Summary: Maria and Louise are sisters that are shunned from society. Daniel is a vampire that takes a liking to them and changes Maria and waits for Louise to grow up to change her. However one night she is taken by vampire hunters and her memories are erased.
Louise was almost beside herself when they had arrived at Daniels home.
Actually less of a home and more of a mansion.
“This is just like those picture books!” Louise had gasped as she grabbed Marias hand. “Exactly!”
Maria was smiling as she watched her sister. “I’m glad that you’re happy.” She glanced around. “I’m going to have to say that this is going to be our home for a while.”
“Forever actually.” Daniel added as he walked into the room they were in surrounded by servants. “When a vampire sires another vampire the created with always remain with their sire until the day that we free them and take back our position as maker.”
“How the hell do you take back your position of maker?” Maria asked as Louise had hidden herself behind her elder sister.
“We take back all the responsibilities as maker because we believe that our ‘children’ had learned enough to be independent.” Daniel said. He nodded at the servants and four immediately stepped towards Maria and Louise.
Maria stepped back with her hand on Louise’s shoulder. “What the hell do they want?”
“To serve you.” Daniel said. “They are the vampires that are my servants.”
“Uh huh.” Maria said watching them carefully, one hand around Louise who was still behind her and the other hand going towards the swords still strapped to her sides.
“You have nothing to fear while you are living here.” Daniel said patiently. He looked at Louise. “Neither of you.”
“Now.” he said clapping his hands together. “Shall I show you two to your rooms? They are next to each other.”
“Together.” Maria said. “I don’t want to be apart from my sister.”
Daniel frowned. “I can’t do that.”
“Why not?” Maria hissed.
“You are a newly turned vampire.” Daniel reminded her. “I’m a bit surprised because it seems that you haven’t gotten the urge to drink blood just yet because there is a human right there, your sister, and you haven’t tried to drink from her yet.”
“She’s my sister.” Maria said reminding him. “I would never do anything to hurt her, consciously or unconsciously.”
“Regardless, we don’t want anything to happen and it is better to be safe than sorry.” Daniel said. “For the time being, until I believe that you can control yourself, you will sleep in separate rooms. Next to one another but separate.”
Marias eyes narrowed however she didn’t say anything. It was clear that she was going to disobey the first moment that she was able to.
Daniel sighed and when he spoke this time his voice had a dangerous edge to it. “As your maker I command you, until I say so you and your sister are to sleep in separate rooms.”
He saw Maria freeze and gave a low gasp. Her entire body shook and she closed her eyes. Louise glanced up at her sister concerned.
“Sister?” she asked. “Are you alright?”
“She is just fine.” Daniel said walking towards her and placing his hand on her shoulder. He smiled down at Louise. “Please follow Anna to your room; you can relax there while I take care of your sister.”
Leading Maria through the hallway Daniel lightly pushed her into his office. Closing the door behind him he crossed to his desk where a blood holding a dark red liquid stood with two glasses to the side. He filled one of the glasses and turned towards Maria who was sitting on the chairs watching him carefully.
He handed the glass to Maria who sniffed it once before pulling away in disgust.
“I gave it to you so you could drink it.” Daniel said.
“That is blood.” Maria said. “I am not drinking blood.”
“That is human blood and you will drink it.” Daniel said. “You are a vampire now.”
“I might be a vampire but I am by no means drinking human blood.” Maria said placing the glass to the side. “Tough luck.”
“A vampire newly turned needs to drink blood within the first twenty four hours.” Daniel said as he walked around the desk and sat in his own seat. “If you don’t your mind starts to collapse until nothing insanity remains. Then you will go on a feeding frenzy that will not stop until you are filled completely with human blood. I’ve seen it happen once and the vampire in question killed nearly twenty people before they were stopped.”
Maria was glaring at him.
“You might be in a home filled with vampires,” Daniel continued examining his nails on his left hand. “However you forget, there is one human here. Small and not that much blood to satisfy you even if you drain each and every drop.”
“Never.” Maria whispered.
“It will happen.” Daniel said. “Remember when I had just uttered the words ‘As your maker’?”
Maria nodded.
“As your maker I can make you do anything I want.” Daniel said. “And no matter what I told you to do you would do it. I can even order you to kill your sister and you will do it with no hesitation. You don’t drink that cup of blood willingly then I will order you to do it.”
Maria didn’t move, she merely increased her glare at Daniel.
Daniel sighed. “Maria, as your maker I command you. Drink the blood in the glass.”
Moving with lightning fast reflexes Maria had grabbed the glass and downed the contents in gulps without spilling a single drop. Her eyes widened as she realized what she had done.
“Good.” Daniel said nodding as he rummaged through his desk until he found a necklace, a black iron cross and placed it on the desk. His hand lit up with magic as he placed his hand over the necklace. “Perhaps now that you got the taste you won’t be so hesitant next time to do it on your own.”
“I hate you.” she whispered. “I fucking hate it.”
“Crude language does nothing for you.” Daniel said his attention still focused on the necklace. “Loss of freedom however small does intend to rub people the wrong way occasionally.”
“What are you doing?” Maria demanded. “Why did you bring us here?”
“I brought you here because I am your sire.” Daniel reminded her. “I am responsible for you.”
“And my sister?” Maria demanded. “She’s not a vampire.”
