Writings Of A Dead Man

Entry 1

22nd October, XXXX

Greetings,

My name is Aerim Kwon. I am an elder vampire of the manor and household of Lost En Noir, which actually provides me a reason to be the first person to write an entry to this journal, which belongs to all the residents.

Frankly speaking, I am quite unsure of what to write about, considering how private I am with both myself and information in regards to the manor. 690 to 2300 years of living truly has provided me with experiences and reasons to keep my guard up to prevent any risks to the safety of the manor, closing off any possible dangers. While it has helped me accomplish many things, I still have regrets about it.

Being private took away my ability to become more open-hearted and outspoken to others, piled up along with my responsibilities as an elder, it also slowly became stressful. My paranoid nature has never changed and it still gives me a lot of thoughts about my decisions.

"Am I doing it right?"
"Is this correct?"
"Why is this happening?"

Questions would write themselves into my mind and kept on getting rewritten, no matter how much I disliked having to remember that I was the one making those decisions. My residents' lives and safety is my responsibility. A slip up can bring them closer to death and I am honestly not ready to see that.

Speaking of residents, we recently had intruders barging into the manor despite all of the rumors I payed the newspaper companies to make. In truth, I could only find the party of people foolish the first time I met them.

But they're adapting, surprisingly. They're comprehending the fact that us vampires' existence must not be known to other humans. They were very understanding and now reside at the mansion with the residents. Though, thanks to them, the guest rooms were all taken.

This was a bit longer than I thought it would be and I'd like to apologize for that. I'll tell you my future plans before signing this entry into the journal.

I hope to cover up the guests' disappearances as much as I can. But I also would like to do my best on keeping the household under control properly so they won't do anything too silly. Chaos will bring more chaos and while I'd be happy to have fun with them, my duties will always be my top priority.

That brings us to the end of our first entry. I feel better finally writing some of my thoughts out. I have my own personal journal that has some classified information that I can't address out, and it is very different from this one. This one lets me speak out my emotions while the other one is a bit more different. But I'd like to say thank you for reading this, along with please do not ask what I usually hide. I feel like if I reveal them, It will lead to... horrible things.

Yours truly, 

Aerim
