I was brushing my hair when someone knocked. "Come in." I heard the door open and someone say "So the little assassin returns. Who did you kill now, a king, a pope?" I turn around. "Darius!" I run to him and jump into his arms. "Hey little sis, how are you doing?" he says and kisses my forehead. I step back and looked into his dark red eyes.
Darius is my big and only brother. He is 24 in human years and 10 in vampire years. He has short, light brown hair and pale skin. We mean the world to each other. When I changed I couldn't see him. I mean first of all I was an uncontrolled vampire so I could easily kill him. Also if he saw what I was, he could have killed me or exposed this secret out to the world. He was so worried. At night I would look at him through the window. I felt so bad. He was in pain. I would see him toss and turn in his bed, sweating. Sometimes he screamed my name.
Our parents died when I was 10. Darius was 17. He was the only one to take care of us. He used the money we inherited from our parents to feed both of us. He also got a job. Darius did everything for me to make my life normal. Of course my life isn't normal. After several months Nicarus allowed me to change him. I was strong. I could control my thirst.
I had knocked on his door on a Thursday afternoon. He couldn't believe it was me. We hugged but I got right to the point. I told him what I had become. He looked frightened at first but then relaxed. I asked him after he was changed and he said it was because I was still me. Not some crazy person. Anyway he agreed and I changed him.
To change someone into a vampire, the vampire has to drink the human until they are almost empty of blood. We vampires, then have to cut ourselves and let the human drink our blood. It was very painful for both of us. Once the human is full of vampire blood, the human will start to change. That was the painful part for Darius. It was painful for me to watch. It all takes about 5 minutes. When Darious was a full vampire I had to find him someone to drink.
He was so happy that we were together. I introduced him to Nicarus and showed him how to be a vampire. Soon he wanted to change his girlfriend. Nicarus allowed him to do so but he accidentally killed her. He was sad and was determined to get stronger. Instead of being an assassin Nicarus gave him a job of messenger. So whenever Nicarus has some news for us assassins Darius will go out, find us and tell us our message. Its quite handy since vampires are fast. We get our messages pretty quickly.
The bad part about all of this is he doesn't understand my way of life. He eats like all the others. Which has worried me.
"Whoa.." he said "you look paler." "Oh shut up, you know I look exactly the same." He laughed and hugged me again with his chin over my head. I inhaled and sighed. Darius had a comforting scent. He smelled like all the places he traveled. He smelled like home.
I felt his head turn to the left. "Great what did you do now." I turned my head to the left as well and saw my clothes. "Ummm I jumped into a river." He pulled me back and looked into my bright red eyes. "Why did you jump into a river?" I rolled my eyes and said "Because I was running away from some guards." He gave me his serious look. I laughed "Like you would care anyway. I'm indestructable." I waved my hands around my body. He laughed "I know, I just like to know what happened on your journey." He looked back at my suit. "And you usually don't get your clothes wet." I rolled my eyes again.
He saw that and threw me onto my bed. "Hey you don't have to do that. I'm not a child anymore." I saw he had moved near my suit. "Well sometimes you act like one." I stuck my tounge out at him. His expression changed into a surprised look and he said "There, right there sticking your tounge out at your elders is childish." "Your an elder." I laughed. He ran to me, picked me up, ran back to the door and threw me onto my bed again. "Oh and thats not childish?" I questioned him. He was stumped. He finally said "Alright you win." He raised his hands up. I laughed.
"Anyways do you want me to dry your clothes for you its windy today?" If our clothes got wet we dried them outside. It was a slow process. I wish there would be a faster way to dry clothes. "Yeah sure i'll come with you." I closed my window and started walking towards him. He already had my suit slung around his arm. "Hey you need a sweater." I stared at him in disbelief. "I don't need a sweater i'm a vampire remember. I can't feel heat or coolness." "Yeah but i'm wearing one and we should match. Besides I am your parent so you should do what I tell you to do." "Fine." I grabbed a gray sweater out of my walk in closet and walked over to Darius.
We were just out the door when we bumped into Nicarus. "Oh, hi sorry Nicarus we didn't mean to bump into you. Me and Rosa are going out to dry her assassin clothes." Nicarus's dark eyes moved toward my black suit and back up to Darius's eyes. "I'm sorry, but Rosa," he looked at me "you have another assignment." He handed me a light brown folder. "I'm sorry Mr.Arriv but you'll have to do this alone." "Quite alright sir." He looked at me. "I'll talk to you later." I waved as he walked away.
I noticed that Nicarus was still here. I looked up at him "Yes." He stared at me, like he was trying to find something, but what? "This man" he tapped the folder "will be heavily guarded. You need to figure out where to strike. A friend of mine, Giovanni, can help you." He place his pale bony hand on my right shoulder. "I'm counting on you. You are my best assassin yet." "Yes of course this will be easy." I waved the folder. "Good." he kissed both of my cheeks. "Find me when you are ready." He walked away.
I walked into my room and closed the door. I sat at my dark wood desk.I opened the folder and started reading about my next target.
