Story Of Love: Larten X Darren

Chapter 1: Meeting Darren

Ahhh, Cirque du Freak, a wonderfull place to be. Larten waited patiently for his turn to preform. He could hear the audience scream and wimper. Well it was his turn, after Mr.Tall introduced him. Larten walked onto the stage of the old abandon theater, and looked around at the audience. He soon spoted the only two childeren.
That aroused his curiosity, why would Mr.Tall let childeren in? What facinates him, is that Tall allowed a rule to be bent?

Larten finished his act when madem octa spun a web over his mouth. He looked over to the only children, and saw an amazed look on one of the two, and on the other complete shock, as if he reconized him. Larten put madem octa back into her cage, and rushed off the stage. From the back stage he watched as the finnal act was done, to hear one last scream from the audience.

Larten was finishing up his chores, when one of the two children walked up. "What do you want young one, it is not safe here." Larten said, as the child stopped. "I know what you are." The child said cold and harsh. Larten glared at him with disbelief. "And I want you to make me vampire." The child yelled, as he stared coldly at Larten.

Larten heard a small gasp, and he quickly spotted the other child up on the old balconey. Larten then looked at the other child. "First I must test your blood." Larten said as he walked towards the child. Suprizingly, the child just stood his ground, and the other watched in horror. Larten cut a slit on his neck, and covered it with his mouth. When he started to suck, he quickly pushed away. "Your blood is evil!!" Larten screamed.

Larten heard a wimper and a creak up in the balconey, and saw the poor child run. Larten yelled at the other "leave now, young one, or be ruined for your life!". The child just growled and ran out the door. Once he was gone, Larten thought things over and what would happen. He sighed and went down to the chambers, layed in his coffin, closed his eyes, and got some rest.

The next evening Larten awoken and went to Mr.Talls van. There he knocked on the door, and was greeted by the large, warm smiling face of Mr.Tall. "Hello Larten, what brings you here?". Larten laughed and said hello to his old friend. "You know, Ive been thinking about last night, why were there two children at last nights performance?" Larten asked quietly. Mr.Tall just stared, he finnaly answerd "We can not always chose the ay things go, not even me. I did allow them in, because it was part of their destiny. That is all I can say, and I am sorry for that Larten." Larten thanked him for his time, and went to his coffin.

Larten was awoken in the middle of the night by footsteps, and listened carfuly. He heard wispers and wimpers, but it seemed as if this one is alone. Larten stayed in his coffin, and waited till the sounds were out of earshot. He stepped out and saw a note on his coffin.

"I have your spider, and I know who and what you are. If you come looking for me, I will tell every one that you are here. Dont come looking for me, and your secret will be safe.
-Darren Shan"
Larten smiled and looked where he placed his spider. He walked out to find the one named "Darren Shan", and to keep watch over his presious madem octa.
