Young Love/Old Love

At home late July, a lovely but always grumpy Matilda was sitting at her desk reading a business report. A knock sounded at her front door faint but not for supernatural ears. Matilda slowly got to her feet with a scowl upon her face. Annoyed, she answered the door. One of her young coven mates was standing at the door supporting a young man. Eyes glazed over bite mark upon his neck. "Is there a reason you brought your dinner here, Clementine?" The older vampire asked. "I didn't do this," the younger replied," I found him in the ally behind that new spiritual shop. He's turning." Matilida's eyes flashed red. It is against vampire law to turn a human without permission of the coven elder, and Matilda was the only coven elder in this part of Oklahoma. Matilda territory ran from Tulsa Oklahoma to Bella Vista Arkansas, and none of her coven members would turn without permission. "Do you know who did this?" Matilda asked, motioning Clementine to the couch. she started looking over the young man before her. His eyes were glazed over in a red tint. A sight it was a recent bite. Clementinep looked nervous. The coven elder was always in a grumpy mood. "There's talk of a group of new vampires in the area that are not ours," Clementine said in a shaky voice. The boy couldn't be more than eighteen, at least she hoped. To turn, minors were frowned upon. His blond her was soaked in sweat, his breathing shallow, and his heart was beating faster and faster. the turning almost complete. Clementine had a blood bag ready. Pigs blood was. the best for newly turned fledglings, for human blood can cause a feeding frenzy. As Clementine filled a cup with blood, the young came to thirst in his eyes. he drank the blood before looking around him, scared and confused. "What happened?" he asked, scared. "Did I just drink blood?" Matilda, not one to sugar coat anything, stated, "You just turned into a vampire." All he could say was,"Oh." "I found you behind the Magical Wellness shop. You were already bit," Clementine said helpfully. "Do you know who attacked you?" Matilda asked more gently than would be normal for her. her heart seemed to be softening talking to the innocent boy before her. "I closed up the Dusty Used book store when there was a young couple, a boy and girl looked like emo kids. Thought they were lost trying to find that new club on Plymouth Drive. looked like your everyday emo kids, except there eyes there eyes shifted between red, bright blue, and a dark violet color." he replayed. Clementine and Matilda looked at each other, and one thought passed between them. Witches. Turning Witches is definitely against vampire law. They can be very powerful, unpredictable, and very dangerous. Not only do they have the strength and power of vampires, but they also have the power of magic and vampire blood amplifies it. "Are you of witch blood?" Matilda asked. I Thinking maybe they were trying to recruit more of their kind. though Matilda didn't think he was of witch blood. More likely, they assumed he was because he was behind the spiritual shop. "No," he said, looking at his hands,"didn't know you guys was real." "You will stay here tonight. Clementine will look after you," Matilda said, "Do you have anyone that would be worried about your heroes abouts? What is your name?" "I live alone and have two weeks off," he replied," names David." Clementine took David upstairs to a small bedroom and found him some night clothes. Matilda, though, was in a panic. Witch Bloods were forbidden, and to be in there, small out of the way town was worrisome. Matilda video called her twin sister Ava. she was on the vampire council. her sister more perky with energy to spar mellowed out pretty fast. The spark in her eyes gone, her face fell, and the corner of her mouth started to twitch as her twin talked. " This could mean a war is coming," Matilda stated," but hopefully, it's just a couple who are causing havoc. just some troublemakers who think rebellion is amusing." "I will have to inform the council, and an investigation team will be sent. Do you accept David into the Night Rose Coven?" "Yes, he was made in my territory, he will be my responsibility," Matilda said her heart skipped a beat, thinking about him he seemed two innocent for this lifestyle. There are different types of vampires. Matilda is a born vampire of a noble line. her family has always had a seat on the council. Clementine was half blood. Mother is human, but her father is a vampire. David is a turned vampire of human blood. and you have those that are half shifter. Some turned vampires can reproduce, and others can not. There are, of course, blood drinkers. The energy vampires can steal emotion and memories. there's even vampires that have mated with mere folks. The vampire council governs all vampires and has treaties with many other magical governments, including the witches council. the witches council is led by the crone, then there is the mother and the maiden. the shifters have many packs with alphas that make up a larger governing body. The mere folks are ruled by their king. and queen. there is a representation from each government that meets on the summer solstice. Emergency meetings can be called but rare. Vampires are not completely like the movies. Some vampires don't drink blood except when they feel weak or sick. most vampires keep normal hours and normal jobs. Vampires can be killed by normal bullets and blades if you can catch one. Matilda owns a bank chain, while Clementine is a florist. Vampires that do drink blood on a regular basis mostly drink animal blood, but if they do drink human, they don't kill or turn without permission. crime rates have gone down since Matilda gave permission to kill the most foul human beings. There are not that many vampires in Louisiana because it's witch territory. for obvious reasons only vampires that don't drink human blood and have made an unbreakable vow with the local coven are allowed to stay. Most vampire clans prefer smaller quit places. The majority of the Night Rose Coven lives in small towns and on the outskirts of the middle of nowhere type places. Some even living of grid. Matilda noticed it was four in the morning, and her energy was gone. She slowly entered her bedroom, putting on a nightgown that her sister called an old lady nighty. Three hundred years Matilda has looked for a quiet place to settle with her clan she found it in Black Salt Oklahoma. A small town that nobody's heard of. She loves the quite non hurried little farm town. The town is self-reliant in a way. no big grocery chains. All the food is grown local except for foods that can't be grown in the region. Orange juice is popular. Lu-ah is starting all year climate controlled greenhouses to grow anything and everything. One of Matilida's older coven members. Matilda would need to call Lu-ah her girlfriend is a hedge witch and might be in danger. Tired Matilda crawled into bed, drifting to sleep before her head hit the pillow. Matilda woke up after noon. Rubbing sleep from her eyes, she remembered the evening before. Knowing Clementine would take care of David, she took a hot shower, letting the water wash away her worry. she dressed in a lovely yellow sundress. Yellow isn't a happy color. Clementine was downstairs baking she did that when she was stressed, and Matilda kept every ingredient you could imagine.
