I am a simple barn hand
I once had a rather large band
they all left and none of them listened to my message
my tale was a presage
A message of bad events to come if they did not change their ways
but they refused to see through their haze
they all fell one by one
If they had only listened none of that would have been done.
here is my tale
you would do well to listen in detail


Kaen was a quiet girl
Her short raven hair she did twirl
She worked as a barn hand
She was kind to the land
Her horses were her pride
They were the only ones on her side
She would spend countless late nights just sitting with the horses and watching the stars
When she was anywhere else the world felt like bars
As a child she had many friends
Once she got older it all came to an end
her close friends either moved away
or left her behind without letting Kaen have any say.

One night what some people would call a mythical creature
would soon become Kaen's teacher
A vampire out on the prowl
he heard Kaen howl
she cut her hand on the roof of the barn as she climbed up to look at the sky
He could smell her blood and then he knew why
he was drawn to her, attached by fiat
once he knew this he could no longer wait.
He landed swiftly behind her with a slam
Kaen shot up scarred and resisted the urge to scram
His eyes were green like a thousand trees
his eyes locked with hers which were like a thousand blue seas
Kaen's fear subsided and for some reason she trusted this creature of the night
"who are you? you gave me quite a fright."
Her voice was still a bit shaky and scared
"I am Christan"he said with his fangs slightly barred
"with knowing so little of me I ask you this:
do you trust me miss?"
Kaen knew not why but she did trust him.
She took a step froward and the stars seemed to dim
"My name is Kaen and, Christan I trust you but I know not why"
"then take my hand and from here we shall fly"
Kaen thought for a second
Christan once again beckond
She took his hand tightly in her own
she felt attached to him even with so little known.
He took her to a tower that was so very tall
The room inside made her feel small
The walls were draped with silks of red
and at the center of the room was a beautiful bed.

" sit my dear,"
he pointed to the bed,"you have nothing to fear"
her strides were long and relaxed
her eyes on the floor she couldn't help but notice it looked waxed
She sat quietly her eyes still locked on the floor
" you tell me you trust me but do yo not wish to know more?"
His voice crawled through Kaen like a warm wave
"It was you I was meant to save."
"save? save from what?"
Kaen got a knot of fear in her gut
"Werewolves" he said in a serious tone
" you are not meant to fight on your own"
Christan took her hand in his
"you will make a choice soon and it is..."
He tailed a bit and then looked into her eyes
"to become like me and claim your prize.
You are a half breed,
And if it is what it takes, for you I shall bleed.
Iwill make you a full blood vampire if you so choose"
Kaen loked down for a moment then up with a look or refuse.
"I will protect the place where I call home" She stood
"now if ou would.."
She trailed a bit then exposed her neck to him
he looked at her and he loked grim.
"are you sure?"
" To be at my strongest I must be pure"
It was at that moment he knew she was certin of her future and ready to accept it
He took a deep breath and in went his fangs, each makeing a small slit
She winced a bit and her veins ran cold
She collapsed in his arms and opened her eyes of gold
"you are now a full breed,
and I have done my deed"
He helped her to her feet
"Now quickly we must go but keep your new powers discreet"
"I must warn them and save the horses"
"Come now Kaen we will save your dear horses now as we join forces."
Cristan took her hand and with no delay they tok off towards Kaens home
Kaen ran into the barn and grabbed the phone
She called all those around her and told them to prepare for a battle that would shake this place
But no one belived that to be the case.
They called her a liar
None of them took the preacautions they require.
After call after call of people denying her
She vanished with a blur
She rounded up the horses and brought them to a safe place
then she reappeared in front of christan's face
"They are all fools"
She spat out her words as she began to gather tools.
" I will defend this barn and they will all perish for their mistake
they will rue this day when the ground dose quake"
"Kaen, I will fight beside you.
I turned you so I will help you in whatever you do."

And that night an epic battle ensued and all those unprepared were slain
After a bloody night of fighting, defeat, triumph and pain,
A gentle rain fell upon the barn a the day broke upon the land
Kaen an Cristan ha took a stand
They defeated the werewolves and won
but all the others fell and there was no one left, none

The moral of the story is to listen to those around you
you never know who around you is true
and who is truly your friend
and those who shall always defend
