I appreciate the love you guys and I always check for grammatical errors and I apologize if any escapes my eyes

I appreciate the love you guys and I always check for grammatical errors and I apologize if any escapes my eyes. When I write I try to do it to the best of my ability. I have read over the last two chapters and found some errors that slipped my eyes. I apologize again!

Chapter 3

Darien glanced at the woman in bed next to him, one of many that he had slept with throughout the centuries. The woman with the short black almost blue hair stretched, shifting the burgundy sheets showing her small breasts topped with small pink nipples. He felt himself getting hard again. The woman immediately turned facing him sensing his hardness.

"Ready to go again are we?"

She caressed his manhood successfully drawing pre-cum from the tip of his engorged member. She began to kiss her way down from his neck to his member only to lick at the head eliciting a moan from the dark haired midnight blue eyed male next to her.

"That's right my love. Let me take care of your needs."

She began to take him in her mouth moving her tongue around the head until she was abruptly stopped with a hand grabbing a fistfull of her hair and was yanked away from the object she had focused her attention on.

"Amy?"

"Yes my prince?"

"You are to never call me love and definitely not your love and you are NOT my mate." He growled before flinging her up against a wall rendering her unconscious.

Darien sat there a moment before flinging his feet over the bed onto the cold stone floor.

'When will these whores learn that they are not my mate. There are merely objects that satisfy my sexual urges, if at all that'

He smirked at his thoughts. His sexual appetite was known throughout the vampire world to be insatiable and it was rumored that there was no woman out there that would completely satisfy him or tire him out, though many have tried. If he knew women at all, which he did, there would be even more where Amy came from, there always is.

'My prince, are you awake?'

'No. I'm just laying in bed waiting to starve to death.' Came the sarcastic response.

There was a knock at his door.

"Come in."

The wooden doors open to reveal a man with short blonde hair with green eyes who stood at 5'11. The man immediately fell to one knee at the sight of the figure on the bed.

"Stand."

"My prince, your father wishes to speak with you immediately." The figure said after standing.

"I think my father of all people should know that night has come and it is time to feed." He replied while getting off of his bed and pulling on a dark red dress shirt along with a pair of black slacks with black dress shoes.

"I know my prince, but he said it was important."

"Every thing is important to him." He said with disgust. "Tell him I am on my way, oh and Jedite?"

"Yes my prince"

"Get some one to clean that mess off of my wall over there."

The blonde haired man looked toward the wall and saw an unconscious female and immediately knew that the prince's uncontrollable temper had came to light yet again.

"Yes my prince."

Jedite immediately left the room leaving Darien to sit on the bed and ponder.

"What the hell does he want?"

Darien very rarely spoke with his father concerning anything and the only times he did was when Darien killed off one of their kind in rage, especially since his mother was killed off by a slayer nearly two-hundred years ago. The connection between mates were so strong that one can not go on without the other, but his father was living or rather dead proof that he was stubborn to the highest kind and would not leave this Earth until his favorite son had taken over. And his favorite son had to have a mate. He left the bed he was sitting on to head in his father's direction only to run into a servant that was sent in to clean his "mess".

"Get the hell out of my way!"

"Yes my prince" The servant quickly jumped out of his way desperately hoping not to meet the same fate as the female on the wall.

Darien walked down long hallways made of grey stone and passed tapestries of vampires killing and unfortunately in his case, being killed. He soon came to a wide steel door and didn't hesitate to open it and walked into the black and grey throne room where his father sat upon a black and blood red cushioned throne.

"Father what do you want." He said with a hint of annoyance in his voice.

"The Tuskino family-"

"Don't want to hear it." He immediately turned around and began to walk out.

"You will stay and hear exactly what I have to tell to you."

"Or what."

"Or I'll give the throne to Diamond."

He immediately turned back around. Diamond. How he hated that name. His younger brother would stop at nothing to get the throne.

"You wouldn't do that."

