Vampire Reign

The Story of Alice Himura

The year was 2016, it began like any other year, but toward the middle of June, a terrible virus broke out. This virus affected any living creature above the age of 18. My parents, grandparents, aunts, and uncles had passed since they were above the age of 18. I am the oldest survivor of my family. The children and teens below that age were enslaved by the supernatural intruders that rose out of their coffins in the ground. I was taken to an orphanage along with my twin brother, Sebastian. Sebby, which is the nickname I gave him, was a weak and sickly child, and he tended to get hurt a lot. In contrast, I was way stronger, but these intruders had much more strength than I, or any other living creature, had. These intruders are what my mother and father called "bloodsuckers", but I found out what they really were...Vampires...

~2 years later~

"Ali! Ali!" Sebby yelled, as he ran toward me. I look up from the book I was reading. "Hmm?" I said. My brother was carrying a fairly big book that I had never seen before. "I found this book in the orphanage's library, it's written in a very strange language, and I can't read it, so can you look at it? You always had an amazing ability to read different languages." he said. I looked at the book and studied the strange language it was written in. "This language seems to be an ancient form of Romanian." I said. "Romanian?" Sebby questioned. I nod. I study the book a bit more and attempt to roughly read the first part of the book. "Dragā Jurnal: Planul a fost un success complet! Oamenii mai în vârstā au fost eliminate, iar puii au fost, în cea mai mare parte, supus vointei rasei vampir. Sunt încrezātor cā micul meu scalv, Alice, mā va har cu prezenta ei în anii urmātori. Ea este un astfel de copil iubitor si sângele ei este absolut delicioase. Sunt, de asemenea, încrezātor ca sfidarea pe care unii dintre copii display-ul va scadea lent, dar constant pe māsurā ce trece timpul. Singurul sfat pe care îl pot oferi acestor copii este "Taci din gurā, Submit si Dā-ne vampire sângele Crimson pe care le dorim. Intotdeauna loial, Lordul Mikaela Freed." I said. "What does all that mean, Ali? Can you translate it so I can understand it?" Sebby asked. I nod. "It says: "Dear Diary: The plan was a complete success! The older humans have been disposed of and the youngsters have, for the most part, submitted to the will of the vampire race. I am confident that my little slave, Alice, will grace me with her presence for years to come. She's such a loving child and her blood is absolutely delectable. I look forward to seeing her tonight. I am also confident that the defiance that some of the children display will slowly, but steadily decrease as time passes. The only advice that I can provide to these children is "Shut up, Submit, and Give us Vampires the crimson blood that we desire. Always loyal, Lord Mikaela Freed"." I read. "Wait, Ali, that entry in that diary, it mentioned your name. You didn't submit and give that vampire a taste of your blood, did you?!" Sebby said. "Of course not, Sebby, I've vowed to eliminate the bloodsuckers, for the sake of humanity." I said. "Don't lie to me, Sister, that vampire's diary entry said that your blood was delectable. Not to mention, you are always gone for hours every night, so how do you explain that?" he said. Crap, I've been figured out. I thought. "Well, explain to me, Sister, where do you go at night?" he asked. "Fine, Brother, you figured me out, I did give Lord Freed my blood, but I get whatever I want for it." I said. "I knew it! You gave in to the bloodsuckers! I knew you were acting strange." he said. I stand up from the small table and walk toward the door of the house. "Where are you going?" Sebby asked, furiously. "What do you care, I'm leaving, and that's all you need to know." I yelled before slamming the door.

