"Ayleen,listen to mommy okay?.You have to go without mommy and daddy,this time.Be a brave little girl okay!",a middle aged lady said to her daughter in the mist of the chaos.
The girl nodded her head and turned on her heels running."Run!,run! and always remember mommy will always protect you wherever you are", the lady pushed on.Before promptly getting attacked by a serious vampire.Who by the the looks of it seems more of a beast than a creature of reason.
A Vamp'ir ,it bites her neck sucking the life out of her.Then,kicks her like a rugdoll.With her last spark of life, she looks at him.The man who used to be husband,now mindless creature with nothing but blood thirst.She smiles glad to have been able to protect her daughter from this apocalypse , before taking last breath.
Running through the woods, little Ayleen encounters a Vamp'ir. It jumps on her, biting her arm. She kicks it off her, with all her strength.And she starts running with her now bleeding left arm.The creature gets up chasing her with furious speed.She trips on a rock and falls down.With tears in her eyes, as she hears the sound of the creature near .
It growls and screehes walking towards its prey.
Ayleen closes her eyes,and starts to count,"1,2,3,4,5.l...10" with trembling fear gripping her in place.As the Vamp'ir approaches, suddenly she hears a stab!. Almost as if a knife was thrown at at the creature.The creature let's out a loud growl!,falling on little Ayleen.Prompting her to scream!, pushing the dead heavy body of the creature off her.
"If you want to survive come with me.Only the strong have a choice in life.This world does not favour the weak,"and with those words he stretched out his hands towards her.Giving her a choice to accept his help or not.A choice to keep moving forward or to give up and die.
She takes his hands accepting to follow him . The man removes the hood of his cloak , revealing a middle aged man in his 30s. One of his eyes bright red .The girl looked at him in astonishment as he rips a part of his cloak and ties it on her injured arm.
"Alright now, can you walk?" ,he asks. She nods her head unable to speak, out of shock. They hiked through the woods undetected. With him making quick work of any does they encounter. They reach a cottage which seems to be his house. As soon as he lets her in, he begins to properly treat her now opened wound.
"Ouch!",she lets out a cry as he dresses her now opened wound."Don't worry it will only be for a moment. And my name is Dimitri but you can called me pops or whatever you want.",the man said to little Ayleen.
"P-o-ps!, are-you-my-new-daddy?", Ayleen slowly managed to blurt out."No!, little one,you for a while",he replied her.
"Me!?, Ayleen said with puzzled expression. "Yes, you,your blood is special little one.And now my job shall be complete once I had over 'Atronas' .Do you know why your blood is special ?". He said,patting Ayleen on the head.She shakes her head.
"You survived an attack from a Vamp'ir ,and lets not forget you got bitten by it. But you're here alive and breathing with its vernom flowing through you .Any regular human would have died,"Dimitri revealed to her.
"Die-d!?", Ayleen mouthed still confused."Yes,my dear 'died!'. Don't worry you'll understand what I'm saying once you grow up, Dimitri replied. Looking out in the window, scouting the area for danger. He then turns to look at little Ayleen who was scribbling on a paper. She raises her head ,meeting his eyes .
"What are you doing little one?,he asks .she raises the paper to him. Showing a kid like drawing of her mom,dad,and her . With him in the middle. And they all looked happy. Ayleen smiles, beaming proudly over her childish piece of art. Dimitri smiles saying"Oh!, I see. So I'm now a member of your family ehh!"."Yes!, you're my pop-sie", little Ayleen replies him. He looks at her for a sec ,then shakes his head."Alright little one it's time to get some rest. We will be leaving tomorrow, here is not safe. So get some rest",he instructed. With a pouty face,she goes and lies down on the sofa. And eventually falls asleep." I can sense something,but I don't see anything. This could be a trap for all I know, Dimitri contemplates pacing back and forth. Then, decides to go out and check things for himself. He turns and looks at little Ayleen who is fast asleep and shuts the door behind him. He goes into the woods not far from the cottage, trying to sense any danger but finds none. Then, suddenly he hears something something from a far distance." Oh!,no, I knew this was too odd,he blurts out. Turning on his heels back to the cottage. Upon his arrival,he comes in to contact with some Vamp'irs." Uhh!, I should have known better,he exclaims in horror. Getting ready to battle the creatures.
He defeat them all and then,walks to the cottage. But as he reaches for the door handle,his body falters. Sensing weakness in his body." No!",he realizes touching his bleeding wound on his stomach. He collapses to the ground and starts coughing out blood.
Ayleen wakes up on an impulse looking for him. She runs out of the house, feeling frantic. Tears run down her cheek as she spots him laying on the ground,with a pool of blood. She runs to him, then pulls his hand saying," Pop-sie lets go home ". He opens his eyes giving her a weak smile. With the little spark of life he has,he holds her hand. And says," Now listen to me little one, coughing out blood. He pushes on," l can't go home with you. My journey ends here. You could say Atronas is impatient. But I knew from the start,that my road is limited once I took on the task to deliver Atronas. But I'm glad to have been able to meet you."
Ayleen shakes her head, refusing to accept his death." No! Pop-sie can't go,or- little one will- be-all- alone ",she mumbled shakenly. With shaking hands,he pats her head. And tells her," you have to be strong little one. The world does not care about the weak. Promise me that you will grow up to become a strong girl. Promise me that you will fight for what is right. You will find the truth,and end this bloodshed for good,"she nods her head crying. "Take this",he gives her a small black dagger."Your transformation should happen anytime soon. It is only a matter of time. It should have taken longer since you are a kid bitten by a Vamp'ir. Atronas will speed your transformation process into a vampire. Stay-safe-little-one", Dimitri mumbles before drawing his."Pop-sie!, pop-sie!!, little one will-do-whatever- will be good. So don't go. Don't leave little one all alone, little Ayleen cried. Then, suddenly passed out with the dagger in her hands.It suddenly vanishes from her hands leaving it's crest marked on her hand,a black half shaped moon. Her transformation begins. Her skin turns pale,ice cold. Her long black her develops a thin line of silver. Dark circles hung under her eyelids. Almost like a corpse under the bright moonlight.
Suddenly,her eyes shoot open, blood shot red. Almost as if revived, staring deadly into the night sky.
