<HTML></P><P ALIGN=JUSTIFY><FONT SIZE=3 PTSIZE=10> I sat to watch the horizon of the sun going down. And watched the silver, shinning, moon appear. I hear the echo of bat's wings in the distance. I live in darkness, since 1620. That was the day that i became what i am today. It is 1658. A kind of creature that kills at night to live. I drink the blood of my own kind; that i once was. I take the very essence and make them also what i am; a vampire. My name is; Curtis. I have lived through lonelyness, frustration,depression, not known the weakness of being old-or not feeling a pleasant kiss, without my lips burn- or feel how easly it is to bleed or die. I am a creature of hell, that i must admit to. I have killed many men, women, for my own life to live as an immortal. I onced loved a women. She was so beautiful. I looked into her eyes and i knew what she would be thinking. That was when she lived 'till, twenty-nine. When a terrible tragic thing that ever happened to me- she was killed when her coach went riding off a cliff. My heart was shattered when I heard the news that next day. I grew weary and hatefull of life. Because the day her accident took place- I was worried that she wouldn't say yes to be my wife. It still sticks with me each day as I live as a vampire. Everytime when I feed, i think of her death. If only she could've lived, she would probally be by my side today as i live. But i think she would've wanted to die. Then ever become what i am. Today this very time, people still think of vampires,and their immortality. Well i tell you this; theres more than to be a vampire. You must live in the shadows of darkness. So you wont die from exposure from the sun. You can never eat cooked meat,or even look on food. Only food you would thrive for;as a vampire; is blood. You also can never be around fire, because you would burn at the very sight of it. Only way is always being cold. You might think that immortality,and being able to fly is great- Well think of killing those that you love. <BR>

</P><P ALIGN=JUSTIFY>The next day-or should i say the next night. I heard a voice that seemed familiar. I got out of my bed and headed downstairs. I came closer and even closer coming downstairs-seeing who is down there. When i got down stairs- my eyes rejected the lights that hanged from the celling. Then i heard that voice again coming from the den. I headed walking down the hallway,going past the stairs. I opened the double doors and there sitting in my chair was my friend Conner;a vampire;plus an old-friend. "Sir, this is.."said my Sister; Catrina;Brown hair and green eyes-"Yes i know, Catrina this my friend; Conner, when i was in college. Studying to be a Doctor. May I talk with Conner alone, my dear sister," I replied hastaly. "I'll be prepair dinner?"She implied "It was nice talking with you, Catrina?"Conner said smiling. Catrina nods and smiles, then leaves. "I advise you not to start anything with my sister. Conner, what have you come here for?" I said in a swipper. "I have come to check on you old-friend?" "Is it?!" I said pooring myself and Conner a drink. "No, its not. Theres been some vampires around on London,and Paris; streets," Conner replied as i handed him his drink. "Is there, hasnt there been vampires roaming the streets about for years like me and you have done," I said jokingly, I turned around, but not a chuckel or smerk. "So this must be a big matter?" "Yes it is. I managed to talk with another vampires," He said theres a master in town. Actaully a vampire, organizing to kill you," Conner said hesitancy. "So then, what did I ever do, to make this vampire mad?" I said as I sat, drinking my wine. "Well, your wealthy, and this house and land can hold about a thousand vampires," Conner said looking around the room. "Oh, Well if you ever come in front of this vampire; tell him to come by sometime," I said with sarcasm. "I'm serious, this vampire means business. If you dont get catrina and her son away from here. He will kill both of them. And not that he will cripple you," Conner replied, but i mainly didnt lisen to his talk. "Look Conner, nor will i take my sister away from here, nor will some vampire cripple me. And you've seen the way i can fight other vampires," I said, but no answer from Conner. "You look Curtis, dont trust any other vampire. And dont forget what i told you," Conner said putting his hat on. "When are you ever going to tell, Catrina?" Then he left, slamming the door on his way out. I took a deep sign, and thought for a minute until, Catrina came in and asked where Conner is. "He left, Catrina. He needed to be somewhere," I said. "Well I have dinner on the table?" She told me. "Not right now," i shouted at her. "But?!" "Not tonight, Catrina or never will i eat!" I replied turning away to hide my face from her seeing what i truelly am. She ran off crying, and I also slammed the front door infrustation and left the house.<BR>

