Deep In My Heart #1:1890 Germany

The Earth is filled with humans. They are everywhere. But there is one thing that no one knows. Hidden in the darkness, there are creatures living, who live on animal blood. They live longer than anyone on the Earth, some living for thousands of years. Their blood runs cold in their veins, and they have extraordinary strength. They are called the Vampires. The Vampires know that if they come out of their hidings, the humans will get afraid, and then they will hunt them down until every one of their species is dead. They use the vampires in their movies and dramas, thinking they don't exist. Think they are all in their imaginations. They find it entertaining when they watch Vampire and a Human doing romance, but if they get to know they actually exist, they won't be as happy as they are now.

Vampires are very different from humans. Not only do they live long and drink blood, they also have keen hearing senses, their wounds heal faster and they can be quiet fast. Fast enough to keep up with a wolf. If Vampires exist, then they surely must have a ruler of their own. The Vampire, who rules over all the Vampires, is called the Vampire King. The strongest and mightiest Vampire of all.

The year is, 1890. The location, Germany. The streets were bustling with people, some were in their cars, some were walking. Some students were going home after their classes, and some old men were taking a stroll. But, among all those men and women, one was different. That man was wearing, a long black coat, which covered him till his knees, he had a hat on his head, he was wearing black pants and under the coat, he was wearing a white shirt. That man's hair was longer than the other men, his skin was pale white. Next to him was another man. His attire was similar to that man. His skin was also pale, as if there was no blood left in their bodies.

Evrin Coddell

Sir, shall we head back?

The other spoke, as he tried to look at the other man's face. He waited for his answer. Then the man only hummed in reply. They walked a little further, a few meters, then they hopped inside a vintage car.

Soon as the car went on, the tall buildings were replaced by tall trees. The streets were empty, and only the sound of the car's engine running was heard. The two men, including the driver, were silent. Evrin was looking out of the window, while taking some glances at the driver, and the man next to him. The other man, was just staring out of the window, with his chin rested on his palm, blankly. No expression or emotion was seen on his face, making him hard to read. He was like a sealed book, which was difficult to open.

The car stopped in front of a grand palace-like place. Made with stones and bricks, the walls of the mansion were thick and very tall in height. So high, that no one might be able to climb it. The metal door creaked open, and the driver drove the car inside. It stopped right in front of the entrance of the mansion. The two men walked down, Evrin just looked at his master's back, who was walking back into the mansion, alone, and with disappointment eating his soul. A woman jumped right in front of Evrin, but he wasn't startled nor did he flinch, as if he was used to it. The woman's eyebrows were knitted, she looked worried. She hopefully looked at Evrin and asked him,

Vidalia Coddell

Did he...

Before she could finish her words, Evrin replied to her as he knew what question she wanted to ask him,

Evrin Coddell

No, Vidalia. He didn't.

Vidalia left a deep breath. She was feeling sad for her master, but at the same time she wished that he would find the person he is looking for. Vidalia forced a smile and looked Evrin into his eyes. She slowly gave him a gentle pat on his arm and said,

Vidalia Coddell

Don't worry, he will one day.

Evrin sighed. He smiled slightly and said,

Evrin Coddell

Yes, I hope so too.

The pair walked inside the mansion. It not only looked dark from outside, but was dark from the inside too. The curtains were closed, the halls and corridors were empty. An eerie silence was boarding the atmosphere of the mansion. The only sound which was heard, was the footsteps of the pair.

It was nighttime. The crescent-shaped moon shone in the darkness of the night. The forest looked scarier than ever. The wind blew, gently. Among all those tall and dense trees, a man, was zipping through them with an inhuman speed. He didn't stumble, he didn't trip on anything, and he didn't fall down, he skillfully dodged all the obstacles in his way. It was as if he was chasing the moon, but no. He was going somewhere, somewhere in the forest. Then he came to a halt. His eyes were of a shade of blood. He had fangs. All veins had made themselves visible from that man's forehead, arm and neck. He looked around, not missing any details in the forest. He knew the forest well, like the back of his hand. As if he has been here for years.

The bush moved, and he grinned. His ears didn't miss the sound. He dashed to the direction, from where the sound came. It was a stag with long horns. That man had found his prey. He jumped on that lone stag and immediately stabbed his fangs on the stag's neck, while his other hand skillfully broke the stag's neck. When he had his fill of blood, he stood up. He wiped the blood off his face.

Kieran Cyril (ML)

Now I feel a little better.

He left a deep breath. He walked through the forest, he stopped in front of a river and washed his mouth and face. He praised the moon for its beauty, admiring its beauty. And then he went back, to that gloomy mansion, which resembled a Castle. As he walked inside, he was greeted by a man. It was Evrin. Evrin left a deep breath.

Evrin Coddell

I wondered where you were sir, it seems you went on a hunt?

Kieran only hummed in response as he walked forward, leaving Evrin behind.
