Back to The Beginning~ Part 1
Years had past
changes had to be made now going by her middle name Olivia had left
her home, boarding it all up until she returned again maybe after a
few more decades she would go back but for now she moved on. Doing
some traveling was next in her agenda before taking off she would
visit all her siblings spending a few months with each going back to
what she once was. Being with Danica brought back so many memories of
her early life as a vampire them together always caused some unwanted
attention but Olivia loved it, Asher of course made Olivia realize
some things are never meant to last that being what we are that’s
something we'll get use to. Octavia was somewhat like Olivia wanting
to have it all the immortal aspect and some of the norm. The time
went by quickly relearning her vampire ways also teaching herself
that heartbreak would not stop her she would rise above it life would
go on and she had plenty of time to search for one that would
complete her in all ways.
She had saved
visiting her blood siblings for last seeing Adelisa was like home for
her since Adelisa had their mothers looks spending time with her and
Anthony felt so comfortable Olivia was very protective of her baby
sister but seeing how much Anthony cared for her made it easy to not
worry as much she had found her happy ever after. Last was Damien
which now would be different since he was now enchanted by a human
princess named Noelle of France. Olivia had meet Noelle many times
before they had already grown a bond Noelle knew of what and who the
Talos were so they all could be themselves around her. Olivia was
also hired as a wedding planner of sorts which was an honor for her.
Time with Damien was fun filled with laughs, booze and what ever
Damien could come up.
Olivia had planned a
long trip doing some traveling in Europe maybe see some old friends
or even make new ones. Her first flight was to Spain where her father
had come from she knew a few old relatives would still live there she
would never approach them but she enjoyed watching them from a
distance making sure they were doing well. She did most traveling at
night not that she couldn't go in the day but her eyes still got
sensitive to the sunlight making the color of her eyes non-human to
many stares and whispers for her taste. Reaching an old village
outside of Madrid she found her fathers birth house outside sitting
by an old tree was an old man he was carving something out of bark he
looked so familiar but from what Olivia could remember her
grandparents would have already passed years ago getting a little
close the front door of the house opened a woman walked out a few
words were exchanged the old man just waved his arms angrily at her
the woman went back in the old man continued his carving Olivia was
now a few trees away now able to get a better look and smell. The old
man looked like her father well what he might have looked like now in
old age.
Slowly falling to
her knees she wanted to weep but no tears would be seen all she could
do was sit and stare at the old man she couldn't recall if she was
ever told that her father had a twin brother but he must of she
thought to herself, an urge came over her to run to the old man to be
in his arms like all little girls do wanting to feel safe and told
that all would be okay by their fathers but that could not be she sat
for what seemed hours just staring at him thinking about what he knew
of his family would it be so bad to make herself known to him what
would an old man think of a vampire niece it was getting darker now
again the door opened the lady came out fought again with the old man
but this time at the end she helped him up walking him to the door
what a struggle it was he seemed not even to be able to walk the
short distance the door shut behind them Olivia waited a bit before
leaving she noticed he left behind his carving knife and bark she
walked over just behind the chair he was sitting in was small pieces
of bark with designs on them kneeling down to have a look she was
shocked to see his work they were a few carvings of children to be
more accurate it was her, Adelisa and Damien.
Olivia heard some
arguing coming from the house from what she got out if it the old man
knew he forgot his knife outside and was telling the woman to go get
it. Quickly Olivia took one of the carving pieces in her vampiric
speed she was now a few trees away from the home the woman came out
cursing Spanish words under breath retrieving the old mans knife and
going back in. Olivia smiled taking a seat down by the tree she was
hiding behind her fingers traced over the deep cuts of the carving
she felt overwhelmed with joy knowing that her and the others were
never forgotten by her family. Olivia waited until it was pitch black
before going on her way to find her first prey of the long night ….
