The Forbidden

chapter 1 - the beginning

Alice Andilet

Touching the calming cold lake through my hand as I move my hand across the water was only the soothing moment that it revived my deepest memories through darkness. I only looked up to see such a majestic scenery where I see the deep bluest water reflect the suns shinning rays, with the flowers and every living thing bloom with its showing beauty as the sun hits them with the rays.

It is quite relaxing by only just admiring the beauty of nature, but what bothers me more by thinking about it is the arranged marriage that my parents set me up to someone I haven't known in my life, I already received a horrific feelings that I can't described it as..I already met him once when my parents and his were talking about marriages due to my family only being the richest, but when looking at him, he made my skin crawl even more and he only talked about how far more he cares about money.

I could already tell he came only for greed and only over talked me when I tried complimenting him, it was quite annoying for him to treat me as I was no one but when he finally looked at me. He acted a whole new personality, I only knew this because he only cared about the beauty of women, not the kindness or behavior, I despise his personality already.

That's how I met William Johnson, A business partner with commonly most known richest man in town and obviously he worked in bank which that's where he get his greed from. As for me, my family were mostly known because my father was part of sherrif and because our own family's business which became successful overtime. I haven't had any difficulties during my life or childhood, except many of my friends dissapearing after their marriage, I always assumed that they already moved on with life so why should I bother anymore.

There was this old tale across the lake that there was an abandoned building who live a young man who was cursed by the devil himself and at night you might be cursed just by admiring the looks of the man not knowing you will experience torture for the rest of your life without escaping, it has been confirmed that the town hears the cries of the victims who fall in the hands of the devil and those monsters are called Nosferatu as well known as vampires. My parents say to never go across the lake at night or at all because I might as well never come back to see the day of light ever again. Not only them but everyone agreed that their love ones has been missing for the past few years, it feels so upsetting to hear that the love ones are trapped forever being tortured.

Well as for someone who has deepness of curiosity I really hoped someday I get to at least see the building that everyone keeps talking about. I always imagined what did the monster looked like that the vampire was described handsome, I had so many questions about the vampire. I asked many people in the village of what did they look like I only received mixed answers that it had pale skin with pitch black eyes, some even said it had very long nails, sharp teeth and had a horrifying looks if you look at it again. Of course I was disturbed only receiving the answer of the features but I was quite more far more interested in vampires after learning it from them, I only wish to meet one day.
