(Opinions please...)
The voices in her head made her scream loudly. She shouted for hours, as she laid on the dirty floor. Alone she was in the dungen of the dark, cold, castle. Her name was Maria, she was captured by vampire soldiers, while trying to escape from the vampiric leader Ruan. Maria has been a human slave for over 50 years.
To keep her youth, the vampires gave her their blood. she was to serve them for centuries, as their sex slave, until she finally tried to run off; only to be placed in the dungen.
"Let me out of here!!!" she screamed loudly, only to hear her screams echo the long hall. "You vampires are monsters!!!" Maria yelled once more.
"Shut up!!" the guard yelled, "The master will be here very soon!!" he laughed as he spoke.
Maria curled up into the corner of the small holding cell. She wished she was back at home with her family, playing outside with her 3 younger sisters.
Footsteps could be heard walking down the steep stairwell, "Open the cell door..." her vampire master commanded. Her master wasn't the same as Ruan, he was more kind and gentle than him, and he had respect for humans. His name was Alexander, ruans younger brother. He walked over to Marias pale body, "Why do you do this to yourself?"
"Why do i have to be your slave!?" she yelled up at him.
"I'd rather you be my slave, than have to watch you die...." Alexander said as he knelt down next to her. He picked up her cold body from the floor, and carried her back up the stairwell, "Please Maria, to me you are a friend, perhaps more than that, i have very strong feelings for you, and no one is going to break that. If you keep trying to run away, I won't beable to save you from ruan much longer..."
Maria knew what alexander had meant, Ruan wanted to torture her body on the display table in the throne room by, raping, cutting open, and draining her body dry. She once came very close to have that happen to her, but Alexander saved her life. She spoke softly, as if she was whispering, "You love me?"
"Yes...if you call it love, then yes, I love you.." he said with a smile, flashing his sharp fangs. Alexander walked down the long hallway, filled with paintings along the walls, and black candles that were already lit. The black carpet on the floor was absolutely beautiful to his black eyes.
"Why not make me yours then?" Maria asked, as she smiled up at him, while being held in his strong arms.
"You already are mine.." he replied. Alexander walked into his room, and placed Maria down onto his bed, laying her head onto the soft pillow.
"No...I mean..." Maria was cut off by his words.
"I know what you mean, but Ruan won't have it!" he growled lowly.
His room was filled with candles, and paintings as well. Alexanders walls were pitch black with red lining.
"Since when do you listen to your brother? You love me right?..If it's true then make me yours!!" she yelled, taking her finger and cutting herself along her neck with her fingernail.
Alexander stared at the delicious red blood, "Why do you tempt me so?"
"Do it!...Please...if you love me! Let me be with you as one, and if Ruan hates this then we shall kill him.." she responded to him.
Alexander leaned down as his fangs lengthened. He licked the blood off her neck, and licked his lips, as he opened his jaw widely, and lunged into her tender neck. Bringing her body closer to him, as he continued to drink from her, running his fingers through her black hair.
"What in the devil are you doing alexander!!??" Ruan yelled, as he threw Alexander off of Maria. Ruan looked at her, and then back at Alexander, "So you think you could make her yours, and then kill me?!"
Alexander stood up and eyed Ruan, "Leave!! She is mine now..."
"The hell she is..." Ruan growled at his brother and grabbed Maria up over his shoulder,.."For this she will die..." He walked for the door, when alexander appeared infront of him, his eyes glowing, as he stared deeply at Ruan.
"Put her down brother....I won't ask you again" Alexander demanded.
Marias life was slowly slipping away as the two argued. Finally she had fallen hard onto the floor ontop of Ruan, after Alexander had staked him and ripped his head off.
Alexander picked her up, and once again, placed her onto his bed. He climbed over top of her, and bit into his wrist, letting the blood drip into her mouth. She awoke with black eyes as well, her hair raven black, and half way down her black. Gleaming white fangs had shown when she smiled up at Alexander.
He leaned down and kissed her deeply, whispering softly, "He's dead my love...but now we must face the elders for our actions..."
~Continued~
As he stared at me, I began to feel dizzy; hearing him speaking thoughts into my head, 'Thanks to your lover, I am now also a vampire...and you will be mine again!' I passed out onto the ball room floor, Morbius kneeled down beside me, "Selene? Selene wake up." I opened my eyes, and spoke softly, "Morbius, Gabriel is here, he's a vampire." The people surrounding us, looked around the room for Gabriel, but saw nothing. "Are you sure you saw him Selene?" Morbius asked me. "Yes I'm sure!!" I yelled, "He said I was to be his again...." Morbius looked at me,.."I promise you I won't let that happen."
