  SYNOPSIS

  Valkyrie arrives on the planet Neptune.

  She finally meets her father, the master of all vampires.

  Her life will be laced with blood...

  What she most wishes, she will never have because she has become an immortal...

  Chapter 1

  Neptune is the last planet in order of distance from the sun.

  It was named after the Roman god of the seas. Its symbol is a trident of the Roman god.

  It is the fourth largest planet in diameter and its interior is composed of ice and rocks.

  It has the strongest winds in relation to other planets in the solar system, due to its great distance from the sun.

  Its temperature is about 7000 ° C.

  The sky is covered by misty clouds.

  The sunlight does not reach its surface...

  Chapter 2

  My journey to the planet Neptune was very long, due to its extensive long distance. I arrived at the strange territory in Eros's arms. However, I was unconscious.

  I had no energy, not enough to take my trip from end to end even though I was completely awake. I closed my eyes from the beginning of my travel and I opened them towards the end.

  After all, I was still human.

  We were in an enormous living-room that could accommodate hundreds of families. That living room was dark. Clarity was possible only through lit torches on the walls. These walls were made of rocks.

  Eros walked slowly with me in his arms, as if he was taking a trophy, one which he would deliver to my father. He did not need to make any kind of effort for me to remain in his comfortable arms.

  Besides Eros, there were two more people in the hall and they stood, watching Eros approaching them.

  They were my father's servants. Their names were Valeska and Bizak.

  I had been carefully put on a smooth stone. The stone was dark gray and it looked like an antique marble. I remained there until I had woken up completely.

  “You managed!” Valeska said to Eros as she looked at him in surprise.

  “She will stay this way for a few hours,” Eros said and stared cautiously at my face.

  “She is beautiful!” Bizak said as he was enchanted at my beauty.

  Eros stared at Bizak with his narrowed eyes. He thought that was no time for stupidity.

  “She barely arrived here and you're coveting the girl,” Valeska alleged with a twinge of jealousy.

  “Well, I think he forgot whose daughter she is,” Eros said. His voice was insensitive and then he turned his back to them and stepped out of the living room, leaving me under the curious stares of two eccentric figures.

  Chapter 3

  Eros walked slowly into the huge corridor. He was going toward my father’s extensive bedroom. He looked excited to communicate to Vincent about my presence in the interior of his castle and prove to his master he had not failed in his mission.

  He stopped walking in front of a huge wooden door and knocked on the door announcing his arrival to his master.

  “Come in!” a voice coming from inside the room ordered him.

  Then Eros opened the door and entered the room. He closed the door behind him.

  Taking a quick look, he saw Vincent sitting on his armchair. His armchair had been sculptured especially in favor of him. This armchair had been made of stones.

  “You’re back!” Vincent said as he looked at his loyal servant.

  Eros stopped, standing still in the middle of the bedroom, seeing him sitting still on his usual seat.

  ***

  My father was in his rough-cloth robe, in a wine color. It was huge and when he walked his robe’s fabric would drag on the ground.

  “I just arrived now,” Eros informed his master.

  “My daughter?” Vincent asked inquisitive.

  “I brought her with me,” Eros answered.

  Vincent rose from his armchair and he looked vibrant at the news.

  “I always knew you wouldn't disappoint me! It was not by chance I chose you for this. No one would do it as well as you.” Vincent praised him.

  “She is still unconscious, but soon she will return to herself,” Eros supposed.

  “Where did you put her?” his master asked.

  “I put her in the great hall. Valeska and Bizak are with her,” he explained.

  “I'll wear appropriate clothing to receive her,” Vincent said, walking forward.

  “I'll rest. It has been a long time that I have not done this, Eros said and exited his master’s bedroom.

  Chapter 4

  When I opened my eyes, I saw two bizarre creatures looking at me with their curious eyes, as if they had never seen a human being in their lives.

  A young girl approached me first. She was the owner of an explicit sensuality. She was in her provocative tight dress, in an intense red color and her make-up was as heavy as her dress. Her appearance made me remember my friend Mirta.

  Her fire-red hair flowed down her neck. Her huge eyes were gray and her mouth was fleshy. Her skin was pale. In fact, she was a beautiful vampire.

