Let me tell you what it was to be made vampire. It wasn't birth. Birth implies pushing, tearing forth into the light, screaming. Becoming immortal was to be pulled, to be tugged irrevocably into darkness, and it was silent. I should have fought, any person should fight, but my mind had been filled with a hazy calm which forbade any battle. Struggling had been the last thing on my mind, even when my bus arrived and my assailant waved it on, dismissing my last hope of escape. Yet my lack of rebellion was far from the most unsettling part of the stranger's control over me. The truth was that the man could've asked anything of me and I would've complied, but he didn't need to vocalise his request. I knew instinctively what he wanted. I sighed and surrendered myself as he held me against his front in a lover's embrace, tipping my head and willingly giving him access to my throat. "One day you'll understand," he whispered, his tone subdued. I've often wondered since if he was really talking to me. Perhaps he'd been talking to himself, persuading himself that one day I'd know and accept his reasons for what he'd planned for me. I wouldn't. I couldn't. Because when my fangs came in, my world altered irrevocably. It became somewhere dark, somewhere filled with murder and blood, where magic was sinister and where even my closest ally seemed more like an enemy... Even if he did make my heart skip a beat.

“Now, now, enough with the pissing contest, boys.” Sage says, still giggling. Dominic shoots me a look that sends heat flares through my body and suddenly I stop laughing and bite my bottom lip. He casually strolls by Tobias. I hear Tobias growl and I can tell he’s trying to hold back his anger. Dominic doesn’t pay attention to him as he walks with purpose towards me. He takes my face in his large hands and bends down, kissing me. I pull away in shock that he’d do this in front of them. He looks at me frustrated. “What? You’re mine. I can do whatever I please.” He calmly states. “What do you mean by yours?” I ask, taken aback. Dominic looks at Sage and smirks, “You haven’t told her, have you?” “No, that’s what I was getting to before my husband…” She glares at Tobias, “…so rudely interrupted us.” “What’s he talking about, Sage?” I ask. “Well, you see…I know you had a dream about him yesterday morning. When you’re a witch in our bloodline, you have a dream of your ummmm…..soul mate. Ta-da! Meet your soul mate!” Sage yells while doing jazz hands. “Is this true?” I look at Dominic who is smiling. “Yes, that’s why you trust me. That’s why you were so willing to let me hmmm…” He licks his lips, “….taste you.”

Standing on the path, my life flashed before my eyes. The gun directed at me, went off. I could see the flash and the bullet coming straight for me, but I'm frozen to the spot I'm standing, unable to move or think clearly. It only registered with me that the bullet pierced my skin when my body impacted on the cold wet cement. Lying there I could hear my heartbeat slow as my blood flowed from my body. That's when I heard it, footsteps getting closer til a man face appeared in front of me. But my vision is too blurry to see him clearly. That' s when he spoke, "You will be reborn. I'm giving you a second chance.You are not my beloved so you will wake up a soulless killer with no remorse and a burning desire for blood. I can't give you a normal life but I'm giving you the chance for revenge. I can't tell you what to expect because I don't know myself. I have no idea why I'm changing you but something is telling me it is not you're time to die" I had no idea what he' s talking about, well not til I woke up. That night Ivy died and what was reborn is something dark and dangerous. He was right, I am a soulless monster. I have no remorse for the blood I shed. Not when it gets me closer to having my revenge.