"Yes, I would."

"You're bluffing."

"Would you like to try and find out?"

Darien said nothing but stood in silence preparing to hear whatever his father had to say to him.

"Didn't think so. As you know the Tuskino family has been killing off our kind for centuries."

"Yeah so."

"There are prophecies that say that one of the girls in the Tuskino family is the "last generation." And before my last spy went missing in action on trying to kill off the Tuskino family all those years ago, she had told me that the young girl was eight. We haven't had a successful spy on them since, no matter our efforts. If we did our math correctly the Tuskino girl would be twenty-one now."

Darien stood shocked at lost for words to say. He didn't hear anything after his father had said the words "last generation".

"None of the prophecies say why she is the last generation or how. It just says that the fighting will be over."

"I know I know. I read the fuckin' prophecies." He snapped. "So what does that have to do with me?"

"I'm placing you on a search team to find out where and who the girl is. And your mission is to kill her just to be safe."

"Why do I have to do it. I'm the Prince of Darkness."

"And I am the King. I'm sick of you laying around here with nothing better to do but fuck, lay in bed all day, and hunt. You will do as I say, or else."

Darien's eye's flashed angrily as he strode out of the throne room and slammed the metal doors behind him. Any one in the hallway made sure to stay out of the angry prince's way except for a few.

"My prince, are you ok?" A long haired brunette with blue eyes stood at 5'10 asked him.

"Leave me alone Nephrite."

"Is it about finding a mate? That time will soon come my prince."

"Nephrite I said leave me the fuck alone."

"My prince, please tell us what is bothering you." Jedite and a 5'6 green eyed blonde stood in his way.

"Jedite, Zoicite…Get…out...of…MY WAY!!"

"My prince, we all used to be friends at one point in time. We just want to know what is bothering you." Said an ice blue eyed male who stood at 5'10 with silver hair.

Darien ignored all of their pleas and immediately transformed into a Raven and flew out of the nearest open window.

"Let him go Malachite, he's just in pain right now and his father probably pissed him off." Jedite laid his hand on his shoulder knowing that Malachite was going to take after him since he was his best friend, well that was until he started acting like he wanted to kill every one.

"He's in search of his mate and we of all people should know how painful that is. Never being whole and only at half our powers, on an endless search to be one." Nephrite spoke up.

"I on the other hand have found my mate. It's just that she has other interests in mind."

Zoicite painfully said with thoughts of his mate on his mind. Everyone always felt saddened when Zoicite talked about his mate. Amy was a whore and it was known around the entire vicinity that she would give up the goods to any one who held great power. Everyone knew she slept around with their distant friend Darien, his brother Diamond, and some times even the King of Darkness himself.

"I don't think the prince knows that she is your mate Zoicite. I mean how could he?" The short haired blonde said in hopes of comforting his friend. "Amy's also in pain too, even though she does not show it. You two are mates, together as one nothing will change that. Trust me Amy will forget her power hungry grubbing ways and eventually come around in time."

"I hope so Jedite, I hope so."

"Now come, it is time to feed." Malachite said solemnly as the four vampires took off in bat form as they searched for prey in the nearby Italian city.

Darien gave his wings one last final stretch and he transformed back into his vampire form in a back alley. He then proceeded to walk out of the alley in search for prey. He felt like a challenge, a chase maybe? His senses led him to a nearby bar he opened the door and walked in. To all the females in there he was a sight to behold. He grinned to himself as he noticed that every female in the bar was drooling over his well chiseled features, his midnight blue eyes, and his muscular form.

'These catches are easy. I want a challenge.'

He searched around until he found a young red head with brown eyes and another young woman who dyed her hair an aqua blue color with yellow eyes that any fool could tell were contacts. The two girls were the only girls not looking at him in the bar and he immediately knew, that would be his next meal and if one of them was lucky enough to sleep with the Prince of Darkness himself. He walked over to the two girls and immediately tapped into their thoughts and knew that they were not slayers. Thank God for telepathy and mind reading abilities, which only the highest ranking vampires were blessed with.

