Description

And something inside of Kaleb broke. The stress of the night, of his life, welled up, washing away his sanity. There had been too many lifetimes spent alone, of being a walking nightmare and trying to deny it for every single moment of his cursed existence. Tonight, the illusion had been dispelled, and the realizations left him hollow. Tonight, he had met monsters, real ones, and even they recoiled at the sight of him.

A monster hides in plain sight, feeding off of humanity while yearning to return to it. He was to have been an immortal undead, to have power and strength like he'd never known in mortal life. The Vampyrs lied. They took his life, but when he awoke he was not a Vampyr. He was something else, a creature so foul they abandoned him to die alone in a crypt deep underground. Kaleb survived by skulking in the shadows and preying on the dregs of society.

Until now. In one moment of carelessness, a young woman witnesses Kaleb's atrocities. Unable to kill her, Kaleb takes the girl hostage, and that's when his life begins to crumble around him. When the local ruling Vampyr clan realizes what is living in their midst, they come in force to destroy Kaleb and wipe every last trace of his existence from the face of the earth.
