"I then discovered a place out of my reality called the Keep, I was cataloguing my inks when I noticed a strange doorway, I opened it and stepped into the Mainhall of the Keep.
"Everyone was very friendly and made me feel right at home...I felt that this was a place I would visit regularly."
"I soon made many friends and like all places a few enemies, the masqerade was not a enforced and there were many Kindred.
"The first Kindred I met here was a Tremere named Zane, he was always kissing and loving on his wife, so all I ever said to him was Hello..or something to that effect, he seemed to be a nice and polite gentleman.
Not long after that I met Digital Justice, a mercenary who never seemed to keep his pants on,we became really good friends, he was always happy to see me and nuzzled me alot.I thought he was cute..but knew he was dating Keeshah..another friend of mine.."
"I soon met Rigormortis, I can't recall exactly how..but I pledged my services to him, so he would teach me more and help me gain power...somewhere along..I had become his slave..and not a good one either. I disobeyed him on more than one occasion and have been punished severely...I still carry a brand he placed on my forearm when I spoke against him over enslaving Keeshah. I belonged to him for quite sometime and then he died and I was bought by JadeDarkJewel..she treated me well and finally gave me to Sirrius and Alix, who adopted me into their family."
"After being a part of the Keep for over 2 months..I joined SLAM..where I met a lot of really nice people including Mandrake and Zane, Sliver and Malachi, but Mandrake and I hit it off instantly..there was definately chemistry between us..but with me losing Damon and Mandrake..not sure what he wanted..we held off on a relationship...and became close friends instead."
"Mandrake soon became my best friend, he was always there when I needed him and listened to my problems..it was he who introduced me to Zane."
Celeste walks over and pours herself another expresso "Zane..now that's an interesting fellow"
"He refuses to talk of himself...I know only that he is ancient and very powerful, and has a very unique way of speaking...and he is always excruciatingly polite...he claims to be 4th generation but I find that very hard to believe. He seems to know all kinds of rituals I have never heard of, perhaps he created some of his own..he is an accomplished swordsman among other things. When I first met him, he was married to Brittony, but after I joined SLAM..things changed, Brittony had returned to her home planet never to be seen again, or so he thought, so he began to court me and I was highly flattered, but still hurt over the loss of my love, Damon... things never went beyond the courtship phase, he brought me presents of jewelry and flowers...Soon after that Damon returned to me, and we got engaged, we planned a large wedding with all my friends, but that got to complicated so we eloped and got married...I love Damon with all my heart.
"I have left the Keep for now, but I hope to return someday, things in the Keep have changed considerably and I for one feel like I don't really belong.
After I left the Keep, things became very complicated in my city, A gentleman appeared soon after carrying a letter addressed to me, stating I was to turn control of Miami over to him and obey his every command on pain of death. I did try to do what Michael asked of me, but I then met Cassidy Byrd, this young man changed my life.
"Cass is my childe and my lover, but let me tell the whole story, I was club hopping in SouthBeach when I happened up on a goth club, this is not my type of place but I went inside anyway, and watched him, his energy and voice were amazing, I sat in the front row entranced by him, I knew right then, I wanted him."
"Cassidy came over to the table after the show, we hit it off immediately, I invited him to the beach, and talked to him," she sighs, "I can still hear those beautiful words 'You look like a goddess from the moon itself, so pale and perfect, with the moon reflecting within the depths of your eyes." I knew then that he should be Toreador, so I kissed him and allowed him to get close to me, I felt so guilty, as I was still married to Damon at the time.", she paces the room nervously, "I told him I could offer him eternal life, he laughed and foolishly agreed, I loved Cassidy at that moment, and if he had refused, I probably would have taken him anyways, being a foolish Toreador ruled by emotions."
Celeste turns her face to your, crimson tears rolling down her cheeks, "I tricked Cass into the Embrace, and I will never forgive myself for that, but he meant more to me at that point than anyone ever did."
"Where was I, oh yes Cassidy, I told him that I wanted to be with him forever, I never told him I was married, so yes I was dishonest with him, but don't condemn me for being in love, and yes I fell madly and deeply in love with Cassidy, I needed him with me, and then I had to do something I will regret forever."
"I blood bound Cass to me, the pain I caused myself at this action, but it wasn't all my fault, I was being blood bound to the new prince, and he demanded me to blood bond my childe, I didn't tell Cassidy what I was doing, and he didn't realize until it was too late."
"The Prince made me do things I will not repeat in this tale, but they were horrible, he denied me access to my darling husband, Poor Damon, he never understood what was happening"
She sighs unhappily "I lost Damon again, not long after that. By that time Cassidy hated me for doing what I did, and I felt alone, the new prince was continuing his perverted actions, and he started feeding on me, he always left me alive until one day, he went to far."
"I don't remember what happened to upset him, but it all began as a normal night in his office where I was ordered to act as his personal secretary, he had a full audience that night, a new Tremere named Jasmine Way, Ren, I never knew his name, and a couple of other people. Something happened that pissed off Mr. Deveraux and he took out his anger on me, he must have placed me in Torpor, because I remember being waking up with the taste of vampiric blood in my mouth, and Ren standing over me, he was more powerful than me by many generations, so when he woke me, a bond was formed between us."
"The triangle of emotions was horrible, Cass was bound to me and I was bound to Ren, but I loved Cass, being with Cass and Ren in the same room was awful, my heart and soul being pulled in two very different directions."
"But back to the story, when
