CHAPTER 1

LAS VEGAS, two weeks ago...

' .... the detectives are on the murder case of the mysterious death of Shelly Anderson, an average girl found dead near club Juju two days ago. The victim was examined to be drained out of blood and bitten by what seems to be an animal, but the detectives are not certain......' the news woman reported.

Thomas Lockwood picked up the controller and turned the volume down. He adjusted himself on the couch and sighed.

"well done Arnold, you've really out done your self this time" Thomas said to the person standing behind the couch he was sitting on.

"am sorry, it was a mistake" Arnold Lockwood to his elder and only sibling.

" mistake!?, I don't think killing somebody like that was a mistake unless you are the victim" Thomas said slightly annoyed.

Thomas stood from his seat and went face to face with his stupid younger brother.

"you killed somebody" Thomas stated.

" I know, am sorry" Arnold said knowing why his brother was so bothered about this.

"don't worry Thomas, i covered my tracks" Arnold said and Thomas took few steps back.

He chuckled loudly.

"no, your tracks are already covered thanks to me" Thomas said. "why can't you just control your self, stop all this" Thomas said frustrated.

"am trying to, believe me I am" Arnold said frustrated and fell lazily on the couch.

"we came to Las Vegas to have a life for ourselves, to hide who we really are, we can't just keep moving" Thomas said trying to get some sense into his brother.

"we'll have no choice but to move if something goes wrong, we'll go live somewhere else, plus, I didn't want to come to Las Vegas in the first place"

"moving away from country to country Arnold, that is not called living, in our case, it's called running away from the life we had lived" Thomas said and walked out of the huge living room annoyed.

Arnold always thought Thomas had it easy to control the desirable hunger for blood.

Thomas had years and years of practice and I mean over two centuries. While Arnold just wasn't comfortable with the alternative of human blood. Blood bags or animal blood. He liked the idea of fresh warm human blood, but not the idea of hurting humans for it, but what other choice does he has. Thomas only takes blood from blood bags once in a while and vacates from it for a long time. Arnold doesn't understand how his brother can stand it without going all crazy and insanely hungry and still look perfectly fine. Arnold knew he has to do something about himself because he was tired of his brother's scolding and non stopping lectures and warnings.

...Arnold got up from his seat. He promised himself not to take human blood directly for as long as he can hold it. For once he wants his brother to be relieved when it comes to him....
