Lily and a Vampire

Collen

Once upon a time, in a land of savages lived the parents of Collen. They were considered to be the Adam and Eve of the vampire clan. The only thing that could be bigger than the hunger of survival; was the hunger for nutrition. Food was the only item not purchased at the market.

One special night on the town they decided to get all dazzled for the main event of the year; New Years. This was the only holiday that the city celebrated. It became a traditional holiday and event for the town in honor of the rumored motives. The holiday was built to embrace new without recycling the old. The reason is because you are entering a new year and it's seen to be bad luck focusing on anything old. The townspeople pledged for any workers to have any deadlines if any to be completely stoned at the end of December. Nothing new is ever started then, unless the simplicity of the work could be completed by a noneducated individual within the week. Otherwise you mine as well agree that you have a death wish!

This year the event was especially big, because they had special appearances from a psychic, 10 celebrities, and a mind specialist. They arrived right around noon. They knew they wanted to catch everything available.

Five o'clock came around quickly and they were having the time of their life!

This was one of the only events they would actually eat human food. The clan always makes fun of them. Their reputation upholds them in being Adam and Eve. They are the only couple that is able to live like royalty and insist on enjoying, gathering, and preparing their own meals. That's regardless if the main dish is neck or not!

They started to get tired and insisted on seeing this psychic. They both wondered how the psychic would do it, and what the psychic would say. Both of them walked into the psychics area. They immediately smelled vanilla and lavender. A woman with long locs twisted with ribbon that matched her attire greeted them saying, "Hello, welcome in to Calm Viewings of the Unforeseen, where you are guaranteed a reading of the now and future. Times has given me a worldly stamp engraving me a God of the spirits or The Betty Crocker of the underworld. As she was greeting them, she ushered them into a hallway that was about the length of a football field. To the left it started to appear as a curve at first. but in fact was a doorway into a room that had lighting that was known only to be used by the #1 psychologist in the world. The lighting sends rays of chamomile and lavender to the brain forcing it into an immediate state of relaxation. It is recommended to come well rested or prepare a caffeinated beverage to force your natural spirit to focus.

"Please be seated." We all sat around a table that was similar to the old fashioned dining room tables with the interchangeable pieces. She pushed a button and plated cards came up in front of each of us as well as a crystal ball. You could tell it was real crystal from the appearance of material it was made from.

"Tell me three things you enjoyed the most. Tell me three things you absolutely hated. Now tell me your biggest fantasy related sexually or not. Now grab two cards. Flip one card over. Please take a moment and allow me to read your body language. You guys are able to engage with each other as normal. Five minutes passed. "I see love in your relationship. A unbreakable type that not even half of one hundred people reach. I also see a son in your future. I see that you guys have been missing all that comes with parenthood including another level of love. I see that your belief in your fertility is close to none. I see that you haven't traveled much in either of your lives.

They left the psychic unsure of what they were both feeling. At the same time they both stated, "What did you think of it?" Eve said, She was accurate about the personality test, but unsure about the fertility. Adam said, "Yes, I agree." Eve went on saying, "I just feel we or either way passed due or burnt out of the opportunity of having children. Do you think the psychic read that we are immortal or 200 years old?" "Of course not dear." Adam explained. "Honestly love you look like a modern aged twelve year old. With everything humans eat. Children are appearing as developed as most adults." He lastly stated.

Not even a full month went by when suddenly it hit her. Eve started sleeping all the time and could only hold down blood. At that point, the apparent came to both of them. Their marriage was obviously formed around a strong bond. Instantaneously they said aloud, "We're pregnant!" Time came around to name their son. Due to family traditions the name should be Sir Dracula. Reasonably foreseeing the future more modern than today. They both agreed the name was too traditional. Time passing as they contemplated an agreeable name. Eve thought to herself, what mix of names or name do I really like. She continues and thinks well the traditional name is Dracula, he is definitely going to be a he. and the task at hand is to think of a name to call him. Underlining the words call him. A vision board in a since appeared in her brain. Then it clicked! "Let's call him Collen." Eve announced. Adam walked over and held Eve saying, "Collen it is."

Collen had been born into a world where vampires were the norm and the humans were nothing more than prey. He had always been different; Collen was a bit more shy than most of his kind and didn't quite understand the unwritten rules of the vampire world.

Despite his differences, Collen still longed to belong. He was often rejected by his fellow vampires, who saw him as someone who didn't quite fit in. Collen longed for acceptance, but he didn't know how to ask for it. That was until he met a human woman named Lily.
