WARNING: For various reasons, I've had to take the Mature Filter off these chapters. Just be aware that these are vampires that actually kill people. Vampires have helped me through a lot of bad times, so the least I can do is give them a good meal every now and then...

Skyscrapers voided the alleyway of starlight. Under the opaque shroud of night and shadows a vampire dragged his prey along the cold concrete path. His victim's hand twitched, but the struggle was over. The vampire stopped, his tongue lingering over his lip piercing. He bent down over his food, his extended fangs aching with anticipation.

A beam of light penetrated the gloom. The vampire recoiled with instinctual awareness. Once he had calmed, he realised the light, though as dazzling as the sun, did not burn nor blind him. Transfixed by this wonder, he reached out towards it - part of him disgusted he was so entranced by the thing he despised the most. When his fingers came into contact with the ray, its response was to flow into him. His stomach squirmed as the light roamed around his insides, but with its absorption came communication:

Hale has to be protected. If she is transformed into a vampire, it will cause the downfall of this world. Do not think that you are drawn to her because of your passion for destruction. This is much more complicated than that, and runs much deeper within you. You will reunite again the day I die, and the mortal crowned as our next queen.

"Reunite? I barely remember her." The queen of his race had spent decades trying to tame him, now she was taunting him? Hale's blood had smelt so delectable. But she had been running with a friend, and in the frenzy of the chase, in the overwhelming scents of fear mixed with freshly fallen rain and damp wood, he had stolen the wrong girl. He'd come here to release his frustration, but as always Anaria had infiltrated his privacy.

Blake-Alexander, I mean not you and Hale - you two will meet again when she is ready. I meant you. You will be put back together again.

The voice stopped and was replaced by a tugging within him; a pulling. He grimaced. Pain was something he was not used to, and as the stretching sensation increased, he tried to gasp for air. But it was too much: the light within him was expanding. In his mind he cursed the queen of his race, just before he exploded.
When a self-outlawed vampire gets split into two personalities, he must save the woman he once tried to murder, and accept his role as king.
