Chapter 1

Prologue: One Touch: One Kiss

Once upon a moment in the year 2000…Thomas Roman kept himself quiet that it almost resemblance invisibility. He actively chooses to completely avoid the human population. Sometimes he would make a brief appearance to defend the exploited and misunderstood women. Throughout the ages he learned that society chooses to favors disrespect, like it was their right…

“Billy, no…” the female voice travel through the pre-evening mistiness. Her voice trembles with fear; breathing harshly; feeling the start of the contractions.

Thomas Roman slowly sit upright listening intently. He can hear the wild heart beat of the woman clearly in distress. His hearing in tune with the unborn baby. He can smell the fresh blood. Getting onto his feet he quickly opened the tomb that’s his home. His blueish eyes pierced through the mistiness.

“Tell me Gia,” Billy Asher was furious.

“It hurts, help me.”

“I will once you tell me.”

Gia groaned when a furious pain seared through her lower body. Her fear brittle…the onslaught of the sudden premonition gripping hold of her tightly…seeing the opening of a tomb, a man making his appearance. She saw him through the mistiness of her pain addled brain. His eyes hypnotic watching her…waiting…

“It hurts,” she groaned.

“Tell me Gia,” Billy shakes her.

The sudden pressure of a cold hand around his neck; startled him. Turning he went pale before sudden blackness settled around him.

“Help me, please.” Gia begged holding out her curled fingered hand.

Thomas Roman bared his fangs as the fresh stirring blood was overwhelming. He rushed back into the tomb closing it. His finely tuned ears can still hear the mother-to-be; being in clear distress. Circling his tomb; he can sense the unborn baby. Standing motionless he senses a pull to the yet to be born baby.

“I am sorry baby-girl.” Gia groaned as another contraction seared throughout her body. Breathing fast and heavily she start to push as tears streamed down her checks. Being trapped between giving birth and continuous premonitions of a pale skinned man; her eyes tightly clench when she felt sudden cool hands between her legs. Visible fear rushed throughout her body but looking into his hypnotic eyes a kind of calmness settles over her.

Thomas struggled to resist the fresh flood of blood. His fangs extended while he helped the baby being born. His senses were overwhelmed; hearing the heartbeat; holding the vulnerable baby in his hands. The baby eyes looked directly into his trapping him. It was a strange sensation for him…He bared his fangs again bending his head before softly kissing the pulsing artery in her neck. He retracted his fangs looking at the mother watching him intently with a look of confused horror. Once he was certain the mother and baby were fine, he stood; turning and run away with the baby giggling in his arms. He moved with a speed barely being able to be seen by the human eyes.

“Maya…” Gia whispered.

Thomas was dancing between the graves with the giggling baby in his arms. Once it dawns on him, she was cold he sprinted back to the mother and softly placed her on her chest. The mother and baby instinctively bond.

“William Asher…” Gia said.

Thomas picked up both mother and baby. With unbelievable speed he moved through the grounds of Doom Cemetery. The cottage was nestled in the far side of the grounds.

“What the hell?” William exploded when his door was kicked opened. Everything was happening so fast; before he could fully comprehend, he watches the pale skin man placed his daughter-in-law on his bed wrapping her warmly with the still nursing baby.

“Who are you?” William Asher looked into the blue bleak eyes of the pale man.

Thomas bared his fangs the fresh available blood spinning his world around. He quickly moved outside but suddenly stopped mid-flight. Turning like he was pulled back he stood now looking at the mother and baby both watching him intently.

Gia reached for his pale cold hand placing it on the baby’s and hers. She turned and exposed her neck offering her blood freely.

Thomas quickly latched onto her neck and bite. He only drinks a second but knowing what she had offered. He was gone before they realized…

Maya slowly opened the cottage door. Its her seventh birthday. She eagerly peered around the door hoping to see her mother. She had to blinked several times but she saw no one. The pink bicycle with happy birthday balloons just stood in front of her.

“Papa,” she called happily.

William quickly comes around the cottage. He had been working in the back. He quickly placed the shovel against the wall. He had already seen the gift.

“Maya…” he kneels in front of her.

The small arms wrapped around his neck. Wordlessly he pulled her against his chest. He tried searching for him but know it was useless.

“Teach me to ride papa.”

“Wait here for a moment.” William went into the cottage to retrieve the pink bicycle helmet. He just shook his head and went outside to spend the day with his grandchild. Her constant laughter filled his heart with love and pride…Watching her like so many times; he wondered what had happened to her mother. He certainly doesn’t care about his son; her father.

“Maya Asher…”

The fourteen-year-old girl looked cautiously around. She saw the rich; popular Olivia Stone and her friends quickly coming towards her. She stood motionless waiting. She had learned early to be careful around her peers because she was their constant source of enjoyment because she lives on their property.

“What’s the hurry Maya?”

She studied the blonde girl dressed in pink and white; waiting.

“I ask you a question Maya. Where are you going?”