I flew to the city of london in about an hour. I walked the rest of the way to a near by bar that most vampires go. I opened the door and out came a drunkin man, falling, as he tried to walk. I walked in and most of the mortals there where drunk, also laughing. One of the wenches had nocked a man out with a glass bottle. I sensed no presence of a vampire sitting at the bar, but i did seem to sense a feeling i was being watched from above. I walked to a staircase,which goes up to a ballcany. I walked up finding more men drunk, but then i sensed a vampire. "Good night young man, can I help you?" I looked over and saw an old man smiling at me,through an eyeglass,and sitting by his side a women. "Sit down my goodman, let me buy you a drink," He said insistingly. "Okay, I'll have, what your having," I replied smiling. "So i guess your the master?" He looked at me and smiled."No, im not, but I hear this master wants you dead?" He said as the young lady brought me my drink. I siped it for awhile and it was blood- So then i knew i was talking to a vampire. "I guess you know what i am?"The old man said. "Yes, I do know, and I am what you are." I implied. "Really, well I advise you to keep low. Because there are others just like you and me around wanting to asasinate you," He replied picking up his glass of....blood. "Come love, lets go. Come my friend, let me talk with you on the way down,"He said smiling and put his hate on. I talked with him ,as i walked with him down stairs. I talked with him in the middle of the bar. I smiled and turned around as we went different ways. "My dear-man catch?!"He replied.I turned around seeing a knife coming my way. I ducked and he walked out laughing. I got up and running out of the bar, heading toward the double doors. But then i was tripped. I turned over, and a man with long black hair, and holds a stake in hand. "Time to die?!" He said, Lifting and coming down fast with the stake. I got out of the way of the stake. He sticks the stake into the wood floor,and tried to pull it out. I got up and kicked him hard in the face with my foot. Sending him a couple feet across the room. I went outside and the oldman and the women were gone. I began walking down the street. When a women from behind a corner fires a bullet from her pistol. Hitting me straight in the arm. In a heart beat i flew towards hers, grabbing her by the neck and hold her head back with my hand. She growls and curses at me. I also growl back and but i show my fangs. "I grow tired of this non-sence. I demand to know who this master wants from me?" I yelled at her and pressed even more of my strength upon her. "You won't ever be able to kill my master?" She hissed, and growled. "If you won't tell me witch, then i guess your done for tonight?" I replied in vengenance by taking out my knife and thrusting it threw her heart. She hissed and turned to dust. When I did that acouple of mortals watched me. Then I flew off to find Conner. I could sence him anywhere I went. Then I went back to the house. I walked up the path way of stones that lay in the ground. I opened the door and the house was quit. Then I happened to notice that someone was in the den. I went in and my sister,asleep in her chair, their infront of the fire.I sat down by her in my chair. I thought of the day she was born. She was so beautiful and still is. I again was growing hungry. So I picked her up and carried her to her bedroom. Just as I did when she was younger- I had carried her to bed. The door was already ajar. I pushed the door open all the way. I put her down and then she awakened. "Hi" she said and i replied back. "Where did you go tonight?" Catrina said with a half of a smile. "I was around, get some sleep. Oh, im sorry for what i said early. I didnt mean to get so angry,"I said. "Its okay," Catrina responded and signed. I closed the door and my urge for blood came over me. I raced down the stairs and flew open the door. I roared and my fangs grew for blood. From of a mile from down the road. I heard a man. I could sense his soul, its young, fresh blood-and a strong spirit. I flew down towards him. I droped down and took him by the neck and forced my fangs into his neck- tasting his blood on my tounge. Warm blood,kinda like warm milk, but much fresher. "You still hunt for the pleasure don't you?" Behind me I heard the voice of conner. "Yes Conner, I do, I find it very excitting still," I said wiping my lips of fresh blood. "So did you find what you were looking for in, London?"he replied with a short laugh. "Yes, well you were right. An old man, and a man, woman attacked