I am going to stop you, right here and now. If you are completely and utterly turned off by the very concept of vampires, you should probably turn back now. I honestly understand your complex if you do, that damned Edward Cullen can take his sparkles and shove them… Ugh, I apologize, it's just that I generally do not show favor for anything that sullies the name of my kind, and Edward Cullen is the lowest form of slime to associate us with.

Any who, should you not care for vampires, you should close this right here. Right now. We may not be the sparkling, teenage wet dream that you now think of when you here vampire. We may be a secret society that lives among you, that fights to stay alive in discretion. We may be the opposite of almost everything you believe a vampire to be, but I do not blame your prejudices. I hold them against myself sometimes, blame our society I suppose.

If you are still here, still reading, and insisting on pursuing this story, I am now going to warn you; there will be blood. Well, obviously there will be blood, that is what we do. But I mean blood of the unsavory sort. There is a war happening right underneath your noses, and you remain oblivious. Yet, we live it. There will be drugs, there will be sex, and there will a lot of morbid moodiness. Us vampires are specialized in moodiness.

I will be frank as I end this here, I do not care if you like our tale or not. Because either way, it happened to us. We lived it, breathed it, and possibly even died for it. I will not spoil the tale by saying who, but you will see eventually.

We will all continue to battle on whether you choose to except our reality or not. It's what we do. We are the spawn of the world, the creatures of the night (as cliché as that actually is, and almost makes me vomit to say it), we will always be here. Whether you like it or not. So the next time you see a man walking down the street with his sunglasses on, sleeves pulled down, and walking with an undeserved air of self worth, you will know why. And that is all I will say.

My name is Yuu Shiroyama and welcome to our tale. The tale that you lived through without even knowing. It was right beneath your nose.
