Prologue
Dimitri
I could remember everything so clearly...everything I did to those people. Innocents. They were innocent, barely into life. I could remember one blue-eyed dhampir boy particularly well.
"You won't get away with this!"
"I think I will."
"No! Please don't hurt him!"
That last sentence, yelled by his brunette friend. Girlfriend, probably. It didn't matter. I had killed an innocent boy who was probably no older than fifteen and I had made that girl watch. I could hear her sobs even after I was probably a hundred miles away. I could still hear them in my mind. Ever since I was turned back, my heart and prayers went out to that girl. She didn't deserve that.
When was I changed back? It seemed like the event happened so long ago, yet I could remember it like it had happened yesterday. Had it? I didn't think so. I was twenty-four now, barely. I was twenty-two when I was turned back, twenty when I was turned. That girl must be seventeen or eighteen by now. Does she remember that like I do? Probably better.
Lissa was the one who turned me back, short for Vasilisa. She was the last Dragomir princess, but not if I could help it. I owed my life to her, a debt that could never be repaid. I was going to protect her so she could have the heirs the Dragomirs needed.
The princess was a strong girl. She had to be. She was only fifteen when she turned me back, with a little help from her older guardian. She told me she did it by charming a silver stake with spirit, something she'd wanted to try ever since she heard it in a story. I was shocked but I didn't quesiton it. I was eternally grateful.
I thought that was the only thing I could be; grateful, along with guilty and depressed. Never again would I feel happy, or excited, or love. Never again. That's what I thought, at least.
Then I saw her.
Hiya! Prologue to my first story EVER! Are you guys as excited as me? Probably not...sooooooo R&R PEEPZ! I need to know if this is good enough to continue :D
