Chapter 1: Introduction

Notes: Disclaimer: I do not own Darren Shan or any characters/plots of the Cirque Du Freak series. This is purely a fan fiction/retelling of the original novels. Also, I publish these chapters unedited. Any mistakes will be fixed in the future, or upon revising the full finished draft. The only person I own is my OC Eliza. Florence Warren belongs to user Connisaur. Any feedback is appreciated! Please enjoy!

This is a story about fate. My story about fate to be exact. The fate of myself and my best friend.

My best friend was named Darren Shan—otherwise known as the boy who completely fucked up my life. We grew up together and planned to live out our lives together—no, not by getting married! We planned to live out our lives together as Vampire's Assistants.

I must warn you, the journey ahead was long and rigorous. It wasn't exactly a happy one, either. But everything that I say is true.

Whether you choose to believe that or not is your decision.
