~The Cursed One~

Part 1

...The Cursed One...

As the young man traveled the quiet streets, he started to feel a presence.. and it was definitely not a good one..

*2 DAYS AGO*

?????:
Sir, are you sure it will be okay to go alone? This is my first mission alone..

The man with dark skin spoke... He had beautiful blue eyes, that some said they looked like galaxies if you looked deep enough into them. His hair was messy and long, but had a black tint.. He was wearing a white button up, and above that was a vest.. assigned to all of the peacekeepers of their realm.

His name.. Was Xavier Smith.. and he was just being trained to becoming a real peacekeeper. But, his captain thought that he should try to challenge his worth. By giving him a mission to complete.. on his own.

Normally, students in training like Xavier don't get to go on missions alone. Unless their Captain allows them to.. which if they fail or not. Their mission alone, proves if they should become a peacekeeper.

?????:
Yes, Xavier... I know you're ready for what lies ahead.. You're one of my best students I've ever trained in my 45 years, but I need to let the bird fly the nest.

That was Xavier's Captain.. Captain Garcia.. A strong, and very respected Captain. She used to be the face of the peacekeepers.. And she is very famous for one reason.. She was able to track down the vampires..

The vampires... now this world isn't like any other.. this is a magical world.. with fairies, elves, and.. vampires.. Though the humans never fought with the other magical beings.. They actually were friends! But... it was not the same with the vampires..

They never listened to anybody, and always was rude to everyone.. Especially, the humans.. soon a war broke out, between humans and vampires. The humans, of course.. were victorious.. and vampires went into hiding.

For so many years, vampires have been stirring trouble around.. and when they went into hiding, everything was now back to normal.. no more vampires, meant no more trouble.. but..

Captain Garcia:
There's been rumors.. Xavier... of a very powerful vampire.. who we think might be plotting against us.. Vampire crimes have gone way up since December.. and this powerful vampire is definitely a threat. So... Your mission is to track down, and bring the vampire back to us.

Xavier:
Captain Garcia, I couldn't be thankful enough for going on my mission alone to prove my worth.. but.. don't you think it will be too much for me to handle?..

Captain Garcia:
I wouldn't have chosen you if you weren't ready for it Xavier... I believe in you.. you ride at dawn, and your horse will be ready for you. So go pack your things.. we've also left you a map, with directions to the vampire's hiding place.

Xavier:
Thank you Captain Garcia, I won't let you down!..

Xavier then walks out of the room, with some doubts.. but with renewed confidence.. He then went into his room.. it was very small, but that's where peacekeepers in training were supposed to live.. Xavier started to pack his bags.. and then he went to sleep.

*In The Morning*

Xavier woke up.. even though it was morning, the sun didn't rise just yet.. He then changed into his uniform. A very long black coat, with a dark blue suit vest.. and a white button up underneath.. He had a belt, with a pocket knife and a rope attached to it..

He grabbed his bag and went to the stable, he went over to his horse.. Jillian. He got on her, and smiled.. as the sun rose... He adventured off into the sun.. With a mission to complete.. As he traveled.. he got closer to the vampire.. but he soon got lost... and the forces of nature were not on his side..

The sky got darker.. and it started to pour.. though the terrain was rough and hard. But that never stopped him.. but then.. something happened.. the rain poured too hard... his horse slipped and he fell off..

Xavier:
G-GAH!

Jillian had ran off, and he couldn't do anything.. his ankle was sprained from the sudden force.. and he hit his head too hard.. as he laid on the path, he started to slowly black out.. before seeing a shadowy figure walking up to him..

.......

He then woke up.. in a room, but not a familiar one.. The walls were dark red, and the wooden floor was very clean.. Xavier smelled the smell of fresh bread baking.. and he heard footsteps.. He instantly rushed out of the bed and grabbed his pocket knife from his belt.

The footsteps stopped right in front of the door.. and the door slowly creaked open.. two big dark red eyes looked at Xavier.. their eyes were like fire, and passion.. such beautiful eyes..

A guy walked in.. he had brown hair and tanned skin.. his hair was in a pony tail.. as he had a red lacey tunic.. with a white shirt underneath, and black pants. He had a red flower crown around his head.

????:
Oh, you're awake!

Xavier:
Who are you?!

Xavier growled

????:
Don't worry! I'm not a threat.. my name is Matthew! I saved you from the storm... Or well... I took care of you.. Somebody else saved you..

Xavier:
O-Oh.. sorry for my rude behavior.. I am Xavier... but.. if you did not save me.. W-who did?...

Matthew:
A friend of mine... she has brown hair, half of it was braided back.. she had pale skin.. her face is covered though.. she had the most prettiest dress though! I wish I had a dress like that!

Xavier: *Smiling*
Oh, I must thank this lady! Do you know where she went?

Matthew:
Yes! I do know.. but I have to escort you myself.. because you will get lost..
