The Horrors of Love

Gravesend Castle; six hundred and sixty-six times more beautiful than Westminster Abby, stood openly in Romania's countryside with an imperceptible cemetery-like quietness; soft breezes ruffled the trees around the lake; Wolves were sporting in the water and a cougar was nuzzling his yellow fur below a weeping-willow tree, Victor, the Vampire, was talking to the animals; "Tis nice in the early evening; is it not, boys?" The sky was darkening so fast it bruised itself. Love promises us a world made beautiful, then struggles to transform each ugly thing, and in its struggle it grows neurotic, always dreaming of better things, like betrayal or a handsome fanged raucous deceiver of death. Horsemen cantered around the castle's five-block perimeter, chasing away tourists, bug-infested beggars and homeless tramp-children wearing burlap sacks. "Lift up your throat to my lips and welcome the treasured kiss of an infamous amorous lover, there's no pain; the Horrors of Love permit me to drain your blood!" Victor went into his basement, preparing to jump into his coffin and keep the Blonde Assassin's daylight faraway. He slumbered unbreathing wrapped in luxury.Victor; the ancient one; slept the hot days away like a dead thing. He kills not for sport or profit, but to live. He finds his wives in New York City and wow's them deeply with bitter divine passion; then takes them home to live a rich life they never dreamed of, but, with his inborn obsession to hurt and maim, he'll forever be a night creature; a walking nightmare who frightens souls, wives, heroes and the Gods with the unleashed mayhem he alone knows; it was secretly said he wrote poetry, traveled, and aimed for the stars.he'd be a tad more human if it wasn't for the fact he's related to the most dangerous beast ever; CERBERUS: the three-headed dog that guards the Gates of Hell!
