Her tale among tales

So you want to know about my background huh? Then i hope you will listen well because i won't be rebeating myself. I guess i'll start with my childhood. I grew up without a normal happy childhood enviroment, The pathetic vile excuse of a man people used to call my father was a abusive drunk and liked nothing more but to beat myself but mostly my mother, I always wanted to do something about it, find a way to stop him but what use was a 12 year old going after a fully grown man under the influance of alchol, it was basically a death wish. I still remember hiding under my bed when he came home from work but i no longer let those memories bother me, since he's unable to hurt me and the people I love from beyond the grave. After another tortures 7 months I couldn't take it anymore and decided to run away from home for a couple of days...That's when things started to go horribly wrong, ..I was attacked by a man, But it was impossible to see the attakers face due to a black hoodie. I still don't know his name to this day, but that doesn't matter. He dragged me into a dark and abandoned ally and pinned me against the cold hard wall. That's when he sank his fangs into my neck piecing my arterie, then left me in the ally way for death. But I woke up 2 days later and thing was different, everything didn't look the same..the sun seemed to hurt my eyes and I found the darkness cured it. At least for a few days until they ajusted to this new way of life. 

Hours seemed to turn into days, as I just wondered though the streets I remember this constant burning that I had in the back of my throat. Everything I tried to do didn't help it in any way or form, well not until one night..but that will be explained later. I had no idea how many days had passed since the running away, and thoughts of my mother started to run through my mind. Was she okay? was she even still alive? These thoughts seemed to make the burning worse as if that was even possible..but I couldn't think straight I wanted the burning to stop. That is when I found myself standing outside my home, just about to walk through the front door when a scream...My mothers scream from inside the house which lead to me running inside without a second thought. 
I found my father with a knife in his hand and my mother laying on the floor with a hand pressed to her stomach, blood poring out through the cabs of her fingers and her skin becoming paler with each passing second. I ran to her side and fell to my knees beside her, presing my own hands onto her wound desperately trying to stop the bleeding, but my fear soon became a reality as she struggled to take her last few breaths "Mother you have to stay with me please..You can't just leave me here.. not with him" Tears continued to run dowm my cheeks and my eyes started to become sore and bloodshot. I looked down at her once more only to find that the woman who gave me life was gone..all that was left was an empty fragile pale limp body. "NO, COME BACK..Don't.. don't leave me" I turned to look at my father who was still standing there with the knife in his hand. 

"You fucking bastard" I rose to my feet and ran towards him pushing him forcefully against the wall and then grabbed him by the throat rasing him up into the air with ease. I couldn't explain it but i felt stronger than i ever had before, perhaps it was due to all the anger and upset that was running through my body. I didn't take the time to think about it...No all i wanted to do was make him pay . He looked down at me with a true honest and strange fear building in his eyes. "What..what's going on with your eyes?" I stared up at him, what the fuck was he talking about? Nothing was wrong with my eyes..,after that he didn't get a chance to speak another word because i grabbed the side of his neck and bit down into it without giving it a second thought. He screamed but it soon got cut off as i bit into his main veins and arterie blood rushed into my mouth and down the back of my throat, strangly it was the only thing that made the constant fucking burning stop. I could feel his body becoming heavy and it was starting to get a little harder to hold him up so i decided to let him fall to the ground. His body hit the floor with a thud as all the life and blood drained out of him, i looked down at him just laying there.."What..what have i done" His blood ran down my chin and dripped onto the ground in front of me. "I..what's happening to me" I felt the horrid burning slowly starting to creep up on me again, that's all i needed. I had to get away from the house..from the memories that was left there. I ran upstairs to my room and grabbed a suitcase fulling it with clothing and a picture of my mother i then grabbed my mothers locket from her bedside table and put it on,it has a picture of her and myself from when i was about 3 years old. 

