Chapter 1: Depression
Patch's POV
I was sitting in a corner on a stool behind a small table in a crowded nightclub, music blaring, casually sipping from my beer. It was similar to Bo's Arcade in Coldwater . . . Coldwater . . . 'I can't believe I let her die! I should've planned a big party for her! If we'd just had a quiet night in this wouldn't have happened!' I thought to myself, my hand tightening dangerously hard around my drink.
It had been three years since that day. That horrible day. The day when my reason for living, was ripped forcibly and harshly from my grasp. It had been exactly three years, since Nora died.
Ever since that day, I had been wondering around the country trying desperately to drown my sorrows in crowded bars and nightclubs . . . and failing miserably.
'I couldn't even tell anyone about what happened to her, and I couldn't even face he mother, to tell her that her only daughter, her only child, was never coming back!' I had been avoiding going anywhere near Coldwater since I was the last 'person' who saw Nora. There would be questions I just couldn't answer – not to mention the fact that I ran away, making me look guilty of something.
I sighed and took a deep swig from my beer, letting the cool beverage glide down my throat. Ever since I walked in, countless scantily clad women were watching me – as a starving carnivore eyes a giant hunk of meat – with glints in their eyes. Some tried to look seductive by dancing – more like grinding – against their friends, biting their lips, or ridding their extremely short skirts up higher.
I just ignored all of them, there was only one for me . . . and she's gone.

I watched in absolute horror as Kaine grabbed Nora and flew a few meters off the ground, hovering.
Kaine had a very ugly, smug smirk on his face while he looked at me, a glimmer of, something I just couldn't place, in his eyes. Perhaps it was victory.
"Now Patch, I would make her death slow and painful so that you could hear her screams as you lie useless on the ground, but it's Nora, so I'll at least let her death be as swift and painless as a 'tainted demon from hell' can make it." He said, pulling Nora's head to the side, exposing her neck.
'NO!' I shouted in my mind, but it only came out as a whisper.
I saw the cruel smirk in his eyes as he moved his lips to her ear, whispering something to her. I wasn't sure what he whispered, but it couldn't be good if Nora's widened eyes and increased struggling was anything to go by.
I managed to push myself onto my forearms and slowly, tried to crawl towards them – though I knew it was hopeless, as I couldn't fly in my condition, I couldn't just lay there and do nothing!
Kaine then moved his lips to her neck, licking it agonizingly slowly before placing his mouth over it . . . and biting down, hard.
"NO!" I managed to yell, reaching a hand towards Nora as she looked at me with teary, saddened eyes, before they – very slowly – started to close.
He struggles slowed, then stopped completely, with Kaine savoring each drop of blood to flow through her wound, and into his mouth. The sound of him sucking the life out of Nora – the one I love, the one I was supposed to protect – was sickening.
He finished and lifted his head, which had a look of pure bliss on it, and faced me.
"My, my, I would never have imagined that anyone could've tasted sooo~ good." He said with that crooked smirk of his plastered on his face.
I had my hands fisted together, clenching them so tight that my nails bit into my palms, and they started to bleed.
"Nora." I whispered, anger, hurt and sadness all in my voice. I felt tears start to form in my eyes as I looked down at the ground – I couldn't bear to look at Nora's lifeless body, hanging limply from Kaine's arms, anymore.
I heard him land a few feet in front of me. I looked up into his evil eyes, then to Nora, who was motionless and being carried bridal style by Kaine.
"You see what you did?" Kaine questioned. "Nora died because of you." He continued, whereas I just stayed silent. "If you had made her go away, or didn't love her, then she would still be alive." He said kneeling down to look me in the eyes.
"N-no," I started, "Y-you are the o-ne that k-ill-ed her."
"I may have killed her, but only cause she was in love with you. If she wasn't, she would now be a vampiric angel . . . just like me." Kaine replied.
"She would n-ever be like y-ou." I managed to get out.
"Oh yes, she would've been. Once turned, we rely on our more . . . primal instincts, and become more . . . animalistic." Kaine said.
