Anyways read and enjoy and I'll update as soon as my notoriously bad memory allows me to bring the floppy disks with updates on in!

Deacon looked around slowly. It had taken him the best part of two days to regenerate after Blade had quite literally scattered him over the temple. The sun was sinking outside and he would soon leave the temple to find another gang of brainless vampires to serve him. That shouldn't be too hard though, after all, he was the blood God. He heard fighting somewhere in the temple and decided to investigate. He allowed his eyes to turn back to their pale blue colour and headed off in the direction of the noise.
When he found the source of all the commotion he was reasonably surprised. A young female human was fighting two of the vampires who had sought refuge in the Temple from the Sun. He stood silent in the shadows and watched as she was grabbed by the taller of the two vampires while the other walked cockily up beside her.
"You look like you'll make a good snack, beautiful." He said opening his mouth to reveal his set of elongated canines. The girl smiled as he brought his mouth closer to her neck and then with a sudden strong and fluent move, twisted from the grip of the large vampire sending him to the ground where he hit his head against the floor and passed out, and sank her own human teeth into the nose of the second. He shrieked and tore his nose from her teeth. He kicked out at her, sending her sprawling across the polished marble floor and crashing into a wall. "Bitch" he screeched loudly. The girl was about to rise when the vampire moved with inhuman speed and perched over her, forcing her back onto the floor. She let out a feral snarl which Deacon heard, causing a grin to spread over his features. "Now, now then" the vampire above the girl said softly growling deep in his throat "Pretty little humans don't snarl." He ran his clawed fingers down one side of her neck, leaving a small scratch. He licked the blood from his fingers slowly then glared down at her "They beg girl." He growled. The girl licked the vampire's blood from her lips and bared her teeth at him
"I don't beg for anyone" she spat, bringing her knee up into his crotch in a fast, forceful movement. The vampire yelped and fell off of her clutching at his groin. The girl rose quickly, looking around for the other vampire, he had disappeared. She felt hot breath on her neck and turned, he was behind her. She fell to the floor again as his fist hit her stomach, she lay still gasping for air as the vampire walked casually to his companion.
"Get up you lazy bastard." He said roughly hauling him to his feet. They both walked to the girl and the smaller one hauled her up by the collar of her black shirt, dangling her above the floor. He didn't have time to move when he saw her arm coming. She locked her arm around his neck and twisted hard, there was a loud snap and the vampire dropped her and they fell to the ground. He became a pile of dust as he hit the floor.
"You're gonna pay for that you little bitch" the remaining vampire shouted. He ran at her and punched the side of her head, instantly knocking her unconscious. She fell to the floor in a heap. The vampire sat atop her and leaned over her neck. He licked the skin alongside her windpipe and descended upon her jugular. His eyes opened wide in surprise when he felt a blade penetrate through his back and into his heart. Then he turned to dust.
Deacon sheathed his blade again and looked down at the girl.
"Dumb bastards don't know a beautiful girl when they see one." He said to himself. He crouched down beside her and touched his fingers to the scratch in her neck. He licked the blood from his fingers and smiled
"You have sweet blood, beautiful" he said softly. He took off his coat and rolled it up then placed it beneath her head. The Sun had set well before the girl awoke. She sat up with a start and looked around, there was nobody in sight. She jumped as she heard a voice
"You know, you fight well" Deacon walked from the shadows and sat next to her.
"Where is he?" she asked frantically. Deacon put a hand on her thigh,
"Hey, relax. I sorted him out for you." The girl visibly relaxed and let out a large sigh. Deacon gulped and took a deep breath "I'm Deacon, Deacon Frost. What's your name?" he asked softly. The girl looked into his pale blue eyes with her own blue grey eyes and smiled slightly. She put a cold hand on top of his
"I'm Raven" she said quietly "listen, thanks for saving me from that vampire." Deacon stopped her suddenly
"Vampire?" he asked, playing innocent, "What do you mean vampire?" Raven looked at him and smiled. Deacon saw her canines, longer than those of an average human and sharp, but still human.
