I haven't posted and I highly doubt that anyone ever reads this but that's ok. I am going to use this as my story test site. Here it goes... oh and this is an extremely rough draft of the story...
Prologue:
Several years ago, a young couple angered the vampire nation by trying to preserve their kind. They appeared to be human but they were more powerful and much more dangerous. They came from a race of vampire protectors, born human but somehow genetically altered to be more powerful than those who had created them. Their race has trickled to the last remaining three, the couple and their only progeny. Their race was being annihilated by the vampires they were sworn to protect. In the past year, a group of killers called the rei-yort sidnam, otherwise known as man-killers, destroyed the other families. So, the couple went into hiding and forced a separation from their daughter. They returned her into the mortal realm in the care of a foster home; there she would remain undetected because she was only a few months old. It was in the early evening when they arrived at their old home to retrieve the last of their daughter’s identity and burn it. All of the family pictures, birth records and toys were burned to ashes. As evening approached, the sunlight delicately shined through the windows of the room and cascaded against the walls into the room but it was late in the day and the sunlight was a mere whisper in the room. A woman faced the corner of the dark, emptied room until the light completely exits the room through the windows and eventually disappeared under the horizon. The woman moved from the corner and walked over to the center of the room. Soon afterwards, a man enters the room and wraps his arms around her. He kisses her cheek and caresses her back. He does not speak a word to her but the couple seems to have a deep understanding. It is evident that there is a deep passionate love between the two. He grabs her hand and whispers gently in her ear, “Darling, we must leave this place now.” She looks up into his eyes as a red tear rolls down her face. She quietly replies, “I know my love. However, I will miss this place immensely. Is our child safe?” He nods his head yes and tells her that she is with a foster family awaiting adoption. She smiles and they turn towards the door. Suddenly, the door explodes open and a series of men enter the room. After the debris settles, the couple sees that they are surrounded. The man’s eyes flash a bright red color and he bares his fangs. He begins to kill as many men as he can until he hears a startling noise. The woman screams as several men hold her back. She is transformed into a wild rampaging beast without any remnants of her former peaceful self when a man cloaked in dark velvety fabrics slits her throat. She lets out a gargled scream and the man stops his killing spree. He looks at his dying wife as her blood spills over the floor like a crimson pool and rage engulfs him. He lunges at his wife’s killer and begins savagely to attack him. Suddenly, he is pulled off the man and placed in chains. The man struggles to fight as another man continues to cut his wife’s head off from the remainder of her body. When her head is completely severed, the man loses the will to fight and feels a deep sorrow spread throughout his body like a disease. Suddenly, a cascade of men beat him until he is almost dead. They dragged his lifeless body out of the room and lit the house on fire. Several days later, the man was barely alive when his eyes opened. He was on a cold, hard surface and chained to the wall. He was a prisoner in a desolate dungeon with only disease-ridden rats to accompany him. He screamed at the top of his lungs in agony when he remembered his wife’s corpse on the floor of their home. He felt immense pain throughout his body due to his severe beating and his broken spirit. The pain began to numb his entire body, when he drifted into a deep sleep. Several years later, the last of the “protectors” lived in harmony with the mortal world, unsure of the destiny she would one day have to face. She believed that she was human but she was only partly right. As a human, she lived her life in despair and somehow she knew she was meant for more. In her youth, she was considered an average person. She lived an average childhood, however, she was unhappy after her adoptive parents died in a car crash when she turned twelve and she was forced to live with her aunt, who was just as apathetic about her. As an adult, she grew to be quiet in and about her private life but at work, she was ruthless and bold because her business demanded that attitude to survive and do well. It was a few days before her twenty-eighth birthday, when her destiny began to unfold and her life changed.
