Chapter 3

April 30, 1664
A small village on the countryside of Germany.
Once we arrived, you could see the mothers hold their children close and scurry off to their houses and close the curtains, trying very hard to stay unseen. The men tryed to lift their heavy tools and run as fast as they could. Vlad pointed to one male and motioned me to attack. I stood for a moment and smelled the air. i crouched and stealthed in. As I reached the human male, he started to run to a shed, trying to escape me. I followed close behind and as soon as he was cornered, I pounced upon him and before he could squeal, He was dead and his blood in my system. Vlad appeared as if by magic, carring the man's wife and child. I feasted upon them quickly. He looked at me and motioned me to follow. He motioned towards five other houses.
"sie benötigen, um getötet zu werden ... sie alle" They need to be killed...all of them. He said this as if they were pests. I only nodded. I ran from the dark wodden shed and ran through feild quickly and reached a large boulder. I jumped from the boulder and crashed into a nearby house, thorugh the roof. Two children, a mother and a father stood terrifyed by my grand entrance. Once I grabbed hold of the mother and tightened my grip on her neck, I felt a soft hit against my back. I snapped the woman's neck and let her corpse drop to the floor. I turned to see the man with a wooden plank in his hands ready to fight. I chuckled softy and kicked him back. He flew against the wooden wall, breaking through. I saw Vlad, twenty feet away staring at the dead man in suprise, then lifting his glance to me and laughed hard. The children were still on the floor terrifyed. I turned with a single swipe of my newly grown nails, they were very clawlike, I strached their chests open. I gave neither of thef a chance to scream. I fed upon their blood quickly, turned to the mother and did the same and finnaly, turning to the man and repeating the proccess. I still had four houses to go. They were eventless deaths. I simply broke in, mostly through the roof, and overpowered every human how stood in my way, and for that mater, the ones that cowered in fear. Once I was finished with my feast, i looked down at my dress, expecting it to be ruined by my ruthless and untidy killing. Although, it was perfectly clean. Vlad looked at me and I noticed that there was a little blood on his lips. I gave him a questioning look and he smiled a little and held up a dead cat as if he were a child who took a cookie from the forbidden cookie jar. I couldn't help but let out a laugh. I was beautiful, if I do say so myself. It sounded as if the wind and the music of the world came together and joined as one, and danced off my lips and into the cool breeze. He looked at me as if i were a swan, and stood there for a long moment, in awe I suppose. It was awkward so I made a teasing geature and ran off toward the castle. He only smiled and chased after me. Once he caught up with me, he picked up my hand and carefully, quickly, and gracfully, picked me up and gave me a ride back to the castle of dreams, hope. This is a life changer and I am ready to meet every obstacle. Vlad would be by me. He would stand next to me. I feel as if when I look back, four hundred, five hundred years later, I will be sure to remeber the feelings of joy in the past day. Vlad chuckling to my naive childlikeness, he riding me to the castle, feeling like I am flying. I am ready future, hit me with your best shot. I will stand by him, as he will me. Together nothing will stand between us. Nothing.

