I in no way own Vampire Hunter D.
Tears of Joy Tears of Sadness
Chapter 1: The Meeting
A young woman sat on the bank of a stream, the water gently caressed her bare feet. She knew that it being after sunset she should be safely indoors, but she was tired of being looked down on by the other villagers. It was not her fault that she was an orphan. She looked up as the first of the stars appeared in the darkening sky. She would be in a heap of trouble when she returned. She removed her bare feet from the cool water and tucked them under her unwilling to move from her special place. It was fully dark when she decided to stand. She moved with an unconscious grace, not realizing that she was being watched.
A soft rustle in the brush behind her startled her. She gasped in surprise. "Please forgive me for startling you," apologized a deep male voice. A shadow moved toward her from the trees. At that moment the full moon broke the night with its silvery light. The woman's eyes grew round in fright as she realized who was talking to her. "M. my Lord Dracula," she said and started to kneel. A strong hand gently restrained her from kneeling in the dirt. He put his hand under her chin and tilted her head up. She looked in his eyes, he has beautiful eyes, she thought to herself. She suddenly remembered with a shiver that he was a vampire. He stepped back, "I will not harm you," he said gently, "I only wish to know if things a well in the village."
"All is well." She replied proud that her voice didn't betray the fear she felt. "I.I must get home now"
"Return to your home. But meet me here in two nights at moon rise." The young woman recognized a command when she heard one. "Yes my Lord." She belatedly realized that he had already left.
She raced to the village heart pounding in her ears. She reached her spinster aunts house and pounded on the door. "Auntie Cara please let me in!" After a long moment's wait the door opened. There stood a woman aged beyond her years by bitterness. "Well come in child. Don't make me hold the door open all night. you will stay out all night to teach you a lesson. Well don't just stand there!"
"I am sorry Auntie Cara. I lost track of time please forgive me." The young woman did not feel in the least bit repentant. She quickly went to the shed and shut the door. She fell to her knees and cried, she felt so alone and afraid. Why did the vampire want her to return in two nights? Oh why did she have to lose her cross those long months ago? If only her aunt would allow her to purchase a new one! She fell asleep to turbulent thoughts. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- --------------------------------