Geeze, what the heck is wrong with him? I can give my blood to Lord Freed if I want to. I thought. I slowly walk down the dark street, when I notice some of the vampires walking toward me. "Where are you going so late, child?" one of the vampires said. "I-I uh..." I said. The other vampire grabbed me by the arm. "L-Let go of me!" I yelled. I struggled against the vampire, trying to break free of his grasp. "S-Someone, help me!" I yelled. Tears streamed down my face. Both of the vampires laughed at my misery. "What is going on here?" a male's voice said. That voice... I thought. "Ali?! Are you okay?" the man asked. "L-Lord Freed...w-why are you h-here?" I asked between sobs. "I heard you yell, so I came to save you." he said. He turned his gaze toward the two vampires who had, now, let go of my arm. His gaze was cold and stern. "Get lost, if you don't you will regret it, this child is mine." he said while bearing his fangs. The vampires turned and ran away, and when he was sure that they were gone, Lord Freed turned his attention back to me. "Ali, why did you come out here alone, you know it's dangerous on the streets at night." Mikaela said. I continued to cry. "My brother and I had a fight, and I stormed out of the house without thinking about the time. I thought that I would try to find you and ask you if I could stay with you, at least until this whole fight has blown over." I said. His gaze softened. "You should know by now that you are more than welcome to stay with me at my mansion, Ali. You do not need to ask for my permission to come stay with me. The only payment that I need from you is your delectable blood. That is all I ask of you." he said. "I am aware of that, my lord, but I was raised to ask for people's permission before showing up at their house out of the blue." I said. I tilt my head to the side to show my neck. "You needn't ask me for permission to drink my blood either, my lord, I belong to you now and forever." I said. He smiled and walked toward me, still bearing his fangs. I felt his fangs pierce my neck and instead of screaming in pain, I just let him enjoy the taste of my blood. After a while, he stopped drinking my blood and wrapped his coat around me. "Ali, I would like you to remain by my side forever." he said. "Of course, my lord." I said, while looking him straight in the eyes. "I don't think you understand me, Ali. I'm asking you if you're willing to become a creature of the night that is only able to survive by drinking the blood of the living." he said. I gasp, but the thought had crossed my mind numerous times before, I mean, I am 12 years old, and I won't live forever. If I were a vampire, I could supply Lord Freed with all the blood he desired, because I too would be drinking blood of the living. "I will become a vampire, only if I can stay with you for all eternity, Lord Freed. I will supply you with fresh blood every day and I will forever be your servant." I said. He smiled. "Ali, I do not want you to be my servant forever. If I turn you into one of us vampires, you will be taking on a bigger role in my life, you will become my lover for the rest of your eternity. You will forever be bound to me, and you will not be able to return to the life that you had as a human being. I will protect you, and teach you all that you need to know about being a vampire, such as how to hunt for food, how to quench your thirst for blood, and when an appropriate time to bear your fangs is." he said. Lover? Is he crazy, there is no way that the other vampires will accept me being his lover. But he seems like he is super desperate for me to be with him for all eternity. I do not want him to be alone for the rest of eternity. I thought. "Ali, what is your answer." he questioned. I smiled sincerely. "I accept the terms of your proposal, my lord. I would like to become a vampire like you, and stay by your side for the rest of eternity, as your vampire lover." I said. "Excellent, Ali. We shall begin the transformation immediately. Also you no longer have to be so formal with me, we are going to be lovers, so you can call me Mikaela, okay?" he said. "O-Okay, M-Mikaela." I said. "You're so cute, my little soon-to-be vampire child." he said. I blushed. "That blush just makes you all the more cute, Ali." he said. I blush even redder than I was. "M-Mikaela, wh-what are you saying all of a sudden?!" I said. Mikaela laughed. I stared at him with a dark blush on my face. He turns and locks eyes with me. I quickly look away, embarrassed. "Ali, are you okay?" he asked, as he came up behind me. I jumped. I didn't expect him to be so close to me. "Y-Yeah, I'm fine, Mikaela. Just a bit distracted." I said. He leaned closer to my neck. I could feel his cold breath on the nape of my neck. The feel of his breath on my neck sent a shiver down my spine. "What is my little princess distracted about? Tell me in detail." he said, before blowing on the nape of my neck then lightly nipping it. I wince at the sudden bite on my neck, but something in my mind told me that everything was going to be alright as long as I stayed close to Mikaela. What is he doing? I just told him that I was willing to become his vampire lover, so why does he care if I'm distracted? I thought. "Ali, you never did answer my question. Why are you so distracted?" he asked. I can't bring myself to look at him directly. But he will not give up until he figures out why I'm so distracted. At any rate, what will Sebby think if I come home as a vampire. Wait, why do I even care, he is the reason I'm in this situation anyway. I just told him that I would give my blood to Mikaela if I wanted to, but he had to go and get super angry at me, and as a result this is what he deserves. I thought. "I was just thinking what my younger twin brother, Sebastian, would think if I came home as a vampire." I said, while still avoiding eye contact with Mikaela. He blew on my neck again, then bit down a bit harder than he had before. This bite was hard enough to draw some blood. He lapped up the crimson liquid that was running down the nape of my neck. Each stroke of his tongue sent shivers down my spine, but I would not allow him to continue this for much longer. I attempted to move away from him, but he just pulled my back toward him. "Why are you trying to escape me, Ali?" he said. He suddenly took my chin in his hands, and forced me to look at him. Even with his hands holding my face toward him, I refused to keep eye contact with him. "I-I'm just a bit nervous, Mika. But I trust you, so I will be alright." I said.
