The Ultimate Vampire Resource and Directory

Night has fallen, and alls that can be seen in the sky besides the silloettes of the clouds is the bright moon that bathes the forest in its warm, gentle, welcomeing glow. As you walk, you hear jeering laughter "What a brave soul you are" a male voice taunts you, but you pay it no mind. You continue on your way, and you think you see the flash of eyes around you and yet you keep your pace.



You come to a halt as you hear a deep growling in front of you just as the moon is hidden by the clouds. The growling continues, and when the moon breaks free of its curtain, the first thing you see is a pair of glowing red eyes, then you see what they belong to. In front of you stands a large, horse size black wolf looking creature, with ears and paws the color of fresh blood. Around its neck it wears a large heavy metal collar, and hanging from the collar is the remains of a thick chain.



"hahahaha, foolish creature" the same taunting voice echos again. You look to your right, and now you see a horse size golden tiger among the trees that wasn't there before. It is not ordinary, or it has a rige of brown fur that sticks stright up going from its head to its shoulder blades. The two creatures watch every move you make, until a female voice, kind yet filled with authority calls "Ivory, Ebony, satis" you look around, and yet you see no one.



"Welcome to the forest. What brings you here?" the same female voice asks. You turn, and see a young girl, about 16 standing there. Her hair is shoulder length and black, and her eyes are red. She wears a pair of baggy black pants with a studded belt, and a tight shirt with a whip around her waste. You look to her sides to see two more creatures. On her left is a huskey sized black tiger with amazeing green eyes. On her right was a sniggering wolf like creature the color of blood with bone colored spikes protrudeing from both of its shoulder blades and hips. The creatures eyes are black as the shadows around you, and they seem to bore into you. Then, the creature began to sing a light hearted tune in what you belive is German.



"Ein Männlein steht im Walde ganz still und stumm. Es hat aus lauter Purpur ein Mäntlein um. Sag, wer mag das Männlein sein, das da steht im Wald allein mit dem purpurroten Mäntelein" the creatures voice was alarmingly comforting, and the girl glared at the wolf. "Stop" she looks to you, and smiles slightly "You must be wondering who we are, and what we're doing here" she said, her voice still kind, and slightly more soothing then when you first herd her.



"Allow me to explain, the family that rules under the Midnight Sun gets their powers from the moon, so at right they are connected to the creatures that lurk in the dark. Each person in the family cares deeply for two kinds of supernatural, or normal animals. I am the youngest in the family that rules under The Midnight Sun, my name is going to remain unsaid, what's in a name anyway? My preferred names on this site are Poodle, Kitty, or Sasha. They are nicknames, and I go by Sasha in most places I visit. Now, as said, each member of this family cares deeply for two types of animals and are caretakers over them, and them over their caretakers. A member can have any number of animals under their care, yet only two creatures may possess powers that are unnatural, amazeing, and breath takeing My friends and guardians and cartakeess happen to be these creatures, plus more" she said, and sat down in the soft grass as the sounds of the night echo around you.



"Behind you is Ivory. Ivory has not yet gained his powers, though he is an attentive hunter, strong and silent." at the mention of his name, the giant tiger yawned widely, and lay down, takeing the sound of his name as time to relax.



"Next to Ivory is Ebony. Sometimes he's as big as a dragon, sometimes he's as small as a new born kitten. Somtimes he's black ,sometimes he's red, somtimes he's a mix of the two. Ebony has the power to kill, he's a bit of a....grim reaper if you will. He's like the hellhounds of folklore, able to kill by just walking by a bystander. This is cause for the large metal collar,and a large thick chainlink chain, which he breaks anyway." the girl chuckles as you look over your shoulder at the wolf like creature, who was still standing, his fur raised, and his eyes watching every twitch of your body, ready to pounce if needed.



The girl continues "As stated, any member can be caretaker of any number of creatures, I myself take care of 15 creatures. The youngest of my cartakees are Onyx and Jade. They're also my trouble makers" at this the two animals at her sides seemed to grin, showing off their incredible white and sharp teeth.



