Well I bet you’re wondering what I’m doing sat on top of this building in a busy city in the dead of night. Well for you to understand this I’m going to tell you a little story for you so you may understand how it is that I came to this point in my life.
You see three years ago I was moving from place to place just trying to get by on my own. I was bitten and changed into a vampire at the age of 23 and was left without a master or any friends, I left alone to endure the change alone.
Not knowing what was happening to me. I went from town to town city to city. Until one day a handsome stranger came into my life, not knowing that this god like stranger was sent by the council to kill me. But soon he came to realise that I hadn’t committed the crime that the council had accused me of.
This stranger helped me taught me how to fight how to run and how to survive is name is hemlock AKA the Accountant, a master vampire and assassin for the council, until he turned his back on the council. But the council wasn’t happy with this so sent other vampire and assassins to do their dirty work.
They sent more and more until one night I decided that there was only one thing left that I could do, it was my fault they were coming after him. So I gave up the one thing I valued the most, my lover, my best friend and my mentor. He vowed to never give up looking for me. Well that was the word on the streets. It would never happen unless we was both safe.
He thought he was hot on my tail but in truth I was but a step behind him at all times. Taking out, anyone who would dare threaten his safety and that’s how I came to be on this roof top watching a vampire walk down a dark alley looking for a door that’s not there. Due to a bit of miss-information thanks to my careful planning and preparation.
Ari and Soren's adventures continue as Soren struggles with his new vampiric urges and a coven of witches attempts to recruit Ari for their own ends.