I walked downstairs and placed my things by the front door, i knew i had to bury my mother before leaving this hell house she didn't deserve being left to rote in a pool of her own blood. I went outside to the back garden and grabbed the only shovel we owned and began digging a grave i made sure it was deep enough so no animal or anything else for that matter could come along and try to dig her up. I wrapped her body in a blanket and carried her outside with ease, placing her gently in the grave then filled it in. My mother loved roses and decided to make a flower bed of them a few years back, so i pulled a few of them out and placed them on top of the now uneven ground and said my last goodbyes. All i wanted to do after the was get far away from this place..leave the memories behind. I went back inside, grabbed my things and left not caring that my clothing and arms was now covered in blood and dirt. 
Hours passed as i just ran, not even knowing where i was heading i just wanted to escape, run from my thoughts that now haunted me every second. "Killer..murdera" The words kept repeating themselfs none stop in my head. I looked down at all the blood that stained my clothing..the sight gave me flashbacks of my father, ripping him apart with my teeth and hands, blood flying everywhere. My legs buckled underneath myself and i couldn't catch my balance as i crashed down to the floor, landing in a pile of leaves. Tears started to run down my cheeks as i allowed all the thoughts to freely run through my mind. "What..am i?" Ugh..i still remember how all my emotions where hightend, its like each emotion tribled and i couldn't control them as much as i tried. I sat there wrapping my arms around my knees as i rocked back and forth, tears contining to stream down my face as i screamed out trying to get rid of all the anger and pain that was inside of me. I watched as my tears fell to the floor making little splashes onto the soil. I looked up and stared into the distance finally starting to gather my thoughts, that's when i noticed something weird..Roots was growing up out of the ground, but only in one spot. "Quite peculiar" I slowly crawled towards them noticing the soil wasn't dry anymore..no it was wet and pulsing with power. I glanced around at the surroundings confused with what was going on infront of myself.."What's happening?" I shoock my head and backed away from it, "Better not to get involved with things you don't understand Emily" I mumbled to myself as i rested against a near by tree but not getting involved didn't mean i couldn't watch, After all what harm could watching do?. I continued to watch as the roots started to pull away from the ground and the soil tore away. 

I had no idea what was happening, but i wanted to stay around to find out. Not only because i wanted to see what would happen but it helped to take my mind off my own problerms. That's when what only could be discribed as fingers...bone fingers started to claw their way up from the soil. 
The remains of a man sat up in the grave, just bones and thick patches of black where his skin rotted for so long and now was nothing more than segments of decomposed blacked areas, where flesh sat for so long, eaten away. The skeleton just sat there watching me. It had no eyes, but somehow I knew it was watching me. I quickly got up and ran without looking back at it. All i wanted to do was get the hell out of there. Whatever that thing was, I wanted no part of it. The blood in my veins flowed even faster with the adrenaline building and it made the tortures burning come back, the curse of hunger for blood.. I moved through the forest with speed unmatched by a normal human being. I knew that what ever was back there in the grave couldn't possibly catch me.

I stopped for a while my energy running low,I needed to eat. I kept walking the best I could, still remembering the stare that thing was giving me. It's like it peered into the worsts parts of my soul, which seemed like every peice of it now. Suddenly, the skeleton appeared from behind a tree.. It was different though. It.. it was reforming skin! How!? How the hell could this be happening? Fear hit my body, and started to take control once more, but this time i was too intrigue and i stopped running, and i couldn't keep running, i was far too hungry. Worms and maggots slowly filled in the holes and inner workings of the skeleton and they all formed organs, guts, and all the rest of the interior within a human body. The skin was already forming up his legs. At first it was blackened, almost like a hardened ash. It then turned a pale white color and became the skin. The process worked all the way up the body until it was all formed. The body was slender and pale, with the hair forming now on it's head. It appeared to be a man, but it obviously wasn't human.. The naked human body just stood there for a moment, looking at Me. He moved behind a tree and came out from behind it seamlessly with missing a step with clothes on. A fresh pair of grey dress pants. A white dress shirt with a blackened jacket thrown on top of that. He held out his left hand and at an instant, a top hat appear at the slight of a flick in the hand. He brushed off the top and eyeballed it, placing it on top of his head, slightly amiss.

