James was at a club called 'Fire'. He was there to protect the 'innocent.' You see, in 1920, a spell was put on him. He had killed a witch's daughter and for revenge, the witch gave James a heart and a soul. James stopped killing the 'innocent.' He was always put on special missions but, he failed the last one. The person he was supposed to protect turned into a vampire, his name was Joshua...you will gain more knowledge of him later on.
"Psst..." James heard a voice say.
He turned around and saw a shorter man. He had brown hair and brown eyes.
"You're James Bass, killer of the 'innocent' turned protector of the
'innocent,' Correct?"
"Yes I am."
"I am Christopher."

Christopher himself was a vampire. His story begins in 1442. He was a knight in England. The king admired him and he was by far the favored the knight. However, one fateful night, he heard a fair maiden in distress. He ran to that maiden only to find out she was not in trouble. That was the night he was granted with 'eternal life'. The king thought that Christopher was dead. 'Eternal life' was something that Christopher would gladly take back. From the moment he became a vampire, he vowed to protect people and that's what he has been doing for 558 years. Tonight, he had a special mission for James.
"I have a special mission for you." Christopher said.
"What's that?" James asked.
"Do you see that girl with brown shoulder length hair?"
Christopher pointed in the direction of the girl. The girl was very beautiful. Her hair was brown and her skin gave a glow to it. She was clad in a white dress and white platforms. She looked just like an angel.

"Her name is Angel. She is a 'believer' but, she has been blessed." Christopher explained.
"She's beautiful." Lance said.
"Your mission is to protect her. Since she is a 'believer', she knows everything about your legend. That is why your new identity is Lance. Don't ever reveal your true identity, don't fall in love with her and most of all, this ring you are to NEVER take off."

Christopher handed Lance a ring. Lance put it on. He knew that this was the ring that gave him access to the sunshine and made it virtually impossible for him to die, well other than the old fashioned stake in the heart. Lance made his way over to Angel.
"Hi I'm Lance." Lance said introducing himself. He wasn't sure how young people got to know each other.
"Hi Lance. I'm Angel." Angel said.
"Angel would you like to dance?"
"Sure."
Lance and Angel went out to the dance floor. Lance tried to learn the new dance moves but, wasn't having much luck. He wasn't used to this style of dancing but, he wanted to learn. Just one song turned into two and two into five. Minutes turned into hours. Angel looked at her watch.
"We've been dancing for three hours." Angel said.
"It's been a lot of fun." Lance said.
"Yeah. Am I going to see you again?"
"Give me your phone number and I'll make sure we meet soon enough."
Angel wrote down her phone number.
"I have to go. I have class in the morning." Angel said.
"Ok."
"Are you in college?"
Lance shook his head 'no.' "Oh. Well, I hope to see you soon." Angel said.
Angel left the club and got into her silver 2000 VW Beetle. She drove home and ran into her house. Late at night, she was scared the most. She felt as if there was something or someone evil out there that was watching her.
