Hail, companions of the night,

I can feel your presence, I can taste your couriosity, as if you were walking right beside me. Your heart dances, your blood swooshes through your veins, warm, frantic, pulsing…

I feel, taste, smell all of this, even though I’m still able to walk in the
sunlight, ..but my awakening is close, I’m aware of my companion, my Sire, he’s hunting me, he’s considering very carefully, whom he chooses, to whom he is revealing the gift of eternal night.

I’m a mortal, yet.. I feel myself changing inside and outside, feel my fear
slowly but steadily yielding to a peace I‘ve seldomly been allowed to feel in
past times. Times and times again my path leads to the company of a few souls, which seem so familiar and yet so mysterious to me, but never did I feel real fear, more so curiousity and a desire for knowledge, for… well, for what  again?

A deep desire is burning inside me, a fire I controlled well in the past, never
allowing it to flare or leave traces. Something has changed in the previous
weeks, inside me, in my live, most of all in my mind…and   I freed the fire,
let it burn bright and hot, till it burned all my masks and my fear.
It wasn’t easy, I paid a high price, but now I’m free, my soul purified by the
fire.

Out of the fire a creature returned into this world, which has been bound by the chains of the mortals for a long time, which didn’t know who or what it is. Yet there are only hunches, dreams, but the memory is slowly returning, the pieces of the puzzle connecting to a picture and I’m beginning to understand who I am, what I am:

A soul, black as the veil of the night, descending protectively on us as we’re walking in the glow of daughter moon, a creature, driven by a hunger which is probably never to be stilled, cause what lay dormant in the mortal, what I really am you’re asking me?

A predator on the prowl, circling its prey, ready to jump.

The beast awakes…

January, Anno Domini 1810

After @Claude_Crane left her, she feels like she’s dying… she struggles with silver chains, she close her eyes - try to concentrate and send out a call to the only man she always believe in - @GodricOfBlood* “HELP HIM !” Then she fell back again, the silver saps more energy from her and she tries to stay conscious … but she lose.

*she awake from a feverish dream* *growls*

“If i will survive this day, i will stay in first line to fight against this witch-bitch.”       *blinded by rage*

Time goes by .. she cant tell how long she was arrested, when @Claude_Crane appears to carefully remove the silver chains

“The threat is over, I’m sure you must feed so I’d best be gone.”

*she growls in pain as Claude removes the silver chains from her, some melting flesh on it*

“Im not sure, that it’s over, Dear.” *nods* “but you*re right, i must feed.” *stares hungry to him* “Im very weak, Claude.. you wouldn’t let me drink, would you?”

Samira awakes from another premonition. She leaves the hideout down to the sea, get calm while she is listening to the nature’s voice, thinking on @GodricOfBlood. The young vampire still miss his guided spirit around her, he’s the one who get her always back to reality and clear up her mind. The new day is rising, when Samira leaves the sea and go back to her hideout before the sun burn her away… she lost herself too long thinking of the future.

A few nights later…

It’s warm outside, she’s hunting in the woods, when she meet up with some fae.To her surprise, both seem to be fangbanger, cuz they offer her to drink. It was absolutly impossible for her to resist and so she sink her fangs into both until she gets full drunk of the fairie blood. It drives her crazy, she lost the control over herself, chuckling and having fun all the time.

In this mood, she mets the sweet young vampire @VampBabyJessica. Samira shows Jess, that she could be a real badass vampire, but feeling sorry at the same time and begging for apologize.

” @VampBabyJessica im not myself tonight.. maybe i shouldnt drink soo much of this irrisistible blood. *wispers* but the faeries taste so good”

“i cant resist .. i*ve tried.. but i have a deal with one or two.. *smirks* ..shhh.. dont tell anyone..” *giggles*

After the short talk with Jess, she’s back in her hideout, to rest and falling asleep.

A few hours later …

Samira wakes up abruptly .. she feels the pull, hears a call inside .. and so she follows the call from the witch. She’s walking around, feel the sun on her skin again.. after 200 years.. and a bright smile shows up on her face as she see @Claude_Crane.

“Hello Dear… what a beautiful day.. how lovely you are, Darlin’ *smiling*.

He looks confused for a second or two, but then he drags her inside for safety. Samira now looks irritated.

“What … are you doin’? It’s such a wonderful day. Let’s go back..” *the faerie blood still running on her veins*

He tilts head confused. “Why? How are you in the sun?”

