*he smiles a little* I look that old? And yes.. that would do it.

"Well, I said I wasn't good at guessing. What would you say you looked like?" She says defensively but then notices that he smiled, well just a little bit anyway.
The shops have practically all disappeared and now there's just the residential houses.

I don't know... maybe I do look that old. But my glasses make me look older. Here. *he reaches up and takes off his sun glasses and looks over. Surprisingly, he does look fairly young, when his face isn't twisted in irritation, or some kind of feigned malice. His sleepy-eyed expression gives him a weary, jaded air, but even under all that lies the hint of youth* I really wasn't all that old when I was taken..

"Oh you weren't born a vampire?" D looked a bit surprised, or was it because he did look alot younger without his glasses on... and without the usual frown or irritated expression?
"I didn't think vampires turned many other people into vampires too. Create more competition and such." She explains.
"Guess you don't remember much about it?"
(( Let's get a move on eh? They must have walked pretty far by now? ))
Without much warning the payment gives way to a more rough road. There are still houses around but they are bigger and on much larger properties. Plus there isn't many of them, there is only half a dozen in eyesight.

They don't usually. Born vampires are far more rare, however.
I... Listen.. it happened so long ago, I know what happened; I know it happened to me, but it was so SO long ago that it's lost its meaning for me. *he looks up at the night sky and makes a queer expression* I mean... I... it's like talking about something fictitious; like something out of a book, but it upsets other people. I don't want to upset you. I'll tell you if you'd like me to.

"I see. Well I wasn't expecting it to be the movie-like scene with the balcany and you in your nightgown." She trys to lighten the mood but she doesn't sound paricularly humourus.
She thinks a moment, weighing up the options.
"Do you think it would upset me?"

I think that it probably would. I would tell you, though, that it all happened a terribley long time ago... I don't know if that-- Well, it's silly for me to assume that you'd be sympathetic for me imparticular, but the situation was... disturbing.

"What makes you say that?" She looks up at him as they continue walking. "I mean, you were the one that got turns into a vampire. It's not like you asked for it...." her expression cahnges to one of surprise and curiousity. "Did you?"

Well, it's not so much the situation of my turning.. It was, but also I mean the reason.. *he stops, trying to collect his wits to try to explain* No, I didn't ask for it. It was forced on me. Along with everything else I was made to endure.

D winced inwardly, that didn't sound pleasent. Not pleasent at all.
What was he saying about her not being sympathetic? She already felt bad for him.... He was forced right? And that other comment, sounded almost as if he'd been tortured. Or was that just her overactive imagination?
She nodded and kept quiet. Watching him and waiting for him to tell her, if he hadn't changed his mind that is.

"I think... I think I would." she says, trying to sound sure of herself. He'd said it was upsetting but he'd gotten this far and it would leave her imagination and curiousity burning if he left it at that. How bad could it be right?

Alright. *he sighs* I suppose the best place to begin would be my mistress... She was on the look out for... ah, a protige, I suppose. I don't know, maybe just amusement. I think her last one had killed himself. In anycase, she took a fancy to me; I think her reasoning was that I was unusual.. tall, I think. M y whole family was. But.. really, I don't remember the situation involving my change. I'm sure she made it as horrible as she could. I don't recall if she dragged the rest of my family into it or not, though it was certainly her style.
*he goes on casually* I don't quite know what her problem was... I think she hated life, or something. I suppose she didn't deal well with living so long or perhaps something had been done to her, but she exaulted pain. And that was my job. To amuse her through pain. My pain, that is. She would hurt and violate me in every way she could possibley think of, and she had quite the knack for it. I was her toy, her plaything, to use in whatever way she saw fit.
The problem was, I wouldn't be broken to her will. I would do what she made me, because I had no way of escape, but I would always do it with a snap and a snarl. She hated me for it, and only tried that much harder. *he pauses for a moment*
Once she'd wound me up to a lunatic frenzy she'd let me loose on the populace. I would turn around all of my pent up rage and hurt on anyone I could, mostly women... *he takes in a sharp breath through his teeth, trying to keep calm* That's the part I regret. I know now that I had no right, but I was so... out of my mind with pain... I just wanted to take it out on someone. But I can't change what I've done....

D looks down at the ground as he talks. Silent and with an expression of mixed sympathy and horror. She's torn, he was tortured beyond imagination but he took out his pain on others..... obviously he was sorry for it now. But still....
"That's...." he voice sounds empty. "horrible."
"And I don't just mean that last bit, about taking it out on others." She states quickly and firmly. "All of that before it.... she tortured you.... "

*he shrugs a little* So she did... She was, well, she was crazy, and that's about all there is to it. I can hardly remember any of it, not instances, anyway... only... only sometimes I dream about it. But that doesn't happen too much anymore.
