Dude ANGRYAZNGIRL thanks for telling me to enable the anonymous review button I didn't know there was one and I'm just a little slow. I was home from school today sick so I'll probably post two more chapters.

Okay readers Aubrey is a little out of character right now but that's only because this is the story of how he became the way he is now I promise once he gets the hang of this vampire thing. He'll be back to the same charming devil we all know and love. After all he is teaching himself.

Aubrey awoke abruptly all feeling of fatigue gone from his mind. He dressed in the clothes Elizabeth had brought him the night before. And folded the pants stuffing them inside the coat, he wore brown fitted ridding pants which left little to the imagination; in a good way. Black knee high ridding boots and a white shirt tucked into the ridding pants it was lose fitted an the arms were baggy until they reached the wrist were they turned into a cuff buttoned by a ruby red gem. The front tied at the top but he didn't bother to tie it so it hung open revealing the top of his perfectly waxed chest. The coat was black and not fitted it was airy with large pockets. He waved goodbye to his roommate a cream colored horse and stepped out of the barn into the newly sprung light it was just a little past dawn and the village was already active. He needed a horse it would be crazy to travel on foot.

The item shop was bustling with traffic. He felt different moving among the many throngs of people trying to complete their daily shopping before the sun was too high in the sky.

"Nicholas," The young man turned around to the sound of his name.

"Yes sir?" He replied while stocking the shelves, he was a young boy only 12 a cute little thing; with sandy brown hair and big hazel eyes. "What can I do for you to day Mr. Karew?"

"I was wondering if you father had any horses for sale?" Nicholas looked around for a moment nodding slightly; horses were in big demand right now.

"Meet me at my fathers barn when the sun sets just high enough you can no longer see your shadow for a moment." Aubrey nodded, leaving the shop. He allowed his feet to carry him to the edge of town where he found a young woman doing laundry. He approached her flashing a smile to die for; she giggled in response. He walked towards her and put an arm around her waste she playfully tried to push him away.

"Mr. Karew. It's daylight." She twisted to get away from him. He caught her eye and she froze hypnotized. Aubrey wasn't sure what he'd just done but it made things a whole lot easier he had, had to knock the bum out last night because he was screaming bloody murder. She just seemed to stand their like a statue on moving gazing into his eyes. He would have to exercise how far this power went but not now, now he was to busy. He bent his head to her neck and he felt her body tighten.

"Relax," He whispered and much to his great surprise she did. He buried the newly obtained fangs in her slender little neck removing them he sucked softly and was overcome with the wondrous feeling once again. Her knees gave out and he caught her by the small of her back. Hugging her to him; her life history flooded before his eyes just like the night before all her hopes and dreams her smiles and cries, he pulled away reluctantly setting her behind a near by bush he was careful to hide the laundry too. By the time someone found her he would be out of this village.

It was time to meet Nicholas.

"Come on." Nicholas led him into the barn.

"We only have one up for sale right now. This is Beu." He patted an older looking quarter horse between the eyes. "He may not look like much but he is." Aubrey doubted the horse would even be able to support him let alone run with him. Nicholas disappeared for a moment returning with a halter and lead rope from the tack room.

"How much for him?"

"We want about 28,000 franks."

"28,000! A little steep for this old guy," Aubrey patted the horses worn head.

"I promise you he can run just as good as any other horse out there."

"Look Nicholas," Aubrey turned to the boy. I don't happen to have any cash at this moment. Nicholas eyes shut down.

"No," he replied.

"But. . ." Aubrey began to argue.

"Horses are in a high demand this year Mr. Karew. I was giving you a cheap price because you're a friend of the family but if you're suggesting I give you this horse for free you must be crazy."

"I'm good for it." Replied Aubrey he lied effortlessly.

"No." Nicholas turned and left. "You'll have to excuse me I must go back to the store. Come back when you have the money. I'll hold him for you."

Aubrey knew he wasn't going to have the money but he also knew he wasn't going to leave this barn without this horse.

The doors to the barn flew open and he squeezed the horse's rib cage with his heels. It protested but only for a moment then it broke into a canter. Nicholas had been right the horse ran just as well as any other.

He didn't honestly think he was going to make it out town on the stolen horse with out a fight but he didn't suspect it to be this big of a commotion. This was how you say "not good."

He needed to find away out now. He couldn't slaughter a whole village, closed his eyes willing himself to be anywhere else but here. Anywhere he thought exasperatedly. His knees hit something solid. Had he fallen off the horse; oh that would be rich. A scream filled his ears. His eyes flew open he was in a room. It was small and lit by 3 candles there was a mess of wool blankets and pillows severing as a bed.

"Get out!" Something hard hit him in the side of the head. It felt like a brick. He turned to see who'd thrown it. No anywhere but here. "Get out you devil." Aubrey tried to hush her.

"No it's not like that." She came at him again he threw himself into her storage room. Looking for an escape; he held it shut with one arm; thinking to himself. He had to find away out. All the while he could hear her beating and trying desperately to get the door open.

"Okay." He said aloud to himself. "I want to be anywhere, anywhere but here." She was now screaming and making extremely difficult to focus. He willed himself anywhere else. He opened his eyes a pink dress. He wasn't going anywhere but how, how had he done it before he had some how transported his body somewhere else.

"Father!" The banging stopped and he heard her feet running down the hallway. He threw open the closet door.

"Now think about this Elizabeth does father really need to know about this."

"Father!" He heard the front door slam.

"Apparently he does." He said himself. Focus Aubrey he had to stop her. Most likely she was going to the barn. He looked at the broken shuttered window and before he knew it he heard the wind rushing past his ears. He was going to break his leg but much to his surprise he landed as graceful as a cat. That was definitely a bonus.

He caught up to her in a moment's time. "Let go of me." She screeched.

"Hey settle down."

"Father. Papa."

"Quiet!" He covered her mouth and disappeared around the side of the barn just in the knick of time. Her father walked out the barn door.

"Lizzy, lizzy were you callin' for me?" She cried trying to make muffled sounds from behind Aubrey's large hand.

"Be quiet unless you want me to break your neck!" He hissed. The muffled noises immediately stopped.

"I didn't think you did. Now I'm going to let go of your mouth your not going to yell are you?" She shook her head no.

"PPPAAAAA!" He recapped her mouth.

"I thought you told me you weren't going to yell." He whispered softly.

"Now listen carefully for my patience with you is growing thin. And you don't want to find out what happens when my patience's runs out, do you?" She shook her head again. Aubrey had learned at a young age in life if you couldn't get your way but politely asking the next best way was by threat.

"I need a horse." She nodded. "Now if I let go are you going to scream again?" She vigorously shook her head no. He relaxed his grip but didn't let go of her entirely he didn't trust her sticking around very long. She was shaking obviously afraid of him. He smiled this kind of power excited him, perhaps Ather hadn't been all wrong.
