Also it will be entirely Ryo pov. The first segment will be approx. five chapters not including prologue. Sooo six chapters. When it's over, look for the sequel,'Red Lust'.

Abstinence

Prologue- Deplorable

The two figures before me seem to be cowering. They both sensed my approach and ran to hide, into the thickening, green forest.

The moonlight bathes the area in a holy light, as it casts shadows onto the ground. I pay no heed to the frosty night. As my skin will forever remain in this frozen state.

A pang of pity flares within my still heart. My breathing ceases as I stalk my prey, and prepare to pounce. When they suddenly stop. I stood erect confounded by their sudden lack of defence.

They stare at me with wide eyes, and I can't help but smirk at their expression.

'If I had a nickle for everytime I did this... not that I'd need it'. I sent out another mental probe, this one snapped them out of their stupor to force them closer to me.

However, I could not, in respect to what little conscience I have left, bite the smaller- so I sent it away. I leave no memories of myself within the mind of this infantile animal, and I return my gaze to the wild buck before me. I feel my teeth elongate at the closeness of the throbbing, pulsating blood flowing within.

I place my arms around the animal effectively trapping it between my hands. I glance around myself. I feel slightly wary, I my seneses subconsciously feel another. There, by the river bank, a lurking figure- some half-mile away.

I begin to invade his mind and am not surprised by the thoughts.

"Of course, who else would follow me". I sense that he senses my presence within his mind. So I spoke aloud knowing he would surely hear me before I bit into the buck and sucked it dry. It's knees collapsed beneath it, and it went hurtling face-first into the ground.

I coulden't stop the smirk that flashed across my face, before I smoothed my face into a quite apathetic visage.

"Ryoma-sama". The man spoke tentively, as if fearful of interrupting me. I smirked as I searched his mind and confirmed my theory.

"So Alex, what could I do for you at such an auspicious time as this? Why do you dare to encroach on my feeding time? Do you take satisfaction in interrupting me?" I felt the man mentally flinch at my inclination.

"N-No Ryoma- sama, of course not. Im sorry I was just sent t-to summon y-you". The man stuttered out pitifully, and I coulden't extinguish the rush of anger I felt. I stood hovering, beside the now whimpering man, within a mere second.

"You dare SUMMON me, how dare you speak to your king with such blatant disrespect". I prepared to strike but retreated it just as hastily, as I controlled my anger.

"Sorry Alex, you should know not to encroach on my feeding time. My emotions run wild, and sometimes even I cannot control myself." I bent down to the cowering man and extended my hand to help him to his feet. He stood and dusted off his tunic

"Of course Echizen-sama, my deepest, most sincerest apologies." I felt a shot of guilt at the lack of familiarization. This young man has worked beneath me since I changed him, almost four hundred years ago.

"I am the oldest vampire in existence, and I still have anger issues." I stated ruefully as I ran my fingers through my hair. I placed my hand on the young mans shoulder and turned his head to look at my golden eyes.

"It is I who should apologize Alex, and call me Ryoma." I lifted his chin and clucked my tongue as I would at any other child.

"I never meant to frighten you. However, I guess being the deplorable creature that I am, makes me a victim to my own nature.

Sooo, what do you think? Huh HUH Huh, do you like? R&R XD TEEHEE
