✥Chapter 1: Prologue ✥

1705

The annual Harvest Moon ball was a huge party event for all of the citizens of Paris. Famous leaders from around the world and people went to this ball every year, during the full October moon. It was a fancy cheer and luck to the upcoming harvests around the world and a cheers to a plentiful beginning. 

This was the fifth annual ball and was held in the historic and significant House of France-at least that's what they called it. It was basically the grand castle of France, where King and Queen Li'anne (Lee-ahn-knee) reside. So far, this was the youngest royal couple of the royal family. 

The King was famously known for his green eyes, and brown hair, while the Queen was known for her grace and light voice. The huge ball consisted of:  a masquerade, everyone had to wear a mask; dancing, drinking the finest, eating the best food, and the long awaited 'Queen's Gown'. A week before the party, maidens from everywhere would sign their names on a sign-up sheet to be chosen as the winner of the event.

 It was more of like a fashion show- they would shop for the best gowns, even travel to Thailand for silk fabric for their custom made dresses to be the best of the best. Shoes, makeup, jewelry, hair- it all counted for the show. The winner has to be chosen by the prince himself - the winner would be given a prize of money, a bouquet of lovely roses, and a dance with the prince. But the contest would change depending on the gender of the soon to be leader- if there was a prince, it would be the girls who would be the participants; if there was a princess- the boys would be the sign-ups....but it was rare for it to be a princess. So there would usually be a handsome prince who would await to dance with a lovely lady. 

But somehow this one didn't go as planned. As this party went on, the Queen was dancing with a few others and made conversation with some. 

Her eyes were like the blue waters of an ocean, fair skin, brown-blonde hair styled into a tight curled bun with a curl flowing from the bottom, her face shown off her young age of barely 21. She danced like the ocean waves themselves as she fell into the arms of a charming guy. The Queen was known for her little flirts, but she was still loyal to her husband.  He was tall, slight built, dressed in black and white (that 1700 fashion yall idk what to call that-ER HAMILTON), and a mask of black to match. 

He was the only one in the building that had jet black hair, or was he? "Oh? I never seen you before?"

 "M'lady, its an honor dancing with you" his burgundy eyes locked into hers, taking a slight glance down at her pink lips. 

The Queen looked casually at others dancing and saw a few more with black hair. Weird, must be part of some outting.

 But she couldn't take her eyes off of him for some reason. Am I losing myself lately? she thought to herself. 

"Are you okay? You feel a little cold!"

 "I'm fine, as long as I'm with you" the Queen blushed slightly. 

He was slick. Pretty slick (but not slippery). The two made more conversation as they kept dancing. It was not just minutes bust was beginning to be an hour, and hour of straight out dancing and talking-both were not tired yet. The more they did, the more the Queen was losing  a grip on reality,  slipping into his trance, and the more closer he was to her neck- he could hear her heart beat, blood pumping through her body.

 It was as if everything was slowly going into slow motion, from simple to normal conversation to slight whispers of joy to whispers in the ear of the Queen herself to cold lips that met her neck to her heart beating slower until it stopped...for now. 

She dropped to the floor unconscious. Everyone slowly stopped dancing and was mixed with screams of terror. The guards soon came out as the King himself ran through the crowd to find his wife on the floor, more guards flooded in as they all circled around the tall mysterious man as the Queens blood was still around his mouth, dripping from his chin.

 Soon more high-pitched screams sounded from random parts of the crowd as they sounded more. 

Suddenly people came in crashing through the many windows of the huge castle and dived in to a buffet of living human beings. The King himself tried his best to defend himself, but the more bitten guests, the larger the army grew. It soon became to the King holding his wife in his arms, being cornered.

"Prince Li'anne!!" the King's assistant, Kylana, yelled while running up the stairs. The king and queen found it was best to have an assistant the same age as their son- basically they chose a peasant from the village and have her as his maid. Her skin was complimented by the dress that was picked out for her hair was pulled into a high ponytail.  Both of them were the same age-just 16 years old. She burst through the door to find the prince covered in blood getting up.  "Oh no..." she covered her mouth, the Prince had a broken chair leg in his hand covered in blood, "This man tried to kill me! He c-crashed through the-" "No time for that now!!" She ran to the closet and grabbed two cloaks and slapped one in the Prince's arms, "Put it on! Now!" she slips hers on and opening a drawer that was to a dresser as she took out a sharp dagger, "Grab any jewelry and put it in this" the prince knew in this type of situation, something is wrong, it could be a possible invasion. He did so, and hurried, grabbing his rings, bracelets, earrings even his crown-anything of value. This was done in a matter of minutes, "Kylana what are those things?!" Prince Amar slightly stuttered, seeing Kylana with a cross body leather satchel over her cloak. 

