Prologue

3055 Words
It was the year 2050 when he first saw me. I was different, I was what one would call innocent yet beautiful. I thought good of everybody and everything, I was the most optimistic person to encounter, people looked forward to seeing me just so they could hear me say something that would brighten their day. So I could make their miserable lives better. But I didn't know that was how they felt then. I was just a normal girl giving them complements but at the same time I wasn't normal, I am or was a creature which was rarely spotted. Which was spoken of and which many feared, they didn't know much about my kind. It is said that people fear the unknown, I was the unknown, I am a lecrow. Many does not know what abilities lecrows carry, one of them is flying. As I tell you the rest of what has happened you will uncover all of my abilities one by one. The day which he seen me I was taking a stroll in the woods to get away from my overbearing family having eleven siblings of only one being a female and the rest male was not easy, that was my time to get away from all that drama. As I was on my way back home I came across a cottage, it looked a bit shady so I just carried on walking but stopped when I seen a man in front of me. He was the most perfect person I've ever seen, with hair as black as coal and eyes as grey as the storm. He had the most perfect lip shape and he was pale. He wore dark suit which looked expensive and it fit his body perfectly, custom made I assume. We just stared at each other for what felt like hours but was only a few minutes. I snapped out of that daze first and spoke, ”Can I help you sir?” and I seen his eyes soften after hearing me say that. “Oh yes, could you point me in the direction of the Old Wing Town?” he said in a soft tone but he also sounded so dominant and demanding, he had a voice that drew in attention, you would love to listen to it for hours and hours on end. But you would also cower away if that voice was raised even if you are not the target of his fury. “I am going there now you wouldn't mind walking with me right?” I asked a bit hesitantly. “ No, not at all, lead the way.” wow he is handsome. So I started walking again,” Sir, can I asked you something?” I asked. “Please call me Xavier. And yes you can.” “ You have the same name as the Vampire King, and was that your cottage?” “Yes I do!” he laughed a little while saying that. “And yes that is my cottage I come here to get away for a while when things gets too hectic, what is your name my lovely lady” I giggled when he said that. “ I come to the woods to get away from my family, they can get overbearing.And my name is Luella.” “So you do know how I feel, life can get too much at times.” “Yes I do and it can.” “Why do you come to the woods though, its dangerous.” “Xavier I can take care of myself believe it or not.” “Okay, I will take your word for it.” he said while chuckling. “And also don't speak to strangers like that it can be very dangerous, for all you know I could be a r****t or a murderer!” and that’s what I was talking about that voice that can scare a person to death and I jumped a little after hearing it. “ Yes, I realize my mistake can you please speak in a softer tone you scaring me.” I said while my eyes were watering about to let tears out. “I’m sorry for raising my voice like that, please don't be afraid of me.” he said tenderly. Its funny how his temper just changes like that. "I will let it go this time but please don't do that again or else I'll leave you to go on your own." I said a bit scared and angry. "Thank you, can I walk you home if you don't mind." he said sounding relieved and then nervous. "Yes you can but you can't come inside I've got ten overprotective brothers that wouldn't mind hurting you." I said warningly. "Yes don't worry I'll just walk you to the door and I will leave." We spoke about random things on our way to my house. When we finally got there we stopped by my door and he spoke. "I really enjoyed spending time with you." He said while rubbing the back of his neck. "I did too." I said while blushing. "I'd like to do this again can you please give me your holo code if you don't mind." "Oh yes, it's 004 100 and what is yours?" I said shyly. "It's 302 456, see you soon Luella." he said and then he winked and I just blushed. I entered my house and went straight to my room. Our house had two stories and it wasn't too big but neither too small it was big enough for all of us to have our own rooms. My family is average in wealth we have enough to have a comfortable life so we not too rich or too poor. We actually have three hover cars. And we have enough to so we can have everything we need and more. He came to my mind later that day and I wondered whether he thought about me like I was thought of him. If he enjoyed my company like I did his. If he also imagined our future together like I was did. And I thought of how I just met him and it seemed stupid that I was thinking about that but