" you've been fighting the
memory all on your own
nothing washes
nothing grows
i know how it feels being by
yourself in the rain
we all need someone to stay "

It's year 2105 and the world has gone to shit. But, there's a kingdom that's been kept under Europe. It's where everyone who survives ends up. It's run by those who destroyed us, the vampires. They've completely taken over and have made life a living hell. Those lucky enough to remain alive as humans are sold, used as food, tortured for fun by the vampires, or forced to work in the castle. My mother, Irina Hastings, was valuable to the vampires.
When a vampire killed her husband, she figured she had nothing left to live for. She lied to the locals and said that she was pregnant, with twins. See, reproducing was strictly forbidden and anyone who dared to disobey the royal family would suffer a fate worse than death. She was found and taken into custody. The court skipped the trials and sent her to a hospital for an ultrasound where she found out that she really was pregnant.
My mother happened to be a rare specimen among the humans. She had natural dark hair and bright blue eyes which were selling like crazy on the market. So, she was sold. Sold to the royal family.
My mother threatened to kill herself if they harmed her baby. No one would win so the king agreed to give her child a job in the castle and in return, she wouldn't be harmed and the mother would be sold to Prince Derik.
20 years passed and her mother became ill. Cancer was a sickness spreading quickly among the humans. Of course it was easily cured, but some of the symptoms could kill a person if not treated immediately. Irina became sick and the hospitals were packed. Derik, afraid to loose his most prized possession, acted impulsively and forcefully turned Irina. Turned her into a blood-thirsty monster.
He was smart about it though, instead of keeping her to himself, he locked her away. Slowly, she would become weak and she would fall into a sleep that she wouldn't wake from until she tasted human blood again. And her daughter...
