Disclaimer: No, sadly I do not own Sailor Moon or the concept of 
"vampire". It has been used by a lot of writers so far but this plot is 
mine. The first to use this concept in modern literature was Bram 
Stoker with his immortal "Dracula" but I fear that my vampires won't 
have much in common with his. I realize that I'm writing a lot of 
stories at once but you can blame my muse for that... *glares at Allegria* 
Anyway, I hope you have a pleasant read and as always, READ&REVIEW!


                                        


                                PROLOGUE


Ah, humans are such marvelous creatures. I never get tired of watching your 
every move, of feeling the cascade of emotions that move through you and 
take over. I've been watching you all millennia after millennia and you do not 
stop surprising me. I've seen you grow and change, I've seen you evolve from 
petty little brick houses to skyscrapers, from barely beginning to comprehend 
the wheel's functions to walking on the Moon, from fearing the phenomena 
to explaining them, from slavery to democracy... You have followed such an 
interesting path that I couldn't take my eyes of you without remarking a 
change when I looked back.  I've seen you finding countless ways to evolve 
and help and just as many to destroy. I've watched you all play your roles on 
this grand stage of life and I still haven't had enough.

I've marveled at the battle between reason and feeling and watched with a 
smile the predicaments and solutions. I loved to see human nature in all its 
complexity and have reached for the dark little part of your soul that comes 
out no matter how much you try to suppress it. I love you all with all of my 
heart and I will always be watching you from the shadow. 

Who am I? Yes, you would want to know, wouldn't you? And who am I to deny 
you the pleasure and honor of finding it out even if you will be afraid and 
disgusted afterwards? You are curious to know who I am and you will...

My name is Serenity and I am  over 6,000 years old though I don't look a day 
over sixteen. It is both my curse and my blessing. I am a vampire, the undead, 
an immortal. Call me as you wish, the truth remains - I exist and I am not 
alone. Afraid? Well, I suppose I would be too if I were in your place - 
human, fragile, breakable...

Why do I write this? Because after so many centuries I have a story and I 
would like to share it with you all, to show the world that my kind exists even 
out of the horror movies and romance novels. We are here, now, and we live 
amongst you, we live on you, we love you and hate you, we simply are...

My book will probably anger many vampires and followers but I do not care. 
I am tired of living like a shadow, of hiding in the darkness like I've done 
something horribly wrong. Read my story if you want to know truths and 
mysteries that have been waiting to be revealed. Discover me and my life, a 
life that has begun thousands of years ago and will probably go on for just 
as long.

I invite you to an extreme journey. Do you dare find out what lies on the 
other side? 

Come with me...
