So i have decided that this story really needs a makeover because it seems crappy to me! The plot is still the same i just decided to add more details because the other chapter seemed so plain and dry. I hope you find this version more enjoyable. I feel more proud of this than i did the first version. And im going to do things a little differently with the POV's. It will still be from Sakura's perspective but i plan to have half of it in her perspective and then the other half in one of the other girls perspective. But this chapter is going to be all from Sakura's perspective. I hope you like it!

Also the cover for this story is by elanorchuah from deviantart. Thank you!

Vampire Prophecies ~ Chapter 1: Our Beginning

(Sakura's POV)

I wish I could go back to that night. The night that changed not only my life but my sister, Ino's as well.

We were fools to think that two handsome and mysterious men would ever want to court us, yet we followed them like moths to a light. They were like the light to us. So handsome, so kind. They were everything a young woman living in the 1750's was looking for and more.

Our parents did not know of the affair but they had promised to reveal our relationship to them soon enough and that was good enough for us.

They wanted to meet us the night before we were to confront our parents. By the docks of Charleston actually.

Our family had moved to the South Carolina area when we were babies. My sister and I are the only two children of Mr. and Mrs. John Lovett. My parents had experienced many miscarriages before us and figured that it was a sign to stop with us. My father was a rich plantation owner. Though many have heard of the explicit horror stories of slaves being treated like animals, my father would treat them like family.

Many of our neighbors viewed this in disgust and were very offended by this but my father would not care. I really admired my father for his kind heart and generous ways. I just wish I could have seen his face one last time that day. If I had known what was about to happen to us, I would have taken a moment to memorize every curve of their faces and tell them how much I love them. Yet that day I was so wrapped up in my own selfish little world that I didn't even look at my parents as I walked out the door.

Once the men finally arrived, that's when things began to take a turn for the worst. They revealed their true identity to us. They were vampires and they were out to start an army of vampires to go against a certain group. And they wanted to start with us. At that moment Ino and I were so heartbroken that we had no chance to react to what happened next. One of the men lunged for Ino. She screamed as he bit her neck and fell to the ground, unconscious. I stared wide eyed at my approaching kill. I felt like a little animal about to be eaten by a wolf and there was nothing I could do about it. In one blink of an eye he was right in front of me. I gasped as I felt his sharp fangs sink into my neck. I could feel this icy hot liquid flood my blood stream and I slowly start to lose consciousness. The last thing I remember was a chuckle from my attacker as he walked away.

I remember opening my eyes for the first time. It was as if I had been reborn as a more powerful yet graceful individual. I could see things even better than I could before. My sense of smell was heightened to the point of where I could smell the bakery my mother always went to a mile away. My hearing was impeccable and I would have been able to enjoy it had not the first sound I heard been the voice of my attacker saying,

"You are finally awake."

I whip my head around so fast that it cracks. I wince at the pain but I manage to focus my attention to the sneering men. They sat very comfortably against an old oak tree.

"My, she is quite fast. You sure you can handle her Charles?"

My attacker smirks. "Of course I can Henry. My question is whether she can handle my control."

"Control?" I ask.

Charles just shakes his head and laughs. "Yes control. Since I am the one that turned you into a vampire, I am able to control you. It's a basic vampire rule and it is why we have been around for so long."

I stare at him in disbelief. Am I really to be someone's slave for the rest of eternity? I fight back the stingy tears that began to fill my eyes. The last thing I need is to show them that they can affect my this way. I decide to ask another question that may give me a clue as to how to get rid of this control.

"Then how did you get rid of your owner's control? I'm assuming you're not being controlled, am I right?"

"Of course not! I killed him a long time ago."

I smirk. There is my ticket out of this mess but how do I do it?

Charles chuckles. My smirk turns downward into a frown of disgust, his chuckles sound more like a pig snorting.

"My darling," revulsion burn in my eyes when he says this, "do you really think you can kill me like I did my master? Well I've got some bad news for you. I won't let you get that chance."

"I do not know what you are talking about sir." I try to play dumb.

"You cannot fool me. And you will never get the chance to get anywhere near me without my control."

I scoff at this and he notices. That's when he lifted about his hand and motioned me to come to him. My body began to move on its own. 'This is not good.' I begin to panic.

"Do you see what I mean now? You longer have control of your own body. I have the control here and you might as well get use to it."

'No! I will not allow this to happen.' I concentrate like I've never concentrated before. I imagine myself being tied up and him pulling on the rope when I suddenly break the rope and am no longer pulled by him.

