Their Destiny
Chapter One: Her Diary.
Hello Diary,
I cant help but think I am a mere pawn in this elongated game of chess. Every morning brought blood shed, battle and then the devastating search. I wake up not thinking about life and all that it gifts but duty, duty to my kind. I wake up with the absolute intention to serve my own. Although this is what I exactly expected my life to become somehow I was growing tired of it. It made me think that my whole entire life was a routine. It followed this strict routine that I had no right to break. I always knew this was going to be my life and I'd be a fool to expect anything else but now it didn't seem enough. Don't get me wrong, Diary, I am not waiting for anything better to happen or for anything to change for that matter, I know better than that, yet sometimes I feel I cant go on like this. My mother always told me that we born to serve the pure blooded ones. She always told me that there were things that I would begin to want but I should realize while there is still time that nothing better would be coming our way. We had a purpose to serve. We had a whole legacy to protect and preserve. It was our obligation to prevent mistakes. And once you're born a guardian, this fate is inevitable. And I wasn't rebellious in nature, I knew very well that this is how its been since time began. I knew that any change in the way we live our lives could have fatal damage to our survival in this world. This wasn't only our habitat. We shared it. Humans claimed a rightful half of it but sadly in their world, they didn't know of our existence. Yes, they wrote a few novels and made a few baseless movies on us but hey, they categorize it as "fiction" themselves and we have no intentions of breaking their ever wonderful dream, in fact we encourage them to believe the world is theirs alone. The reason is that although we are faster in movement and certainly much more powerful, we are greatly out numbered. Hypothetically speaking, if they found out about our existence and decided that we were a threat then we would be wiped out in no time, so you could say that for safety precautions we would like to live hidden. Hiding our truth was the greatest duty as a guardian. And I know Diary that by now you might think that I am a devoted guardian but the truth is that if there were any mistakes in my half or my coven's than there were great consequences for me and that followed me. The coven was the closest thing I knew to a family and I couldn't let anything hurt them. My coven meant a group that followed my orders. When we are 18, an official adult, based on our physical and mental capability, it was decided by the elderly whether we should become a coven leader or follower. This was a very important in a guardian's life, a day they waited to decide whether they should follow or lead. While they anxiously waited, I knew I was going to be a leader. I was by far faster then others and the elderly knew this for a fact. After the leaders are chosen, the leaders get to choose their follower guardians and, as sad as this may sound, this is the only choice we are allowed to make in regards to our life. For some reason, I still cant manage to understand, I let the other leaders, who jumped in joy, to choose first. The only four that were left out, by default became part of my coven. This is probably the time I should clarify, Diary, that although all guardians grow up with the dream of becoming a leader, once they are announced a "follower" they accept their fate like they wished for this to happen since birth. Hypocrites, you may say? I know. I felt the same but that was 3 years ago. Now I know my coven followed me like they dreamed of this day. I always suspected foul play, like the elderly must have manipulated their thoughts or something but I was wrong and I understood this by the various times they risked their lives to save mine. I am not sure what is role do family members play in an in an individual's life but the coven was far close to me to be called mere friends so I call them my family. I know, Diary that you are probably questioning my mother's influence but the reason why I say the coven is my family and not my mother is that my mother has always been more of a teacher, a mentor, and definitely the one that made me comfortable with the way I lived. Our relationship was formal, I sincerely have no other words to describe it. So you see, Diary, I was committed guardian, not because I was destined to be but because if I wasn't then I would only end up hurting the ones I loved. My life was about protecting my own and in 21 years of life, I have come to realize that this is probably the most sensible purpose my life could serve. I know, Diary that I made my life sound like it was all work and no play but I guess that's how its shaped up. Since 7 years of age, we are all trained to fight, with the exception of the pure blooded ones. And when we have set up our covens, the purpose of lives become obvious, just as the guardians before us, we had to maintain the hidden state of our nature and kill all the threats that come forth. But our lives had a slight difference with the guardians of the past, we had to use our little spare time to search for the pure blooded heir. I hate to tell you this story because it bored the life out of me as a kid but I need to in order to state the difference. And as the depressive story goes, once, after a very long time there was a pure blooded boy born and pure blooded girl. The two created an atmosphere of celebration since it meant that our race was not going to be extinct. In very frank words, they were to get married and then try to create a family of their own as soon as possible but fate played its little game and the boy was abducted. No one knows who took him and where and ever since the little blonde pure blooded princess waits for this unseen boy to come back as a man and make her his wife. I know I am being a little insensitive while narrating the story but the ironic truth is that I was born on the same day and while they were saviors, I was called the forbidden child. And there is a strong reason for that too. Apparently my mother and the princess' father were in love and by tradition, he had to choose the pure blooded over my mother who was nothing but a silly old guardian and so he did which overwhelmed the elderly, little did they know that I was on my way. And so me, the sacred blonde and the lost sacred child were born on the same day. It was decided that I should be killed but because I was the offspring of my, now, dead father and they knew they could make use of strength they let me live till I have this strength. That was the deal. The day I become a normal guardian that would be the last day of my life. There is little known about children who are of mixed race, by that I am referring to half guardian and half pureblooded since there wasn't any child other than me in the recent times. Only in legends are "we" spoken of, and not in very good terms, I might add. The only known fact is that at some point of our lives we would turn into mere guardians and lose our powers as pure blooded ones. So for the time being, diary, you're at very trustable hands. But as I leap into my bed and prepare to smuggle you under my pillow, I very well know that the next day will bring more blood shed, battles and the unwanted search…. Then again what was I expecting considering what I am, a blood thirsty vampire.
