Prologue: The Soul

The pain was unbearable as Angelus felt his human soul force back into his hell bound body. As he screams from the pain, Angelus felt something he hadn't for a hundred years, remorse. All the lives he had taken over the years, all the screams of terror, and cries of mothers as they watched their children killed by him, his cold heart started to hurt. Angelus fell to the ground weeping.
As the gypsies around him watched struggle to get up, one began to speak to him. "Angelus you are a vampire with the soul of a human" she spoke as he tried to listen through his pounding headache. "You must pay for your evil past." she continued "You must become an angel instead of the devil you were." The gypsies began to leave but Angelus calls out to them.

"Stop! What should I do?" he screams. The youngest women steps up to him. "Become a hero who instead of killing humans, saving them from harm. Become good" Angelus stands up "So if I do this hero thing will the pain go away?" His heart hurt again making him fall to the ground.

When he looked up the gypsies were gone. Swearing to himself he stands again hoping not to fall. He hears a scream in the distance. "Ok, let's see if being an angel is easy." He listened for the scream again. It was definitely a woman and she was around 20 years of age. He ran and ran until he finally reaches the woman who was cornered by two other vampires. The other vampires realize Angelus is there and move over to let him bite the woman first. Angelus knew that they were scared of him because every vampire was. He was the worst vampire there was, nobody would cross him. At least he was, but now that he had this soul inside of him…

He approached the woman as she screamed with every inch he got closer he began to smell her blood. The scent was hard to resist but he knew what would happen if he drank. He turned to the two vampires and stopped moving.

Both of them not realizing what was going to happen they stepped back. Angelus smiled then went toward the first vampire. It was easy the vampire gave no effort to hurt Angelus but it was the last mistake he'd make. Angelus ripped the vampire's throat out and felt the cold blood against his hand. It had no effect on him it was warm blood that spiked the beast in him. The other vampire saw what had happened and began to run. Angelus grabbed a sharp piece of wood and ran after him. Angelus was faster than him and caught up to him easily and thrust the stake through the helpless vampire's dead heart.

"I must see if the woman is ok" Angelus said as he turned around running back to her. When he finds her she is afraid. "Are you ok?" He asks her. "Yes thank you" and Angelus takes her hand to help her get up. Then Angelus smelled the sweet scent again and looked at the young woman's arm. He sees the blood. He knows the price of drinking her dry but the overpowering scent and thirst. "Are you ok?" she asks. He looks at her and shakes his head "I'm sorry" and he attacks.
