| The Tale of the Twins-COMPLETE |
     |
So this is the story for me and my twin brother Lestat. He did help on some of this, I'm just better at this kind of thing then he is. Look to him for any art or music.
---------
I remember the day we decided to start the clan like it was yesterday. It was cold in the cave, the kind of cold that chills the bone and freezes the blood. Luckily, my twin brother and I could not feel the icy air. We hardly needed to breathe, only needing the rich blood of humans to survive. We had been wandering aimlessly for quite some time, attacking whoever we came across, when we felt the need to. No one had retaliated, the prospect of facing two vampires deterring most.
The sun had begun to rise, so we took shelter. Lestat sat across from me, guns at his sides, his black armour and blacker hair blending into the darkness of the cave, leaving the impression that only a floating face occupied the darkness. His blue eyes glowed in the opaque darkness, brighter than any time in our human years.
Our human years…three thousand years had passed since we could call ourselves mortal. But, it seemed sometimes that no time had passed at all. I remember the day that set everything in motion as if it was yesterday. We were six years old. I had just awoken at a friends’ house to find out that our parents were dead. Lestat had been at another friends’ house, giving our parents a night free from us. And what did they do? They got themselves killed. It hadn’t been their fault; really, they were in the wrong place at the wrong time.
That memory led me onto the years that followed. It seemed no one wanted to adopt us, even our own extended family made excuses. For four years we went from orphanage to orphanage until finally, we were taken in. But, fate has a way of turning a positive thing rotten, like a worm in a juicy red apple.
Our new parents berated us, not physically, but mentally and emotionally. They used our ages to get pity from other family members and the government to get money. They used us when we became old enough to work, to get money. They took our wages and spent our hard earned money on their booze and their expenses. We moved two months before our eighteenth birthday. I’ve learned that fate has a way of kicking you when you finally get back up.
The war started shortly after and again, we were left homeless, this time because of fighting. We ran; that’s all we could have done. We did not stand and fight; we would have been killed either way and we did not want to die. We left the city taking with us not much more then the clothes on our backs, our distinctive skills and some money. Finally, fate smiled on us.
We had been travelling for months, exhausted from running and working with no permanent place to stay. One evening, bandits came upon us, threatening to kill us for what little we owned. We managed to fight them off for awhile, but soon they overwhelmed us. Suddenly, a blur of motion began tearing through their ranks. I had been struck in the head; Lestat was run through with a sword. We knew nothing; we thought we would never know again.
We woke to find ourselves alive and significantly more powerful than before. Our naturally alabaster skin was paler, our naturally bright blue eyes, unnaturally brighter and our untameable raven locks, manageable. We could see farther than ever before. We could smell the autumn air, and noticed it was filled with death. It dawned on us then what happened. We had become vampires.
The years passed swiftly. We busied ourselves with studying alchemy and magic. We learned how to use many different weapons, everything from the ancient bows and arrows to modern guns. Lestat developed a great weakness for these new weapons and began collecting every one he could find. He gathered a great collection and even now is biding his time before he brings out his ‘secret’ weapon. We watched in awe as the world grew from one of farming and tilling to one of technology. Just as swiftly as it arose, it was destroyed by the third world war.
“Lysandra?” Lestat asked. I woke from my thoughts, staring into a vaguely worried expression.
“Sorry Lestat. I was just thinking.” I replied. He nodded, knowing too well of my occasional ways of leaving the real world for one of memory and fantasy. He looks out of the cave and into the skies, barely visible from so far in the cave. A smile grew on his face and he laughed lightly.
“We’re really gonna do it, eh? We’re gonna get our family?” He asked, staring away from me. I laughed.
“Yes. A family of darkness.” I told him, sensing that the sun was long dead. The cave had been brighter when we first entered it. Now it was so dark, Lestat was reduced to a pair of blue eyes, hovering in front of me. He laughed again and stood. I followed suite and we left, two lone hunters on a new mission. A mission to gain the family we never had.
We brought forth our clan, the Family of Darkness. Our third, DeathJam, joined swiftly and others followed. We learned from them, they learned from us. We protected them when we could and they did the same. It seems now that after 3000 years, we have our family and I know; we will never let fate take that away from us again.

very good, cant wait for the next bit, someone should really collect stories like this and put them into a book, very good reads.
im guessing you end with speech because it serves as a cliffhanger?

yes I'm amping you all up for nothing...lol. Part six isnt ready yet and may not be ready for a bit yet. The weekend is over and work starts again tomorrow so I can't spend all day writing again. But thank you all for the comments and yes someone should gather all these and put them in some sort of book.
Be ready for a long one by the way there's a lot I have planned. And if anyone sees any errors in spelling, point them out. I want to correct them

I've edited part two to add more description. No major plots changes, I hint at things that may be important later. Subtle forshadowing is fun...lol.
and thanks Titan, I'll get to it eventually...lol

minshres hit the nail on the head there...lol
and yes the issues with Lestat and work have been taking time out from working on this. I have started editing part 2 and if I'm not busy tonight, the edited version will be up.
Tibit for the next chapter: about four more clan mates inroduced, two of those four come in by fighting Lestat and I
. The chapter after that one will be a basic summary with details on who came first. That will be the chapter where Lestat and I will dicuss our magic in full and talk about our lives in detail.
After that we'll be fighting the mobs.
Just as a note, only my clan mates will be used in this story, I'm not mentioning any other clans or other members. So if a person was a member of DARK or NIGHT, they will be mentioned. If not, they won't. If you would like a part in it in any way even if just your name is mention, message me in game with a basic decription of what you want to look like and tell me how far I can take your character. I don't want to write in someone as a bad guy then have them be angry at me for it. If I don't end up using your character, don't take offense, I probably couldn't find a way to fit you in. The story is based mainly on the characters-not the game itself, so don't expect expo monsters and clan wars between EOD and DARK or other things like that.
EDIT: Part three the edited version is up.

All writers do it, it makes you eagerly anticipate their next work of literature, so when they release it everyones like "OMG! At last!!!!" then they rush out and buy it
