A medium-sized leather book sits on the dresser. Its color is a washed blue, faded and torn at the edges. Time definitely took its toll on the binding.
((The time is in Ancient Egypt in Cairo))
Dear Journal,
My name is Proteus. Strange things have happened my entire life and my father gave me this journal to record some of it. I’m currently in the form of 18 years of age. Mother tells me that now that I’m of age, I’m to know the truth about myself. She tells me that I’m a Vampire of the Lestat family. One of the original families. A…a...Vampire…I don’t even know what to think…I knew the wine always tasted funny…
((A month later))
Dear Journal,
Father has been training me. He tells me with hard work, I can do some of the most unimaginable things. I’ve learn many skills and how to hunt properly. Next time, father will let me taste the blood of an actual human. I’m not ashamed to admit I’m scared. The humans here know about my kind. They’re not prejudice outwardly…but sometimes I see their stares.
((Next week))
Dear Journal,
I tasted my first human…it was…delicious. To celebrate, Pharaoh’s brother (Kail Mursili from Anatolia –Turkey- and a vampire himself) is hosting a party tonight. He is the son of Suppiluliuma Mursili – the first vampire. At this party, will be Vampires from all of Egypt and Turkey. They say Kail’s daughter is the most beautiful creature. I shall see if these rumors are true about the first vampire’s granddaughter…
((The next day))
Dear Journal,
She’s beautiful. The rumors hardly did her justice. Her name is Marina. She is simply stunning –smart, cunning, witty, charming, and gorgeous. Perfect. She’s too good for anyone in this world…especially me.
((Two days later))
Dear Journal,
Kail Mursili has invited me to his home tonight. He didn’t say what he wanted. Maybe, just maybe, I’ll be able to see Marina. She’s the only thought that comes across my mind…my dreams.
((The next day))
Dear Journal,
I have been informed by Kail Mursili of his plan to raise more vampires. He believes in an equal society. He sees his brother Ramses destroying Egypt by using slaves and mistreatment. Kail feels the need to cleanse the hurt and heartbreak by using us Vampires to hunt the humans mistreating the others once every three months. This will anger the Pharaoh…I know it. But, I agree with Kail, and he shall tell his brother of his plan once we’ve populated families in Greece, Italy, Spain, France, England, India, Japan, and China. I am to watch over Marina on these voyages.
((6 months later on the ship))
Dear Journal,
I’m in love with her. She’s immaculate. We’ve completed our mission of raising more vampires. Marina can turn humans into Vampires without biting them. I can’t explain it, but the process is beautiful. She has so many powers I never would have thought of. I myself have been training hard. My powers are great. The only one stronger than me is Marina. And she’s in love with me. Can you believe it? A woman so perfect? I will ask her father Kail permission for her hand in marriage when we return in a week. I love her too much to lose her.
((2 weeks later))
Dear Journal,
Kail agreed! Marina is so happy. Our wedding shall be in three days. She is the best thing that’s ever happened to me. I love her so much.
((3 weeks later))
Dear Journal,
I’m the happiest man alive! Marina is pregnant! It’s going to be a boy. And now, Kail has summoned me to Pharaoh’s court. I hope Ramses will understand…
((4 days later))
Dear Journal,
Ramses refuses to agree to Kail’s terms…He’s banished the Vampires of Egypt to underground. He plans to kill the vampires we raised. He’s holding Marina hostage…
((1 month later))
Dear Journal,
I can’t stand hiding any longer. I hear the screams at night…Smell the bloodshed…I can’t stand it! I want my wife back! And now…the worst has come…Plagues have fallen over Egypt.
((2 weeks later))
Dear Journal,
Ramses…killed her. He killed Marina! And my son! The humans thought we were the cause of the Plagues. This has become war. And I’ll kill him. I want his blood.
((The next day and this page is written in blood))
Dear Journal,
I killed him…with my bear hands. And now…I have to find a way to bring her back…if I don’t…I’ll kill myself…
((The next day))
Dear Journal,
I have found a way to bring her back. It’s not a process I want to go through…but no matter the cost, I must bring her back.
((Over a hundred pages are torn out all leading up to the evening they arrived at the Mansion))
Dear journal,
The pages torn out are somewhere safe. I was protecting Marina’s secrets. Ever since I brought her back, she’s had no recollection of her past with me. I’ve pretended to be her brother for centuries…but I’m becoming restless. The only reason why I wait is because I know something is after us…the same vampire that killed my parents…and something else…another presence…