“It’s a beautiful day.. i MUST go outside.. ” She stands up and try to leave him again, following the voice of the witch inside. “cant you hear her? *asking slowly* She calls me..she wants me to be out in the sun.. *wispers* let me go.. please.. let me go”

But he wouldnt… his voice so gentle and peaceful, let her hold off for a second.    “ I didn’t want to do this… ” *he’s holding silver chains in his hands* “…but you’ll die if I don’t. ” He bind her in silver and runs.

Samira stares at him disbelieving, but then she screams in pain, when the silver bounds her* “Noooo…! Wait…! Dont..!”  But he’s gone„ leaving her alone. She fights against the chains, she growls and roar, but the silver burns deep brandmarks on her skin and saps her energy. Bound in silver, her thoughts go out to her king @VampireBill  , to @Eric_ofArea5 and to @VampBabyJessica , hoping, they all will be save.

Samira runs, but deep inside she knows, she can’t hide for herself. And then she faced up with her Guilt, with the person, she can’t protect: Eric. A short dialog starts between these two vampires: 

“Yes - even Vampires can have nightmares. I don’t want to be alone now” - Eric

“If you wont be alone, if you’re fearing nightmares.. i could be with you, guarding your sleep tonight… if you trust me, Dear.” Samira stares at him, her eyes full of love. “so, do you want me to stay and guard your dreams? would you trust this 200 years old vampire or fearing again? *smiles softly*

“Samira, I’ll be fine now” The sheriff of Louisiana answers her, after a while.

“okaee .. im so sorree eric, i failed + feeling guilty now..maybe there will be a chance to pay my guilt.” *she mumbles, taking a second look on him, the pain about her fault burning in her eyes for a few seconds* “I’ll be there, if you need me”

“There is no need for you to pay - it is my actions that need atonement” Eric response to the young vampire, tries to explain her. But it brings her to tears, crying quietly*

“Oh dear, if you onlee know.. i promised.. and i failed… im a sinner, praying HE will forgive me..” *she comes very close to him, wispering something in his ear* “maybe you’ll understand it when the time is right for”

“Whatever decency is within me is irrelevant - I am clearly capable of extreme cruelty”- Eric again.

“In another time, another place.. i agree. but you are here, I wont believe you loose control that much. Eric.. look at me.. if you cant control it anymore at any time… you*ll have a command of me, USE it ! and nobody gets hurt ! *wispers* “and i will pay for what i*ve done.” She*s really be serious as she*s talking to him and making sure, that she leaving no doubt.Then she leaves him, knowing he will be safe for tonight.

Onlee Samiras voice sounds over the sea at night..

The last few nights were full of visions …but the last one was strong + clear.     “What the hell… ?” *she screams, then falling back + cries unrestrained*

“Oh my.. dont let it happen.. Lord, please.. “*she cant believe the things she saw, she felt.. but deep inside, she knows better* “Noooooo !!!” *fell asleep* *she wakes up again…knowing that the darkness isnt very far away anymore*

“love is not a victory march” *she mumbles* “I’ll be there… and die for.. the devil is calling .. and i will follow by due time … oh Lord.. forgive us.. “

After her last premonition she knows, that the time is running out. so she prepares, writing some letters and vanish into the night. By driving insane, she seeks a young vampire, Jess and hoping to find her soon.

“Jess ? are you there ? Jess ?”

Finally, she find her and breaks down for some seconds, thenlooks at her painful.

“Gosh, Jess.. finally i found you.. do you have time for me ? some seconds ? Jess, dear.. listen to me.. i got some premonition in the past nights.. the last one was stronger than everything else. something*s coming.. i can feel it.. and i must leave.. if im not coming back … take this … “

Samira hands her some handwritten letters, adressed to some of the people around here and told her exactly how long she should wait before .. she hands them out.

“i have nothing to loose anymore.. but i must try to change it.. I feel guilty.. maybe cuz i failed.. im sorree to leave you. Im so sorree, that we hadnt enough time..  Forgive me, Dear.. May you will find always safe paths, young lady. I wish you well.”

She takes a finally look back, then she turned and vanish into the night again. At last, she’s finding a place to hide on the sea, praying.

“Do you not see how im begging on my knees ? You*ll bring out the devil, the beast in me … again.”

In a time, when she was the darkness closer than everything else, a guarding spirit surrounds her. She was given promises in that time, promises she never will taken back. She did her best to keep that promises, but she failed. She had to live with her feeling of guilt now and try to pay for. 

She gets remind on her guilt, when Godric is arriving again.

“It is time underlings…. There is much work to be done….. It appears my child has lost his way.”

“Good evening, Sire.. im here. I’ve tried to keep an eye on him„ but i failed. How can i serve you?” The young vampire salutes to the wise spirit and bows. “Sire, it’s good to see ya again, everything runs out of control.. the witches become stronger … finally..”

