Who I am...

I suppose I should start at the begining. I'm a vampire first and foremost. My human life began in 12th century England. I came from a middle class family. For our time we worked hard to keep our position though we weren't in the upper class we certaintly weren't peasants. I was the youngest in the family and while I was made to hold my own and learn the things a woman of my time was made to learn the responsibility of moving up my station in life. However most of the responsibility fell on to the shoulders of my sister Sun.

Sun was engaged to a man a bit wealthier than us & her marriage to him would have meant great things for our family. Our father was rather pleased with this match and then there really was no such thing as marrying for love. She accepted this engagement/betrothal out of responsibility to her family to us. I can't say I was fond of this soon to be new member but as the youngest I never paid that much attention. I just knew that eventually my time would come & it was. Sun at 25 was considered an old maid. Most women were married in their early teens with a home full of children. You could say she was  burden to our parent's & when she wasn't around it became clear to me that my parent's were a bit disappointed that it had taken so long & with me they were trying to find a right match though one hadn't been found yet.

One night Sun went out with her betrothed and never returned.  My parent's thought she ran away to elope which was a bit unheard of but that was Sun. I was 23 and soon the responsibility of marrying me off became even more important. I met different men from other towns from families who were much better off than ours. Noone caught my eye though I never would said this to my parent's. Women did not voice their opinions. They accepted what was given.

Fast forward 2 years later at 25 & still no betrothal in sight a tragedy befell my family. An assailant whom I don't remember much found his way into our home which of course then were no locks like in the present day and killed my parent's & left me for dead. It was around that time that Sun returned & found me still alive barely & before I knew it she was biting my neck & then offering me her wrist in return. Not knowing what was really happening as my sister I took her wrist and drank. 3 days/nights later I awake in a grave with her & asked her what happened. This is when I learned she had been made vampire and she couldn't bear to lose me as we had just lost our parent's.

So for the last 7 centuries we kept our existence hidden as vampires weren't out in the open. We're as close as 2 sisters can be but there is an underlying animosity for reasons that are only known to us.

As vampires in the modern day we live in Shreveport Lousiana. That is where we call home now.

Follow my journey, Suns journey. Things aren't always what they seem.