I just could not stop thinking it. He had that kind of power over me. I was naive and stupid for thinking like that. That was the first time we met. Right now I only remember the first and last time we met I'm still getting my memories back one by one. After all I was reborn after that dreadful day,I am here to get back at Xavier. It was the year 2051, exactly a year after the day we met and I lived in the palace with him. I found out that he was the Vampire King and we loved eachother. I even gave him my virginity. But I didn't tell him my biggest secret yet and that was what I was thinking before my thoughts were interrupted by none other than Xavier. He entered the room we shared after finishing in the bathroom. I went in after him and did the usual morning routine and went out when I was done. I was putting on my clothes for the day when Xavier entered the closet. "I am going to start my day my love, being a King is a lot!" he said before giving me a kiss. "Xavier! Did you forget which day it is today?" I said sternly. "No it's Monday ofcourse why would I forget?" he said with mischief twinkling in his eyes. "Huh, don't talk to me, you can't even remember an important day like this." I said while huffing. "Love ofcourse I didn't forget, it is the date of the day we first met, I just wanted to see your reaction." he said while holding me from behind. "Seriously Xavier, I almost was going to knock some sense into this thick head of yours." and he just laughed after hearing that. " I have something special planned later for just me and you. I'll sent someone to give you an outfit and bring you to me, you will love it, be ready by seven." he said excitedly. "Okay will do, I can't wait, and now I will be excited the whole day because of this.And I also want to tell you something. " I was happy I couldn't wait to know what he had planned and I just couldn't believe that it was already a year since we met. If only I knew what he had planned out for me. But I was also scared of his reaction. I was going to tell him what I was that day. "Love, I have to go now, king duties but I will see you later. I love you." and he gave me a lond kiss. If only I knew that was the last time he would give me one and that would be his last 'I love you'. "I love you too Xav, see you later." I gave him a hug and kissed his cheek. He then left the room and I changed finished. I went out of the closet and sat on the bed. I couldn't stop smiling and I couldn't wait for later that day for our date. Xavier just made me so happy and I loved him alot. He was the best boyfriend anyone could have asked for. He bought gifts and treated me like I was the most precious thing in his life. And so far there were no problems in our relationship. We were what people would call the perfect couple. But the only problem was that I didn't tell him what I was yet but it was the say I was going to tell him. I was sure he wouldn't have minded about the fact that I was a Lecrow. I was bored that day but I was also excited and nervous but I also had a bad feeling like something bad was going to happen. And I wondered what was to happen. At last a maid knocked on the door and she had what I was to wear that day. It was a beautiful white dress, it reached just above my knees, it was tight fitted and it had a gold belt by the waist. That was not what I expected the King to give me but time has changed I guess. It was still time for seven so I took a nice bath and I relaxed in there for a few minutes it was the best feeling. And then I went out of the bath and dried myself. With the help to maids I put my dress on and did my hair and makeup. When I looked in the mirror I really that I looked weirdly different yet beautiful. I never used to put makeup or wore clothes like that. I was snapped out of my thoughts by a maid telling me that it was seven I put on gold pumps and I got up to go. The maid led me to the garden where there was a pathway of roses. The maid told me to follow the roses and I would reach where I wanted to. So I followed the roses and it led to me to Xavier with his back to me, he wore a nice black suit like the first day we met and he still looked perfect like the very first time. He turned around but instead of a smile on his face there was a scowl, he looked furious and that was when the smile that never left my face the whole day dropped. But he put a smile on his face, it looked sarcastic and I knew something was up. "Look who finally decided to show up! How long does it take to get ready?" he said his voice booming. And I questioned myself. Was that why he was angry? It was only a minute after seven that I arrived. "Xavier honey is something wrong?" I asked worried. " Yes! Something is very wrong! And that something is you." he said sounding very pissed off and my eyes started watering. "What did I do wrong?" I asked. "You really want to know?" and I just nodded too scared to speak. "You did nothing wrong, I just hate you!" And I let out a loud sob at that