Francis sat at his desk. He blankly stared at his screen, doing nothing but wait for his forums to update.
His room was dark and moody, as was Francis. Black Veil Brides blasted around him as he sat there.
Tired, bored, sad.
At first he didn't hear it. But after a little while he noticed a slight ticking on his bedroom window.
When he turned to look he saw a dark figure stare back at him.
The eyes he saw were his own reflected on the glass, but as he stared he saw yellow eyes and a sharp smile behind it.

Intrigued he took the pin from the lock and slowly the window slid open.
A white claw entered and a limber figure followed.
Before Francis knew what to do or say the creature stood before him.
His piercing gaze pinned Francis on his place and his lips spread once more, this time to speak.
"Hello Francis." the creature whispered.
Francis wanted to respond but he continued.
"Fear not childe. I come to bear a prophecy."
"A prophecy?"
"Yes. You are the chosen one childe. There is much hidden potential in you and one day they will find you.
You will pass your tests. Because you are special."
With those words the monster slithered out the window and disappeared into oblivion.
"Wait!" Francis threw the window open to follow but he saw no one.
"We are counting on you." A fleeting voice whispered.

On a rooftop ledge sits a cloaked figure, hunched over and his eyes fixated at the church backdoor.
A small shimmering reflection of light betrays his position.
A second figure comes nimbly clambering around the side of the building and casually sat himself beside the other figure.
"Hey Chip, you never guess what I just did." He snickered.
The other vampire took the silver file from his mouth and glared over his shoulder.
"I thought I told you to stop calling me that."
"But you're always filing your teeth.
"And your name is Dale!"
"Right! You are my sidekick bro."
"I'm not your bro, bro."
The two sat in silence for a moment.
"I'm totally your bro, bro."
After another moment of sitting and Chip filing, Dale broke the silence again.
"So did those two come out yet or what?"
Chip shushed Dale while pointing in at movement down the street.
"I spy with my vampire eye..."
"Game time."
Both grinned wide before splitting up and disappearing into the shadows.
