"Blood Oath"
York, England. 1774
The moon was full in the night sky. It illuminated the thick coat of fog covering the streets. A Man and Woman walk into a dark alleyway.
"I don't know why you insisted in us coming to such a dreadful place." The woman said.
"Mary, calm yourself, the night is still young and we have each other. We must be weary though: Creatures of the night are among us." The man said.
"Oh, don't tell me you believe in the rumors." Mary said.
"They stalk their prey at night and drink their victim's blood."
He motioned stalking towards her then began kissing her on the neck from behind.
"Peter, I'm sorry but father will be expecting me soon. I must go." She said as she pushed him back and turned around. She then saw another man step out from the shadows.
"Now what's a sweet lass like you doing in such a dangerous place like this?" Angelus said.
"I warn you. Do not try to have me. I have a brave strong man here to protect me." Mary said as she started to back away.
"And may I ask who is going to be protecting him?"
She turned to see Peter fall to his knees and then to the ground dead. A blonde woman emerged from the fog in front of her.
"Men are so predictable. They follow us around like little puppy dogs. Don't you agree?" Darla asked.
Mary did not respond her Peter was dead. She was terrified she would suffer the same fate. She looked at the woman's face it was horribly disfigured. She had long fangs and bright yellow eyes.
"I believe the poor dear is in shock. Perhaps you can relieve her of that." Darla said talking to Angelus.
"I'd be happy to."
His face changed from a normal human face to that of a demon's. His fangs pierced through the skin on her neck and he began to drink. He felt the warm blood as it went down his throat. He listened to the beat of her heart and waited just before death. Then he slit his own wrist and made her drink. Suddenly a horse drawn carriage barreled down into the alleyway. A group of man jumped out with crosses in hand. They waved them in front of the two vampires until they fled. A younger man who appeared to be the leader of this attack group walked up to the young girl's body. She was just minutes away from death.
"Help me."
The man pulled out a crossbow from underneath his coat.
"I will give you eternal rest for eternal darkness." The man said as he aimed and shot her in the heart. She yelled out in pain then slowly began turning into dust.
One of the men from his group spoke up.
"Why didn't you help her?" He asked.
Then man walked up to look him in the face.
"You're new aren't you?" He asked.
"Yeah, but what's that got to do with anything."
"If you stay with us long enough you will soon realize I did help her."

Angelus and Darla ran through the streets as fast as they could. The reached their safe house about a few hours later.
"I told you it was a bad idea coming back to England. Now Holtz has found us again we must leave soon." Angelus yelled out.
"You really must calm down. There has been no word of Holtz for months. People believe that he is dead. England is safe again."
"Oh really than what would you call those men earlier." Angelus asked.
"They were scared little boys with crosses." Darla said.
"We should have stayed and fought, I'm looking forward to killing Holtz. The last time he had me captured he insulted my manhood." Angelus said with anger.
"Yes quite literally too, he will be dealt with soon enough if he is still out there." Darla said as she stroked the back of his head. The sun was just rising as Angelus and Darla slept together.
"Good thing I am a fast healer." Angelus said as he held her down and began vigorously kissing her.
"It truly is my Dear, Dear boy. It truly is."
