Love Dies

History

.As the moonlight shined through the night sky, I thought of the first time I found love...

"Brother, I would like to introduce you to Maxwell."

"Hello, I'm Maxwell."

My brother, Micheal, gave me a look that said come with me...privately. At that moment I knew he was mad, I followed his command. We entered our bedroom and he told me to sit down. I refused.

"What's your problem?!" I said

"He's a human! You don't LOVE your food!" he replied. From that line I knew I made a mistake introducing them. But what choice did I have? We were twins! His words pulled me away from my thoughts. "You have to get rid of him!" He shouted. But then his words made me confused and I started to get dizzy. I didn't understand him. "Maxwell would have died before me anyways since I'm immortal." I replied, using a calmer voice.

"This is exactly why I want you to get rid of him Lucy..."

"I don't want too!" That scream, louder than I expected, finally broke out. The scream, the anger and the pain that I've been holding for years.

"If you won't, then I will."

"NO! I'll...I'll...I'll run away with him!"

"You can't!" I can see the desperation in his eyes as it slowly turns red. It was bright and flaming. I knew he was angered with my decision. But I couldn't give Maxwell up. He was the only one who could sooth me from this ever changing world that we vampires have to witness and bare. Tears started to flow down my cheeks when I suddenly started to remember my parents being burned to death. The human's eyes burning with desire to end our race, thinking my parents were the last remaining vampires, forgetting that vampires too could have children who look exactly like humans. These thoughts burned a hole through my heart. The hole was so deep that even Micheal was able to see my thoughts. When he saw my tears, his face immediately calmed, slowly returning those bright red eyes into his soothing silver ones. This shade reminded me so much of the moon light. Though this had calmed me, I was still going to push through with my dangerous decision. So before I was going to leave, I took my brothers comfort and let him hold me for this is going to be the last time I would let him hold me so lovingly. As soon as he let go, we heard the creaking of the door. We both looked at the direction of the sound and saw Maxwell peeping into the room.

"Hey um...It's getting late and I have to get home so...ya..." was the first thing he said.

"Oh! Ok...I'll take you home." My brother said. He said this with the brightest smile any man would ever be able to see. But no one understood the meaning of this smile. Only I, his twin sister, truly understood his thoughts. This brought me back to the thought that I am the only person who has lived to witness this smile. From there, I immediately understood his evil plot. I decided to follow them.

"So...How long have you been seeing my sister?"

"I'm not so sure...I think it's been less than a month. Were not serious yet but I'm planning to ask her to be my girlfriend. But then I knew I'd have to get your permission first so...could you think about it?"

"Yeah. Sure."

Though hearing Maxwell say this made my heart flutter, I knew in the back of my brother's mind he was saying I don't need to think about it. When I was finally able to analyze this, I wanted to jump in and fight for Maxwell's life but then I thought that I was the only family he had left. As I looked up to watch them again, then it happened. I saw my brother sucking the life out of my beloved Maxwell. It took me a few seconds to take in the shock before my body could move again. Then I jumped to the rescue only to find out that I was already too late...

"WHY?!" I screamed.

"...because I had too...I didn't want you to make the same mistake that I did."

"That's my choice to make! Do you know how much pain I'm feeling to be able to watch my own brother...my own TWIN brother suck the life out of my first love?!"

There was no reply...

"DO YOU?!" I repeated.

"I...I'm sorry! I didn't expect..." I interrupted him from there.

"Didn't expect what?! To see me here witnessing it and crying pathetically over some guy?! Well he wasn't just some guy! He was the best guy anyone could ever ask for! He even accepted the fact that I was a vampire!" my voice started to fade once I noticed another mistake in this argument. But it was too late now.

"You told him?! You are not suppose to share this information with a human!"

"What does it matter?! He's dead anyways!"

"You still committed a major crime against the hidden world where vampires rule!"

"Then kill me now! I have no reason to live anymore. My life is based on pure sorrow and pain."

"You know I can't do that..."

"Why?! Why can't you do it?! Afraid to lose someone else?!"

"No!...because without you It is impossible for me to rule our world. We are the only remaining part of our blood line. We are considered as one!"

"I'm sorry but I can not rule this world beside you and stay lonely for the rest of my life...This is the last time I will speak to you like a loving sister my brother. Goodbye..."

"No! You can't leave me!"

I walked past him and picked up Maxwell's body without looking back. I could feel my brother's sorrow. We were that close. People once told us that if you were extremely close to you twin, you are able to form a bond. This bond allows you to read each other's minds, communicate and share the senses of the other. I've never tried using the power of the bond but from now on I'm gonna need it...

While trying to think of a place to hide, I decided to try to use this so called "Power of The Bond". I gave it half my concentration, knowing I would need the other half if ever my brother decided to come after me, and...I was in. I could see what he saw. It seemed like he was running, frantically searching. I found out that he was looking for me...alone. So I used up all my remaining strength and ran while carrying Maxwell's lifeless body. I grew tired easily and decided to hide in the caves. I ran into the forest and just kept running. Though I was tired, I didn't want to stop. It soon started to rain and I knew I had to find the cave soon, so I kept my eyes open for any sightings of a cave. Then there it was...the cave that I used to hide in when I was sad. This was the only place where in I was POSITIVE that Micheal couldn't read my mind. When I reached the cave I placed down Maxwell's dead body. I stared deep in his ocean blue eyes. I was vulnerable here. I curled up beside him and cried my heart out until I grew tired of crying. My sadness soon turned into rage. Rage reserved specifically for one man, Micheal, The brother I wished I never had. Even then, my conscience kept trying to tell me not to be mad but I couldn't think of a way to calm myself. As soon as I gave up trying to calm myself, I could feel the anger over-power me. I knew my eyes were burning red but that didn't matter. No one was here to witness it. I felt like destroying every boulder I could find. But before I could do anything else, I knew I had to bury Maxwell. I waited for the time when there was least sunshine. As soon as dawn came, I left the cave with a body in my hands and immediately started my search for the perfect spot. I closed a spot under the tree where we first met and started to dig. When I finished I spoke to him.

"I'm sorry I can't give you a proper burial...I hope you forgive me...I'll visit ever year no matter how far away I am. Goodbye my love..."

At that moment I felt someone's presence...in my head, then it struck me! He's using the bond too! So I ran, ran fast and ran far, deep into the safety of the caves. I tried to block him off so that he couldn't see the direction I was running to. I was too tired to block him off immediately so instead I did the best I could. As I ran I thought never again shall I see the moonlight as soothing and beautiful...
