Some say vampires can not dream. I beg to differ. Unfortunately I tend to have this dream the same day every year...
I can remember back when I was a human. My brother, Alec, and I had been helping our parents prepare for our birthday feast but now I am in my bed chamber donning my ball gown. It was so exquisite. Beautiful royal blue silk with black lace trim. The corset was fastened just enough to accentuate my developing curves with just a hint of roundness at my bosom. My hair was pulled high on my head and made into perfect ringlets that grazed the nape of my neck when I turned. My father has given me a special birthday gift that I so pleased to be able to wear tonight. A diamond and sapphire necklace with earrings to match. They are the same deep blue shade as my eyes and match my dress perfectly. Sometimes, I miss the shade of my human eyes. They matched my striking personality. *grins* I put on my slippers and proceed to join the festivities. Mother is not pleased that I am late but I care not. I look over to my darling brother and see him bow his head to me. I blush and feel myself start to calm. I turn to my left and see my dear father. He has his hand outstretched towards me. I place mine in his and he begins to twirl me around the dancing area. For that brief moment, he and I are the only people there. The music stops and my brother joins us in the center. My father presents us to their friends. I remember Alec and I were allowed to have a drink. I still remember its taste, sweet at first and then the bitterness stung the back of my throat.....
The dream starts to fade away and I am saddened by the loss of my innocence that I have long forgotten. My body may still resemble that of a child but that is a mere faded memory. Long ago I have accepted my immortality, embraced it even. I assume the "child" that is in me is still there somewhere. She dare not show her face. She must stay deep down and locked away; to only be remembered in my dreams...
The dreams that I still have......
