I am a preternatural being, I am outside of nature, so far
from light and life, that I will be hunted and haunted for all eternity. Yet I
came into this world as any human being is born.
The year was 1797; it was a cold winter night as rain
pelted against the windows of Amelia Vasser’s bedroom window. Sweat coated her
human body, leaving her cold and shivering. Her screams echoed through the
small chateau in France. With a final push, I was born, pale and small. My eyes
opened to reveal a remarkable emerald green. Only moments old, I smiled at my
mother to expose a mouthful of sparkling white teeth, fangs hung over my little
red lips begging for blood. Amelia only had a few seconds to cuddle me to her
chest before my Father took me away and the next baby came and then another.
I had officially been born into the Carpathian race, to
the Vasser coven under the time of the Phoenix. This was a time when vampires
began to mutate into something more, something so limitless that no one dared
acknowledge that we existed. We were not the only breed of vampires, the
Balkans were very present at this time. Born on opposite sides of the mountain,
we were enemies from the start. The Carpathians revered natural life, choosing
to feed from animals and live in peace with the human race. However, the Balkans were believed to be the
dominate species and saw humans as nothing more than food. For as long as
legend goes back the two vampire colonies have been at war. The Balkans, the
stronger breed for drinking human blood had created a shield within them. It allowed them to feed less and a film of poison to protect them from
attack. For centuries they dominated, killing the Carpathians in mass,
annihilating entire covens without thought.
That is until I was born, I am Aurora Vasser the immortal,
mortal child. Along with my siblings a new age would come, one where the
Carpathians were destined to rule…
Please feel free to comment! I know it needs a lot of work.
