replied quietly. With the way the human kept surprising her, the vampire was growing more and more uncertain about what she was going to do. Less than 24 hours ago, she was willing to die, to take her own life and end the existence that was known as Vayna Chronos. But now that Sage came into her life, she found herself less and less likely to go through with that. She found herself wanting to keep the human close to her side, which was a dangerous thing. The last time she tried keeping someone close to her… mentally shaking her head, she said, “Have your recalled anything?”
Sage wanted to ask what she meant by what she said, but didn’t dare. The vampire would tell her in time, she imagined. Pulling her hand back, she turned and looked out over the park toward the city. Silently shaking her head, she said, “I was distracted by a beautiful vampire’s wings.”
Vayna tsked lightly as she shook her own head. A beautiful vampire’s wings? She hardly doubted that. She gently nudged her human’s shoulder as she said, “Well, a pretty little human like you shouldn’t let a big old vampire like me distract you.”
Sage burst out laughing. Let her distract her? It wasn’t her fault that her vampire had such beautiful wings! She stuck her tongue out at Vayna before saying, “Oh, yes, because I let you distract me with your wings. And you’re quite beautiful for being an old vampire.”
Vayna chuckled at the immature action of her human and she shook her head. It was a strange feeling for her. She hadn’t felt this young in quite a long time, if ever. She could hardly remember being this carefree in the millenniums that she was alive. Of course, there were fewer things for her to worry about in this day and age. She could easily remember the vampire scare back in the 1800’s. People went around digging up graves and staking corpses. It was rather hard for her kind back then, let alone her. People were more suspicious of their neighbors than they were now. Especially if said neighbors didn’t age. She could remember more than one torch bearing, pitchfork wielding mob chasing after her back in those days. Nowadays, humans were always looking for ways to become younger, so it wasn’t as noticeable if someone still looked young. And with her owning the whole building where she lived, it wasn’t quite as big of a deal.
Ah … those were the days. One could have a quick nip of a local prostitute’s blood and cause mass hysteria. She generally tried to avoid causing hysteria back in those days. Usually her victim would still be up and walking around when she finished with them, none the wiser of what happened. That was one of the benefits of being a vampire. The ability to hypnotize one’s victim so they wouldn’t remember what happened to them afterwards. Of course, she didn’t have a problem finding willing donors either. With her unearthly beauty, it was quite easy to lure a willing woman into her arms. She sipped on some of the royalist blood in Europe by just using her charms, including several Pharaohs and princesses. Not that the blood tasted any better. If anything, it sometimes tasted worse than the commoner. But she wouldn’t admit that to any royal.
The two sat on the branch in silence for almost 2 hours. A light breeze picked up and flowed through the trees, making Vayna’s hair wave in the wind. Her mind was drifting in between memories and thoughts when she felt Sage lean against her. Looking down, she smiled in amusement to see the young human almost asleep. Wrapping her arm around her waist, she murmured, “Do you remember anything?”
Sage shook her head slightly, the warmth of the breeze and the comfort of her vampire next to her made her want to fall asleep. She truly didn’t remember anything in the time they were sitting up there. Her mind kept thinking about her vampire and what was going to happen in the future, not her past. She wasn’t sure she even wanted to remember her past. What
