Dom Vicent

Well today is another day of those I love..., cloudy skies, a fine silent rain, that delicious smell of wet earth and that desire to walk through the garden feeling the small raindrops to wet me, yes I am a “person ” quirky and also something hard to believe, I became something that for many people is just a folklore told to children on halloween, I'm not a ghost or zombie, I'm like you in many ways and that's something that amazed me in the beginning..., it's true I always saw this way of being as a monster, but today I don't see myself as one. Well being more direct, I'm a vampire my name is Diana Vales and I'm 400 immortal years old, but every time someone asks my age I say I'm twenty-eight, even though I've become a vampire at twenty-five, how did I become a vampire? It's a bit complex to explain so I'm going to tell you my story... the story of when I was twenty-five years old.

I was young and I lived with my parents and my older sister in a village in the countryside of London, life was hard, and at the age of eight I was already helping my parents with the work in the fields, as a peasant and spent hours with my friends. days working on my lord Marcon's land, during that day the sky was perfect, cloudy but with no signs of rain, suddenly it started to wind it was after lunchtime, we were returning to work when a very heavy rain started and with it a constant wind, as it was difficult to pick apples from the apple trees, I and the other peasant women who picked apples took what we picked and took to the barn for daily collections, so we went back to the village. It was a long walk from the countryside to the village, because when the rain and wind started everyone went back there with the carts leaving us behind, rain, wind, mud and tiredness all this was wearing us down more and to help the sun was going. although quickly, in the distance we saw the entrance to the village with its torches lit, but something was strange, there were many torches lit and too much light for a rainy day.

When we arrived in our village, what we witnessed were the scenes, the darkest of our lives, blood on the ground mixing with the mud, several people lying in the mud, formed by the rain, we approached and saw the men with their torn bodies, that left us in a panic, "—Was it him?" in our minds we thought that the person who could do this was him..., even though in our village his name is synonymous with a horror story to be told in front of the fire, the much talked about and frightening Lord Don Vincent, he was described as a tall, handsome man, charming village girls and then disappearing with them, and those girls never returned to their destined families, this was the rumor, but I never thought that someday in my life I would see him in My front.

My village was on fire, the girls who were with me ran to their homes, facing the fear lodged in their minds and I went where I would go as usual, I went to my house, it was not on fire, but when I entered the house saw my mother, father and sister dead on the living room floor, their blood was covering the floor their necks had been cut. In the street I heard Ana Júlia scream “—It's Dom Vincent, he came hungry! Run away girls, run away!”. It was too late, he must have stayed a few hours in my town, it was enough to decimate the whole place! I was hugging my mother's body in tears and listening to the girls' screams, I couldn't separate myself from my dead relatives on the floor, I was scared and cried like a child, the pain was in my heart at that moment, she was so I never thought about running away, I didn't want to leave them there, they were all I had even though I wasn't as loved and undermined as my sister, that's when I saw him, he really was what they said, he was tall, handsome, his gaze was mesmerizing and made me feel somewhere else not in a massacre, he came to me, at this moment that hypnosis fell apart, Vincent took me by the arm tightly making me stand up and let my mother fall from my lap. Compared to him I'm weak, I couldn't let go of his hands, he dragged me to the outside of the house where there was still the light from the torches and the burning houses.

" I found you!"

" Let me go!"

"You will come with me!"

"I'm not going anywhere!"

"It took me hours to find you, you won't run away."

" What you want with me?"

"Will you be a toy or something else..."

"Please let go of me!"

"Do not worry! I'm sure you will live, for all the lives I decimated in this village!"

" Like! - Speak scared."

"This will be my gift to you my young woman, so many will be able to contemplate its beauty over the millennia."
