Chapter 6: Side Story 1: Lonely Blood Sucker

“Why does everyone else get everything? Why am I doomed and fated to be alone? I am unable to eat normal human food, and my parents went and died to these humans. What makes them different from me? I am called a plague on this world, and the humans abhor me. For what? I did nothing to them, and yet they call me bloodsucker. I do not even feel the need to drink blood?”

I sit here lying alone in my bed chamber as I contemplate the state of this doomed world. “I wish I could live amongst normal people. I wish I had a place to call home.” I am the last remaining vampire that I know of, but I do not try to use some sort of transformation magic to hide my features. “Why would I do that? I want to be me out in the open and free!” 

I am just simply existing here in this lonely tower. It has been centuries since I have stepped down from my solitude. I am reaching a point where I don’t want to exist in this world anymore. My family was taken from me, and I have nothing left. “Soon… yes soon, I will end myself. This is as much for the sake of the world as it is for the sake of myself. After all, me, a vampire, is fated to be alone and forsaken by the world. If that is not true, then why did everyone have to leave me?” 

I was given power because my existence was “special”. The person who told me that did not tell me what to do after I received the “gift”. “They said I would find happiness. This was a lie. They said it would be obvious when the time came. This was a lie. They told me so many sweet lies over and over again. I just want to be free from my internal suffering.”

I can’t even die on my own. I have tried before, but because of this special power along with me being a vampire it is hard to end myself. I have Impaled myself before in the heart, but the only thing that followed was severe pain. I woke up several hours later restored to what I once was. “Maybe if I jump from this tower, I can finally die. Maybe if I jump from this tower I can be free. Maybe if I jump all of this suffering can end. Maybe If I jump…”

I walk over to the window and open it, and as I do the wind hits my face. Looking out the window I can see far over the horizon. There are vast forests, and there are even mountains in the distance. “It looks so peaceful. It looks so free. If only the world didn’t hate me.”

I take a step onto the large window seal and feel the wind hit my entire body. In only this moment I feel alive. “It is kind of funny the only time I actually feel alive is when I am about to cease to exist.” I start laughing like a crazed madman at my pathetic self. 

Suddenly the tower starts to shake. No, it is not just the tower, everything is shaking. “Tremors? Is this what that person meant? This is an incredible amount of magic power. Maybe this is an existence like mine? The source is coming from the vast forest in front of me.”

“What did they call this forest again? I believe it was the ‘Forest of Woe’. Maybe I should go and meet this person? I’ll have to hide some of my features though, and that I really hate.”

“Whatever if it turns out to be nothing I can just come and end myself here anyway. Hopefully, this being can lead me to my happiness. Hopefully they won’t discriminate, and maybe I can finally end my loneliness.” 

“I guess I should just go and check it out.” I start getting my black robes on as I look at myself in the mirror. My eyes are crimson red with black pupils. My face is pale white along with the rest of my skin. I am as small as a 13 year old human girl as I have stopped aging, and my long black hair goes all the way down to my waist. Fangs protrude out of my mouth and my ears are pointed like those of an elf.

I quickly hide my ears and fangs with transformation magic, and then I open the door to my bedroom. I start my descent down my lonely tower. I walk down several flights of stairs before opening the main door. As I walk outside I feel the calm breeze, and I turn around and look up at the tower. 

“I am sorry I have to leave you alone here. You can’t come with me. It seems we were both alone.” I reach out my hand towards the tower, and I pull on the threads of magic within me. As I do the tower disappears, and I turn around and begin my journey with my same apathetic expression that I always wear. “This better be what you had in mind” is the last thing I say as I start my walk towards the forest.
