No More Vampires Please

Dear Jen,

Really? I mean really?! Vampires? Oh, and not just vampires, no, that’s not enough. They have to shift into animals and fly through walls and read each other’s thoughts. REALLY?

You hate me, don’t you? No, don’t answer that question. I don’t want to know. Oh, I learned from Ana’s characters and did a little digging in your head. Let me just say I do not like the ideas you have for future books. That clan of Asian vampires is especially scary and I hope you never really get to bring them into the story. Holy crap. With all the evil plots you already have in mind for me, you’re still thinking of more vampires? More bad guys?

I think I’m a pretty tough girl, don’t get me wrong, but um … sometimes I think you have a little too much faith in me. Remember, I’m new to this vampire stuff. Keep that in mind. New. Say it with me. N-E-W. As in still adjusting, you know?

And for the record, I would still like to go back to being a squishy human. Can we do that? After all the vampire butt-kicking, of course.

Thanks,

Jenna Marx

Introducing Jenna and Jesu

Jenna:     Hi, I’m Jenna Marx and um … this is really weird. Look at me, I’m blogging and I don’t even have a physical body. Okay about me. Well, I’m the main character from Dark Heirloom. I’m from Chicago, but I get kidnapped by Jalmari and taken to Finland where I’m then turned into a vampire. Or vampyre, I should say. Jen sent me to Hell and back in the first book … literally. It was crazy. And not to mention scary as … well … Hell.

So now I live in this huge castle … really. A castle. Think gothic arches, gargoyles, the works. *Laughs* Who knew I’d go from the slums of the city to that? *shrug*

Jesu, the blue looking guy you’ll meet in a minute, is also a vampire, but he’s pretty cool as far as vampires go. He’s … nice. Yeah, that’s the word. I mean, at least he’s trying to help me figure this mess out. I just … I just need to stop drinking blood around him. It makes me do weird things. Things I wouldn’t normally do ….

~*~*~*~

Jesu:     Yenna, you will learn to control the bloodlust in time. Do not worry. And … you know I do not mind the after effects so much.

Hello humans. I am called Jesu ta Korento. I am Jalmari’s younger brother and second prince of the Neo-Draugrian clan. Being a prince has its benefits and makes up for being a vampire (as opposed to being a vampyre, which is a higher title in our society). However, I am happy to let my brother worry about the politics of running a clan as large as ours. He has proven himself more than worthy of the position.

As Jenna said, I spend my nights helping her learn to control her new powers and her thirst. She is improving, but there is still so much for her to learn about our world and she must learn it fast.

~*~*~*~

Jenna: Ugh. Again with the “you must learn to defend yourself” speech. *Rolls eyes*

~*~*~*~

Jesu: … it is for your own good, Jenna. Everyone should know how to defend themselves.

~*~*~*~

Jenna: I just don’t see why it’s necessary. I mean, the blood drinking part, yeah, I’d love to nick that in the bud. But the other stuff? *Shakes head*

~*~*~*~

Jesu: You do realize you might still be human if you had known how to defend yourself before all this happened, right? May I finish my part of the blog now?

~*~*~*~

Jenna: Fine.

~*~*~*~

Jesu: Thank you. As I was saying, I spend my nights helping Jenna. During the day, I pass the hours painting in my room or reading.

~*~*~*~

Jenna: And by reading, he means finding 10,000 paged text books bound in rubber bands for me to study…

~*~*~*~

Jesu: *Sigh* May I be excused?

~*~*~*~

Jenna: And so, in conclusion, Jesu is going to stuff vampire knowledge down my throat until I choke on it.

~*~*~*~

Jesu:     I would never choke you. I would never even dream of hurting you. You know that right?

~*~*~*~

Jenna: Jesus Chri –. It’s called sarcasim, Jesu. On that note, I think I’m done blogging for today.

~*~*~*~

Jesu: Yes, so am I. We should get some flying practice in before the dawn.

~*~*~*~

Jenna: *Groans* Oh, here we go …
