Introduction
You always hear about those quiet towns. The ones where nothing ever happens and everyone knows everyone else. Well this is where we start.
There is a small town that goes by the name of Heartwood. Everyday the people of this simple town wake up, have breakfast, work, lunch, work, home, dinner and sleep. Its the same thing every single day. No body ever tries to cause any trouble. But in this moderen day things are changing. people want to explore and find a thrill to make their hair stand on end.
But Heartwood has a secret. On the edge of town, surrounded by the forest of Heartwood forest is a large manor house. The manor just sits there silent and dark. So many rumors are whispered that is impossible to know what is true. Some think its haunted, others think that some crazy guy lives there. However most people simply think its deserted.
The only thing is that there was once a patition to have the manor destroyed. The patition went through and a demolition team was sent to destroy the manor. The day they sent them out was the last anyone ever saw of them. Many superstitious people beileve that the building was cursed by its last known owner, Eril Loch, who was known to publicly state 'No man nor woman shall live in my home that is not of my blood'. After this statment Eril vanished.
Three days ago a large percentage of the town of Heartwood recived a golden envelope. In side was a beautiful peice of card decorated with rose borderings and a simple sentance. 'You are invited to live in Heartwood Manor'. The letters were impossible to describe. They never went through the postal system and they were all found in side peoples houses. The only question that remains is who accepted the invite.

The Story So Far... Write a Post » as written by 5 authors

A blank but fearful look painted itself across her face. Serena's gaze flickered down to look at the crushed remains of her phone. With just a squeeze of his fist he could do that. She shuddered quietly at the thought of what he could do to her. She hesitantly returned her gaze to his face. His whisper made her skin crawl and her blood freeze but she fought not to show it. The redhead opened her mouth to speak but nothing but a squeek escaped her lips. "You'd turn me into a.. vampire?" Despite already being snuggly fit against the wall she pressed herself harder against it as if it would help her escape.

Eril nodded. "Yes. I know it seems heartless but there is a lot more to it than you know. I wont bore you with that though. Prehaps i can convince you to consider it. Just think about it, the speed the strength. You would have beauty that even the goddess' of old would envy. The world would be yours to shape how you want." Eril said softly picking out the good aspects of being a vampire. "And feeding really isn't that hard, you would be really amazed at how many humans would willingly throw themselves at you. Safe to say they get a certain.... thrill from the bite."

Serena could tell he wasn't saying everything about being a vampire. The instincts from when she was younger were kicking in; her situation was startlingly similar. Her father would try to convince her it was alright even though it was dead wrong. Her mother would smile her reassuring smile and nod, though there was always a hint of uncertainty in her gaze. And then the abuse would begin. She stared at Eril, mouth slightly open and her eyes sparkling with both curiosity and terror. The erge to run was unberable. She took a step to the left, then another. Yet she knew he'd catch her. There were two options. One, be turned into a vampire or two, die under his hand. Both didn't sound pleasing, but the effects of his soft voice were making their mark. It was almost a seductive voice, calling to her, telling her all was alright and there was nothing to fear. But Serena feared him, despite his dashing appearence. She felt the pull of his words and for some reason she found herself taking a step closer to him; then another, and another until she was only a step away from crashing into him. She stared, unsure and confused but at the same time wanting whatever was in store for her.

Eril looked directly into her eyes knowing his vampiric charms were clouding her mind. Although he enjoyed toying with people his true intentions for this were more personal. Eril sat down, his feet hanging of the table and he closed his eyes. "There is a lot to being a vampire, so many incredible things you can do. But it has its down sides." Eril could feel tears building in his eyes. He didn't know if he wanted to relive his past telling his story.

A sense of forboding fell over her. Serena looked up at him with her crystal blue gaze. "How long have you been alone?" she asked quietly. All the fire had left her now. She took another step towards him, this time out of her own judgement. "How long has it been since you had someone to be with?" She suddenly felt bad, as if it would be her fault if she said no to becoming a vampire. Sure, she'd gain everlasting life, beauty, not that she needed anymore. She'd be giving him someone like him. That feeling in itself pulled her closer to him. With a sudden erge she went and sat beside him, wondering if her being close meant that he could smell her blood.

