Cirque Du Freak

Larten Crepsley

You had died. Larten, your brother by all means other than blood, had killed you in a duel after realizing that you had killed his first true human love. You didn't blame him, you had basically manipulated him into hating Vampanese by putting the blame on one. He felt the pain and hatred you felt when the vampanese Murlough killed your entire family except you. And you were grateful, to an extent, that he wanted you to die honorably. You were killed on top of the tallest building in New York during the 70's, with your arm being severed and being stabbed in the chest. Your last words were, "I love you" to larten, since he was your brother. You were buried on the outskirts. in a shallow, unmarked grave.

But you somehow came back. You awoke two weeks after, digging yourself up with one remaining arm. It was day, and the sun burned your skin like fire. You quickly found shelter in an abandoned house and tried to think of how this happened. Nothing came to mind, but you made a promise that day: you would always protect Larten, even if he thought you were dead, to atone, though you knew that was impossible.

Now, you watch as Larten trains his assistant, Darren Shan, to be a full-fledged vampire, not at all seen or heard.
