As the twentieth century rose to be a time of inventive personalities we went on as before. In the past century I have known loss ignorance dispare heartach and corruption. But I gained so much within this eternity I most certainly would have missed. Such as responsibility love and true friendship.
Many things had changed since I had become a Vampire. Laws government and people's views. The slaves though segregated from the white society were free and could now own their own land.
As the century went forth into each new year things changed. Either drastically or took a great deal of time to occur. But yet they occurred just the same.
But as things changed us we stayed the same. I've never known any other Vampire but Helios Rose and myself. For I had never even though of or meeting another. But in the fall of 1972 this was to happen in a strange and particular way.
I was walking down the road one evening and and had a sense that someone was following me. I turned to look but saw no one. When I turned to walk again there she was standing in front of me. She staired with such enchanting eyes that I thought I may have been dreaming. Until she spoke.
"Hello there." I staired at her with caution.
"No need to fear me. I have no intention of harming you. I'm Maylaia. And you have something I want." I knew that she knew what I was and vice versa. But I feared for I've never seen another Vampire other than Helios.
"And what is that pray tell?" She smiled.
"Its more of a who." I looked at her confused.
"Who?" Her smile became wider to where I could see her fangs.
"I believe you know him. He's a very good friend of yours."
"Helios." I whispered.
"You are a bright one! If you would be so kind is to take me to him I would be very grateful to you."
I was in a state of utter shock. I knew then who she was. And I was quite determined to reunite her with Helios.
