I know I should be writing my other fanfics but this story was just to tempting. Just got done rereading the Darren Shan graphic novel saga and boy, oh boy, great stuff; which inspired me to write this fanfic.

Disclamer: I don't own the Darren Shan Series just this fanfiction.

Some say Destiny and Fate were lovers, they were intertwined, both having a role in everyday life.

But….

That was not true.

Not true at all...

In fact, they loathe each other, Destiny grew to want change, to change the outcomes of events, he wanted an aberration from his boring repetitive life.

Whereas Fate wanted that repetition.

Destiny is merely a choice and Fate is the results that occur from the chosen choice.

Desmond Tiny wanted an extravagant battle, a battle to the death for the shadowthrone. He came up with a plan; he would insert the seed into one of the Son-particularly the one whom was the original Vampire Prince and make them switch roles- However, having that play out, it seems that fate can't really be changed at all his son's weren't fit for their new role, it went nothing like he had planned.

He was not a big fan of tragedies, Fate, however; was fond of them- actually she obsessed over them.

And when there is an action, there must be a reaction.

Now he knew, knew that he had angered a power that governed over him; he had angered Fate.

Now all shall be doomed….

It was just a normal night after the circus, the world fast asleep; but two boys were wide awake.

Having feel guilty for abandoning his friend at the circus, the boy relinquished in the company of his best friend.

" Um, I'm sorry for leaving you at the circus alone Steve.."

" It's ok Darren, you don't have to apologise."

"... Hey, what should we do tomorrow?" No reply, " What did you think of the show? I liked it especially Madam Octa! I wish I had a pet like that! How'd you think Mr. Crepsley controlled the spider?!"

The gray haired boy's face was stuck in a deep concentrated frown as he layed on his bed facing the window, which worried his friend.

"Hello? Earth to Steve?" The boy poked his friend and nudged him with his elbow. " Steve, will you stop ignoring me! you've been like this for the past couple hours! Lets go play soccer or something!"

" Sure..." mumbled the gray haired boy.

The other jumped up in joy and tugged on his friend's arm.

"Then come on! Let's…..go!" his hands slipped and he fell backwards, hitting his head on Steve's shelf of books. A single book fell out of place and flopped into the stomach of the ravenette.

"Argh…. That hurts," having a look of annoyance the clumsy boy rubbed the back of his head and sarcastically stated " Oh sure now you look." Which earned a laugh from his gray haired friend.

"AHAHA! You should have seen your face Darren ! You dope!" he continued to laugh, leaving Darren to pick himself and his wounded pride up; as he stood up the book in his lap fell and flipped open to a page.

"Huh? look what's this?"

There was an old black and white photograph, he examined the photograph and seemed it familiar, the eyes, the nose, the hair especially; then he read the description of the photo.

Taken in the eighteen hundreds of Vur Horston and his friend Alicia

Darren unknowingly repeated the name of the unfamiliar yet familiar face and accidentally slipped it out.

" Mr. Crepsley? " It was then that he recognized who that person before the book was ripped out from his hands.

" Don't touch my thing!" Steve bit back defensively

" S-Steve, I-That...That person looks like Mr Cr-"

"No, he doesn't!" barked Steve

" What do you mean by No? I just saw hi-" Darren placed together the puzzle and asked " Steve, that day when you went back, what did you go back for?."

" It's none of your business,"

" Bu-"

" I SAID NONE OF YOUR BUSINESS!" Steve held the book close.

"..."

A long moment passed between the two, before Darren got up and walked towards the door and walked out of it.

"I'll be at my house if you ever need me, I'll be at my house." he stated depressingly.

Steve watched his friend leave and immediately regretted his outburst when he saw dark figure standing at the corner. of his street, watching him.

The next two days Darren had been avoiding him and he Darren at school which vexed Steve, and only made him regret it more and came up with a single result.

' Maybe he hates me now..' thought Steve, but was quickly pushed away when he saw Darren at the gate talking with Alan and Tommy. He wanted everything to be normal again, even if he was called evil. Therefore he was determined to make up with Darren, he walked up to the group and tapped his friend on shoulder.

" Um..Darren, want to walk home with me?"

Darren thought for a moment before happily agreeing, saying bye to their friends they walked to Steve's house, just like the good old days.

When they rounded a corner three blocks away from his house a man bumped into Darren, making him fall back.

"Oh! Pardon me, child; I wasn't looking to where I was going." the tall thin man held out a hand to the ravenette and the boy took it.

" It's ok Mister, I also wasn't looking to where I was going, bye then." he waved to the adult as they went separate ways.

Steve's eyes langered on the man, then pushed the thought away and continued.

" So? wanna stay for supper?" asked Steve.

" Sure!"

Darren stayed over at Steve's house in which they rebuilt their shaken friendship by reading comics and playing soldier.

" Why are we here soldier!" Steve shouted.

" To destroy the enemy base sir!"

"Right you are men, Now attack!"

They ran around the house as if in a warzone, dropping down and covering their heads when they imagined a grenade going off. They they ran up the stairs shooting imaginary soldiers and then somewhere along the way, Steve got shot in the legs.

" You've got to leave me," he pretended to pant while being dragged by Darren " Go destroy the enemy plane, this is our only chance. Go!"

Darren then nodded and ran up the stairs, he made shooting noises and then an explosion. Darren ran back and lifted Steve up.

"I- huff- come close," Darren turned his ear closer to Steve's mouth "tell my mother to- cough, cough- put extra gravy on my chicken."

"Yes, sir, your final wish is my command," then Darren yelled down the stairs. " Mrs. Leonard! The Sergeant wants extra gravy!"

" Yes, Darren, and would you tell the "Sergeant" that supper's ready" she replied.

They both grinned and raced down the stairs.

After supper Darren was picked up by his father and they waved good bye to each other. Steve felt contempt as his friend became his friend again but before walking into his house, the figure at his corner walked away. Curious, Steve followed him or it and eventually ended up at the old theater.

Walking through the creaking thing, he came to a room that had chair in the middle of it. The chair slowly turned around and there sat Larten Crepsley.

" Why did you come back?" snarled the vampire.

" Well, I didn't want to, but I followed a person here."

"Stop lying, I haven't sensed anybody here for the last two nights."

" I'm no-"

"Shh! Quiet. Somethings coming."

In a split second, Steve was grabbed and carried out of the theater by the vampire. The elder held a protective hand in front of the boy; and as the wind blew away the smoke around the broken theater, a twisted figure rose from its debre.

" Creature, why have you come here." scorned Larten

A single finger pointed to Steve and then both Crepsley and the thing disappeared in a blink of an eye; only to have large craters created out of nowhere on the ground. Steve was suddenly picked up and was thrown across the yard and was about to hit a tree when Horton caught him just in time, and from the force of impact; the surrounding trees toppled over them.

The creature strode over to the mess expecting two bodies to be found, only to find that they had fled; a bloodied trail went over the fence and deeper into the forest.

And there it turned awry as low quiet hiss came from it's mouth.

It begins now...
