Forever Lost (Forever 1)

Chapter 1 - Gone - Selneeva

 

I come to a halt at the edge of the deep evergreen woods. Surrounded by the darkness I watch the small town wilst they cannot see me. I like it; The hidden feeling. The loneliness that cannot touch me. For I am a creature of darkness. A vampire.

My memories of the time before are all but obliterated. My feelings-nonexistent. My thoughts a mob of darkness. This is what I have become.

I do not regret what I have become, for my choice, was a choice of power. It was the right choice, I know. For where would I be if I had chosen otherwise? Downgraded. Unwanted by my own society. Certainly not where I am now. For I am a queen. Queen of the vampires, I need no king.

Queen of my beloved city. Viva I have named it. Meaning 'long live' in Italian. For every Queen gets to name their city and it's placement. Viva is a moving city. One year in Germany, two in Spain. I like to travel and where I go the city follows.

This year I've chosen America. I like the countries strength and have decided to stay longer then usual. Maybe four years even. Never more then five. For it is a changing world and we must keep up. And though I may stay in the same country I will only stay in a town for a period of months. I do not trust the ignaro. Ignaro meaning humans. Ignaro meaning oblivious in the beloved Italian language.

Oh how I love the Italian language. It is probably the most flawless of them all. The words flow smoothly through my lips without my thinking. It is not my original language, though it could easily be mistaken as.

My original language was German. I am fifty years of age though I still look like the ignaro I once was. My council and I estimate I was a fifteen year old ignaro. Changed in about the middle of World War Two.

Adolph was a powerful man. A man I knew as Canlick. The man I knew as a friend. The man that made me a vampire.
