_________________________________________________________________
Let me begin by sharing with you my background with the occult. (This
does have some relevency to my story.) I have always been interested
in the strange and unexplained. I love to read stories, both true and
fiction, about ghosts, UFOs, poltergeists, the Bermuda Triangle,
psychic incidences, etc. I never read much about vampires. I was never
very interested... thought it was just a movie. Well, anyway, this
last year in high school, I met two people who were interested in
vampires. The one subscibed to a newsletter and got mail from
self-pronounced vampires. But we always just thought of them as
psychos, and it was fun to read their letters during lunch. The other
was more quiet and withdrawn. Anyway, I'm just trying to say that I
was not a believer, and I never really thought too much about it. Oh!
And I never watched Dracula before, either.
I will start from the beginning. Last Spring, I broke up with a long
time boyfriend, and I was really feeling alone and depressed. A friend
of mine had put an ad in the personals, and the dates she got weren't
odd and deformed. So, I thought that I would give it a try. I was
looking for someone with style and personality, but almost everyone
sounded dull and very much alike. Except on the last week that it ran,
one guy had caught my attention. He didn't really say that much, but I
knew he was the one that I wanted to see.
So, I called him, and we talked for a little while. He told me about
how he likes to travel out of the country a lot. He said that he could
speak many languages. I made him say something in Italian, French,
Russian, Arabic, German, and Japanese. I was impressed! They all
sounded authentic to me. I couldn't understand how he could know all
these languages, when I couldn't even speak Spanish after three
horrible years of Spanish classes. He is only twenty and never went to
college. I just wrote it off as being easier since he has traveled a
lot. He was living in a beach resort city with his uncle. He showed
such a strong distaste for that city and the U.S. in general. It was
the culture that he hated. I can't say that I blame him, that city is
a dump!
We really liked talking to each other and were eager to meet. We
arranged to go out the next night after I was done work. I got done at
eight o'clock, and I drove to his house. It was an hour away. I
neglected to realize that it was going to be nearly impossible to read
the house numbers in the dark. I drove back and forth down his street
many times trying to read numbers. When I finally narrowed it down to
what block he lived on, I noticed him standing outside. (By the way,
let's call him Sam. I'm tired of saying "he" a lot and I want to
preserve his identity.)
Sam looked different than I was expecting. He was handsome in an
unusual way. He looked and acted European. I liked that. We took a
long walk and talked some more. I will only tell about the things that
are relevent to this story. Sam revealed that he was from Canada. He
also said that he loved to stay out all night. (When I called him for
the first time, I woke him up at 3 o'clock in the afternoon!) Sam was
telling me about how he likes to wear vintage clothes and how he had
his eye on a French Revolutionary coat. He also told me that he is
very old-fashioned. He also started to speak in Latin and old English.
I found all that he had to say fascinating, but thoughts on vampires
were far from my mind.
After a while, we walked down on the beach and sat on a lifeguard's
chair. The scene was perfect. Sam claimed that he could read a person
by looking into their eyes. I didn't believe him. I dared him to tell
me what I was thinking at that exact moment. He said that he would
have to look for a long time before he could determine. We were
talking about our past relationships and I said about how I could have
loved my last boyfriend forever if only he hadn't done what he did.
(Another very long story. It spans three years.) Suddenly, he said
that it is impossible to love forever. He was very vehement about it.
We got quiet. I started to think for a while. Then it occurred to me
how perfect this scene was and how I wanted him to kiss me. Just as
soon as the thought went through my head, he leaned over and kissed
me. Sam is a VERY good kisser. So, the next ten minutes were spent
kissing and kissing. That was it. There was no pressure to go any
farther. It made me feel safe.
Later, we got down from the seat and started back to his place.
