Prologue

"How are we going to pull this off?"

The second person looked into the glass at the first person, who was far away at the moment.

"You just get your person. Let me get mine." the second person said.

"But how am I supposed to know if someone is a vampire?"

"Figure it out. I don't have these answers. But we don't have time to waste talking about it. We need a vampire within the next few days."

The image disappeared and the two people contnued their search.


Chapter 1

Neshae walked along the street of the human village. A thick fog hung in the night air, making the distant lanturns seem more like random blobs of light. On a night like this, there would be only one place in the village where Neshae could get a good meal.

He couldn't do this often, for the bar keeper at the tavern would recognize him. And they had corssed paths. Another crossing would not be a friendly one.

He approached the tavern. He had to do this just right. The tavern was a large building with a bar and then a hallway leading to a few rooms that could be rented for a night. Judging my the sounds, the tavern was full of humans tonight.

Neshae walked in and immediately made a right turn into a corner where the bar keeper was less likely to see him. There he sat at a table and watched the humans.

A girl and a guy stood up from the bar and stumbled drunkly into the hallway. They must have been staying in a room for the night. Neshae smiled and followed them.

In the corner of his eye, Neshae saw someone watchin him. He siged. The more people recognized him, the harder it would be to get a meal unnoticed. He would have to change direction and attack the one watching him.

He turned his head in the direction, expecting the human to turn away, but he didn't.

Neshae approached the man. The man smiled.

"I was wondering if you'd ever notice me." the man said.

Neshae started to speak, but the man cut him off. "Don't say anything. Just tell me, are you a vampire?"

Neshae's hand instinctively went the the hild of his sword. If the man was a vampire hunter, then changes were he'd need it. His mind went back to the night he kiled the vampire hunter, Moajei. Had this man found out it was him?

"Why do you want to know?" he asked.

"Why I want to know is none of your concern. Just answer the question."

"And if I don't?" Neshae asked.

The man sighed and stood up. "Follow me."

He didn't wait for Neshae to answer, but went into the hallway to the rooms. His hand still on his sword, Neshae followed.

The man stopped and turned around. "I have been sent to find a vampire. It is the only creature capable of defeating the evil upon the land."

"Wait a minute." Neshae held up and hand to stop him. "You're telling me that you want me to save the world?"

"If you are a vampire." the man said.

"I guess I could fit it into my schedule. Neshae said. "What's your name?"

"Seiane." He suddenly grabbed Neshae and flung him against a wall. He was strong for a human.

But he wasn't strong enough. Neshae recovered and flung him on the floor, then leapt for his neck.

Seiane drew a sword and held it out, forcing Neshae to open his wings and come to a sudden stop. If he had kept going he would have stabbed himsef on the sword.

"What's going on?" he asked, his fangs coming out defensively.

Seiane smiled. His eyes turned red and he sprouted some fangs of his own. Claws sprouted on his fingers an his skin almost seemed to turn to scales...almost.

Neshae drew his sword and summoned the blade of inferno within. "What the hell are you?"

Seiane did not answer, but instead, attacked Neshae with his sword. Neshae found himself desperately blocking rapid attacks instead of making his own. THis guy had strength and speed lke a vampire.

One final blow pinned Neshae's sword to the wall, pinning his hand right along with it. Seiane drew a knife and took a stab at Neshae's heart.

Blades clashed as someone weilding a sword made of ruby stepped between Neshae and the striking knife. Red hair fell down her back. She turned her head to look at Neshae.

"A limbless vampire." she observed. "There's something I haven't seen before."

Seiane drew back for a moment, then began chanting something.

"Time to go!" the woman said. She took Neshae by the hand and pulled him further down the hallway. When they came to the far wall she held her hand out and chanted something.

The rocks that made up the wall shifted and somewhat vanished until the hole was big enough for them to run through. When they were outside, the wall closed back up.

"I'm only gonna ask this once so listen up." Neshae said. "And so help me, if I don't get a straight answer out of someone, I'm gonna start biting people. What is going on?"

"Follow me and I will answer all your questions." the woman said.

"No. Last time I followed someone, I damn near got killed! Not give me some answers before I suck you dry and leave your body for Mutant Boy back there!"

She got closer to him. Neshae held his sword ready, but did not summon the blade yet.

"I could easily have left you to be killed by 'Mutant Boy', but I didn't. Now come on. We have questions to answer."

Okay. Neshae thought as she walked through an alley. I'm definately biting her when this is over.
