About This Story


We all grew up reading fairy tales, stories and wives tales about creatures that walk or have walked this earth, both good and bad. Vampires, witches, werewolves and ghosts, yet we were always led to believe these things did not truly exist and only the outcome of overly vivid imaginations of the authors who had dreamed them up. Still there are those out there who believe they exist, that these creatures walk among us, live with us, eat, converse and breathe with us. In a world where one does not know what it is they should believe, one thing is certain, we never really know what lurks in the darkness.

At least not many of us do. Keriann Kavanagh, however, knows all too well what lurks in the darkness. After living a life of secretly protecting people from that darkness which nearly caused her own death, she swore it off completely, seeking refuge in a small town not too far from where she grew up. After her mother disappears, she returns home and an all too familiar face shows up on her doorstep, with a few secrets of his own. Someone who can help lead her in the right direction to finding her mother. Keriann makes it known that she had put that life she was born into behind her, he pulls out the only bargaining chip he has to help her make a decision. Information.

With an extremely tumultuous past with this man Keriann never thought she would find herself joining forces with him again, but with the question of her mother's safety hanging in the balance, he leaves her with no choice. Keriann re-enters her families world once more, taking on an oath to serve and protect those in danger, no matter who or what it is they are, hoping that her path will lead her to her mother. She knows only two things that have proven to be unequivocally true. That no matter what you may be, past the surface we are all one in the same. We all have something that drives our force of life, we all strive for something better, for happiness, for knowledge, for truth and love. And we all shelter ourselves, under one moon.
