It has been days, I am tired. Tired of being chained to this bed, Tired of being experimented on. Tired of living. I would have rather died at the hands of that machine then lay prisoner there. My only comfort is Mary. Her soul has returned to me. We have talked , and talked , and talked. She is finally seeing I am not the monster she thought I would be.
Mary: So, tell me about your wife Mary. I would love to know.
Rocker: (sighs) She was beautiful. As beautiful as the moon and the sky that it lies in. Her smile can bloom the flowers. Her touch and warm the coldest skin. I loved her more than life itself.
Mary: She must have been one hell of a gall. Tell me, how did she feel being married to a vampire.
Rocker: I wasn't a Vampire then. It was long ago in my homeland in Spain.
BARCELONA, SPAIN
I could remember it so well. That night was our anniversary. She was placing a rose by her ear as always. My heart, my love Maria. My name wasn't Rocker then. My name, my true name was Don Diego de la Rosa. I was from a noble family. I was a poet in the most amazing place in the world. We were at the bridge overlooking the river.
Maria: Look Diego, the sun is setting. The sun dips into the sea.
Diego: Yes my love. Look at it, it falls into it's sleep.
Maria: The end of one day, the promise of another. Life seems so endless.
Diego: It seems that way.
Maria: My love I have a surprise for you. I saw Doctor Del Rio today. he tells me I am expecting.
Diego: (joyful)My love!! This is such great news. How much time has passed?
Maria: The Doctor says two months. I can finally give you the son you've always wanted.
Diego: My love, I would prefer a daughter with her mothers eyes. I love you Maria. More than life itself.
Maria: My love, since I remember you have always been my love. Since we were school children and you would chase me around the pond holding that god awful frog.
Diego: (laughing) You remember that. You never forget such things.
Maria: I remember the night you first kissed me. I was so nervous I almost bit your lip.
Diego: We have wonderful memories you and I.
Maria: Soon, we will make more memories my love, you, I, and our child.
I have never felt such a love in my life. Maria was all to me. She was my sunrise, my sunset. The wind that refreshed me. She was all a man could ask for in a wife. I was the most happiest soul in existence. Our happiness however would not be welcome to a certain someone.
Her name was Francesca. She was a countess from Paris. She also loved me, but her love was unpure. She was a whore to the royal court. She was a practicioner of the black magic. She was a witch. There were rumors about a witch in our beloved town. No one knew who it was.
She had offered herself to me countless times, and countless times I have refused. She does not know nothing about love, true love that is. One day she turned her so called love into hate. When Maria and I returned home, We discovered our home burnt to the ground. Our servants murdered. Our livestock stolen. There was a horde of villagers there, and soldiers sent from the royal court. They came for Maria...
Diego: WHAT IS THIS MADNESS!!!!!!!! WHAT HAVE YOU DONE TO OUR HOME?!!!! I WILL SEE THE KING ABOUT THIS.
Captain: You will do no such thing Don de la Rosa. We have orders to execute your wife for witchcraft.
Diego: THAT IS OBSURD!!! SHE WOULD NEVER DO SUCH A THING. SHE IS PURE!!!!
Captain: We have proof Diego. I am sorry. you will be held and your wife executed.
The soldiers grab hold of Maria who was screaming my name. I tried so hard, sooo hard to fight for her. There were too many of them.
Diego: MARIA!!!!!!!!!!MARIA!!!!!!!!!!
Maria: OH GOD NO PLEASE!!!! OUR BABY!!! I AM WITH CHILD!!!!
That moment would burn in my memory forever. They tied her to a pole and they shot her in front of me. I ran to her laying body and held her for the last time.
Diego: (sobbing) I am sorry my love. I am soo sorry. I love you, lord I do. Maria, I love you so much.
They then tied me and the soldiers beat me the next day. They prepared plots for my wife and I at the charred ruins of our home. As they kept me tied Francesca came in the night. I was not able to speak, my jaw was broken.
Francesca: So know you stand here a broken man. They took all that you loved away from you. Death would be a way out. A way to join your beloved Maria in the afterlife. But no, you will not die, you will be cursed to walk the earth. Cursed to know the blood of man.
She then opened my mouth and poured blood down my throat. I went into convulsions, into a terrible shake of death. My veins were burning, my heart beating hard. I was dying. When the guards found me they thought I had died. So they picked me up and threw me in the plot next to my wife and buried me. No coffin, just threw dirt on me. I was there buried for two days until the moment I just opened my eyes. I panicked and rose from under the ground. It was raining, the dirt was mud, and heavy. I still rose to the surface. The cold rain cleansed my body but not my soul. I had this terrible hunger, this thirst. My stomach was cramping so much from the pain. I went back to where they held me and saw only two soldiers there. They were packing the last of my valuables. They saw me and tried to grab their weapons. I leaped so high , so strong that I landed on both of them and pinned them to the floor. They begged for mercy, they begged for life. But, the only scream I could hear was that of my beloved Maria. That scream would haunt my dreams until this very day.
Rocker: From that day I knew nothing of love nor happiness. I had lost my love, my child. My life. I never saw Franesca again, and I have searched all over this earth. I was once human, once mortal, but more important. I was once in love.
Mary: (crying) I am sorry. I truly am sorry. I have to go now.
She ran out the room crying, my story touched her so. She has Maria's soul, for that I am certain. I must leave this place, must get free. My strengh is almost there. I concentrate my mental energy to reach out. Reach out to someone whom can help me, reach out to and old friend.
Rocker: Lord Dhuckc, Lord Dhuckc, hear me............
The Coven of Damadeskinos
Lord Dhuckc was studying a book of magic when my thought hit him like a fist. He falls to the floor, it alerts Nyasia and 8th Sin who run in to help him.
Nyasia: Lord Dhuckc, are you okay?
Lord Dhuckc: Yes. yes, it's him.
Nyasia: Who? WHO?
Lord Dhuckc: He is calling to me. Rocker, it's Rocker!