He noticed and response warningly to her:

“Samira, by keeping your distance.. It is no longer safe and peace no longer surrounds me.. All will be explained in due time…”

Then he explains to all:

“I see much has changed since my last communication…. *sighs* It appears my death has caused more harm than good…The darkness is consuming me and I do not have much time. My preparation begins….”

The young vampire falls down to the ground, then she answers with a broken voice.

“I know, Sire. But i have NOTHING to loose.. if i will end this way, i am prepared to.. I will be there, Sire. Your call will be my command, count on me.” *she bows again, her eyes full of love and respect*

After the talk with Godric, Samira feels sad.. was it her fail about the things happen with Eric ? She*s taking a long walk… thoughts and memories running through her mind.. she’s touched by another premonition + dont know, how to deal with.

She find someone who seems trustworthy in her eyes, explaining some things about her, Lucan and how she survived since he is gone.

“I have not seen you around before. Its nice to meet you my dear.”

Samira nods, relieved to find someone to talk and seems interest in her story.   “True.. im new in town, i was wandering with Lucan, we had some “work” to do.. before… *stops and a silent teardrop falls* Lucan is … Lucan was my maker, but he get killed by newborns some weeks ago. I can’t seem to work out who it was, but i know, that it was a blood hunt on him.. and also on me..cuz im his child.” *anger* “The wish for revenge still burns deep in me.. feeding the beast besides too.. but at the moment, i try to control both.”

“Are you a newborn? How old are you? and im sorry about your maker.” Some questions and Samira tries to answer as true as she can without telling too much. *she takes a seat near by*

“Am i a newborn? some would say yes, some would say no.. well, Lucan turned me in a cold night January, 1810. so, im a newborn maybe.. what do you think, Mylady ?” *Samira asks softly*

“How have you been taking care of yourself without your maker?”

“Of course, Lucan “trained” me to survive, i was a good girl, learned very fast.. or i didnt survive the first 3 nights. well.. im lost.. but guided.. the spirit of Godric was around me, talked with me.. helped me. and even a faerie.” *Samira stops again, before she ended up* “sorree.. i had help… and i dont asked WHY.” *she shakes her head*

“That is good that you learned fast. just be careful feeding in these parts. if your caught it wont be good.” The woman sounds very careful and serious, she seems to be trustworthy.

Since Lucan was taken away from her, the young vampire had some fateful meetings. She feels a special desire for someone, knowing, it’s forbidden and also hanging with the wrong persons .. some vampires she met around. It’s hard to make the right decisions, who’s trustwhorty and who not.

Talk between Samira and a special Vampire:

“Good evening, Dear. Im always stay to my words. no matter, what happen.” *she grin with a dangerous glint in her eyes*

The both start a dialog about the vampire nature.

 *shakes her head* “you*re still a hunter, still ripping ? there are so many fangbangers out there.. you will get in trouble.”

“Some nights rippin’ an’ killin’ is the only way, Samira.” *fanged grin* He answers.

*growl* “nobody knows better than me.. thx for bear that back in my mind.. *fangs* “I still believe, there CAN be a co-existence.. must be..” *she mumble* “I hate the killer in me..”

“We gotta stick together, Samira. Not many of us left.” He explains softly.

“i know.. i was close beside, as my maker was killed… by idiotic newborns..” *a teardrop falls down silently, while the memories flashing back in her mind* “but i still have the fight against the beast in me.. every night.. and it becomes harder to win, since Lucan is gone..things changed too fast in the past 200 years..” *she stares at him, her eyes filled with tears*

After that discussion, she cleans herself up and stares outside the window..* “Hopefully it was right, what i*ve done tonight.. and the past nights” *she mumble* “I*ve just the vampire Lucan made…

Samira find a hideout between Shreveport and Bon Temps. She still tried to talk with the Sheriffs or the King, but no way. It seems, she or the reason, why Lucan is killed by newborn vampires is too unimportant for them. She gets in touch with some persons around, so she stayed.

By a lucky chance, she met the King of Louisiana, @VampireBill .

“I bow to your highness” *the young vampire speaks very gentle* “How can i serve you?” She knows her place very well, Lucan was very precisely and teached her with very clear definition. 

He recognize her and find some seconds to talk with her, reminding her, before he leaves for official duty.

“Mind your mainstreaming in my state. Then everything will work out fine.”      *smiles, nods*

She leaves him a notice, knowing about the consequence of her decision.

“Dear Majesty, you’ll find me near the sea every night if you want to. I, Samira Fahley, Child of Lucan Fahley, bow myself to you, Majesty.”
