hearts at war , bound by fate.

THE CITY THAT NEVER SLEEPS

Montebello is known for its rich and unique culture , its architecture and cobblestone streets that dances in the morning light, and a turquoise coast . It is known for its heritage and its love for live music and art .

It was not always like this though , i mean her peace , harmony and beauty. It is only that her people have remained her strongest core and were able to stand and fight each time tragedy struck and are always rebuilding her every single time she brakes . legend has it , there was a war that threatened to end the french and one of its knights sought out a powerful witch that would work with him in demon manifestation. After several attempts into awakening it , the knight was advised to gather the blood of little children to appease it , in the years to follow he killed hundreds and thousands of children , he eventually was found and condemned to death by fire , he was hanged and burnt . Days had not passed after he was buried that the first tragedy struck in the neighborhood where he was buried, young boys began to die. There was no trace of the murderer or the weapon except for the two teeth-like marks on the side of the neck. This continued for years until the knight's grandson decided to investigate. He found the coffin of his grandfather and was amazed to find it in perfect condition. Upon opening it, he saw him without a mark of time on his face thus the first Vampire in Montebello was born and that is how they infiltrated this city and made it their home in the early eighteen hundreds .

This city is a beauty , with its charming medieval villages , its golden stone houses with terracotta covered roofs , some with lauze roof terraced into the hill and interspersed with cobblestone streets and narrow picturesque passages. There's olive groves and vineyards that surround the city . My family and I have been here for as long as I can remember, my grandfather built a castle up in the hills when he moved here from a place we don't know up to this day ; he never liked talking about his life . Our home is an old French style castle built with ivy covered red stone . we have never had high walls and gates but tall trees , forever green tall trees that line up like a wall around our house.

In the office behind a mahogany and oak executive desk handmade with beautifully matched crotch mahogany veneers and a handtooled leather top. Solid oak drawers with English dovetails at the front and back , I sit on a chair with my feet up on the desk and a glass of whisky looking outside the window at the birds flying in the sky , some sitting on one tree branch and hoping to the next with no care in the world ,watching them i started questioning my recent decisions , the decisions I've made since the first day I laid my eyes on Celeste, yes I found out she is not just Lenora but Celeste too and Celeste suits her best .The first day I met Celeste in La Demesure Sur Seine sitting with a cup of coffee was not the first time I saw her , I had met her in my dreams, see a few months before then I had started walking in sunny bright days , walking this beautiful green fields wearing pants with hems rolled up to my knees , a white shirt buttoned down with crossbelts on and i would lift up my eyes and watch this lady swooning over bids , twirling and turning with the air blowing swiftly on her long summer yellow dress chasing butterflies. I would see myself walking up to her and each time i get close trying to talk to her she would suddenly be so far away from my reach again . Everyday I would see her and with each passing day I would do the same thing over and over again . Now I just want her to wake up so I can ask her why I keep seeing her in my dreams . For the past month my investigator have been trying to gather information about her but there's nothing its as if her family never existed before now , I can not find anything about her or her mother and I can not exactly walk up to her mother and ask her , that woman is a walking ticking time bomb at this moment I would not want to be on her bad side " Ce n'est pas moi, depuis quand suis-je autant investi dans une vie humaine ? ce ne sont vraiment que des faibles" get over yourself Kieran and get back to your life , you have always been a cassanova , humans especially female ones mean nothing to you, why start now ??

The sound of a telephone ringing startled him out of his thoughts and it is the company's billing department lady calling , she on the other end is looking to find out when the truckings accounts books will be balanced and workers paid their wages and he promises to take care of it by the end of the week . This interaction made him recall that he still had not taken care of the hospital bill he tied himself to taking care of willingly, he pushes his chair back , put his feet down and sits up straight , get onto his accounts on his work computer , "un tout deux cent cinquante mille, deux cent cinquante, mon père fait définitivement des pompes dans sa tombe" i mean he would never have allowed me in my right thinking to pay up such an amount of money for a human , he would have said "garçon arrête de gaspiller l'argent de l'entreprise il y a bien mieux à faire avec cet argent " okay maybe he would have made an exception this one time since it's basically his daughter who put us all in such a predicament so maybe just maybe what I am doing right now is a great and noble thing to do . it's 20: 30 on the dot and I realize I've been sitting here on this chair for more than five hours now since I got back from the hospital I do not even remember having had anything for lunch. yes yes I am a vampire but I do eat food we do not live on blood only we have had years of practice and it took personal discipline for me to get to this point , I can not say though that I have not hit stumbling blocks here and there but it's always nothing to cry wolf about , I wipe my plates clean and do the dishes after , no one really knows I ate when I'm done . okay well let's go home now shall we , we have been here for a while , I'm certain mom is not settled wherever she is. she is going to start calling any minute now . come to think of it , I'm a grown man it is time to move back to my own house instead of being stuck at home with a controlling mother , we buried father months ago why am I still there .
