Italy, 1384 

 

 

"My dear sister, I have brought someone who will be able to cure you." Lucio stood by her bed. She nodded and coughed , a small splat of blood excreted from her mouth to her hand. 

 

Lucio opened the door and in walked her lover, Elijah. "Lucia, you do not have much time. I can take your pain away and make sure it never comes back." Elijah stroked her hair. 

 

"Are you going to change me into the same monster you are?" Lucia asked bitterly.  

 

"I'm helping you. How does a life as an immortal sound? It brings a whole new meaning to 'forever.' You are running out of time."  

 

"Fine." She hacked and wheezed. Elijah bit into his wrist to draw blood and placed it over her fine, pale lips.  

 

Lucia started to lap up the blood, it was disgusting. The thought that she will soon find the taste of blood pleasurable sickening. Will it taste differently?  

 

Elijah removed his hand from her mouth and grabbed a item wrapped up in a piece of cloth. "You may want to leave the room for this." He said to Lucio.  

 

"I will not. I stand by my sister's side through life and death." Lucio was astonished by what was happening before him but stood his ground. Elijah unwrapped a dagger and held it and couple inches above Lucia's heart. 

 

He brought the knife down and it pierced through her skin and arteries. "Sorella!" Lucio yelled and grabbed his twin sisters face. It was already cold. "I ought to kill you!" He threatened Elijah.  

 

"She'll waken soon. I need to go and find her food. Stay away from her for a couple hours. When she wakes up she'll be hungry. To my knowledge you're the only source of blood for a mile." Elijah wrapped up the weapon and placed it on the bedside table. 

 

"Blood? What did you do to her?" 

 

"I made her an extraordinary creature. She'll never die, nor age. Her beauty will be preserved forever. But beauty comes with a price. She will crave blood, she won't be able to help it. It takes a large amount if self control. But I'll help her do it. I changed her into what is commonly known as a vampire." 

 

"Why? My father hunts those things. He'll kill her." Lucio took Lucia's hand. 

 

"She should be strong enough to fend him off." Elijah twisted the doorknob. "I must find her a human to feed off of. I'll be back."  

 

 

--- 

 

 

Lucio paced back and forth in the small kitchen until he heard the door creak open. 

 

"Sorella?" He called out. 

 

"Fratella." Lucia responded. 

 

"How do you feel?" Lucia looked up at her brother. Her eyes turned black and purple veins were visible. 

 

"Hungry." 

 

 

 

 

 

 

[a/n] just to let you know 'Sorella' and 'fratella' mean sister and brother in Italian for those who don't know. Just want to tell you because it will say it quite a few times in the story. ❤️
