How can I start what is basically a true story, and make it into fantasy? There is no better place than the beginning. I look back at the events that made us meet that day, and a smile comes to an otherwise none descript face. I found you online, a mere fledgling having been abandoned by your sire. I had no choice but to take you in as my own and teach you the ways of our people. True, we are vampires, but not the mythical beings described by many, but a harsher reality. We are no more than genetic mutations of the human race that makes us weak in some areas, and strong in others. Some of us do have powers of the psychic type, us the older ones. The fledglings, well they have to start as babies all over.
Something about you made me take you in, though I had not created you, all those years ago. Now beloved, you are no longer a fledgling but my equal, and the other half of my soul. You have grown powerful on the love I have bestowed upon you. My time to ground comes near, I can feel it, as I grow weaker. No matter how much I feed this savage hunger it is never enough, and before I hurt another innocent, I will disappear for a time. Maybe fifty or a hundred years from now, I shall awaken renewed after my rest deep in the healing soil of our dark mother, Gaia. You have no idea that our good bye is close, you think I am too clingy lately, too emotional. If you knew the reasons for it, then you would understand. Tonight my love, I shall spend with you, making love to you, feeding you the last of my strength, and taking in the last memories of you beloved, and still you will have no clue that when the sunrises, I shall be gone. Yet I am getting ahead of myself here. I am getting ready to meet you in half an hour, I have fed well, my body is warm and youthful looking, dressed in black lace.
The doorbell rings, and it is you, dressed in a tux, and the old fashioned cape, rose in hand. I look at you, taking it all in. The tux, the cape, the white rose in your hand and your beloved face. I manage a smile for you, and bring you inside my chamber. We kiss deeply greeting each other, I can sense your anticipation. You know what I am about to do, and your body craves it, like humans crave their drugs. I take the white rose, the symbol of our love and place it in a tiny vase. I light the candles that will illuminate us this evening, with a slow, not hurried hand. I can hear your breathing start to come in gasps as your instinct tells you that you might be in danger from the creature that one nurtured you, the creature you now call your life mate. I go to the kitchen and pull out the red bottle, our so called liqueur from the fridge. I take a look at what you are doing, silently spying on you. You are taking off your formal clothes and changing into something more suited for our purpose tonight. I smile, picking up the two goblets and the red bottle, walk towards you. I open the bottle, letting the scent of the contents reach our sensitive senses. I smile as I see you are wearing nothing but the collar of a slave made from steel, and the chains that bind your hands together. I feed you the liquid we call life, a little human blood mixed with red wine, and watch as your body reacts to the sensuality of the moment, I smile letting the indiscretion go, as we have not yet started. You begin to tie on your blind fold as I drink from the very same nectar of life. I finish my goblet, and our passionate night begins.
