Prologue

"Nathan promise me that when I wake that my nieces will be happy and not at each other's throat." She looked at him with her eyes growing heavy. She asked Nathan to take her nieces and wait for them to hatch. Then to raise them until she woke for her thirty-year slumber that was rapidly approaching. It was only a matter of seconds that she would enter the world of dreamless slumber.

Nathan walked over to her, held her hand. "No worries my queen I will do everything in my power to protect them." He kissed her hand and her eyes closed. Nathan would watch over the babies, but he wasn't going to stay by their side. He hated what happen to the once queen that he loved dearly. Alas, his true queen died at the hands of an assassin that Nathan believed was his beloved sister's doing. Nathan was willing to watch and see how the new queens would live without him interfering. Closing the casket, Nathan gave the brown eyed queen one last glance before the lid shut for the remaining years of slumber.

When Nathan traveled back to where his queen laid to rest, he fell to his knees as she was no where to be found. What a cruel way to be ripped away from him. So, Nathan took this time to explore what the world could offer and in hopes to find his queen.

The year 1833

After years of traveling, Nathan caught wind of where his beloved was at. France was the country that was filled with arts, rich wine, and love. A sad smile as Nathan thought on how if his queen was still alive, he would spend his time showing her his love. Making his way to the place called the Zoo, Nathan snuck in to see two humans, cut open his beloved queens' body. Hatred stirred in his blood, wanting to kill the humans for touching her in such a cruel way. However, he didn't want to be found for spying, so Nathan remained in his place watching the scene unfold.

The two males showed excitement as they found two cocoons, the babies. When one male tried to open one up, Nathan held in a chuckle seeing how foolish it was to open a cocoon with just a knife. The knife slipped and cut the man's finger, that's when the males realized, that whatever was within the two cocoons was still alive. After hours of working on the mummy, the men called it a night making plans to return early the next day. Once they disappeared within the shadows, Nathan appeared without making a sound. He looked down at his queen, sorrow filled his heart.

"My beloved what a cruel way to be treated after death. Even if this was an accent for how you died, that doesn't mean I have forgiven your sister." Nathan said to the remains. Brushing his hand against her delicate one. He looked away and glanced at the two cocoons in a glassed box. "I will promise you that I will watch over to see how they grow. Hopefully history doesn't repeat itself. For now, my queen I must return to your sister, for she will be waking soon." With one last look Nathan disappeared.

(((((())))))

Years go by and the two cocoons, hatched showing two healthy baby girls. One named Saya, and the other a nameless baby used as test subject. As the two girls grew without knowing one another, life seemed easy for one and the other lived in fear. However, when the nameless girl shared her song, Saya spent her free time looking for that beautiful voice. When she did, fate took effect. The two men who made the discovery of the girls, one aged into an old man, and the other seemed like he didn't age at all. When the old man, Joel, realized his life was coming to an end, brought in a young boy to see if Saya and the nameless girl would reproduce any offspring. The young boy was full of hate knowing that he was sold for a loaf of bread. The parents that he believed loved him, was nothing more then a rotten food in the dirt. Though his thoughts of hate turned into love as Saya showed him affection and comfort. Hope to keep living. When he came of age, he grew curious on why Saya hasn't aged or why she needed blood. Joel only shared a hint about Saya. The young man took what he learned and accepted Saya for who she was. The affection of love took place for both. Saya, who wanted to share to news went to the abandon tower where the nameless girl was at. She shared with the nameless girl, who Saya later named her Diva, about her love for the young man. Diva enjoyed the little visits from Saya. It gave Diva the sense that she was more than just an experiment. Diva was happy to know that someone wanted to be her friend. This also gave Diva hope to survive the tests that Joel and his partner Amshel, would do during the experiments.

