Vampire Marks

Human Servant Vampire Marks

The First Mark

Anita´s description of the first time of the first mark with Jean-Claude: "Jean-Claude held me around the waist, one cool hand on my forehead, holding the bones of my head in place. His voice held me, a soothing
sheet against my skin. He was speaking French, very softly. I didn't understand a word of it, and didn't need to. His voice held me, rocked me, took away some of the pain. He cradled me against his chest, and I was too weak to protest. The pain had been screaming through my head; now it was distant, a throbbing ache."

Anita's description of the first mark with Alejandro: "I stared into the darkness that was his eyes and felt myself fall, forward, impossibly forward, and down, down, into a blackness that was pure and total, and had never known light."

Jean-Claude described it as: "I shared my life-force with you." "I took your pain and gave you some of my stamina." "I have made you a little harder to hurt."

With the first mark she is now immune to Jean-Claude´s gaze, his voice,
and his mind, he can still do mind tricks but he has to work at it now. She will serve him out of willingness, nothing more. She also has almost complete immunity to other vampire's gazes.

The Second Mark

Anita's description of the first time for the second mark with Jean-Claude: "Anita." Jean-Claude's velvet voice whispered. "Anita." I fought to look up into the wind, blinking to see. There was nothing there. "Anita." The wind was calling my name. "Anita." Something glimmered, blue fire. Two points of blue flame, hung on the wind. Eyes-were those Jean-Claude's eyes? Was he dead? The blue flames began to float downward. The wind didn't touch
them. The blue flames came lower and lower, and suddenly I didn't want it to touch me, just as suddenly I knew that was what it was going to do. Something told me that that would be a very bad thing. The wind roared
and screeched down the narrow walls like a roller coaster gone mad. There was no other sound. I started to crawl up the stairs, wind beating against me, trying to crush me down. There was one other sound, Jean-Claude's voice in my head. "Forgive me." The blue lights were
suddenly in front of my face. I flattened myself against a wall, hitting at the fire. My hands passed through the burning. It wasn't there. The fire melted into my hands like they weren't there, and into my eyes. The world was blue glass, silent, nothing, blue ice."

Anita's description of the second mark with Alejandro: "A rush of air blew against my back. I turned, and there was nothing there. The air was warm
and smelled faintly of flowers. The wind touched my face, gently, warm and fragrant with a rich, green smell like freshly dug roots. "Anita" I whirled, but there was no one there. Yet....the warm wind blew against my cheek, and the smell of flowers was growing stronger. I don't know what made me look behind me, just a feeling. Two pinpoints of blackness were floating towards me in the air. If blackness could burn, then that's what it was: black flame coming for me on the warm, flower-scented breeze. I turned, and the black flames hovered over me like demonic fireflys. "Anita, accept it." The flames descended slowly. I hit at them. The flames passed through my hands like ghosts. The smell of flowers was almost chokingly sweet. The flames passed into my eyes, and for an instant I could see the world through bits of colored flame and a blackness that was a kind of light."

With the second mark comes the ability to communicate through dreams.
The vampire can also siphon energy from the human servant and taste what they can taste. The vampire´s powers are enhanced when the human servant is at their side, Jean-Claude bespelled a human without trying with Anita at his side.

The Third Mark

Anita's description of the third mark with Alejandro: "The knife just nicked the surface, sharp, painful, but such a little cut. He leaned over me. "It won't hurt, I promise." I screamed. His lips touched the cut, locked on it, sucking. He was wrong. It did hurt. Then the smell of flowers surrounded me. I was drowning in perfume. I couldn't see. The world was warm and sweet-scented." With the third mark comes more direct communication through mind contact.

The Fourth Mark

Anita's description of the fourth mark with Alejandro: "He'd cut a line of blood on his chest, just above the nipple."Drink." He pushed my face towards the wound, and I couldn't fight him. I struggled, but he kept my
mouth pressed to the wound. The blood was salty sweet, vaguely metallic. It was only blood. "Blood of my blood, flesh of my flesh, the two shall be as one. One flesh, one blood, one soul." Somewhere deep inside me, something broke. I could feel it. A wave of liquid warmth rushed up and over me. My skin danced with it. My fingertips tingled. My spine spasmed, and I jerked upright."

The fourth mark is given by having the human servant take blood from above the vampire´s heart.

The fourth mark makes the human servant live as long as the vampire does, but if one dies they will both die. The human servant can share his
master´s power and strength and hear his master´s emotions. The vampire can feel the servant´s emotions as well.
