"How do you do." He placed a kiss upon my hand. I tingled, smiling slightly.
"Sto facendo meravigliosamente ora." I replied.
"English please, Samantha." He laughed.
"Of course." I giggled pulling my hand away. My long blond hair was pulled into an updo. I placed my hands upon it, fixing it as a few curls fell down.
"Allow me , Miss Samantha." My maid Amber offered reaching for my hair.
"Nessun senso contadino." I hissed. She pulled her hands down quickly.
"Yes, Miss." She hid her face and began to fix her own hair.
"Samantha, there is something I've been wanting to ask you, ever since I laid eyes on you I knew you were the one for me." Andrew sat upon one knee and began to pull a small box from his pocket.
"Andrew, stop. I cannot marry you, I am dearly sorry." I said quickly. "Amber, prendermi la chiave per la cabina Stevens."
"Yes, Miss." Amber scurried off.
"Samantha, please just think about it, okay?" Andrews face was eager and a single tear slid down his cheek.
I opened my mouth to speak but my attention was snapped to Steven, he galloped towards us on his black horse. "Natatlie, please please wake up. Natalie!"
"Huh?" I murmered. A large shove made me fall to me knees, I then realized my silk dress was in tatters and that I was in mud. I looked up but only saw stars. The world collapsed upon me and then I opened my eyes.
"Sono Samantha, sono Samantha, sono Samantha, sono Samantha."My eyes flew open and I sat up straight.
"Natalie! You're okay!" Steven pulled me into a hug. "We found a body in the woods, and you were knocked out next to it."
My lips curved into a smile. Perfect. I have them right where I want them. "Who's Natalie?"
*****The Brothers of Love******
I sat upright, and rubbed my head. "Ouch." I moaned. I stood up drowsily. Except, I couldn't stand up, I was chained to a tree, no not a tree a body. A familiar body. A familiar face. A familiar....Andrew.
"Andrew." I shook him roughly. He was still, to still. "Andrew!" I screamed.
"Nat-" He began. Then his eyes landed on me. He hissed, showing me the horrible animal face that I had seen on Steven. "Samantha." He pounced on me pinning me to the ground.
"N-no!" I screamed, trying with all my strength to throw him off. "I'm Natalie! Please! Andrew, please!" His face softened for a second and then it was back to the animal face.
"Prove it." He growled. His eyes were now a blood red.
"Bite me." I simply said. "I know your secret. Bite me."
Without hesitation, he plunged his fangs into my neck. I screamed, this bite, like Samantha's hurt terribly, while Stevens was gentle. "Stop! Stop please!" I screamed. He didn't stop. "Andrew!" My voice croaked and I was beginning to feel light headed. "Andrew." Tears slid down my cheeks.
He lifted slowly. "Oh my God, Natalie." He pulled me into a hug. I flinched. "Sorry to tight?" He pulled off and looked at me. His green eyes widened. "Oh no. I drank to much." He put his forearm to his mouth and bite down. Blood spilled out. "Drink this, I know it's nasty to you now but if you die, then you'll come back."
"Ok..." I croaked. I pulled his arm to my mouth, I bit down softly and began to suck the wound. I began to feel better instantly. "Andrew, I know who did this to us." I whispered softly.
"Samantha." He said kissing me on the head. "I know that she did this to us too. She's taking over your life, if you know what's right, you'll stay out of it and let her play her game."
"No!" I pulled away from him and leaned against a tree. I pulled at the chains on my wrist, slowly it slid over my hand. I did the same with the other. "Yes! I'm out!"
"B-but how?" Andrew stuttered. I ran towards the light at the end of the woods. "Wait!"
"I'll come back with blood, don't worry." I called over my shoulder as I plunged through the open hole.

Dear Diary,
Well, I've been keeping a diary for over five hundred years, and I've told you of all my games, but this one has to be the best. I am pretending to be Natalie, then every night I'll go back to the woods and torture her severely. I'm so proud of myself. Arn't you? I will visit an old "friend" tomorrow.I mean she is the one who taught me all my tricks, she is the one who changed me. But she has no idea I'm back. It will be such fun to see her surprised face. Oh yes, we will be together, and then have a little snack. Hmmm, I'm deciding if I should tell you her name or not yet.... how about a hint??
L'ambra e vampiro. Does that help?
XOXO
Samantha.