me. And all were vampires," "Really, well I heard this master vampire knows who you are. Also, has vengeance on you for rejecting him in the past," Conner exlaimed. Before I could say anything else. A loud scream came from the house. "Catrina?" I said. Me and Conner flew to the house. I came down seeing my sister; Catrina, being hit by another. I got over to the vampire ,and bit into his neck. Then conner took care of him, as I cared for my sister. "Catrina?" I said nervously. I saw her wounds and didnt look to well. Catrina, opened her eyes and said;"What are you?" My eyes began to tear up and my heart broke. "I..I'm a vampire. I kill to live. I can never die. Thats why i haven't aged or looked older. And if you want to become what I am? nod your head," I replied as a tear fell from my eye to her hand. "Will I ever age?"she said. "No, you wont, but you'll have to kill to stay alive," Then she nodded, and right before I could, take her blood. She died. "NO!" I yelled and out came her son; Micheal. "Ma'ma? Ma'ma?" He said again and again. "Come micheal, lets go into the house?" i said but demanded. "No! why is she dead?!" He replied. "Someone killed her? And i will find out who had done this, okay? go back to bed?" Off he went, but looked back on his mother. "You know what this means?" Conner said. "Yes, he's gonna wanna know how a man could do such a thing. He's gonna want to know what I truely am," I said and turned around toward Conner. "Its almost dawn. I must be going?" I watched Conner fly off in the sky.<BR>

The next day passed fast and I began my search for the master. I went to every bar, every inn, and so on; that I could find where a vampire might go. This vampire seemed to know me very well. I dont know how, but for some reason, he knows me. That night around twelve. My hunger for blood again. I had already killed about two tonight, but thats the most that I had time for. So I had to get something. I went back to the bar where I had meet the hold man and his friend that i had kicked in the face. When i got their a bunch of men looked at me as i walked to the bar. I could sence that they were vampires and that they might be working for the master. Then I got a strange feeling from out of know where. I turned around fast and caught a mans arm that in his hand was a knife. I then broke his arm, and threw him across the room. Others came at me. One of them clenched his teeth into my neck, but I threw him off in time. Then as I had them all acomplished, or to say defeated. I looked up and saw the old-man with eye-glass. He pulls out a gun and the bullet hits my shoulder. Then as I held my shoulder. The same vampire I had kicked-gave me an upper cut. And I flew back into the bottles of licker and beer; that were on the shelves. I got up and saw the vampire that hit me. He held in his hand a sword. I jumped over him and the crowd of vampires. I saw on the floor a sword. I picked it up and the vampire with the sword came at me. I fought with him for awhile. He cut my arm and I came back slashing his leg. Then from behind the vampire I was fighting with- A gun went off and the vampire turned to dust. I looked at the dust for a minuet. I looked up and saw the old-man again, standing there with a grin. "Good-night, my friend" Old-man replied and in the shadows he had disapeared. I flew up onto the ballcony. But he wasnt there. Then when I turned around the vampires were ready for a rematch. I flew straight at them knocking each one down. I stabbed each one threw the heart and they all turned to dust. I went out of the bar, and senced someone watching me in the shadows. I walked for about three-hours. Finding no sort of strangeness going on or any attacks of vampires or the usaul bergler attempts. All that lied ahead of me was darkness, and the cold wind that blew across London. It was now four, and I was growing hungry for my main course. Earlier I had a chicken for a snack. <BR>

My mouth began to scream for blood, and my nose could sense youth in the air. I ascended to the night as any nightstalker has done. I came flying across a theater were mortals found their entertainment. I looked down and saw a woman that wore a black dress and makeup finally put on. I came soaring down in a near by alley. A man wearing a suit came by the alley. I came out from behind a wooden box and grabbed the man. Holding his arm from reaching his gun. I propt his head to the right and clenched my eager fangs into the man's sensitive skin. I could feel the same thing when I took the life from the young man that passed my house. And then dumped his life-less body in a near by cemetairy. As for this man I will give him Immortality-only taking half of his blood. Before I could bring the man across. The lady that