New Orleans 1866

After taking a year to train me in all things vampire, Lorena finally decided that it was time to leave her home and head out to the big cities. Our first stop was New Orleans. Since it was Mardi Gras, the streets were teeming with humans, and we decided to leave a trail of death and destruction, both to satisfy our thirst for blood, and to also satisfy Lorena's need to kill.  I was helpless to do anything, since as my Maker, Lorena had the power to command me to do what she wanted.   For weeks, it was nothing but sex, killing, and feeding for us.  I tried to protest but Lorena shot me down. "William my love,  we vampires were designed to be killing machines. The sooner you accept that, the sooner you can get on with your new life."  With no other choice, I just agreed with her, and the mayhem continued. 

A Lot Of You Humans.....

May think that we vampires are demonic godless creatures, but In my case, you are very much mistaken!  When I was human, I was a devout Christian.  And I still believe in God.  People say that nothing happens unless God wants it too, and I believe that as  well.  Perhaps my turning was in His plans, for what I'm still trying to find out.  Who's to say that on my mortal death, my soul went to Heaven, and that some day I'll be reunited with my human family?

What We Have Here Is A Failure To Communicate

Pam And I Having A Bit of A Dispute

Bloodlust

The lust for blood is the most powerful feeling a vampire can feel.  Take human hunger and magnify it a million times.  That is how it feels.  And it just doesn't end with taking a little bit of blood, you have to drink just about a whole human body's worth to be totally full.  It is not a good feeling, having to nearly take a life to fulfill your own needs.

Things I Miss

Some things I miss from my human life:

Food: My favorite was a nice bowl of vegetable soup
Dessert: My wife's apple pie was the best I have ever tasted
Sunday mornings, getting up, a big breakfast, then going to church with my family and spending the day with them.
 My Parents
My childhood friends
Of course, my wife and children
And another of course, feeling the sun on my skin!

Lorena

My maker was a dark figure who had almost lost any humanity she had left.  Her feelings for me were both love and obsession.  Yes, I do believe she loved me in her own way, and perhaps for the first few decades we were together, I loved her too.  But at the end, I could not tolerate our killing sprees, forcing innocents to watch us make love while they bled to death.  Hopefully, after Sookie killed her, Lorena finally found peace. Perhaps had I been human and lived the centuries before we met...

First Night, First Kill

The night I arose after being turned by Lorena was terrifying and confusing.  Imagine if you will having your blood drained from you to the point of death, being fed the blood of the vampire that drained you, then being buried in the ground for up to 3 days. Then imagine waking up while you're still buried in the ground, and clawing your way to the surface. Then imagine further your maker telling you that you've been made Vampire and telling you that to survive, you must live off the blood of humans, and can only live at night.  That was the beginning of my first night as a vampire, but the worse was yet to come....

"You need to feed, I'll take you somewhere were you can find a human", Lorena told me, looking completely satisfied at her  new creation.  Feeling like I was starving to death, I was in no condition to argue.  So we went to a small town near her house, and she picked out a nice woman.  "Here, William, feed", she ordered me.  So I took the woman, bit her, and fed, and fed, and fed, till I could hear her heartbeat slow to nothing.  I was horrified at what I had become, but I was totally helpless, being under Lorena's control...So it began.....
