Lady Briana___
A woman of diginity and coldness
The heart that is as good as dead
Her husband lost, her daughter kissed with immortalness
The secrets heavy, the sorrow like lead
Briana's story, for her to tell, you must earn trust..
Her family needs tae know this story, she weighs it heavily in
her cold heart, and begins to speak in a soft, tilted speech.
I used ta know the happiness of love and joy, until my husband
and I got lost in a storm with our small daughter, Chel..::she
stops, hesitating, then goes on:: My husband didna survive the
storm, plunging from a cliff we were tae blinded ta see...I
caught my daughter, my cries of rage fiercer than the storm...My
daughter was caught with fever...as was I...someone took us
in..and nursed us back to health, but when I awoke, my daughter
was gone. I didna know what happened to her..until I saw her one
day..recently...but the fever had affected her..and our being
apart..and she didna know who I was..she had just turned three
when she was lost to me..and it was just before her fourth
birthday..almost a year gone..a long time for one so young.
Before I could tell her who I was...she was wandering in a
tavern, and a kindred embraced her to darkness...making her a
childe...born to darkness for ever.
Now the childe's Sire plagues my mind night and day...whispering
dark warnings..that if I tell Chelsey who I am...I will lose my
mind..and kill Chelsey by my own hand...::she trails off a
moment, her voice ravaged by pain..she regains her composure::
Chelsey is my only reason for living..and I wadna do anything to
harm her...this is why she must no' know who I am...so I must
live on...the cold heartless vixen, with only verra few
friends...who have somehow managed to find my heart...and ta
them, I am loyal. FireFlair and Maleia have showed me nothing but
kindness, so when they offered me a place in their home, I could
no' resist...for...I do have a heart...::she stops abruptly, her
face a storm of conflicting emotions::
