Katrina Marie Reyes
Maker: Marius
Date of Death: Spring 2002, Florence Italy
Where to start ? My mortal life was short. A span of only sixteen years. I'm in the body of a teenager, and still don't look my age. I don't mind, not one bit. My name is Katrina Reyes. As it stands now, I am a child of darkness. An immortal. A vampire. Any, and all of those relate to me. I'll give you a bit of information of my mortal life.
I was born in America. Though I can't remember anything of it. I was only two, when both my parents died. Another bit of my history I can't remember much of. I can't say it saddens me, because it doesn't. I was too young to remember their kindness, or their cruelty. I was taken in by an uncle who worked with an organization known to any as, the Talamasca.
( Yes. I am sure you've heard of it through Lestat's books. As well as a few of the others. But, it was Lestat that made the order known to mortals across the globe. )
I came to them as an ordinary child, or so I've been told. They loved me, that much I know of. It was a place filled with adults alike. No children. All but me that is. They showed me of how a 'lady' was to act. But I never acted as one. I was still a child. I had, and still do, a wild and free soul. I don't want to act as a society expects me to. But, sometimes I do act as a lady. Only for one important individual.
I kept my mind, eyes, and ears open for every little thing. I learned of how to read, write, and speak Latin, Italian, German, French and even my culture, Spanish. I am fully Spanish. This I know from my uncle who gave me every bit of information on my parents, or so he says. I was also taught mind veiling, for protection of course. This I practiced, day in, and day out. I was placed under the watchful eyes of those who knew of Psychic powers. I hadn't known myself that I was showing signs of having telekinesis.
Once I found that I did indeed have this amazing power, I was taught all things of the mind. As I was born naturally with psychic and mediumistic abilities, I have had to deal the problems on a much bigger scale as my sensitivity is probably a thousands times more than the average person. And now, possibly immortal. Controlling my powers would take time because of this.
I grew tired of this. Seeing as I was reaching my teenage years, I wanted something worth wild. I wanted to break free of this one field and move to the next! Of course growing with the Talamasca, I knew of a field that was forbidden to me. Vampires. I was always intrigued with them. Who couldn't be ? We knew they existed. We had proof! I wanted my OWN proof. So at the age of fourteen, I went out on my own and started to watch them. Those that I found were weak, as far as I could feel. They sparked my interest for a little while but, I wanted more. I wanted something more powerful. For almost two years I was satisfied with this watching of those weaker immortals. I took notes of where they might rest. Where they feed. Of where they would be about during the night. I won't lie and say I was never confronted by one, for I have. I always managed to worm my way from them. If not, would I be here tonight writing this ?
The coven of the Articulate.
Now that was more like it! A coven that had members from the beginning of time. Six thousand years in age! Was this heaven sent, or hell sent ? Oh I did not care. I wanted this! More then anything I had ever wanted. To watch them, and study them! I studied up on them. I wanted to know of all. Now I do. I read every single book on them. Written by them. It was all worth my entire time. So before my sixteenth birthday, I took off for Florence. There was rumoured to be a gathering of sorts of this coven. Indeed there was. I had my mind veiled, but not to it's full extent. Mael. He found my thoughts open. He approached me. Dare I say I fell in love at first sight ? Yes. I did. His beauty, his power, and just him struck me full force. He was cold at first, but I broke through that barrier. I broke into the kindness that he had. I was never more happier then I was, AM, talking with him. I could do just that alone for my eternity. He told me things that I wanted to know.
I was swept up by his world. By him. I wanted it all! How I wanted to embrace him. Beg him to show me it all. With talking of him, I manged to meet Marius, Daniel, and Lestat. It wasn't long before the order knew of where I was, and of those who I was dancing with my life with. A choice was to be made. The organization I owe so much to, or Mael.
It was easy. I wanted Mael.
Of how I was made, that I will not say. But, I was turned. Not by my beloved Mael that I love with all of my heart. This I might be thankful. We don't have the blocking of the minds. We can communicate through our minds, as well as verbally. So in time, there won't be the distance fledgling and maker feel.
There you have it. A part of me that has been shared with you all.