I saw standing infront of the theater stood infront of me holding a wooden stake and gun. "Die vampire!"She replied firing a bullet from her gun. The bullet how ever sails into my shoulder, nocking me to the ground. I get up and I roar with pain-that she had aflicted on me. She then, came back with a high kick and makes my mouth bleed. I went down on the ground again and still in pain. "What no cross?" I had to ask. She then pulls out a cross with a red diamond in the center- which the light goes threw and burns me. I come up again and come down faster. Nocking her to the ground and pulling out my gun. I fire three shots and kills her. I watched as her blood ran from her body. I couldn't believe that I had killed the slayer of this time. Then I went to the man, but to late to bring him across. His heart beat was already gone. So then I took his hat, and his coat. It had a few dollors also. So again I flew off. Soaring in the sky- Feeling the clouds against my face- The moon shines on me, and look down on th city of london. Lights flared and I could hear only silence- Which I havent heard in along time. Around five, I came down, but from out of the blue, an arrow slices through my skin. I roar, and yell, as I could feel my blood come out. I pulled out the arrow, and could sence the presence of ten vampires. Most of them were around me. I landed on the ground, and five vampires came down at me. Some snarled, and hissed- well one woman-somewhat like a dog. I looked at my oponents carefully. One was a preacher, another a ten year-old boy that dressed in black. A woman that looked like she was from a saloon. The other two were just sailors, held chains. "Your going to die!" Replied one of the sailors. They came at me at once. I jumped up in the air. Came down smashing the preacher, and the salloon girl, in the faces. I picked up a knife and a gun. The vampires where around me and ready to attack at any second. Then in a flash they surrounded me by making a dust cloud, with their able to fly. Then a rip of chains slash me in the hand and stomach. Blood ran, but my adrenline filled my soul of being a vampire and then two more chains snapped out from the dust cloud. I caught both chains and i pulled the chains on whichever vampire held the chains. Both came from out of the dust cloud. I hit them with both fists. Then pulling out the knife and the gun. I shot and thrust the two vampire in the heart. Both burst into flames and turned to ashes. Then the dust cloud evolved and was gone. I looked everywhere, they could be. I then saw then knew it was time to head back. Because in an hour the sun will arise. I came to the house and saw upon the hill the cross that I had made. Which when I put it into the ground my hands burned. My sister; Catrina, lays in the ground, for she could have eternal life. Again, I loose a love that was close to my non-beating heart. For I once lost a love that was close, again I losed someone who meant more. Catrina; that I grew to watch, to become the woman who she once was. But now is dead. I walked up the hill, got down on my knees , and cried, hoping this all would be just a bad dream. But my tears stung, for I was vampire, a creature that had no remors- for dead loves. The sun became know to me as it arised aand I felt the burning of its heat. I flew in a flash and I was in the door. Something seemed not right. I could smell something in the house that wasnt human. But vampire. The windows where covered. The paintings were shreded. I came to the kitchen finding meat on the table, that wasnt cooked, but looked eaten anyways. Only person that was in the house was micheal. Then I heard a noise up stairs. Someone was up there. "Micheal?" I replied hesitanly. But no answer. I could see no light from up stairs. I went to the den to rest,and to have a drink. The fire was about gone. Only small flames ate away at the wood that was left. I placed more wood in and fire blazed. I stood back up and turned around to find Micheal in my chair. "Micheal" I said surprised. "I called your name but you didnt answer. Is everything alright?" All he did was glare at me. Looking at me, studying if i was going to attack of somekind. "Why have you kept your secret from me?" Micheal said. "What secret?" I said smiling, but actually wondering if he found out- but how? "Dont play dumb with me,Uncle. I know you are a vampire. But one question my dear uncle? Why didnt you take my Mothers life, Her soul. You could have saved her from her death from the vampire." He protested in anger, as he raged and I saw in his eyes that he too was one. "I'm sorry, what happened to me was not to be. And your Mothers death,well, I was about too, but her life taken her faster than I could bite,"I said trying not to let him