Chapter 4 - Chapter 4 - Power

"Aurora! Aurora! Are you finally awake?" My Mother asks me while crying. As I slowly start opening my eyes and start looking around, I see my Father sitting on the right side of me and my Mother sitting on the left side of me. It seems like this was just another dream, but it seemed so real and so Vivid. I still feel this power within me.

"Yes, I'm awake! But before we do anything, I need to ask one important question. Dad, why don't we Vampires suck the Blood of Humans?"

My Father sat there with a shocked expression his stare seemingly going into nothingness until he finally looks me in the eyes. "Aurora, A girl your Age shouldn't ask something like this. But if you really want to find out, then ask yourself what you saw in your dreams. Wasn't it something gruesome, wasn't it something that ruins everything?" 

"How did you know?!?" I ask him in a rather aggressive tone. "Also, shouldn't it be normal for a Vampire to be dependent on the Blood of Living Beings, shouldn't a Vampire have Powers, shouldn't I have the Power to destroy everything. Why don't I have the Power To Rule This World?" Wait, what the hell am I saying, that isn't like me. I mean, yeah of course I had some fever dreams in my old life about ruling the World and such, but that was as a teenager who just had dumb fantasies because of Video Games, nothing more.

"MY DAUGHTER! What you just said there are very treacherous words. You know that the Emperor could behead you at this very point where you stand." My Father says.

"What are you saying to our Daughter, Dourelias? She is only Three Years old!" My Mother says, whereas my Father responds, "What do you mean, she is only Three Years old? In her physical Form maybe, but don't you notice the way she talks, the way she behaves, the way she learns all the things we teach her so fast? Why the Hell would a Three Year old behave that way?".

I start to cry, endlessly cry. My mother looks angrily at Father as if she's seeing the Fault in him, maybe it was, but that doesn't matter. What matters for me right now is myself, and only myself. How the hell did I end up with such thoughts, what were those dreams all about? Why do I have Memories of a Past Life as though I am still that Person. I need to get my thoughts together in this.

As time passes endlessly in to the Future and Aurora travels with it, it suddenly stops and Aurora sees a Light, a Light only she can see. A Light that will show her the Future, a Future where she will rule this World. A Future where she will Finally Meet Me.

A few more years have passed, Aurora now 11 years of Age, celebrates her Birthday today.

I wake up from one of those dreams again, these weird dreams I kept having the last 8 years. While I tried to do some research the only thing I could find out was that Vampires really used to consume Blood. We also still are the strongest Magic Users in this World, although we were once way stronger.

I call my Maids to help me get out of Bed and dress me, since it's my 11th Birthday and I will go to school this Summer, I will wear a beautifully woven dress. It's made out of Black Silk and has a beautiful Brooch, looking like a Phoenix, in the middle of my Ribbon. I chose the Phoenix, because it represents Rebirth, the Rebirth of my past self into this Version of Me that I am now.

As the Maids accompany me to the Banquet Hall, I see my Father and my Mother standing there. Where are the presents? Where is the Cake? Where are the Guests?

My Father makes a gesture with his head, suddenly the Maids go away. Now I'm alone with my Father and Mother in this Room. But why? What is the reason for this? In their eyes I shouldn't have done anything wrong in the last 8 years and I actually reconciled with my Father. But what is that eerie feeling I get?

"Aah!" I gasp in agonizing Pain. What is this?! This didn't happen at all the last 8 years. I try to resist the Pain, but I can't. I collapse to the Ground and can only see one thing. My Father. Who is standing there with a mocking Face. I'm feeling anger, rage, hate. So strong as I've never felt before. Wait, what is that? Is that... A Human? In this kind of Place? And why are the Maids bringing him in? Don't tell me... I need to kill him... I don't want to, but there is this rage inside me, the want to live, to survive. I don't know why, but I can't concentrate anymore. I must kill him. I need his Blood to survive. I will get his Blood no matter what.

I latched at this Human. With my Mouth open and my Fangs seeable, I bit not in his Neck but in his Arm. I sucked and sucked, but it was not enough, he still seems to be alive, with all my force I let go of him, I jumped up and finally latched onto his throat, this time sucking all the Blood out of him, thus killing him.

I still stand there with a kind of Feeling I have never felt before. Is this the feeling of sucking Blood, Human Blood? Is this the feeling when I finally satisfied my lust?

Yes. This is the feeling. The feeling Only You Can Have.

Only me? But, what about the others aren't they the same?

Oh silly you, it seems like you still can't remember, even after all I did to help you.

W-What do you mean? After all you did to help me? I can't seem to reme-

"Argh!" I scream in pain, in pain, in pleasure...

"He, seems like it only took a while." I mumble to myself. As I finally realize, that I am the Chosen One, that I always was the Chosen One. Why else would I be here? Why else would I have that power? Why else would I be the strongest?

Yes. You are the strongest, so do you still remember me? The other You?

Yes. I finally remember you. The one who gave me Power, the one who gave me strength, the one who gave me life, the one who gave me purpose. The One Who Gave Me Immortality.

Finally. The long wait is over. I can finally reunite with you. My old Friend. And always remember, that old Bastard of a so called "Hero" can't stop us again. He will not stop us again.

He, If he could stop us, I wouldn't be standing right here.

I merge with my other self, the self who got lost as I transferred to this World, the me who got destroyed and "purified" by that so called "Hero". The one who brought me into that other World where I lived for more than 18 years. But now I'm finally back and I'll be stronger than before.

"Mother, Father. I think I finally know my purpose. I thank you for this. Let me give you two a reward."

I move my right hand upwards and within mere Milliseconds The two Maids who were standing there got absorbed by me. I move my Hand in the direction of my Parents and I transfer their Power to them. Those two Maids' Power didn't seem so bad, I wish I could've kept it. But they deserved a reward for giving Birth to my reincarnation and making me remember my old self.

One thing I still ask myself though is, why did my Father not seem to know who I was back then? Did he just pretend, or was it something else?

My Father suddenly starts to clap and walks toward me with a big smile on his face.