"It doesn't matter" she said softly "I just have an infatuation with 'the dark side' of the world. I like vampires and that sort of thing. I suppose you think that's kind of stupid." She laughed softly and looked away from him. Deacon pulled her face back towards him with a gentle finger placed lightly on her chin.
"Not at all." he said gently, staring into her eyes "You could say I have an obsession with the dark side too." A breeze blew across them from somewhere and rippled the fabric of their clothing. Deacon glanced at her arms and saw small goose bumps appearing along it. He ran his other hand across her arm in an effort to heat her slightly. "Do you want to stay at my place tonight?" he asked her. "You look like you could use some company"

"If you're sure" Raven answered him shyly
"I wouldn't have offered if I wasn't sure." Deacon said, smiling. He stood and offered a hand to her and pulled her off of the floor. He saw her shiver involuntarily; he picked up his coat and draped it over her shoulders.
"Thanks" Raven said. Deacon offered her his arm, she looped her own through it and Deacon led her out of the temple. Neither one said a word.

Chapter 2

Deacon watched Raven as she washed the vampire's blood from her face and her own from the shallow cut on her neck. He lit a cigarette and sat back into the warmth of the large sofa. Raven tossed the bloody cotton wool into the small bin at the end of the sofa and sat back beside him. They sat in silence watching the flickering flames of the fire cast shadows in the room. Raven yawned and her head lolled onto Deacon's shoulder. Deacon looked at her for a moment then placed his arm around her shoulders, holding her gently to him. He tossed the cigarette butt into the ash-tray on the table beside the sofa. He couldn't blame her for being so tired, it was past four in the morning and even he was tired. The strain of having to completely regenerate had had its toll on him, and her, she'd had quite a knock to the head and she'd need to sleep. He sighed and placed his head on top of Raven's then closed his eyes and slept.
He was woken during late afternoon by Raven stirring slightly. He had slipped sideways whilst he had slept and Raven was half laid across his chest. He looked at the clock sitting on the small table across the room and dropped his head back. It was just gone five twenty-five and he still had two-and-a-half hours until he could safely go outside. He looked at Raven and gently brushed her hair back from her face. He stroked her hair for a few moments then lifted the hair at the back of her head from her neck. He smiled; there was no vampire cattle-brand. She didn't belong to another vampire. He resumed stroking her hair, pondering over whether to get up or go back to sleep. He glanced back at the clock and closed his eyes.
Raven woke suddenly and whipped her head up, causing Deacon to wake. Raven looked at him
"I'm sorry" she said "I was just really tired and I fell asleep" Deacon smiled and gently pulled her head back onto his chest
"Its no problem" he replied "I fell asleep too." He started to stroke her hair again and smiled to himself when she started to relax and didn't protest. He glanced across at the clock it was eight fifteen and would be dark outside. "Do you want to have a look around?" he asked. He felt Raven nod into his chest. He sat up and brushed some of the creases from his high- collared shirt, then stood and stretched his arms. Raven stood next to him and placed a hand on her head.
"I have the biggest headache I've had in a long time." She said.
"Fresh air will do it good" Deacon answered. He held out his hand to Raven who took it and he led her into the kitchen.
