Book 1 -Leon Hale-

1.Story of my life

Vampires, werewolves, shape-shifters -griffins, dragons,phoenix'-,we're just myths to those human snobs.All of them,unaware of us, creatures who walk among them. We appear human to them. Humans, who only seek what they desire, what they already know, what they've already accomplished... Careless! Useless! Completely senseless! That, is what humans are and will be.

Me, I'm just a vampire. A free person who's lived longer than anyone should. An immortal. I've travelled the world, swam across oceans, climbed the highest of all mountains, and most disappointing, I've also murdered, lied and stolen. All these things I've done, always alone, no craving for company or friends.

I remember the day, created by a stranger, and left alone in my new form of an immortal. Only to find out what I've become. I was fifteen when I became an immortal. Now, I 've lived for a hundred and seven years, read more than a million books, and still have not found my creator. I lived with my foster parents while they grew old, Phillipe and Esmeralda. They were nice enough people, but I never breathed when I was with them for fear of killing them due to my 'condition' as an immortal. I snuck out at night to hunt -almost to the next country, Canada- and stayed indoors or in the dark during sunny afternoons.On the year 1061, Phillipe died in a robbery. Theives. A couple of years later, Esmeralda died of old age.

When I was alone again, I hunted the theives who had killed my foster father and I murdered them. Drank their blood, out of raw anger that filled my eyes with hatred. They way my eyes were, bright red, lens tinted with red hot anger and hate burned my tongue. When I realized I could hear peoples thoughts.

Since then, I've kept my distance from humans, constantly trying to be inconspiciuous and ignoring them. Until now, the year 2008. I met another vampire, who unlike me, drank animal blood. 'Vegetarian' he callaed himself. The shock I felt when the immortal, Kevin Black, had told me he drank animal blood and had never commited murder.It was incredulous!
