In Florence, lived a young gypsy by the name of Esmeralda Florentine. She was known for her emerald green eyes and her chocolate brown hair. In other words her beauty and her fortune readings. Her nomad family often moved from time to time to make a living. A few moths after Esmeralda turned 21, her family moved Milan where she met Herald. Herald was 23 years old at the time and was from a tribe near Milan. There were so many things that made Herald different form any other man Esmeralda knew or ever met. Herald loved Esmeralda so much that he even trusted her with his secret that no one else but the tribe knew. Herald was a werewolf. The tribe didn't take to kindly to gypsies nor Esmeralda's family to Herald. Both families were like cats and dogs-they never got along but one thing they both agreed on was that Esmeralda and Herald should never see each other again. However, the disputes between their families could not bring them down. Instead they decided to leave their families to be together forever. Herald loved Esmeralda so much that he left his tribe to be with her and Esmeralda was more than happy to settle anywhere with Herald once and for all. In the end they both decided Venice would be the perfect place.
One year later in a cool winter midnight the couple bore their first and only daughter. Living in Venice wasn't such a good idea after all, so the family moved to Milan. Herald was still a werewolf and did his job as one to protect his family from the bloodsuckers. Soon he met an unfortunate fate. Police claim it was an animal attack but it seems only Esmeralda knew the truth. By the time the child was 2 and half years old Esmeralda and her child moved back to Venice. Esmeralda made a living by reading palms and telling fortunes.
One night a man came to have his fortune read. He was tall, pale, mysterious and good looking with the most golden mesmerizing eyes. Every night since then he would come just to talk to Esmeralda. She knew there was something special about him just like Herald but this didn't seem bother Esmeralda as long as she knew her child was safe. Esmeralda was curious so she read through her tattered books and she came to the conclusion that this man was a bloodsucker. It wasn't long before Esmeralda realized that this man had fallen in love with her for the years have treated Esmeralda well. Esmeralda couldn't bring herself to confess her love for him because she still loved Herald. Then again she couldn't bring herself to believe that she had fallen for someone or something pertaining to Herald's death. Yet, she knew he wasn't like other blood suckers. He was like the best friend Esmeralda never had. Esmeralda would tell him everything from her love life to her family but she never told him what she knew about him and he never found out.
