Dear diary, I just woke from the strangest dream. Mischievous blue eyes staring at me between the trees, the yellow moon casting shadows, hiding the owner of the sparkling blue orbs. Wolves howling in the night. It wasn’t a nightmare, but my dead heart was racing. I woke up in a sweat, still, a sense of calm washed over me. I do not understand this dream, maybe I should tell the others about it. But I don’t really feel like sharing it. I’ll just have to see during the night, it’s probably just a dream like all others.
*******
21 years of the vampire life, I sigh to myself as I slip further down in the warm water. Letting it soak my hair as it envelopes my whole body. Staring up through the surface of the sparkling water, my eyesight turning a bit blurry but I can still make out the surroundings in my bathroom. The flickering flames of the candles littering every flat surface. Closing my eyes as I lay comfortably at the bottom at the tub, I feel the steaming hot rosewater soothing my muscles. Not having to breathe, I let myself fall into a slumber. *The eyes were back, a giggle breaking through the silence before the wolves surrounding me started to howl, eyes of all colors daring me to make a move. The blue orbs winking at me, daring me to follow as they fly through the trees. Branches hitting me, slashing at my arms and face as I fly through the deep dark woods. Blue orbs taunting me as I catch a wicked smile playing over pink lips as the moon breaks through the branches. The sky blue eyes suddenly lowering, closer to the ground, a purple ring lining them. A new howl breaking through the forest as the moon shines brighter. Brown fur, a wolf creeping towards me, never threatening. A mischievous look in its eyes as it tilts its head, sharp canines glimmering in the moonlight and tongue hanging out. Another sharp howl piercing the night having the other wolves assemble behind it. Curious glances all around. *
Startled awake by my bathroom door opening with a loud bang I sit upright in the tub. My hair sticking to my face and back, the candles in the room flickering at the sudden movements. Blinking my eyes furiously to clear them after soaking in the water. My sight settling on the slender redhead sitting casually on the edge of my tub. “some day you’re going to freak someone out by staying under water for so long Ville!” Gee laughs, winking at me. The wicked gleam in his eyes causing me to giggle as I rise from the soothing water, the smell of rose petals in the room assaulting my senses. Bringing back memories of my long lost mother. Standing up at my full height with water cascading down my slender naked body, I had to snicker at the reaction it brought. Gees face turning crimson red as always. “aaaaaw! Baby brother still blushing over the smallest things! You’re still too shy and innocent for your own good sweetheart!” I laugh, walking over to the soft towel hanging on the door. Wrapping it around my hips casually, finally looking a bit more modest. To gees huge relief. His cheeks still sporting a pink tint. “I’m never going to get used to your disregard for proper clothes! Hell, last night the Rev were crawling around the hallways naked as the day he was born! I think I’m going blind some day!” He giggles shyly, looking down at his hands. His self esteem the same as the first day we met, it’s quite fascinating to be honest! The incubus side should have cured him of that shyness around us, considering his sassy attitude and behavior around mere humans! The kid had people following him around, staring at him and almost throwing themselves at him every time he visits the village! His cocky smile and swaying hips putting them all in a trance! The kid probably just need a few more years to stew, the incubus side of him does get more noticeable as time flies by after all! “So, what did you want sweetheart? Why did you find your way to my bath? I was quite enjoying the dream I was having!” I laugh softly, shimmying into my too tight leather pants before I start looking for my new sheer scarf. The old one in tatters after years of use. “I was told to get you. We’re gathering earlier than usual, something has happened. And by the look on Harms face, it’s not good news!” A shiver running down my spine at his words. His eyes meeting mine as I look back at my mirror, reaching for my eyeliner and smudge it around my eyes. “We better go the, I’m ready” The both of us heading for the great hall, a sense of doom cluttering my thoughts as the fluttering shadows quiet down, not as much as a whisper to be heard.
********
As we slide down into our chairs at the table, I notice a man standing at Harms side. A sad and serious look on his face, his features familiar. Harms raising his hand to quiet us all, killing the worried chatter around the table. “There’s things happening in the village that affects us all. This young man over here found his courage to come warn us. Now child, tell them all what you told me!”
