Eternal

Remembering Sunday

“She was so beautiful, so graceful, an angel wearing a cloak made of Hell.” He started. He looked up and gestured for the others to come near. Everyone moved forward, giving a respectful but close distance. I watched the ginger as he reminisced.

“Her name was Jasey Rae. She was twenty in human years. From that first moment I saw her in the village, I knew we were supposed to meet somehow. Beautiful, beautiful Jasey Rae. She was a gem…” He wandered off before catching himself.

“For weeks on end, I would watch her routine. She worked tirelessly for her mother’s alchemy shop and loved her job. But what she admired the most was the beautiful falcons that flew high over the village, so free and wild. I saw in her eyes, she loved to be so wild like that. Her brown hair always shone brighter, her green eyes glowed, whenever she was out in the forest. She loved that place. There was a meadow she would lay in and watch the clouds. I followed her one day and revealed myself. She was never afraid, just curious. She never asked questions, my Jasey, but that day, she only said one thing.

“’Have you seen that falcon that soars over the village? She’s a beauty, I tell you. She’s gorgeous.’ She told me. I smiled and sat down next to her. From the moment she saw me, Jasey knew what I was but never ran away. We talked for hours and always met in the same spot every day. I was so eager to please her, to make her happy and to make her smile. One day, I got brought out some dead rabbits from the castle and took them to the forest. Jasey Rae just looked at me like I was insane.

“That day we tamed that falcon, the one she loved. But I gues it was never…tamed...rather, it bonded with Jasey Rae, for how could you tame such a hunter? The look on her face when that falcon stood on her arm and let Jasey touch it’s magnificent wings….it was priceless.” Alan started to tear up a little. He sniffled and wiped the drops away with the back of his hand.

“Eventually I confronted her with the whole truth about the castle. She said she wanted to be with me. Jasey Rae said she would take the risk and wanted to stay with me. Young love, so foolish to take risks. When humans are turned, only some survive to become vampires. Many bodies fail during the process. No, she was determined to be with me. The risk paid off and Jasey Rae was going to be mine forever.

“She was the most beautiful vampire you’d ever lay eyes on. Her already fair skin turned even paler. Her eyes shone brighter, her hair glowed vibrantly, and she was finally able to keep speed with me when we’d go through the forest. I took her to the castle to join the Vulcan clan and she brought with her the falcon which she named Faster-Than-Winds. I don’t know, but she always had an affinity for sayings as names. She told me that when she was little, she had a dog named Eyes-Like-Moons because the dog’s eyes were silver.

“Well, everyone loved Jasey Rae and Faster. Faster teased the night hounds, but was truly the fastest animal we had here and escaped their jaws. Jasey loved it here. She played chess with Ghost, she wrote poems for Balz, and even made Austin smile, which seemed impossible at the time. Jasey was my girl, though, no matter how much the others admired her.

“She was only a vampire for a year when the Witchers came. Faster-Than-Winds was sitting on the balcony with old Li’ol’po and Jasey. I was in the library and Jasey was with Faster. It was so unexpected, what happened. There were so many of them! They came for her. Jasey Rae barely made it to the library before a Witcher pinned her to a wall with a spear. Jasey was still gasping and begging me to save her but I couldn’t! I just couldn’t! The Witchers had me cornered and I was fighting my way to her. But I was too late.

“They say that by tearing apart a vampire, you will kill it, but that’s not true. You don’t need to yank us limb by limb to destroy our life. It can take one well aimed spear. That’s what killed my Jasey Rae, a spear through the chest. Once I killed my attackers and ripped the head off of her attacker, I pulled it out of her and held her limp body in my arms as she died. Faster was crying over head. It was the saddest sound I had ever heard from that avian beast. The falcon tore at the Witcher’s faces, as if she was trying to seek vengeance for her fallen comrade.” Alan stated bitterly. I touched his knee sadly. We both stared at the floor in silence.

“Faster-Than-Winds used to rub her head against Jasey Rae’s little hands, begging to be stroked. That day, Faster rubbed her head against Jasey’s shoulder, took flight, and soared out the open door. The battle was over once Faster took flight. I never saw that falcon again. But this was about seventy years ago, only a couple of years when I was turned. These decades have given me time to realize this: When Faster-Than-Winds left, she was just carrying Jasey Rae’s soul up and away with her.

“She always wanted to be like the falcons, so wild and free, so beautiful and graceful. I swear to you now, she’s soaring in the skies right now.” Alan let out a small sigh, a tiny tear escaping with it.

The story of Jasey Rae was beautiful and tragic, like a silent view into someone else's world. For the next few minutes, we all stayed silent and absorbed the words of the falcon, the girl, and the man who lost them both.

Notes

Anyone recognize the name Jasey Rae? Hmm..... ;)
