It is dark, and cold. I don't know what time it is, to my eyes it is merely dim. Adjusting the swords at my sides I sigh quietly. Guard duty is so very boring, especially compared to my usual duties: stalking and assassination. However I am the best at what I do hence the guard duty.
I am known simply as Shadow Guard. The only thing that distinguishes me from the other shadow guards is that I am the captain of the guards. The other is my malady, I am a vampire, not the kind from books and T.V. I can go out in daylight it merely hurts my eyes, to protect them I wear special goggles that essentially block out the sun.
The main reason I dislike my particular guard assignment is that I may only give instruction and mustn't have any other interaction, that however makes this job harder. The only fun thing about this assignment is that I cannot be seen. So far this assignment has been relatively uneventful, having only had to deal with one threat against my charge, when the threat was terminated everyone ran in a panic. (insert evil laugh here if you wish)
No one is allowed into my charge's chamber, she is called a charge as I do not have a name by which to call her. I guard her chamber from without.
"something is wrong" I mutter softly in the dark. Hearing a very faint noise near the door to my charges room I calmly draw symbols on the floor in my blood causing a faint pulse, and the lights flash on freezing all beings in the room in place. Low and behold my charge is attempting to sneak out. 'so this may get interesting after all' I think.
" what are you doing? You know you are supposed to tell me if you wish to go somewhere. " I said in disappointment.
" I do not have to tell you anything guard. Now release me and guard my chamber. " she hisses in outrage.
" I cannot do that, I do not take your orders ma'am. The only orders I follow are from the king or the royal family." I say sternly.
"I can and will give you orders, now move or I will make you." She says vehemently glaring at me.
