Prologue
There are many things on this planet that decide its destiny. They might be completely normal, perhaps not as normal as some people would think. Lots of people come to New York for many different reasons. You know … the obvious ones … like getting hitched, focusing on their careers, maybe even finding someone they care for.
My reason? Well, I was surprised there. I’m not like normal people of today are. I’m a creature of the night. Yes, you’ve guessed it correctly. I’m a vampire. Well, not exactly a pure vampire. There are two different types of vampire.
There’s the pure type where vampires kill people through biting them on the neck and drinking their blood. The pure vampires consider themselves to be superior when it’s the humans that have dominance over the world.
And now you have the unusual type of vampire – the impure vampire. You could say that these vampires are much clever than those pure vampires. This is who I am. But I was once a pure vampire myself a hundred years ago. Impure vampires turn away from their fate and try to isolate themselves from normal people. They find other blood to have other than human blood and in some cases, they can go insane.
Scary, isn’t it? Hmm … you don’t even know the half of it. New York City’s the next place where all the vampires and the demons can strike. I’m there right now. This whole thing started a few hundred years ago.

“You cannot leave me like this!” shouted Anna. She looked up angrily at her father and he just looked down at her with a glare in his eye. “This is not right, father! It was not my fault! I did not do it!” But still, her father just glared down at her. Anna picked up her things, shed a tear and then started walking away. “I have no one to care for such a gentle woman such as myself …”
Weeks passed and months passed. Anna was now working at a bar watching men get drunk every night. It wasn’t the best thing to do with her life, but it was the only thing she could do for now. Then came a fateful night, which changed her life forever. Anna was doing the usual thing with serving drinks to the men, but she could not help notice the man that kept eyeing her from the dark corner. She tried to avoid his gaze, but it seemed like lust.
“Marianne, would you mind if one could have a moment to herself?” asked Anna. Marianne smiled and nodded. “Of course, Anna,” she replied. “You work hard every single day and night. Why would I refuse this opportunity to you?”
Anna smiled weakly and this man began to approach her as she went outside. “You should not really be there working in such a dirty place,” said the man. Anna turned around. “Who are you?” she said. The man laughed. “You’ve never heard of me?” he said, looking into her eyes. “I’ve travelled the world, but I have never seen anyone such as pretty as you.”
“Thank you, noble sir,” said Anna, doing a courtesy. “Oh please …” said the man. “I beg of you … call me Lance and let us say that I could show you everything. I can show you the world and its riches.” “You could?” said Anna. She felt herself slowly falling in love with this man. “Please …” she whispered. “Show me it. Show me your world.”
Lance smiled and kept looking into her eyes. “Close your eyes, it will only hurt for a moment,” he said. Anna felt under his spell just by looking at his eyes. She did not want to initially close her eyes, but she did so. In the meantime, Lance had an evil smile on his face. Time to end this. He put his vamp face on just as Anna opened her eyes.
Anna looked at him in horror and became his next victim. He sunk his fangs into her neck and drunk her blood. Anna tried pushing him away, but she slowly died. She fell to the ground in a pool of blood. Lance looked satisfied. He licked his lip and put on his normal human face on again.
“It seems that I have a new companion,” he said as he picked Anna up and then headed towards a small barn on the outskirts of London. “She will willingly come to me for help when they find her dead.”
