• The sky churned a murky black clouds swirled into a pool like abyss of darkness the illuminated city of Grud shown on the sky as if it were a large black wall absorbing all light and not giving any back. It blocked out the moon, the stars everything it was hard enough for airplanes to land in this metropolis. The only light that that the sky would give up was the ever constant lightning that would stretch across the sky accompanied by the a roll of thunder. The rain never stopped here it was gray and dull in the morning and in the evening it would be as if there were a never ending war in the sky. Far below the ever hussle and bussle of cars and people that never seemed to stop was the only sound that could be heard along with the occasional scream that could pierce through all of that noise. Most of these screams were murders and of course this is normal in any city or town that you reside in people die every day its completely normal. Crime runs rampant in the city of Grud whether its drugs, murder, or the casual rape there almost always seems to be some scream following the crime along with the blast of the gun. Not all screams are heard though esspecially here it seems that there is something in this city thats more abnormal then all the regular rape,murder and drugs.

    Night Motosowa's boots echoed through the dark alley way his image would illuminate every time the dancing lights above would shine. Rain trickled down his cold pale face and long ciggarette struggled to stay lit between his lips. A small bit of smoke trailed through the jungle of rain drops that surrounded him. He hadn't slept in months the rings under his eyes were almost black and so sunken in that it seemed as though he had black pits for eyes. There was also a soft red glow to them that seemed to show through the misty rainy darkness. He continued through the allies at a slow pace his keen sense of smell picking up on a nearby meal. Night smiled a toothy grin his canines poked through showing a glint of white that shown brighter then any regular teeth. At the end of the alley near the street stood a girl in all black holding an umbrella waiting for someone she seemed lost in thought.

    Night silently stepped up behind her and casually walked past her a bit, there was a bus stop right next to them so he had an excuse to be there. She noticed him the moment he stepped into view, he smiled, she noticed, she smiled to. Night looked over and smiled a bit more trying to conceal his overly large canines from view. After what seemed like hours he thought of something to say, ''Waiting for the bus''? She looked at him a bit more curious then gave him a sassy smile and said, ''At midnight''? Night laughed, ''Sorry look I'll be honest I saw you the other day and just wanted to say hi'' he lied. The girl was a bit antsy now he sounded like a stalker but she laughed to, ''oh really and who might you be''? Nights eyes shifted back to her, ''My names Night'' he had her now she was as good as dead. She took a step towards him this was quite unexpected, ''Quite the name I am Emily''. She lifted his hand and kissed it this took Night by surprise no girl had ever kissed him before it was exquisite he looked up dead into her eyes, ''So were you going to tell me what you were really waiting for''. She lowered his hand and said, ''a man who blew me off''. Night leaned against the pole and said, ''well thats upsetting and I don't even know you''. She took another step towards him then said, ''Thats why this is going to seem spontaneous'' another step. Night smiled his scent was luring her in she leaned in a bit closer then the kiss erupted.

    A mixture of love, passion and hunger he had never kissed a victim before but he figured it couldn't hurt anything. Night kissed her for about a minute more then found himself getting sucked into the moment. He lost his thought and was lost in her there tounges danced as if they were moving to some classical music. Night hadn't felt this way in so long it was as if his heart had beat in over four hundred years. This girl she wasn't ordinary could she have been his soul mate but he was dead this was impossible emotion pouring from the living dead. So much thought was running through Nights head that he felt as if he was going to explode. His watch began to beep he had to finish her now the sun would be up soon. His eyes had been closed during the entire kiss. When he opened them the rain had stopped and he could see tears streaming down Emily's face. Nights heart lurched and rolled over in its grave this wasn't her time but it was his. He pulled away from her and broke off into the alley she called out as thunder roared above he body ached he hadn't fed. Now it was to late he wouldn't be able to make it home the sun would surely kill him. And as Night lay in the gutter of an alley he could only mumble the name of his soul mate repetitively, ''Emily Emily Emily Emily Emily Emi-''.