"Then death i-is better than bec-oming anything l-ike you." I struggled to whisper. I could feel all of my strength draining, from my injuries and my emotions.
"Keh, I don't have time to waste talking to the likes of you." Kaine sneered as he stood up, turned around and prepared to take flight to devil-knows-where.
"W-wait!" I barely yelled. He stopped momentarily and turned back towards me. "L-leave her body . . . p-please."
He started laughing and looked at me with mirth filled eyes. "Oh Patch, if I left her body with you, then I wouldn't get the satisfaction of knowing that you will never find her body. This is your punishment for Nora's death." He said as he spread his wings and turned around.
"Goodbye, guardian angel." He said as he took off into the predawn sky, taking Nora's with him.
I finally collapsed onto the ground completely. 'Nora,' I thought, 'I'm so sorry.' I started to cry. 'I promised to protect you, but Kaine was right . . . in the end, it was my fault that you died. It was because I loved you . . .'
I though as I started to slip into unconsciousness. The last thought I had before I let the encroaching darkness consume me was . . .
'I'll never love anyone again.'
XxXxX End Flashback XxXxX
'My heart, and my soul, won't allow me to.' I thought sadly.
I looked around the room again, my eyes gazing, uninterestedly at the slutty women, as I observed my surroundings.
One of the women decided to make her move and walked slowly towards me, trying to sway her hips sexily.
"Hey there handsome." She said huskily over the roaring of the music, leaning her elbows on the table in front of me and adjusting her arms to push her breasts together, trying to make them look bigger.
I turned away and had another sip from my drink, ignoring her.
I heard her 'humph' and saw her frown in my peripheral vision. Her frown soon disappeared into a 'seductive looking' smirk, as she lowered her eyelids, making her long eyelashes – obviously fake – lightly graze her cheek.
"What's a hot guy like you doing alone in a place like this?" she asked, moving over to stand next to me.
I just ignored her again as she failed to gain my attention – and not because of a lack of trying.
As I took another drink, she clung onto my other arm and whispered – what I suppose was supposed to be seductively – "Hey, why don't you and me get out of here and do something fun" Leaning up to my ear, trying to get me to acknowledge her in some way.
"Hey, why don't you leave me here to wallow in my self-pity alone?" I asked sarcastically, irritated.
"Huh?" She asked confused, "Well, that doesn't sound like much fun." She said as she put her hand on my leg. "I know something that's much, much, more fun."
I roughly grabbed her wrist, stopping her from stroking my leg again. "Leave me alone!" I warned lowly. I could see a look of fear in her eyes as I stared at her before letting her go, but not before giving her wrist one last, tight squeeze, and turned back to my drink.
Suddenly a fairly muscular guy grabbed me by the front of my shirt and 'oh so kindly' lifted me to my feet.
"Hey, what you doing with my girl?" He asked angrily, tightening his grip on my shirt.
I stayed silent as the woman walked over to the man – obviously her boyfriend – and wrapped her arms around the side of his waist. She smiled wickedly at me before turning on fake tears.
"He was coming onto me! Baby I was so scared, he was about to drag me away! If you hadn't showed up I don't know what he would've done to me!" She exclaimed as she fake sobbed into his shoulder.
"YOU BASTARD! HOW DARE YOU COME ONTO HER!" He growled out at me. "Let's take this outside! Back exit, two minutes! Don't make me come get you!" He yelled at me before letting go of my shirt, draping an arm around his girlfriend's shoulder.
As they walked towards the back exit, which led to a practically deserted alleyway, the girl looked back at me with a smug look on her face, along with an ugly smirk.
I sighed, thinking 'So if she can't get her way, she gets he boyfriend to beat them up for her. How pathetic. I guess I should go out before he comes back and starts fighting in here, I don't wanna get kicked out yet – I haven't finished my beer.'
So I took one more, long swig from my beer, before making my way towards the alley exit. I pushed my way through the crowd before I finally reached the door, pushing it open calmly.
The sight I was greeted with, was not at all what I had expected.
