Chapter One: Prologue

Fortuna, Year 1740.

She smiled as she stirred their supper, giggling as she dipped her finger in and stole a taste.

Her name was Kyrie and she was a beautiful woman. Beautiful red hair hung in ringlets down her back and to her waist. She was wearing her favorite dress, a long white gown with gold designs, in honor of the special occasion.

"Is it safe that I come out?"

She jumped around, startled by the deep male voice.

"You scared me half to death, Nero." She scolded, wagging the spoon that was still in her hand.

Nero was an unusual boy but that did not stop her from loving him. He was pale with flawless skin. He had bright blue eyes that shown with joy from under his sliver shaggy hair. His smile was wide, fangs visible under his lips. He was dressed in a simple white shirt with a black vest and black pants but to Kyrie he looked amazing.

She sat down her spoon and crossed the room, wrapping her arms around his neck and giving him a gentle kiss. He held onto her tightly, resting his head atop hers. He began to sway with her in his arms, a silent dance that consisted of just the two.

Out of nowhere the door to their little home was busted down, Kyrie screaming as she clung onto her lover. Nero began to snarl and bare his fangs as dozens of villagers surrounded them.

"The monster is in here!"

"We must eliminate the sin!"

"The woman is involved. They both must go!"

They tore the lovers apart from one another and dragged them away from their home. They ended up in a cemetery, watching in fear as their captors dug a hole under an unmarked headstone. They chained him up, ignoring his pleas as they tossed him into a wooden coffin. He could only struggle, watching in horror as they forced Kyrie to her knees and slit her throat. Tears ran down his face as he softly called out for her in sorrow.

They shut the coffin and lowered him into the hole, laughing as they started filling the grave with dirt.

There in an unmarked grave six feet under lay the vampire named Nero.

This is just the prologue so it's short but the other chapters will be longer, I promise. Review and tell me what you think. – Yavi.