"Jade is the youngest tiger under my care, and she is about the feircest thing I've ever been bitten by, though when she wants to be, she can be the cutest most innocent looking kitten one would ever lay eyes on." at this, the small tiger at her side widened her eyes, and purred, looking every bit of innocent as she possibly could. The girl smiles, and pets the animals head "She shows great potential for the world of reaping, but may also turn her path to that of protecting. Who knows"



The girl looks up at you, and holds out an arm "Please, sit" she said, and you slowly take a seat on the soft ground.



"Now, this right here" she nuged the wolf laying on the ground next to her "Is Onyx. He is the youngest wolf I've trained so far, he is about 12 years old, and quite the arrogant thing. He is a joker, and is the only creature I've trained that posseses the talent to talk." She smiled slightly, and took two books from two pockets in her pants.



"This" she says "Is my journal. You are more then welcome to read it" the pages were held togeather with thread made from red wolf fur. "And this" she held up a black book, profeccionaly bound with a leather cover "This is everything you need to know about me." the girl rose "Now, I must be leaveing, I hope you enjoy your stay here in the forest" she said, and bowed. She turned around, and walked away. Before she was gone, she turned, and smiled again, but it wasn't her...it couldn't be. Her hair was now brown and curly, and her eyes were brown as well. She turned back around, and when she was out of sight, all four animals seemed to merge with the forest shadows, leaveing you alone to read what the girl had given you.

------------------------

Now you have come to the end of the leather bound book. She slowly close it, and look up at the sky. It seemed the moon hasn't moved an inch since you first arrived in the forest. You sigh, and look around, and your eyes land on the glowing eyes of a creature, along with its snarling teeth....'no, it isn't snarling' you convince yourself 'it's smileing' You then hear the echoing words of Onyx "Hope you enjoyed your stay, don't be a stranger....." As his words die away, you look back to where those eyes were, to find them gone. You stand, and slowly make your way out of the forest. When you reach the forest's edge, you turn, and again see those eyes and teeth, but this was different, this one wasn't smileing, no, it was threatening in a way, and makes you turn, walking away from the forest.



"Interesting person" the girl mutters from the back of a giant black dog with two heads. "Lets go Sitka" she mumbled. The animal turned around, and headed back into the middle of the forest, with the girl on its back.

An 7 year old girl was sitting by herself in a local McDonalds. She had soft almost frightened brown eyes and the curliest hair ever. She sat by the window, looking around for her sister and brother who had went to the store across the street to pick up some things for their mom. The McDonald's manager said she could watch the girl.



The girl was torn from her thoughts as another one walked up. She had stright brown hair as well as brown eyes. 'Hey, whatcha doin sitting all alone?' she asked. The curly haired girl jumped, and looked at the newcomer. 'Sittin' she mumbled. She never liked talking to new people. Especially not other girls.



The other girl laughed 'I know that. Can I sit with you?' she asked, and waited for an answer. The other girl just stared out the window so she sat down anyway. 'What's wrong fluffy?' the little girls eyes snapped up at the sound of her nickname 'Nothin, waitin for my brother and sister.' she said. 'Well, I'm Ashlee Black.' she said, offering the girl a chicken nugget.



The other girl looked confused 'I'm Amber White....why are you holding a chicken nugget?' Ashlee laughed. 'Take it, it's my way of saying hello' Amber smiled, and took it, and ate half, then handed it back to Ashlee who ate the other. The two smiled at eachother. Just then Amber's brother and sister walked in. 'Come on Amber, mom's waiting' Amber sighed and stood 'Nice to meet you Ashlee, I'll talk to you later' Ashlee nodded 'Deffinately' as Amber walked out the door.



Amber sat in the car looking out the window her heart pounding happily. Amber was what other kids considered weird, a loser, or a freak. As an 7 year old, that was hard on her, but she was used to it. No one really talked to her because her hair was different. Amber was the quiet girl in 2nd grade, never talking much, keeping to herself and working on her own. Noone seemed to mind, and neither did she. Ashlee shared her chicken nugget with her, something no one does because she's weird. 'I guess she's just as weird as me' Amber thought, and smiled a little.

That was 9 years ago. I was in 2nd grade, she was in 4. She went to my school until her freshmen year, then she moved. It's not perfect, but it works.
