Chapter 1
Well there I was running for my life, what little life I had that is. My enemy hasn't figured out that I've escaped yet which is good on my half. Right now I'm in the middle of the woods trying to get to the alter which they were trying to destroy. That alter was the only thing I had left to reconnect with my mother and the kingdom where I'm from and it's power is completely unmatchable to anything that had power. I needed to stop them and quick, otherwise I wouldn't be able to stop the enemy. I figured it would take them a while to figure out where I was so I stopped running and sat down on the ground. I looked up at the sky to see a clear night, no clouds, no wind, just the stars and the full moon. I smiled to myself and sighed. The memories of how this all originally started came flooding through my mind. I closed my eyes and began to reminisce over those memories.
It all started on November 1, 2010. Me and my old friend and partner Izuru were sitting around in a little cafe shop studying a profile of my brother's killer when this crap stated. We were about an hour and a half into studying when a smoke bomb came rolling out of the back of the cafe. As the smoke filled the cafe area, me and Izuru took on our fighting stances and waited. Then men, tall, dark clothed, sword wielding men came through the smoke and towards me and Izuru.
"Who are these creeps?" I yelled at Izuru as I dodged the enemies sword.
"I have no idea!" Izuru yelled back.
"You're a vampire, can't you read their minds or something...I know you have that ability Izuru!" I yelled throwing a table at one of the men.
Izuru dodged one of the men and then looked at me, "you're right, I do have that ability. But there's one issue with reading their minds. Something's blocking me out!"
I sighed in annoyance and jumped back to avoid getting sliced with a sword and then heard a grunt followed by a thud and groan.
"Izuru?" I called out.
"I'm fine," he said getting up.
I ran over to him avoiding the enemy and trying not to trip or fall in the process. When I got over to where Izuru was thrown against the wall, I couldn't find him. Then as I turned around to check everywhere else to make sure where Izuru was, I, myself ended up being thrown against the wall. But instead of my back sliding down the wall and my ass hitting the floor, my body was being held off the ground. When the smoke cleared up enough for me to see the entire cafe, I noticed that the person holding me off the ground was one of the men. His monster of a hand was clasped around my petite neck and he was squeezing just hard enough to let just enough air in so I would pass out due to lack of air. I started trying to pry the guys hand off from around my neck when he gave a light squeeze and I stopped and coughed to get air in my lungs. Just as I finished coughing, I heard something or should I say someone clapping.
"It's been awhile Princess." a male said as he walked out from the back of the cafe.
His voice was familiar, but I couldn't place it. Then it hit me. 'Derek!'
"Derek?" I said gasping for more air.
