task 001 - fondest or hardest memory
it was the year of 1986, pam and i were living our beautiful eternal lives in france. it was such a beautiful country and pam and i enjoyed spending our time draining and sleeping with the beautiful women of france. one woman in particular caught my eye, sylvie. we spent our nights fucking under the moonlight in the fields of her father's winery. i felt like i was on top of the world, nothing else mattered except her. i'm a vampire, what could they do to me? i could compel the memories out of her father if we got caught and i could kill anyone else who got in our way. that was until the authority came and everything came crashing down. they tried to talk some sense into me, but my mind was only on HER and spending as much time with her as i could. i was being too careless, even pam tried to talk some sense into me. she told us we needed to go, i could even take sylvie if i wanted but i still felt so powerful like i couldn't be stopped. i loved this country and sylvie wanted to finish school, we couldn't leave yet. i told pam to trust me because i would always protect her, i would not let anyone hurt her.
but i did get stopped and pam was suddenly in danger. in the middle of another beautiful night with sylvie, making love under the moonlight, the authority ordered the yakuza to come and make me pay the price of my careless actions. suddenly the most important women in my life had blades at their throats and i could only choose one. a mere human or my progeny, pamela. no matter how bad i wanted to save both - i knew what decision i had to make. i made an eternal commitment to my child, my love. we were supposed to walk to the ends of the earth together and i would keep that promise to her. i chose to save her, no love would compare to my love for pam. i protected her like i told her i would.
the pain i felt watching sylvie fall to the ground as they killed her was intense - something i didn't even know a vampire could feel for a human. it was my fault, i killed her. she was innocent, she didn't have anything to do with vampires until she met me. she was supposed to go to school and do something so much more with her life.
maybe that's why i can't find the energy to care for another human again? what's the point if they all die in the end? either by old age or the fact that they've found themselves involved with vampires. i love pamela, i always will, i will never regret my decision to save my progeny. but sometimes i just can't shake the pain of sylvie, my concept of humanity hit a steady decline after that. there's no point in giving humans my heart, it just doesn't make any sense when you're immortal and i only put them in danger.
i'm so sorry, sylvie.
and i love you, pamela. i will continue to protect and cherish you till the end of time.
