Blood Lost

Lost to the human world on the day of her birth, Eva, Vampirian Princess and the only female ever born of the Goddess Artemis's bloodline, has no idea who, or rather what she really is. She's always known that she was different, as if the evidence wasn't staring back at her every time she has to look at herself in the mirror. If her multi-colored hair wasn't enough of a clue then her bright violet-colored eyes marked her as anything but normal to the people of her small town, some of whom go out of their way to make sure she knows it. Yet, even if she didn't look different, she's never felt like she belonged. Something has always felt off, but what that something was she could never truly understand. But, after eighteen years of torment and abuse by her peers, her freedom is finally within sight. With graduation only days away, she'll finally be free to the leave this place and the horrible people in it behind, and try to find a place where she can finally fit in. Plans change though when a mysterious outsider, with eyes the exact same color as hers, shows up in town dressed like he just stepped off the set of Vikings and claiming that he's been sent here to take her home, which make absolutely no sense since she's never lived anywhere else. But something deep inside her wants to believe him, and as her true identity is finally revealed to her, the world as she knows it suddenly comes crumbling down in a whirlwind of pain-filled horrors and unimaginable revelations. Will this stranger's arrival be the key to finally understanding why she has never fit in, or is he just one more reason for her to run? For one week a year for the last eighteen years, Chayse, and a select few of his Guardian brothers, have been sent to the earth realm to search amongst the humans, some of whom are just as evil as their sworn enemy, the Lykoi, to search for their long-lost Princess. Why she was hidden here, of all the realms in the cosmos, he'll never understand, but after eighteen years of traveling back and forth to this miserable place, he's all but given up hope that they'll find her. And after this year, it will make no difference, because without one of them to help her through her change, she will die. So, what were the odds that she'd just happened to walk into the same eating establishment that he randomly picked to stop at only days from the end of their final trip to this realm to search for her? Apparently, pretty damn good, because that's exactly what she did. But she wasn't the only thing he found in this small human town. Somehow, a Lykoi had ended up in the same small town that she'd been hidden in. Coincidence? Yeah right. Now Chayse must choose to either go after his enemy and risk losing her again or confront her and begin the daunting task of convincing her to come back with him and risk being blind-sided by his enemy later. With only a couple days remaining before their way home closes for good, he can only pray that his choice doesn't come back and bite him in the ass.
