Welcome to Gaia! ::

I don't have a heading for this story yet… but then again, I normally write first and come up with a heading after I start… there’s only been about five occasions when I actually came up with a heading before I started to write…

Anyway, here’s the Prologue, and what I have of chapter one, for a story I’m currently re writing… I’d really like to know what you guys all think of it, it’s going to be slash in later chapters… but I’ve got to introduce characters and stuff first…

Please tell me what you think, be the comments good or bad.


Prologue


The night always brought them out; at least that’s what the old legends said. Strange but beautiful creatures, with the thirst for blood. Creatures that were to die for. Where humans became the hunted instead of the hunters. It was strange really, to believe such a story, where people use to say ‘That can’t be true, they’re only myth’ or ‘Don’t be silly! They’re only fairy tale creatures made to scare children.’ But then again, people were, and are, incredibly stupid; it had always been that way. After all, they wouldn’t believe something was real even when it jumped up and bit them on the a**.

Like Vampires; the beautiful creatures of the night from fairy tales people seemed to dread. Bloodsuckers, demons, whatever you like to call them, the dark side of human nature… but they couldn’t really be called that either.

A small smile graced Elloki’s lips as these thoughts crossed his mind. Oh yes people were stupid, very stupid, and very blind. They only ever saw what they wanted to see, that’s what made it so easy for his kind to wander amongst them, unseen and unnoticed. Like shadows people knew were there, but didn’t bother to acknowledge.

They were like the wind, the very air people breathed, they were life itself, not the bloodsuckers people read about; oh yes they needed blood, but not as much as people thought they needed it. They were the guardians, but what they were guarding they could never figure out; whether it was life, or the world itself; either way they had fun trying to guess what it was since the dawn of time.

Another smiled crossed Elloki’s face, this time showing tips of pointed canines. Ah yes, life was wonderful when you didn’t know answers to things. Slowly Elloki pushed himself off the wall he was leaning against and looked up at the night sky.

“Oh Selene, Greek goddess of the moon and Athena, virgin goddess of wisdom, please watch over us all tonight,” he whispered with a small bow before walking off, his waist long white blond hair shining like silver in the moonlight.


Chapter 1


They couldn’t come out in the daytime. Another line that the legends said. But of course, the legends were once again wrong. For Vampires weren’t much different from humans in appearances, however, it is their beauty that set the two races apart. In fact, it is almost impossible to find a word to truly describe a Vampire’s beauty, for there are no words. People could never really come up with new words to describe some things. A Vampire’s grace also sets the two races apart. For they could be in a room full of people and just seem to glide over the air as the crowd parts around them. Vampires never move out of the way for anyone.

Of course, like many other closely related species on earth, there are thousand’s of tiny difference that separated the two races. Like a Vampire’s hair, for starters, which is as soft as cat’s fur, as strong as steal, and is full of thousands of nerve cells, which make their hair alive. But the three most important features about Vampires, apart from their beauty, which truly separated them from the human race, is their eyes, ears and of course, their teeth.

To start with, Vampires were always born with strange coloured eyes. Well what humans would call strange, such as, violet, scarlet, gold, blood red, and so on. However, even if their eyes were what humans called normal colours, like green, blue and brown, which was possible, but very rare, they’d always have thousands of silver specks in them, which made their eyes seem to glow. Their eyesight was also as good as a hawk’s during the day, and an owl’s or a cat’s at night.

Next came their ears, which were slightly pointed to allow them to hear the softest sound; like a cat stalking a bird, or a needle falling onto the carpet. It had always been a useful tool to have, but it did have a downside, like most things always do. Because by being able to hear the softest sounds, the louder sounds, like a jet engine, or children yelling to one another, became almost unbearable. This then lead to some Vampires having to walk around with earplugs in their ears to dampen the louder sounds.

Last were their teeth… well their canines, or fangs, which ever you preferred. The pointed teeth of legend that was people were most afraid of, other then the owner. These teeth were what made people fear vampires, a load of bull if you put you’re mind to it. Everything killed, but when it came to something attacking humans for a food source it just wasn’t aloud and had to be feared and/or killed; which was highly unfair to the said creature that was the target. And so Vampires, over generations, had found away to make their canines shrink and grow at will so that they could life a somewhat normal life and not be feared, while also being able to feed when they needed to.

Of course, all the visible signs weren’t the only things that separated Vampires from the human race. Their strength was at least ten times greater then that of a human, no matter how old the Vampire was, and they could move at speeds that the human mind couldn’t comprehend. Some Vampires even had magic that aloud then to heal the wounded, invoke spirits, manipulate fire as well as the other elements.
