Chapter 2

Kay woke up early the next evening, the sun still hanging lowly in the sky. She felt an unlimited power flowing through her body. She could perfectly even though the room was pitch black.

"I thought you'd never awaken," Aubrey said lighting a lighter and pulling up to his unlit cigarette.

Kay backed away from him, "What did you do to me?" she asked as she grasped onto the jagged, stone wall.

"You should be thanking me," Aubrey said taking in a puff of his cigarette.

"Why should I do that? You killed me!"

"No, I gave you life," he said flicking the ashes off of his cigarette and pulling it to his lips again, "You are now an immortal. A child of the night. A vampire." He drew his lips up into a twisted smile.

"I hate you for this!" Kay said flaring her rage at him. She sensed her mental powers. She picked up a chair in the corner of the room and shattered it. She moved a sharp piece of it at Aubrey's heart, "Now, I'll kill you!"

Aubrey grabbed the shard and crushed it in his hand, "The whole stake thing is a total myth, Kay, darling, just like the thing with garlic, reflections and sunlight. We can go out in the day, just like any mortal, but most vampires prefer to hunt at night. It gives it more of an edge. Kay, that name is so plain. You need a new one with more flare." Kay growled at him. "How about," he took a minute to think, "What do you feel about Avelon?"

"I hate it!" Kay spat at him.

"Well, it shall be your new name!" Aubrey smirked, "I'm your father an I will name you."

"You are not my father! My father is--" Kay searched her mind but couldn't remember anything before last night, "is..." She searched her mind again, but found nothing.

"Exactly. Your memory will return once you've fed. Come now, it's nearly hunting time," Aubrey said opening the chamber door with his mind, "follow me."

Chapter 3

Aubrey led Kay down a dark street, both looking for a victim to quench their undying thirst.

Aubrey quickly found a young virgin-looking girl for his first victim of the night.

Kay soon found her own, as well. He was a young Latin man, Kay led him to Aubrey's apartment and the two talked a while before Kay went in for the kill. He was strong, but not as strong as a vampire and Kay quickly drained all the blood from his body and left him to slowly die.

Kay was full and decided not to hunt anymore this night. Aubrey returned to the house shortly after noon the next morning, blood stained on his lips and on his clothes.

"I didn't see you after you got your first meal, Avaelon," Aubrey said fingering his dagger.

"I was full and needed no other food last night, so I just stayed in for the remainder of the night," Kay answered eyeing Aubrey carefully, "And my name is not Avaelon, it is Kay Bennett."

"A vampire cannot survive on one meal a night," Aubrey said putting away his dagger and walking towards Kay he raised his hand and brought it down on Kay's cheek, sending her flying backwards, "Your name is Avaelon."

Kay got up and steadied herself against the wall, "Fine. My name is Avaelon."

"Yes, it is," Aubrey walked over to Kay and rubbed her shoulder, "Now, it's time for us to go to bed."

Kay followed after Aubrey into the large bedroom. Kay felt something towards Aubrey that she had only felt about one other person, but she couldn't remeber who it was.

That night, Aubrey and Kay awoke hungry again. They went down the same paths again, both finding different victims and both killing their victims and drinking their blood.

Visions flooded Kay's mind as she fed off of her victim. Visions of her former self. Visions of a young man. Names, places and dates slowly came into her mind, one by one. Kay found herself drawn to a small town called Hrmony.

The next evening before Aubrey awoke, Kay wrote him a letter telling him she was going out hunting early and she left for Harmony.
