Dhampir ~ A dhampir is a being that is half-vampire and half-human, born from a vampire father and a human mother. In some beliefs, the vampire father is the deceased husband of the widowed mother. Dhampirs, in comparison with normal human beings, are unusually adept at killing vampires. The word "dhampir" is associated with folklore of the Roma people of the Balkans
Hi. I’m Cheyenne Draiman. Yes, the only child of famous musician Xander Draiman, well the only one known of that is. My life story is a little screwed up. I remember when I was little my mother rocking me on her lap in a rocking chair and telling me how wonderful my father was and how much she loved him. I remember her holding a picture and I would trace over the outline of his face with my finger, instilling his image into my mind. She told me how much I looked like him and that made her happy, because I was a living memory of their love.
See, my dad never knew about me, momma was going to tell him on their wedding night. They were at the manor waiting for uncle Murph to get there, he was late as always, momma always laughed about how uncle Murph would be late for his own funeral, but anyway, Dad got a call and kissed momma and said he’d be back as soon as he could, that it was urgent that he left. He never came back. She later found out he was killed by one of Bj and Ellie Renee’s uncles.
But this is where it got weird, after a while momma stopped mentioning him, I don’t know what happened but all of his pictures were taken down at home too. Its like she suddenly decided to forget him. I later started seeing visions of him in dreams and always white rose petals were left behind. I would wake up and there would be the scent of roses in my room and somewhere I would find white rose petals. After a while the dreams began turning to nightmares and it seemed like dad wanted to hurt me. The roses had even stopped. But when momma happened to see him too she knew something was wrong. That was no longer daddy coming to see me. The next day she went to see my uncle Bastian. Bj and Ellie Renee’s father knowing if anyone could help that him and uncle Damian could.. So I went to the manor after it was arranged. I felt like a prisoner, I couldn’t leave without being scared that the dreams would start again. I don’t get them there because Uncle Damian put a spell up on the manor.
Moving on to the rest of my family. I have a little brother named Elias. See, momma loved to dance, lived for it actually, and she had this kooky dance partner named E. He made me laugh and was always able to cheer up a room just by walking in, one night in London him and momma went out dancing and nine months later I had a brother. Oh well, I’m old enough to know what happened between momma and E that night though they claimed not to remember. I love my baby brother, but I didn’t spend alot of time with him while he was growing up, I was too busy chillin with Bj and Ellie Renee. But I plan on changing that. I want to know my brother, after all, we have something else in common, both our fathers are dead. I don’t understand exactly what happened to E, but something about a prophecy and a curse, maybe someday the pieces of that will fall into place too.
Aunts, and uncles, I have so many its hard to keep track, but Theres Auntie Faithy who isn't blood but she was momma's mentor and teacher. A slayer like momma is and a good friend. Aunt Ells is Bj and Ellie Renee’s mom, oh and Esme’s too, she is my cousin and my brothers sister, yeah, I know complicated, but E was her father too. He also had a set of twins with my aunt Abby Evan and Elena.ok, uncles, theres Bulls, and Murph who are my uncles because they are mommas best friends, uncle Murph is supposed to help teach me how to use my powers and magic but again with uncle Murph is always late. And then of course Uncle Bastian and Uncle Damian. Again not blood but they were daddy’s best friends and are more like brothers to momma.
Now with everything that has happened throughout my life and all the secrets people have kept from me, I feel alone even though I am surrounded by alot of people who love me. I had a happy childhood but lately it seems everyone is fighting among themselves and noone really has time for me. So like Elias did, I am venturing off. I’m not ready to settle down anywhere but I also need to find myself. Figure out who I am and what I can do. Now you know the basics of a screwed up young woman, I’m sorry for having talked your ear off. But maybe you can help me figure out who I am.
I am what is called a Dhampir, I have all the strengths of a vampire, but none of the weaknesses, and with momma being a slayer, I inherited that as well. Fate says I need to kill my fathers kind, my kind, but I say different, I say momma taught me well enough to know that I am only going to do what I feel is best for me, and for now, thats travel, meet others and get to know who I am.
