I do not own the Dark Series or the characters. They all belong to Ms. Christine Feehan.

Her heart was pounding. It had been two years since she had seen her parents. For the past two years she had been living with relatives to broaden her powers and abilities. She had begged her parents for some freedom and the chance to live with others. They had finally come to a compromise with her. She would be able to have her freedom as long as she stayed with family and under the protection of her Uncles. Traveling with the Dark Troubadours was like a dream to Tamara Daratrazanoff and she had a lot of fun. She had learned the arts of her people and even picked up a talent of her own: singing. Granted that she couldn't charm the audience like her Aunt Desari but her talent could still charm the audience. While touring she was able to open the act with a song or two to get the audience warmed up and they loved her.

In fact that was what she was doing tonight. It was the annual get together of the Carpathians and the Dark Troubadours were the entertainment this year.

While traveling, Tamara had picked up on some of the different styles of music throughout the world and that helped her when she wrote her songs. She had no problem singing in front of the audience but tonight was different. Tonight she would be singing in front of him…

"Hey Tamara, are you ready to get this show on the road?" Tamara snapped out of her daydream and looked at her aunt.

"Yeah sure I'm ready Aunt Desari. Let's really blow them away tonight!" Tamara shared a smile with Desari and looked out on the stage which was pitch black. But she could see clearly that the band was already on stage ready to play. Tamara lifted her hood over her face to hide her identity and appearance till it was time to reveal herself. She took a deep breath and started toward the stage.

Well this is my first story. I know that the first chapter is kind of short, but I want to know what you all think of it first before I go on so please review!
