1 Chapter 0 - prologue

"Immortality is no blessing. It is the most cruel thing granted to somebody."

< -Somewhere in the Empire of Lerolan- >

"Hey! Come back!" he whispered angry, trying to conceal his voice from the guards.

"Catch me if you can!" I answered, laughing. The anger, clearly shown on his face, changed into desperation.

"Please!" His plead shook my composure but my face did not reveal my true feelings. Should I listen or should I abandon him. If I listened, I would have to stay, maybe again for many years. But the fact, that he didn't raised his voice to expose my escape, remained in my head. If he had called for them, I would've been caught or hunted.

I pondered a moment longer, then I went back. His eyes were wide open. In the dim moonlight, his dark eyes were almost black and his slender figure looked alluring. If I had been younger, maybe I would've spent a night with him. But compared to me he was still a child. Maybe a child who tried to grow facial hair but still a young boy.

"But only because you pleaded so nicely." I poured with a seducing voice and saw him swallow hard.

My, what an easy child. I smiled and exposed my fangs beautifully. I saw him blush a little. How adorable.

"Now, lead me back." I said, while my fingers stroked first his arm, then wandered to his shoulder and finally to his neck. He shivered as my fingernails scrated carefully on his skin. They were truthfully claws which could kill him in a second.

"Hurry!" My voice became impationed. He blinked, as if he awoke off a dream and then started to walk in the direction of which we came: To my prison.
