End of Chapter 1
Maria did teach me, she taught me how to kill and fight..not as I fought before but fight as a vampire. She taught me how to use my new speed, how to be stronger than anyone, and how to handle the new 'people' that she brought in.
She कहा that this would be my job, I would be the trainer. I would help the new ones adjust and teach them the ways, that I would be a leader. It would be my job to keep them in line, to be the enforcer if need be..I had no reason to doubt her, to सेकंड guess her...so I agreed.
Every दिन from then on, one of the three would bring me someone new to feed off of. The sadness and guilt slowly started to go away, to lessen. I still felt for their families, knowing that no one would find them...which in turn made me think about my family.
What were they thinking now, I never was good at keeping in touch..but I would send a letter every few weeks. They would notice that I wasn't लेखन anymore. What would my military family think? I was the leader of a small regiment, I was the one that they looked to for guidance...who would take my place?
I didn't have much time to think these things, because the doors opened and Nelly..one of the 'sisters' brought in a small unconscious woman.
"This is your first recruit." She कहा as she set the woman at my feet. "Take care of her, train her...teach her."
I nodded slowly as I looked down at the woman at my feet. She had two small puncture wounds on her wrists, where she was bitten, and venom dried shiny against her mouth. Her body twitched as the venom spread through her body..changing what was human into what was vampire.
Chapter 2
I heard people walking down the alley where I was hiding, I could feel their fear and apprehension as they strode past...looking quickly then averting there eyes.
I knew I couldn't stay here any longer, I was still लॉस्ट in my memories. My thirst was still burning but I found that if I focused on the past, on my memories..that if I thought of other things that it wasn't as bad. I knew that this wouldn't last forever, but I hoped it would help for a few hours longer.
I looked around, spotting an open window on the third story above me. I knew that no one was in the room, I could hear no one and sense no presence. It looked like this house would have an attic and with any luck...it would be empty as well.
I stood up slowly so that I wouldn't attract any attention. When my body was completely upright I turned to make sure that no one was watching me climbed the side of the building, into the open window. Once inside I walked quickly through the room, looking for the attic access. I found a small panel on the ceiling and pulled it down, revealing a staircase.
I climbed the stairs and pulled them up behind me, closing the trap door so quickly and quietly that even if someone had seen this they probably would have thought their eyes were playing tricks on them.
I looked around the attic and noticed that it was almost empty. I doubted that anyone used it, and if they did, they didn't come up to check anything often enough for me to worry.
The only things in the attic were a very old, overstuffed chair that looked like it would collapse if anyone sat on it. There also was a small तालिका, टेबल that had one leg that was broken so that it leaned against the wall.
I laughed as I walked over and sat carefully on the chair. It was strong enough to hold me, but I cautioned myself not to हटाइए too often या it would either fall on the ground या it would make noises that everyone in the house would hear...causing someone to investigate.
It wasn't necessary for me to sit, I could stand forever like a statue but I realized that I didn't want to stand any longer. I sat in the chair and pulled my legs up beneath me, my thoughts instantly going back to Maria and the newborns.
There were six of us at that point, the three sisters, Caroline..the first 'recruit' that they brought me, George who was brought earlier that दिन and myself. We were quite the rag tag group of people, none of us having the same interests या concerns...yet there was something there that held us all together.
"We will be the strongest coven." Maria कहा as she smiled down at me.
She was breathtakingly beautiful. She still stunned me each time she looked my way, her blood red eyes holding mine and forcing me to look away first. Her long black hair that looked so soft that I craved to run my hands through it...and her strong features. She looked like a small Mexican doll, so small and fragile yet I knew there was something there that if she were pushed या challenged....I shivered at the thought of what she could do.
"Jasper, how are आप doing this?" Maria asked as she watched me closely.
"Doing what?" I asked.
"You are projecting your feelings, I am feeling what आप are." She कहा as she smiled slightly.
I felt my दिल beat faster, या it would be if that could happen. I smiled as I looked down, avoiding her gaze.
"I'm sorry, I don't know what आप are talking about." I कहा softly.
She came over and took my head in her hands. "Have आप always been charismatic? Always been able to influence others so that आप get your way?" She asked me.
"Yes Ma'am. My father always कहा I could get my way no matter what." I कहा as I avoided her gaze.
"Such a gentleman. I think it's और then just charisma. Do me a favor please?" She pleaded.
"Anything." I कहा quickly.
"Try to use your...talent...to get Caroline angry."
I looked at her, I didn't know what she was talking about. Why would I...How would I ever get her to be angry without doing anything. I stood there staring at Caroline trying to figure out how this worked.