“You all probably don’t remember me, my brother used to work here as a servant many years ago. He was the one who told me about you all, the day he told me and my brothers to capture living creatures to bring here. You were always kind to us, feeding and clothing us. And as a thank you I wanted to warn you all. There’s been problems surfacing in the village. Your father, Ville, is quite ill! His mind clouded by old age, words spilling from his lips for people to hear. Muttering and cursing about vampires taking his son away, of dead people walking amongst us. Cold and heartless, killing in the night. I know there’s truth to his words, but I also know that you are not ruthless killers. I know you only hunt those who do evil, but the villagers… They refuse to see the truth, they’re gathering as we speak. Silver crosses and sharpened knives in their hands. And they will be here soon. I had to warn you all before it was to late!” Looking at the others I could see the fear in their eyes, Christ and Gee seeking refuge against my chest while I hold them tight and secure in my arms. Some habits never change, stroking their backs soothingly to try and calm them down as I look to Harms. “What do we do?” I ask softly, his eyebrows furrowing in thought. “We cant stay here any longer, I will not have my brothers harmed by puny humans” I spit out, anger starting to take the place of fear. “And they will not, we leave this very moment. Go to your rooms, gather your most loved possessions and meet me by the entrance in five minutes!” Harms jumping into action as a leader should. All of us rising from our well known spots around the table before we shoot off down the hallways. All I need is my diary, and my wifebeater and shoes. Grabbing an old backpack used for hunting I show it all inside, also collecting a few weapons along the way, you never know what could happen! Running back down to meet the others, I can see the shadows gathering in the hallways, all of them floating towards the same goal as me. The fearful whispers gaining more volume as they follow in my footsteps. Leaping down the last flight of stairs in my hurry to rejoin the others I catch a glimpse of torches through one of the windows. A snake of fire and destruction making its way towards us. “they’re almost here!” I shout out as I see the others by the door, scared faces turning towards me as I come to a quick halt in front of them. A whimper escaping Christ as he looks to the door, eyes big and pupils dilated into black pools of fear. “What are we going to do, run or fight?” I ask as I look to Harms. My anger at the stupid humans rising as the smell of fear assault my senses. “We run! A fight would be futile, the humans will never stop hunting us.” Harms speaks calmly, looking at us all gathered around him. “Now, everyone has what they need? Then lets go!” All of us nodding in response as he opens the door, shooing us all out before him. We start walking towards the woods, the dark shadows our friend in the night. Our vision not a hinder in the darkness, but a blessing that the humans have not. The torches in the distance creeping closer by the second, angry voices and the smell of burning wood carried by the wind. Picking up the pace as we close in on the forest a shudder of fear runs down my spine. Hurrying the others along as the angry voices grow closer, the heavy footsteps of the humans getting louder by the second as we take refuge underneath the trees, the shadows covering us I a cloak of security. A treacherous feeling as we’re still in harms way, hurrying along the pathways we know by heart careful of where we step to not make any unnecessary sounds. “Where’s Harms?” The panic hits me as the others stop dead in their tracks, our creator no more amongst us. “Did anyone see him follow us?” I whisper harshly, the only answer being the others shaking their heads no. “He wouldn’t want us to linger here, lets run to the top of the hill, at least we can see what’s happening down there!” Shadows speaks, his voice barely a whisper. I take off running. My brothers following closely as I hurry up the steep hill, the path barely visible no the naked eye even though it is well used. Finally at the top I come to a halt, fearing what sight may meet us as I slowly turn around. My eyes seeking our creator and father in the surroundings of our deserted home. “I cant see him! He must be here somewhere!” Syn growls, the fear in his voice making the smaller ones cling to my sides. “There! On the rooftop!” The Rev barks out, his eyes wide with fright. He’s right. There he is, taunting the humans on the ground beneath him. His vampire features on full display, fangs elongated and bared for them all to see. “He’s sacrificing himself to buy us more time!” I cry out, a hollow feeling of sorrow settling in my chest at the thought. “Why would he do that? He knows we need him with us!” “Because he loves us.” V states, his face suddenly freezing in shock. “Look over there, that’s the reason! He must have sensed them coming! It’s the hunters!” He chokes out while pointing to tree heavily armed men at the front of the crowd. Their weapons glimmering deadly in the torchlight as the walk steadily towards the caste doors. The sneers on their faces visible to us as the flaming light dances around them, eyes fixed on the fair haired creature on the roof spitting words of blasphemy at them all. The crowd gaining on the castle, huddled together as the sheep they are, the wind carrying their chanting voices to our ears. “Burn it down, burn it all, kill the demons!” The hunters reaching out, grabbing the torches closest to them before throwing them up on the roof. The flickering flames grabbing a hold of the old wood in seconds. My stomach turn at the sight and I have to bite back the tears pressing on behind my eyes. The feeling of my heart breaking for yet another father tearing through my whole body. The figure we all know and love on the roof turning towards us with a smile, sitting down slowly as the flames tear through the dry wood. Nodding at us to go on, to run before it’s too late. I cant do anything but nod back, a mask of determination on my face as I start walking away, motioning for the others to follow me further away. The somber deep voice we all love and cherish breaking through the darkness as we carry on.
