Hi guys!

I am back with your highly demanded prequel! I know it is short, my apologies, but the next section did not quite fit in with all this so I had to split it up!

As always I own NOTHING except my characters and the plot, everything else belongs to JKR and Stephenie Meyer!

See that little button down at the bottom? Yes! That is the one! Go ahead you know you want to push it! Please? Send me a review or ten! More reviews equal faster chapter appearances!

Faint Beginnings

Ch. 1

"I want to find a way to produce an extraordinary heir. I have been told that you are the only one that can help me. I would like to inform you, should you help me willingly, your reward will be great, but if you choose to defy me by not helping me willingly, I will find it no problem to force you into my service. Then when I no longer have need for your pitiful existence, your life will end painfully!" the cloaked shadow sneered in the yellow candlelight.

"I will do as you desire my lord" the young dark haired woman replied.

"My brother tells me of a female vampire with mind reading abilities, I feel that she is a suitable vessel to carry my heir. How must I go about this, as I know that vampires are forever frozen in the state they were in when they were changed?"

"My lord, there is one spell that can change her from a vampire to a human for 2 hours; during that time she will be able to conceive. After the spell wears off, her body will be as though she had recently been bitten thus allowing her to continue to be pregnant." The dark haired woman replied. "May I suggest that you make your attempts at conception infallible?"

"You may" the cloaked figure replied.

"My lord, if you pair the human form spell with an instant conception spell, I feel that you will be successful." She uttered.

"And if this is not true? What then? How will you fix this?" he growled at the dark haired woman.

"My lord, I assure you that it will work, but in the rare circumstance that it does not, I will offer myself as your carrier."

"That is generous of you. Although I wonder who you proclaim to be that you would think yourself to be good enough to carry my heir?"