I tried thinking it, and nothing happened...Maria just stood there watching me. I tried staring at her, trying to tell her what I wanted with my eyes...and well that didn't work either. My final thought was to find the anger that was building up inside myself. I found that small आग that was building deep inside, and pulled a small amount and pushed it out of my body, directly at Caroline.
Caroline quickly turned and pounced at me, anger and frenzy दिखा रहा है on her face. Before I realized it worked I felt teeth slamming/slicing into my skin. It was a very unpleasant feeling, like a burn या a sore. I grabbed Caroline's arm and threw her away from me, both of us taking defensive stances...growls coming from both of our throats.
"ENOUGH!!" Maria कहा as she stepped between us.
I quickly stood up, relaxing all of the muscles in my body at once. I rolled my head to the side and took a deep breath as I calmed myself.
Caroline stayed in the defensive position, every muscle in her body tight, tense with anger and frustration.
"What is happening to me." Caroline hissed through her teeth, looking from Maria to me and back.
"I told him to try something, and it worked better than I thought it would." Maria कहा as she looked over her shoulder, smiling at me.
I pulled the anger back into myself, pulling it away from Caroline. I smiled and looked deep, trying to find the calm and peace that was there. I pushed it out like a cool breeze and watched in awe as Caroline relaxed, her body easing out of the fight posture.
"Interesting, very well done Jasper." Maria said. "I'm thinking this will be beneficial for all of us. Jasper, could आप use this on a freshly turned?" She wondered.
"I don't know." I कहा unsure of myself.
"We will find out soon enough." She कहा as she turned her head to see Nettie and Lucy bring down one man each.
Both of the men were still unconscious, bleeding slightly from different wounds. I looked at Caroline and George before going to look at the two new 'recruits.' They were both muscular, strong muscles flowed in their arms as there bodies changed. I knelt down, sniffing at each of them remembering the scent of them so that they wouldn't be able to surprise me.
"Jasper, आप have impressed us." Maria कहा as Nettie and Lucy giggled in the background. "We have decided to award you."
"Award me?" I asked.
"Oh yes, dear one. We will take आप hunting with us tonight and tomorrow we will work on that power of yours." Maria कहा as she smiled up at me.
I nodded and looked at all three of them, their eyes glowing in the dim light from the lanterns. Nettie and Lucy went up first with me अगला and finally Maria. Once out of the cellar I noticed that the sky was clear, not a तारा, स्टार in the sky.
I could hear everything, the crickets गाना their night songs. The owls hooting their conversations to one another. The wind blowing through the reeds, the sound almost hypnotizing me with it's song.
"Come." Maria कहा as we began walking down the road.
Once on the road they started running, their legs carrying them faster then I would have ever thought possible. I watched them run, their legs moving so fast I could hardly see them. I watched for a second, but noticed how far they were and didn't want to be left behind...so I started running.
I had been athletic before, but I couldn't run far without becoming out of breath. Now, though I felt like I could run forever. The feeling was amazing. It was like my legs, my muscles were awaken for the first time. I pushed them, wondering how fast I could go if I tried. I quickly caught up to Nellie, passing her with a smile and continuing until I met Maria. I slowed to her speed and ran beside her for a minute.
"I'm still faster." Lucy called from up ahead of me.
"Not for long." I कहा quietly as I pushed my muscles as hard as I could.
The speed surprised me, it almost felt like I was riding a horse again...no this was faster than I ever was...even on horse back. I smiled as I ran past Lucy, surprised when I heard a growl escape her lips.
"Lucy, don't be a sore looser." Nettie called.
"He's new still." Maria said. "Jasper, did आप want to eat tonight?" She asked.
I slowed myself to a walk and turned to see all of them stopped at a farmstead turn off. I ran back to them, stopping directly behind them all.
The smell was the first thing that hit me, it was like being hit द्वारा a baseball bat. It made me take a step back, surprised as the venom in my mouth was suddenly flooding. I turned my head and heard them, heard the family that was milling around the yard, getting ready for the evening.
I pulled my lips back, exposing my teeth. I knew what I wanted, what I had to do. I saw the father, a middle aged man who was almost double my size. I could see the vein in his neck, and in his arms. I could see the पंप of blood each time his दिल beat.
I looked down at Maria, confusion and blood lust in my eyes.
"Follow your instincts, young one. We will help, no one will know of this night." She कहा softly as she urged me to go.
I shook my head, I could not remember any और of this thought...not now. Not knowing that my current hunger was worse then it had ever been. It had been too long, I needed to hunt. I needed to calm my thirst before I would be allowed to loose myself in thought again.
I opened the small window in the attic, looking around to be sure no one was looking before I jumped to the ground below without making a sound.
