I would not go back to what, and where, I was for anything. I have found (since being given the choice, and accepting it, of turning) a love so powerful, so passionate, it makes me want to be better. Not better good vs evil, just BETTER. And in the wake of that love(with Lisa) came a Sister(Liski), and a family(the Wolfe's), and a clan(Ferrymen) that all share with me more than I had ever known as a lonely struggling human!
So no, I am much improved by this existance.
Besides ;P the fringe benefits of being an ageless powerfull being with abilities I am only just fully discovering is pretty frackin cool too!

I miss my mother. I do wish she would stop by more often.
Beyond that, I thought about my mortal life for a fleeting instance after I was turned, then it became kill or be killed.

Um... Yeah, not having to put up with being ground to dust between the gravitational density of everyone's collosal egos!
Not to say that getting undeadefied didn't work wonders for my health; but enduring the blunt instruments that are the cities social order and political platforms just to get a fucking clue makes me want to embrace the dawn sometimes.

I was turned at a very young age, Around twelve and a half, and I never really had a connection with my mortal family. My biological family was god knows where, and my adoptive family worried more about money than me.. so, it wasn't that difficult letting go. I was abroad from my home, anyway, when I was turned. The only thing that I really had a problem letting go of was my best friend.. but I happened upon him once again in this city, and coincidently, he found a similar fate to me.
So, sometimes I look back on my human life, but I don't miss it. Being turned was just another rung in the ladder of my life, really, and my human past just kinda melds together with everything else.

Really? Please explain. Why would you want to be human again?

Maybe he's sick of trippin' over shit in the dark. I know I am. *Makes a note to ask Julian about installing lights in the hallway.*

You don't have enhanced vision allowing you to see in the dark? I know mine isn't as good as some others, but I've heard that most could catch a fly in the dark.

Catch it? I could throw a needle at one and hit it's compound eyes at twenty paces in one sixth the light it takes a human to even be able to see. In any case, thoughts of previous lives are all to common, even among beings of endless life who have changed as much as we. Vampires are the perfect predator, able to blend into a group and use that stealth, but also strong enough and fast enough to do whatever need be done. Sure, there are a few who have issues, but those issues are no greater nor lesser than those of humans. I think it's often forgotten by many that Vampires are not but an evolution from a previous state. You've evolved beyond the need of some things, and beyond having others, and some remain. Memories, emotions, these are things that remain for all even if they say they don't have them. Everyone has memories, however faded they may be. Usually, the ones who don't remember everything are the ones who didn't enjoy their life or had a good reason to repress it. Perhaps the question isn't, who remembers or who dwells, but who won't claim their own thoughts and admit to doing so themselves? How many in this city don't say things like, "I remember when I was a human" or, "When I was human", or some other similar speech to others? A very few, hell most of the ones who don't are the ones who repressed the memories for their own sake.
Just a thought on the matter.

Repressed. Sounds like a twin of mine. Though truth be told she's not really forgotten, she just never thinks about them for the most part. I know I don't. Didn't have a mother, nor a father, grew up and a god forsaken castle with Lea. Don't really care to remember because there's nothing there to think back on personally.

I'm not asking to be turned back, I was just wondering if anyone else had these same thoughts? I know hundreds of years can change someones thoughts. Although some of my dreams are fading I still am tormented by my child.
As a human I bore a child, she is off to college now safe hidden away from the bloodshed of my newfound life. So for this I am greatful and sad also.
I do love my new life the rush of the hunt, the kill and the blood. The Ferrymen have been kind to me and helpful in my learning more about the city. I have been told that I am unique but I feel I am still a child questioning everything and giving my clan a portion of hell with my questions. I have also noticed that The longer I am a Pire the shorter my temper gets. Part of growing? I'm not sure.

I would trade this existance for nothing. I begged to be turned, and Becoming was all too easy for me. I've been in this city for 2 years now, and I've not regretted a single moment of it.
My human life was... unpleasant. Memories of it haunt me to this day. They fill my nightmares more often than I would like, but the memories are slowly fading as I sink into what I am now more thoroughly.
I understand that some pyres have issues with hunting humans for food, but I find no problem with it. Humans are as abundant as they are destructive. Ridding this world of a few here and there is doing everyone a favor. Even when I was a human myself, I had no problem committing "murder."
I fit into this new unlife much too well for me to want to change it.

Eric, as a "cousin " of sorts to myself I would be happy to talk with you more on this subject and others if things are bothering you. Lisa says I have a good ear for listening. Contact me personally or catch me in the Ferry halls and we'll talk about this over a pint. Blood or ale, makes no difference to me.

Being turned was the best thing that ever happened for me. For one, it gave me an excuse to kill my cur of a father (and his wife) and for another, it gave me a new start that I desperately needed. Even when I'm terribly bored of unlife and wish there was more out there, I don't wish for my vampirism to be removed. I love it, and it's given me time to grow as a person like I never would have done without the added centuries. Plus, now I won't die as a spinster, old and alone, which is never a bad thing. The only things I actually think about from my human life are swiftly followed by the memory of killing those involved, or those involved dying of other causes, so I try to avoid it at all times. Long story cut short, if I hadn't been turned I'd have died a lonely milkmaid, and that just isn't good enough for me.

Darkone, I r'member m'life as a human. It was truly a good life. Though m' father would've burned me witch ass at t' stake along wit' m'mums, he was still a good man. M'mum was a tender hearted woman who showed 'er love fer m'siblings an' m'self regularly.
I dun r'gret me human life, I embrace it. I dun wish t' go back, fer I was destined tis unlife.
I dun 'ave nightmares, I do 'ave dreams.
