Forever

Prologue

Vladimir

   Some say that death is the worst thing that could happen to anybody. Well, in my case that is not true. I'm Vladimir Hellington, lord of vampires. I have lived over three centuries without my dear Elysabeth, my wife, my love. During the last year of my mortal life, my kingdom Vamlire was at war with Werevan. During the battle I was captured and taken captive for six months. After many escape attempts, I was finally able to make my way back to my dear Elysabeth. However when I returned home I got the shock of my mortal life. While I had been locked up in a dank, dirty cell, a Werevanian spy forged a note from my lieutenant saying I had been killed in battle, upon hearing the news she flung herself from the highest battlement. That was how I found her when I got home, all splayed out on the floor, blood splattered from the fall, the servants covering her corpse with a white linen. It was the single most agonizing thing I had ever experienced. That night I had planned to commit suicide out of heartbreak. I was ready to die the same way she did. 

   A disruption to my plan arrived in the form of my older brother who had supposedly died years ago. Right as I was about to jump he pulled me back and bit me, changing me into a vampire. When I awoke my brother told me of what happened and what he had done. I was furious. I wanted to join my love. Before I knew what I was doing I had killed him. After that happened and I came back to. Realizing what I had done, I fell on my knees and cried because I had killed my brother, my blood. I then made a promise to myself I would live on like my brother wanted, I would not let him die in vain. Since that day I have hidden the supernatural world from humans by enlisting a wiccan to make a realm for the supernatural with a few portals to the human world so no other unnecessary lives are taken. But recently my enemy, Alris Fenrir, king of Werevan has torn down that barrier to find the reincarnation of my mate to use her blood as a sacrifice that will allow him to turn humans into werewolves in the blink of an eye and conquer the empires of Wiclom, Faytom, The Shifting Wilds and Vamlire. After that, he will set his sights on the human realm known as Earth. I have been chosen by the other lords to stop him before it's too late.

   I sat in class listening to my teacher drone on about the fallen empires of the earth going on about each nation's mistakes that caused their downfall. Not that I hated history but Mrs. Folkmen tended to repeat the same lesson quite a few times before moving on. It was a wonder that we stayed with the other sophomore history classes. Mrs. Folkmen was a lady in her late thirties with a willowy figure with blue eyes behind ink-black wide-rim glasses, and chestnut hair. Her personality was okay if you got to know her.
   I looked out the window of the high school at the sunny day outside and for a moment wondered what it would be like to be free from my day-to-day existence in the mundane town of Centerburg, population 1,920. A place where everyone knew everyone since Diapers, And then there's me, the new girl who moved here a year ago with her dad after a tragic accident that killed her mom. I know though those reports are wrong, someone killed my mother and I will find out who did it even if it's the last thing I do.