Things seemed to be at peace. Until, the day Diva was released. Saya not knowing what would happen, thought it was would be a great idea to have Diva share that beautiful song for Joel's birthday. This was one out of two presents for Joel from Saya. The day started a clear day, as if nothing would disturb the peace. Saya unlocked the door letting Diva free, Saya out having a picnic with the young man, Haji, and the party in full swing. Tragedy struck when Haji went to gather the red lilies, to fall to his death. Saya remembering that she needed blood to live, thought maybe giving Haji her blood, he would live. When that didn't seem to work, Saya ran back to get Joel to help, only to find the place she called home in flames and a young woman that looked like her, with blood dripping on her dress. The guests that were there for the party laid lifeless all over, and Joel at the young woman's feet. Saya realized then that person that looked like her was Diva. Before Saya could react, Amshel took Diva, and disappeared.

The horror of that year was burned into Saya's memory and gave her a purpose to kill Diva and end the existence of the creature they were.

(((((())))))

The brown eye queen woke from her slumber thirsty for blood to make her whole and fully awake. As if Nathan read her mind, he walked over to her, exposing his neck. The ecstasy and the high feeling as she feed on him was exultating. When she finished, Nathan was left in the state of euphoria.

"Where are my nieces?" she asked walking over to a chest full of clothes.

"They are being raised by a human." Nathan stated making his way over to her, to help his queen dress.

"Why are they being raised by humans? Did we not learn anything during my sisters' rule? They betrayed us and killed my sister." She hissed threw clenched teeth. She turned to face Nathan, not letting him finish the buttoning of her dress. "Or did you do this because you still blaming me for what happened to her?"

"Your blood was the cause of her death, Maya." He snapped back at her, not caring that she was now his queen to protect. They stared at each other, full of hate, and sorrow. Nathan forced Maya to turn around so he could finish helping her dress.

"Nathan you know that I loved my sister dearly and that when she became pregnant, I knew that she was right for the throne, to rule our people and the humans. That night when I was on my way back to visit with her, I was knock unconscious. When I came to, I heard of the queen's death. I believed that it wasn't my sister, until…" she couldn't finish as her heart broke remembering the events that unfolded.

"Even if you were not involved, your blood still killed her." Nathan was finished buttoning her dress. "I will take the chest and put it on the carriage. We need to relocate to a different place." Nathan disappeared before Maya could say anything to him.

Maya looked at herself at the mirror, seeing the sorrow that still filled her eyes. She had to find her nieces and take them back. Raise them and teach them ways of their culture. Finishing up, Maya walked out to see Nathan talking with the coach and the stable hand. They stopped when she walked closer to them. On cue, the coach bowed and then went to his potion to steer the horses. The stable hand looked at her, dumbfound with how gorgeous she was. Nathan grunted, scaring the poor boy who ran to the back of the carriage. Nathan held the door open and helped her into her seat. He soon followed sitting opposite of her. Once settled, Nathan tapped the outside of the carriage giving the coach the signal to go. He looked outside, avoiding her gaze. Maya knew that it would take years for him to understand that she had nothing to do with her sisters' death.

Her sister, Saya. Such a kindhearted woman that Maya looked up to and wanted to be. However, Maya's adventuress spirit took her to places with only returning for a few days. Maya had a chevalier that went with her, but in the end, she was alone with no to care for her, except for Nathan.

"When we find a place to settle for a few years, I want to find my nieces, and take them back. I don't want what happen to be repeated." Maya demand.

"If that is what you wish my queen, I will do as you say." Nathan acknowledge, still looking outside.

The traveling was long, but they found a place to live among humans in the country of Italy. Nathan expressed how he loved this country on his travels during her slumber. Maya took his word for it and settled into the life of a human for the next three years. Once they settled, as promised, Nathan took her to where the babes were at. Maya wanted to take them when she arrived, but something stopped her. Seeing the little brown eyed child running around catching butterflies, Maya concluded that maybe letting her nieces be raised by humans might change their fate. Maya looked for the blue eye little girl, the one that would look like her sister. When she could find her, Nathan made a comment that she could be working on lessons. Maya taking that into some thought, agreed with him. With one last look, Nathan took Maya back to their home.

During the time Maya was awake, Nathan stayed far from her never interacting with her. She knew he was still around, and she tried to talk with him she ended up failing. When her next cycle of slumber, Maya asked Nathan to check on the girls when he was able to. This was a promise that he could keep. Maya slept once again, and Nathan traveled only coming back home to check things and then was out into the world once again.

