Fire burned down homes as women and children screamed for mercy. Others lay dead, blood oozing out of punctures on their necks. I watched from the shadows as people were killed and eaten mercilessly. I was frightened. Frightened that I might be next. That I might not see the light of day again. I was… scared.

I watched as another of those beasts suck the blood of a human, ripping off the head as it was finished. It looked up at the moonlit sky, giving a triumphant cry. It suddenly turned towards me, smirking as the beast stalked towards me with blood dripping down its chin.

My eyes sparkled in fear as the beast came closer and closer, licking its lips. I closed my eyes as the beast stood right in front of me, grabbing my hair and leaning my head towards the side for better access of my neck. I braced for the pain to come, only to have the hand ripped away from my hair.

I snapped open my eyes, surprised. When I did, my eyes landed on a pair of a different pair of feet then what I saw before. I looked up slowly to see another vampire standing before me. His eyes glowed red and his teeth poked out between his lips. When I looked into those crimson eyes, I saw sadness, loneliness, and kindness. This beast must be different from the others. I could tell.

The beast reached a hand out for me and I took it, letting him pull me up onto my feet. His hand lingered for a moment before letting go. Turning on his heal, he beckoned me to follow. I did without hesitation.

"W-what's going to happen to m-my village?" I ask, stuttering. He took my hand again, making my queasiness disappear.

"It'll be overrun by vampires in several hours. We better hurry up and leave before anymore of those level e beasts come," the vampire replied, his dark metallic voice made me shiver. His raven black hair flowed behind him along with his long red cap.

I only nodded and squeezed his metal clawed hand. For some reason I didn't fear him. He made me feel… safe. He smiled down at me and ruffled my short blond hair with his other hand. I smiled back and walked closer to the beast, my bright blue eyes closing for a moment.

"What's you name boy?"

"Cid… Highwind."

"How old are you?"

"Seven. What's your name?"

"Vincent Valentine."

From that moment on, I knew I was glad to have met this beautiful beast.

Ok, prologue finished. Yay! I had to do a vampire one, I'm sorry. I hope you like it.
