Legends of the Supernatural

The Prince of Blood and His Mortal Love

It started with a rainy night.

It was a cold night at that. I never understood what coincidence made it like this, where we met, but all I know, is I would never give it up, not for the world. It had started with a simple spark, our eyes met, and my heart began pounding out of my chest.

That was when I met him...

I was walking home from work when I got the call. They accused me of stealing, and fired me all at once. I never stole anything. I just could never do something like that. What would I want with pizza ingredients anyways? It's not like it was a high-end job.

When I stepped into my apartment, more depressing news awaited.  I was evicted for not paying my rent on time. As much as I wanted to pay them right then and there, I had no money on me at the time. 

And I found myself on the street once more, now at night, feeling the beginning of rain on my head. I curled up on a bench, letting the rain drench my clothes and my hair.

That's when I saw him, on the other side of the street. Our eyes met, his eyes bearing into my soul. I could feel him searching me, then our eyes were separated by a passing car. I searched the street for him, as he seemed to have vanished. Suddenly the rain stopped falling around me.

"Are you okay? You seem lost." A calm voice comforted, holding what I found to be an umbrella over my head. 

"I..." I couldn't seem to speak. It was the male from across the street. Beautiful amethyst eyes watched my every move. Before I knew it I was following him away, far far away. 

I woke up aching all over. I could feel the aftermath of wounds, but what kind of wounds...? Then I remember what had happened. I looked over to see the mysterious male, his mouth open just enough to see sharp canines. Fangs.

I watched in fascination as his eyes opened, and he shifted to look at me. "What time is it...?" A soft mumble escaped his mouth. His beautiful, fanged mouth.

"I think it may be morning..."

"You're welcome to leave if you want..."

"What?! Why would I do that?" I whispered loudly, trying not to hurt either of our ears. 

"I'm not human, why would you want to stay?"

"I don't know... I just do."

"You can't stay, or we'll both get punished."

"Why? And where are we? I don't mind if I'm punished, I've got nothing to loose. " 

His amethyst eyes watched me after my reply, before he seemed to give in. 

"Okay, but you're going to have to hide. The maid should be here soon."

I crept out of bed, blushing at my own nakedness.

I heard the door creak open at that same moment, and a sharp shriek. Next thing I know, I was  being dragged away from him, the one that made me complete, and locked away into a cell.

After what seemed like forever, I was finally bound, and pulled from my cage, dragged outside. The sight made my stomach flutter.

There was a rope, and a crowd, and in that instant, I knew what the punishment was.

My beloved was dragged up the steps, the rope secured around his neck. Next, I came up, and the same was done to me.

With bound wrists, I gently grabbed his hand in mine, giving him a soft smile. 

"I love you, Romeo."

"I love you, Juliet."

The place where our feet sat dissipated, and everything went black.
