A/N: So , Andy Douglas is turning into a vampire and then a mysterious vampire chick shows up and calls him Prince after Andy went to Chase for help, oh, boy. Okay, so, I came up with the name of this series involving The Naturals and this vampire idea for this story and the name will be the Blood Harvest series and more will be explained about who the Vampire Prince is inside of Andy and what the Blood Harvest actually is in the history of vampires.

Disclaimer: I do not own the Naturals in anyway . I do own Karliah , the name Blood Harvest, the research on vampires, and the story itself .

Chapter 1 : Karliah

Chase ' s House

Andy and Chase were not looking at each other wondering why Karliah was calling Andy a Prince and what they both were now involved in with this vampire mess .

" Okay , can you start over with who you are and why you are here ? " Andy asked Karliah .

" Like I already told you , I am Karliah and I have been assigned to protect you as you are Prince of the Vampire race and one of the great warriors of legend . " Karliah said making Andy look at her still confused .

" Huh ? " Andy asked .

" You ' ve been in the dark far to long and that ' s not your fault as it was necessary to protect you from those who would try and stop you . " Karliah said .

" Wait a minute , what do you mean by try and stop him ? " Chase asked looking at Andy .

" I am talking about life and death , " Karliah putting it straight to both Chase and Andy .

" Who would hurt him ? " Chase asked as Andy looked at Karliah a little fearful .

" Vampire hunters , Undead , Dark Priest , Demons , take your pick , there ' s a wide varity of enemies for vampires out there and in the more modern era they have developed more ways to hurt vampires as a whole . " Karliah said .

" Okay , so , why now am I turning into a vampire ? " Andy asked .

" Because the Blood Harvest is upon us . " Karliah said .

" Blood Harvest ? " The Naturals asked .

" Yes , it happens only every one thousand years after the first vampires came into existence . " Karliah explained .

" And the Blood Harvest is what exactly ? " Andy asked .

" Its the anniversary of the birth of all vampires , two thousand years ago vampires came into existance and three Vampire Princes have existed. The first Vampire Prince was set up at the beginning of our existence , the second Vampire Prince at the first Blood Harvest one thousand years ago , and now you are the third Vampire Prince at the dawning of the second Blood Harvest two thousand years after the first Vampire Prince and first vampires were born . " Karliah explained .

" And what happens at this Blood Harvest ? " Chase asked .

" The Prince must meet his bride - to - be and begin the process of bringing new vampires into this world , " Karliah said .

" Bride - to - be , " Andy and Chase both looked at each other .

" Yes , " Karliah said .

" Will I be a vampire all of my life now ? " Andy asked .

" Yes , but you will be able to learn how to turn on and off the transformation process as you learn about your powers and what the vampire blood inside of you is capable of my Prince . " Karliah said .

" First of all , please just call me Andy , " Andy said .

" Of course , " Karliah said .

" And you said that I would be able to learn how to turn on and off the vampire part of me ? " Andy asked .

" Yes , it will benefit you very much in today ' s society as it is much harder to spot a vampire when we are in our human form than it is when we are in vampire form , which will make it harder for enemies to find you . " Karliah explained .

" Okay and what about the feeding thing , how will I know I won ' t go blood crazy and attack someone like Chase ? " Andy asked making Chase look at the both of them curious .

" What is going on ? " Chase asked .

" I am trying to figure out how to make myself less of a danger to you and anyone else I come into contact with . " Andy said to Chase and then look at Karliah .

" Close your eyes , " Karliah said .

Andy looked at Chase first and then closed his eyes like Karliah told him .

" Step closer to him , " Karliah said to Chase .

" Okay , but why ? " Chase asked .

" For you are the only human here at the moment . " Karliah said .

" Okay , " Chase said .

" Alright , Andy , don ' t focus on what you hear , but what you smell and tell me what you are smelling ? " Karliah asked .

" Metallic type smell almost like iron , but musty like . " Andy said .

" That would be your friend ' s blood , does it smell like something you would want to feed off of ? " Karliah asked .

" No , actually , don ' t take this personally Chase , but your blood smells aweful . " Andy said .

" Hey , wait a minute was that an insult or compliment ? " Chase asked confused .

" From him its a compliment , our kind of vampires , mean Andy and myself shouldn't find human blood appealing as we and the other race of living vampires feeds off of animal blood while finding human blood to be unappealing to us . Only the Undead Vampires find human blood appealing enough to deal with their thirst , they are never satisfied , but always blood hungry . " Karliah said .

" Okay , so , the Undead Vampire are evil ? " Andy asked .

" Yes , " Karliah said .

" But , there are two more races of living vampires ? " Andy asked .

" Yes , " Karliah answered .

" What are they ? " Andy asked .

" First are our cousins the ones who dwell in the large families and no longer live the life of the warrior , due to the thirteen original families of these living vampire we call them the Covens . They are friendly toward us and we are to them due to having to defend them from Undead that are trying to hunt and wipe out the Covens first . " Karliah explained .

" And we are ? " Andy asked .

" We are the Valor , warrior vampires that fight off the evils of both our world and the human world which has been our duty since the birth of the first vampire . " Karliah said .

" Do they have different smells as well or is it just humans to vampires ? " Andy asked .

" Undead smell like death , Covens smell a lot like humans but not with quite as much iron in the blood , Valor smell like this , " Karliah giving Andy her arm .

Andy smelled of Karliah ' s blood and didn ' t smell the iron , but the musty smell was still there , but also some type of strong blood smell .

" No iron , still musty , but what else is that ? " Andy looked at Karliah .

" Its the metabolism in our blood that breaks down what we drink from animals into energy that the Valor need in blood . The more you are able to understand your sense of smell the more you will be able to break down the different smells in everything , it will even allow you to know who is approaching you just by how different each person you come in contact with smells . You will also find your other senses much sharper as well , like your sight , you will now be able to see farther away and much better in the dark and your ability to hear will allow you to pick up on sounds many miles away . " Karliah said .

" Okay , anything else I need to know like am I safe to walk around in sunlight or the whole garlic issue ? " Andy asked .

" The sunlight harms vampires is only true for Undead Vampires and the garlic harms vampires is a total myth . Now fire and silver weapons that are sharp is harmful to us , but we can still wear and use silver and fire in combat . " Karliah said .

" Okay , " Andy said .

" So , now what ? " Chase asked .

" We get Andy use to being a vampire and use to the ability to tranform from a human body to a vampire body whenever he wants to in order to keep a low profile from any Undead that may sense the return of a Vampire Prince . " Karliah said .

" How can I help ? " Chase asked .

" You ? " Karliah asked .

" Look , Andy is my best friend and if anyone is coming after him then they may as well be coming after me , so , tell us how to help him and how to stop these things and don ' t think for one minute that I am stepping out of the way from helping him , Karliah . " Chase said .

Andy hugged Chase when he said he would help Andy with this vampire mess .

" Alright , then we prepare both of you to combat the evils that will hunt down Andy , but I warn both of you that it won ' t be easy . " Karliah said .

" We can take it . " Andy and Chase both said in Naturals fashion as neither one of them was afraid of a challenge or hard work .

Caverns - Not To Far Away

" Heh , heh , wake up , wake up brothers and sisters for the new Vampire Prince has been awakened and it is our time to rise and take back the world that is rightfully ours . " One of the Undead Vampires said as he ran into the deepest part of the cavern that held his fellow Undead who were sleeping in their nests .

The Undead Vampires came out of there nests laughing at a chance to finally be free of the troublesome living vampires as it was time for the Undead to rule the world as they saw fit . But , only by the death of the Vampire Prince will they be able to achieve such goals .