On one of his travels, Nathan made a stop to check on the girls. Staring from afar, he watched as the brown eyed girl that looked like Maya, walk around picking flowers. An older man sat by a tree reading. From the distance, singing filled his ears, he watched as the girl stopped too, wondering where the singing was at. Taring his gaze, he disappeared searching for that voice of an angel. Coming to the end of his search, Nathan stood in front of run down tower. He made his way to the top where the angel was at. With no effort, Nathan walked in without a sound.

"My dear pet, how cruel of them to lock you up in a dirty place." The poor girl turned around, flashing those blue eyes. The eyes of his beloved.

"Who are you?" she whispered; voice rare. Anger stirred as he realized she wasn't being nourished properly.

"A friend." He gave her a polite smile.

"I don't have friends." She stated standing up. The cloth she had on, fell to the ground. Exposing her unclothed skin.

Nathan walked over, putting the cloth back on her. "Well you have one now." He said softly. If Maya knew of this, she would surely attack. Killing everyone. Footsteps echoed through the ruined tower. "My dear I must go. I will be back so don't worry." Nathan disappeared before the door opened. He stood by watching. The young man that he saw years ago, the one who cut his finger trying to open the cocoons, stood at the entrance. That man threw a frail looking human at the girl. Those blue eyes of hers flared seeing blood stained on the human's clothes. Nathan looked away when the girl pounced on the human and drank the poor thing dry.

Something about that disturbed Nathan. Thinking about the times when things were simple with Maya and Saya. The two queens choose to find another source of blood instead of humans. This was their way of coexisting with the humans. He remembered that as he was human himself, before he was attacked by a wolf. Waiting for death, a blue eye angel saved him. Changing him into a chiropteran, a chevalier. That day, Nathan vowed that his life was hers for her doing. Shaking the memory, Nathan went home until Maya awoke once more. He decided to not tell her about her blue-eyed niece being locked up while the other live a carefree life. When Maya requested to go see them, Nathan hesitated, but followed her wish.

Nothing was the same when they arrived. Everything was in flames and bodies displayed. Maya fell to her knees, knowing that something caused her nieces to act out on this. Nathan grabbed her and told her it was best to go home. When arrangements we made for them to return home, Nathan caught wind that the blue-eyed girl was named Diva and was with her chevalier. The brown eyed girl, named after their mother, was on the hunt for Diva. Nathan had no choice, but to say something to Maya.

"I guess we will have to change that." She looked at the charred mansion, "Nathan if we find one of them, you may have to be a chevalier for them. Watch them and helped them. If possible, we may be able to change their minds." Maya walked away as more sorrow filled her heart. Her own mother told her and her sister that they would be able to live in peace and love one other. Their mother tried that but failed when she battled her own sister. History didn't repeat a battle between her and Saya, however, with the third generation, if she didn't stop it, things would turn out to be a battle.

More years went by. Maya slept for thirty years and lived for three years as a human. During her time as a human she searched for the girls. When she was close, her hibernation would take over. Nathan was always there when she woke up and traveled with her in this search. When she was asleep Nathan continued to look. When she woke up once more, Nathan told her about her niece called Diva, that he found her. Maya told him to be her chevalier. He hesitated and revealed that she looked like Saya, Maya's sister. Maya placed her hand on his cheek and told him that maybe spending time with Diva would be closure for him. Nathan asked Maya what she was going to do without him around. She told him that she might go and look for someone to be a chevalier to replace him when he was with Diva.

"Maya I will still be your chevalier. When you are asleep I'll be by her side and when you awake, I'll be by your side." He confessed to her, coming up with a plan.

"My dear Nathan I don't want you to get confused on who you are guarding. When I need you, I'll send for you. For now, just stay with Diva. I will go search for Saya."

The years of searching for the girls, Nathan's hatred for Maya withered away. He still didn't like her, but she was someone that he oversaw. She was from his past, his only living family. Without arguing with her, they parted. Maya went to the last known place Saya was at. The initial that Nathan shared before he left. So, Maya packed her things and went to Vietnam.
