Chapter Text
People always said there was a light at the end of the tunnel. That things always got better. But when your body burned to high heaven and every second felt like you were being tortured you stopped believing in that. You begged for death. Prayed for death. You would do anything to make it stop and nothing she did would make it stop. She was stuck like that for three days though she would argue it was three years. She was never quite good at handling pain. Not the pain of herself and not the pain of others.
Even a hundred years later sometimes she swore she could feel the burn through her lifeless veins.
Then she was just left to remember how euphoric it was to wake up. That one moment of pure peace. Only to look around and see everything. How actually stunning the world was. How a single blade of grass was enough to move her to tears.
And then she heard it. A steady drum. A smell so tempting and before her mind could process it she was already running and she only had enough sense of mind to register someone underneath her seconds before she plunged her teeth into their neck.
Her first kill she couldn't tell you if they were male or female. If they were blonde or brunette. If they were young or old. She could tell you their blood was sweet and rich. She could tell you her sire yanked her off the body only to show her within seconds how to dispose of it before yanking her into a closed room to explain the rules to her. It was only then she slowly started to understand.
One. She was a vampire.
Two. Human blood was amazing.
Three. Her senses were enhanced.
Four. If she made a scene someone would kill her.
Five. She was immortal.
Six. Her name was Olivia Emma Masen.
