Chapter 1: The Devil Inside of Me
I close my eyes the lantern flame dies
And fades away into the fog filled night
I fall into a deep winter sleep
As the silver full moon rises into the night sky
And casts it silvery gaze on the forest of eternal night
Blurring the line between the day and light
The summers air once warm and inviting
Is now cold and replaced by snow covered hills
Dressed in blanket of white
The forest of beauty and elegance is now leafless and dead
But only for small glimmer of time
Till the sun comes back to light the world in its warm embrace
Reviving it from its slumber and giving light to all things filling it with life.
When a vampire rises for the night, the first thing he or she becomes aware of is sound. We hear the sound of people breathing, the sound s of blood pumping through a mortals veins and the sound of footsteps as they sprint through a cemetery at the dead of night. The wind gently whispers through the mausoleum where my coffin rest during the daylight hours bringing me the sounds of the city. The world around me becomes alive. For a vampire like me the more I think about my life the angrier I become and the more energy I feel.
I am forever stuck at the age of twenty- three , never to move forward or age like normal people. I watch those around me age and die and am unable to do so myself. My family members are all dead but I am forever doomed to remain as I am and this thought makes my life unbearable. I can only blame myself because I was the one who fell in love with a hunter.
I made the choice to fraternize with the devil and I got burned in more ways than just one. Whether I like it or not I got what I deserve and I have to deal with the consequences of my own actions. No matter how much it pains me to know that I caused the deaths of my family I have to move forward in my life and let go of the past. Holding on to anger and grief only brings pain and sows the seeds of disease inside one’s self. I push open the lid of my coffin letting in the light of the full moon and am ready to start my day. I decide to go for a walk not that I really want to. Do you want to go with me? If so I don’t mind at least this way you can see thing’s from my point of view for a while instead of everyone else’s. It’s nice to meet you by the way and yes as you guessed my name is Raven Isabelle Nightshade and I was born a vampire. I’m an Original and we are descended from a very long line of English royalty.
