During the 1300's a plauge spread across Europe, causing millions of deaths and suffering. Many say that the cause was just a overactive case of the pox.. but there was some stipulation that it was caused by les vampire's. Of course, it would make sence. Large races and puntures at both the bend of the arm and inner thigh.. where most vampires prefer to take their meal from. And who else to be the cause, and fountain head of this uprising, but Belle Morte. She grew tired of the same thing, molesting men and damning young boys for eternity. She wanted fun, and she wanted company. What other explanation would there be for so many vampires to have been sired in the 1300's? She had the most fun of her life during that time. She had  no concience to cloud her mind. She had nothing to worry about and had created the largest empire in history. That was back in a time where the dark children werent afraid of being noticed, they lived their life out in the open freely. Untill a group of ravaging nobelmen decided to take action, and started killing the creatures. There is nothing worse than finding one of your best friends pinned to a wall with a wodden stick through their chest. Of course, this upset Belle quite a bit. So she picked up her flock of frightened youngsters, and moved them across the sea. She spread them out, so that they could start their own "families" and covens, so that in the end.. she had even more.