Chapter 2

April 30, 1664
Neuschwanstein Castle
I felt a stronger presence, not in the room, but within myself. I felt like I had slept and now I was refreashed and was at my best. I could run a thousand miles and feel fine. My eyes flew open as a felt a sweet, crimson taste in my mouth, being poured down my throat. I immeditly craved more.
"Meister, kann ich bitte mehr?" Master, may i please have more? A man that was very tall, who looked very powerful. He was dark and mysterious. My brain was on auto-pilot when I said "Master". He had very pale skin with a smile that was wiked but famillar.
"Weißt du, was das ist, sind Sie Lust auf mehr?" Do you realize child, what you are craving more of?
"Nien" No
"Was du bist Verkostung ist Blut. in der Tat, deine Mutter das Blut" What you are tasting is blood. In fact, your mother's blood. I gasped in horror of myself. How could I crave my mother so badly. Then what I thought next scared me even more. I still wanted more, Mother's or not.
"wirklich? Bitte, Herr, ich brauche mehr!" Really? Please, Master, I need more! He handed me the glass and I sat up off the stone floor. I downed the wine glass full of my mother's blood quickly.
"Danke, Meister"Thank you, Master
"Sie können mich anrufen Vlad Dracula"You may call me Vlad Dracula
"Ja, Dracula" Yes, Dracula. Dracula began to explian what I was, other than a vampire of course, and how to handle myself. I looked at him closely feeling like I've seen him before. Then it hit me, he had changed me into what I was. I listened carefully, taking mental notes on what to do. I gawked at his beauty and wondered if i looked like him as well. He had long brown hair. It was straight and tamed. He facial features were perfect. The curve of his lips, the shape of his nose. His eyes were a blood red and his lips were a deep purple. Underneath his eyes were a darker shade than his skin. He smiled at me when he noticed I was staring. His cainines were razor sharp, his smile was cocky as if he knew I thought he was beautiful. He explained how now I was weak for a vampire and needed blood to gather my strength. I could still take a human easily but I would not want to attack a skilled vampire such as Vlad. He told me that he and I would have to go to a village and drink all the blood. I didn't know what to say. The first thing I told him was that I didn't know how to fight so how could I kill a human without any skill. He simply shrugged and told me that instinct would kick in and I would go into predatory mode and kill them off as quickly as possible. I asked him what if there were people in that village who, like me, had potential as a vampire. He told me that was highly unlikely and not to worry about weather they were good or not. He offered his hand and helped me up. I was taller than I thought but when i looked down, I was wearing scarlet shoes with two inch heels. I also had on a dress with fuzzy black material and what looked like satin red material dripping down like blood. We walked and both of us click clacked because he was wearing italian loafers with a casual looking tuxedo. We passed a mirror I tryed to see what I looked like, I looked like a pale goddes, I was pleased. I noticed i never saw Vlad in the mirror though.
"Vlad, warum kann ich dich nicht in den Spiegel?" Vlad, why can't I see you in the mirror? Now that I had a little blood rushing in me, my voice was pure and extraodinary.
"wenn Sie sind so alt wie ich bin, Bilder von sich selbst verschwinden und Sie nicht mehr sehen, selbst in den Spiegel." When you are as old as I am, images fade and you no longer see yourself in the mirror. He said simply as if he did not miss his reflection, but when you are this beautiful, why would you not want to see yourself? I had my black hair that was wavy and it flowed wonderfully, I'm sure i could make murder look gracful too. While we continued walking i took in my surrondings. It seemed everywhere i went it was stone walls with pictures of various vampires, the stone floor mostly covered with red rugs and on the side lie vases and statues and so many things to look at. Suits of Armor and so on. I was so engulfed that when we reached, Vlad had to stop me from running straight into the door,
"bekümmert" Sorry
"kein Problem, nun folge mir nach, und spielen Sie genau auf, wohin du gehst" Not a problem, now follow me, and pay attention to where you are going. he chuckled lightly which made my heart skip a beat. What? I asked myself how could i have been entoxicated by his laugh. I put that out of my mind. He turned to me and opened the door and motioned me to go first. He and i locked looks as i made my way out the door. Once outside, i truly got the feeling i was in the presence of a vampire. The garden was well tended and had plants but everything was foggy all around making the garden have a blue-ish green tint. Vlad bent down and picked up something from the garden in one swift motion. He handed a black flower to me. I inspected it more closly and it was a rotting rose. I knew it was a symbol, for we are vampires and are dead. It was purplish black and beautiful anyways. I looked at him and smiled. He nodded once and put it on the side of my ear. He motioned me to follow and then, at the walls surronding the garden, he open the large, steel gate. he gave me a competitive smile and sprinted off. Vlad was a blur ahead and with instinct I sprinted off after him. The two inch heels didn't seem to make a difference.

Chapter 1

April 28, 1664
Small Village in the Countryside of Germany
I awoke suddenly as sun rose and started it's swift journey across the sky. I had to go fetch the water. I jumped up and ran into the kitchen, hopefully Mother would not have awoken yet or maybe out on the feilds gathering the wheat or barley. I ran to get the pale and Mother was standing there in her usual long dress that went down just below her ankles. It was a pink flowery dress, with a white apron that tyed neatly from her waist to the bottem of her dress. She had a worn out bonnet that kept her hair from the cold winters and the summers. She looked at me and her pale blue eyes were shot with tears. Their were strands of her loose, brown, straight hair framing her face. She was worried and I didn't know why.
"Mutter, was ist los?" Mother, what is wrong? She only cryed harder and I listened hard as she mumbled through her heavy tears
"Ihr Vater wurde getotet." Your father has been killed. It took me quiet i while for me to react, when I did, I collapsed to the floor, sobbing because i knew the reason why.
"Vampir" Vampire I whispered. Mother only nodded. "Kommen sie?" Are they coming? This made her cry harder she finally said, quiet clearly,
"Sie sind schon da. Wir werden sterben." They are already here. We are going to die. They did not have to keep this a secret. The element of suprise was not needed. They were very powerful and a mere human would never stand in their way. They knew we knew they were coming and had every intention of killing us all. We were going to be breakfast. I heard the first scream and I ran to the door to see the murder for myself. They were very swift and if it wasn't trecherous on how they feasted upon us, I would have marveled at their beauty. They made murder look gracful. Mother cryed for me to get in they house but one of them looked right at me with blood running off his chin and his blood red eyes on me. Everything went fast and then slow. In what seemed like nano-seconds, He was crouching behind me ready for the kill. Then what seemed like hours, he stood up straight as if to change his mind. He turned to Mother and looked at her as if she was a dessert. She screamed "Bitte Keine!" Please no! He seemed to not hear her and pounced on her and latched on to her neck as her aghast expression turned into a lifeless corpse. I looked in horror in what these monsters did to my family. He turned back to me and i got ready to run.
"Keine Angst, mein Junge, ich will dich nicht toten. Ich spure ein Prasenz withen Sie, dass Nutzen sein werden. Sie wird von uns." Do not fear, young one, I am not going to kill you. I sense a presence within you that with be usefull. You will become one of us. The words were said in a calm manner and the voice was very calming, lavish. I wanted to spit on him and yell how I would never turn, but it sounded like a good idea. I surrendered the only way i knew how, I kneeled and said,
"Machen Sie es kurz, ist, dass alles, was ich fragen." Make it quick, that is all I ask. He did not hesitate, he walked up to me and gripped my neck with his hands and shot his razor teeth easily through my skin. I shuddered but soon fell uncounsious and my last thought was how could i ever be usefull to a vampire. I was sixteen that day.