“My grandfather is waiting for me.” She answered quietly.

“Today is your birthday, right?” Olivia smiled looking at her friends.

“Yes,”

“Come with me. I have a surprise.”

Maya looked surprise and curious. She followed them secretly hoping it might be her mother. Especially on her birthday; she felt close to the mother whose face she doesn’t know. She just feels a very instinctive sense of her absent presence.

“Where are we going?” she asked already following the girls but in truth knowing its probably a trap of some kind. Being at the mercy of the rich taught her to be careful but she was curious about the so call surprise. She was constantly hopeful…maybe some day her mother might reach out. She just doesn’t know…hope is a powerful emotion.

Maya just turned twenty-three in the year 2023. She had the distinctive feeling her life was about to change so she decided to spent the day away from Doom Cemetery but instead found herself being trapped… Permanent words ringing in her ears… “Curiosity trapped the cat.” Cruel laughter ringing in the misty air. She realized she still don’t get that she was the joke.

“Olivia…let me out.” Maya called but quickly understood the words was only in her mind. It slowly dawns on her she was trapped and buried alive and she wasn’t alone.

Tears streamed down her face with eyes shut remembering the moments from her seventh birthday…happiest day all thanks to her grandfather. Turning fourteen was the start of the abuse from Olivia Stone. It was also the beginning of knowing someone watched her but apparently not today when she turned twenty-three.

She frowns when she felt the cloying wetness making the chills run down her spine. She briefly heard voices then absolute silence. Confusion widen her eyes. She realized she was sweating with growing fear.

Darkness around her; feeling the growing suffocation; her mind somehow felt scrambled. It slowly dawns on her again she was trapped in a tomb within a coffin. She could barely move but the most shocking realization; she wasn’t alone.

Something solid yet soft was sticking in her back or rather the length of her body. Trying to force her mind into understanding; staying motionless; allowing her frightened mind to take stock of her life in the Cemetery.

“Who is here…with me?” she asked openly frightened.

She felt her body being stirred as someone underneath her starts to move. Arms gently circled around her frame. There was something so breath-takingly electrified in that touch…over familiar that she felt her whole-body calming making her breathe slow and easy.

Maya felt calm…

She felt unbelievable trust…

Her emotions were completely scrambled but she breathlessly waited…

Thomas Roman reborn in the year 1919 in Europe. He never thought about the time before his rebirth; only since he was turned. He had a gentle master who taught him the art of being a guardian. All of his guardian children have long since grown. It sometimes saddens him, making him a loner but something has shifted the year 2000; here in Doom Cemetery.

He can hear her strong heartbeat. He can smell her emotions. He can clearly hear her thoughts…knowing she trust him without understanding.

He reached and pushed the coffin opened. The tomb was also darkened but there was enough light for her to see.

“Can you get out?” he asked softly.

Maya felt shock waves rushing through her. There was something just beyond her memory bank.

“Who are you?” she asked softly. “Please tell me before I turn around.”

“I am Thomas Roman; born in the year of 1919.” He answered.

Chapter 1: One Touch: One Kiss
William Asher opened the cottage door looking for Maya. He raised that girl to the best of his abilities; also knowing the Doom Cemetery environment wasn’t the right place to raised her. He once applied to get her into a school for girls but she refused pointedly. A quick search revealed Maya wasn’t home. “Hello Dad,” The older man stood motionless looking at his only son. He kept his face expressionless; being on guard. He doesn’t trust his son. “What do you want; Billy?” “I need your help.” “I don’t want to help you. Whatever trouble you are in; sort it yourself.” William need to get out of the cottage. He doesn’t want Maya to walk in on them. He grabbed the shovel he briefly placed against the cabinet.

“Maya…Maya…” She tried searching for the person calling her. The mist stayed heavy and the night dark. She wanted to move forward but she felt her body being held down. It took considerable effort before she managed to calm her body. Now she just stayed motionless. She slowly closed her eyes. “Maya…look,” said the voice softly in her ear. She slowly opened her eyes. Fragmented images of blood appeared on the white wall in front of her. She felt a kind of cloying wetness on her skin. Her breathing sounds labored; the throbbing of her heart beat loud in her ears. “Maya…feel the fear,” whispered the voice. “I am not afraid,” she admits her truth settled in the depths of her heart. Suddenly it felt like her head was shaking from side to side…memories clouded in mistiness. An awaited touch…electrified…possibility of an intended kiss; senses passionate protection…. “Gia…” the name slipped from her lips. She tried to open her eyes but something stayed dark in front of her vision. Anoth

Chapter 3: One Touch: One Kiss
It took a moment before Maya managed to get her run away emotions under control. The very presence of the man in front of her has her overwhelm but also strangely at ease. She slowly stepped away from him. She took a deep breath before lifting her head to looked into his face. She stood still just studying his expression.“Hi,” she said softly, while she kept looking. She stood motionless just looking at his expression. Her immediate thought he looked like the models of the covers of romance novels.“Do you like what you see Maya?” he asked softly…teasingly.She said nothing just keep looking at him. She slowly studies the contours of his face; noticed the black thickness of his hair that just covers his shoulders in length. His nose straight just above his thin upper lip and full lower lip. What kept pulling her towards him was his bleak blueish eyes. The longer she kept looking the more it changes in color and depth.“Thomas Roman, you said.” She queries in a tone of questioning yet

Wait!”The calling of her name just spurs her on. She kept running. She kept stumbling. When she looked up again, she saw the black gates right in front of her. She quickly rushes forward. She can’t go any further. In her frantic mind it dawns on her the gates were lock.“Maya, where are you?”She spins around looking behind her but she can’t see anyone.

