Vampires! They stormed the town killing everyone in sight. Me, Tony and Rob were the only survivors. We ran out of the town, why stay? Vampires have took it over! Our home! Gone! Took by those wretched monsters!
âCurse those horrid beasts!â Tony cries when we finally stopped running.
To my creator, the one person who was supposed to love me, what did I do wrong? I tried my best, I did all you asked and yet it was never enough. You tell me âitâs all your fault that pathetic man left!â And âif you werenât such a nuisance..â I hate you. No, I despise you. I want you to suffer.

This city had once seemed wonderful. It was the place where I became powerful. It was the place where I felt like all my dreams came true. And I loved it, this city. And I loved the people in it.