I don't wanna see and I don't wanna hear
The shadow of the arriving bat
Please don't release me when you see me falling
Into the moaning grounds of death
I will disband – My heart in your hands
Will you tell me – See you soon in a while
When my eyes fade please give me your smile
And even dark nights are ending in dawn
You'll have time to cry when I'm gone
Devour me and fill my heart with courage
Give me wings and camouflage the scar
Rip out my lungs and kill my fever
Bring me back to the alluring grounds of love
I will disband – My heart in your hands
Will you tell me – See you soon in a while
When my eyes fade please give me your smile
And even dark nights are ending in dawn
You'll have time to cry when I'm gone
This is not farewell this is only good bye
When my lips fade please kiss them good night
But even bright days are starting in dawn
You'll have time to cry when I'm gone
All the happy faces – And memories are killing me
Am I already dreaming
Please tell me that I only sleep...
Close the circle, come to an end
Metamorphosis begins
Please hold your promise and let me forsake
Metanoia and the laughing grounds of hate
Will you tell me – See you soon in a while
When my eyes fade please give me your smile
And even dark nights are ending in dawn
You'll have time to cry when I'm gone
This is not farewell this is only good bye
When my lips fade please kiss them good night
But even bright days are starting in dawn
You'll have time to cry when I'm
See you soon in a while
When my eyes fade please give me your smile
And even dark nights are ending in dawn
You'll have time to cry when I'm gone
The words soothing our hearts as they hit us… Harms telling us all it will be ok with one last song as the flames brighten up the night sky. The last thing we hear as the forest cover us completely from prying human eyes. The roof of our home collapsing as the flames devour it completely.
Putting on a brave face to hide my fear and sorrow I turn to the others. Their eyes clouded over, hopelessly staring over their shoulders towards the place we used to call home. “Come now, we need to go. It’s what he would want us to do, we need to find shelter before dawn.” Pulling the two smallest ones to my side I start leading them away. The others following close behind, the lost souls we all know so well fluttering around us. Creating a cover of darkness to keep us all safe, I guess we’re the ones to care for them now. Turning my eyes to the sky while I fight back the tears, the only thought in my head about Harms finally being reunited with his soulmate. Wherever they may be.

We were running for our lives, flying through unknown woods and tiny villages as fast as we could to put as much distance between us and the hunters as possible. Our group only visible as fleeting shadows in the darkness. I could feel the warning prickle on my skin, telling me to find cover before the evil rays of the sun burns us all. My fear of my family getting hurt urging me along, eyes scanning my surroundings for somewhere safe to wait out the day. All my prayers to the dark forces answered as I spot a possibility. An old cave, most likely the winter home of a bear, looking like it will fit us all. “Come on sweethearts, get inside! We haven’t got much time left!” I motion for them all to follow me, turning to Syn and Shadows for help. “We need to cover the entrance, help me gather branches and whatever you can find! We need to keep the others safe!” My voice steady as I speak, not faltering a bit or showing any sign of emotion. I don’t know why, but for some reason they all just let me take charge. A role I really don’t like, but I’m willing to take it to keep them all from harms way. Running up to the nearest tree I start breaking of the bigger branches, carrying them to the entrance and lean them against the side. The other two following my example quickly, shadows rolling a huge boulder in front to cover it halfway. Leaving just enough room for us to squeeze through and cover the rest from the inside. Slithering through the opening just before the sun peeks through the clouds and fog of the morning, we all huddle together in the far back of the cave. The tight space forcing us together, our backs against the humid walls as the smaller ones curled together on our legs and laps. Tired eyes looking at us for reassurance as the pitch black darkness surrounds us, the moisture in the dirt floors seeping through our clothes. I believe this to be what it feels like to be buried alive, cold and damp, the smell of dirt and rotting plant life assaulting our noses. “Sleep now darlings, you need your strength! We need to keep going as soon as night falls again!” I whisper softly, all of us huddling closer together for comfort as the sun knocks us out cold. A deep slumber taking us to a different time, the horrors of the night forgotten at the moment.
