Life wasn't worth living anymore. Everyone was after me. They cower in fear of me. I… killed a close friend. Harkat Mulds. I also killed the Lord of the Vampaneze, who was my best friend… when I was a human. Now I'm the Lord of the Shadows. Yup. Me: Darren Shan.
I stared at Vampire Mountain's domed roof of the Hall of Princes. The mountain was deserted of vampires now. Can you guess why?
Debbie… Harkat… They were both gone because of me. I didn't want to kill them. I screamed at myself to stop. But I didn't. My assistant was gone too. I drove her away. Yeah. It was a girl. I blooded her, and she's still alive. Now she's out to hunt me down.
I sighed wearily. When will the nightmare be over?