"There he is!!" Madam Christine yelled, "Over by the fireplace! I can sense new vampires anywhere...." Gabriels' gold eyes glared over at Morbius, "So, you think you can just take my bride and have her all to yourself Morbius?" Morbius glared back with his piercing green eyes, "Her and I are already wedded, she is now my bride, we have exchanged each others blood, which makes us bonded for eternity." "Ah, but you have forgotten something Morbius! I can just take her back by killing you..." replied Gabriel. Every one in the room all glared at Gabriel, "Really? Is that a challenge?" Morbius grinned. "Just a warning....make sure to watch your back, you never know when I will appear," Gabriel says and then disappears into thin air.
I looked at Morbius, "He's not going to stop until he has me!" a single red tear streams down my cheek. "Don't worry, he can't kill me.....he's not that strong," Morbius replied looking at me. "Yes, but, he could always figure out ways to kill you Morbius," I said frowning, "Maybe we should leave...?" "And go where!? This is my home Selene, I am not going to let some idiotic fool try to ruin our lives! When he comes back again, I will be sure to rip out his heart and eat it whole..." he responded. Christine looked at me, "Your Highness, maybe the rest of us could be of some assistance? We could help you get rid of Gabriel." "That would be very helpful to us, if you all would," I responded. Christine noded and Morbius' sister Justine walked over to us, "Morbius, can I talk with you alone?" "As you wish..." Morbius replied, and walked with Justine through the wooden oak doors.
Leaving me by myself, I walked up the castle stairs and back into our royal bedroom. I closed the door behind me, and sat down on the bed, laying my head back on the pillow. "Enjoying the party?" a voice echoed around the room. Gabriel appeared beside me, and ran his hands down my sides. "Gabriel!!" I yelled. "Selene!! What a pleasant surprise...." he said grinning at me. "Get out of here!" "What? No kiss?" he laughed as he spoke. I bared my fangs at him,.."Get out...." He grabbed ahold of me, and sinked his fangs into me, draining me of my blood as we both disappeared.
When we reappeared, we were someplace different. It was dark and cold, I couldn't see anything. I had lost blood once more, and felt as if I wouldn't survive. Gabriel had layed me on top of a cold rock, and sat beside me, "I wish you had just given me the chance Selene." He bit into his wrist, and put it to my mouth, not being able to resist, for my hunger grew inside of me; I drinked some of his delicious blood. Gabriel laughed as he pulled away, "Now you are bonded with me as well..." I sat up looking at him, "Why are you doing this? Why can't you just leave Morbius and I alone? You know I don't want to be with you, so why force me to love you when I never will?" "Oh you will love me, in due time..." Gabriel responded, "Once you know the truth..." "The truth?" I asked him, "What truth?" Gabriel gave me a blank stare, "It's nothing, just forget it...." "Please?" I asked. "No!" he replied in a hateful tone. Looking away, i looked around the dark place, it seemed we were in a cave. The bats flew around the top, as I could hear a stream of water flowing nearby. I went to get up by Gabriel pulled me back down, and leaned over me. "You're not going anywhere..." Growling lowly, I pushed him off of me.
Morbius snarled at Christine, "What do you mean Selene is gone!? Where did she go?" "I don't know, she rushed up the stairs and to the bedroom, I never saw her come out," Christine responded. "Gabriel must of been waiting for her! I know where he has taken here" he growled at Christine, "Justine! Get a few vampires to come with us...." "Yes brother..." Justine replied, walking off. Morbius walks up the stairs and into the bedroom, grabbing his weapons. Christine walks in behind him, "Are you sure she is the one for you?" "Excuse me?" he asked. "Selene, are you sure Selene is right for you Morbius?" Christine asked him. "Christine this is not the time to question me about this, but yes, I do believe she is the one for me...." "But what if she finds out your secret?" Christine looked at Morbius. "Then she will have to choose...." he replied. Justine walks into the room, "We are ready." "Good then,..let's go," he said walking out of the room.
Gabriel smiled at me, "Do you really love Morbius?" I looked at him, "Yes....why?" "What if I told you, Morbius was keeping a secret from you?" he had asked me. "He'd never keep a secret from me...." "Whatever you say, Selene..." I sat there, looking through the cave, feeling my hunger once again grow inside me, not able to fight it. A cool breeze came through the small tunnel, as the entrance of the cave was very near. Gabriel once again bites into his wrist, giving me his arm. No!" I yelled. "If you don't feed yourself you are going to die! Now Drink!" he yelled back. Knowing he was right, I took ahold of his arm, and began to drink his sweet warm blood once again; he moaned quietly as I did this.
