Finding Forever (R. Hale)

prologue.

TW: slight mention of suicide

I was born into a family that adored me in 1342 BC.
I was younger than my brother by 2 years, but we were always close. That is until he disappeared. The worst part is he never said goodbye. And with him disappeared every piece of me worth cherishing. I couldn't leave my house or eat. All i felt was pain until i felt...nothing.

There's something hopeful to the feeling of numbness. It means you don't have to hurt. It also meant I could leave the house and get my parents to leave me be. Well that's what I was doing when I died. Walking by a river bank in Greece when I was pushed into the water and attacked. Then, the pain came rushing back in. And no matter how much i tried and hoped to be numb again this time it wouldn't go away.

I died in 1362 BC..well died in a way. You see I'm a vampire. A bloodsucking, red-eyed, skin glittering in the sun vampire, and I've been on my own since 1362 BC and its now 1993 AD.

I wish I wasn't alone...but every time i'm around other people since my brother died it hurts. I don't want to be left alone again. So, instead i let my non-beating heart ache with the dull pain of loneliness.

Now care to guess what i'm doing now? No? Well I'll tell you anyway. I'm roaming through Italy. You see I'm tired of living. So I'm going to the one place I've heard to help me die. The Volturi. But before that let me spare the boring details of what I'm doing in this very moment.

Currently I am roaming through a small town just outside of Venice. It's in the country side. Far enough away from Volterra for me to have a more peaceful death if you will. You see I'm looking for a meal. A tall, tan, man meal. I don't prefer to kill women seeing as I love women, or as modern people would call it gay.

Ah yes I see the meal now, in the distance of course. Tall...check. Tan...not check he actually looks quite pale. Man...check. Oh he's coming towards me. How unfortunate.

"Hi stranger" I shout towards the mystery man. He's looking at me intently now. Oh this will be fun. Wait... what is he doing. Did he just growl?

He's suddenly in front of me and it's clear this is no human. It's another red-eyed bloodsucker like me and he's in a cloak with the volturi crest. What a great first impression.

"You do know you're extremely close to Volterra yes?" he asks with a deep ass voice

"I actually didn't. I thought I was farther I guess." I state with my snarky smile.

"Well it looks like we'll have to go see the kings huh?"

And cue the sigh. Just great. I wanted a peaceful meal and death and now this gigantic dude is ruining it. And now he's picking me up and running with me. What the fuck. Can't I catch a break? I guess my death by the Volturi is coming much sooner than i planned.

and theres the prologue!! I know its short but its not a chapter so its just gonna have to be dealt with. ANYWAYS let me know how you liked it so far!!
