Chapter 1
Two vampires, one male, and one female stood under a street light in the early morning.. Before the sun had risen, before the birds began to sing, before the butterflies fluttered about. Buildings normally cheery during the day were utterly gray and gloomy. Dead silence was all around. The female, Kyra, had ventured into the male's district, a direct challenge to the vampire.
"Is this a challenge?" Rasid asked casually as he walked toward Kyra.
His black eyes stared at the challenger. He wore a black T-shirt tucked into black jeans. A serpent wrapped around a cross hung from a golden chain on his neck. His black boots made a dull thud each time he stepped.
"If it is? Then what?" replied Kyra in a strong voice. She wore a skin tight top that cuts off just below her breasts, exposing her midriff. She also wore skin tight pants that show off her legs and butt. On her feet, she wore black combat boots.
"Then I advise you to back down and leave." Rasid said bluntly. He continued to stare at her, and his voice was icy with warning.
"I'm not leaving. I came here for a purpose, and I am going to carry it out." Kyra replied. She was not afraid of Rasid, although she knew he could demolish her. She had come prepared to fight, and fight she would.
"Last warning Kyra. I'll not ask you to leave again." Rasid said curtly. He didn't want to kill her. Vampires view beauty highly, and Kyra was gorgeous. In his mind, nothing so beautiful should be destroyed.
