The Dawn
Let's start at the beginning, over 100 years ago in… 1839, I was born from a loving family, my mother, father, sister, and 3 brothers in a little cottage in a small town. To be frank I barely remember what the town is now, or what it was. Anyways, it doesn't matter, I would say I had a pretty good childhood, I would help my mom bake and sow for the town and gather wood for the family fireplace. Sadly, my childhood ended short. When I was around 14 years old, my mother asked me to gather firewood for the cold night approaching, unfortunately, the firewood had to be gathered from the forest. The forest wasn't far from our little cottage, and my mother could easily watch me from inside, however, I went too far for her view. While gathering the firewood, I suddenly heard swift movement behind me, but I couldn't see where it was from. I continued to gather firewood when I heard the movement again, but this time I saw a blur of red and black. Unlike before, I didn't continue gathering the firewood and looked around as my anxiety rose. When I turned around to observe my surroundings, suddenly three silhouettes appeared behind me, 2 in red silk robes and 1 in black, but it was tarnished and old. Once I turned to their gaze, I froze for several moments, the two in red silk suddenly reached for me and I ran as fast as I could. I screamed and shouted for my mother, but my voice could not be heard in the dense trees. Suddenly my wrist was grabbed and I was pulled back, the two in red silk held my arms open in a vulnerable state where I could not use my strength to break free. Slowly, the one in black approached me, locking eyes with what seemed to be my death. As he got closer, I could see his long white fangs and grayish skin, he took off his robe to reveal a creature, grey and muscular with bat wings that matched his unsettling color. After revealing himself, he moved my hair aside and bent my neck at a side angle, I tried to scream for help but he put his finger over my mouth and spoke softly, “Don’t worry my child, this is not your death, but a gift. Besides no one is here to rescue you.” As he slowly bit into my neck, I felt the excruciating pain spread throughout my body and screamed like a whaling banshee in the night. Eventually, I stopped screaming as my body felt weak from my soul, slowly dying. As my soul slowly left me, I felt something else enter, taking its place, and I fainted.The Curse
After a few hours, I awoke to a stone room, chained to the wall. A gentleman was sitting before me, with long black hair, neatly dressed in Eastern fashion, and strong facial features. He spoke to me in a familiar soft tone, “Well, well, little one, you surely took your time.” As I was about to answer, I felt a sudden, deep hunger, the pain was dreadful and I knew I needed to find something fast. Suddenly, the gentleman offered me a glass of what seemed like a dark red substance. Desperately, I took a sip, I felt a strong sense of enrichment and power which led me to drink more, not knowing what I was becoming. Once the glass became empty, I was in a state of manic, trembling as it coursed through my veins. I took a look at the gentleman when I began to feel the chains holding me shift, it suddenly went black. I opened my eyes to being stood up and no longer bound, my hands were covered in blood, the gentleman was impaled by a black spike piercing through the wall, covered in claw and bite marks. I was suddenly washed with guilt and horror, I ran fast, faster than I ever had before, it felt exhilarating. But only a few moments before the dread appeared, I could not get back home. Lost and Alone, I did what any 14-year-old would, I started walking.The Possession
A few years have gone by at this time, I would say im around… 17, or 18 at this point. Over the years I have attempted to control my hunger to avoid killing for human blood, and so far I have not succeeded very well… I can’t go more than 3 months without needing to consume. I have also started growing wings from my back, I had to relearn balance as they weighed me down. I got this mutation from the one who turned me, the man I killed years ago. Turns out he was no man, but a beast, I have learned what I could about him, so far his name was Demitri, one of the vampire elders, well, used to be, he was from the European Countries which explained his attire when I was chained. Other than that, there was not much information about him, I assume for the elder's safety. I often question what other abilities has he given me, so far I can run at unnatural speeds, I can hear and see things several miles away, I need to get used to my new balance before I decide to take a fly, and my healing factor is amazing, I accidentally fell off a tree the week before and broke my ankle, but it healed within 10 minutes, oddly enough, I began to like it. However, over the years, my blackouts became more frequent, only wake up surrounded by destruction and chaos, it's almost like a pattern. I started hearing a voice in my head recently… After the last blackout, I don’t know if I've gone crazy or if this is something more. I keep hearing whispers of the name “Vice” I wasn't sure what it meant back then. I eventually did find my little cottage again, but I knew the consequences if I ever went back… I just wanted to see it one last time. My mom died a few years after I went missing, I'm pretty sure she had a broken heart. After she died I felt guilty and angry, I started screaming and hitting my chest, asking God, “Why must I suffer like this?”, “Why must I be forced to walk alone?”, finally understanding the drawbacks of immortality, and then I heard a response, but not from God, it was from something much darker. “Aww.. don’t be so down, you’re not alone” followed by a sinister giggle. I looked around to see nothing in sight, but where did the voice come from? Then I heard it again, “Looking for me? Silly little Girl.. Im not out here~ Im in here~”. Suddenly I felt an overwhelming feeling of tiredness, and I blacked out again, but this was different from before. This time I wake in a void, nothing in sight, I called out “Hello?!”, only to be responded with a sinister chuckle from behind. As I turned around, I witnessed what entity had been causing the blackouts, her appearance was strange and unsettling. Her hair was long and dark like the void that surrounded us, she had exotic skin and an ancient white dress with a black corset around her waist, and puffy shoulder sleeves. However, what was unsettling about her appearance was her pitch-black eyes with deep red at the center, and her elbows down were all black with long sharp nail-like claws, her feet were the same. This was Vice.Afterward
After what seemed like decades, maybe centuries, since Vice's appearance, I have been able to communicate with her more. We came to a somewhat compromise, I told her she could take control whenever she wanted for an hour, but she could not kill anyone. In exchange, she has agreed to let me use her ability to manipulate matter at my will and provide protection from those who have hunted me down for this extraordinary ability. I think I'm now over 170 years old, I sometimes lose count, I have watched society enter the modern age, and I find it quite fascinating. There are so many unique individuals who all have different dreams and passions, I had to adapt to these new standards. I have fallen in love with many new things that this society has offered, so many bright and beautiful colors, Purple and Black are my favorite. I have also loved the more Gothic attire when it comes to how I dress, along with darker aesthetics, I guess that's just from being in the dark most of this life. I have somehow blended in with society, I guess with so many individuals who all dress differently, and sometimes oddly, people tend to ignore me. I have grown fond of today's technology, especially video games, it's nothing like back in the 1800s, it's honestly the only way I can socialize with society without risking harm to others. I fell in love with streaming, it's the best way I can talk to others in real-time and engage in conversations, and playing games along with that, it's a bonus. Jumping into now, I guess there isn't much to say, I continue living in the shadows with only Vice and the moon as my company, probably for another several decades. Until then, I do not know what’s in store for me…What Now..?
