Kylo Ren had been turned centuries ago, by the king of all vampyrs, Snoke. Darkness took him and shaped him into a creature of the night. A cruel and violent beast, seeking mortal blood and walking this earth for all eternity.

However, no matter how hard he tried, he never managed to be what his master wanted him to be. He killed and drank for humans, but not for the good reasons.

He had loved once, once and for all. It had both saved and destroyed him. She came and went like the wind but he never managed to forget her. When he slept, memories of his love flooded his mind. The rapture. The longing. The desire. The thirst. Those tremors, unnoticed to others, that shook him to the bone each time she passed by. The feel of her skin against his own, like warm silk under his fingers. The way she would kiss his name on his lips when he held her at night. The way she would giggle and roll in the sheets when he tickled her in the earliest hours of the day. The unnerving vapors of her jasmine perfume, mingled with the smell of her blood on her neck when he drank from her. Sometimes, in the darkest of the night, he would still taste her, on the tip of his tongue and on the back of his throat. The ghost of her made his head spin and his body hurt, and to ease his pain, he sacrificed preys on the alter of love.

He killed them because she was nowhere to be seen. He bit and torn their flesh, because he couldn't kiss and caress her own. He hated them all, because they weren't her and they would never be. He slaughtered them because they were alive, and she wasn't.

Kylo Ren wandered for centuries, murdering his victims with the same passion he once made love to her with. Love made an angel out of a monster, but when she was ripped away, pain consumed and tainted his heart, until he had no heart at all. One that didn't beat in his stony chest and that couldn't be moved by anything appart from the sight of blood. He watched life drain out of their pleading eyes, enjoyed their screams in the cold and silent night, and the sound they made when they suffocated and died was music to his ears.

It seemed like he endlessly tried to kill himself through those humans, to extinguish the flame that still burnt, dimly, painfully, in the darkness of his soul. Each time they grew limp and cold, a little bit of the humanity she had left in him, died too.

He drank and he drank, until it filled him with a false sense of fullness. Satiated, until hunger and thirst burnt his stomach and his throat. He drank and he drank, to feel the way love used to make him feel. Whole and complete, until he felt hollow again.

Centuries after centuries, he travelled everywhere, leaving a trail of blood behind him in every city of the world. Kylo Ren was soon known in the hidden world for his insatiable appetite, so much so that even the vampires themselves feared him. They told tales of his violence and power to each other, and soon he became a true legend. A few lucky ones had seen him in the throne room, kneeling in front of his master, but for the others, he remained a faceless creature that, on occasion, even drank from his own kind.

Alone. That's what he was doomed to be. That's what his master wanted him to be.


Once a week, Kylo was summoned to the Dark Empire's quarters, underground. What should've been the parking of a five stars hotel, was actually a vast red room, only known to those who mingled with the darkest of all. Ground - 4 of New York's King Palace hotel was hell for mortals.

Silhouettes moved in the red light to the sound of music. They all had blood dripping down their faces and half-naked bodies. They kissed and fucked everywhere. On the floor. On the red velvet sofas. On the bar. Slaves and masters. Bonded vampires. Each and every one of them, moved to the rhythm of the music, under the red halo that cascaded down from the high ceilings.