"You hungry?" he asked. Raven nodded slowly and caught the packet of ham he tossed her. He closed the fridge door and pulled a loaf of bread from the tin by the fridge. He proceeded to make a sandwich and passed it to her. "Aren't you having anything?" she asked. Deacon shook his head "I'll eat later." He said. He walked into a large room with a large number of chairs and sofa's. He saw Raven looking around "This is where I host most of the parties I hold now and again." He told her. He pressed a switch on the wall and the heavy metal shutters outside the windows opened revealing a pool outside and a full moon in the sky. Raven walked to the doors that led to the pool and swung them open. She walked outside, Deacon following close behind her. She tossed the rest of her sandwich over the edge of the roof and sat at the edge of the pool. Deacon stood next to her, looking out over the city, "Beautiful up here isn't it" he said, Raven nodded and began to take off her shoes. Deacon looked at her and smiled, she would make a perfect companion for him. He sat down with her and took his own shoes off and slid his feet into the cold water next to Raven's. Raven looked into his eyes and smiled at him, "You want to go for a swim Deacon?" she asked, Deacon looked at the water then back to Raven "Sure" he said "Nothing better than a cold swim to wake you up." He watched as Raven pulled off her shirt and trousers and slid into the water in her bra and underpants. Then he pulled off his shirt and slipped into the water, causing hardly a ripple to mark the smooth surface of the water. He swam up beside Raven and took a gentle hold on her arm; she turned to look at him. He slipped his arms under the water and wrapped them around her hips. Raven smiled and draped her arms around his neck. Deacon leaned into her and began to kiss her gently. Raven pulled herself closer to him and he began to kiss her harder. "Deacon" she said softly, kissing down his neck while he nipped her ear gently. "Yes?" he replied. "I know what you are." Raven said biting the skin of his neck softly "How?" he asked, pulling away from her. Raven smiled "I saw the blood in the fridge" she replied. "What are you going to do about it?" he asked cautiously. Raven smiled and kissed his neck "Nothing Deacon, I want to be like you too." She replied softly "I want you to turn me" Deacon looked at her and smiled "I thought you'd never ask!" he said. He captured Raven's lips in a passionate kiss, she felt his canines elongate and kissed him harder, pressing her body close to his. He moved down her neck kissing and nipping the skin gently before reaching her jugular and sinking his fangs into her neck. She felt his fangs enter her neck and heard him growling low and deep in the chest, she nipped his ear and kissed down the side of his neck. The water around them turned deep red with her blood and she felt Deacon tear his fangs from her neck. He kissed her and she tasted her own blood on his lips, on his tongue. "I taste sweet" she said breathing heavily and kissing him again, her blood was smeared across his face and she licked it from his cheeks. She suddenly lost her grip on his neck and slipped under the water. Deacon pulled her from the water and held her to his chest; "We've got to get you inside for a while" he said jumping easily from the water onto the solid ground in front of the doors. He took her inside and laid her on the marble floor of the kitchen. He watched as her eyes became the same pale blue as his own, her already long canines extended until they became as long and sharp as his own and her skin paled. After the change had finished Deacon lifted her from the floor and carried her through to the room with the fire. He laid her on one of the sofas and stepped back. Raven sat up and looked at herself. She raised her fingers to her neck, the bite was already healing. She wiped the blood from her fingers onto her tongue and felt at her canines. A smile crept over her face "You like it baby?" Deacon asked sitting on the sofa. Raven looked at her blood covered fingers and held them before his lips. He kissed her fingers then licked the blood from them, Raven moved speedily and wrapped her arms around his neck "I love it Deacon." She said, kissing his neck softly. Deacon growled softly and ran his tongue over the blood on her neck. "Deacon, I'm thirsty" Raven said nipping his neck just hard enough to draw blood. The nick in his skin healed instantly and Raven pulled away from him. "Can we find something to drink Deacon?" she asked him, pulling him to his feet. "Yeah, sure honey. I'm thirsty too." He said. He pulled on one of his high collared shirts and passed her a high necked shirt and her trousers, he watched silently as she pulled on the clothing. She smiled seductively flashing her fangs momentarily allowing Deacon to take her hand and brush his lips across her own before leading her down to the streets below. Hardly anyone was walking the streets. Deacon and Raven strolled casually hand in hand down back alleys. Down a long and shadow filled alley Deacon placed his lips by Raven's ear, "The appetiser approaches." He whispered gently biting her ear. Raven glanced at him,
