vol. 1. The rebellion

west Africa, 1734

Screams. All you heard for miles around in the heat of Africa. Screams. Screams of agony, of pain, or torment and suffering. Screams coing from the princess, Aniya, of a small but prosperous people in West Africa. Not yet touched by the slave trade. All the princess could do was scream and cry. For she was on the brink of death. The pain she had felt from the sickness that had fallen upon her had nearly drove her mad. No one knew what the sickness was or where it even came from. She lay in her palace surrounded by her family and guards, worried that this was the end. Then a doctor had entered the palace. A small, older, woman who was the last practicer of the ancient healing craft that the people of land no longer used. She offered to pray over the dying girl. But it is what she said next that caught everyone's attention. "The prayer that I am going to say will grant her youth and life forever. She will be powerful and strong. She will never know sickness or death or pain". But what she didn't say is that this prayer/ spell
Had a horrible down side. The princess would have a hunger for human blood. She would become faster and stronger than humans. She would have sharp canine teeth to use when she would feed. She would be the first blood sucker. The first vampire. "This prayer has not been done before, but I'm sure it will help cure her". Said the woman. So she began to pray over Aniya. Her screams becoming louder and louder and more intense. Then the old woman gave the princess a red milky substance to drink. The drink was horrible and felt as dry as chalk going down the princesses throat. Now the princesses body began to ache. Every muscle felt sore and began to cramp. Every bone in her body cracking. Her mouth began to pain. Her heart on fire. Her body was dying. But she no longer was. After an intense physical attack Aniya just laid there whimpering. But she felt no pain. She was no longer in agony. She was facing the aftershock. She then picked herself up from her bed. She sat there and looked at everyone. She noticed her hunger. She noticed her sharpened teeth she noticed the part of her that wanted human blood. "What have you done to me" she asked the old woman. "I gave you immortality. I enhanced you. You are stronger than any human. You are faster. You will live forever. You will be young forever. You will heal from any physical harm almost instantly. The only downside is.... you will must for human blood. It is the only thing that will fill you. It energizes you." The princess looked at the woman. She was furious. "You will be punished" said the princess. Even her mother and father were infuriated. Her older brother, the current king, asked Aniya how they should handle her punishment. Aniya rubbed her belly. Quickly, with a speed no one had seen before, Aniya lunged onto the old woman, grabbed her by the neck and drained the blood from her. She bit her right on her neck. Aniyas parents and brother were shocked. They were afraid. Their family member was a monster. "Save me" said the woman. "How and why would I do that" Aniya said, aggressively. The woman then explained to her the process of making others like her. "After biting someone in order to save them from death you have to allow them to bite you. Your blood will turn them. It will attack the bite and form them into someone like you. Into a vampire. But you are the first so you are the most powerful and you always will be." Interested, the princess looked at the woman and began to laugh. "I'd rather let you die" said Aniya. And so the woman laid there and bled out. She died within the next minute. Aniya laughed. "Foolish old woman". Aniya left the room. Everyone who had witnessed the event was in dismay. They were shocked and afraid.

Aniya walked to the main hall. There she met her three most trusted guards (and her childhood friends) Paris, a half African half French female, Serafin, a full African female and Ahdair an African male. They all bowed but she insisted it was unnecessary for they were all friends. She explained what had happened to them. They were all confused and shocked. Then with lightning speed she bit the three of them. They fell to the ground. They couldn't bare the pain. She bite her arm. "Each of you drink now."
So they did. The pain they felt had left. They had transformed. She had explained to them what they had become. "Now we have some business to attend to". She walked back to her room. She had a master plan now. "The crown, I want it". She grabbed her brother by the throat and threw him across the room and into a wall. "I want to rule our land." Her brother laughed. So she twisted his arm back, breaking it. And grabbed his skull. Afraid, he told her that she was now the new ruler. She then threw him out of the window. She no longer had a care for others unless they were her trusted childhood friends. Her parents ran away. But not quick enough. She was way too fast and instantly caught up. She had blamed them for what had happened to her. "Lock them and my brother away". She told her guards. So they did as was told
