It’s funny how no one ever thought on how the dead awakens. It never crossed my mind until I was one. It was like emerging from a pool of darkness. What drives you to awaken is the desire to feed.
We all awaken to eat but the hunger is ten fold. It sends a sharp signal to awaken to our brain, like shock therapy. I rose with a desire. Not only hunger. Because it would be a lie if I said I was not famished. I had a deal to keep and a body to recover.
I went into my speed shower stall and cleansed myself thoroughly. I manage to do every thing in record time. It was even impressive for an undead.
I got into my car and programmed it to get me back to Angelica’s. The sun was still up and I was not at my full copacity. So to save energy I will let modern day technology get me there.
The drive was not as fast as I would like. I had to keep to the speed limit since the living was all walking about. I felt every second go by as the sun sets.
Once the car stopped. I exited as quickly as I could. As I hoped every one was still in their death sleep. I went to the body. He was still sleeping and by the amount I let her take it will take him another day or to to recover his strength. I did not waste any time. I wraped him in a thin sheet and threw him over my shoulder.
I quickly left his room and managed to make it to the front of the building when I heard Angelica stirring. I made it out to my car and drove off. The sun was completly set and my cell phone rang nonstop.
“Hello.”
“Why did you take him?”
“I have to deliver him to my buyer. You told me what i needed to know and so I took him.”
“That is not how we work. You gave me a body to drain. You do not take it back.”
I felt the anger through the air wave.
“I gave you a taste as promised and now I must deliver him.”
“Who is the buyer?”
I could not tell her that there was no buyer but a deal that was struck.
“Sir Dumont.”
She was quiet for a while. A little to long.
“Did you fall into to death again Angelica?”
“Becareful. You do not know what you have done by just calling out that name. Do me a favor, never return.”
“Oh don’t act like that. I will bring you a body to drain within the week.”
“That one is speacial.”
“How?”
“Taste the blood. You will see. He must not be given to that butcher. He will taint the body.”
“What did she taste?
“I will see you with in the week.”
The phone went silent. She hung up and left me to my thoughts. I knew who and what he was. I just did not care. I wanted the jewel.

I had been living at the mansion for three years and I had grown into a woman that all the men seem to desire. I did not desire anyone except Francois.
He was the perfect gentleman with me. I have heard of his escapades with the staff and I have heard of his appetite did not lean one way or the other.
It did not matter to me. I decided I was going to be his forever. On my twentieth or twenty-first birthday, I had decided I would wear a dress I had created just for him. I had seen it on a countess and I decided that was the dress that I would entice him to take me as his own.
That night the moon was full and Francois had held a celebration. I was not invited since I was the help but I made my way to his chambers and waited. It felt like an eternity. The noise died down and I heard when he entered his room.
“Why are you her?”
I mustered up my courage and told him.
“Francois I have decided that tonight on my birthday that I will give my self over to you completely.”
He walked passed me and looked out the window at the moon.
“You do not know what you are saying. You are too young and I am too old. I want you to leave in the morning and find your way else where. You have lived under my care for too long and I can not hold on too much longer.”
The tears fell. Only a young inexperience female would cry and that I was.
“I do not want to leave. Is there something wrong?”
He turned to me with eyes of blood red and glisening teeth that would peirce your soul.
“What are you?”
“You know what I am. Do you still want to give your self to me? You will never be as you are now. You will feel you heart beat no more to be by my side. You must choose. Tonight is the last night you will have this choice.”
I did not know what precisely made me choose him. Was it love or lust. Was it security? I can not remember but I chose him and I chose death.
As he took me in ways that I never ever felt before I seen a vision of a jewel. It was deep purple with blue. After that I could not remember the rest of my death. I was told I was out of my mind for twenty days and within that time I killed the staff and most of the animals.
Once I emerged from the haze Francois informed me of what I had done and I mourned their deaths incessantly. But the hunger came over me and I needed to feed. The mourn was short lived.

“Mmmm.”
“Are you waking? Good I have to deliver you at least concious.”
“Where am I?”
“Your in my car and I am taking you to the mark.”
“The mark?”
“Someone wanted you back so badly that they would bargin anything to get you.”
“Louisa.” He said as he passed out into oblivian.
“He was correct. Louisa wanted him and I want the jewel. We all want something. Don’t we.