He circled around me. And i just watched him..what did he want?. He slighted his right hand and a snake appeared in his grasp. The snake hissed and struck at Me. I flinched and watched as the snake hardened into a straight solid object.. A cane. The man stood there and twirled it around in his own amazement. "You know, i've had a long long time to think about who I am.. What I am," he said. I watched on at him puzzled and shook my head not understanding why or how this was happening. The man just continued as he circled me more and more. "You woke me from a deep slumber dear.. I should be grateful, but..." he said. He got closer to me and he reached deep within his jacket pocket. His eyes widened and danced around with glee as he pulled a knife from the pocket. It was sharp and still had dried blood on the blade. For some unknown reason he hesitated, but then slowly took the knife and gently ran it from my cheek, all the way down my neck and stopped at the jugular. He pressed the blade harder against me and if it wouldn't have been dulled from the dried blood, it would have surely cut my neck wide open. 

Anger was building once again and this time i wasn't going to fight it off. I snarled and clawed him with my sharpened nails. He stumbled back as blood dripped from his face. I didn't let on how weak i really was, I glanced at him before turning the other way and started to run, I had a feeling that a scratch wasn't going to do it. I fled into the confined of the forest, into thicker woods. "Run my dear.. Run as fast as you can," the voice of the man called out to me from what seemed like all directions. Was he everywhere? How!? Conventional and rational thoughts just weren't there anymore. The man came out from behind a tree infront of me and I ran straight into him making me fall. He stood there above me looking down at me, My breath was heavy and fatigued. "Kill me!" I screamed. It's not like i wanted to live anyway.. Not after destroying my family.. Killing my father. He tilted his head and then bent down ever so slightly before pushing the knife into my shoulder. "Kill you? Whatever gave you that idea?" he smiled and an evil laugh bellowed from deep within him. He pressed the knife into my shoulder until it hit the bone. I screamed out in intense pain. "It is so much better to make you suffer.. Scream for a bit first," he told me with glee within his voice.

He smiled wickedly as blood started to pour from the wound he was making. He twisted and turned the knife, making the wound bigger and making the knife scrape against along the bone in my shoulder. The pain was excruciating. If i was normal...human i know it would have made me pass out by now. But adrenaline kept me there, kept me going, along with my the body wanting to survive. He finally took the knife out of the wound he had made and let the blood seep out. I turned my head slightly so i could see the wound, the blood was different..it seemed thicker than normal blood. He licked the blade and stud there, it looked as if he was thinking about something,.but i didn't know what. He licked the rest of the blood from the knife then looked me up and down, blood covered my shirt and arms."Whats this dear? Have a secret?" Was he questioning me? I just shook my head, still in a world of pain. "You are going to die, you might as well tell me," he said, He grabbed my shirt and licked some of my father's blood off of it. He stud there once again deep in thought with his back facing me, I smirked and rose to my feet. This was my chance to get him back..make him feel pain. I dug my nails deep into his shoulder. He was shocked and stumbled. I grabbed the knife and stabbed him in the same shoulder. "An eye for an eye," I said and plunged the knife deep into him. He let out a deep growl from within him, but he smiled in place of a wince. I grabbed the knife and licked the blood from it. It was thick and tasted disgusting, almost like dirt. But i still drank a little bit more anyway. I then shoved it back into his shoulder and ran away as fast as i could. I knew deep down that he would follow me, toy with me like i was his prey, but i refused to be the one hunted. If he wanted me he would have to work for it. I was still weakened. The blood from the knife wasn't enough for me. But i still stood my ground. "I know you are there, come out and face me!" I screamed at the air, ready for a fight. The man came out from behind a tree and clapped. "You know, you are the first person to ever stab me," he told the me. 

