Prologue : Part One
Ballari wakes up wanting to feel a warm body next to hers. Instead she is greeted by a cold; lifeless corpse that got drained the night before. Ballari walks up to the rope by her bedroom door and pulls it. A few minutes later she hears a knock and her door opens. In walks Ballari's friend DJ who says, "You rang miss."
"I need your help getting rid of the body on my bed again." Ballari states matter of factly.
"Oh goody, you killed her. Why do you always kill them?" DJ askes full of curiousity.
"I do not know anyone who can survive a Vampire. Except maybe an Immortal. And until I meet one I will continue to kill them. I'll go for my usual walk after I help you." Ballari states briskly.'
"Well, are you not the nicest vampire I know."
"DJ, we have been friends for over 100 years. I am the only vampire you know." Ballari said smartly.
"It is not my fault that your friends are neanderthals and do not know how to visit." DJ smiles and continues, "Why is it when I bring a man here he goes home the next day? And the women you bring here can not survive one night"? DJ smirks thinking he got in the last word.
Ballari turns to leave her bedroom and says sternly over her shoulder, "I have grown tired you shall hadnle the body while I walk." Ballari left with a slamming of her front door.
D.J. looks at the body and shruggs his shoulders. He picks up the body and takes her to the incinerator and throws the body in.
In another part of the city. Ballari walks down the dark streets enjoying the quiet that only darkness has to offer. When she hears voices coming from the dark alley five feet in front of her; curious she ventures over to investigate.
Ballari silently makes her way closer to the voices; sticking to the darkest of shadows. Ballari sees the women stop talking and the one closest to Ballari looks in her direction. Ballari lets out a gasp because she feels the eyes of the woman pierce her soul.
Since she was a little girl Behavna could sense darkness and pain. Behavna feels that whoever is close to her is completely dark and full of pain. She stops talking in hopes of hearing any noise the dark figure makes. Behavna has her friend leave as she stares intently at the shadows when she hears a faint gasp. Behavna's body tenses out of reflex.
Ballari sees the woman step closer to where she is hiding. She tenses her body expecting a fight when she saw the woman do the same. Ballari does a front flip from the shadow and lands in front of the woman; meeting the the fight half way.
Behavna watches as the figure flips from the shadows and lands in front of her. The figure turns out to be a woman who says, "I thought you were in trouble. I'm leaving now". Behavna blinked at the words surprised while she says, "You look like you had a rough night. Want to talk about it?"
"No, I do not". Came the stern response; stopped the rest of the owrds was a kiss. Behavna walkes closer to the figure. She quickly kisses her and turns to leave. When she hears, "What is your name"?
"Behavna, what is yours"? "Ballari, have a good night." The figure flips back into the shadows. Behavna looks all over for the lady and does not see her.
Ballari runs in the dark not knowing what to make of Behavna or the quick kiss she recieved. She wonders if she met the "Immortal One". Just one kiss was supposed to drive the darkness out of mortals, but who said Vampires were mortal?