"What? You shouldn't be able to do that!" His disbelief leaves him unguarded. It's now or never.

"Well believe it!"

I ran over to where he was and ripped his head off. His partner screamed but I quickly silenced him with a twist of his neck. I dumped their bodies into the water and rushed over to Ino.

I shook her shoulders. "Ino, wake up."

Her eyes flutter open. She was fine thankfully but as I gazed into her eyes I noticed several different things. But the biggest thing that I noticed that instead of Ino's eyes being the color of the sky, they were twin pools of deep scarlet. Blood. I silently wonder if my eyes look the same way hers does. By the way she looks at me, they must be.

"Sakura, what happened? Why are your eyes like that?"

I force a smile. "Everything is going to be fine but we cannot return home."

"Why? What has happened?"

My eyes begin to fill with tears. "Oh Ino! We've been turned into vampires. I'm afraid that if we go home our thirst for blood will make us kill our parents."

Ino became upset at first but she was able to accept this before I was. It took a few days to quench our thirst which meant we had to kill people. We killed homeless single people who wouldn't be missed much. After we were satisfied we began to discover what new features and powers we had acquired.

I had been right about our eyes. They were red, very red. During the day they would go back to their original color though the color was more vivid and they almost seemed to twinkle. Our skin was flawless and paler than before. Our lips became fuller and pinker, our cheekbones more defined and our eyelashes were longer, fuller and darker. Our hair became shiny and soft. We were absolutely beautiful.

Our powers were incredible as well. We had inhuman strength and speed. Our senses were heighten and are stamina seemed endless. I soon loved the fact that I was a vampire as did Ino. After a couple of years in Charleston, South Carolina we decided to go to Paris where there were more people to feed off of. We also hoped that we would find more of our kind there as well.

When Ino and I were little, father would tell of frightening stories of vampires but would always reassure us that they all lived in Europe since that was the Old World and we lived in the New World. We figured that since we didn't see any other vampires in the Americas, then they must all be in Europe. But once we arrived in Paris, we still had seen no sign of any other vampires. It had distressed us to the point that we had thought that we would be alone forever.

Then one morning something exciting happened. I remember I was sitting up against a tree watching the quiet stream flow by. I hadn't touch water since I had been turned, fearing that I would disintegrate like the vampires I had killed if I touched the water. Yet for some reason that day the water seemed to call to me, begging for me to come near it. To touch it. To hold it in the palms of my hands. Feel the water slip through my fingers. I squatted next to the water and ever so slowly lowered my hand toward the water. My hand sat on the icy cold surface before I plunged my hand into the cool waters. Strange enough, when I pulled my hand out of the water a bit of the water came out with it. It floated in midair and followed my hand where ever it went. It then fell back into the water. I decided to concentrate on the water and move my hands upward in one fluid motion and to my surprise a surge of water moved with my hands.

"Sakura come here!" Ino called from inside the little cabin we were currently staying in.

I dropped the water and ran to go see what Ino wanted. When I entered the house I saw pillars of rocks sprouting out from under the wood boards.

"Ino how did this happen?"

Ino was frazzled. "I don't know. One moment I was just sitting on the chair sowing a new blanket and the next I was erecting up rocks from the ground."

I take a moment to process this new information along with my recently discover information.

"Did you feel as if something was calling to you? Like the earth was asking you to do this?" I question her.

She took a moment before she answered back. "Actually yes, it was. But how did you know that?"

"Because the same thing just happened to me."

I explained to her what happened with the water. We were both dumbfounded and now desired answers more than ever. We decide to continue across Europe and into Asia. We hadn't used our powers since that day because we were afraid of what they could do. While in China we discovered that there was an island called Japan that would be a good place to live for a while. While we were there we ran into our first vampires. They were brothers actually, the oldest was named Itachi Uchiha and the youngest was named Sasuke Uchiha. Itachi was twenty-one when he was turned and Sasuke was only sixteen.

"So what brings you two lovely women to our little island of Japan?" Itachi asked us. Hearing his voice was like lying in a bed of silk. It was so soft and smooth and comforting. I was surprised by how much it distracted me.

Ino's the one who answers his question. "We were looking for other vampires actually."

"And how has that been?" Sasuke asked.

"You two gentlemen are the first vampires we have come in contact with since we've been turned." I inform them.

"I'm not surprised," Itachi says as he takes a sip of his sake, "most vampires prefer to not be found."

