Damien met Azeneth over 500 years ago while saving her from a massacre. After turning her into a vampire to save her life, Azeneth travels half way across the country to escape him. He's a living nightmare, he's a walking dead man, and she hates him for what he's done. Five hundred years can change a person, or so they say. Azeneth, who now goes by the name of Anne, has moved to America and lives out her days feeding on the innocent and lonely. She hates what she has become and searches for some kind of cure, but no matter how good the blood tastes it can't be right. It can't be natural, and she is determined to find her way out. Damien, who has been following Anne over the centuries lives in the shadows. New technology allows them to walk in the sun with protective suits, and Damien desires to prove to Anne that he was once human just like her. When the two finally meet up they have the chance to confront each other with their desire for revenge and truth. "You said you wanted a way out," Damien said. "How sweet of you to remember and then kill the only chance I had," Anne replied bitterly, looking at the dead body on the floor. That had been her only way out, the cure to vampirism, and Damien once again killed it... just as he had killed her.
