~*Introduction*~
Irene Manning gave birth to identical twins sons on a cold, windy night in January. She named them herself just before her death. She named the firstborn Thomas "Todd" Manning-Lord and the other she named Victor Lord Jr. Their father, Victor Lord, had to raise the boys on his own.
When the twins were twenty years old, Victor met a pretty, young woman named Mona. She fell deeply in love with the man who possessed hazel eyes and dark-blond hair. Unfortunately, Victor did not appear to return her love.
Mona attended the ball the twins were hosting in honor of their twentieth birthday. That night, Mona told Victor how deeply she loved him. He laughed at her words and walked away snickering. Mona's heart was aching and she vowed to get revenge.
Mona stood on the balcony of the elegant ballroom. She saw Todd on a nearby balcony overlooking the lovely rose garden. She thought Todd was Victor, the man whom had spurned her love. She used her supernatural powers to cast a wicked spell, turning Todd into a vampire for all eternity. He would remain a creature of the night, until such time as a wooden stake would be driven through his chest, piercing his heart. Then, tearfully, Mona threw herself over the balcony's railing, falling onto the cobblestones far below.
In truth, Victor really did love Mona. He had only been playing with her affections. When he heard of her death, his heart was in torment. He ended up taking his life in the same method that Mona had ended her own.
