My Name Is Sita

Authors Note: This is a character development piece on the main character of Thirst: Human Urges Fatal Concequences  I felt I needed to improve on this skill, and I hope I did so.

            My name is Sita; I am vampire, and that is the truth. Not Braham Stockers envision. I have taken years to truly be sure. I do need normal food, as I do get hungry; but blood is much more of a necessity. I do need blood, but I do not kill my victims; the two are not related, in any way. Though I do like to kill.

            As a younger vampire, I regretted my change, and rejected what I was becoming. I didn’t drink blood for weeks, until I thought I was dying. Yakasha forced me to drink the blood of an innocent, and I killed for the first time. I continued to kill from then on, and it grew on me.

            It has been a long five thousand years since I was first changed but I still pray to Krishna for mercy on my soul when I finally die. I do not hope my death comes so soon; I still have to find my Rama, my love. I have had many lovers, but none I could love more than my Rama, whom I sacrificed my life to save.

            When I thought I found him again, I lost him to Yakasha once again. But lovers could line up for miles, waiting to entertain me, though with one look, I could turn them on themselves. Entertainment is not easy to run out of, nor is it unending. Love can last, and it will find me; it will last until the very end of my time, and I have no doubt of that. I will keep Joel safe, and I won’t lose him. I have lost too much already.
