The world was a cold, dark place at times. Some creatures would only ever see that side of the world. Others, alike to Beau, would branch out and see the world for themselves, not the disgusting portrayal planted in their minds from birth. Birth, of course, starting not at Beau's transformation, but after. He'd been murdered at the age of twenty-three, but he wasn't actually dead. His murderer was none other than the leader of all Vampires, but he could only keep a hold on his newborn for so long. Beau couldn't accept feeding on innocent people, turning against those who'd nurtured him for all his years. It took him a while to get away from the Clan, though, and now, an outcast, he lived alone in Miami, hiding from the Clan, who were all too close. He was a young Vampire, only with a little over a hundred years of experience. He ignored all the Clan had taught him, and lived by his own rules.
The humans are friends, they are not to be fed on.
The Vampires, also friends, but trust none, never truly befriend one. They see me as the enemy. They think of me as weak.
And they did. Beau was exiled when he left them. Their leader, Gairo, decided he'd either leave and be exiled forever, or stay and obey. The latter was not chosen, and Beau took his own course. It was difficult, and he went hungry a lot. He hunted in the scarce woodlands Florida would offer him, and usually his enhanced sense of smell would get the job done, along with his superb strength and speed. Sometimes, though, there would be humans nearby. Humans he shared his community with. He could not be seen hunting. Nor would he be seen going to his home. It was obvious by his house he wasn't normal.
He lived in a nice neighborhood, in a nice set of apartments. Well... under a nice set of apartments. He was allergic to sunlight, as were all others of his species, so he did all he could to stay protected. There was a staircase leading down, almost like a resturante you'd see in a busy city. He was generally safe, unless someone observed closer. His tiny windows were boarded up, there were eight locks on his door, and a big red 'X' was painted on the front. As much as he wanted to fit in, he didn't want any visitors.
Going out in the day time was difficult for him. Aside from having to cover his body in such heat, he'd need to be extra careful about everything he did. He'd need to be sure to have a vile of blood on him at all times for emergencies. He kept this around his neck, worn as a necklace, under his shirt. He'd need to cover up his pitch black eyes with blue colored contacts. His clothing would need to completely cover his skin, so if he dared to go out in the day he'd generally be seen with black jeans black boots, a black T-Shirt, and a black trench coat. Along his neck he wore a black scarf. Atop his messy brown hair he'd wear a black beanie. His eyes were covered with the most expensive brand of sunglasses he could find. Of course on the rest of his face he'd wear the strongest SPF sunscreen he could find, and kept it in his pocket to apply ever half hour or so. It did him good, but his cheeks were always redder than the rest of his body. His hands were always in the pockets of his coat. As for all the black, the sun absorbs in black the best, and would keep it away from his skin. It was rare he went out in the daytime anyways, though.
Generally, you would find him sulking the nighttime bare chested, vile of blood tucked inside his boots, along with his black pants.
That was the story right now. Beau had left home hours ago, and had been lurking the park for just a few hours. When he was alone like this he really thought about how things would be if he was still in the Clan. Sometimes he regretted his decisions, only because he was so damn alone, but it wasn't often. He was proud of his individuality, and he was living pretty normally. The humans around him had no idea he was different. If they'd ever see the monster side of him, though, things would be so much different, and he'd be slayed immediately, no doubt about it. He wondered why he hadn't yet... his presence had to be known, slayers weren't stupid.
For now, though, he'd sit idly at a picnic table, fondling the vile of blood in his hands. He always did this, fingered the bottle, imagining the taste. He hadn't had human blood in so long... the last time he'd encountered it was fighting one of the Clan off of a young teenager. The blood splashed onto his lips and he nearly lost it. His life was more complicated than any other Vampire he knew, with all of the responsibilities he'd taken on. He hid so many dark secrets though... The people he's killed... The crime's he's committed...
He also faced himself. Bisexual, and he hated it. He hated it with every ounce of his being. He was a monster, and he was raised with the hate for homosexuals, and he himself was what his father called a 'mut'. That was used in two ways now. He'd never admitted his lust for the other sex. He wouldn't. He couldn't. There were too many sides of himself he couldn't stand. His mind was a mess, and sometimes this drove him mad. He constantly faces outbursts of anger, depression, and sometimes schizophrenia. Generally, though, he was Beau Brighten, an undercover Vampire who really didn't know who he was, or what he was meant for.
He heard a rustling in the bushes and his head turned at breakneck speed, and his fangs descended. A rabbit came from the darkness, and he snarled. That would do nothing for someone his size. 205 pounds and 6'4"? There was no way.
