Chapter 3

I woke up to a new life. My eyes could see every tiny detail, and hear anything. I could hear the leaves fall around me, something that before had seemed so silent. Lin had carried me to a small house just outside the boarders of Ashenvale. The rest of my family was there, settling down. They knew there was no going back.

I remember when Linaah had told me about Blake. When I first saw him, I had felt uncomfortable around him. Something was mysterious about him, something that I had not wanted to find out. But Linaah had of course gone after him. And here we were. Doomed to live eternally. How Blake had gotten this curse, I did not know. He seemed to enjoy it; well it sure looked like it. He had brought some animals, and he taught Katherine how to feed off of them. It was the blood that he said we needed. Lin looked happy while watching Blake take care of her little sister. She must have gone crazy, or why did she choose this life? Doesn’t matter now really. What is done is done.

I had been walking around and had noticed that we sure were not still in Ashenvale. The leaves were now a different color. Red, brown and yellow. It took me a while to discover that this was Azshara. I sat down on a hill to watch the sunset, when Blake appeared behind me. He sat down next to me, glaring at me with deep, golden eyes. “Andarana” he sighed. “I believe you have questions to ask me, am I correct?”

I nodded. “Why us, Blake?”
“Your sister is extraordinary. From the first moment I saw her, I knew something would happen to her. She must have been the most beautiful girl in that town. Of course the other girls would have to take action some day. I am glad I was around to save her when that actually did happen.” He said, his voice was soft and comforting. “We are not undead, dear Andarana. We breath, we bleed and we can be killed, though not easily, and I have been living for a long time, trying to find purpose in this life. That is when Lin comes in” he said, and I trusted him. There was something about him that wasn’t evil, even though he looked like something that the elders in the village had warned us about. His long, dark hair was hanging down on his shoulders, and his skin was pale white. His eyes, on the other hand, were beautiful. The golden eyes made me feel comfortable around him now. “There was a reason why I went into the inn right after arriving in your village. I had noticed Lin and my hunger for her lingered in my body. I believe I drank around fifty bottles of water before she entered the inn. The water soothes us when we know that the person we will spend the rest of our life with is around you. I had heard it from my father, that is was like that when he first met my mother.”“Your sister is my life now. And I am sure you will find your purpose in life soon.” He brushed my cheek and said something in another language that I did not quite understand. “Blake… I caught my own reflection in the water earlier today”, I said. “…and I don’t look I used to.” He laughed softly and answered me “Your old elf features are still there, but you look more ‘human’ now. That is what my father told me.” He helped me get up and we walked in silence back to the house until I asked him a question that had been on my mind for hours. "Yes, Andarana. You will look like you do now, but your feautures will become more beautiful. We are blessed with eternal beauty to lure our preys into thinking that we are just simple people with beautiful faces. Your body will change too. Your face will still make people believe you are seventeen, but your body will grow and devolop new muscles. One twitch of your fingers could break someone" he told me. I thought about that and how much fun I could have if I really hated someone.When we got back to the house, Lin came running towards us and jumped into Blake’s arms. My twin sister Katherine came up to me, and she spoke in her soft voice “We are moving to Eldre’Thalas, Andie. Do you know what that means?” I looked at her with a confusing look on my face. “We’re going to meet High Elves.”
