Are you anyway tempted by immortality?

I wasn't.

No? There are a lot of people who would be. May I ask why you weren't.

It was decided for me that I be immortal.

For you, now what would someone let someone else decide such a very important thing?

He wanted me to stay young with him. He choose the same fate for Laddie as well.

He? So someone else chose your fate?

Yes, his name is David.

That's not exactly nice of him is it.

I'm not exactly sure what it is, but being immortal has definitely been a chore to accept.

His intentions were...*thinks*..legitimate for himself, I suppose. He needs me like I do him.

You need someone who forces such things upon you?

It's really complicated.

David..*struggles with telling the stranger* I've been bitten.

Bitten?

Um..

Bitten by a vampire.

By a what?

Not anymore.

But you once had? Why?

Someone I love dearly is immortal. When we began I wanted nothing more than to spend eternity with him, though there was no way. Now I'm glad I'm not stuck in that hell.

It's a very lonely life, watching everyone around you live and die.

Apparently they'll all be watching me and die, and very likely none of them will die.

I'm sorry.

No.

Not one bit?

When you don't get a choice in it, it's not tempting.

You're already immortal?

Pretty much.

Often enough.

Woud you cut out someone's heart to achieve it?

Never. ...Would anyone?

Well, believe it or not but there are actually those who would.

...Really? *sounds a bit appalled*

I just said that there were didn't I?

It is one of my goals.

And would you cut out someone's heart to achieve this goal?

One particular person, no. Anyone else? Why not?

*backs up just a little*

Just like that you could cut out someone's heart?

He smirked a bit and shrugged his shoulders.

I have no problem killing to get what I want.

Well stay away from me!

I'd give anything to be free of it.
