Essance of Life

Mid Winter in the year of 20211

What is the essence of life...why are we born and why do we die? Why live if we are to die. I have pondered that question many years for now, and still...no answer to my questions. Some of you may think I'm just one of those what's the word Emo children, possibly teenagers going through one of their many phases in search to find out who they are and where they belong in the world by making themselves fit in with a certain crowd, like an experiment to see which group fits them most. Oh how very wrong you are. I am far more than a human...I'm the walking dead...an immortal....what mankind fears most. 2

Vampires.3

We are the immortals that hide in the shadows, come out during the night to hunt down poor defenseless humans...well that was what my teacher taught me some odd millennium ago...hnn now I do the opposite of what he taught me. Though I still come out at night I prefer to not stay hidden I rather like these humans. 4

Oh Pardon me for not introducing myself I am Lady Celina....Icelina is my true name Icelina Myrid age seventeen when I was made by my master, At the time I was the daughter of a rich British tycoon and one of seven girls in the family I was the polite one, always listening to my father I took Violin,Piano dancing and various forms of art and literature.I have curly chestnut brown hair that I keep tied back with a green ribbon, my eyes are a deep green like the pretty green of those winter evergreens. The trees that never seem to lose their color, and my once cream colored skin is now pale...one of the downsides that come to being the walking dead.5

Now....onto the man who made me, My master Lucian A kind man born in the mid 18th, possibly 19th century. I wouldn't know he has never answered and has yet to answer to how old he is. He has deep black hair and shadowed cold gray eyes...but around me his eyes are kind, and gentle and warm. Like a mother comforting a child.6

Master Lucian and I are a family and though I cannot physically bear him a child we are in the process of finding someone to be our child. I feel a sudden spike in the back of my head...Master Lucian's presence. Ah he has returned I am thrilled to say the least as I get up and run down to the lower levels of our castle as I run into his arms and he embraces me with his strong arms.7

"Master." I say softly as I nuzzle him. 8

Master Lucian gives me a gentle hug as we share a kiss and we walk off to the fountain together. Oh yes...my teacher....well let's not get into him I am not fond of him now and talking about him will only make my blood boil. 9

Well I guess I should tell you about my life and How I became A vampire shouldn't I? Well if you decide to stick around I may tell you more about myself and my life But if you don't....well you'll only know what I've told you. But I'll leave you with this.10

Are you brave enough and curious enough to learn about an immortal like myself?

    I love your begining, I thought it was intresting how you started off with a question on life and eased into emo childern, then vampires... Although the ending doesn't draw me in enough... and the description about her eyes being 'deep green like the trees', maybe you could elaborate on that more... like what kind of tree, trees have so many colors... is it like trees in the spring, in the summer...? anyways... keep writing.

    Commented earlier.

    But gave the Comment before you joined the Theatre de Vampires, so I wanted to give this in order for it to show up on the Reading List Stories that I gave a comment.

    The Vampire Family.

    Wanting a family is a univeral feeling and desire. Even in the world of the undead it seems that some of them desire family units. It will be interesting to see how you obtain the child or children as the story develops. I have read about ya story with Herucles. Seems you are a mother kinda of writer. We can write anything we desire and in words have everything we want. I think this is the best magic.
