He wondered what thoughts were now being tossed around in that pretty head of hers, he wondered if he had told her too much, he didn't want to lie to her though, and besides if she hadn't run off by now with all that she had seen than what was a few more grisly facts?
"Well, " he started as he began to answer her question, "I am 450 years old, I was born in 1565 in Germany, I was 27 years old when I was turned, I was an Officer in the Cavalry, we were on a drill in the dead of winter, it was snowing heavily and I had become separated from my squadron, night had fallen and I was totally lost and I knew that my squadron wouldn't even begin a search until morning and even then only if I was lucky. Anyway, I thought I was going to die, in fact I did die" he said with a grim laugh.
"My horse ended up dying and I took shelter within it by cutting open it's belly and crawling inside, it was not pleasant but it was warm enough, anyway I began getting more and more tired and I had heard the worst thing you could do was to fall asleep in these situations, I tried to stay awake but failed, a little while later I heard a female voice crying out to me from the treeline, I thought it was an Angel coming to take me at last, she appeared, a blonde women with blue eyes and a beautiful face she would not have been more than 16, she was not wearing clothing that suited the weather and I asked her if she were an Angel, she just smiled at me grimly and kept approaching until she was close enough to pull me from the horse's belly with one hand and then with me still on the ground without enough strength to move she sunk her fangs in and turned me" he said to her.
"And so I learned her name was Ivana, she had recently been turned herself and was on the look out for a companion as her sire was killed shortly after she was turned. We were together for 60 years before she herself was killed by vampire hunters" he explained to her.
"How many have I killed? Too many to remember, a rough number? Maybe 60-70, keeping in my mind I was a soldier so I had killed as a human as well" he explained.
