Maria

A short and small-boned woman, with black hair and a slight olive tone to her pale skin, denoting a darker skin pigmentation proving her Mexican descent, was looking at this scene. She thought 'this isn't bad at least now he would not go into a frenzy to find food'.

Jasper opened his eyes feeling parched he saw Simon, who staring into the oblivion with tears streaming down his cheeks completely detached from this world. His eyes darted to Simon's neck which caused his thirst to increase exponentially and without thinking he sunk his fangs into it.

Simon was brought out of his stupor by the pain he felt only to see Jasper biting as hard as he could into his neck. He felt his body getting weaker he knew that if nothing happened to stop it he would surely die but he still didn't do anything as he didn't consider his life with living anymore and only screamed out when the pain became unbearable.

Jasper felt euphoria feeling blood go down his throat. He was getting drunk on it. Then he felt something foreign enter his mind it was sadness, helplessness and surrender with a tint of betrayal. He fell out of his euphoric state and paid attention to what was happening which caused him to stare at the scene in horror. He was biting the person who was as close to him as a little brother. He overpowered his desire and broke away from Simon's neck.

"No. No. What have I done? What kind of monster have I become?"

Simon fell on the ground face first and became unconscious.

The mexican woman looked at this scene with a shocked face she had never expected that a newborn would overpower his desire for blood and take out his fangs from his prey.

Jasper started to recount what happened to him to get a better overview of his situation he remembered how he had been caught by a woman and brought here. He saw the woman emerging and felt sadness and grief originating from her.

Jasper wanted to attack her as soon as he saw her but the external stimuli made him reluctant to do so. The woman introduced herself, "I am Maria, a vampire."

Jasper was speechless weren't vampire just supposed to be a fantasy monster how could there be a real one he thought the woman was messing around with him but the thought that the woman had kidnapped him, how he had fed on Simon's blood just a moment ago and most of all the feeling of trust he got towards the woman made him think otherwise. "Like the one's in those novels that were used to scare children?"

"A poor comparison but yes."

"What did you do to me? I am feeling as if I haven't drunk anything for a year but I can feel that water or any other thing would useless the only thing to help quench my thirst is blood? And why am I feeling your emotions?"

"I turned you into a vampire because I was lonely and needed help. As for your thirst it is because you have not feed properly yet a newborn vampire had great thirst and there is a quick need to quench before they lose their mind. About you feeling emotions I can only see it as your vampire gift that we get when we are converted into vampires. Like mine is that I have self control I can easily fight against my desires. That is how I believe you fought your desire to feed on that boy because newborns not draining the blood of their prey is unheard of."

Jasper turned to look at Simon and asked, "What will happen to him?"

"He'll most likely turn into a vampire seeing that you didn't drain him of all his blood which means that your venom has infected him. Don't worry too much he'll wake up in a few minutes just like you did."

Jasper looked at Simon who's skin was turning pale and body growing cold. He sighed in relief in his heart 'at least I didn't kill him .... if vampires can be considered as living'.

"So what now? You said that you needed help with what?"

"Since I turned you into a vampire you are part of my coven now. And I needed help because my previous coven was massacred by others even though all they wanted was to live in peace. I want your help in getting revenge for them after all you are now a part of my coven."

Jasper frowned inwardly he did indeed feel a sense of familiarity which he attributed to the fact that she was the one who had turned him but feel as if it was absolutely necessary to follow her. He had also realized he had gotten out of war of humans just to become a part of a war of monsters.

"We'll continue our talk later on. Right now we need to feed you and your friend before you lose your minds."

Jasper looked at Simon and realized that Simon had already opened his eyes but they were bright red instead of his usual black eyes.
