Alright, I want to be honest that over the past few weeks that I have updated Our Bloody Memories, I have over 170 hits. However, my reviews are in total of ten, and two authors have review. I may be happy to see the hits, but my self-esteem had drop a bit. I'm not sure why, but I had a chance to discuss this to an author and friend of mine about it, and it could be a possibility that not a lot of people are a fan of Brooklyn.

Chapter Seven: First Sight
"When he set eyes on her, the world around him changed."
Being an heir of Blood Trillium seemed good for many vampires, but for Brooklyn it was hard and busy.
Over the past few days after the tournament, every vampire especially the females were all over him. They would always hang out with him, even at times where he just wanted to be alone, and females would flirt to get his attention, but no luck.
Well except for Crusher, Garland and Mystel. They have been friends before he was declared as the heir of Blood Trillium.
With his duties as a young adult he had new duties. He is to learn become an elder once he has come of age or when Boris is no longer to lead Blood Trillium. Also as an heir he must attend all competition and has to give out punishments for those who do not follow the rules.
It was tiring for Brooklyn from duties to being the popular vampire who is at a high rank.
At least the only place that he could be alone was in his room, and hunting after the sun sets and before the sun rises.
These thoughts of what happened was in his mind tonight at he went out hunting.
Going from roof to roof of Tokyo, he looks for the perfect prey to replenish his hunger.
It took a while till he found a teenage girl, who was waiting at the bus stop around one am in the morning.
Walking towards her, the girl looks up to see him, thinking he was handsome.
"Why is a beauty like you doing here, in the middle of the night?" Brooklyn asked her.
"Well, um…" she began responding, "I was on my way of meeting my boyfriend, yet I feel he's my ex after cheating me with a slut."
"You know, what if you were to get even with him, by cheating as well?"
She looked up to him, like if it was the craziest idea he had ever had. But it got her interested, because to her guess, this unknown, handsome guy might like her and want to cheat her boyfriend with him.
"Yes it could be interesting, but I don't have someone to cheat with. Unless, there is someone right now that I can cheat him with."
With that she eyed Brooklyn, her body language showing some flirting, signaling Brooklyn to say or do something on cue.
"Maybe I can be the honor in helping you out."
The teenage girl immediately stand up, as Brooklyn took her hand taking her to a place that to her that they would have a little passion moment, but for Brooklyn a place where he can drink the crimson liquid in secret.
He returns to his room, closing the paper door and heading to the futon to lie down and relax.
Staring at the ceiling he every wonder, about the many female preys that he fooled them in order to get their blood to drink. Thinking about what would happen if he were to be serious to liking a human, and a struggle to prevent himself from drinking their blood, and knowing of his secret. A thought, of him ever wonder if he were to fall in love to them.
Even if possible those girls weren't his type. To him they were egocentric, too girly, have a boyfriend, depends on other people to serve them, and to him, he must have been hunting a lot of girls who are sluts and thinks of sex.
Practically they would be the same like the female vampires at Blood Trillium.
He wasn't sure what type of girl he was interested. And he had a minute of thinking what type of girl he was interested in.
It was then that he thought he might like a girl who is independent, assertive of her beliefs and values, and maybe a girl who's into the arts, which it doesn't much matter what kind of arts she's into.
Having to think of that he then got the ideal of what kind of girl he was into.
Stretching his arms out, yawning as he was tired, he decides to call it a day.
Stripping down to his navy-blue boxers, he lifted up the blankets leaving it to cover him, he drift into slumber, resting till the sun would set.
Brooklyn's Dream
He was in the darkness. It was black, empty, he was alone.
Wondering in the darkness, he thought if there would be something to end this.
It took a while till he saw something lying on the floor. Taking a closer look it was a card, a tarot card. Yet it looks like the same kind of cards his parents would use to tell the past, present and future for the customers who come by.
Flipping the card over, since it was showing the back of it. With the picture in color and a few words printed in Spanish, since his mother and father were originally from Spain, and he was born in that country.
He understands it clearly knowing what the Spanish word is. Amor means love.
'Is this dream trying to tell me something,' Brooklyn thought.
Within a second the darkness that was once there faded away, bringing him in a beach at night.
The waves coming in were calm, making contact with the sand and retreating back into the waters.
It was then that Brooklyn notices a silhouette, standing and what seems to be staring at the waters.
The silhouette was a teenage girl, with waist-length hair, flowing gracefully against the wind.
