On my journey, I walked day and night fearing to sleep. Although my mind and psychic abilities are great, the corruption of the dark magic still whispered in my mind. A normal practitioner of black magic would very slowly be corrupted before the the dark magic started to whisper it's suggestions blurring the line between right and wrong, but due to me using the massacre of such a large group of powerful werewolves, it was as if a wave of black magic began to corrupt my mind. Knowing this I stayed away from all life I could and tried to push away the black magic from my mind.
Sitting infront of a steady lake listening to the very nature that shuns my existence, I began to clear my mind. I sat their for days upon days, learning how to ignore the voices, how to keep most of the black magic away from my mind . At first, knowing that my body was akin to extremely powerful black magic, I thought that it would be nigh impossible. Nothing happened for the first handful of days, I sat fighting every last second. The final couple days I finally felt progress and now I finally opened my eyes staring into my reflection in the calm of the lake.
This is the first time since I've become an adult that I'd really taken in my appearance. I smiled lightly at the resemblance. I looked like a young Michael Ealy but with a full beard. Standing up and looking at my hands I noticed very slight greyings of desiccation. Since my change I haven't really consumed any blood so this was bound to happen after almost 2 weeks of training my mind.
With that, I blurred away from the spot not leaving a sound. Few moments later, I was standing in front of a large village situated on a plain. Entering the village, the people stopped and took notice of my presence and unfamiliar face. As I walked through the village, not even sharing a smile, expressionless as ever, I was approached by a large muscular Indian man. The man looked angry and looked wary of me.
"Who are you? What are you doing in this village.....creature?" I was shocked at how the first person I met could notice so quickly. So before answering I probed his mind and found that he was a werewolf.
('Hmmm a werewolf huhhh... how can a werewolf notice but Klaus or Rebekah didn't.....maybe they're too young')
"I am just passing through and it's very disrespectful to refer to someone as a creature on first meet" I say coldly looking him in the eye.
"I'm no fool to the feeling of black magic and your entire body is giving me that feeling..... creature." he said smiling as if daring me to do something.
I let out a blusterous laugh. And returned expressionless.
"You know though I've never had to fight in a life and death battle, there are few men who would even want to cross blades with me and even now I'm more powerful than I ever was. Though I'm not bothered by you calling me a "creature". I won't back down from a obvious challenge"
As I finished my words I sent a mental command telling him not to move. His now confident face became one of fear as he realized he couldn't move his body. I then slowly walked up to him calmly and stopped. In one quick motion I punched a hole straight through his chest killing him instantly. With my hand in his chest a flashed his large body off sending him flying in a hut.
Seeing one of their village members die they started going wild with screams of fear and anger. The women grabbed the children and ran while the men took up arms and rushed me.
With a raise of a hand and the twist of a wrist, they all died rushing. As I did this I grimaced, not because I killed them, but because I felt little to nothing. My daze was soon broken by the sudden feeling of all my bones breaking.
(' Shit I forgot about the curse...was there human among them.....I didn't even think the curse would still affect me')
My shock continued as my bones restructured back to what it was. My muscles felt stronger than ever. Looking down on my hands I noticed talon like claws in place of my nails. My black veins were back and in full view and protruding in my skin like spider kegs all over my body up till my face. My eyes shifted lower to the floor where I saw my reflection once again in a puddle of water but it was different. My sclera was still as black as ever. My irises crimson red as blood and my pupil deep and black as the abyss.
I was truly shocked by my appearance. I looked terrifying.
(' Sigh, I truly feel even more powerful now, but then again I never got the chance to test the peak of my abilities')
My appearance reverted and I stood up straight and looked about on the corpses lying all about. I then walked and grabbed one of the men and sat with my back against a hut.
(' I wonder how it tastes')
I bit down into his neck and drank for a few minutes draining him dry. It wasn't due to bloodlust but just the convenience of being full and not having to feed later.
Standing up, I looked into the horizon wondering what's next. My thoughts were broken by the sudden light cries of what sounded like a baby.
(' Don't tell me I killed your father....poor child ')
I entered the hut and found the crying baby wrapped in colourful cloths. And looking extremely slim for a baby...like one on the verge of death.
(' How can such a small baby be like this!???)
I clenched my fist
(' Where's your mother how can she let her baby become like this?? Was she not feeding you?')
The little baby raised it's small shaking hands while it cried. I instinctively reached down with my finger and touched his hand. When I did his small hand started to glow red. I pulled back my hand shocked by this.
(' I thought only the Gemini coven produced siphoners. Who am I kidding I was born wasn't I. Unless he is a member of the coven and his mother took the twin born with magic. No matter, I can't leave him here. I need to do something quick')
I then took up the wrapped up baby and left in a blur looking for the nearest settlement. Finding a settlement I started sending psychic waves to everyone I came across I then searched the village to find anyone who might have given birth or is pregnant. Luckily I came across a pregnant woman, the village chiefs woman, I manipulated her made her think it was her baby and named the baby girl ' Scarlett' like her red hands. She then started breastfeeding her and cuddling her.
I then left the baby girl there only giving a quick glance over my shoulder to see the now calm baby. I went to a nearby stream to start training my mind again against the black magic to avoid a sudden slaughter like the other village.
Sighing I sat down into a lotus position and concentrated on the sounds of the stream and drifted off into my consciousness.
