CHAPTER ONE

He stopped and panicked when he heard footsteps marching towards his direction in the woods.

He was tall, dark haired with forest green eyes, pinkish lips and a perfect nose. He stood shirtless and it showed his huge figure, broad chest and nicely chiseled six pack abs.

An old witch approached him, a woman whom he had been running from for his dear life after she murdered him family six years ago. Now she came for him.

He questioned her in a trembling voice

"What do you want from me?.....you've killed my whole family. What else do you want? "

"It seems you've gathered alot of courage my dear boy. I want you dead...or I could just make your like miserable with a curse that has no cure. "

"Please spare me Valerie, I've done nothing wrong to you, neither has my dead family. "

"You see, you have this good sense of humor, kindness, goods heart that I don't like. I want everyone to be like me! "

"Everyone is different. "

"Oh, really? "

She replied in an astonished voice and raised her left hand towards the sky. Thunder struck as the clouds turned black. ,the atmosphere turned windy and cold. She stabbed him fast but not too deep and he bled fast. She spun him fast into the air and said in a harsh tone.

"You will forever be a weird vampire, one that will never be alive during the day. "

He kept on yelling out of pain and suddenly dropped down hard and unconscious to the ground. Valerie let out a wicked laugh. Her small eyes suddenly widened as someone behind her stabbed her to death. She fell pale , turned green and turned into dust.

******

He lazily opened his eyes and studied the surrounding with an unclear vision and murmured

"Where am I? "

"Oh thank goodness, you are finally awake. "

A woman dressed in a white robe said as she walked towards him with a bottle of negative A blood and a glass cup. She sat beside him smiling and he jerked back in fear as he questioned

"Who are you? How did you bring me here? How long have I been here?

"Calm down, will you?...I'm Monica, I picked you from the woods cos i felt you were weak. You've been here for three days now and you just woke up. I'm surprised you didn't feel any pain of hunger. "

"Hunger?...What pain of.....Arghh! "

He groaned in pain as his fangs sprang out of his gum. He stared at the bottled blood with his red glowing eyes. Within few seconds the big bottle was empty. His eyes turned back to normal and were soulful. Poor guy, he had to adapt to his new life style. Monica looked at him with pity and said in a calm voice

"Don't worry too much, you won't live like this forever."

His forest green eyes glittered as he heard those words and he said

"What do you mean? "

"I can cure part of the curse for you, if you wish."

"Yes, yes. Please."

"You'll live like a normal human being, sleep the normal time, eat but You'll still depend on blood and have you vampire characteristics. Control them in public Avan. "

She said and he jerked back when he heard his name. Avan asked her in a trembling voice

"How did you know....know....my name? "

"I know it. There is some one who can cure you completely. I'll tell you her characteristics...listen carefully. "

She ordered and he nodded. She began

"She is a beautiful and young girl with blue eyes. Her blue eyes glow when her emotions are at extreme. She has a good sense of humor too. You'll have to wait for her. Soon, you will discover more on your own. "

"When and where can I find her? "

"That, I have no idea, but be patient. "

She said and told him she wanted to proceed curing the part she could cure.

She smiled at him afterwards and said

"Your journey will begin very soon Avan."

CHAPTER TWO

Ella entered her house with a basket of fruits and shopping bags. She dropped the basket and bags, entered her bedroom and sat on her bed. Her cousin Anna, entered her room and stood in front of her planting her hands on her hips as she said

"Where have you been? "

"I just returned from the market. "

"Why didn't you tell me you were going there?, I would have escorted you. I went up and down the street looking for you. "

"Anna I'm fine. "

"And the baby? "

"Okay...It's been nine months since Kandell and Maddy's honeymoon. "

"It's obvious you love Kandell. "

"No, cut it out...I'm just saying I'm not gonna give Maddy this baby even if its biologically their's , she thinks every thing is money cos we're poor. "

"Don't mind her cousin. "

Anna said comforting her cousin. Ella sat up saying she needed to get the berries she forgot in a fruits seller's shop close by, but her cousin protested on Ella staying back to rest while she went to get it. Anna wore her blue cape and picked up a shopping basket and left.

******

"I heard you are going to deliver a woman soon."

"Yes ma'am."

The mid-wife replied as Maddy walked her into the enormous living room and gestured her to have a sit. The mid-wife thanked her and they both sat down. Maddy took a deep breath and said

"I want to adopt the baby.....I want you to get my sister's baby cos I know she's the woman. "

"But ma'am....."

"Just get the baby, I to raise my child. "

"That baby is her child by the law. "

"To hell with the law, I'm the biological mother.....if you cherish your life, do as I requested. I'll pay you. "

Maddy said desperately. The mid-wife hesitated

"Ok...I'll think about it. "

"Thanks alot.....this man will follow you. "

Maddy pointed to a stout man who stood close to the mid-wife.

******

Anna hadn't returned yet and Ella felt she was going into labor. She called the mid-wife and tried comforting her self on her bed as she was starting to pant.

The mid-wife arrived as soon as possible and started helping Ella to deliver. She groaned in pain as the mid-wife requested she'ld push carefully. After giving birth to her first baby, Ella began to gasp for air. While trying to give birth to the second, she fainted. The mid-wife carefully delivered the second baby and gave the weaker baby girl to the stout man. He gave the mid-wife an envelope of money and quickly dashed out of the house. The mid-wife shoved the envelope in her dress pocket and revived Ella.

Anna finally arrived and rushed in to see her cousin and the baby while the mid-wife left saying she had another woman to deliver. The cousins thanked the mid-wife as she left. Ella cuddled her newly born and watched her big blue eyes after feeding her. Anna admired the baby as she said

"She's so pretty. What are you planning to name her? "

"Victoria....her blue eyes gives me so much joy when I look at them. "

******

After handing over the baby to Maddy, the man told her what the mid-wife said

"Your sister lost her baby ma'am, the mid-wife had to meet another woman who was ready to give her baby for adoption. "

Maddy didn't suspect or argue, she gave him his share.

When Kandell arrived, she explained to him that she adopted a baby and showed him the adoption papers. He smiled at the baby and said

"What are you planning to name her? "

"Victory...seeing her blue eyes every second gives me joy. "

Maddy said and kissed the baby on her forehead.

******

Twenty years after the curse, Avan was becoming impatient. He broke the glass of blood with his bare hand and the wounds healed fast.

"How long will I have to wait? Life has been a living hell for twenty years and I'm getting used to living this was. My hope went high when I saw Victoria but it turned out not to be her. May be I should just give up. Its not bad living this way. "

He thought as he threw himself on a couch in his enormous living room painted white all through.

A female vampire outside his mansion watched him from one of the windows and smiled.
