 He looked at me with sad eyes. “When I saw you that night, you reminded me of her. I was so lost in the memories, I began to think you were her. Before I knew what was happening, I had already taken you away from the world you once knew. When you were in what vampires call ‘last death’ I had realized what I had done.” He looked down as he spoke again “I regretted it. I knew of what tortures I had gone through, and I never should have gotten so caught up in my love for her.” His head rose and a look of wonderment filled his eyes. “I realized, after I had carried you back here, that you did not resist the transformation. I am not sure if that was because of my vampire seduction or if somehow you wanted to be a vampire.” I was the one who lowered her eyes this time. I stood up and walked to the towering fireplace in the room. “Every since I was a child, I have longed to be a creature of the night. To spend the night traveling the world and doing as I wish with no fears. I have read stories and articles that tell of the life of a vampire. I have researched vampires all my life. I wrapped myself in their life and by doing so I became obsessed. My family feared for me, so they sent me on a vacation to get away from the world I had sunk into. How ironic that things turned out this way.” By now, tears were rolling down my cheek. I knew that I would never see my family again. I would never be able to have children. I would never be able to walk in the sunlight, to feel a soft spring day or watch the wonderment of a sunrise. I was becoming weak in the knees and as emotion overtook me, I felt myself falling to the floor. He caught me before I ever touched the ground. I looked at him with sadness and tears in my eyes and he looked back at me with passion and love. He swept me up with one quick motion and began walking towards another staircase that lead to the basement. As he walked down the staircase, my mind raced back to all of the movies I had seen. Was he taking me to my coffin? “No my sweet. We do not sleep in coffin like the movies. We can sleep anywhere as long as it is away from the sun’s harmful rays.” I turned my eyes to him once more, astonished that he read my thought. “As a vampire, we can read thoughts and locate other vampires by their thoughts. It is a power you will learn to develop. But now we both must rest. It is almost morning and you are weak. Tomorrow night I will explain more to you, and show you how to feed.” The words echoed in my mind and a shiver went up and down my spine. Being wrapped up in the moment, I had failed to recall that vampires drank blood. The thought of drinking blood turned my stomach and made my mouth water. I had an odd feeling but tried my best to suppress it. At the bottom of the staircase, there was a room made of stone with out any windows. The room only contained two beds, a small table beside one of the beds, and a candle on the table. William walked over to one of the beds and placed me softly into it. My eyes had already begun to grow heavy, as did his. He kissed me on the forehead and went to lie in his bed. After he had climbed in, I felt a sense to be close to him. It was so strong that I felt if I was not to be right beside him, I would perish. With what little energy I had left, I slowly climbed out of my bed and into his. He had not fallen into the trance just yet so when I lay down beside him, he placed him arm around me and drew me closer. His embrace seemed to complete me. If the sun were to bust in right there and destroy us both, I would perish very content. Unable to hold my eyes open any longer, I let them close and fell into a deep, deep sleep.
