Chapter 1--Blood Lust
Evrana walked outside under the clouds, sighing slightly. She'd never see him again, he'd been killed. There was no doubt in that, she'd seen him die, and now she held no feelings except for pain, sorrow, and longing. No love, or happiness, only the feelings of darkness. She looked up as a light snow, the first snow of the year, began to fall.
She looked up as she neared the castle doors and watched as they swung open, a young man walking out and looking up at the sky. "Hello," she said, walking towards him and looking straight into a pair of crystal clear emerald eyes set behind black wire rimmed glasses.
"Hello," he replied, looking back at her with an intent gaze.
"I'm Evrana," she said, smiling slightly. "Evrana Knightly."
"I'm Harry, Harry Potter," he replied, smiling and shaking her hand. "I haven't seen you at Hogwarts before."
"I'm new, my father is the new Defense Against the Dark Arts teacher, and I'm in Slytherin, so, it's not very likely that you would have seen me, I keep a low profile ever since..." she replied, her voice tapering off at the end.
"Since what?" Harry asked, looking up at her eyes, which were deep pools of silvery-blue-gray. He gave her shoulder a squeeze, she seemed so familiar.
"Since my brother and best, well, only friend Richard died," she replied, sighing, what did she have to loose from telling him, it wasn't as if he didn't know about death, and he seemed so familiar.
"I'm so sorry," he replied, his hand dropping to his side and she smiled again.
"It's alright, I don't really mind talking about it, you know, it's strange, but you seem awfully familiar, as if I've seen you recently, but if I had, I would have talked to you," she said, laughing.
"Yeah, I know, same here. I think it's from my dreams, I know that probably sounds sill to you though," he replied. 'She has the most awesome laugh,' he thought, laughing as well.
"It doesn't sound silly at all, in fact, I think that might be it, so, umm...would you, geeze...I'm so frigging weird," she said, raking a hand through her reddish brown hair.
"What?" he asked, shaking his head.
"I was going to ask you out, but we've just met, and I've never been on a date before," she replied, smiling, he noticed something then, she had fangs.
"Well, ask me," he said, moving closer to her.
"Wh-what?" she stammered, biting her bottom lip.
"I said, to go ahead and ask me," he replied, kissing her. He ran his tongue over her teeth and she pushed him away. "Did I do something wrong?" he asked, putting his hand up to his mouth which was filling from blood that was oozing slowly from a cut on his tongue.
"No, it's just...I'm...there's something you need to know...I'm-I'm a vampire, but I'm safe, I can't bite a person, yet, I'm also a Day-Glow, meaning that I can go out in the day. My motto is Carpe Noctem, it means Seize the Night. I just wanted to tell you," she said, bending slightly and resting her hands on her knees and looking up at Harry.
"I still like you, so ask me out, please," Harry replied, smiling and putting his arm around her shoulders.
Unknown to them, Draco Malfoy was watching them from a window in the Hospital Wing. He ran a hand through his hair. He wanted that girl to be his, not Potter's, no, never Potter's.
