New Town London 1632,

Jason

I jumped out of the wooden carriage and looked at the alienated Monthouse mansion. It was night-time and me and my cousin Perseus Jackson were on our way to our new house in New Town. It was up the hill and the only house in a radius span of a fifty-four yards or so. Anyway this was one of our many mansions and as we had forgotten that it existed it had turned into a pest dwelling. Mrs Artina, a flower seller in the nearest village had even claimed to have seen a Dracula peering at her from one of the windows. Well, as to justify her statement I would say that she had only seen our other cousin that is, Nico Di Angelo who liked to wear a big black cloak even at night. So it is obvious that she had mistook him for a mythical being. Are you thinking that I an a non believer? Well I am quite far from that as I myself and my whole line of cousins that includes, Percy, Thalia (my sibling), Nico, Bianca and Hazel (Di Angelo's), we are all vampires.

We are all actually about the same age, only Hazel is eighteen, that is twenty. We were actually born in the 1300s and were turned during the black death. All our other family members are dead. I was the first one to become a vampire by practicing alchemy. I had brewed a medicine that I had thought would be able to cure Black Death but It froze time for me and made me extremely strong and week to sun and thirsty. I made my cousins take that medicine and soon we all became like this. I was glad that we all were alive but after about a century we had parted ways t explore the world. Soon enough we had mastered a specific element which had helped us to protect our selves from the sun. It has been there all along in us, one of the chakra's had said, We just had to master it.

Anyway that's my little pathetic story and I have been travelling with Percy since for ever and now we were unloading our carriages and putting the things inside the already furnished house. Well we don't know how vampirism had begun without that medicine but we are not the only ones in the world. We could turn another human into a vampire by simply exchanging blood but I don't know of any other way of doing it.

"We are all done with the shifting." Percy announced after placing the last plant of rosemarie near the porch and was wiping his hands clean with a napkin.

"I am really hungry. I have seen some pretty tasty ladies in the town? Want to go around and grab one? Or there is a whore hole near by if you don't want to hurt innocent women..." I was kind of savage when it came to drinking blood. I never killed the vessel but drained her enough to be anemic for remaining life. You could call Percy a saint in that way. He never drank from a good living person. He generally goes up to the nearest prison and somehow manages to drink ever so little from the criminals who have committed murder.

So he just shook his head at my proposal and said, "I am off to the the police station. It appears they have arrested the woman responsible for the Downason's killing."

"So are you gonna have fun with her?" I asked with a crooked smile.

"No just drink a little from her." He said while pulling on his coat tossing his wig somewhere in the garden.

"Well I'll be off then" and with that he had already vanished.

I was standing and sipping vine and watching the women dance around a bonfire. When a women with a little too tight corset came up to me. Her dark brown hair was adjusted artificially but perfectly in ringlets and was tied up to fall around her face and a bit on her shoulder. Her eyes were brown and her skin was fare as any regular aristocrat. She was completely sober and bowed when she had come close enough. I bowed in return but my eyes were on her bare neck and I could almost hear her pulse. That was making me more and more agitated and thirsty. So I didn't even ask her name but took grabbed her wrist rather roughly and with my other hand on her mouth to keep her from screaming, I strode away from the gathering and ran up to the Monthouse and into my room and finally released the girl.

"Oh my God! Jesus save me from this monster." She was obviously frightened as her over powdered face was sweating and she was praying to god again and again. Exactly this kind of attitude had made Percy turn away just after his first hunt. I jut approached the girl undid the ropes of her gown a whispered in her ear while taking off her corset and the rest of the white material. "You are not going to die."

She obviously believed me as vampires could use their voice to meddle with the minds of their prey and as I was really not going to kill her so it was all well and good. I picked her up and put her on the king sized, wooden and feather bed. Her body was pale and was looking even more delicious on the white bed sheet. So I stared kissing her and she kissed me back and tried to match my force.

"My mother is going to curse me." The girl said after a moment.

"I don't think so." I said gently and kissed her lips one last time.

"Why? Are you proposing me marriage?" She sounded so hopeful.

"No my dear angel." I said while rubbing my thumb against the fragile skin on her neck to find her plus.

"Why?" In response I bit her neck and she screamed as hot warm blood started filling into me. I had been through a lot in all those years. Most of the times I even regretted becoming a vampire. And I envied humans as they didn't have to hide from anything and could live and die and again live. I just wanted to be happy for once after the black death.

"What's your name?"

"My name is Lady Drew Rosamond."

"Nice to meet you Lady Rosamond." That was Percy's voice. I quickly got up and after tidying up I walked up to the music room from where the voices were coming.

"Of course you are it's not everyday that a mere land lord like you is fortunate enough to meet the daughter or Duchess Aphrodite. Tough you are fairly handsome... what was your name again?"

"I am honored to be in your presence but aren't you betrothed to the Earl of-" Percy was cut short by Drew.

"So what if I am? It is not wrong to fill one's heart's desire is it?" I quickly regretted calling her an angel.

"I don't know about that." Percy said with a hint of disapproval in his voice.

"Good morning Lady Rosemond " I greeted as I entered the room and her hungry glance shifted from Percy to me and she said.

"How is it that the most handsome men I have ever met know my name and I don't know theirs." She was dressed in her yesterday's gown with her too tight corset but her hair was all messed up. She sure was beautiful but there was nothing natural in it. I noticed that she wasn't referring anything to last night. So Percy had already dulled her memory huh? He had also covered her bite mark with an expensive white muffler.

"Someone is outside waiting for you Lady Rosemond." Percy said as we both could hear the door or a carriage open outside the garden and the hurried foot steps of a human.

"I will invite her in." I said with a crooked smile but droped it as soon as my eyes were met with Percy's glare.

I knew it was a girl as I could smell her sent. It was the most amazing, mostly because it was not perfumed. I turned the corner and came face to face with an angry Girl who was wearing a dress without a corset and her chocolate-brown hair was hanging loose and barely touched her mid back and it was strangely chopped. Her eyes were kaleidoscopic and were always changing color with her skin slightly tanned. She was beautiful but was really unlady like unlike Drew. I had already prepared a huge grin to impress this girl but she just came up to me and slapped me.

Next is Percy's POV please read and tell me if I should continue.
