The rain poured in a symphony of thunder and lighting. The little carriage drawn by a single old horse came down the road with an old man that looked tired and weary. The man looked behind him to see the dark figure that lay on the straw in the back of the carriage. "Where do you want to go" The old man asked. I looked up at the old man and said. "Head for the tavern at the edge of town" A few minutes later the carriage stopped in front of the Vampyre Inn. I got up off the carriage and gave the old man a few gold pieces for his services. I went to the front of the tavern and opened the door. When I stepped inside all the people in the tavern stopped what they were doing and looked at him. I just stared back and went to sit at the bar. "What will it be stranger" The barkeep asked. "Just give me a goblet of blood wine" I said. The barkeep handed him the goblet and just as I was finishing the last drops I noticed an attractive catgirl sitting at a table in a dark corner of the room starring at me. She had short white hair and her ears and tail were black with white stripes. She was wearing a black body suit made out of leather. I went to the table and asked "Do you mind?" "No not at all" She said. When I sat down I noticed she was staring at me again. "Why are you staring at me like that?" "No reason" she said. Then she smiled at me and man what a beautiful smile she had I almost fell out of my chair. "Are you ok" she asked. "Yeah" "My name is Bloodvein what's yours" I asked. "Laylah" Laylah what a lovely name I thought. During the next two hours we talked and got to know each other a little better.
