• It was dark, the darkest night I had ever seen in so long. The wind whistled in my ears, making my hair blow in the slight chill of the night. I slid my hand across the wooden cross staked infront of the village doors. Hell knows why I chose to come here long ago, but everything happens for a reason. The carved words Thou Evil Shall Perish on the cross had the same texture as the last time I had touched it.
    It sucks that the evil they speak of is myself. My people.
    The leaves rustled, so I pulled my hood of my jacket up. My kind didn't walk around with the large oversized black cloaks once upon a time. Morons. Mortals were total idiocies.
    You used to be a mortal. The voice ran through my head.
    Of course. But that was a long time ago. I've found happiness - if happiness means being trapped on earth like hell for all eternity.
    No, I've found a best friend. One who will be with me as long as possible.
    If only life was that simple.
    I took a slow, yet frantic look around as I walked back into the village I called 'home'.
    Instead of the leaves this time, it was quiet footsteps. I had excellent hearing, so I could tell they were following something, and was quite eager at that. I sped up. If anyone saw me without Scealant, I was doomed.
    Of course if they saw me, I could just take them out. But I built a good reputation here, and I'd hate to see it ruined.
    The feet behind me sped up.
    I felt like a little girl running from a stalker, and I knew that this would take me to a trapped end.
    Yes, I could see into the future. But they didn't take up my body, like the other seers. I was able to focus on the vision and keep on walking.
    While I'm at it, I'll walk into the trap. I'll get my answers, and then kill the guy.
    So I walked onwards to the trap I knew was coming, pretending I was frightened. I sped up some more, untill I could hear the sewers under my feet, deep below the ground. I knew I was almost there now. Just a few more feet...
    "Stop."
    I froze in my tracks before turning around. I gave the hidden figure a glare.
    "Who the hell are you?" I spat out through my teeth. He was lucky I didn't jump up and smack him upside the head and then crack his skull.
    "Please don't walk away." The male voice pleaded. Yes, my 'stalker' was a male. Sounded quite adorable, too. Focus! I told myself.
    "Well then show your face." If he was a mortal, there was no way I was sticking around. In this case, he probably was.
    He looked around, his cloaked head moving from side to side. "There is no light."
    I rolled my eyes. Figuring that if he was mortal, I'd just kill him after doing this.
    "Follow me." I sighed, walking towards an alleyway. The light footsteps followed me from close, and I double checked to see if anyone was around before I went to join him at the back of the alley.
    I twisted my finger around in a circle, and a little ball of fire was on my finger. I smiled, then turned my dark eyes to this stranger.
    Yeah, it was a vampire alright.
    Oh my god, but was he spicy!
    He had taken his hood off, and looked at me with dark black eyes. They shone as he watched me. He had a perfect face and perfect double curve lips, which were turned up into a smile. His mark - the thing that prooved if you were a vampire, the reason we wear Scealant - was one that twirled around his eyes. His skin was fair - and not the white skin color everyone thinks vampires should have. Ugh, get a life people. Vamps are nothing like what you think - we don't have fangs, either. He had brownish black hair that was messy, falling just slightly into his eyes.
    "Your name?" I asked.
    "It's David. I have heard of your powers greatly in the vampire world. You need to come with me there, we need your help, Fayne."
    "We? Who is we? How do you know my name?"
    "We, as in the entire vampire populace. You are Fayne, the one of whom people know greatly of."
    "Prove it."
    "You left the village two years after being changed. You are the first vamp in history to have come fresh to the village with a full grown mark. It has been extending from your eyes to your face - you have a sun and moon colliding mark on your forehead, further proof of your uniqueness - and down your back and arms and legs in a spiral web." He paused. "That good enough?"
    I looked at him, wide eyes. "Yeah." I spoke a little breathless. They knew alot about me. "But where do you come in?"
    "I shall speak of that on the way. I'll tell you what my purpose is here, and why I have come. But we must leave."
    "Fine." I wasn't sure I trusted him, but he seemed familiar.
    I started to walked towards the exit of my home, with him at my heels. I was really confused right now, but then again, it's been a long two hundred years. "Anything else you know about me, while I'm at it?"
    "Yes. You control all elements, and have been greatly gifted by the godess. You are an empath, as well as a seer."
    "What's your gift?"
    He smiled beside me. I could see it from the corner of my eyes. "I battle. Which is why I am the major of the Halberd Sons, the group of tough guy guards."
    "Awesome." I paused. "Now, why are you here?" I wasn't complaining. I had not seen a male vamp in a long time. But i knew I would have to send my best friend a message or something. I whistled a low sound, and perched my arm for the little dragonet to land on it. I had gotten her for fifty Rubees. Everything was cheap in my world. I named her FireBurst, because she burst into flames and set things on fire when she got pissed.
    We passed a bunch of tree's. "I was sent to get you. The force we are facing is like nothing we have ever seen. It's called DarkLight. No matter what we do, it grows and grows. It has been foretold that it will destroy the vampire populace - a mortal mage has casted this vortex. In a matter of weeks, we will be history." He stopped walking.
    I stopped too. "What is it?"
    "Something I am quite curious about. I cannot see your forehead now because of your hood, but may I see the mark people say is better than the world combined?" He asked politely. Oh boy, he was so damn fiiiiine. Focus girl, stop it. Boy I hated it when things like this distracted me.
    "Alright." I hesitantly lifted my hood off my head.
    As soon as I did, I felt it burn. Not an unpleasant burn, but a burn that felt good. The sun and moon on my skin was prominent on my dark skin, with their being super pale blue and yellow, and my skin being a coffee color. I smiled, knowing that you could see the red marks going around my dark green eyes, down my neck and down my back and arms, because of the short sleeve shirt I wore.
    "Lovely." He smiled, then his eyes shone as bright as the moon above as he turned to look around. "We need to stop for the night. Soon the sun will rise, and it can be quite bright."
    No, we did not burn up in the sun - we are not soulless, jeez - it only hurt our eyes, for the brightness was too much to bare. So we slept during th day.
    "Okay." The more I was with him, the more he reminded me of something. From a long time ago.
    We walked to a small patch of tree's off the path, the sky begining to brighten up. At the tree's I found one with quite alot of shade, and sat down on it's base. I had never traveled much, except for the five days it took me to walk here from the vampire world. He took a tree with quite some shade as well, and sat down on the grass.
    I sat down on the grass under my tree, closing my eyes. "Have I seen you before?"
    His answer was immediate and suprising. "Clearly, you have."