  The boy beside her, I confess he also had his charm. He was strong and tall, his pale face was attractive as was his brown hair.

  Girls would definitely look at him. His eyes had the same characteristic, similar to Valeska’s eyes. They were gray too.

  I looked at all the corners of that living room and I missed something. Then I frowned at them as I was trying to find definitively what I was looking for, with my impatient eyes.

  “How are you?” Valeska asked me.

  My brain did not assimilate her question yet. I was still lying down. Then I lifted my head slightly and pronounced slowly...

  “EROS,”

  “Keep calm! He came with you,” she said in a friendly voice.

  “Whe
re’s he?” I asked feeling a discomfort that would not leave me unless Eros was there next to me.

  “He is talking to Vincent,” the boy answered.

  I slowly got up as I was a little dizzy. It seemed my body was out of my control.

  I realized I was barefoot and dirty, wearing the same dress from last night at the rock and roll concert. I just thought I was dreaming.

  “She looks dizzy,” the boy said, looking at his companion.

  “It is normal for her to look like this,” a voice coming from the corridor said behind them.

  An eccentric man came to where we were. As soon as I looked at him, I felt like I already knew him. He was the man from my childhood dreams. Although I did not see him clearly in those dreams, I knew it was him.

  He was very well dressed. He was in his wine-colored tunic and he also had rings on his fingers. His nails were extensive, his long hair was black as night and fell to the middle of his back. His pale skin and his gaze was stunning.

  My father was a handsome man. Now I knew why my mother had not resisted him that night. I thought I would come across an old man. He looked like a man of about thirty-five years. A man in his prime.

  Almost twenty years later he looked the same way. My mother on the other hand, had some smile lines and a few wrinkles, not to mention a few gray hairs that were lost in her scalp, those which she tried to hide from view with hair dye.

  I waited for this day for so long. That is, I wanted to be face to face with my father. I just thought this day would not be like this, in this place, on another planet.

  He was distant from me and looking at me.

  “My daughter!” He said, motioned and stretched his arms for me to come between them. I hesitated to do so. I had not got used to the idea that he really was my father.

  “Come on and give me a hug!” he insisted.

  I walked toward him. My steps were slow and it seemed I would never reach him. Before I realized it, I was surrounded by a paternal hug.

  “You’re part of me, Valkyrie,” he said to me.

  I continued hugging him for many minutes, until he let me go and looked intently at my face.

  “You look like me,” he said.

  I smiled at him without thinking of anything.

  “Your mother also helped you to be beautiful,” he said, still looking at me.

  “Won’t you say anything to your father?” Valeska asked.

  “Leave her!” my father ordered. “I'll have all time in Neptune to hear her,” Vincent said, upset.

  Valeska remained silent. Her mistake seemed like it was an offence to Vincent’s ears.

  “ ... My father ...” I said and my eyes were troubled because of the accumulation of my tears.

  “What a soft voice!” my father exclaimed as he was enchanted at it.

  My father introduced me to his two servants.

  VALESKA AND BIZAK

  My father was very pleased to point out that they were part of our family and they were there to serve me too.

  “Everything you need, Valeska and Bizak will be around to serve you,” he said and put his hand on my shoulder.

  “Valeska, take my daughter to have a bath!” he ordered.

  “Yes ... master.” She did what her master had ordered her.

  Valeska took me to a place I would call a type of bathroom.

  All castle rooms were extremely exaggerated, even the bathroom. It was approximately the size of the house where I lived with my mother on the planet Earth. There were no showers, taps or toilet. I was surprised at everything.

  I saw only lit torches and a huge hole in the ground. It looked like a lake with dark green liquid. This would be my bath water.

  Valeska took care of everything. She even helped me get rid of my dress. Then she took me to the hole with water, which I called ‘the lake’. My feet froze after I touched its water.

  When I felt the water covering all my body, my skin became lumpy. I was shocked. I had never had a bath in water as cold as that.

  “It's too cold!” I muttered.

  “You feel this way because your blood is hot!” she said and smiled wider, showing her teeth.

  I realized that they had no problem with it. After all, they were as cold as the water in which I took my bath.

