CHAPTER FIVE:

The always genteel Aro took my notice of leaving seemingly well, but I could sense easily from all three of the eerie vampires that they thought that my quest for conquering human thirst would fail. But I couldn't give up. I wouldn't. So I went from Italy with excessive knowledge and a heavy, frozen heart. I traveled everywhere you could think of. The world suddenly became such a small place when you had endless time to explore it. I decided on England as my semi-permanent residence, as I felt an impulse towards my motherland. But I still wanted to know more, I wanted to use my abilities to explore the lands humans had not the skill to explore. I swam around looking, and smelling for new and interesting scents or lands. I found many places not many were notable, I came across many vampires, but the ones that I had the most friendship with was a wild coven from a tropical land I came across. They were far from civilized, but they were interesting people. Their skin was dark which had an odd effect on the 'vampire skin'. Of course they were red eyed. But they were kind towards me. Their names were Kachiri, Senna, and Zafrina. Zafrina could do a wondrous thing, she could create some sort of illusion of making you see things that weren't there, temporarily blinding you. The vampire world came up with many surprise such as this for example, another vampire I came across, Benjamin, could manipulate the elements. It was truly astounding what talents and gifts there were. I traveled eastward, with no particular destination in mind. The east was dense with forest, it simply felt like I was in an endless wilderness with the occasional tribal village. It was vampire heaven and human hell. One day I was hunting a tiger near a river. I pounced, and finished my meal as neatly as I was able and went to wash my clothes, in case I came upon any villagers. When I was coming out from the bank, I saw a villager woman staring at me in awe. She was quite short, with silky black hair flowing down her rustic clothes. Her eyes formed perfect little almonds. Her mouth frozen in a pretty 'o'. This was why I had studied every language known to both vampire and man.
