                It’s been 2 years since I learned I was a vampire.  I have separated myself from the world, Vlad, Natalia, My family and friends…I know I shouldn’t be mad or upset because he did it because he loved me but sometimes it’s just so hard to comprehend that I, Claire, am now a vampire.  After what he had done to me there was a huge explosion…There was smoke, so much smoke.  I felt his fingers slip out of mine, the taste of blood and soot on my tongue.  I thought one of my limbs had been blown off by the time I woke up I was under piles of stone and I had gotten up and Seany was missing a finger but instead of letting her die I dragged her to a safe area I know nothing would happen to her.  Charlie and Vlad were nowhere to be seen.  I sat with Seany until she had woke up, she was frantic and scared but I had managed to calm her down and get her to walk with me until I could get to a small farm house.  I checked in the windows, it was an old, smelly house but it would do.  I kicked open the door but not hard enough to damage the door and dragged her inside with me.  After that I had tended to her hand where her middle finger and forefinger had been blown off and stopped the bleeding that she was still experiencing.

                “Why do you always write in the stupid journal?  I know what you’re writing hun and I don’t think it’s healthy…He could be…I don’t know but I think you should stop Claire.”  Seany said.  She’s been on my back every time I picked up my journal or my sketchpad.  But as you can catch I am now living with Seany, we have no idea where Vlad or Charlie are or if they are ok.  Months after the explosion happened and we lost Vlad and Charlie, we had heard people coming towards the cabin which was uncomprehend able to us because it was so set back in the woods that without a heightened sense of smell or knowing where the cabin was, they would have never known where the cabin was.  Seany and I had run to the master bedroom and waited.  At around 5 o’clock we had been sitting there for hours but Seany had snapped.  She had snarled as I tried to hold her back but she’d ripped free from my grasp and ran to the 3 men that come into the cabin, if there was any hope of them knowing where Vlad or Charlie were it was taken away as fast as she had ripped out their throats.  While the scent of blood had filled my nostrils I ripped the door off of its hinges and “dug in” as you would say. 

                The memories of what had happened still haunt me today…”Don’t you even miss Charlie?  Wonder if he’s ok or where he is?  If he’s in pain even?”  I asked completely enraged.  She had just scoffed at me and continued to apply her makeup on.  She was sporting a green velvet gown with a swoop neck and a missing back, it bunched around her slender legs and she had green 5-inch stiletto heels on.  She was applying a vibrant red lipstick and a smokey-eye with a thick application of black cat eyeliner.  “Are you almost done or what?  I’d like to not miss the party and you have to come also so please hurry up I really don’t want to miss the first masquerade of the year either.”  She said with just a drip of annoyance.  We had all been assigned a color by Seany’s best friend Samantha, the party we were attending was hers.  I was in a deep purple floor length ball gown; it was a classic Victorian dress and it was gorgeous but I did not feel like going anywhere.  “Yeah, I’m going just give me a sec, I have to do my hair.”  I pulled it up into a loose Chignon knot and came back out.  “I’m ready now.”  I said to Seany. 

                A 20 minutes cab ride later and we were at the Boston Hotel stepping out with our masks on.  I looked around and saw thousands of smiling beautiful faces; I went inside of the hotel quite quickly, not being able to stand their perfect, happy faces.  I walked into the large, golden foyer; it was lined with tapestries of Gold, Green, Burgundy, Royal Purple, Navy Blue, Orange, and Black.  It was so lovely in here, I thought as we walked into the room, we looked at each other and headed down into the middle of the chaos.  There were bodies gyrating around, people standing by the punch bowl talking to each other, people staring as we walked through the widening gap of warm blooded bodies.   I smiled at a cute young male, he looked to be about 17 and looked away quickly, he was probably a nephilim, and of course they never really liked us anyway.  I continued to walk until I had gotten to the end of the foyer and then turned around looking at everyone I had just walked past.  I continued to look until my eyes had fallen onto a familiar figure; tall dark and handsome was all I caught a glimpse of before he had turned around.  But it couldn’t be, I had left him back in New York…I don’t know, this doesn’t seem right.  I kept an eye on him as he walked over to a gorgeous tall blonde in a gold gown.  Oh god…How did they find me?  Why are Vlad and Natalie here?  I turned away quickly and looked for Seany; as soon as I had spotted her I pulled her to me and started to drag her into the marble hallway.  “What’s your problem?”  She asked a little to sassy for my liking. 

                “They’re here.  Vlad and Natalie are here and they are looking for me.”  I said quickly.  “Well don’t look now but someone is coming this way and he is gorgeous!  I mean look.”  She said as she twirled me around, my mask untying from the weight of my hair and the swiftness of the push.  I stood there staring up at the man that I thought was Vlad.  “Well, hello there miss long time no see.”  The stranger said to me.  “I, uh, I’m sorry I ran into you but I was just leaving.”  I said trying to side step him but something rough and warm gripped my wrist and pulled me back.  “It’s ok but I do have to talk to you,” He said as he pulled off his mask “Alone if you don’t mind.”  I looked up at Vlad, my breathe caught in my throat as I looked behind his shoulder and saw Natalie pull her mask off as well and come running toward us as he turned me around with his hands on my shoulders and pushing me forward.  We were in a bathroom with hot tub looking bath tub a gorgeous stone floor and a marble counter top with a matching sink.  “What were you thinking?  Running off like that; we were terrified about what happened to you and Seany!”  He said.  “I was so scared that I had lost you…After what happened and what I did.  I’m sorry Claire.”  He said as his face got closer and closer to mine until our lips touched and he pressed in harder.  He ran his fingers through my hair, all of my bobby pins slipping out at their own free will.  I ran my hands up his chest and around his shoulders pulling him down to me to get a better advantage.  He kissed me harder and harder lifting me up by my waist and sitting me on the counter as he slipped in between my hips and kissed me harder.  “I’m sorry I left you, I was scared and didn’t know what was going on.”  I said in between kisses.  He looked at me with tears in his eyes as he held my face in his hands; I closed my eyes and bit my lip hard trying to look away from his gorgeous eyes.  I try to open the door but his arm is already blocking my way out as if he already knew what I was planning.  I look up at him once more and bite my lip harder. “I really need to get back to Seany before she gets worried.”  I say looking up at him scared.  “I can’t let you do that, see Charlie is talking to Seany right now and Natalie is outside the door in case you try to bolt.”  He said his breathe so close to my ear.  “You can’t do this I won’t go quietly Vlad.”  I said breathlessly.  He smiled as his lips trailed down my neck and his hands traveling down the back of my dress undoing to the laces “I was hoping you’d say that.”  He said as he continued to undo my dress and I not stopping him, completely lost in his fiery kisses, I close my eyes and let him take control.  It’s just for one night right?  What could it hurt anyway.
