The
Night Of Changes
The years went on as they always did,
where I helped out within the tavern as much as I could, even served meals and
drinks. I did not shy nothing, nor was I ever lazy. And yes there
are things in my undead life what should not be told openly for it would
only cause me grief to do so.  Nevertheless they should be written down on
a parchment so that even I, as I grow older and older, I will never forget
them.
One thing to mark, as life went on around
the Home I had was that, one night I met a remarkable man, which I later down the years, learned
to first Love...then hate. A man full of mysteries and alot of stories, but also a VERY selfish man.
His name was Lord Everbright Streehbach Khan. A most hated Garou to me as a vampire. But for the peace among all of us,
we got along with everyone...we had to, even though the thoughts of war were on the rise..
When Lord Khan began with his little story
of how he became and what it meant, I was almost in shock. Never did the
thought cross my mind that he was Garou until then. You see, I did not hold the ability yet
to be able to see what he was and for whatever reason, I never tried to feed of him (thank goodness).
But all of this still did not explain this dark feeling I got around him. Something forboding.
He finally told me his line of Garou and in which way he is connected to Lord Sebastian Dante or
also called Zakir who was a Garou Elder or perhaps also called Antideluvian among their race.
I slowly became the feeling that he was trying to make a point by telling
me all of this. Was he actually trying to tell me that he wanted me to be
his Woman and Wife. You have no idea what this would mean, there is a law
what forbits a union like this.
Why would a man of his Race and age offer someone like this to me, a vampire who is not even
in love with him and still too unexperienced. I needed to know more about
this. What would happen if I denied his offer? Does he really love me this
strongly to take this chance and why? I mean, he always was polite and respectful to me
and has carried me on
hands and was able to read my wishes off my lips before I spoke them
out loud, but is this worth
breaking our laws?
So many questions I had, which I also spoke out towards him. Maybe that is what made him
break down and tell me the truth. He was trying to keep the peace among the Vampires and
the Garou in the region. And Seeing how my Adoptive father was the Prince of the Vampires in this region,
while he was the leader of the Garou, he thought by marrying me he could bring us all
together without that we have to fight it out. To hold the peace...
Needlessly to say I once again I had to deside if I liked him that much to
go against the law, my Father, my Sire and all those who were in charge of me.
So I asked more questions, never knowing if he will
tell me the truth or not. Asking him even what would happen if what we would do could even
be the cause of a war, as I am aware of the fact too, that surely the Garou would not
look too happily upon this, ...what to expect.
On top of it he showed me his true nature, the beast he really is.
His body began to transform, his skin growing grayish in color. His jaw
elongates as great 8" fangs erupt from his mouth and his ears become
more conch like as
he grows to over 9' tall as his eyes start to glow in an eerie red.
I remember how I staggered back slightly, afraid but curious at the same
time. And yes, he told me that if I could not control the beast within me,
It could turn out to be pretty nasty.
After he told me everything, I knew, he wanted an answer that very night.
There was no time to think much more, for the night was almost over.
And to tell you the truth, I had the feeling, that dark and forboding feeling
I talked about earlier, that he would try to kill me if I said "no",
I mean, he had me or us vampires right where he wanted us. He had me..to use or do with
as he pleased if I denied him. To either keep the peace..or start the war with me.
So after long thoughts about the pro's and con's, I agreed to join him, to marry him!
Later I did find out, that my feelings and thoughts were right, had I not agreed, he
would have tried to kill me to start the war among us over me.
I have to admit, the
dinners, his gentleness, his voice, his charm, promises and genuine
feelings was all playing a fact in that I slowly drew out of my shell and
agreed.
