Alight, so this is the prologue for a story i've been contemplating. I know it short, and don't worry, the chapters will be signifigantly longer. Just... grin and bear for now?

When me and my brother were little, we listened to fairy tales. They were usually the same. A scary monster tried to hurt a princess, and her prince would always save her. Al and I always laughed at that, mostly because we thought the monsters were cool. Like the vampyres... those had always been my favorite. These days, Vampires are icons, the personification of passion and mystery. They captured young girls with their eyes and feasted until their veins ran full. I remember hearing about this one ideal. A vampire with eyes like onyx and ember. He did not burn in the sun, he glowed, like a diamond...

What a load of shit.

Don't believe those stories. EVER. They were made to let children feel safe, and give lonely single mom's a reason to live... and read. A mere fictitious escape...
But Vampires are completely real... and they're monsters.

Tust me.. I would know.

I felt it. The blood, running down my face, just barely avoiding my eyes. The gash on my forhead grew larger and larger as i slammed my head onto the cement. I could blurrily make out a mark in the concrete, and hear people screaming my name, but it was pointless.
The voices... These God damned voices! They were screaming, everywhere, all i saw was meat and flesh and bones and blood! They weren't people anymore, they were cattle. I would gnaw and lick and savor every bite of them...
NO! Go away, damn it! I didn't want them there, I didn't want...

A hand grabbed my shoulder and forced my head up. I stared into a pale, frightened face, before his eyes registered. Deep amber looked back at me, fear and confusion settling in their loving gaze.

"Ed! C'mon, brother, please..." He pulled my face closer and all i could smell was his warm skin. It was like honey... Damn it! NO!
"Al, stop!" He didn't, we were so close now. His eyes were starting to water over.

"Ed, I've already said it. I'm here, you can stop fighting..." I froze, and stared at him. Did he just...?
A nod proved my theory, and he shoved me into the nape of his neck, forcing my mouth on his skin.

I shivered.

So good.

"Al, you don't know what you're doing... I might kill you!" He smelled so good... So tempting. His skin, so pale, so thin. Ed could see the veins just beneath. Still...

So tempting.

It hadn't always been like this... Before, we stayed together, always. We would know how the other felt at every time of the day, and feel it ten fold. It was odd, how close we were. Even so far as to become... lovers. No one else knew. Everyone assumed i was just celebate, which of course, was everything but true. I was Al's first lover.

After that, he clung.

I didn't mind, but it got us looks at time. Those who didn't know us just assumed we were a couple of gays. Those who did eyed us every time we 'Accidentally' brushed against each other. It was unnerving, and very difficult to keep our distance. We had tried to stop, because we knew it was wrong, but it was... difficult, to say the least. Back then, he was the only one who could touch me. We held eachother close...

Now he can't be near me without being in danger.

Perhaps it would be better if I started from the begining? That way, you'd understand abit better. I'd hate to tell you all of this, and you not understand.

So... that brings us to the real question.

Where exactly to begin?

So! tell me what you guys think! Don't be afraid to tear it to peices ^-^ i want to know exactly what's wrong so i can fix it! And please tell me if i should continue! :D

Thanks, loves
