My Crimson Love

The beginning.

  Intro

My name is Rob. I am a vampire. Don't put the put the book down thinking this will be your typical teen love story. First lets get a few things strait. As vampires we do not sparkle in the sun, nor can we even be out during the day. If the sun touches our skin we will burn. We do have inhuman strength and speed. Our strength is affected by our age, meaning we get stronger as we get older, but is not entirely based upon age. If two vampires are 300 years old one will still be stronger than the other that depends upon their size, training, and the last time they fed. There are two types of vampires in this world. Half-breed and pure-breed. A half-breed such as my self is made by bleeding a human entirely and then giving them your blood. We can only be made by pure-breeds. On the other hand pure-breeds are made the same way humans are created. Oh yeah, pure-breeds are stronger than half-breeds usually. I would like to think that I am the exception. The only vampire who has ever bested me in hand to hand combat is my maker.

Chapter 1

As I said before I am a vampire and I am a half-breed. What I did not mention is that I am 500 years old. I am big, real big. I stand 6 foot 9 inches. I am 250 pounds and I am muscular. For the past 350 years I have been a guard to the royal family. I was turned when I was only 22 years old. I was a wild vampire with no meaning to my life. All I did was run around killing, feeding, and doing pretty much what ever I felt the need to do. I had no idea who my maker was for quite sometime. On my 90th year as a vampire I was found by an even older vampire his name was Henry he was a pure-breed. He claimed to know my maker. I was not sure whether or not to trust him, but I really had no choice. So I followed him half way around the world. He taught me much. How to fight other vampires, how to stop vampire hunters from getting the upper hand on me, and most of all taught me to give my new life meaning. He introduced me to the vampire royal family. Turns out he was my maker. Should have seen that one coming. He was the current Queens most trusted guard and was sent on a mission to find her daughter a guard just as loyal. He made me almost 145 years ago now and remembered my size. Knowing that I was a big guy I would eventually become extremely strong. Who better to protect the princess? No one.

It is the year 2020, which is not that much different than the year 2015. That is where my Queen, Queen Lexi, comes in. Right now she is the princess. I have been with her for 350 years now at first training with Henry more to learn what was necessary to protect my Princess. After a 100 years of training with Henry I began to train with Lexi. We continued along that path for close to 50 years before beginning to train together rather than one another. We need to know how each other would react in a fight, so that if we ever ran into trouble I would be able to protect her no matter what. It has now been 500 years since my making and I am one of the elders. Still Lexi's own personal protector though. Lexi's mother has decided to step down as Queen and make her Queen. This is a very lengthy process, but it is also beautiful.

Chapter 2

Lexi and I are in her bed room preparing for the ceremonies. She is dressed in the same dress her mother had when she went from Princess to Queen. Lexi is wearing jewels that have been in her family for thousands of years. Just like her mother Lexi is breathtakingly beautiful. Lexi seems kind of nervous about today, but mostly annoyed. You see she is a very impatient person and she knows how long this process usually takes.

“Lexi?” I say. “How are you feeling?”

“I just want this damn thing to be over with already.” Lexi says to me sighing impatiently.
