THE BURNING PASSION NEVER DIES

Dawn....I stepped out in the rain looking at the ocean and this beautiful island I've been on for many years. I love how the waves flow with the water with grace and style. Nature is a lovely thing to watch; sometimes it can be deadly depending on the status. Every now and then I still reminisce about what happened on that dreadful day. It was one of the saddest days to see death before your own eyes. I still think about those days like it was just yesterday. My whole life existence had changed completely. My name is Naomi Lattimore, princess of King Lattimore of England, where I once lived. I was sitting outside on the balcony from my room, enjoying the breeze and bored out of my mind. Naomi laughed. My father came by to see how I was doing. How are you doing my little princess? I'm bored. Why? Well father, just being a princess waiting around to be married and have kids, is not exciting enough for me. I see. What would you like do more exciting? I would like to learn how to fight with swords. Are you serious? Yes! What would your future husband think about this? Should it matter father? What if something happens to him at the time? I need to be able to defend for myself. Okay my little princess, you make a great point! When do you want to start? Immediately! Okay, as you wish! McGregor! Yes, your highness! My daughter wants to learn how to fight and train with swords. Train her to the fullest and leave no room for error! Yes, your highness! Come along young princess!

McGregor was one of my father's greatest guard around. He trained me for a whole week in every aspect. My father checked on me to see how I progressed in combat. McGregor tested my skills against another great guard Carin. We competed for a while against each other. Eventually, I won after a long combat with Carin. It wasn't easy at all. McGregor asked Carin about me and my progress. She is very good at combat. She can handle herself against anyone in battle. Okay Carin! Thank you for that analysis! I do agree with Carin! McGregor replied, "You are definitely a great fighter warrior princess!" Bravo my daughter! I do agree with my two top guards that you are great warrior princess capable of defending yourself. I'm very proud of you! Thank you father for giving me the chance to do something different! You're welcome! Remember my daughter that you are a lady first and must always behave and act like a lady, understand? Yes father, I will! Good! You definitely have your mother's courage and patience. What about you father? What do I have from you? You have my fighting spirit and aggression. You are truly a warrior princess! Did you already know that I had this in me? In a way I did, but I did not know how you would feel about combat. I wasn't going to push you into doing something beyond your means. I like the fact you came to me about this yourself. If mom was living, do you think she would agree with me being in combat? I don't believe you would at first. Eventually, she would agree after I talk to her about it. Even though she's not here on earth, she's with us in spirit. She's proud of you from above. I know you miss her alot. I do too. My first and only love 22 years of love and peace. I couldn't have asked for a more blessed and beautiful woman. Her beauty and elegance are within you too. You have the best of both worlds. I love and miss my parents so much.

When our country went to war with some people from another land, trying to take over our country, failed miserably after a flawless victory with loss on our side too. I too also went with my father to fight by his side. Again, my father was proud of my fighting spirit and not getting killed. After a long battle, we were attacked by an unknown force, who started killing our men one by one. Some of us, including myself, rushed back to our kingdom to gain ground upon the attack. There was no hope at all. They killed the rest of guards and my father. I kept getting hit and beat down by this unknown force. I was so tired of fighting I passed out. I was left for dead.

I woke up and found myself in a castle that was somewhere off the coast no one knew about. I gather myself and started walking around the castle. I walked into the living room and heard a voice saying, "Hello princess!" Who's there? A distinguished gentlemen appeared saying, "No need to be alarm princess!" I will not hurt you at all. Who are you? I'm Arazan and you? I'm Princess Naomi Lattimore. You are the princess of a well-known great king. I am truly sorry for your loss! My condolences. Who are they? This is my blood group who have been with me for many years. This is my wife Oriana. Nice to meet you. Same here. Why are your skins so pale like your dead? What am I doing here still alive? I knew you had many questions to ask? I shall answer them for you! Please princess have a seat and I will update you of what is going on. Would you like something to drink? I don't mean blood. We do have many kinds of wine. Do you have chardonnay? Yes! Liam, can you get Naomi some chardonnay? Sure! We're vampires! We are dead in a way; but living in the flesh. We didn't kill your father and his army. The attack was led by a group of vicious vampires who are under the leadership of Reinhart. Who's Reinhart? Reinhart is a ruthless vampire ruler who's very strong and powerful. Considering the fact that you are alive from this slaughter, Reinhart and his crew will come after you till you're dead. Really! They want to kill me. I will kill them first. I admire your fighting spirit; but you will have no chance against their strength. Vampires are stronger than humans. How will I defend myself? We will help you. You'll be one of us as one family. You only have a chance by becoming a vampire. None of us does not have to suck on your neck to become a vampire. All you have to do is drink this blood and the change will begin instantly. A few seconds later, I had a different life in a matter of an instant change. I felt strong and powerful. I saw things in a different prospective. I felt alive more than my old life. I became a vampire.

