I am always. I was not always always, but I am always now and forever more. I live a life eternal. I am not vampiric. Do not confuse yourself. I do not suffer from the drawbacks nor do I carry their strengths. I am something far different. What I am' I am whomever I choose to be, within limits. I cannot change my original sex nor can I alter the tone of my skin. But I can change the color of my hair and eyes. I can make myself shorter or taller, younger or older. I can crawl into a woman's body and become a child within her womb. I have done it on occasion, but it is a tiring task. When was I born" It was during the early 14th century. I was turned before the Black Death came and claimed so many lives. I was a young girl of seventeen years then. Now I am just old. Though, looking at me you wouldn't know it. I have no name. I do not bother with them as others do. The name given to me upon birth has long been forgotten. I wear names now as I wear my face and body. It is only another part to the disguise I wear"bait to lure you to invite me in. It's fun for me, meddling in the affairs of another. Good or bad, it all depends on my mood" and who I'm with. Oh, indeed, I am always"but I am not the only one.