the pain was unbearable. "Did you really think that I could love a lowely girl like you? Someone that isn't rich? Someone that is a disgusting creature like a Lecrow, huh?" and that's when realization dawned on me, he knows? "Yes I do know Luella!" he spat out like it disgusted him. " I only used you for my pleasure. You were good in bed but I've found someone else. And she is also a Vampire unlike you." I felt like dying the pain was too much to handle I'd rather been stabbed then feel like that. But all I could do was cry. And he still carried on speaking. "I hope I never see your face again, you disgusting creature. I don't know how I can even stand being in your presence I've never met a Lecrow and I can proudly say that it was the worst experience ever." he said with so much disgust. "Is that what you really want?" I said while sobbing. "Yes it is!" he said. "Well I hope you enjoyed insulting me it will be the last time ever. And remember something, Karma is a b***h. I opened my wings a flew from there. I looked at his face one last time and saw the regret but I might've been mistaken. I haven't flied in a long time so I couldn't fly for long. I flied enough to get out of the palace gates and away from Xavier I stopped after a few minutes of flying. As soon as I landed I collapsed to the ground and cried like a baby. It was loud and painful, I let all my emotions out into the open. Anger, frustration, pain, and guilt. Anger for being so stupid for falling in love with him. Frustration because I couldn't stop crying. Pain for the heartbreak I felt. And guilt for not telling him, if I told him I would've had less time spent with him, less memories with him. My thoughts were interrupted by the sound of a very familiar voice, none other than the voice of Xaviers most trusted friend Johnathan Williams. He was always kind to me but I learned that everything in that palace was a facade. "What do you want Johnathan? To rub it more in my face that I was stupid." I was angry. "No, I just wanted to kill you. You know that you are Xaviers weakness if I get rid of you then he will be weak and I can kill him and be King." he said very creepily. "But Xavier doesn't care about me." I said hurt. "Yes he does, otherwise he wouldn't have put so much protection over you and you would be dead by now." he said looking like a psychopath. "He just broke up with me and chased me from the palace. Do you seriously think that I am his weakness?" it hurt to say it but that was the truth. "You might not be but it wouldn't hurt to try. And you know too much so I have to kill you. Any last words?" he said smiling creepily. "I won't go down without a fight." I may be stupid but I will not die so easily. He started running towards me and sent a bolt of lightning at him but he dodged it. But I sent me and one eventually hit him. He whisled and about six vampires and even one Lecrow came at me. I multplied myself but I could only make five more versions of myself. I faught sending lightning bolts at them and I picked up a nearby rock with my telekinesis ability and flung it at the Vampire attacking me. I kept on getting bitten and scratched at one of them had the power to keep my still. It worked for a few minutes and then it stopped and I could fight again. I shot one blow of wind and they all fell to the ground. I took my wings out and started to fly away but they had a Lecrow with them. He came after me and ripped my wind and it tore, but I managed to land safely. But I was badly bruised and there was a puddle of water on the ground as it was just raining prior to the attack. I looked down in it and I had cuts and bites all over my body. I looked like death, I couldn't believe that someone could do such a thing to me and one of my own kind. All Lecrows had one common ability and that was flying, he had different ones to me. Yet he never used it, as far I knew about lecrows some were stronger than others, some only have one power so he might've been one of the weak ones. Before I could do anything else the Lecrow came at me fast and knocked me to the ground with so much force. And before I could blink all the Vampires came at me. All attacking at once and finally someone ordered them to stop. It was Johnathan, when he started speaking I realized he wasn't helping me. "I will be the one to kill her. You all can leave now I will kill her on my own in a very brutal way." he said sadistically. I looked at all of them memorizing their faces and then they all left one by one. And it was just Johnathan and I. "And now I can finally kill you." my body was too sore to move so I just stayed in the same position and looked at Johnathan with no reply. He had a dagger in his hand, he raised it above his head and brought it down will full force and stabbed my heart over and over and before he killed me I swore to avenge my death. And that was when I died, on Monday, 21 January 2051. All those that have caused me harm shall pay I will make sure of it. Get ready here I come.
