Love Never Dies: A Tyzula vampire romance novel.

A/N: This is what I would consider a fusion of Avatar: The Last Airbender and Bram Stoker's Dracula.

To truly get an atmospheric feel, I would strongly suggest listening to the Dracula soundtrack and the A:TLA soundtrack in some parts as well throughout the story.

(The story takes place in 1990s Baltimore, but the prologue takes place in 1400s Romania.)

Prologue

(A/N: I would strongly suggest listening to "Dracula-The Beginning" off of the Dracula soundtrack during this part.)

(1453 Romania)

It was the eve of a battle between Romania & Wallachia, the sun was setting over the battlefield. Queen Azula was preparing to lead the charge onto Wallachian soil. The cavalry stormed onto the soil and a bloody battle ensued. Azula & the cavalry killed Wallachian soldiers left and right, putting their heads on pikes and hanging their bodies from trees. Within 2 hours, the battle was won. The Romanians were victorious.

Suddenly, a soldier came up to Azula with grave news. "My lady, I have some terrible news, it's regarding your wife, the Princess." he said gravely, pulling a letter out. Azula grabbed the letter from him and began to read:

"Your Majesty,

It is with deep sadness that we inform you of your beloved wife, Princess Ty Lee's death. She believed that you were killed in battle and took her own life out of depression. If you wish to pay your last respects, her body is currently in our church. We are truly sorry for your loss.

Signed,

Father Aang. "

Azula threw the letter on the ground and mounted her horse, riding off back towards the church in Romania. She was fighting back tears the whole way. When she got to the church, the first thing she saw was Ty Lee's body lying on the ground in front of a cross. There was a trail of blood across her cheek, she looked peaceful. Azula dropped to her knees. "Why, darling? Why did you have to go?!" she screamed to the heavens.

Suddenly, a note caught Azula's eye. It was splattered with blood, but it was still somewhat legible.

"I believe my queen is truly dead, I can't live without her.

May God unite us in Heaven.." the rest was illegible. Azula began to cry deeply into her dead wife's shoulder.

Father Aang who had been silent during the first part of this exchange, spoke up. "Her soul is in pain. She is damned…." he stated gravely. Azula let out a scream of fury, and pushed over the baptismal font. Next, she threw a knife at a priest, catching him in the chest killing him instantly.

"IS THIS WHAT I'VE SPENT ALL MY LIFE FIGHTING FOR?! JUST SO GOD CAN STEAL AWAY THE ONE I LOVE MOST?!" she screamed, slicing an angel statue in half with her sword.

Father Aang became angry and thrust the cross in her face. "THIS IS SACRILEGE!" he bellowed.

"I RENOUNCE GOD!" Azula shrieked at the Heavens, cutting the head off of a Bishop. Father Aang made the sign of the cross, but Azula pushed him down on the ground. "I SHALL RISE FROM MY OWN DEATH TO AVENGE HERS WITH ALL THE POWERS OF DARKNESS!" she proclaimed.

She drew her sword and stabbed the cross, causing it to bleed. Every statue, even the candles started to bleed as well.

Azula grabbed a goblet and caught some of the blood from the cross inside of it. "The blood is the life, and it shall be mine!" she exclaimed, drinking the blood from the goblet. She stumbled backwards, seeing the blood engulf the church floor as well as her dead wife. Azula tossed her head back and let out an inhuman howl.