"Such sweet and innocent you are Selene..." he said as he pulled his arm away once again. "Please just let me go Gabriel?" I asked. "No..." "If you care about me so much, you would let me go!" I shouted. My shouting had echoed throughout the cave, when I heard a fimiliar voice. It was Morbius I thought to myself,..he has come to save me. Gabriel laughed, "He has come to save you!? Now that is going to be something I have to see..." I growled at him as Morbius and the others approached.
"Let her go Gabriel!! She wants nothing to do with you!" Morbius spoke. "She is bonded with me now, as well Morbius...." Gabriel said, smiling. Morbius looked over at me, when I responded, "I had no choice, he drained me of my blood, and I had to feed,...I'm sorry." Morbius growls at Gabriel. "Pissed off are we?" Gabriel asked, baring his fangs at Morbius, "Why don't you tell her your dark secret?" I looked at Morbius, "Dark secret?" "There is nothing to tell Gabriel, so keep your lying mouth shut...." Morbius responded. Gabriel laughed..."Make me!" Morbius growled once again, and lunged at Gabriel, knocking him to the ground. Knocking each other around, Gabriel snarled at Morbius, "She will be mine..." "Not if you're dead!" Morbius growled at Gabriel, and threw him against a sharp rock, cutting deep into his side. Gabriel groaned as he got up, and lunged back at Morbius; only to be thrown once again, this time into the side of the cave. As this was done, I began to feel the ground shake. The place was going to be caved in. Morbius grabbed me and we all escaped the rocks that were pouring into the cave where we once were sitting. As I looked back into the cave, I didn't see Gabriel come out. Morbius looked at me, "He's more than likely trapped...." he said with a smile. We traveled through the forests, and headed back to the castle. Once we got there, Morbius landed me on my feet, when I had a flashback. I don't know if it was of my past life or not, but I was with this man, who looked very much like Gabriel. He was making sweet passionate love to me, as if we were wedded to each other, whispering, "We will be together again, my love." I fainted, and Morbius caught me. He must of brought me on the sofa, for that is where I woke up. Morbius was sitting infront of me, staring at me, "You passed out outside the castle doors, are you alright?" "I'm fine, I just had this vision, it's nothing," I responded to him. "Alright then, get some rest, we have to get ready for another ball tomorrow night," he said as he got up and walked away. I closed my eyes and went back to sleep. Meanwhile back at the cave, Gabriel climbed out through the rocks that had fallen upon him...
~Continued~
...My name is Selene du Coudray, and I am not like a normal human, infact, i'm not even human at all. I am a vampire. In these next few chapters, you will learn how I came to be what i am, and how i live my everlasting life.....
Chp 1: Reborn Again
It was the year 1640; I had already turned 16 years old, when my father had arranged a marriage for me. Of course I didn't want to marry the man, but I didn't really have a choice. I was inlove with another, he was someone not from around the small town of France that i lived in. His name was Morbius, and how fine he was; the perfect gentlemen. Although, there was something strange about Morbius; his piercing green eyes, jet black hair, there was just something mysterious about him that I couldn't figure out. Mysterious he was all right, sleeping during the day, and only coming to visit me at night. I questioned him about his ways, but he gave the same response, 'Selene, you know that i am sensitive to light, that is why I prefer to sleep all day'. Always I accepted his answer, but still there was something strange about him.
My father had asked the young man he was going to make me marry, come over for dinner and what not. I begged him not to, but my father just completly ignored me. He gave me more of his lectures when I would just think of the words that Morbius had told me, 'If your father brings that man to meet you, I will surely be there to kill him!!'. I tried to warn my father, but he would just laugh at my words.
Soon after the young man had arrived in his carriage; entering the castle, only to spot me standing at the bottom of the stairs. 'How do you do Miss?' he had asked me. I just nodded to him and walked away, hearing my father yelling my name. 'Be respectful Selene or I shall be disrespectful to you later...'. I knew what my father had meant, for he would always beat me, if i were to do something wrong. Morbius knew of this, but he said he'd only get involved if he saw it happen. The young man named Gabriel walked up to me, and took my hand, kissing on it gently. Giving him a fake smile, the maids came out telling us it was time for dinner. We headed our way to the dinning room, and sat down at the table. I loved the food that the maids cooked, always so delicious, and the deserts were always so good.
