Just looking at Jerith would scare the wits out of most. He wasn't just the worst cruelest creature on Demonic Earth, but he was also the most handsom, which only made him much more of a ferocious killer. The fairer the face, the more dangerous they are, and Jerith had the fairest face in the whole land.
As the ruler he had everything. Fame, control, power, all the vampires at his comand and all the humans he could eat. Yes, there were humans in Demonic Earth, but they were no more than a food source for demons. Able to speak, but not intelligent and filthy. Sure, there were better tasting creatures he could sink his teeth into, but he favored to hear the screams of the humans.
The only thing Jerith did not have was a mate, or someone to share his throne. He had many vampire maidens at his disposal, but none of them met his high standards. He wanted someone as fair as he was and that was very hard to find. He'd seen all the vampires on the continent and still could not find her.
It didn't bother him much. He knew little about love so a mate was only a necessity which he must fulfill. You'd think that after 3,000 years of living he'd have atleast used someone to releive his need. Yet this was something he did not do. In his kingdom the law was to mate for life. He couldn't just use someone. Even if he could, he wouldn't. Not that he had a concious about it. He just didn't think anyone could give him as much pleasure as he gave himself.
He was always looking for something different, but no one knew what it was. He himself didn't know what he was looking for. He had a feeling that he was getting close to finding whatever it was.
One night during his hunt, he'd come farther than he'd ever come before in search of an elusive human scent. Each step he took brought the scent closer and closer. Before long he'd probably be at a whole camp of them. For three whole hours he searched and he was right behind the spot where the scent was coming from. When he made his appearance, he found it was not a camp of humans, nor was it humans at all, or any living creature.
A glimmering blue swirl was hovering above the ground and the human scent was pouring from it.
"A portal? Humans are not smart enough to make portals..."
He stepped through it and found himself in a dark patch of shadow in a daylit castle yard. This was not his castle, and this was definately not his world. There were no scent of vampires or demons, just humans. The scent was almost sickening. These humans were different.
He could not move from this shadow to investigate, being a vampire and all. He'd have to stay here until night.
He looked around and found that the shimmering portal he came out of was still there. Instead of going through it, he decided to stay and investigate, once the sun had safely set. Looking around some more he found a human girl, no older than 17, sleeping against a tree. Her dress had no sleeves, and her middle was bare, save the material covering her bossom, and the material didn't come together until just above her groin region. The dress formed to her every curve until it spread out below her hips. A silver tiara wrapped around her head and the emblem, instead of sticking up, was flat on her forhead. Another strange thing about this tiara was that it also served as a hair ribbon at the back and her long blonde hair was pouring out of it like a ponytail.
Jerith could not help, but respond to her beauty. Indeed she was fairer than he. She was indeed the female he'd wanted as his mate. She had all he was looking for, but she was a human. A human. One of the most disgusting lower creatures, and yet he found one fair. Though this was not at all right, he spent the rest of the day staring at her. Other humans had gone by, but could not see him in the shadows. From what he could gather by their conversations, they were more intelligent than the humans back home and were the dominant species on Earth.
This could only mean that he found a way into another dimention. This was Human Earth.
After a long while, the girl had awoken and left the area. Something jabbed at Jerith when he could no longer see her. He shook his head, trying to talk some sense into himself. She was a human. He was a vampire. Vampires eat human blood. Vampires do not fall for humans.
When night fell, he searched as far as he could, without going too far from the portal back to his own world. After several hours of wandering and gathering information about this place, he returned to the portal and was right back where he was before. He walked back to his own castle, intent on acting as though this never happened. He'd go home, eat and return to bed and tomorrow it will just be a dream.
