Joss's History Part One "Shhhhhh..... Do not cry, young one." Lafyee spoke in a soothing whisper, his voice as soft as velvet. I could not hold in the pain, I screamed and didn't stop. My veins were on fire! "OH GOD, KILL ME!!! JESUS, MY LORD, HAVE MERCY ON YOUR BEGOTTEN SON!!" Lafyee held me down and smoothed my blonde hair, out of my eyes. He caressed my cheek and spoke again in a soothing whisper, "Shhhh... My dear boy. After the pain subsides, we will be angels. Beautiful, cunning, and able to live forever." I quited after that, seeing as there was no point in screaming. The pain was unbearable ,but I stayed completely silent for three days. After the time had passed, I opened my deep red eyes. The world was so much cleaered and defined. My human eyes were flawed, and I realized I missed so much. My body wasn't sore, I could feel the raw power flowing in my new muscles. I got up and spoke in a strong, sure voice, "My name is Joss. And I am.... ALIVE." It was 1754, and I was nineteen. My new life had begun. In 1754, England was the place to be. She was at the height of her wealth and controlled almost one-fourth of the world. Britian was a very rich country and many of her citizens were rich. Before I was turned into a creature of the night, I was in the middle class. My parents were merchants, my father a former Captian of the Royal Navy. We had a good simple life. I had started following into my parents profession when I turned eighteen. I had hoped to find a wife, and settle down. I wanted children, the whole family life. But, as you know, my plans were interrupted by Lafyee. It was on the dark night of October 31, All Hollows's Eve, 1754, I gave up all of my dreams, my plans, my family, my whole life...... At first I thought, I was a God, a Fallen Angel. I realized quickly, I was wrong. My name was Joss, and I hated what had been done to me. But, it wasn't until the 1760's, that I broke free of Lafyee's control, or what he liked to call "friendship". At first, I realized he was all I had. I knew nothing of this new and mysterious life. Lafyee helped me understand everything. He taught me how to blend into everyday human life, without being suspected. He taught how to hunt, and how to control my hunger. In many ways he was my teacher, and I almost worshipped the ground he walked on. Layfee and I lived in Liverpool, England and it was a time of my blissful, oblivous youth. Lafyee did not just teach me vampire things, but human studies as well. He taught me to read, write and speak many other languages. By the time of 1763, I could speak, English, Spanish, French, German, and Italian. I enjoyed learning, and I soaked up knowledge, like a sponge. In no time at all, I had mastered my vampire side as well. I could blend in with humans, almost as easily as I could control my hunger around them. I still don't regret my time with Lafyee, but at the time, I was ready to move on. In... I think it as 1767, I killed Lafyee and burned his body. My only companion was dead and in a way, I was free. Free to go wherever,and be whatever I wanted to be. For almost one-hundred years, I wandered around Europe, hoping to find a mate, or even a mere companion. It was a lonely time for me. I ate the leftover humans from the constant wars that ravaged Europe. Every night, a fine meal. But, to my surprise, I grew tired of even eating humans. I thought it was wrong... And even now, I don't do it often. But at least then, I could claim, I was saving them.... Wars back then were the worst in history, at in my opinion. Sometimes, I would even serve for Her Majesty's, Royal Navy, I was so bored with my existence. There I learned, maybe it was better not to be human. It has scarred me.... It was also, around that time, I devolped my, mind reading powers. It was humorous, in a way. I discovered it, by answering people's thoughts, instead of thier words. By the year of 1850, I had traveled almost all of Europe, except a tiny island named Malta, and witnessed some of history's turning points. I studied the campaigns of Napoleon Bonaparte, in person. I witnessed his rise and defeat with my own two eyes. I saw great techological advances, like the railroad, unfurl and change the average life of an Europeon... But I was lonely... So ever lonely. I had only met a handful of vampires on my travels, and almost all of them, hostile. I just wanted, a friend, a companion. It almost made me regret killing Lafyee. But the year of 1850, changed my whole existence. I found Europe to be so crowded, and too civilized, so one day, I just went upon a boat the New World. (Maybe it wasn't so new at that time.) I was surprised at its vastness. So, much unsettled, land. I planned to move to the west part of the United States, and start a new life. So, after a few months at sea, I landed in the port of New Orleans... It was a strange city, and I liked it. The whole culture fascinated me. So I actually ended staying there for a few years.... That was probably the biggest mistake of my whole existence. One dark night, in the French Quarter, I was just walking around, seeing the night life... I knew something was wrong... I could hear strange thoughts like, "He has no idea," "The fool doesn't expect a thing", "He's ours.." I assumed, the thoughts were of humans, just being humans. Thats when I heard footsteps all around me. Six vampires, surronded me. There was no escape, and no way I could fight my way out. Edited by Asking For It, Jul 11 2012, 01:34 PM.

Joss's History Part Two My captors took me to an abandoned planition house on the outskirts of New Orleans. For the first time in my existence I wish I could sleep, so I could have some break to my torture. They took turns holding me down and ripping my body parts from thier proper places. The bastards mocked me and called me a jigsaw puzzle. My chest still has the scars of when they all bit me, and I had to stay completely still or they would destroy me.