After i had finished my dinner, I told everyone I wasn't feeling well, and wanted to change. My father nodded, and I got up from the table, and headed back for my bedroom. Little did I know, Gabriel had followed me. 'So, you are my bride to be?' he asked, looking at my half buttoned dress. 'I will never be yours....' i responded back to him,..'So please leave....' Gabriel had laughed, walking closer to me, 'Ah but, I ant to see how my brides body looks....' He took a hold of me,...kissing on my neck, as he slipped off my gown, exposing my nude body. Pushing him off, i yelled...'I am inlove with another,..i will not be yours....get out!!' 'Such a tough woman you are,...I like that' he responded, pushing me onto my bed. Climbing ontop of me, he takes a dagger out, 'If you won't be mine, then you will be no ones....' he says, dragging the dagger along my stomach; blood seeping out. I screamed in pain, when he put his hand over my mouth, and whispered into my ear, 'Now are you mine or not?' 'Never!! I'd rather die than be with someone I do not love...' 'That can be arranged...' he said in a blood thirsty tone.
Gabriel forced the dagger into my stomach, enjoying my screams of pain. Morbius hiding in the shadows, jumped out at Gabriel, tackling him to the floor, "What do you think you are doing!?" Gabriel looks up shockingly at Morbius, "Taking her life!" "Not if I can help it...." Morbius said and sinked his fangs into the side of Gabriels neck viciously. Gabriels screams could more than likely be heard around the castle, for my father and the guards were already at my door banging on it. Morbius got up and carried me into his arms and out of the window. The door then bursted open, and my father walked inside, "What the hell! Selene where are you?!" "Go search for her!!" he commanded the guards.
It felt as if we were flying; I had lost alot of blood and was starting to pass out when finally we reached the ground. Morbius layed me down onto the soft grass, nothing was surrounding us except for a small lake. The wind was blowing a little and I felt numb, cold, as if close to death. I felt a soft hand caress my face, and then felt sharp piercing in the side of my neck. I moaned out in pain, but then felt a warm liquid drop onto my lips; only to grab onto his arm and drink his sweet warm blood. Morbius pulled away after a few moments, and I fell back, as everything turned black; into nothingless. I remember seeing flashes of my past, my family, friends, and everything I have ever known; which was now to be forgotten. While I slept, I could hear Morbius talking with another, not being able to quite figure out as to what they were saying.
"Selene?" Morbius whispered into my ear, "Wake up my darling." I awoke, staring at Morbuis with crystal blue eyes, and looked around. It seems Morbius had moved me, for I was no longer out laying in the cool grass. I was surrounded by red satin sheets, candles, and many paintings. A woman stood far by the open door, "Who is she?" I asked him. "That is my sister Justine," he responded. "How do you feel my love?" he asked, gently kissing me on my forehead. "Like a newborn," I answered. A newborn I really was, reborn to be exact. I could see differently with my new eyes, and I felt sharp pointy teeth with my tongue, I knew i was no longer human in this world. My nails were about an inch long, looking like clear glass, and my hair was longer; at least half way down my back. Raven black my hair was, so soft and silky. My skin was now pale as snow, and my lips red as blood.
Morbius took my hand and sat me up, "I'm sorry you had to end up like me, Selene." "What do you mean?" I asked him, Justine leaving my eye sight. "I never wanted you to be damned like one of us, vampires.." he responded. "It's not your fault, Gabriel is the one who tried to kill me, there was nothing else that you could have done....I know that now," I said with a smile. I looked around more, seeing the blood red walls, and black carpet, also seeing some beautiful gowns already laid out for me. "I hope you enjoy it here," he says as he looks at me. "As long as I am with you, I will love it here." "Good, now get dressed, there is to be a ball tonight," he said as he walks out of the room, closing the door behind him.
After he had left the room, I stood up and walked over to the table where the gowns had been layed out across. Looking through them, my eyes caught a black victorian gown with blood red lining, and on the floor I saw the matching black heels. I went over to the mirror, and undressed myself of what I had been wearing; slipping on a slip and then the beautiful gown. Putting my hair up into a bun, leaving a strand of hair hanging down both sides of my face; I stared at myself in the mirror.
Morbius called out to me from down the stairs, telling me the guests had arrived. I rushed out of the room, and walked down the long stairwell. Reaching the bottom, I walked into the ballroom; seeing I believe maybe a hundred people so far. Morbius walked over to me, "All of these people have been asking about you Selene." "Me? Why?" I asked him. "Well you are my bride, and the new princess." "Princess!!??" my eyes widened as I looked at him. "Yes, I never told you I was a prince, because I didn't know how you would react," he explained. I stared at him in complete shock, "Well that would explain the castle," I laughed. A woman wearing a dark green gown, with jewels all over, walked over to us, and bowed before me, "I am Madam Christine, Your Highness." I nodded to her and looked over to the large oak wood doors. As I looked, a man with a fimiliar face walked in. It was Gabriel, I knew his face anywhere, but how could he still be alive, I asked myself. Gabriel gave me a cold-blooded stare....
