Scene one song: Adagio E Cantabile

L'introduction,

Every year on Lundi Gras night or in better words Mardi-Gras's eve, festivities all throughout the southern region of the United States are celebrated religiously from sunrise to sunset. It was the time where all troubles diminished, all inhibitions released. All needs and wants were satiated through the thousands of carnivals, parades, and ceremonies that rocked the entire region into enjoyment. Although it seemed like the perfect holiday, a time were you could let everything go and do the things you've never thought you could do in the open, it was very far from perfect. Mysterious things occurred on this particular night. The impossible became the possible, and things that were considered children's' tales, suddenly became real and manifested in the shadows of the crowded streets of Bourbon and Canal St. There is a very dark undertone to our famous holiday, and unfortunately, it is not a fable, rumor, or suspicion. It is real...

On this night, beings you only hear of in superstitions and old wives tales wander our streets through the night, undetected. Some come for good fun, most with worse intentions, but the frightening part is that you will never be able to tell who's who among the living and the undead. Because of the positive energy of the celebration, and clouded inebriated eyes from the constant flow of delectable alcoholic treats, perception is ruined. The person next to you smiling, laughing, and singing, could be a creature from the night, letting you enjoy your short time celebrating before they make their final move. Due to the throngs of people, swarming the streets no one would hear you scream. No one would hear you plead for mercy. No one would see the man-like creature dragging you into the shadows of the dark alleys. Mardi-Gras is nothing more than a feast for all. An all you can eat buffet of easy pickings. You ever wondered why most people go missing during these days? It is the same reason locals stay in their homes during holiday nights. We know what happens on this night. We know of the sinister beings that prowl and dwell within the shadows of our cities. Creatures of the night from all corners of the globe come to claim their fun on the holiday. They usually stuck to the shadows during sunrise, and hunt by night under the lure of their beauty or even one of their gifts. They walked amongst the humans only after sunset, watching, plotting, and waiting for the next of the easiest pickings to fill their unchanging bellies.

Although most of them come for the all you can eat buffet, some of them, particularly our Edward, came in search of something much more precious than sustenance. He came in search of something shielded from his grasp for decades; something that was rightfully his. Destiny fated him to his possession the moment a pair of sharp fangs pierced his neck during a celebration sometime in the 1800's. This is his histoire. A story of a destined, obsessive and patient love that all began with a dream…


Just an introduction. This story was originally a 20k o/s that got cut down to 10k o/s for the Mardi Gras Contest for the Twi-girls next door. The contest was cancelled and I had so much to write about that I felt it was unfair for this story to stay a one shot, so i'm putting in all the pieces i had to take out. it's over 20k all together and will be posted in chapters. It is a full fic, and pretty much done besides the editing. For those of you not fond of : Mild violence, mentions of voudoo, ghost and spirits, little gore,sex,alcohol, small drug use, fictional use of historical people, mentions of conjuring practices... yeah. Don't read this. for those of you that follow my writing, you know what to expect. The story begins tommorow, i'm in the editing process, want a tease? leave a review. They always help me smile.

Add me on twitter if you have questions to ask about this.
