When Lies Collide:


She woke up gently in her bed, her hands going to her neck where the 2 small holes still remained. She looked at her bedside clock, exactly noon. She then heard the buzz of her cell phone going off. She groggily got out of bed, walking to her cell phone on the bureau. " 'Ello?"


" Hey beautiful!" She dropped the phone, how did she get here, what were these 2 dots on her neck and how did they get there, and where the hell did her bloody tattoo come from?! These questions raced through her head while on the phone the man yelled," Hello? Are you okay? Are you there?" Dial tone came, ringing through her ears as she dropped to the ground, her back to the bureau and her head in her hands.


She stayed there, as the ringing stopped, her cell phone automatically exiting the call. The next thing she heard, the pounding of a hard hand on her door. " He couldn't have come this quickly from work," the thought rang through her head as another knock came on the door. She started to cry softly, her life had been so perfect once she met him, what was going on.


The door opened 2 minutes after she had started crying. It was dark outside as she continued to sit there. The man walked in, his hair looking of a different color, perhaps it was just the dark. He sat in front of her, trying to hug her gently, but she hit him in the chest a couple times before she grew tired, as she was already weak from crying.


" What are you crying about, love?" He had said love, he quickly bit his lip, another mistake as she saw one of his pearl white fangs. She started to cry again, turning away. " Lucis, what are you crying about?" He looked at her wanting to help.


" Wh-wh-what. . . are you?" She felt like she had been betrayed, but she had to admit to herself that if she had known about this, would she still have even thought about dating him. She finally gave off a soft smile, cheering up the situation a bit.


" I. . . Well, I have something to tell you. . ." He admitted this lightly, how was he going to say this. " I'll just start, but you have to trust me that I won't hurt you. . . Promise me you won't leave."


" I promise." She replied, not knowing if she should have. She had no idea of what was to happen next. She had kept secrets of her own, hopefully they wouldn't intertwine.


She blinked lightly as she starred at him, gathering her own thoughts, until he started, " I'm. . . Well, I'm a vampire." He seemed a bit shaky, probably wondering how she would react. " It all started in my blood line many, many years ago, with a war. There was a prophecy that told of a child which would be born to save the country from the war. This child would bare a birthmark of a cross on his neck. When this child was born, he grew to be a very handsome man, with many wives, but he had a deadly side, a mysterious side. He did win the war, like they said he would, but then they started to find bodies in the woods, their hearts ripped out and a small fire next to the body, that the heart would be roasted upon. He soon craved for more blood, and chaos. One night, he disappeared, never to be a seen again, with no kids born, as all had died in birth. All but one, which he had disappeared with.


" None ever saw them again, or that is what humans said. He was the first of our kind, only to bite many more, his children. His children started to fight for power over their territories to hunt. This made clans, many of the vampires bloods mixed, and mutated, but mine still is branched off of the first. We are called Cruor Regius. Unlike many vampire clans, we don't attack innocents, like you Lucis. I love you."


She looked at him stunned, perhaps their stories did intertwine more then she hoped they would. She backed away and went to the door," We can't be together, this is impossible. No, I have betrayed my family. . . You are the clan they have feared for me to meet. No, this can't be happening, no, no." She fell backwards, " We are suppose to be mortal enemies, not loves. You will know what I am talking about when you answer me, what family have you been ordered to kill since their great-grandfather killed 10 members of your clan?"


He looked at her and blinked, " The Vomicas. You couldn't be one of them, none are as nice as you. . ."


" Oh, how I wish it wasn't true, but I am. I am forbidden to even talk of your kind, and every time I have asked about your kind, all I ever got was the same answer, ' Some things are best unsaid.' Oh, how I have gotten sick of that answer." She had kept the silver, diamond necklace on and she looked at him. " You bit me, Caliga, didn't you?" She moved her hand to her neck where the mark was.


" I did, but I wouldn't want you to have the same fate as me till you agree. You aren't one of us, and that diamond necklace, never take it off." He left unknowing of what else there was to do. A family fued that has been going on for what now seemed as centuries, for the Vomicas were vampire hunters, and lived long. What was he to do, his love was one that would soon grow to hunt him. . . She started her training in a years time, just like everyone in her family.
