Prologue:
The millennium has come and gone. The night won and Daybreak was wiped out. But it seems that the powers that be couldn't just stand by and let the humans be enslaved forever. Nearly a millennium later the willpowers are being reborn even stronger than they were before. Luckily the night was not to be taken totally by surprise. Maya, the first vampire provided Hunter Redfern with prophesies regarding the wildpowers and one who would help him stop them. Lex Mandril, the reincarnation on Mary-Lynnette, is the one who will help banish the day forever. One might believe that the reincarnation of a human like Mary-Lynette would never help in the destruction of anything but she was brought back different, she was brought back bad. Hunter Redfern called together the best the Nightworld had to offer to stop this new threat. John Quin, Ash Redfern, Morgread Blackthorn, Rashel Jordan and Lex Mandril. He named them Black Shadow.
Part one:
The five vampires left Hunter's room without another word. Ash's hand had found it's way back into Lex's. They were walking along the corridor; everyone seemed to know where they were going except Lex.
"Umm guys, where are we going?" She asked. Ash chuckled.
"I forgot you had never been down here before. It is our sanctuary from the young vampires. Quin and I have our own wing were we can escape, throw parties whatever we want. Rashel lives with Quin in his room and Morgread practically lives here as well. Morgread has his girlfriends round 'allot' he like to show them the Redfern mansion." This earned him a glare from Morgread who clearly thought he didn't have that many girlfriends. "But alas I have been sadly alone." Ash said the flippantly but Lex could tell he really had felt terribly alone. Lex could also tell that even though he was desperately lonely he would never have taken another girl to his bed. Lex pulled on his hand to make him look at her, she smiled seductively at him.
//No need to be alone now. // She purred. Ash looked shocked, he almost automatically though, Mary-Lynnette would never have said anything like that. Lex laughed.
//Of course not, little miss purer than thou was still a virgin when she met you and from what I remember when Morgread killed her she was still one. I can't believe her; any self-respecting female would jump at the chance to get inside your pants. She really was pathetic. Plus she was a human, she was scared she couldn't handle it." Lex told him. Ash drew in a sharp in take of breath.
//she was scared; I never knew that. // Ash exclaimed.
//well no need to worry about that now, I am 'not' scared. // She smiled again.
"Where are you going" Quin called out to the two of them. Ash looked up and saw that they were past the door that lead to their wing.
"Quin man, I wasn't going anywhere, I was just… a little distracted." Ash replied.
They all passed through the large door, Lex whistled slowly.
"Wow" she said as she looked around, the hall way was as large as any of the rooms she had previously been in before. Not only that it was decorated in a style she had never seen before. The other rooms in the mansion were all of a gothic style, high ceilings, arches and darkly stained wood but this… this was totally different. There were light wooden floors, white wall, and furniture was the same light coloured wood or glass. "It is certainly 'different'" Lex added. Ash squeezed her hand slightly.
//It's not all like this, I chose how to decorate half, Quin got the other half. This. // he said waving his hand towards the wall, //is Quin's idea. He says he like being reminded of the pre war times, my contribution is decidedly darker. // Lex breathed a sigh of relief, she didn't really mind the style but it was too bright for her tastes. //want to come and see// he asked pulling on her hand.
They wandered down the hall and turned through the third door on the right. She looked around and Lex felt a smile playing on her lips it was defiantly darker. The walls were dark blue, the furniture midnight blue and the floor was black painted wood.
//This is more like it. // Lex said. She defiantly liked this style better.
//I had had wanted a black on black look, but Quin objected, since this is our living room I decided to oblige him. Now my bedroom on the other hand is exactly how I wanted it, since I didn't think anyone would be seeing it bar me. //
//Don't I get to see. // Lex pouted teasingly.
//Of course, right this way. // He held out his arm as if to escort her there. Lex took his arm and they both walked though a door that led off from the living room.
