The night was cool and dark as the raven haired girl made her way through what was once her grandfather's village, the moon her torchlight as she carefully picked her path threw the bushes. She was accustomed to these nightly walks. Her pale skin reflecting the light.

"Ebony, child will you ever tire of this wondering?"

The girl smiled and ran towards the familiar male figure.

"Oh father please I'm a child of the night it is my sole duty to wonder the darkened world. Besides I'm tired of being locked up in the castle I need to hunt."

The man chuckled and hugged her. His fangs flashed in the moonlight as he smiled upon his daughter. For a moment, he couldn't bare it all. He pulled away and looked at her.

"Ebony you should wonder in the day it's safer there are to many dangers for you at night. I wouldn't want anything to happen to you my dear daughter."

"Father I'm not a child anymore I can fend for myself. Besides no one wants to have a dunpeal around anyway." She looked at her father and gave him a sad smile. "I like the night better no one bothers me and I can roam free without the problems of the townspeople."

"But ebony there are many a hunter around and I cannot afford to lose my only daughter. Our kind is hated amongst all others and for you to be hurt of killed would be more then I could ever bear. You really should come home with me now. You can roam tomorrow night."

"Oh ok father but really you should stop worrying it's bad for your health", she giggled as she hooked her arm around his and made the small trek home.
