Bloody Roses at Dawn

Prologue

It was a cold dark silent night in all hollows eve. Everything was quiet except for heart stopping screams that could be heard in the small town. The people from the town didn't dare come out of the refuge of their homes, for they knew what would await them outside. After all the screaming ceased a figure moved in the dark, he was covered in a dark cloak and walked slowly and silently, all that could be seen was his dark long hair, which seemed to be tied up in a low ponytail and his bangs showing, and his shockingly blue eyes that flashed silver in the moonlight.

Chapter 1: Danger following under the moonlight

The old house was silent and dark inside, all that could be heard were chants that were as low as whispers and all that could be seen was lighted by moonlight and candles. The chanting came from a girl with sun touched hair that had silver strands; her eyes were closed in concentration. She was seated inside a pentacle that was drawn on the wooden floor, and in front of her was a thick book that looked ancient.

"Blessed be..." was her last whisper as she opened her eyes to reveal azure eyes that seemed to see everything. She stood up and was greeted by a black cat with green eyes, the cat stared at her intensely as though he was communicating with her, and she stared back and answered his unspoken question in a low husky voice:

"No...Nothing has happened...yet. But do not worry, Anubis, when the time comes I'll be ready. Now come...we must sleep, and the others are waiting, am I right?" with a flick of her wrist the lights vanished and she walked swiftly up the stairs and closed the door.

Next day:

The blonde woman awoke and groggily rubbed her eyes, she rose up to sit on the dark purple and pink silk sheets, her hair falling from the bed all the way to the floor. She glanced at her side to find Anubis curled up; at her feet was another cat that was the color of ash and had little white stripes; at the floor where a few pillows were two wolves were sleeping, one was white with stunning blue eyes and the second one was grey and white 

with ice blue eyes. And lastly in another set of pillow were two dogs: a golden retriever and a black retriever.

She smiled at her pets and singed softly, her voice like an angel:

"Wake up my dears; it is time to greet the day. Get up without fears and without delay..." and with those single verses the sleepy animals opened their eyes and stretched. She got off the bed, got out the room and got into the next one, a small smile on her face. She bended in front two little beds, that looked like very expensive cat beds.

"Wake up little guys..." she cooed, little eyes opened and seemed to sparkle at her presence. Kittens and puppies stretched, she smiled and petted each one.

"I'm going to bring you food and a lot of milk. I won't be long." She said softly and walked out the door, she descended the stairs with the wolves behind her. She opened the front door and ignored the gaping from the young mailman and another young man who delivered the newspaper: she was only wearing a short dark pink silk night robe. The wolves stood on both her sides and growled at the young man who was currently handing her the newspaper.

"Umm...uh...here you go miss. Have a lovely day!" he stuttered unable to look away from her and blushed when she smiled.

"Have a lovely day, young man." She said sweetly and went inside, closing the door behind her. As soon as the door closed, her cell phone rang, the ringtone was the song How soon is now by t.A.t.U. She stood still as the ashen cat brought her the cell phone.

"Thank you so much, Freyja." She said softly to the cat, she answered the call while the cat skilfully climbed to her shoulders.

"Good morning." She said cheerfully as she poured milk in two big metal bowls.

"You must know that I do wake up early once in a while, Rei." Was her reply to the woman teasing her.

"Well good. Now try to make that a habit. Just because you are the owner of the biggest animal shelter in the city doesn't mean that you don't have duties." Rei told the blonde woman.

"Yes, I know. I have to find those lovely kittens and puppies families that would take care of them." She said with obvious tenderness. Rei chuckled from the end of the line and replied softly.

"Yes, I know that...Serenity. That's why I'm proud of you, you are doing your job well. I was calling because I found a bird near my house. I think it's a hawk, but it's wounded. So I thought of you, think you can make it better?" Rei requested in a small voice.

"Sure, I can come over now if you want?" she replied.

"Yes, I am going to be here all day anyway. I'll see you in a bit."Rei replied and they said their goodbyes.

Serenity had breakfast and quickly jogged to her dresser which was made of dark mahogany wood. She drew a few items and closed it again. In 5 minutes she was already locking up her house and walked toward her black M3 BMW with Anubis and the grey and white wolf.

"Hold on tight, Fenrir. We can't have what happened last time now would we." She said teasingly at the wolf, and he barked in reply.

The rest of the day was spent in Rei's house as Serenity nursed the hawk back to health, they chatted cheerfully about everything. It wasn't until they noticed it was getting awfully dark that they said their goodbyes. Serenity walked alongside Fenrir and Anubis to her black BMW, as she walked and a cold chill crept her spine and she shivered, she glanced sideways but found nothing.

A dark figure that was hidden in shadows was staring at her as she got into her car and drove off. The figure smirked and disappeared in an instant.

Serenity was driving while singing along to the song All around Me by Flyleaf, Anubis was curled up in her lap and Fenrir was sleeping in the passenger's seat. It was really dark but the road was cleared and so she was speeding until she saw something passed with blinding speed in front of her. She hit the breaks and stayed there with her eyes widened and panting. When the shock vanished she glanced at Anubis and Fenrir.

"Stay here." She ordered them softly. She parked the car and stepped out, walking to a dark alley. The air was cold on her skin as she was only wearing a flowing golden brown knee high skirt, a white t-shirt with a denim jacket and white sandals. She looked around confused thinking that she was seeing things, until she felt a dark presence; she stiffened as the temperature descended even more. Suddenly, hands came around and encircled her neck and waist. His breath warmed her neck; her eyes fluttered but didn't close.

"Mmmm, such sweet blood...how I'll enjoy drinking the blood of a witch. I haven't drunk from one in centuries." The figure said in a velvet dark voice, she smirked but did not move as her eyes closed.

"You are mistaken if you think I will let you do that...vampire." she said in a strong but soft voice as she reopened her eyes, eyes that were now faintly glowing silver.

Hey! This is my new story. Hope everybody likes it.

OH! And who can guess whos is the handsome dark haired man (cough) I mean vampire...

R&R!
