Thousand years

prologue

Every person of our family is a vampire. My father sir Alexander Daniels is the king of, well just about everything here in the south. He was born in the 1200's. His Father was a duke and His mother was a Lady. They gained their fortune by farming and renting their other properties to other rich aristocrats.
His father died of a heart attack and His mother died a few months after that and no one knew why she died, she just dropped dead. In my opinion it was because of a broken heart.
She lost the love of her life, so she didn't want to be a live anymore.
She gave up.
How... teenager of her.

My father inherited every cent of their fortune. My father sir Alexander Daniels is very handsome. He has dark brown hair, deep brown eyes. When, he smiles it lights up the room.
He is tall, 6 feet tall.
He has strong jaw line and he always looks like he's thinking about something important.
My father always dresses himself in the best clothes possible, well depending what was in at that time.
In spite of being a vampire king he always had eyes only for my mother Corinna. She is beautiful she has long blond hair and blue eyes.
She is always poised and well mannered, I think it has something to do with when she was born. Girls back then weren't like girls are now.
She loves and dad love each other deeply. She is the heart of our family.
I think that their love was the only true love in the world.

They met when they were just children, little toddlers.
My Mother lived in the Morris Mansion next to the Daniels Mansion our father's childhood home. My mother was born in 1201 she as well was born to a family of money just like me and my brothers.
Her Father was a baron, her mother died at child birth, that was common in those days. Her father never remarried again he raised her alone with the help of nannies and maids.
She never talks about her childhood.
When she married my father their parents combined their properties as a sing for the marriage. Both of their parents lived with them until they died.
Our grandparents only met Leonardo my brother, they passed when he was 6 months years old. From what I have heard about our grandparents they were kind people.
When my parents were married they lived in a real castle. It was made from stone there was lanterns in the hall ways to give light.
They had horse stables and every kind of farm animal you could think of.
There was a moat that surrounded the castle and a big wooden bridge that could be pulled up.
Dad wasn't the king but he was pretty close to it. The house was huge I still have no idea how many rooms there actually was, it was right by the water too.
I think it was an ocean not sure which ocean, i don't remember the house.
The castle was surrounded by fields and there was even a little forest.
Outside the stone walls was a little village but we never got to go there.

Before their engagement our mother told us that our father corded her. I guess that's something they did back then, now day's people send a text and boom, they are together until a week later the boy talks to another girl.
He sent her invitations asking if she was interested in going on walks.
Our father used to read to her under the big oak tree. That tree was over 200 years old it was so wide three people couldn't hug it.
The branches were so wide that it gave a big shadow underneath. When they had their ''dates'' both of them always were escorted by a chaperone.
The Day my parents became engaged they carved their names in to that tree.
Our mother still tells that story when our father asked her to be his until death.
If you ask me, that's kind of cheesy and morbid.
Mom says that dad was so nervous, he was sweating the whole time.
She had waited for him to ask that question since the day they met.
It was love at first sight.

My Mother and Father married when my mother was just 16 years old. But then again that wasn't unusual in those times. Dad was only 17 years old.
Their wedding was beautiful, mom wore a beautiful wedding dress that took a long time to get make. She said that the dress well over 22 pounds. They were married in at the Daniel mansion the first wedding that ever took place there.
All the important people were there to celebrate the union.
Their weeding was a big deal since it united two very powerful and rich families. Still my father was a romantic, after the wedding my parents and the archbishop who blessed their union went to that very same oak tree they had carved their names and he blessed their union again.
That is the wedding they tell people about. Not the party that over 150 people attended they tell about the story of the two of them marring each other under that tree.
So sorry Hollywood you didn't start that trend of having two ceremonies my parents started that.
Shortly after their wedding my mother became pregnant and started expecting my brother Leonardo who was born in June 1217. Then in august 1220 my brother Matthew was born the second healthy baby boy.
In May 1229 cute little Lucas was born. After having three healthy children my parents decided that that was enough for them.
Little did they know that in 1223 mom became pregnant again? Alexander and Corinna wore blessed with a little baby girl I was born in February day before valentine. I was the only girl in a house filled with boys.
