Chapter 1
"Run"
"Run!" she screamed. "Run!" she screamed again. So I ran, ran for my life. I dared to look back. Chased by creatures so I ran faster. 'Faster! Faster!' my mind screamed as my overworked heart nearly exploded from my chest. I could hear them behind me screaming. "Ah! Help me! No!" among their tortured screams was a cackle like no other. "Run child! It makes it FUN!" The voice was deep and quite frightening. I tripped suddenly and couldn't fund the strength to pick myself up. I all but cried, knowing my life was over. Words I wanted to say cluttered my mind. "Look away" she whispered "Don't look into her eyes!" she whispered again "Child, it's time to wake up to a new world…" That's when it happened, I became something that I was terrified to become. A creature of the darkness, a beast, a horrid…. I couldn't think about it anymore, thoroughly disgusted at myself once again. "Child, why do you hate what you are so much?" I ignored her whenever she called me that. I knew that she only did it to annoy me, and it was working. "Azure Knightingale, answer her" a male voice sounded. "Sir, I hate what I am because I cannot stand to drink the blood of humans, I would much rather drink from an animal than a human." I answered him directly knowing I would still be in trouble. He scares me though, so I quickly looked away from both of them. "Aubrey, why does she only answer to you? What does she fear in you that makes her answer to you?" the female asked quite annoyed. "Fear is a worthless emotion, an emotion not worth having. I have no desire to be afraid of anyone nor anything. To say that I fear him is absurd. I fear nothing. Yet at the same time, I fear everything. Such a worthless emotion…." I mumbled those last words somewhat quietly as I finished spouting off to them. Aubrey got down on one knee and turned my face to look directly at his. "You… are going to come with me for a moment." And just like that we were at his personal adobe. "Come, I want to ask you something privately Azure." I followed quietly, running to catch up with him.
