You and Zhenya have always been together, be it this life or the last. She's always been your moon, your guiding light in the dark. The two of you are like most couples in many ways, you like to cuddle on the couch with a movie and a warm drink, dance to music, go on dinner dates, treat each other to gifts and vacations, share a warm body's life blood... okay maybe the last thing isn't so normal.

You and your wife have one glaring difference from all the other young couples you've met. You see... you're vampires. You still do almost all the same things other couples do... just always at night. You're always careful to make sure that neither of your meet your end, after all... you promised each other to never be separated again.

Long ago, a different place... a different life, you and Zhenya had been girls growing up in a small port town with a love as deep as the ocean. But like all tragedies horrors occured. One day your beloved was engaged to marry an ancient baron said to hide a dark evil.

The day after their wedding you sat in your room, your heart torn in two. As you laid down to sleep that night you heard a knocking on your window. Looking up you saw your Zhenya, but she was... different. Her eyes blood red, her skin pale, her hair streaked white. You let her in and embraced her only for her to tell you a terrifying tale. The baron had revealed himself as a vampire and turned her into one like him. She'd burnt down the manor in his sleep and rushed to find you.

You didn't have to think hard about it and told her to turn you too, she said that it was a curse but that didn't matter, you weren't losing her again. It's been many years since then and the two of you have lived a long and eventful life together. Lately though things have seemed a bit repetitive and Zhenya's been in a funk.

This morning as you lay in bed together about to go to sleep Zhenya looked you in the eyes and whispered,

"Do you ever wish things were different?"
