My father and mother were the ones who turned us into vampires, and our father became one as well. Despite being the one to force us into becoming monsters in the first place he spent the better part of a millennium trying to hunt us down and kill us. My father was many things, but he was not kind or forgiving. We rarely knew a moment's peace, thanks to him.
