"Oh, inhabitants of the new land! Humankind and Vampires! Heed my words. Every millennia when that monster is to be born again, t shall be killed instantly. Only then, thou shalt be out of harm's way. Only then, thou will not share our tragic fate. " *** People say, that was the warning the vampire woman who once saved the world had left to the people of the new land. A warning that was respected all these previous millenniums by the ruling families... But what if this millennium's newborn monster was never sacrificed? What if that monster was still alive, lurking between us all these years? What if the world only has fewer months to kill it before Hell opens its door on this land once again? What if that monster was... ME?!

Every year, my town chooses a sacrifice for the demon that "watches over" our home. In exchange for a person from the village between the ages of 17 to 25, the demon protects our village. And because of that pact, our village is protected for the next year, under the demon's watchful eyes. No one knows what happens to those who the demon chooses, but there's a lot of theories about it. One is that the demon eats or absorbs those who are chosen - another, that it kills them. But this year, I'm the one who's chosen. I get to meet the demon I've feared since I was a child, and now that I'm 24, and am considered an adult, I could have left the village behind. But I didn't. Something inside me told me to stay. Now, I'm going to die. I just know it. I can't leave now, or run away, because the town would be unprotected for a whole year, and that's where my family lives. I don't know what to do, but I'm sure I'll think of something. Besides, how bad can this demon be if they're guarding our town?