"Listen! Follow me and stay as close as possible to me! Those things will kill you! They are called vampires." "Vampires?" "Yes, they bite your neck, suck your blood, and turn you into one of them!" Kylana looks around, eyeing the broken window. She looks down to the ground, noticing that the drop isn't that deep, about the height of a rooftop of a house to the ground. She starts punching out the sharp pieces of glass hanging out of the window,  "Jump out of this window!" "What?! But what about mother and father? We can't leave them!" "....They are hidden away. I'm coming back to get them, you are the next king of France, you must go!"  she raises her voice. Soon, the door broke in and there he was, even Kylana noticed it. Was this not the man he Queen herself danced with? "I have found you Prince Amar~" "STAY BACK!" Kylana grabs the previously used bloody chair leg from the floor.  Amar quickly hops out of the window as Kylana quickly followed, barely missing the strong grip.

 "They're getting away!" the growl fades as the wind blew against Kylana's face. Amar landed okay, while Kylana made a 5-star landing. She grabs Amar's hand and the both run, they was near the horse stable so they went that direction. 

The two quickly ran in and hid behind an empty stable. Kylana peeps out seeing just only one horse- which was struggling to escape. "The other's must've ran away. Poor things were frightened. "I am so confused as of now." 

"Prince Amar, no need to worry...." "How do you know about these things, or-vampires? Are you a part of this?" "What no! Come on, the coast is clear!" she starts but her wrist was grabbed by the hands of a prince. "Did I do something wrong?" 

"I'm not going anywhere until you tell me what is going on!" "I can't right now!" "WHY?" 

"They can sniff us out and hear our heart beat! Plus they have ears better than a dog and they can fly! Prince Amar, if you want your life trust me please!" Kylana pleads, not realizing she had her fingers entangled with the prince's hand. Well it was a habit; she quickly lets go. "The only time they are not here is in the day. But....they lavish in the night. We need to take this horse and go to Hidelington Forest. Prince Amar, I'm a Vampire Hunter, and I hunt them down okay?" the prince was in disbelief, his assistant was a vampire hunter? 

"....We need to go"

 Kylana nods in agreement. They both managed to flee the castle and made it to Hidelington Forest- Kylana's home. It was a huge tribe of vampire hunters where Kylana was the leader. 

This was the war between Vampires and Vampire Slayers (AND THEY STILL LOOK BUFF).  The prince surprised everyone with his presence, as he too, soon became part of the tribe.

8  years later.....

"Man you should have seen that! I literally yanked her guts out!" Kylana laughs, mimicking a scream she last heard from her undead victim, making Amar laugh a little. "But are you sure you're okay? I mean she kicked you in the stomach?" "Ah thanks for reminding me, I can feel the pain from it now! I mean, I already have a cut there....I need to change my bandage now that I think about it..."  her smile wipes off. The breeze sent chills as Kylana zipped up her leather jacket. The tribe made sure to have their fashion sense stand out with their black leather and cargo pants. The past 8 years, the Li'anne ruling was crumbled, and no one could revive it with the prince missing. 

The prince was too, assumed to be dead. The end of a monarchy and the beginning of a new kingdom.  Later on Kylana and Prince Amar married, had a child, and lead the tribe for years as the tribe grew but so did the vampires. 

Both tribes kept quiet from the Vampire Slayer's enchanted forest that protected them from vampires; to the huge mansion the vampires resided in that was protected by their magic to keep vampire slayers out. However, one night a group of vampires attacked a vampire hunter who was wandering through the open field. Both Kylana and Amar decided to investigate, not finding the vampire slayer or the vampires-but were tricked into  a trap, as the slayer was in hostage and used as bait. Both were bitten and turned into vampires, being tormented with Dracula's voice echoing in their minds to join the clan. 

Kylana and Amar couldn't go back home since vampire's would be struck dead at the enchanted forest. They never saw their selves to kill or turn an innocent human being into something so horrid for their own nutrition. The only way they could turn back to normal was they had to kill the vampire that bit them. But there were many which left them confused- they saw their selves as a threat to their own people and would most likely be used as bait. Both decided to spend their last night together as the morning sun rose, as all there was left was two golden rings soon to be found by a weeping tribe and their new leader, Alyna (Eye-lin-nah).
