chapter 1

A man lie on the ground under a flickering street light, the gravel biting into him as the rain smacked his skin. Washing away the blood coming from his chest as his right hand pushes a blade deeper into his heart. And as he did, he stared into the light, the first light he saw in many years. And as he did something in him broke, something in his mind shattered leaving him empty, a hollow shell of the man he used to be. The wind stirred, picking up and in no time a tornado had formed. With lightning and thunder tearing through the sky. The tornado swept him up as the sky split open, throwing him around.

He didn't resist, as it couldn't hurt him. Thinking of that he frowned a bit, jealous of all the mortals who could die. But he wasn't a mortal, more like a monster trapped in a body that looked human. A monster that couldn't die, trapped in a body that didn't age. Though as he watched a star come crashing into the earth he remembered all the humans that existed on it long ago. (They were a bright people, always getting into trouble.) He smiled as the once dark earth lit up, once again but this time for good.

After the star destroyed earth, the man's burnt and torn body went flying into space healing instantly. The man sighed, making himself new clothes with his magic, then went to sleep still flying through space. Upon waking up he found himself in a brightly lit room. He sat up and as he looked around, he saw three red packs next to a bowl of soup. He picked up one of the packs and saw "Blood type A positive.” written on it. And as he put it back down, a man entered the room shocked to see him sitting up.

“Good morning, I found you laying by the road, so I brought you to my home.” “Do you remember how you got there?” Grag asked, handing him a cup of water. “No.” He replied, shaking his head. “I checked to make sure you weren't injured, but please do tell me if you're in any pain.” After that they talked and Grag learned the man's name was Ethan. When telling his name Ethan thought back to the girl who gave it to him, and although it had been many years, and he's had many names, that was the only one that truly stuck with him.

Maybe it was the meaning of the name, the way it embodied him so fully. Ethan learned that the world he's in is called Blue Star, and is inhabited by vampires and humans alike. Humans have adapted to be able to secrete extra blood in their bodies as a result of “The Time Of Scarcity.” Although Greg didn't go into much detail about the time, Ethan could piece bits to gather. (It seems the Time Of Scarcity was a time where because of a lack of food humans and vampires were dying out and people turned to crime. A lot of vampires hunted humans.)

(While some kept them as Feeding Servants in exchange for food. Humans on the other hand stole and killed each other. Some formed groups out of jealousy of the vampires' long lives, and abundant food. And this occurred for ten years before a rumored pure blood vampire appeared and spread their magic all through the world making all the vegetation grow. And ever since the land has been back to normal.)

(But it seems that after the vampire spread their magic across the land humans have been able to produce a fixed amount of extra blood in their bodies that resets yearly. The average amount of extra blood humans can reduce is around 12 to 26 packs of blood a year, other than that they are just normal humans.)

Two days passed as Grag managed to get Ethan an ID, birth certificate etc. then took him to the hospital to test for his blood type. After the wait a nurse led them to a room and went to get the doctor. Five minutes later the doctor appeared with crimson red eyes and a tired look on his face. The nurse was behind him wheeling something in as Ethan looked up from the phone in his hands, handing it back to Grag.

As the doctor stepped closer to Ethan he paused, his brows scrunched up before introducing himself as doctor Lu. “I see that you're here today to test for your blood type?” Ethan nodded in response as he watched the nurse set up a machine. “Alright then I will need you to put your hand in this blood measuring machine.”

“You should feel a pinch as a needle collects a sample of your blood.” “After it does it will measure the amount of extra blood your body can produce yearly and your blood type.” “No need to worry though as it will only take a small sample.” After the doctor's explanation Ethan stuck his hand in the machine. And felt as the needle pricked his finger before quickly disappearing. And as it did doctor Lu and Gray's eyes glowed bright red as they stepped back from Ethan.
