Chapter1. Beginning

Upper west side, Manhattan NY- My name is Alister, am a vampire and I am 2, 658 years old even though I only look 18 years old. I was one of the very few vampires to be turned by an original vampire, they were known as the ancients. All of the ancients have been eradicated leaving us, their children behind. MY sire along with other ancients led a counter attack against the humans who hunted us. In one final battle they managed to defeat the humans, but at the cost were huge all of the ancients including my sire were lost. Soon after, the remaining vampires made the council, a group of vampires from around the world would act as the leaders of the vampire species, there were 7 vampires and those 7 were each given land and followers to rule over. The small group of humans who survived the war, the pure as they call themselves, continued hunting us as they grew and adapted to us, they became faster and stronger than normal humans.

During the dark ages I had enough of a corrupted council and evil humans so I went into a deep slumber, a hibernation, for hundred of years until I awoke in the 20th century. I awoke during the 1960's and everything I knew had changed; I traveled to the U.S. a country new to me, as I traveled around I drank blood from anyone I could, sleeping for hundreds of years can really make you thirsty. I lived and adapted to the new times, I partied with many famous people of the time, especially rock stars. Soon the years went by and 70's and 80's arrived then the 90's came and left and now I am here in the year 2013 still living like a true vampire. The new vampire has grown weak and pathetic; they are sensitive and care for how they appear to others and they hardly feed on humans now. I have watched the new generation of vampires and they disgust me. They have lost their blood lust over the years.

My oldest friend Michael, a vampire as old as me, invited me to his clan. He told me that the council has disbanded during my slumber and that the 7 vampires have started their own kingdoms, one of the vampires lives here in the U.S. and has claimed it as his vampire nation. Michael also tells me that the pure are still around and are now world wide, they also have a branch here in the U.S. Currently right now Michael and I are staying at the Dakota, an apartment complex at 1 W 72st near central park west. Our apartment is at the 7th floor, it has 3 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms, over the centuries Michael has a acquired a fortune making him one of the richest vampires in the world so he takes care of the rent which is ok with me. Michael tells me that the Dakota has a French style of the 19th century or so Michael tells me, the best part is that we are next to central park and near time square so that at night I can just go out and catch a bite to eat, well drink.

"Hey so are you going out with me again or what?" asked Michael, Michael is younger by a decade, but he is taller by an inch, I'm 5 11 and he as you can guess is 5'12, we both have slim figures but don't be fooled we have vampire strength. Both of us have brown hair but mine is darker and his is lighter and our eyes like all vampire eyes are light cerulean blue.

"Yeah hold on let me put on some jeans." I said

"All right just hurry up though, I don't want to be late." Michael said

'We're vampires we are never late." I said

Tonight we are going to meet our dates, two mortal girls we met the other night, we're going to drink their blood as if you didn't know. Vampire fangs will appear at will after you learn how to control them, when we impale a mortal's neck or wrist our fangs will subside as if they were never there, then the blood begins to flow into our mouth. Our saliva has both tranquilizer and healing factors so that the mortal wont feel pain and after the bite won't get infected and will begin to heal. Once I was ready, we left to meet our snacks, I mean dates.

Brooklyn NY- My name is Leia Isabella Black. My parents are vampire hunters; we call ourselves the pure I didn't choose the name. I am 18 years old and I have been hunting since the age of 13. I don't go to school like normal teenagers, I never had a boyfriend, and for sure I never kissed one. I don't really exist in the real world, I am a shadow like my family, and we stay in the dark searching and killing vampires. My ancestors killed vampires, I kill vampires and my children will kill vampire that is the fate of my family and others like us. Right now we are on the trail of a vampire we are hoping that he will take us to his clan, so you know we could kill them. My dark brown hair was pulled in a ponytail that reached my mid-back, my amber eyes shimmered with anticipation. I sat, perched on a building ledge, with my brother Sam and Dean. They had their guns and stakes while I had a cross bow, some throwing and hunting knives, I also have a small glock tucked into my left boot. I messed with my amulet, it had been given to me by my mother, it is suppose to protect me from danger, it sort of repeals vampires. My quiver was neatly strapped to my back, my brothers like always were whispering leaving me out.

"That's really irritating you know, leaving me out of the conversation." I said my loose strands of hair fluttered in the wind high above the building

"You're not old enough, this is big kid stuff." Dean says

"Aw shut the hell up, you said that last year." I said

Dean frowns and playfully says "Language, little sis."

"Screw language." I say, Sam laughs

I wonder what they were talking about, just then Dean gives the signal that it is go time. I spot the vampire first and I quickly go after it, it serves them right for leaving me out. I jump from roof top to roof top like a super hero in a comic book, I manage to catch up to the blood sucker I cornered it on a alley I take out a hunting knife and I get ready for the kill. Just then more vampires show up, they block out the exit, they have me completely surrounded.

"Shit it's a bloody trap." I said the vampire I was chasing laughs and bares his fangs, its 6 to one I do not like the odds of this