Here I stand along the shore looking at the sun rise off the horizon, seeing life changes throughout the years. Being a vampire for 180 years now, I wonder what lies ahead for me next on this journey. Will the oracle reveal to me who my true love is? I always look forward to what's ahead in the future. As Naomi continued to walk along the coast, she saw someone floating in the water. Is that someone in the water? She flew to the human and pulled him out of the water. He's been out of it for hours. He's suffering from hypothermia. I will tend to his well-being. Naomi took him inside her secret place and made a fire for him. She looked over and the oracle started shining brightly. The oracle is shining after I rescued him. Could he be the one? I wonder what the oracle will say about this. Naomi opened the oracle and heard voices of Arazan and Oriana. Arazan and Oriana appeared from the oracle: Hello daughter! If you open the oracle, then that means you have found the man who's looking for the same as you: LOVE. Arazan smiled. Love conquers all evil. I know it seems strange about a vampire talking about love; but we were once humans too. We have killed people and animals for survival; but not out of random. The one's who attacked you and your family are vicious and ruthless. They have no heart or any kind of feelings towards anyone. Reinhart is the most powerful of them all. The man you rescued from the water will help you, care for you, and love you most of all just like you do for him. You two will go on lots of journeys and adventures together. Together with the greatest power of true love, you two will defeat Reinhart and his crew for all time. You have the ultimate power within yourself. The man is the key to unlocking those powers. When that happens, nothing or no one can stop what has been put together for many reasons. We know you will succeed in getting rid of this evil. We love you daughter. Take care of yourself and be safe and uphold the family name. We love you always Naomi.

Naomi cried briefly after seeing her parents once again. It was so good to hear their voices again. I miss them so much. So, this is the man I saved from the ocean is my long-time soulmate. I must say he is very handsome and cute. It was a terrible storm that passed by her not too long ago. He probably was caught in the mist of it. I hope he pulls through safely. His vitals are very low. Hopefully the fire helps out to give him some heat. I would like to know more about him. What's this in his pocket? A wallet? Naomi opened it and saw his identification card. His name is Alucard Murray. Nice. Interesting unique first name! He's from Syracuse, New York and worked as a legal assistant. That's very good. He had an interesting career at a law firm. I wonder what kind of life he had before arriving here. Let's find out but where should I start. How about a little bit from the beginning?

His parents are Ronald and Laura Murray. They were married for 19 years and had two children: Alana and Alucard Murray. Alana is two years older than Alucard. She's a culinary art chef and lives here. Thats very interesting to know and she is probably looking for her brother. I will send Alucard back to her in one piece once I'm done. Alucard wanted to be a lawyer once upon a time; but took a job as a legal assistant for the time being. I see he was married once before, had two very good friends that died uneventful, and an asshole who turned out to be his enemy. It seems like he had some series of adventures of his own. His parents died when they graduated high school. That is so sad to hear. My condolences to their parents. Laura died from a rare blood disease. Months later, Ronald took his own life, because he couldn't bare the fact his wife death. Death is not easy to tell anyone; especially loved ones, friends, or family. I know how they felt when that occurred. Alucard wrote to his sister telling her what happened. Death isn't the easiest thing to tell anyone; especially loved ones, friends, and family. I know exactly how Alucard and Alana felt when that happened.

Oh my goodness he is shivering and probably going into shocked. Oh no, come on Alucard don't leave this world now. It's not time for you to go, when I am just now getting better acquainted with you. Alucard took a big breathe and passed out again. What an experience! He must have really went through some serious for him to be like this. Don't you worry about anything Alucard, I am here for you by all means necessary, nothing will happen to you anymore!