Chapter 5: One Touch: One Kiss
Maya slowly walked amongst the graves. She kept looking at the headstones. She had grown up here but today it took a moment before she realized, the stones only carry the name in the grave not the date of birth or when that person had died.“This is very odd,” she mumbles.It took another moment before she realized she stood close to Thomas’s tomb. The memory comes flooding back remembering how that stupid girls had managed to trap her in there.“Waking up in there I didn’t realized what I would uncover. I always thought my life was simple and ordinary, but apparently not.” She voiced her though out loud.She steps closer to the tomb searching for a way inside. She can’t seem to find something that would suggest that’s the way in. She was so intended that she didn’t realized she wasn’t alone.“Are you missing your future house Maya?” Olivia Stone stood slightly behind her. She wasn’t alone. The two girls with her clearly was not aware of her cruel streak.Maya had turned watching the

Chapter 6: One Touch: One Kiss
“Maya…” The girl turned away from the window when she heard her name being called. She kept looking at the door, her hands hanging nervously at her sides. Since she called him that night a week ago; she found herself in another place. “There you are. Why didn’t you answer?” Thomas stepped into the lavish living room. He was dressed in a very expensive suit and a blood red shirt. He was a completely different man then the one whom she discovered in the Cemetery. “Hi,” she answered nervously. “Are you okay Maya?” he now stood right in front of her reaching out to take hold of her hands. He softly brushed with his lips over the texture of her skin. Again, those little sparks of instant attractions. He has such a gentle look in his eyes that the very look simply pulled her closer to him. “I am not sure Thomas,” she answered softly. “Talk to me and tell me what’s wrong.” “This might seem silly especially saying out loud.” “Maya, be honest with me.” “You know I grew up living in a c

Chapter 7: One Touch: One Kiss
“Maya may I tell you something? It’s silly, called it cliché but I want you to know this.” “I am curious.” She still nestles securely against his chest. In truth she never truly craves human touch but everything is so different yet natural with him. “I had watch you grow into the beautiful person that you are. I think I realized the truth from my being when you turned eighteen. I found absolute pleasure in watching you smile, the way the corners of your lips curves.” Maya blushed but said nothing. His hand lay softly across her heart. He can feel the strong beating. She suddenly felt his lips against her neck softly kissing the artery there. “Are you hungry Maya? I noticed lately that you don’t eat much.” He kept his arms tightly around her body. He was aware of all her emotions but he kept them to himself. “I don’t have much of an appetite.” “Why is that?” “I feel nervous…uncertain. The truth is I am not sure what to make of my future.” Her finger start caressing the enchanted

Chapter 8: One Touch: One Kiss
Thomas stood in front of the window holding a glass of blood. He drinks thoughtfully thinking about the girl who brought a strange change within him. The times when he was amongst humans; he found them self-centered after what he had given them. “I want an explanation Thomas.” Adam Blake was furious. The man who just appeared in his office earlier stood motionless drinking his blood. He wasn’t even listening. He slowly turned to watched the man he found on the back-alley scrambling to survive. He had given him a life but now looking back he certainly doesn’t appreciate what he had become. “I don’t own you anything.” He drinks the last drop of blood. His bluesish eyes almost white before changing colors. The continuous changing of shades the result of his thoughts. He slowly went and sit down in the chair. The look in his eyes burning the other man. “I don’t understand your current behavior.” Adam said flatly. “You know I could throttle you if I want to.” Thomas observed casually.

Gia sits motionless in the darkest corner of the gardens. Since she had slipped away from the doctor, she holds onto the photo like it’s the most precious thing. She treasures the little paper pretending its her daughter she was holding against her heart. She can feel her heart beat throbbing in her throat as her thoughts wanders back to that day in Doom Cemetery.“Maya…” her voice just a whisper. She only nursed her baby for seven days before she left and never looked back.“Bastard,” she hissed while remembering her husband. “You are the reason I didn’t see my child growing up. Now after many years; the first time I see her is on a photo taken by an outsider.” Silent tears stream down her face. After sometime she finally looked at the cell number scrawl down on the back of the photo. Turning the photo around to look at the face so similar to her own.“Would you answer if I call?” she asked the girl who only slightly smile while looking past the camera. It appears she wasn’t aware of
