Nicolae: Is it love - The original story (Game walk through)

Chapter two part six

Nicolae > All this time I've been certain that it was him. Just like I know it wasn't just a wolf. He took my love away from me, it's as if he'd killed me too! That's why I have dedicated my life in hunting these creatures down.

I feel totally devastated by these revelations. I can't believe that the wolf in my dream is a murderer. I fully understand how Nicolae felt at the time... And he just confirmed that the wolf I dreamed about wasn't just a wolf!

> What about Drogo, Peter, and Lorie? Do they have anything against these creatures too?

Nicolae > We're all different, we each had our own story, before becoming what we are today. I can't tell you their story, it's up to them to tell you. But one thing's for sure, we're not really brothers and sisters. And we consider the man who turned us into vampires as our "father"... Without him, we wouldn't be here...

I feel disdain in his voice when he pronounces his name.

Nicolae > Viktor is very powerful, he's what we call an original vampire. He brought us all together so that we become one great and powerful family.

In the way he pronounces his father's name, I feel that he doesn't like him very much. I would really like to know more about this "original".

Nicolae > He's someone you can't go against. No one can ever confront him, do you understand?

At his words, I can't help but shudder. I'm not all that eager to meet this Viktor Bartholy person. Just hearing his name makes me flinch.

Nicolae > Be careful, Lana, you must be very wary of him.

The only time I had anything to do with Viktor Bartholy was when I applied for this au pair job. I wonder now if it was such a great idea! Whatever it be, I'll follow Nicolae's advice.

Nicolae > Take this word of advice too, don't get your back up with my family, they may be strange sometimes, but they're all big-hearted. You just need to get to know them, Lorie, Drogo, and Peter I mean. Without them, I don't know what I'd have become.

I nod shyly. I don't know if I'll manage to improve my relationship with them now that I know they're all vampires, but I'll try all the same. What's certain is that now I understand better why they don't look that much alike. And I understand better why I feel so bad with Drogo and Lorie. Whereas with Nicolae and Peter, I feel good.

> I promise I'll try, but I'm afraid it might be too difficult with Drogo and Lorie. I don't think they like me very much.

Maybe I'm exaggerating a bit and the situation isn't as complex as it seems.

Nicolae > Don't worry, Lana. Like I told you, there's nothing to be afraid of. Certainly Lorie is capricious but she's young, and her vampire state influences her way of being and her reactions.

Obviously, I can understand. At her age, her condition must be very difficult to bear...

> What about Drogo, he's always so aggressive with me.

Nicolae > Drogo is a young vampire, he deals with the distress his vampire conditions brings him, as best he can. It's his way of defending himself. Peter finds refuge in his music, and Drogo prefers action.

Of course, I understand... And anyway, it all sounds pretty human, when you think about it. We all have our personality. Even I know that I'm not always that easy to live with, my parents told me often enough. I need to take them as they are just like they'll have to accept me as I am. And after all, I'm not all that "normal" myself, if I really turn out to be a medium... Thinking of my parents makes me anxious. I prefer to change the subject so that Nicolae doesn't perceive my trouble. I prefer to ask him questions about a vampire's daily life, just to see how accurate Pr. Jones classes are. It's always better than talking about me!
