Curious

[annaanger]

Anna sighed. "If I knew what that meant I'm sure it would make sence..." she said, and looked around. She looked at him and smiled lightley. "But, it makes me wonder why you chose immortality in the first place? I'm not one tp pry, but I think you're interesting..."

[*Vladimir Verencroft]

"what i mean is the colder someone is the more of life they have seen, and are closer to death by their age, so they realize that it is better to be cold then to get depressed every time someone you knows dies."He explained and then said"why i chose immortality? I really don't know, it may have been that both my parents were dead at the time of my birth, my father died before i was born and my mother died in child birth, so i had to survive on the streets till i was 21, then i met my Mothers best friend, who was a vampire, she turned me after i asked her to, but as for a reason for why i asked her.....the only reason i can think of is that i wanted to, even with it's consequences it was a good deal to me.I had to steal when i lived on the streets, which made me use to living in the shadows and staying out of the sunlight, and i had killed when i lived on the streets,blood didn't bother me, you could say i was naturally blood thirsty so the thought pf drink blood didn't bother me. so in all truth it's not as much of a curse to me as it is to most people.

[annaanger]

Anna shuddered. Sometimes the thought of blood made her queezy, but she could relate to the man before her. She felt sorry for his depressing story. It was alot like hers too.

"I... I'm sorry..." she said, and bit her lip. "It's so sad how one can lose their parnets and just live on the streets. I know I hated it. Having nowhere to go... nowhere at all..." she said, and curled her knees to her chest.

She tried not to cry as she thought of her past, and how she was treated.

A tear fell. 'Damn...' she thought. 'Now he's gonna think I'm a loser...'

She tried to hide her face from him, and looked away.

[*Vladimir Verencroft]

"you get over it eventually, so you lived on the streets as well?"Vladimir said and then noticed she was crying, he handed her a piece of cloth and said "it may not be a tissue but it works"

As cold as Vladimir seemed he didn't like seeing a girl cry, he was polite in this way, he then said, trying to be nice "crying is not a sign of weakness, only a sign that one is human."
What he said was true, but at the same time he thought to him self, am i even human anymore?

He smiled at her waiting on her to do something.

[annaanger]

Anna looked up at him and took the cloth. "Thanks..." she said, and dabbed the tear.

"I spent more than half of my life crying, and I don't intend to cry anymore. My parents died in a shooting, and left me out on the streets with no family. And I cried for 14 years." she sighed.

She stood up, and wiped off her pants, and handed him the hanky. "All of a sudden you're being nice..." she lauhed while a small sniffle escaped her.

[*Vladimir Verencroft]

"I'm not mean all the time, and i can't stand tears so i had to do something"Vladimir said as he took back the cloth, he then said "14 years isn't so long,people have cried for over 40 years of their life before, i should know i caused a lot of people to just that."

He thought to him self for a second and finally made up his mind.

He then asked "how badly do you want to be vampire?"
He didn't even know if she really wanted to be one, but it seemed like she did so he would turn her if she wanted him to.

[annaanger]

She looked up at him. "I... don't know..." she whispered.

She folded her arms across her chest. "I don't really know you though..." she shrugged. "But then again I don't know anyone..."

She looked at him. "Why?"

[*Vladimir Verencroft]

He grinned showing his fangs and says "because i can change you, if you want. think about you live forever, staying out of the sun and away from fire is but a small price to pay to live for ever don't you think?"

He was tempting her now, this was getting fun he thought.

"i must warn you though, it will hurt badly, and you will not be able to have a child ether, your body will be dead so it will be imposable for you to get pregnant" he said

[annaanger]

Anna looked at her feet. "I... i'm not sure..." she started to shake, and then looked up at him. "I don't know... I..." she shook her head. "I... I might want kids someday... of my own... I want to love someone without being a vampire..." she whispered, and sunk back to her knees, and held her stomach, for it started to lurch.

[*Vladimir Verencroft]

"I'm not going to force you it is your decision"He said as he looked at her, he then added "if you don't want me to turn you all you have to do is say so"

He had figured she might not want to be turned, it didn't bother him he was only offering her the chance.

He noticed a raven flying over head and held out his hand in it's direction, it landed on his hand.He moved his hand to his shoulder and it hoped on to his shoulder. He had been around ravens a lot, they seemed to like him, or rather liked being around him.

[annaanger]

Anna looked at the black bird he held. "Then, I'm gonna reject your offer." she said, and smirked. "I'm not ready for that burden yet." she whispered almost to lightley. She looked away from the bird and into the sky. The stars where winking and blinkigna t her as she made her decision.

"I accually don't know what I want in life..." she whispered. "To live or die... to stay or go... to love or hate..." she stood up and sat ontop of the headstone.

"It's so complicated for me..." she sighed, and folded her arms across her chest.

[*Vladimir Verencroft]

"Life or Death? the only 2 thing everyone goes through, the only 2 predetermined things in once life, it's a bit like the age old question To Be or Not To Be.
It's really the only 2 things we have no control over, but at the same time we control them. It's like a double edged sword. You can live, but you will get hurt more times then anyone cares to count, or you can die and harm your loved ones and end everything right there."He said and then added "nether is a perfect path, but we all walk both of them, whether it be by our own will or being forced we all walk both paths. Some however, like I, Take the path of death, but still live, we have fallowed both paths and now walk the path in the middle, the path of the undead, the path of the vampire."

He smilled, he hadn't spoke like that in a long time.

[annaanger]

Anna lookd at him. He sounded like some kind of philosopher to her. She closed her eyes momentarily.

"Sure... the middle path." she shook her head. "But tell me this. Haven't you ever wanted children in your life?" she asked. Anna loved kids. She was an only child, and never came close loving somone enough to have a child. "Being a vampire... you can't have children... Who knows, I might change my mind tomorrow, or later." she looked behind herself, remembering she was in a grave yard, having that eeire feeling that one of the spirits she contacted earlier were watchoing her...

[*Vladimir Verencroft]

"not really, it would be nice but i can live without it. I grew up alone, and I'm use to being alone, if i had children and a wife i would have to get use to being around them all the time, i don't trust people easily so it doesn't bother me to be alone for eternity."He replied to her questions and then added "if you do change your mind just let me know"

He thought about what he had said earlier and decided he hadn't lied, he really didn't want children to badly.

[annaanger]

Anna smiled weakly. "I will..." she said. "UnlessI meet another vampire." she laughed, and straighteed up, looked around again.

"We should be off... The spirits are getting restless tonight." she said. "They wasnt us to leave." she whispered.

"Nice meeting you, Vladimir." she said, and held out her hand. "We shall meet again.