“Yet.” Daniel said his hand waving over the necklace. The black color seemed to glow and deepen at the same time.
If possible Maria’s face paled. “What?”
“I don’t think you would want to live without your sister, and as a vampire you are now immortal.” Daniel said glancing up at her. “You don’t need to look so scared; I’m not going to hurt her.”
“Then what are you going to do?” Maria asked.
“Wait for her to get older, perhaps around eighteen or nineteen.” Daniel said thoughtfully. “Until then teach her whatever she needs to know. And once she is eighteen or whatever the age that is selected for her I will turn her into a vampire.”
“I want to do it.” Maria said.
Daniel shook his head. “A vampire cannot turn others until they reach one hundred years.”
Suddenly a scream echoed through the mansion. A child’s scream.
“Louise!” Maria yelled jumping to her feet and running out. Daniel scooped the necklace into his hands and followed her.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Daniel entered the bedroom where Maria was holding Louise on her lap and was whispering words of comfort to her.
“What happened?” he asked softly.
Maria looked up at him with accusing eyes. “One of your servants, Anna or whatever her name was, attacked and tried to drain my little sister.” she said. “She only got away because I taught her how to fight.”
“I’m sorry.” Daniel said kneeling in front of Louise. “I didn’t mean for this to happen.”
Louise tightened her grip on her sister.
Daniel pulled a necklace; the black iron cross that he had been working on with his magic on his desk, out from his pocket. “I have something for you. a special necklace.” He held it in his palm as Louise looked at it. “I placed a part of my own magic in here to create a protective charm. No vampire other than myself and if you sister can control herself, which will only happen when I say so, can touch you.”
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Maria was screaming as she threw herself at the shields. She clawed at the invisible barrier ignoring how her hands and skin burned at the contact.
“Louise.” Maria screamed. “Louise!”
There was no answer from the unconscious child as the vampire hunters carried her away.
“Cowards.” Daniel coughed as he stood on shaking legs. He glanced around. “Complete cowards.”
“Do something.” Maria screamed at him. “Do something.”
“This is human magic, vampire magic has no effect on it.” Daniel said. “All we can do it wait for it to fade.”
“They are taking my sister!” Maria screamed. “And you just want me to sit and wait?”
“Your sister is also human.” Daniel said, trying to comfort her. “They do not harm humans regardless of who is raising them.”
“Then what are they going to do to her?” Maria asked.
“I don’t know.” Daniel said. He quickly added “But I do know who will know.”
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
“There.” Daniel said nodding with his hand towards the hut sitting in the middle of the forest. “That is where the Healer Arthur Kirkland lives, he will know what the hunters want to do with your sister.”
“Kirkland.” Daniel said walking briskly into the hut. “I have business with you.”
Arthur looked up wearily at Daniel. “What can I do for you Daniel?”
“My sister was taken by those vampire hunters.” Maria said coming into the hut. “She wasn’t a vampire, not even one drop. One hundred percent human. What are they going to do to her?”
Arthur gave her a mournful look. “Are you two orphans?”
Maria nodded.
“Then there is nothing you can do for her.” Arthur said turning back to his bottles that were on the shelves.
Maria snarled and reached out to grab Arthur by the shoulder and turned him to face her.
“Don’t you are dare tell me there is nothing we can do and expect me to accept that.” she hissed. “There is always something that can be done.”
Arthur sighed and sat on the stool next to the table. Looking up at the ceiling he said “The Bringers of Light, as the hunters of the children of the night call themselves, favor orphans, especially when they are very young, above all. Because they have no one to restrict what they could do with children. Parents can at any point tell them to stop the teachings if they feel the lessons went too far. Orphans however the lessons may go to breaking point and no one would speak for them.”
He looked Maria in the eyes. “Because there is no one watching over the lessons. The teacher. Orphans are sent to the ice filled lands of the north to be taught by Ivan Braginsky, the devil encased in ice.”
Daniel took a sharp breath. “Sending children to learn from him? Hey are being sent to their deaths!”
“Some, most actually, do die.” Arthur said. He idly played with the ring of his finger. “The children that are sent are very young. The youngest person there that had ever been there was I believe three months and the eldest child was about ten years. These children either barely survive, die, or end up begging for death. As for those who survive, they are never truly normal again. Their minds are cracked and their bodies nearly undestroyable.”
“What does he do to them?” Daniel asked.
“He destroys them.” Arthur said still staring at his ring. “Mentally, emotionally, physically. He breaks them down completely and with the remains he rebuilds them into what he desires.”
“He will torture the children to the brink of insanity, and by torture I mean rough and blood filled torture, and leave it to them if they crawl back or if they plunge into insanity.” Arthur continued. “He even leaves the tools for suicide in the open should the children decide to take that route.”
“This man is a monster.” Maria whispered. “Why do they let this happen?”
“I will repeat myself. Because they are orphans.” Arthur said. “No sane parent would allow their child to go to his man. However these children do not have parents to speak for them.”
“Oh god.” Maria whimpered. “Oh god.”
“No.” Arthur said turning back to his work. “God has nothing to do with this.”
“And before you believe that she will hold onto the belief that you will rescue her. Don’t believe it.” Arthur said. “The Association has magic that can erase and remake a person’s memories. A child’s mind is easy to remodel.”
