Here comes another story from me. I am a huge fan of horror, and vampires happen to be one of my favorite monsters. In this, I will be creating my own lore, based on various movies and television programs. As far as when it comes to being turned into a vampire, I am choosing to use the term "sire". It just seems most comfortable to me.

Chapter One – Sad Beginnings

It was never easy. It was just something that you had to do. Vampires wish to not be feared by the general public. So anything risking exposure was to be immediately eliminated. This even meant ending the life of a loved one, if necessary. For as long as anyone could remember, that was the first rule of being a vampire. It is always the first thing taught after someone wakes up after being sired. This time was no different.

It had been hours since Paige had taken away Dean's immortal life. Still, she held his lifeless body in her arms. She cried silently until she felt someone walking up to her. She gasped, turning to face the person coming up to her. She could sense right away that he was also a vampire, and that he wasn't of any threat to her. "Hi..." she managed to get out as she slowly stood up, Dean's blood covering her clothing.

The tall stranger, covered in tattoos, smiled warmly, sensing that the girl that he had just walked up to knew the man whom she had to put down. "Do you need me to help you take care of that?"

Paige nodded, wiping away a stray tear. "Yes, thank you. I'm Paige, by the way."

"Corey," the man nodded, picking up Dean's body. After discreetly disposing of Dean's body, Corey turned to Paige. "Will you be alright?"

"This was my home," Paige shrugged. "I'll find something, though."

"Nonsense," Corey smirked. "You'll come home with me."

Paige blinked, "excuse me?"

Corey threw his head back, chuckling. "It's not like that, trust me. There are many of us where I live. A room recently opened up. I'm sure that Mary will allow you to stay. Even if it's on a temporary basis."

"Mary?" Paige raised an eyebrow. "Do you mean, the Mary?"

"That would be the one," Corey nodded. "My sister and I have lived with her ever since we were sired."

Paige nodded in return, quickly gathering her things before following Corey. Maryanne Williams was well known in the vampire world. She had recently reached elder status, and was very much respected by the entire vampire community. "So if you live with Mary, what brought you all the way down here?" Paige lived in a small town in upstate New York, where Mary had a huge mansion in Connecticut.

Corey looked down for a moment as he opened the passenger side door to his car, letting Paige in before walking around and getting in. He turned over the engine before looking over to his new traveling companion. "Mary had heard about the murders."

"Dean," Paige nodded with a sigh. "She sent you down to check things out, and possibly take care of the culprit."

"How long..." Corey let the sentence hang in the air, knowing that Paige would catch on and fill in the blanks for him.

"We had been together for ten years. Five years ago, our house caught fire. We were barely alive when our sire found us," Paige ran her fingers through her raven colored hair with a sigh. "I really thought that I could keep him under control. He was doing so well."

"It can happen at any time," Corey nodded as he pulled onto the freeway, back up towards Connecticut. "I've seen it happen with many men. Mary says that she's even had to put down a few women in her day."

"Wow. Now, I knew that there are more female vampires, but I thought that they were all in control," Paige blinked.

"You've got a lot to learn, young one," Corey teased her with a smile.

"So how old are you? I can tell that you're older than me, but I'm not all that in tune yet," Paige looked over after the crimson left her cheeks.

"I'm still learning things myself," Corey nodded with a chuckle. "My sister, Becky, and myself were visiting New York City on September 11th, I'm sure that you know the year."

"How close were you?" Paige bit her lip.

"We were just close enough to the World Trade Center to be fatally injured in the chaos. Luckily, Mary was close by when it happened," Corey shrugged.

"So are you and Mary..." Paige turned away again, blushing once more.

Corey quickly shook his head, "Mary has been with the same man since the '40s. I still don't know the whole story, though. We don't really talk all that much." He paused, eying the attractive woman next to him, "I'm single. Have been since before."

"I'm not even sure why I asked," Paige laughed nervously.

"Making conversation?" Corey shrugged. "We're going to be housemates. You may as well know what you're about to get yourself into."

Paige raised an eyebrow skeptically. "Is there anything else I should know?"

"Mary is a huge flirt, but she's very faithful to her husband," Corey chuckled. "She almost had me once."

"So um... why are you warning me of..." Paige paused, her eyes widening, "oooh!"

Corey nodded, "yes, exactly. She is extra friendly with everyone."

"So is there anything else I should know?" Paige looked over to Corey once more.

Corey shook his head, "it's best if you learn everything as you go along. We just all agreed that it's best to warn the girls of Mary's flirtatious mannerisms."

Paige nodded, "fair enough." She paused, getting into the song playing on the radio for a bit, "wait... you only warn the girls?"

Corey nodded with a smirk, "as you can imagine, it's quite amusing when an unsuspecting male becomes enthralled with her."

"You do have a point there," Paige laughed. "I can't wait to meet everyone."

"I actually have a feeling you'll fit in just fine," Corey grinned as he sped off on the open freeway, in a hurry to get home and to bed.
