The Vampire: The Life of Katherine

Chapter 23

April 15th 1999

Santa Monica California, the moment Amon leaves the library everyone stares at Amy. Stephen looks at the book that Amon was looking at, and it was a book about Vlad's Childer.

"What you got there T-man?" Callum asked.

"Please don't call me that, and it's a book about Vlad's Childer this section here is about Pulchra Daemonium, which means beautiful demon in Latin and the name for Amy." He says and spins the book on the table to shows them, there's an illustrated drawing of her from the early 1700s.

"That's a gorgeous dress on you Amy." Kimberly compliments her.

"Thanks Kim. I only wore that dress the once as it was really uncomfortable, and I posed for over an hour in that dress." Amy tells her. Kimberly just nods.

"Why was you called Pulchra Daemonium?" Angela asked, Amy just sat down with her head in her hands.

"I honestly couldn't tell you as my main victims where cheating men." She says to her.

"That doesn't sound so bad." Kimberly states trying to defend her friend.

"Miss Simmons, trust me. Amy is one of the worst recorded vampires in history." Stephen tells her.

"Stephen, I know what I did, and I hate myself for it, I'm not her anymore." She says as she has fresh tears in her eyes, he goes round and wraps her in his arms.

"I'm sorry Amy, you know me, I was just stating facts. I'm sorry if I upset you my dear." He says to her.

"You did tell Talon that Pulchra Daemonium was ranked third and by this book I'm starting to believe you." Jeffrey states as he looks over Kimberley's shoulder to look at the book.

Kimberly shuts the book and puts it back on the table. Amy wipes her eyes.

"It's fine, they are my crimes, and I've been human for over 150 years. My husband gave me the cure in 1831 I never took it until 1841." She tells them. Callum raised his hand.

"Two questions. Why wait so long and your married?" He asked completely shocked with the information that he's been told, as he thought he might've had a shot with her before he got his head out of his ass and so Angela more than his pretty friend.

"I was married up until 2 years ago, he left me as he thought he was holding me back." She says, and they can hear the sadness in her voice, gone was the valley girl accent and her actual accent comes out, it was like a different person was talking to them.

"It took me 10 years because I didn't want it as I loved being a vampire and I felt like I was betraying my father, who as you can see I love him very much, but then I so a family and I couldn't bring myself to kill them, as I wanted what they had, so I went home and took the cure. I couldn't cope with the guilt, it took me until 1859 to end it, I stood and waited for the sun as I was going to jump off the cliffs of Cornwall, I told Zachariel goodbye, but he descended from the heavens and caught me as I jumped, and he helped me with the pain that Pulchra Daemonium did." She tells them, tears fall from her eyes at the memory, she just leans into Stephen.

He kisses the top of her head, he has a father's love for Amy and her friends he'd lay down his life for any one of them, and he believes that they would for him.

"Do you mean the Archangel Zachariel?" Stephen asked.

"Yes. We were very happy together. We have two daughters together Natalie and Nicole. The personality that you so from me is actually my granddaughter Hayley." Amy tells him.

"So the woman and the man who came on parents night who was they?" Angela asked her.

"That was my daughter Natalie and her husband David, he's a high ranking detective for San Francisco PD." she tells her friend.
