Warning: mentions of death (none is depicted), angsty (like a lot)


"There is no hope.."

The shouting of towns folk, the clashing of swords nearby, and the shallow footsteps of the executioner.  My hands were tied to the large post, hay and sticks set up below my feet. A tear slipped from my eye. I looked up to the sky, praying to god that one of his messengers would come and save me.

"Kill her!"

"Mark the end of her sins!"

So many shouted such cruel names but being taken from my home, my family, my friends, my peers, felt like a million knives inside my chest. I pray to god or anyone who might be listening, that my brother, Pierre, shall be safe.

"Set her ablaze!"

"Sinner sinner!"

The heavy footsteps of the man wearing all dark clothing walked up to the post I was tied on, surrounded by hay. The man held a torch, raising it up high in the sky "Dear lord," he started "Tonight we burn this witch, this sinner, to the ground in your name! She has committed many crimes, and she shall pay for them.".

He continued his speech but I blocked it out. I didn't care anymore, I was going to die anyway nothing I do will help anything. How could so many be so arrogant, may they burn in the depths of hell. The man finished his speech and I closed my eyes, tears slipping from my eyes.

A few moments later I heard a thud come from beside me. The next thing I know, I'm surrounded by hot flames. Tears streamed down my eyes and didn't stop. I felt a sharp pain in my right eye before the seering pain spread throughout the right side of my face. A stray ember made it to my face I guess.

The fact that tears continued to come didnt help the pain. But again, it hurts more in my chest then face. I looked up to the sky screaming "Jesus! Jesus! Jesus!" over and over before my throat was raw. 

The lord and savior wasn't coming...

Then I saw a bright light and shouting but it all went dark. I thought it was the end, that I was in hell. But I awoke to someone looking down at me "G-God?" I asked in a hoarse and raspy voice, slightly trembling too. 

My eyes fully adjusted to my surroundings. The village was empty and the villagers were no where to be seen. I looked at the man in front of me. He had a worried look on his face. He was blond wearing... a nobleman's cloak?

"would you want a taste of eternity? Live to serve the world and protect?" My vision was waning, it became spotted. "You don't have much time, please choose." I nodded my head as a sound would not come out of my mouth.

I felt a prick at my collarbone before it all went dark...

....

I woke up on a soft surface, a dim candle next to me. My head was pounding. I went to touch my right eye but felt bandages and cloth around it. "Thank goodness you're awake." I looked up to see the man I saw earlier...I thought it was a dream.

My stomach was aching and I needed food but something didn't feel right. "I bet your hungry, here drink this." The man reached into his pocket and pulled out a medium glass vile with white liquid inside (i know what your dirty mind is thinking about STOP-). He handed it to me and I took it. I opened the vile and drank the liquid. It tasted sweet but had a bitter after taste.

"It's called blanc, it's a substitute for rogue." I looked up at him in confusion, what did he mean by 'rogue'? He sighs before he explains "When I asked if you would like a taste of eternity, it meant that I turn you... into a vampire."

My eyes widened "Y-you mean those blood-sucking monsters?!". The man nodded with a grave look painted all across his face. A few tears pricked in my eyes "I-I'm a... Monster?" I trembled. "I shall give you space..". The man left the room, leaving me to think what I am and what I can do.

"Dear lord, I have no right to pray to you but... I don't know what to do, what is my purpose?" I tore off the cloth and bandages covering my eye and looked into a mirror. I am a monster and look like a monster.

I dropped to my knees, whimpering and sobbing loudly while covering my face until my voice was raw. I failed... I shouldn't have the right to go on living. I could kill people. Forgive me god, for I have sinned. I hate that.. man. I hate myself.

I am a monster.