Eril twitched his nose slightly but shook of the little tingle of thirst from the back of his throat. "Its been.... awhile." He said as he turned and stared blankley out the window keeping his face from portraying any expression. Even his eyes looked dead. Only his voice betrayed him, because he wanted it to. "around two thousand six hundred years." He said quietly. "At first i went crazy, i was talking to myself talking to paintings and people who werent even there. But i came to terms with it after a century or two." He sighed. "to messure time is meaningless. I am immortal, time is not of relivance." Eril used his little time speach to distract his mind as he stood up and walked to the window. He looked out to see a young lady asleep on the roof. "Foolish child, you could be hurt." He muttered.

All the alarms in her head yelled, run, run stupid girl! But for some reason Serena found herself frozen to the spot. She considered what to ask next. She could always change the subject, laugh it off, pretend this was nothing. But it was something. He had been alone for thousands of years, everyone around him dying and he staying the same. Her mind drifted, thinking what it would be like to be a vampire. "Does it hurt?" she asked suddenly, meaning the change.

Alison slept peacefully for a while before her whole body got very tense. She had begun to dream and that was most likely always bad. After a few minutes she flinched in pain. Also bit her bottom lip and sat up quickly as she woke up out of breathe. She rubbed her neck as it felt like her father was still choking her. She closed her eyes to calm down before she opened them again and inhaled. "Just a dream..." Alison whispered to herself as she shook. She really hated dreams. She wiped her eyes as she had been crying. Alison opened her eyes and tilted her head to the side. Her right hand stung she opened it and frowned. Her nails had dug a bit too deep into her skin and end up making four small cuts that now began to bleed. She licked the cuts and looked at her fingernails. Alison had to cut them. She pulled a small white cloth out of her pocket that had some old blood stains and wrapped it around her hand a bit tightly so it could stop bleeding. She lay down on her back again. Alison then closed her eyes sighing softly again.

Heather opened her eyes and realized how long she hadbeen sleeping. She slowly got up and figured that she may as well go meet some people. She made her way downstairs to where she found Leo. "Hey, my name is Heather."

"There is no pain unless you struggle." Eril stated. "It is because people are afraid and fight against it that they endure a sense of pain. You could say i guess that the pain they feel is self inflicted." Eril turned away from the window and leant against the wall. "If however you decided to let it happen and stay nice and still you will feel something very much the opposit to pain." Eril still kept his face blank but at the same time it was friendly now, he pushed his glasses up his nose and brushed aside his hair.

Shivers ran up her spine. She forced them down, too curious to just turn and walk away. Serena couldn't stop herself; maybe it was his voice or the way he spoke to her with his cool tone, but all the alarms ringing painfully in her head weren't enough to make her run. Without even the slightest hint of discomfort she took his hand and put it to her neck, covering it with her own to hold it there. "If I had a choice," she said softly, "to die or to live, even as a vampire, I would chose live." The model looked at him with her stunning mist blue gaze. "Bite me."

Eril rubbed her neck softly with his thumb. "Hold still then." He ordered softly. He shifted his hand down to her shoulder and leant in placing his lips against her throat. He opened his mouth slowly revealing his fangs and bites into her neck. for the first time in a decade he felt the wonderful taste of blood flow across his tongue. He enjoyed the brief moment as he only took her blood for a few seconds. When he was done he pierced his wrist and held it up to her lips. "Now i need you to drink."

Her heart began to thud loudly and it only became more evident when he told her to stay still. Serena waited, watching him silently, trying not to shake. When his lips touched her neck her blood ran cold and immediatly froze when his fangs pierced her skin. She fought to keep her body relaxed but every now and then it would go rigid. Her mouth opened at the slightest and she moaned in a mixture of pain and pleasure. Not even comprehending it she let her delicate frame lean again his. When he pulled away a shudder passed through her form. The model's knees wobbled and she was all but forced to grab onto his extended arm. She stared at his bleeding wrist, her already shaken self going rigid at the sight. Despite trying to control herself she licked her lips as the scent of his blood filled her. Yet she turned her head away, wincing at the pain in her neck. "I-I don't want to," she managed and shook as she forced his wrist away from her mouth. Serena could taste his blood on her lips and it took all her soul not to lick it off hungrily.

Eril sighed and shook his head keeping his arm held out. "I know it might be hard but you need to, other wise you are going to be incredibly weak and aching until you accept it. It only takes a few seconds, trust me." He said as the wound on his wrist healed under the surfaced blood.

