A novella (14 chapters).
An unusual vampire paranormal romance with twists and turns.
He can remember it all now. She was beautiful. I guess that can fool us sometimes. We all have secrets. Some are innocent but some will change those around us if they are known. Emotions about love and hate sometimes must be set aside so that we must do what must be done. The soul of humanity rests in the balance.
And so, a man struggles with what must be done after he discovers the secret of his lover's existence.
Excerpt:
Sometimes I am asked by individuals if the following account is true. My only response is a forced faint smile. After all, it is they who will register it into their consciousness, and in the end, they will believe what they wish to believe. It is that special mysterious human process we all possess. I cannot make that personal decision for them. Their decision becomes their truth to them--and mine is mine…...
She walked around to my side of the desk and put her right hand over my clasped hands. "Have you not one ounce of pity for me?"
I looked down at her hand gently resting on my hands—so slender and graceful—and felt her soft skin on mine, then looked up at her as I abruptly pulled my hands away from her. "I pity those who so unwillingly gave the blood that runs through your veins. I pity those poor souls. You're a being that lives in a strange macabre world, not one filled with sunshine, but one filled with storm clouds with blood raining down. Yes, I pity those poor souls whose only mistake was that they ran into you."
I rose slowly and put my hands on her shoulders and looked deeply into her eyes as I never had before. "I regret all the bad things that happen in this world. I regret everything that has happened to you but as the prayer says, God grant me the serenity to accept the things I cannot change, courage to change the things I can, and wisdom to know the difference."
Her eyes locked on mine as she softly spoke in return, barely audible. "But that's not the complete original version of that prayer John. The complete original version also said, Living one day at a time, enjoying one moment at a time, accepting hardship as the pathway to peace and taking as He did, this sinful world as it is, not as I would have it." She paused for a moment with an almost yearning look before she continued. "Yes, I live in that world, but it was raining blood before I ever stepped into it."
