History

     Many modern-day people have heard of the Lost Colony. 117 colonists were left on Roanoke island in July, 1587. Supplies were forced off because of the war in England. England couldn't supply any ships to leave. Two years after the defeat of the Spanish Armada, John White returned to find the colony deserted. He had returned on his grand-daughter's third birthday- August 18, 1590.
(OOC: This is where my creation comes in!)

     But what had happened to the colony remains a mystery to this day. For mortals. Ryesen Hawke was one of the 117 colonists. The ship had actually abandoned them about a week before her seventeenth birthday. Of course things had been okay at first. Everyone was happy to hear of Virginia's birth in August. She was such a beautiful baby. The next year is when it started happening. A few of the younger women disappeared. There weren't any terrible rumors of anything unrealistic. We drew weary of the Indians.

     August 14, 1588- that was when everyone knew what was going on. There was an attack in the dark of the night. These were no Indians. These people... these things looked so different. So pale. About fifteen of these creatures attacked the remaining 103 of the colonists. Ryesen is sure that about five or so survived and took protection with the indians, who had known about these creatures. The indians blamed the white for brining the terrible creatures with them. A plague (even though it was actually the vampires who were the victims- it's another story for another time).

     Ryesen Hawke watched as her friends and family were literally eaten apart by these creatures. One of the pale monsters had grown fond of Ryesen after watching her in the night. She and one of the male creatures protected Ryesen while the others were killed. They played with Ryesen and tortured her, but never seriously harmed her. Soon they were debating on who would be allowed to take her. Strange accents... Ryesen still understood their words. Somehow. At the thought of being 'taken', she feared being raped. Ridiculously, the frail eighteen-year-old tried to turn tail and run.

     No such luck. The female vampire leisurely grabbed her around the sides and bit into her neck. The next few nights was Ryesen's pain of being a new vampire. Many normal vampires knew the feeling. Your insides being ripped apart....

     Many nights later, Ryesen was brought out of her pained existance and, starving, was allowed one of the few remaining colonists. Blindly, she drank the human away. Her brother. Ryesen, however, does not know who it was. She never will. A new creature, she somehow forgave the vampires (as they said they were termed). Miss Hawke lived with them for quite a while. However, they were soon killed off in one of the many hunts that occurred in America. Ryesen was left alone. She somehow came across how to come to Horn, and attended the school before quickly becoming an archery teacher (she had loved archery as a human).