He went quiet and just looked me over then nodded..what the hell, did he just plan something? He threw the knife at my head. It whirled past my head, just barely grazing my ear. I could hear the steel flying through the air and hitting the tree behind me. "Don't ever let someone who wants to kill you live dear.. It just doesn't look good. "Who said that I was done," I said and leaped at him. I sent a few more slashes with my nails into his face. But suddenly, he vanished into a thick cloud of dark thickened smoke and reappeared behind me. "Also, don't fight what you don't understand because what you don't understand may still kill you," he told me with ferocity in his voice. I suddenly fell from the hunger, but he caught me... "So.... hungry," I managed to mumble as the fight left my body and it fell limp. I must have blacked out because i remember waking up to his wrist being pressed against my mouth, his blood flowed from his veins and into my mouth. I felt the blood hit my lips and could taste it on my tongue. I sucked the blood deeply, drinking as much as I could. I drank and drank until i was full. I sat there not sure whether to be thankful or hate the man. He took a seat beside me. "Many years ago I was a lost soul.. Much like you," he explained to me. My ears hung on every word he had to say.

"I am the equidistant of evil.. I killed my family and the human nature in me screamed out.. I felt nothing, but the human side, it was broken. I starved it to death to become evil reincarnate. Your human nature still resides within you. I know you are lost.. Your soul still bound to whatever you did for whatever reason. The truth is you wanted that blood to spill. Your true self just rose to the occassion. Soon we will break your human form and then... Your quandries will leave your body. You will be free to do as you please," he told me, I just listened.. Part of me didn't want to lose my human self. To forget what i had done.. But the other part of me though. That bit of darkness that was in me told me it was going to happen and to let the darkness grow.. To harness it.. I nodded. "I am Edgar by the way. Edgar Decay," he told me. I looked at him still with many questions and still not sure whether to trust him."Emily.. Just Emily," I said back. I was small, but he could tell there was a fire inside of Me. Something that we would learn together. Years passed and We trained.. Even killed together. Then the day came..

Edgar's eyes open and he looked on at me. His eyes were dark red and tranquil, with just a bit of fire twinging throughout them. The necromancer and the the vampire, which was myself grew close together and pretty much inseperable the last few years. We learned lots of new things together and all questions between us were answered. The truth was he felt something for me, A burning desire deep somewhere within his decomposed dead body. He watched me sleep until my eyes opened slowly. I smiled kindly at him. "Were you watching me sleep?" I looked at him not sure what to think. He nodded. "Sleep is such a weird thing. Why do we need it? It's not like we are wired the same as a human," he said trying to get off the subject and ignore the desire for me. The truth was, I felt the same. And i had for awhile.. For years we watched eachother and grew with feelings between us. I watched him he wasn't aware of it, I smiled from afar. He layed there with thinking about something., He feared that the human in him returned? It scared him.. He feared the human in him would weaken who he was. I was just as scared. I was afraid of the rejection it could have caused.. i didn't want a rift to form all because of my feelings.. So we both loved eachother silently and away from one another, not knowing the other felt the same way. I layed there close to him. He could feel the blood flow through my veins and the aura glowing from me was similar to his. He could sense something about me, but he could never figure it out. He wasn't even truly sure if he knew how to love..

He slightly remembered the word, but forgot the meaning, much like a majority of other emotions that fell from him and were no longer present inside of him. We both got up started getting ready for the day. I often took a shower and he'd get the enchantments ready for the day. He had given me the ability to not be affected by the sun like most vampires are. Now that his blood flowed inside of me I wasn't all vampire anymore. I still retained some of the vampire qualities though, just not the bad ones. I was more of a hybrid now, half dark magic, half vampire. I never thought of myself as either one though. Nope i was just simply Emily. Regaurdless of the feelings we had for eachother, I had to go away. I was going to go learn more of the powers inside of me that Edgar couldn't help with. He knew much about the dark arts and magics that be, but he knew nothing of vampire powers. He knew i could handle my own and that was that. The day came and we said our goodbyes. I was about to leave when I stopped. My heart was beating out of my chest and it overtook me. "Wait," I stopped Edgar. I walked up to him , i so badly wanted to kiss him.. But i didn't. I wanted to tell him everything i felt, the way my heart burned for no one except him and when I woke up everyday, that i longed for him deep in my soul, against all the darkness that was there. But what i didn't know..untill now, is that he wanted to tell me the same things, tell me all the little things he loved dearly about me. About him loving how I bit my lip as I practiced my slighting of hand and thought it was cute. The way I scrunch my nose up when i was mad. Even the way I smiled as we killed together. He loved me immensely, but we never actaully said the words to eachother... All i said was "Don't have all the fun without me," and all he said in return was "Don't worry.. I won't," and then i was off. My vampire speed took me through the forest and far into the city where i sat there in an airport surrounded by people i didn't want any part of.. People i'd much rather kill, but our code didn't allow us to get caught in such a predicament. Instead I just sat there wanting to cry, being away from the only person iwanted to be near more than anything sucked. I didn't want to go on the stupid trip and learn about my powers. My strength was loving him.. I was unstoppable next to him He was the only thing that made me feel human. 

