#2: A Dark Soul
Kieran, a Vampire whose age is unknown. Even he stopped counting his age after he turned a hundred years old. He is the strongest Vampire of this generation, he is the King of all Vampires.
He is waiting. He is waiting for his mate.
Each and every vampire have a fated mate, to be with. That mate can be a Vampire and even a Human. But that Human has to promise the Vampire, that the secret of Vampires existing will not be revealed.
If a Human is a Vampire's mate, then the Human needs to allow the Vampire to turn him into a Vampire. As Vampires live long, the Human needs to turn into a Vampire, so that he can accompany the Vampire all his life.
But not all are lucky. Not all are lucky enough to meet their fated mate. The world is vast, and it is hard to find that one person among the crowd of Vampires and Humans.
Kieran wanted to be one of those lucky ones. But maybe, his luck is not on his side. He still didn't find his mate. Every week, he will leave his domain and go to the city, just to test his fate, to see if he can find the one he is looking for.
But every time, he fails. His destiny, disappoints him every time. He is slowly giving up. He is giving up on ever finding his mate. He already thinks, that he will never get the taste of love.
He can be with someone, other than his mate. But even though, he never found his mate, nor he knows whether his mate is a he or a she, but still his heart belongs to his mate.
Kieran, was sitting on his usual spot, his chair. From where one could get the best view from the window. In front of the chair, was a round table. On the table was, a wine bottle and a glass half-filled with wine.
He took the half-filled wine glass in hand. He twirled the glass slowly and carefully. Then he took a big sip of the beverage and gulped it down. That sweet liquor burned his throat a little.
He left a deep breath. He blankly gazed out of the window, in the sky, then he slowly mumbled,
Kieran Cyril (ML)
When will you come to me, Amore?
He is a dark soul who craves for light, and that light is his mate who is yet to be found.
A knock fell on the door, and then Vidalia walked inside the room with a smile. She had a cheerful personality. She is younger than Kieran and Evrin, but still very old. She was turned into a Vampire when she was only eighteen years old, and this is the reason why she looks so young.
Vidalia Coddell
Sir, the meal is ready to be served.
Kieran, gulped down the rest of the wine in the glass and got on his two feet. While Vidalia looked at him with a frown as he was drinking. It had turned into a habit of his, which was not good.
Without saying anything, Kieran walked out of the room, while Vidalia just followed him from behind. They stopped in front of two double doors, where one door was ajar. He pushed the door, and it opened fully.
Kieran sat on his chair, where he usually sits, leaving behind nineteen more empty chairs. The meal was served, and Kieran ate in silence. In the midst of his meal, Vidalia spoke,
Vidalia Coddell
You shouldn't drink so much, sir.
Kieran continued eating, trying to ignore her presence.
Vidalia Coddell
You might fall ill.
Kieran sighed. He looked at Vidalia, and at one glance he understood she was worried. Why wouldn’t she, she and Evrin have been with him for decades now, to be exact, for centuries.
Kieran Cyril (ML)
I won't, don't worry.
Vidalia knew there was no use in saying anything to him, well, at least she tried.
She mumbled under her breath, even that low voice was loud due to the dead silence of the mansion,
Vidalia Coddell
Whatever then.
Kieran ignored her again. He again locked himself in his room. Drowning himself in books and his work, as a King. Replying to the letter he received, reading books to pass his time, is all he could in these closed walls.
Vidalia aggressively munched on her food. While Evrin had his meal calmly, as if he was already used to it. Vidalia slammed her fork and knife.
Vidalia Coddell
Why can't he care about his health for once. We live long, not forever!
Evrin only left a deep breath as he cut his steak. When Vidalia didn't get any reply, she glared at Evrin and said,
Vidalia Coddell
Are you listening to me!
Evrin smiled at Vidalia and nodded.
She groaned in frustration and ate again as she was hungry.
Evrin Coddell
You know there is not much we can do. We can only, wait.
This time, she only hummed in reply as she chewed on her food. While Evrin again fondly looked at her with a small smile. Clearly, he was in love with the lady sitting in front of him.
