Full Summary:

Vampires were once stories told to scare young children into behaving by their parents. But after a devastating war where the Black Rose gas was released onto the world, instead of killing its victims, they were instead cursed... with increased strength... a deadly reaction to sunlight... and an insatiable thirst for blood. In this world, a young warrior finds herself in charge of looking after and caring for a set of twins who were also cursed by this gas. She must now protect them as they work for a way to reverse the effects. But how can one do that when they must remain hidden from the sun's rays in a world that is torn apart by creatures of the night? With the people's fear growing, the curse spreading, and hunters on every foot of their trail, her vow to keep her young charges safe grow more perilous with every hour. But she has to do it... she must protect them... for she was the only family that they had left... and they... hers.

Author's Note:

Of Vampires and Royals

Hello everyone! Thank you and welcome back to another story! For fans of mine who already know, I have written several FF14 stories but those were all from POV of the characters in the game and how I imagine that they might feel going through the story. This time though, I am doing something completely different. I had been wanting to write a Halloween/All Saint's Wake story but with the Scions all currently in the first and with holidays currently on the back burn in that world, I didn't think it possible. So, after a lot of thinking, I will be putting a slight hold over my series as I work on something purely for fun.

This story will be taking place in an Alternate Universe however, please be warned about that. Many people and places will be in this story, but they will be adjusted to how I see fit. It will also be mainly a story with Claire, yes I will be using Claire in this story, and with the twins.

But because I wanted to have a slight 'Halloween feel' to the whole thing, I decided to add several ghosts and vampires into this story as well. I know it sound strange, but I had so much fun thinking it up that I couldn't wait to put it up.

I am sorry for not putting up any chapters for my Shadowbringers Story, but I desperately needed a break from that and I hope that you will be enjoying this story until I feel up to writing chapters again. Don't worry for you Alphinaud and Alisaie fans bonding with the Warrior of Light/Darkness because there will be plenty of that in this story as well.

Anyway, I felt that it was time that I do something a little different and I hope that you all are going to enjoy it! And for those of you who read my work on Fanfiction, you know that this isn't my first vampire romance story… I just hope that you are looking forward to what I have in mind. And if anyone has any suggestions, please feel free to let me know!