dgar sat there in his cabin peicing together the feelings the that he had. Feelings he tried to hide from himself so many times, but they kept coming back to him full circle. He didn't want things to be this way.. but he was scared. Fearful of losing all power. He loved me though. More than words could possibly say. He only felt something for me... Something that wasn't darkness or some sort of evil. I made him human.. Gave him a heart. He sat there angry at himself and everything around him. Why did she have to go?. Why didn't he stop her and say the words he wanted to for so long. His mind fought him and the strings of insanity pulled at the broken mind of Edgar Decay, but he didn't want to lose me so he stood up and summoned his power. Thick dark smoke billowed around him and he thought of me..The thoughts carried him far away. He disappeared into the smoke from the cabin and it carried him to the airport. I was satting there feeling broken, lost in my own thoughts when suddenly, smoked began to form infront of me. I wasn't sure what was going on. I just sat there in awe as the smoke became bigger and thickened. It disappeared as quickly as it found itself there and left nothing behind but Edgar Decay. He grabbed my hand and pulled me close to him. I stood there listening with every fiber of my very being, waiting for him to speak.. To say anything.."My heart doesn't beat dear. I don't understand the word love entirely and maybe not at all. My being and the core of me has always been hatred and darkness in the very confines of who I am.. What I stand for, but you make me feel different. You make me feel like I am not a monster. That there is more to me than just simply a killer. You asked if I was watching you sleep this morning.. Yes.. Yes I was. I watch you every morning because I wake up and think that there is a place inside of me deep within that isn't bad and it's all because of you Emily. I fear the side of me that makes me more than a killer. The human in me.. But I don't stop it because.. Because I love you. I love you Emily," he told me. There was a silence among us both...I cried as he held his hands even tighter and closer to my heart. My emotions poured out like nothing before it. "You are the part of me that wishes the most out of this life. No.. you are not part of me. You are all of me. Why I get up and secretly smile at you when you aren't watching. Why I think that even after everything, that I am not messed up and just a shadow of my former self. You are absolutely my world and you have been all these years. Edgar, I love you. I really do," I said back to him. We catched eachother in an embrace. I placed my head against his chest. I couldn't believe that after all these years, I could finally feel him against myself. I no longer had to hide my smiles for him or hide the words of an I love you just beyond my lips. I could tell him as much as i wanted.. We both could.

I heard something i never heard before.. A thump within Edgar. I gasped and listened more closely and held him tighter than before. I was sure of what I was hearing. I looked up at him. "Edgar! Your heart! It's beating!" I told him with shakening surprise hanging within my voice. He could feel something.. Something new and he ebraced it. What does it mean?, he didn't know.. All he knew is that now, we no longer had to love eachother silently and from afar. He smiled. "Let's go home," he said and we both vanished within a cloud of the thickened dark smoke. We returned home and started to live our life. Still very much full of murdering and torturing.. but we now had eachother and the smiles were no longer a secret.. 

I found my true love and true self that day..and nothing since that then has ever been the same. He trully stole the heart within my chest and i know it will be looked after until the day i draw my last breath. I love Edgar Decay, and the love for him just made me stronger than ever before..there isn't anything i wouldn't do for him and i'd die protecting him. So if you ever come across Edgar and wish to kill or harm him i advice you to re-think unless you wish to come across a bloody ending.
