Timothy nodded emotionlessly at Merle. "Indeed." He then looked at Jason, but with the lack of emotion, he seemed to be looking beyond the Hunter, to a different dimension all together. "You do not recognize one of your own?" He said flatly.

It had been the evening of August tenth, 1782, when Timothy had first encountered the vampire called Sorrow. He was ten years old, on a walk with his sister, the eighteen year old Mary. They had heard footsteps behind them, and turned to see two men, one a white, the other a native. They were watching Timothy with interest. The siblings started to increase their pace, but so did the men. "Timothy!" He heard his sister cry out as the white man took hold of her, showing great fangs. "Run!" The Church was right there, so he ran into it, scared. He heard the sound of his sister's neck being pierced by those fangs, and he dove beneath a pew, shivering with fright. He then heard one of the men speak.
"Were is the boy?" It said.
"The church." His sister's voice, empty and lifeless, replied.
The native man paced back and forth in front of the church. "We can not enter their holy place," he growled.
"We will get him soon enough," his sister replied.
"Indeed, Sorrow," The white man said to her, "Indeed." Timothy heard no more as he curled beneath the pew and cried. That night, he lost all faith in God. If there really was a God, he would have saved Mary- she was a faithful girl, righteous and caring. Twelve years later, he would sell his heart to Satan.
((This last part is just a bit of background, to let you know who Sorrow is and stuff.))
