View attachment 10421The house, built in 1810, and formerly known as Charleston Manner, was the home to several generations of counts, lords and barons. Now, In the year 2012, it was all but forgotten sitting in a very forgettable lot at the end of a dark street.
Over the course of 200 years the house had passed hands, from owner to the bank then back again. No matter how many times it was resold the owners could never manage to occupy it for more than a few weeks before leaving. It had a bad essence, people who spent too long there began to feel as if they would never be happy again.
So finally it was left unoccupied......
Unoccupied, but not entirely vacant. A vampire known as Seth lived there during the daytime hours. Sleeping beneath the floor boards in the basement, he had thick black curtains over all the windows to protect against the deadly light. While his number one concern was having a place to call home, he had grown fond of Charleston manor over the years. The dark essence that scared it's living occupancy away was warm and inviting to him, lie a crackling fire on a cord winter night. The fact that most humans stayed away from it was all the more reason for him to call it home.
Until tonight....
View attachment 10423Seth sat atop his cherry-wood coffin. A guitar lay across his lap as he played an intricate song. The notes reverberated off the walls of the basement in such a way that amplified the notes he picked. He was hungry, and needed to feed, but for the moment he was content in playing guitar. It was one of the few thing she enjoyed all the years he had been alive.
Footsteps.....
The vampires eye's became razor thin as he stopped playing and shot across the room to the foot of the staircase that led to the upper floors of the house. He could hear someone above him.
"Hello" they called
Seth made his way upstairs with the speed of a air born jet and the silence of a light breeze. He wasn't sure who was here, but he could smell something sweet in the house. Something that made his mouth water with an insatiable urge. A young girl's blood. The creme de la creme in the Vampire's world. Seth was a vicious killer, but he was also curious and playful.
What do they want here? He thought.
Most humans avoid this place like the plague.
Seth watched and waited.
