Serena's Pain
As Serena watched Kosta's altercation with Lucien her mind drifted back to the night six months ago when she and Kosta were ripped apart.
After lovemaking, a beautiful young woman with long ebony hair rested against her older lover's shoulder in their apartment bed. The man was aged in his late fifties with short crew-cut brown hair and piercing blue eyes. His body was lithe with a smooth chest and his face was distinguished. The girl, Serena moved position against him, and the man, whose name was Kosta, turned his head to gaze down into her wide violet eyes, taking in every detail of her porcelain face, and her small exquisite lips. Serena turned on her stomach and pressed herself against him. They gazed lovingly into each others eyes and Kosta took her face into his hands. Serena arched her back in ecstasy as his arousal grew and taking her into his arms Kosta made love again to her again – slowly, ardently. Nothing needed to be said.
Half an hour later they heard far away screams. Serena fearfully squeezed Kosta's arm, and both of them listened alert. Kosta moved position to retrieve a sword, laying his side of the massive double bed.
"Kosta", whispered the girl afraid.
"Sssh, little one", he placed two fingers on her lips to calm her. Rising from the bed, the man crept across the bedroom, sword drawn – when the intruders attacked.
Several men, burst into the bedroom and overwhelmed Kosta, and Serena screamed as they rushed forward and seized her. Screaming in high terror, she was helpless as the intruders dragged her naked across the room and outside. Those creatures were laughing and leering at her naked body. Kosta for his part was able to subdue his assailants and despatch them – saving Serena was the only thing on his mind. It took ages for him to fight and defeat them and by the time he reached the street – it was deserted with no sign of Serena.
Serena's suffering increased tenfold. She was violated, brutally, degraded nearly every moment she was captive to the Wolves. Her captivity was in months, but to her it felt like years until the liberation by the Cornvinus Clan – where she met Coloman.
Kosta's life was forever changed that night. He screamed in grief and desolation – a pitiful sight of a naked man on his knees crying for his beloved. He felt hands on his shoulder, then a mouth closed on his neck – then the bite – after that the change. He never forgot the hunger, the bloodlust, adapting to it, allowing it to take over him completely. With this new gift of immortality he vowed to seek revenge and the loss of daylight didn't bother him in the slightest.
Now, in the heart of the Cornvinus Clan, Kosta and Serena were near each other. So close, but so far away. Serena decided to pursue Kosta then and there. Leaving her post, she hurried down the steps to the quarry as he was ascending.
"Kosta!", she cried
The vampire turned at his name and he saw her racing toward him – not quite believing it could be Serena alive.
