A Vampire's Kiss

Chapter 1

  I am only 5 years old, and I find myself all alone. I find myself wondering in what looks like an abandon town. Where am I? How did I get here? For some reason, I have no memory of how I got here, or who I am for that matter. Where's my family? Do I even have one? Have I always been alone? As I run these questions in my head, I trip from a pit hole in the middle of the road. "Ouchy..." I look at my knee, it's bleeding. All I feel like doing right now is to just cry. It's not because my knee hurts, but because I am alone, scared, and there is no place I can go to.

"Hello, little girl..." I look up to see a woman, she gives off this feeling as if there is something bad about her. The woman seems to smell the air, "Your blood smells quite..." The women closes her eyes and licks her lips, "...Delicious." She opens eyes, they glow a blood red, and I see her fangs as she comes closer to me. I try my best to get away, but instead I just fall back down.

I hope the family I might have won't miss me too much. Though, I don't even think they'd care. All of a sudden a shadow-like figure jumps right in front of me, killing the vampire who is...or was going to devour me. Dust particles replaced the woman, and it fell onto the figures feet. I don't know if I am supposed to be scared or pleased to see the shadow. I get my answer when the figure speaks.

"Are you okay..?" it sounds like a young boy. His voice is so calming. He turns in my direction, "She didn't hurt you, did she?" He bends down to me. This man, he seems so warming. The moonlight shines on him. He has black hair, dark blue eyes and that smile, I might never forget that tender smile. His mouth is open just barely but just open enough that I can see his fangs, He's a vampire? Why did he save me then? Is he going to hurt me like that woman was about to? I reach for his mouth. He opens his mouth allowing me to touch his fangs, but he doesn't bite down. He just stays still, not making a move. He isn't going to hurt me?

I move my hand back, "Are you going to hurt me?" I ask him, I am kind of scared of what he would say.

He puts his hand on my cheek, "I could never hurt you." He wraps his arms around me. My head lays on his chest to where I can hear his heartbeat. It is so calming. I feel a scene of security. "I'll take you somewhere safe, and don't worry, I will protect you from the things that want to hurt you."

Those words soothe me. I soon fall asleep on his chest.

All of a sudden I wake up. I set up from my bed and I smile with joy in my heart, "I had that dream again." That happened 12 years ago. That vampire took me to a man who was once a vampire hunter, but is now this vampire ambassador. This man, or I should say 'dad' had adopted me and had raised me ever since the incident, and for that I'm eternally grateful. I hear someone banging on the front door, I gasp, "Could it be?" I jump out of my bed. Sliding on my slippers on, I run out of my room. I hit into the hallway wall, but I still tumble my way into the living room, "Dad, Dad! He's here!" Dad chuckles at me as he opens the front door and there he is, the vampire who saved me years ago. He smiles at me with that smile from that first day.

"Hello, Amb..." I interrupt him by hugging him in a tight embrace. Hearing his heartbeat again fills me with joy. He wraps his arms around me.

"Takeshi! I missed you so much!" I cry out. I hold on to him tightly. I feel the warmth coming from his body.

He laughs, "But I only left for a week..." I look at him, he is laughing so hard that tears were forming in his eyes.

"I don't care... That's the longest we been apart!" I laugh.

He chuckles, "Well...True" He kisses the top of my head.
