1 Chapter One

Year 1918

Ruby pov.

It was a cold night in the middle of May in Chicago, illinois and I can't take it anymore. Walking alone, nothing to eat I'm starving. Nothing on me but the clothes on my back when i was getting kicked out of my home. My parents kicked me out because I didn't want to marry the man they wanted me to. He was in an wealthy family and i was in an so what average family. since i'm the only child they wanted tp marry me off to someone i don't even know. which is so unfair. I begin to get tired so I lean on a building. Taking deep breaths I begin to close my eyes.

CRACK

I heard something, i quickly stood up straight that i cut my hand on the building, i looked around holding my now injured hand

'Huh ?what was that' i thought

"Hello?" I said

Nothing. weird i know i heard something.

"Is someone there? I asked little louder

Still nothing

I began walking again. I needed somewhere to sleep but where? I can't sleep on the cold cement because it won't keep me warm at night.

CRACK

There's that sound again. I turn my head again only to bump into something or someone

"S...sorry I did- I stopped mid sentence looking up to see a 6'2 man with black eyes..... Wait, they're completely black and they have pale skin. He looked at my hand that I forgot I had cut on one of the brick walls on one of the buildings. He looked at it like he was going to eat me as his meal. So I slowly backed away from him, still apologizing to him. As I began to walk away I began to walk a bit faster. I turned around to see if he was still there but he wasn't. I let out a soft breath that I didn't know I was holding. Slowly beginning to walk a little slower. I saw an alley where I could sleep tonight. When I turned into the alley there I saw the same man from before. Before I was able to run he caught me and held me with strength that I couldn't break free. I felt him lick my neck, when he did that my whole body shivered.

"P-p-please let me go" I beg while tears was coming down my face

He didn't say a thing for a minute but when he did my blood ran cold

"I'm so sorry" he said

Before I could ask why he bit my neck. I screamed but he covered my mouth with his hands. My screams were muffled. I slowly lose my consciousness when he stops. My eyes are heavy and I look up to the man. He was just standing there looking at me for a minute. He slowly picked me up bridal style. Before I completely passed out when we exited the alley I saw his face clearly. His eyes weren't black anymore they were gold and he had black hair. He looked to be 6 years older than me, maybe in his early 20s. He looked down at me with guilt filled eyes. He was saying something but I couldn't hear him as I lost my consciousness.

Lucian Pov.

I was just coming for my job as a doctor. My coat was warming me like I could feel it though. I was walking when I saw a girl still in her teens. She doesn't have a coat on why she is even out here and in this weather. I saw her lean on a building and she looked as if she was tired. I slowly walked to her but stepped on broken glass making noise. I was startled that I hid when she turned around.

"Hello?" she said but I said nothing

"Is someone there?" she asked but i said nothing again

I started to leave her alone but I smelt something that I don't have complete control over. I turned around and started following her as I was getting closer. I stepped on something but I didn't care. As I was in a trance by her blood, as she turned around she bumped into me, only for me to stare at her.

"S...sorry I did- she stopped mid sentence when she looked at me. I have a feeling that my eyes are black by the way her eyes became wide. I saw that her hand was cut so that's where the smell is. She slowly backed away from me and apologized to me while turning around. I saw that she started to walk faster. I hid behind a building so she wouldn't see me. When I thought the coast was clear I began following again and she started walking into an alley where I quickly and quietly passed her. She saw me and was beginning to run away but I grabbed her and put my head between her head and shoulder. I'm trying to resist from biting her but I can't.

"P-p-please let me go." she said and by the way she said that I can tell she's crying but I'm trying but I can't resist anymore

"I'm so sorry." I said before she could say anything further I bit into her neck her blood was intoxicating I couldn't stop. I began to feel her lose consciousness so I stopped. She dropped to the ground and I just looked at her.

'What have I done' I thought

'What am I going to do? I have no choice but to bring her with me' I thought I slowly picked her bridal style and began to walk to my apartment trying to figure out what to do next. I looked down at her with guilt in my eyes.

" How could I have done this to someone innocent?" I asked myself. I can't believe I let my hunger get the best of me. As when I made it to my place I unlocked the door, walked into my room and placed her on the bed. I know that when she wakes she will be something I don't wish on anyone else.
