The Tale of Christina

CECILIA TAN

I know A SECRET as old as the world, a secret as deep as the ocean and as dark as coal. I know how vampires are born. I also know what you are thinking right now: you think of the bite, the blood. But it is not blood that makes a vampire. No. It is the wanting. Vampires are forged in the heat of desperate desire; vampires are birthed in the waters of a need so intense that their very souls do drown. Have you ever wanted something so much? So much that you would die for it? Kill for it? Lose your soul for it? So it is with vampires. When the wanting becomes of fever pitch, the magic ignites and transforms one from mortal being into the pure embodiment of hunger, of need, of desire. Ah, but you want to know, what about the blood? You are so sure it must have something to do with that.... Well, perhaps there is magic in all blood ties. Of course, the wanting hurts. It hurts more than ever. And the blood... the blood is only one way to quench the fire. Perhaps the quickest, easiest way if just for a little while. I have discovered others. What else will you ask? Holy water, the sign of the cross...I have not found them deadly. But the Christians have good reason to call us enemies, for their faith is founded on denying one’s desires, delaying one’s gratification. For us, that is our life. We live for desire eternally.
