Meet Tristian Blue, a direct link from Maya, the next made vampire after
Lord Thierry. Powerful and purely evil, a perfect member of the night world
society. Then meet his soulmate Charli Twan. She's a not so perfect human
with a deformity. It would've been best if they'd never met, never touched,
never knew of each other, but they do.
Chapter One
In the city of Clermont a girl was busy packing while cheerfully humming to herself. She would be heading to Chicago in less than 36 hours. She couldn't wait. What lay ahead of her she didn't know, but she was excited and ready for whatever came.or so she thought.
In Chicago near a downtown club an old and powerful vampire was making a deal of a lifetime. He'd just agreed to partner with one of the most ruthless vampires ever made. A partnership over the next Blood Bash.
***************
"The old powers are rising. There's even a rumor of Maya being resurrected. This Blood Bash will just be part of the next big alliance between the Renegrand and the Rosports." Wilk declared. Tristian narrowed his eyes. Wilk was getting louder by the minute. "Keep it down," he hissed. Wilk's eyes widened slightly then nodded his head. The music pounded the club. Flashes of colors and dancing drunken humans surrounded them. A human bumped into his chair from behind. He turned and sent him flying across the room. "So whom are we meeting here tonight?" he asked angrily. He couldn't stand the music or the humans dancing around him. Personally, he would've killed them all, especially the hooker types who kept eyeing him seductively. But they were good for one thing, and for that reason they lived. Wilk grinned at his use of language. He was about to answer, but was interrupted.
"Ahh so it's all true. Tristian Blue's decided to be part of this alliance. Never in my entire life did I expect that." Jonah sneered coming up from behind them. Tristian eyes him slowly and deliberately. "Jonah how nice to see you're still alive." "I see all these centuries haven't tampered with your humor," Jonah laughed harshly as he pulled up a chair and sat down. Jonah was the next vampire made after Tristian. Both had been friends before Maya had decided to change them.
"Great! The leader of Rosports is here. Now where is, ahhh here he comes." Wilk said as Kramer from the Renegrand walked towards them. He had an impatient look on him and he eyed Jonah warily. "Lets get this over with," he growled.
The meeting had adjourned 3 hours later. Nothing was important had been decided on except which members of each group would be coming to the Blood Bash and where it would take place. The highest-ranking members would be there and they needed 30 girls, 2 for each person. Right now he was on his 8th, which meant he had only 7 more to go. He was at a 24-hour gas station where his next victim would come from. He smiled coyly at her. She blushed under his gaze. He laughed to himself. I should be done in no time. He couldn't stand the stupidness of some humans. It made him sick.
***************
She could hardly believe her luck when the manager of the "Reno" hired her. It was a major bookstore downtown near the Plaza Park. She was planning on majoring for journalism once school had started. She had been there for 2 weeks finding a place to stay and work at. School would start for her in less than 3 weeks. But till then she was content to work in the Reno, listening to readings and stacking new books on the shelves. That way she'd have the chance to see all the newly published books. With the exception of her sister, now 29, and her family, she hardly knew anyone. Her sister Mary had insisted that she lived with them, but she felt out of place. Mary had a family now. Plus she wanted to see the world, or Chicago more specifically. So she rented a place near the park, exactly across from the Reno. That way she'd save more money walking instead of paying for the bus, or the taxi.
Today she had voluntarily stayed to finish unpacking the new books. It was getting dark and the rain was getting heavier outside when she finished. After checking the front doors to make sure they were locked, she grabbed her purse and slipped out the back door. She locked the door from the outside and opened her umbrella. Her stomach grumbled from hunger. Funny she didn't notice it till now. Hmmm I still have some Cup Noodles at home, she thought. Her mouth watered slightly. Maybe I'll pick up some soda to go with it. She walked past the park instead of across it, past the bus stops and cluster of stores. She walked till she reached the nearest gas station. Luckily it was a 24-hour store. In the parking lot she saw an extremely big dark van. A boy, looking a little bit older than her came out of it. He was tall, with dark hair. He didn't notice her at first, but must have felt her stare because he looked up at her. She turned then, shivering. His eyes had been dark, bottomless. She shrugged as she entered the store, with the memory of his eyes still in her mind.
***************
The girl had put up a little bit of struggle, which soon ended as he hit her with a mental nudge. He had barely pulled her in and shut the door when he felt someone staring. He looked up to find a very attractive girl looking at him curiously. She didn't blush when he stared back; she just turned her back on him and entered the store. "Hmmm two in one place. Why not? Hey Wilk, go on ahead. I'll catch up with you later." Wilk had also seen the girl and grinned at him. "Alright you da boss. But when you're done, bring her back! We'll need as many as we can get before they start becoming suspicious," he said. With that he drove off. Wilk was starting to get on his nerves.
He entered the store and searched for her. She was already paying for her purchases. She glanced at him. Again there was no reaction. He smiled at the challenge. She walked past him out into the rain. He followed her becoming part of the night. She was heading towards the park. She walked unconscious of him, into the park and past the playground. "Finally," he muttered as she walked towards a narrow path surrounded by trees. He was dripping wet by then, but he still followed hotly on her trail. He was close enough to hear her humming. She hummed beautifully. Too bad for you, your talents a waste, or will be soon enough, he thought. He was getting ready to strike when he stepped on a branch. She froze. Cursing to himself he hid in the trees. She had turned around then slowly looking around. Might as well do it now before she runs for it, he told himself.
