Heart of the Undead
Chapter 1: Heir to Darkness
by Dark Dhampir
The night wind blew quietly through trees outside the window. It was past midnight, and all the occupants of th house should have been asleep, but one was still awake, what had the appearance of a twelve-year-old boy, with red eyes and long purple hair that hung loose around his shoulders. He sat in a chair in the corner of the house looking at his bed instead of laying in it. His name was Chrono. He was no twelve-year-old, he was far older than that. As he watched the bed, he couldn't help but smile at what he saw: A sleeping girl with long yellow hair, who appeared to be 17. Wait, I'm sorry but I made a mistake there, let me correct it and try again. He saw a sleeping girl with long yellow hair, who appeared to be 17 years old and marks on her top lip, like she had been bitten by a snake there. He chuckled dryly at the thought, she too was older than she appeared. The last time she wasn't was almost a century ago. He closed his eyes, thinking back that night that had changed everything for him and Rosetta.

It should have been a time of celebration, Joshua was with his sister again. He still had Chrono's horns and didn't have his memories, but those were minor problems. Even better, Aion had gotten so beaten up, he had flown of with his tail between his legs, and probably wouldn't be back for a good long while. That was the good news; the reason they weren't celebrating was the bad news. The fight had made Chrono have to go all out, which in turn took a lot out of Rosetta. Now, she was dying.