The blood was tempting. She trembled for a moment before forcing herself to relax. Serena's eyes floated to his wrist and she found that she couldn't tear her gaze away. The blood shining on the healed skin made her lips tingle and she couldn't help but take it delicately and lick it off. After a couple she realized what she was doing and released his arm, eyes a little wide but not as shocked as she thought she would have been. Her mist blue gaze traveled along his frame and she scooted away slightly once she noticed how close they had been. "Sorry," she murmured, wiping her lips with the back of her hand.

Eril smiled gently with kind eyes. "For what? You have done nothing wrong. Now i should warn you that growing fangs works better if you have one last sleep." He suggested. "During your sleep your body will adapt. So shall i take you to your room? When you awake I will make sure you know everything and you can play with our guests as well." He said with a grin.

Sleep sounded very inviting. Her body felt weak and tired and as soon as the words escaped his lips she nodded. Serena still felt a little wobbly but over all much better than she had been. She lifted a shaking hand to her neck and let her fingers skim along the bite, only to find that it was gone, only dried blood on her skin. Her gaze flickered to his face at his words. The grin on his lips gave her chills but at the same time she licked her lips, then stopped and her lips formed into a tight line. Did she look different? Was she already starting to change? Serena couldn't help but smile back at him. "What if they don't want to be... played with?"

Eril laughed a little. "Please, they dont get to choose, and even if they refused they dont have the power to stop us. If it helps, they dont know whats going on." Eril gently stroked Serenas neck wipping off the dried blood. "Now, you will have to go sleep soon because in a few moments your fangs will start growing. That can be quite painful. I should know... i was kept awake during the change." Eril muttered. Serenas senses would have been fluctuating between vampire and human by now so Eril wasnt bothered about her being able to hear him. Eril rapidly swept round and lifted Serena up into his arms. "You can sleep now." He whispered softly.

Every time he touched her the blood in her veins felt icy cold, but whether it was in the good way or bad she wasn't sure yet. Serena tilted her head towards his hand just at she slightest. When he talked about being awake during his fang growth she felt a wave of sympthathy. It did seem what he was saying was true, her mouth was beginning to hurt. She didn't dare try to get out of his grasp as he pulled her into his arms, knowing she would be in pain soon and just making it worse wasn't going to help. Her eyes felt heavy and her body was slowly growing limp. "If they don't get a choice, then why did I?" she asked in a whisper, falling asleep before she could hear the answer.

Eril listened to her heart rate fall and her breathing become gentle as she fell asleep and forgot that she was with and being carried by a vampire. "So many differnt rules to a game. You just found a loophole." He said quietly as he raced through the manor. His move was so fast that every human he passed had no idea he was there and yet he did not once jolt Serena, letting her lay perfectly still in his arms. Eril made his way through to the left wing of the house and found an empty bedroom and stepped inside. This was when he finally stopped. He gently walked forward and lay Serena in her bed to sleep, then sat quietly in the corner legs folded and eyes closed.

Serena was very confused. She was sitting on the balcony of the manor, the breeze in her hair and the morning chill crawling up her spine. She gazed around for a moment before lifting her fingers to her lips. From there she could feel two large fangs protruding from where normal teeth should have been. The model frowned at the slightest, then jumped in her skin as Eril appeared. She immediatly relaxed and made her way over to him. Suddenly he took her chin in one hand and her shoulder in the other, moved them slightly, then sank his fangs into her neck. She stood there for a minute, not understanding what was going on. Was he feeding? Wasn't she already a vampire. Her form cringed as he began vigorously sucking down blood. "S-stop," she studdered, tugging at his hair, eyes dialated in pain. "Please stop!" He paused and pulled away to look at her, then leaned back down and continued to feed.

Her small form trembled in the bed and she rolled over, her hand instinctively going to her neck.

Eril sensed the distress in her movements and got up walking to her side as she lay in bed. He leant down by her ear whispering softly, hoping that maybe his voice would be able to influence her sub consious state. "Please, relax. You are safe with me. Never will harm befall you and i shall not harm you. Be still, be calm and all will be well." His voice was so soft and soothing and he sat on the chair beside her waiting to see what would become of her apparnt nightmare.

Serena's breathing calmed as he spoke, though as he sat back the nightmare returned. Moments later she let out a shreik and sat up in bed, body rigid and eyes wide. She immediatly put a hand to her jaw as if it was paining her. After she realized it was a dream she sighed and rubbed her eyes, not exactly noticing Eril sitting there so peacefully.