Halfway across the beach, he suprised me by suddenly taking me into
his arms and kissing me again. This time it made me very dizzy, since
I was standing up. I never had that happen to me before. When we
finally got back to his place, he put some European gothic music on
and lit candles and incense. We continued kissing and cuddling. It
could have went on forever. He sat up and changed his position a
little. That's when I got a good look at his face. His crystal blue
eyes were unnaturally bright and his teeth glowed for the first time
tonight. At that moment, everything made sense! I sat bolt upright and
probed into his mouth with my hand. His teeth looked very long. I
stammered, "Your aaa vvvvvampire!"
He just laughed and said, "Maybe I am, maybe I'm not." But I felt that
I knew the truth. I was very frightened, so that was the end of the
date. I told him to call me again, because I am just shaken up now and
will probably be fine later. I was shaking as I walked back to my car.
I thought about it during the ride home and decided to talk to my
friends about it.
The next day, I went to school and franticly searched for either of
the two friends. My closer one was absent that day. The other one was
going on a school trip with me that day. It was going to be a two hour
ride. (Although she was quiet about her vampire beliefs, we did talk a
lot about other things. She understands me.) As soon as I saw her, she
could tell what I was going to ask her. We talked all the way there
about it. She told me that she is one also and explained a lot about
vampires to me. Many things that she told me matched up with how he
acted. At the end of the day, I was convinced to see him again. I felt
bad for the way I acted and was afraid that he would never call me
again.
I was wrong. Sam called me at work just when I was sitting down to
have a break. It was perfect timing. I apologized for the stupid way I
acted, and he said that it was alright. We arranged another meeting
for a couple days later.
When I reached his house for the second time, he was outside waiting,
again. Sam was still jumping around my questions about what he really
is. Finally, he admitted that he was a vampire. He told me that he is
only revealing this to me because I figured it out for myself. I asked
him how old he really is, but he refused to answer that. He did say
some things in what he said was Samaritan. He hinted that he was a
child of the milennia. Sam told me a lot of interesting things now.
Stories from his past. He even claimed to have a picture of himself
hanging in Ellis Island. There is really so much more, but I think I
made my point.
We spent so much time close together like this. He showed such sadness
as he recounted the past. Sorrow over the loss of loves, children,
friends, etc. He told me that he is now uncapable of loving because he
has been hurt too many times. I felt so sad for him, and I began to
cry. He looked at me sadly and said that he can no longer cry nor
feel. This hurt badly because I fell in love with him. It just
happened, and still, to this day, I love him with all of my heart. He
looked into my eyes and said that I am so beautiful and yet my soul is
even more so. We kissed some more and he got very close to my neck. I
was a little nervous, but I trusted him somehow.
The next time that I saw him, he was a little more agressive. He laid
down on top of me and started kissing me very intensely. He used his
teeth and he was sucking on the skin on my neck. Although, I was
afraid he was going to bite me, I didn't want him to stop. The night
passed like before. On my drive home, I noticed that he had given me a
hickey. I was annoyed because before he had said that he never gives
hickeys.
When I told him about the hickey, he acted surprised. He began to back
off from me. From what my friend told me, I think I know why he did
that. I think that he lost control of his desires and almost drank my
blood. Now, he is afraid that it will go too far. He seems rather
reluctant to bring me into his world of darkness and despair. We lost
contact for a while.
It was impossible for me to stop thinking about him. Whenever I do
think about him, I begin to cry over his loneliness. I want to become
like him and keep him company for eternity. I feel the craving to let
him drink some of my blood and I would like to taste his. The desire
is unbearable. (And sometimes I feel a slight tingle where he gave me
that hickey, even though it has long since disappeared.)
I have regained contact with him, but I am away at college and cannot
see him. We do write each other. This semester I'm taking Latin and at
the end of some of the letters, I write a message in Latin. He can
understand it. He knows how I feel, but he doesn't want to curse me. I
understand his point, but now that I know about it, I can't help
wanting it.
Well, that's most of the story. There is so much more I could say
about him, but it could go on for a long time. (not forever) It is so
hard to learn that something believed to be a fairy tale is actually
true. I know that vampires do exist. However, they are not all evil.
Sam has the most beautiful soul in the world. I feel it in me every
time he looks at me with those magical eyes.
