The other Lures, Gabriel and Calisto make me sick! They dress up in their Nostromo wanna be outfits and prance around like Royal creatures of Darkness! They pretend to take each other over and over and over... well, actually Gabriel is the only one doing the taking. They are not Vampires! They told me they were practicing their bite then Gabriel pushed me up against the wall! If we didn't have to wear these horrible Chastity Collars he probably would've bitten my neck and drained my precious blood. I don't know why Calisto lets him do all those shameless things to him...

Gabriel belongs to Darius, Armand's second. I think Gabriel has been with Darius for a long time but I don't really know.  Gabriel keeps bragging about how Darius is gonna make him into a Vampire...but he won't...

...I know.

Darius, Xavier and Armand want us like this...because with youth comes the fervor and passion of LIFE for LIFE... Human life, the one thing which  all  Nostromo crave. But our lives in the body of a Lure only tease their insatiable appetite, reminding them every moment of the life that has escaped them....and how they love to suffer in the perverse wanting of that which they shall never have! We are but foreplay for the Nostromo's wicked desires.

Gabriel gets wild like Xavier! He pushes me around and makes me do things I don't like doing!  Then he enjoys punishing me when I do it! Did I mention how much I hate the restraints our masters have us wear? Yes...restraints! I told Gabriel I was gonna tell Armand and he dared me to do it! He knew I wouldn't...I don't want to start trouble here. I am new to this dark family and I know my life carries no worth as a Lure. Besides, I'd have to have some proof or I'd be taken instantly...TAKEN...not a human...not a Vampire...just not!

Armand has been meeting with Xavier and Darius in a renovated oubliette beneath the far dungeon...they are up to something but I dare not ask. Maybe one day I'll find that reckless abandon that Gabriel carries so boldly and I too shall uncover the dirty secrets within this terrible home...

...or perhaps I'll find someone who will embrace me with a true wanting for devout companionship...

...love.

My name is Tristan.

I exist somewhere between life and death within the great Castle Nostromo. I am a Lure, not human and not yet a mature Vampire.

I have been chosen against my will to become Armand's paramour. Though I surrender my chaste body and blood to nourish this egotistical relationship that Armand forces upon me, he denies me the one thing I so desire....love.

I remember, long ago or so it seems, when I lived amongst the humans as one of them. I felt sadness, happiness and love with the all  of the warmth and passion that only a human can know, experience

With one kiss, Armand took me away from the beautiful world of light...

... and from that kiss and with each one that follows, I become his acquisition, his possession... an eternal servant of his lust, bound to him  by my blood.

Armand, my fated inamorato...

...will I ever be able to truly love again...love of my own free will?
