It's dull with light drops from the grey cloud above the sky. A girl with long red hair that mingles well with her pale skin and green eyes, especially during the night. The girl is gifted with breath-capturing beauty that easily makes men fall in love with just a glance and Dorothea is her name, unlike most teens her age, she relishes new things. Being trapped ever since birth, anything small easily catches her innocent mind.

Tonight she was able to get away from reality as she wanders around the dark and empty alley with only one thought in her mind which is to get away from her family. You see Dorothea loves her family deeply with all her heart but when the sun goes down to let the moon shine, that's when she witnesses satan in her parent's eyes.

She's born into a wealthy family who spoils and shows her off every chance they got but when it turns opaque, she's just a punching bag to be played with. Being the eldest doesn't help also as she was made to believe that she is ample enough to handle the pain while her youngest sibling snickers, watching her bleed.

But tonight is different.

Tonight she is out, accepting the beauty of the night, neglecting the far noises and carriages rushing by to get home. Moments like this she felt alive, with nothing to worry about and nothing to fear.

Her empty thought of relaxation was cut off when the ear-pitching sound of screaming can be heard. Looking around for a sight of that person seems impossible with the dim alley she is in. When the sound doesn't seem to be going away, she knew it meant trouble and that she should head home but her feet move on their own closer to the sound of painful screaming.

There at the edge of the alley, she was greeted with something she would never have imagined. A man probably in his mids 20s biting and sucking the woman's neck.

Dorothea could see blood flowing down the woman's throat to her shoulder then the floor. She should be scared, yell or even call for help but she was staring intensely into the man's red ruby eyes in curiosity. Since birth, she was born with a lack of emotions and deep curiosity but had learned to cover them with a beautiful breathtaking smile

"What are you doing?" Her question made the man stop his action, ripping his teeth at the poor woman that is no longer breathing. Dorothea could tell he was intrigued by how she hasn't shown any sign of fear nor sorrow for the dead woman. "Feeding. You see, I haven't eaten in days, my child."

"Feeding? On a human? What are you?" The man was clearly amused by her blunt question and her not taking a step back when he went closer to her. When he stood close enough for him to touch her, he answered her question.

"Easy, I'm a vampire. I go by the name Aro and what should I call you?" / "Dorothea. It's nice to meet you Mr Aro," The man let out a deep laugh before raising his hand, asking permission to hold hers. Dorothea didn't hesitate to give him her hand, watching as the man took in a deep breath with eyes narrow as if his scanning through something.
