It wasn't the best idea to wander alone in a graveyard but after fleeing Emrakul's influence, namely the twisted forms of what used to be people not that much different from me, I found I didn't have much of a choice. Going the other way would have meant my death so I just kept on running until I had to stop and catch my breath.
I placed my hand on a grave marker, panting heavily while the fingers of my free hand clutched a small blade no bigger than my hand. Focused on getting my breath back I barely heard light footsteps until someone stepped into view and I jerked once I finally noticed a pair of brilliant silver eyes belonging to a young man with long black hair that flowed over his shoulders. Wearing expensive clothing he appeared to be in his early twenties but I knew better having heard stories about the vampires that preyed on anyone foolish enough to wander in the dark.
"I didn't expect someone to be wandering alone in a graveyard of all places." He said and I grimaced as he started to head my way ignoring the blade in my hand. It only took me a few seconds to right myself but by then he had crossed the distance between us. "Still this saves me the trouble of walking all over Innistrad." He added as he stepped towards me only to see the blade I carried waved a little too close to his face. Sighing he lifted his head and I found myself unable to break his gaze not even feeling his hand when he slipped the knife from my hand, tossing it over his back.
"That's better. Now I'm going to take you somewhere fun and I can't have our guest of honor walking in armed can I? Olivia would never forgive me." He chuckled as he took me by the hand and unable to resist I allowed him to lead me into the fog. "I'm Kelan Kox by the way."
It wasn't until he snapped his fingers that I shook myself, blinking at the bright light of a series of candles that were dotted around the room. Seeing multple faces watching me I felt myself trembling once I realized that I'd been brought against my will into a vampire's nest.
"Don't be afraid. You're in no danger." My capture whispered and I spun around to find him standing in front of me grinning. "In fact I'm sure that you'll enjoy yourself so much you won't ever want to leave."
"You're going to drain my blood so you might as well get it over with." I whispered, wrapping my arms around myself as I waited for the vampires present to lunge at me. Closing my eyes I waited for the end but when I heard someone snort I opened my eyes to find my jailer holding his sides, his laughter louder now that I was looking straight at him.
"You find killing me funny? What in the name of Avacyn's wrong with you?" I snapped at him and his laughter ceased abruptly, the wide grin he gave me exposing both rows of teeth. Seeing me looking at him wide-eyed and with my lips pressed together he stepped forward.
"I've never found a human so...amusing. You're trapped and in fear for your mortal life yet you continue to stare me down. I was extremely fortunate to come across you in that graveyard. You will make an excellent queen of the vampires!" He called out and all around him vampires began to cheer and clap, one female vampire even coming forward to present me with a crown of royal purple multiple jewels lining it.
