430 AD

My crying and screaming could be heard from down a hall in a large house. The torture taking place was unbelievable, no one too help me....these religious bastards say I am supposed to be something special, that I am supposed to go through all of this pain to bring out whatever it is about me, that I am unsure what they are trying to find.
By looking at me you'd think I was the living dead, a monster....

Sometimes I can feel something inside me, it creates such a state of confusion for me, it feels amazing and strong like I could just unleash such power and these torturers will just die and I would be free again and other times it feel like evil that brings nothing but carnage and pain to all around me, it makes my eyes burn and my bones ache, when the torment is finished for how ever long I see that power inside me, it must be a hallucination a...a..a nightmare while I am awake.

I am so scared all the time...will someone ever help me and release me from this ailment that is life.

Some time in the hot summer solstice

I have been reserving my strength while they have left me be this has been the longest time I've been able to walk freely about this area, I can't remember the last time I was allowed to do this.
It is night time but at least I am by myself for once but I fear something terrible is about to happen to me, I fear my tormentors are going to do possibly the worst they've done to me yet...a test of some kind or maybe they'll finally Just kill me.

I am taken out of my thoughts by something speeding by me almost knocking me over,
"Hello??..." I say quickly grabbing a weapon In case I must defend myself. I look to where i think is watching me crouching down waiting to strike, I lit my weapon a light...perhaps fire will scare it away. "Be gone beastly being, I have endured much torture, I doubt you can do anything to me I haven't felt already" I say creeping closer to the beast as I've decided to not fear it as I may be about to die.

"Be still human...I mean no harm to you, not anymore..." I hear it speak from the left of me as it sat on what I was sat on just moments ago, I turned to it and faked attack it and jabbed near it with my fire stick...it didn't move just appeared closer and hit my fire stick away from my grasp, my legs gave out at the sudden action so I tried crawling as fast I could to it and I caught it and stood up though my legs have little strength left....I felt it start, my eyes burning....

"What are you? You look human..." it spoke but I interrupted it, "so do you yet you move faster than any I've seen, though I haven't seen many outside this area, how is it you are here? Are you to free me?" I rambled nervously but tired to show confidence. It...well he moved closer to me and caught my weakening body, he pulled me to a tree not far from us and stroked my cheek gently, my eyes watered as my eyes stung
"Make it stop...m..make it stop" I begged, I can usually make it stop but it's not working.

"You are some creature not human but you smell of one, your eyes glow like stars my child , so strange but I shall release you from your torment...you need not fear that....I will teach you all I know, give you what you cherish...life" he spoke as I looked at him
I was in so much pain, "tell me young one do you want life, will you walk with me in the night?" He asks, I nod and next thing I know he bites into my neck and my blood was being drained in mere seconds, heart beat getting faint. "Now my child drink and you can start this life" he say holding his wrist to my mouth
And I drank what I assume is his blood...strange but it tasted like life itself ...sweet so sweet...

The burning in my eyes stopped hurting and felt peaceful....I can feel it now what's inside me...it's complete.

930 AD

I sat watching a battle go on in Sweden...Vikings fighting for territory I think, we feed on the last ones in the battle field, so many battles and raids from these Northman, godric is anxious to make another progeny, I told him I would like a brother....something takes me from my thoughts when I see this large blonde viking, how he fights...his command and strength...it's him.

"Godric...I found him, he's perfect.." I whispered in the night air and soon he was by me, "it is dangerous for you to be alone, that group has continued and grown...they may have weakness for what you are, I will not loose my child..." he says then looks at the last embers of a battle, "which...oh I see him, my child I will make you a brother, he is beautiful.." but just as he said it, the beautiful man was struck down with such a blow you would of thought he died on the where he stood. "Save him godric" I almost screamed, godric held me still as best he could, I was about to use what is inside me.... " as your maker I command to wait here until I bring him too us, you will put us to ground when I change him" he commands me. "Yes maker" I say while he disappears.

~end of the battle~

I fed on three Vikings and two from their enemies, I heard godric behind me, "who is she?" I heard the Viking speak, I turn around and I still had blood all over my mouth, I smile and approach them both. "Godric he will be great but I must ask you now...release me as you have another child now" "NO!!!" he yells which caused the Viking to jump from Godric's grip, I tripped him into hole I dug for the two of them, I then jumped down to him and I was going to glamour him to forget me as he is still very human right now... 'not yet...you will fight by his side when it is right...not yet' I heard the power in my speak, godric jumped down and through me out. "You are to precious and valuable to me to be released, now bury us and guard us" Godric ordered, I jumped back down to the Viking and held him by his jaw to look at me. "I am nothing but a ghost in the corner of your eye until I tell you different, you will think it odd that godric is taking to someone not there but never bring it up, understood young one" I say and he frightened shook his head yes.

I then kissed him and let him go, "why you..." Godric began "he can not know me yet, keep me a secret from him and others you make, do this and I will never ask for release again, now I will bury and guard you two" I say while my eyes glowed green, he said nothing more and lay down with the Viking.
I hate it when that part of me comes out, it just makes things ugly between my maker and me, I will try control it better, it's been 500 years and I still can't get my grip on it, I can feel it boiling at the bottom of a pit in my stomach, I hear it buzzing in my back of my head.

"I'm sorry godric.." I say as I throw the last clump of dirt on the hole my maker and new sibling are sleeping in, all under a tree no less like when I was made a vampire too....buried under a tree of life.
