Hello From Rhi...

Hello. My name is Rhi Connolly. I lived during the mid to late 1800s in the immigrant slum filled Five Points area of NYC. My maker, Gavin found me left for dead after a huge gang fight. Yeah, I'm a woman, so what! I got more balls than most men and with the way I am with the ladies, they wish they could bottle my shit and sell it!

Gavin saved me from the miserable life of a struggling Irish immigrant and made me a vampire. I am loyal to him and love him dearly. I never loved anyone like I loved him. He was my maker, my creator, he showed me a new life. But my whole purpose for living is to protect "Honor" human, Samantha Reese. I made a promise to her great grandmother, Marlena Reese, that I would protect her and watch over her. For she would be the only remaining family member left of the Reese clan. Her crazy and unstable sister, Jean, shot and killed her family. But before she could kill my Sam, I jumped out and ripped her neck off! From that moment on, Sam was my responsibility. I promised Marlena I would never let anything happen to her. Though I am in love with her, I can never have her. She is a mortal. This cold heart was meant to be on her own anyway, and I am cool with that. I have been on my own without a companion for over 200 years, what's another 200?

Gavin would like me to find a companion, but I would rather play the streets of New York City. One thing I love about New York, is that you never run out of places to eat....in my case, people. I am not a bad vampire, I just need to feed. If you are in my way, it is your bad luck, and my meal ticket! My favorite past times are clubbing with my vampire clan and feeding on beautiful women. After a night of play, I stop by Samantha's fire escape and check in on her. I give her great material to write about in her column for the Village News. She calls it 'fiction'. I call it fuckin' hilarious! Now, readers, I will tell you this, I have a heart, I just protect it. I have a front, a huge ego, an arrogant way about myself. It is merely my protection device. Those close to me, know I would do anything for them and deep down inside, I am a softy. you can ask my side kick buddy, Esjae, she knows me better than anyone...we have this connection...and she is one the few female vampires I have not slept with. As for how we have sex, I will chat about that at a later time. 

Okay, anyway, in these streets, you must be strong, you must be brave. Being a tough girl in this vampire world is not easy. Loving women, is not easy. For me, it is easier to flirt with them, have my way with them, and then feed on them. I save my heart for Samantha. In 1895, Marlena told me to be careful; that if I don't watch myself, I could lose my life over her. I wouldn't lose my life over anyone but her. Samantha is worth dying for. Oops, I better stop with the honorable chivalry.  I also better stop typing, don't want to give away all my secrets at once. After all, us vampires need to be somewhat mysterious. Isn't that how you see us? But just for the record, we don't sparkle and we don't dare go out at all in the sunlight! And if you think I am going to feed on deer and elk, you have another thing comin' baby! I don't feed on animals! Besides, Samantha would never talk to me again. She is such an animal lover, that she even asks me to read minds of animal abusers and asks me to feed on them!! And of course, I obey. I would do anything for her. Okay, enough of that, I am starting to sound like a pussy!

I better get going. Gotta meet Gavin and Esjae at the club and do some feeding. To you ladies out there, maybe I will see you out clubbing sometime. I will be watching you from a dark corner, with my untouched beer glass.

Until we chat again, loves, your devoted egomaniac vampire, Rhi  xxxxxxx

An Introduction...

Hi. My name is Samantha Reese. I talk to Monsters. Yes, I know it sounds a bit weird. No I am not schizophrenic either. See, I lost my family in a horrible tragedy at a young age, which I will chat about at another time. I sure don't like talking about it much. But you see, my family now, is, well, not exactly human. I have the ability to see the underworld, to see other dimensions and see the truth of what people really fear.

You fear what is under the bed? Well, when you look under the bed, you see nothing. When I check under your bed for you, I see the Shadow People hiding under there.

You fear the eerie mist in Central Park at night, but I know the real reason why. I see the Mysters, floating by. That is where you get your chills from, when they glide by.

I see the Deaders, (they are like zombies, but if you ever run into one, never call them that!!), the vampires, the ghosts, the werewolves, should I keep going? You get the picture don't you?

In my daily blogs, I will share with you what I know. I may be a misfit kinda girl, but in their world, I fit right in.

I gotta go get some organic coffee right now, but stay tuned, maybe I will introduce you to some of my dark friends. If I could only get them to type!!

Hugs, Sammie Reese