  I came to a bedroom that was intended for me. My bedroom had huge curtains on the window and my bed was made of stone. There was no mattress. It looked like a marble table, that is, plain and cold...

  “There’s no pillow? ...Not even a bedspread?” I asked her as I glanced at all with my critical eyes.

  “We do not need anything like that,” she responded naturally.

  “Do you lie down on top of it?” I asked as I believed it to be a marble table. I could not avoid my disappointment at all.

  “There are several ways to sleep here. When you have become one of us, you will find yours,” she replied as she was staring at my frightened expression.

  I felt fear to hear those words, that in a little while I would be like them, whether I wanted it or not.

  I had no choice, that is, I just should accept my sad fate.

  She put me into a salmon-colored long dress. Its fabric was heavy and harsh. When she was zipping my dress behind me, she saw the picture on my back - the ‘Symbol of Neptune’.

  “You have it on your back!” she said and her eyes were upon my picture.

  I felt discomfort again coming over me.

  “My picture is situated here,” she said and showed me her tattoo. It was on her neck. I could see it as soon as she lifted up her hair, keeping it away from her neck.

  “All of us have one like this,” she said, turning to face me.

  “Why do all of us have it?” I asked her.

  “It was born on our bodies when we were chosen by your father to be part of his lineage,” she explained and looked at me with enthusiasm. “And it also protects us from the light, so we can go out in the daylight on the planet Earth”.

  “Now I understand why Eros was attending school in the mornings,” I said looking at the wall, as I was recalling scenes of Eros in school.

  “That would never be permitted if he couldn't contain the symbol of Neptune on his body,” she affirmed.

  Valeska was proud of being a vampire. She tried to do everything with passion and served my father diligently. She was grateful to him for all he had done in his life and mainly grateful that he turned her into a vampire.

  Chapter 5

  We returned to the main room in the castle. The place was empty, my father and Bizak were not there. Then we stopped in the center of the room without knowing what to do.

  “Where are they?” I asked, looking from side to side.

  “Probably they are resting. If you let them, they sleep all the time.” She smiled. “A good sleep helps to restore our energies and we ‘vampires’ need too much,” she explained.

  “Where’s ... Eros?” I hesitated to pronounce his name.

  “He is reposing, too,” she said and cast me a suspicious look.

  Valeska asked me to accompany her to the other room of the castle. She wanted to show me something. However, she would not tell me what it was.

  We walked in silence through the castle corridor.

  “Make no noise; we vampires have very acute hearing. We hear any noise at several miles away and hate to be interrupted when we are asleep,” she warned me.

  I did exactly what she said and then we walked softly on tiptoe, as if any person would surprise us at any instant. She stopped in front of a dark door and I stopped walking behind her.

  “Not a word,” I was warned before she opened the door and went inside.

  We entered a dark room with no light whatsoever. There were only walls and some objects.

  In the dark I could not exactly see it with any clarity. We stopped in the middle of the room. Valeska looked up at the ceiling and gestured with her head at me. Consequently, I did the same and I looked up at the ceiling just like she di
d. What I saw amazed me.

  Eros was sleeping with his head down as his body was hanging from his bedroom ceiling. His hands were crossed on his chest.

  At that moment he looked like a bat sleeping with its head down.

  Valeska pulled my arm to her so we left his room at that moment before he could wake up.

  We stopped walking in the hallway, as soon as we got out of Eros's room. I leaned my body against the wall, thinking of that creature with his head down. Everything he did, in my view, was fascinating.

  “What did you think of how he sleeps?” Valeska asked me.

  “I was surprised. I've never seen anyone sleeping like that...with their head down like a bat.” I honestly answered.

  “You know that’s ‘vampires’ because normal people will never sleep that way,” she said.

  “Sometimes I forget you are ...”

  “Creatures from Darkness,” she interrupted me and completed my phrase with her right words.

  “How did you become a vampire?” I asked her.

  “The right question is… when did your father turn me into a vampire?” she said.

  We progressed toward the hallway while she narrated her facts.

  “I had always been a troubled person. I had never lived well or got along with my parents ... and with my brothers. Then one day ... I decided to leave home ...” she explained.
