Vampires live many lives throughout their eternity. A husband or a housewife. A cop. A criminal. A dream or a nightmare. They wear the best of masks and experience life in a way a human cannot. With life being eternal, loneliness can be a common thing with these ethereal beings. Some welcome the sharp pain of loneliness. Others are eaten inside out by the pain. They are the ones who stalk the night, consumed by the lives of humans. Esmeralda De Leon is the one that will take in a companion no matter the risk. She is a temptress. She is beautiful, charming, with a laugh of an angel. Who will dare say that she is the one who is terrorizing their community? Esmeralda shares her life through her journals, logging every event she experiences. The most important experience being when she met Constance Marie Beaumont, a woman that changed her entire life.

Sweet, innocent, and young are words that are most commonly used when speaking of the woman.Esmeralda is enthralled instantly. The two women have the kind of whirlwind romance that inspires Shakespeare's poetry. They will go through life with ups and downs.Hate. Love. Vile. Beautiful.

Prologue

To the one unfortunate enough to come across the tragic story of my life within these leather bound diaries, may you read with caution.

I regret to inform you, this is not a love story, nor is it an inspirational tale that you will want to share with your family and friends in hopes to encourage them to follow their hearts. If you found these diaries with the idea of it being similar to a Dear John letter, you are sorely mistaken. I must prepare you for the most heart wrenching, ethereal, damned, bloodied and bruised story you will ever come across.

Everything you will read is up for your interpretation. Whether you believe my story or not, is completely up to you. However, I must remind you that you are reading my diaries. Who are you to question my memories?

If you have still proceeded after such warnings and an unreliable narrator, there is nothing else I can say to stop you. Though, I do have one more question to ask you. Do you believe in the undead?