know that i never intended to take my sisters life. To give her immortality. "How can you say that, that you werent supposed to be a vampire. Life has its bouderies, but it intended for you to become one, and for me also," Micheal replied has he babled on about being a vampire. I opened a box and took out a knife. A rather big knife. I then turned around and faced him, but kept the knife in back of me. "Micheal," I said interrupting him while he preached about being a vampire. "Yes uncle?" As he turned around, I then had thrusted the knife through his 12 year old heart. The pain broke me even more it did him. But he just staired and said nothing. He feel to the floor dead. Never turned to ashes. Again, and again, and finally again, someone died at my hand. I drank untill I became drunk. I stumbled down stairs to the basement- where I sleeped in my coffen. I layed there in the blackness of my coffen, thinking was life all along, intended to make me a creature that sleeped in the day and kill at night to stay in a darkness of immortality. Again i sign, and wished this was only a dream. But can anyone, can God hear me scream?<BR>
<BR>
The next day I had trouble getting out of my coffen. I was totally sour and tired from the fighting I had done yesterday. To bad i couldnt have saved micheal, but in the end- he would've know that being a vampire wasn't that great. I arose and walked up the stairs. Going to the den and finding micheal's body. I picked him up and carried him outside and laid him to rest. I then put another cross in the ground. Then a gust of wind came brushing through. "To bad he couldnt have lived. Why did you kill him, Curt?" I turned around seeing my friend; Conner, standing their with a cold look, like ice."I killed him, because I saw myself. I didnt want him have to live amongst the darkness, having to kill, and then regreating it. This life that we live insant well. Its not great to live as an Immortal, and when touching a flower- it turns to dust. Thats what we are, demons. We were once mortals that lived a good life. Now it is all gone,"I said looking down at the ground. "I see and you dont want to live as an Immortal. I must confess something to you, Curtis. I am the master vampire. I sent all those vampires to attack you, as you were out looking down for me, The master," Conner said, and my rage came over me like wind. "You shall die, you monster,"I said and I pull out my sword and attack him. "So be it," Conner said jumping in the air, pulling out a crossbow and fires. I catch it in my hand and I slash my sword at him. We both fall to the ground. I, not even brused, Conner cuts all over his leg and arm. "Not bad for a beginner. But now, no more talk. Time to meet your end, Curt," Conner said as his eyes turn red like fire, wind picked up, the dust turning into a storm. I was wondering what will happen next. Then from his hand, shot a blade from his rist. Cutting into my right arm. He comes back shaking the ground and fires and arrow again, as he was in mid-air. Coming down as his sword was drawn. I fought back harder and even more harder. To save my Immortality. Again, Conner, came back and tried to thrust his sword into my heart. I gave him a back rist with my sword. Only cutting the material of his coat. Dust gathered as the wind got stronger. "Giving up, Curt?" Conner replied. "I haven't even broken a sweat yet," Again I came back with sarcastic remarks and attacks with my sword. "Now it is time to meet are fate. If one of us happens to defeat each other," Conner protested as rain fell, and lightning picked up. "If I die, you'll come with me, Conner, and I swear it- with my own Immortality," I raised my sword for the finally show down. Conner, stood with his eyes only glared on wanting me dead. Then we attacked. I coming back with a high-kick and fist full of vengeance. Conner hitting me in the chest and gives a uppercut to prove his strength. I come swinging my sword and Conner's sword meets my blade. The blade of my sword, cut through Conner's blade. I Come slashing, and tearing into Conner's skin. Then without hesitation. I thrust my sword into his heart, and willingly, withou caring if he was once my friend from college. He gasped for air and blood spits from his mouth. His pain, his strenghth, his power of being a, Master Vampire, All gone. His flesh turns to dust, but his skeleton structure remained. I barried him in the ground. Where he shall remain forever. Then the dawn of the sun came. I stood there watching it rise. I didnt care if it had taken my life. I only wanted to feel the sun one last time. And I sure did. The next night, I left, and headed over to Scottland. So I may be at peice. At my house I again stand, looking at the silver, shinning, moon. <BR>
