Chapter One

(Sam)

I knew before I even reached the doorstep of the building that someone was in my flat I knew that they were unfamiliar I knew that their mood was calm, cool And I knew that they were a vampire Like me

When I reached the top level of the building I found uards stood outside ly unaware of the va thee vampire in there had to be powerful in order to reuards and yet he/she apparently had no interest in concealing their presence froued

Just as calm and collected as the intruder, I unlocked the door and headed straight for the tiny, out-dated kitchen While rooting throughfor the carton of ht so I’d appreciate it if you told me what you want”

At this point I had established by their scent that they were male seen as females tended to have sweeter scents I was also able to tell, going by the fizzing feeling in the flat, that this particular vampire was extremely powerful A master vampire for sure

The footsteps behindWhatever this va Miss Parker,” he said politely, “I’ve been waiting for you” It was rare that I heard such a well-spoken voice around this area of London My neighbours –addicts, poverty stricken, or cri the bloke Well they would be in for one hell of a surprise if they did

Milk carton in hand, I finally turned to look him “So I see”

As with all vampires, he had incredible sexual appeal, but this particular bloke’s allure was evenI knew just by the slight tint of ary, thirsty or horny Luckily enough, they weren’t glowing now All Keja vampires had hypnotic beauty and females were often called Enchantresses Why couldn’t I have been a Keja? Instead I was a Sventé vampire; a breed that was the dullest of all three breeds

Three breeds? Well you see, basically, you kno there are varying accounts of varessive with hulk-like strength, so, and others believe that we are actually more human-like than the stories say Well the reason for all the confusion is that there are actually different breeds Sventés like me don’t have hypnotic beauty like Kejas or have super-super-super strength and speed like Pagori vaer and faster than any hu whichoverwhel to someone’s artery

This particular Keja in front ofset of eyes, his lips were full, and his peppery black hair perfectly frah cheekbones His black shirt and black trousers had to be h to hint at his athletic build Arue vampire

So as a posh, rich,here? I folded my arms across my not-so-flat chest “Make it quick”

“My na you around for the past week”

I hadn’t expected that I thought he was here for Victor, my Sire – or as I like to think of hi this Keja’s expression with , but how could I not have noticed him? I consideredood “Who exactly are you?”
