A/N: Greetings Readers. This is my first FanFiction that I have written and I sincerely hope you enjoy it.
Crimson Stars: Mass Effect 1/2/3 has been one my favourite video games of all time, and I felt like adding a supernatural twist to it – hence my main OC being a Vampire in outer space. It will start from the first game and I will take it through to the last. Various romances throughout, but ultimately ending with Thane. Dialogue, settings, and much more will change to suit my story.
FanFic Info: Violence / Language / Lemons / Racism.
Disclaimer: Bioware holds all rights to the Mass Effect Trilogy – I only own Elizabeth and various OCs.
Please review.
Prologue: Dreams and Drama
"Elizabeth, you're insane child! Our kind does not belong in space" hissed a tall man with dirty blonde hair pulled back into a neat pony-tail, pale skin and striking white eyes with slivers of silver around the pupil.
The woman he spoke to who looked no more than twenty-one years of age smiled up at the sky with a longing glinting in her bright, crimson eyes.
"I tire of Earth, Llewellyn" sighed the young woman sadly while turning to face the man leaning against a cargo container.
"How many centuries have you and I travelled every bit of land this planet has to offer? There is no more to see here, no more to do. My very soul calls to the stars Llewellyn!" stated Elizabeth, excitement seeping through to her lilting voice at her last sentence.
"Alright, say you manage to slip on board of a cargo freight or merchant vessel yes? What do you do when you step foot on a planet? Do you think they're just going to let you through the security scanners when the systems show you don't have a heartbeat, or you produce no records of your existence? What about when your thirst flares up and you take a bite out of an alien? You don't know if their blood is compatible with our bodies. So much can go wrong for you…" Llewellyn stepped forward and placed his hands on her shoulders while giving her a sad smile.
"I just don't want to see you get hurt Elizabeth, I know full well you can take care of yourself, it is not as if firearms can do much harm to us anyway. But I still worry about you. You've been part of my coven for centuries and I think of you as a daughter"
Elizabeth looked into Llewellyn's pearlescent eyes, her own crimson ones pooling with venom tears. Llewellyn was her sire and had been by her side since she re-awakened to the world back in the 12th century. Their father-daughter bond was strong, but here on this exhausted planet her soul was growing dim. She longed to see the black void up past the heavens, to see the wonders the universe had on offer – but she could not do it if her feet were still rooted to planet Earth.
"I shall miss you, father. But I have to do this, otherwise I shall grow bitter over time and become nothing more than an empty shell. Please give your daughter your blessing, for she cannot travel the stars with a light heart if it were not given"
Llewellyn pulled the raven haired beauty to his chest for a hug and stood like that for what seemed to be forever. They both pulled out of the embrace and Llewellyn held Elizabeth by the shoulders at arm's length.
"It seems that our coven will be having a farewell soiree for you my dear" said Llewellyn as he grinned down at Elizabeth.
Elizabeth beamed, a large grin spread itself across her plump blood-red lips before both Vampires turned to face the setting sun, watching as various ships came to and fro from the docking bay.
Meanwhile on the Citadel...
"This is an outrage!"