"So then why aren't you gentlemen in hiding as well?" I ask this time.

"Simple. We are not afraid of anything." Itachi says with a smirk.

We had learned a lot from the Uchihas. They told us that our powers were abnormal and that water is very deadly to all vampires, all except for me that is. They had also told us of rumors about two other girls with affinities for air and fire. They suggested that we look for them for they may have more answers than they did.

After dinner, Itachi and Sasuke walk us to our house.

"It was nice meeting you Miss Haruno. I hope to see you in the near future." Itachi says as he bends down to kiss my hand.

I blush a little. "Likewise Mr. Uchiha."

Sasuke copied his brother by kissing Ino's hand. She giggled with glee.

Ino and I slipped into our house but before I close the door I look at their retreating figures. And I hear what Sasuke says next, "Itachi, I think they are the one. How can you just walk away?"

Does he mean the one as in the one to marry?

"All in due time little brother."

After that night, Ino and I leave Japan to go look for these two mysterious vampires with strange powers like us. While we travel through Transylvania we stumble upon a temple. Of course being Ino, she wants to go into it and explore. What we find still brings shivers down my spine. It was a mural depicting a fighting scene between four women and something or someone else. Their enemy had been chipped away as if someone was trying to hide the identity of this person. But that was not the creepy part. The creepy part was the fact that two of the girls in the mural looked eerily like us.

"They look just like us!" Ino voices my thoughts.

"Maybe it's just a coincidence." I try to reason.

At the bottom of the mural are words etched into the stone. They said, "May their light shine through the darkness that will envelope the world in its darkest hour. Guide us with your gifts so that we may break free from our nightmares."

It wasn't until the beginning of the 19th century that we finally find who we are looking for. Their names are Tenten, who can control fire, and Hinata, who can control air.

"I am so glad to hear that we are not the only ones with unique powers." Tenten tells us.

"Yes this is good news for us." Hinata piped in quietly.

"It is so exciting! The vampires we met in Japan were right about you ladies!" Ino said.

"Vampires in Japan?" Tenten asked.

"Yes, Itachi and Sasuke Uchiha. Do you know them?" I ask them.

"Well we haven't officially met them but we have heard of them." Tenten said.

"They are quite famous for their business empire. They sell everything under the sun." Hinata says.

Ino and I take a moment to process this new information before we ask our next question.

"So have you met any other vampires of particular interest?" I ask them.

"Yes, Naruto and Neji. They were very kind to us when we met them in Spain." Tenten said.

We talk for a little more before Ino suggested that they travel with us. We figured that since we all had such strange powers we could help each other out and figure out what to do. They thankfully agree.

"Where should we live?" Tenten asked.

We all thought for a moment. We had to find a place that had a multitude of people so that when we fed there wouldn't be much commotion if someone goes missing. We also had to find a place where many people came to. I could only think of one place that had all those characteristics. New York City, New York. Immigrants were constantly coming to New York City because of the promise of starting a new life in the newly formed United States of America. It would be perfect and the others agreed with me.

And so as 1850 rolled around, we had established a comfortable life in New York and were ready for any obstacle that was thrown our way. Little did we know that the trouble was just starting to boil beneath the surface.

(Guys' POV)

Itachi and Sasuke enter their house, exhausted from their trip.

"So where have you been?" Neji asked as they entered the room.

"Out." Sasuke said.

"With girls?" Naruto asked wiggling his eyebrows as he smiled mischeviously.

"Hn." Was all Itachi said.

Naruto gave him an irritated look. He never got why the Uchihas always used that sound as their answer to just about everything. It never answered anything, if anything it only intensified Naruto's curiousness.

"We're not going to get any answers from them Naruto." Neji said.

"I guess you're right. Well you are going to have to report where you have been to Leader. His is really pissed off that you guys missed the meeting today." Naruto said.

"I will." Itachi said as he headed toward the office of their leader.

They had joined a secret group called Akatsuki when they were new vampires. Leader helped them when they most needed it and for that they owe him. Everyone in the group owes everything they are to that man. But he is also a twisted man. He has a plan to rule the human world by having each member of the group have a powerful vampire mate and they together shall raise the great demons of the Underworld and cause the world to plunge into darkness. Though Itachi and most of the group don't like his plan, to turn away from Leader would lead to certain death.

Itachi finally reached the door of Leader. He knocked and braced himself from what was to come.

Reviews are much appreciated!
