A/N: This was originally a one shot, but I deleted it and decided to devote a whole series to it.

Blah, blah, blah.

Enjoy.

It's a bit short, but I'm only introducing the characters and such. Sorry if it's confusing.

Disclaimer : I don't own anything in this story.


My throat burned and I was almost consumed by my desire. I had not fed in days and my thirst was slowly taking over. Focused on my craving, I ran through the woods trying to find an animal, at least. The pain was unbearable at this point.

I ran around aimlessly through the thickness of the forest until I sensed humans. Guided by my smell, I was able to find a small log cabin. The corners of my lip curled up into a dark smile as I pushed the door open.

Two humans sat at a dirty wooded table, consuming their dinner. Their dull human senses did not notice I stood behind them. With a low hiss, I sprang onto the two.

My yearning for nourishment was satisfied and I headed out the door. However, a soft cry stopped me from leaving completely. I turned my head to the right to see a little girl sobbing quietly in the corner. My brothers and I had a strict law that any human that was a threat to exposing us would have to be eliminated, but a force stopped me from feeding from the girl.

I walked over to the cowering child and let my fingers brush against her face, in an effort to comfort her.


19 years later…

"Aurelia," Marcus breathed, his icy breath tickling my cheek. My eyes opened and I jumped out of my bed with a start.

"Marcus, hello," I greeted him with a peck on his cold skin.

"I hope you slept well."

"As a matter of fact, I did." He looked extremely pleased.

"Would you enjoy my company on your daily walk?" Marcus asked nervously. How silly he was. I had expressed my love for him, yet he questioned something so trivial.

"I'm assuming it's not very sunny today."

"There are dark clouds masking the sun," he answered, confirming my assumption.

"Then I would be absolutely delighted to have your company, Marcus." My husband flashed me a blinding smile and lifted my hand to his lips.


Marcus held an umbrella for the two of us as we walked out to the town center. Silently, we walked upon the pebbled sidewalk.

"What are you thinking of, my dear?" Marcus inquired, staring straight at me, with his piercing eyes.

"How we first met." I was cautious with my wording, yet Marcus grimaced at the memory.

"My apologies," he whispered.

"Te amo, Marcus. I do not even need my parents. I have you." How true that was. Marcus was my everything, the sole reason for my living.

"I love you too, Aurelia," Marcus's melodic voice entered my ears.

We paused to share a brief kiss, but as always, Marcus was careful. I was a delicate human, in his words.


Immortality…I craved for it. The darkness…I loved it. Living forever meant being with Marcus forever, but my husband did not see it that way. He refused for me to life the life he led.

"Marcus, I love you. Why can't you change me?" I complained to my love.

"Oh Aurelia, you are truly a foolish girl. How can I trust that my youthful and spirited love would be able to handle an eternity of darkness?"

"Foolish?" I scoffed. "Marcus, have some faith in me."

Marcus grabbed my cheek roughly with his hand. "Look at you…so fragile and delicate. No, you could never…"

If he only knew how things would turn out…if only…