Brooklyn wanted to see who she was, but her voice stop him.
"Don't go any closer," she said, "You'll see me soon, and the card that you hold is what you're future has written for you." With those words said, she faded off, as a ghost.
Brooklyn stare at the card that he held over the past minutes, noticing the card glowed before it too was vanished just like her.
Brooklyn looks around the area he was in, noticing Tokyo was a bit different than before.
'Is this Tokyo in the future?' he thought.
And with out warning, it was broken like glass and he was back into darkness…falling in an endless pit.
End of Dream
Brooklyn opens his eyes, waking up into reality.
'That dream…' he thought, 'It looks as if it was Tokyo in the future. Could it be true what she says? But who was she?'
Staring at the clock that he have got ever since some inventors made electric clocks, he saw it was 3:24 in the afternoon. It would be a few more hours till he goes out in the night.
It took a while for Brooklyn to feel calm enough to sleep, yet it bug him that vampires usually never dream, unless about their past life, and he had a dream that seem to be in the future. But how many years will it be to see that the future is real?
Putting that question aside in his mind, he closes his eyes, going back to sleep, hoping for a dreamless one.
2005 – 16 years later…
Opening his eyes, he wakens from his sleep and ready for another night as always.
Getting out of bed he opens the thick black curtains that cover the windows to see the view of the night. The night was beautiful as always even during the spring season.
He headed off to the drawers to get changed since he was wearing pants and no shirt. He manages to find what to wear for the night.
And today he was going to hunt, and explore the city.
It was the twenty-first century for everyone living in this planet, and many things have been changing so much. From amazing TV shows and movies, to the newest technology that the vampires in Blood Trillium, even Brooklyn are using, mainly cell phones. And there are many computers that take you in the internet all across the world.
Japan not only has change again, but this time creates so many kinds of technology that can be use in the near future from now.
Brooklyn getting ready, he headed to the door after getting his navy-blue and black cell from the bedside table near his futon.
Going out of Blood Trillium and staying out till the night ends.
He breathes in the air on top of the building, staring at the view of Tokyo at night time. The buildings' lights and streetlights lit up like many dazzling stars, but mainly he prefers the stars glittering at the night sky.
In his views it was amazing seeing Japan like this, and would have never known about it if he choose death at the time he was given the immortality. When looking at his life of a vampire and thinking of the good and bad sides of this, it was on the good side of being a vampire.
Staring at the view once more he notices the ocean at the distance. The water was dark and calm, from where he's at, which then remind him of the dream a while back.
Then a curiosity came to him. What if he would check to see if the dream can be true and he would be able to find someone who he'll love?
Well, one way for Brooklyn to know is to check it out.
So, Brooklyn disappears into the night, heading off to the beach.
It took a while for him to head to the beach, due to his stomach growling for blood, but at least it was off of his list of things to do for the night.
He stares off at the beach, seeing the waves come in. It was relaxing for him, but there was a reason to be here. He wanted to see if the dream was true, but like any other million dreams that people would have, it's not.
Staring at his right side, at a distance, he saw a bunch of teens, hanging around; maybe a party is going on. There were cars there, and a small bon fire was lit emitting warm light. Laughing, talking, and playing a game of beach volleyball, having fun on a Friday night in mid-May.
Brooklyn set his gaze back at ocean once more, before leaving the beach and heading back to Blood Trillium.
He turns his body to head back, until…
WHACK
Something have hit him on the head, it didn't hurt much but was surprise to unexpected that. Turning around he then notice a white ball on the sand in front of him.
Where in the heck did that come from?
On cue someone was heading toward him, running closer, till Brooklyn got a better view of the person.
A female, about 5'5" tall, and a lightly fair skin tone. Her dark-brown waist-length hair was flowing from her running, and no longer flowing as she was in front of Brooklyn.
"I am sorry about that," she spoke, "It was my fault, let's just say I hit a ball to hard while playing a game." She said this as she knelt down to pick up the ball, without looking at Brooklyn.
"It's no problem," Brooklyn said.
She got back up, to then look at Brooklyn, giving him a chance to see her eyes. And got lost in them for he have never seen someone with crystal-blue eyes dazzle as crystals, with some gray around the pupils.
It was the same situation for her seeing his eyes like the ocean in a sunny day.
An awkward silence fell upon them, a moment where they have thought to be the only ones in the world right now...