"Hello ladies."

They both replied with a polite hi then turned back to the other continuing on with the conversation that they were having before they were interrupted. Anger flashed through his blue eyes.

'I swear if they were my kind, they would never had did they would face my wrath.'

One of the females turned around and spoke to the man in a heavy Italian accent that was still standing there.

"May we help you?"

"I think you guys might. I'm new in town and I was wondering on how to get to the Rouge de la Noire apartment complex."

He replied with an American accent, one of the many benefits of living for centuries was that he could prefect any accent and could speak almost any language in the entire world.

"That's just right down the street." The girl with the yellow eyes announced while checking him out. 'Damn he's hot.'

"See what you do is you go straight until you hit the second stop light, then you make a right go down to the fifth stop sign and you should see a bakery, at the bakery you should make a left. And then the apartment complex should be on your right."

"Excuse me?" Darien looked at the red head and immediately pretended that she had just spoken an alien language to him.

"Erica why don't we just show the poor man? He's obviously not from around here."

"No, Ashley. Do you know how dangerous it is to be out there on the streets at this time of night? Much less with a man we barely know."

"Ladies, come on I wouldn't hurt a fly. I mean look at me do I look like a serial killer?"

'Hell no, this man look fine as hell' Ashley thought to herself as she looked at the smile the man had on his face before her.

"As a matter of fact, yes you do."

"No he doesn't! You know what well I'm going to show him where they are at and it's your decision to come with me or not." The aqua haired girl hopped off of the bar stool and began to walk out with Darien in tow.

"Wait. You are not leaving without me. I'm not leaving you alone with some one you barely met." Erica paid for the drinks that they were drinking and immediately began to run out after them.

'Perfect, but I am disappointed that it wasn't that much of a challenge. But the night is still young so we will see just yet!"

The two girls began to lead the way to the car that they were driving and unlocked the doors.

"It's just such a lovely night. How about we walk?"

"Do you know how far that is? I'm not walking with a complete stranger to Rouge de la Noire. You may not be from here but we are, God knows what could get us in these streets."

'God knows, and I do too. That will be me.'

He turned to the girl that was on his side and most likely to go with him.

"Is this true?"

"Yes, we really shouldn't walk around this late at night on that side of town. Something bad can happen to us."

"You really think I would let something happen to two beautiful ladies? Come on the night is still young, have a little adventure. Besides if anything tries to get you I will defend them off." His arm wrapped around the young girl with the yellow eyes as she giggled.

"Alright I'll go, but only if you'll protect me."

"You don't have to worry about that." He flirted back as Erica watched in disgust at her friend and the man they had just met and locked her doors and followed after them.

'I don't have a good feeling about this man. He's weird' She thought as she walked silently behind them.

About halfway there where the street lights started flickering she gave up on her friend and the male that she was with and started to walk away.

"Hey Erica, where are you going?"

"I'm going back. I'm not going to walk around the streets at night, my parents raised me better, and especially with a man I barely know. If you want to stay with him do it on your own." The woman walked into the shadows while Darien began to walk after her.

"Ashley, wait here. I'm going to see if she's ok."

He quickly walked away to the direction of where the woman was last seen until the shadows covered both, until Ashley couldn't see them any more, she suddenly heard a slap and a "Get away from me." come from her friend then there was nothing until a minute later Darien came out of the shadows.

"There you are, I was starting to get worried."

Darien held his face and pretended to be hurt.

"She slapped me."

"Well she can be feisty at times, but that's my friend. What can I say?"

'This is perfect, I've had a quick meal, and by the way this desert is hanging on me I'm going to get some pussy too.'

The two walked away hand in hand and if there were any onlookers they would have noticed the lifeless body of a young red head which slowly transformed into ashes and blew away in the wind.
