Paris France 1760

Adrien nervously fiddled with the engagement ring in his pocket as he waited patiently at the balcony of his manor. The blonde haired young man had worn his best suit and had picked the most perfect day to pop the question. Then she finally arrived, Marinette Dupain-Cheng the love of his life dressed in pink and lace wtih her dark hair braided with sliver.

"You wanted to see me my Darling?" She asked.

"Yes." He said happily. "Marinette I love you, with all my heart."

"I know silly." She giggled. "You've told me this so many times."

"Which is why it shouldn't surprise you that I'm going to ask you this."

He pulled a gold ring encrusted with little diamonds a blue heart shaped sapphire in the middle from his pocket and slid it on her finger. Her blue eyes shimmered at the sight of it and she looked at him in shock.

"Will you marry me?"

She was speechless which made him nervous but then she smiled and nodded.

"I want to but I have heard that you have had affairs before me, is it true? And please be honest for I cannot be the wife of a dishonest man."

"I have been with other women before you that's true and they have been fleeting but I have never proposed to any of them."

"Promise me that you will love no other but me."

"My lady no other holds my heart." He swore.

"And promise me that we will always be together."

"As God as my witness I promise you that no matter what happens, no matter where we are or how long it takes I will always find a way back to you." He vowed.

"Then of course I'll marry you."

The happy couple kissed each other passionately, it seemed that everything would be perfect for them. But life can be so cruel sometime, for most of the women Adrien fooled around with there was one imparticular he should have avoided all together. Lila was a maid from Italy who had set her heart on the young man for many years. They had a fling once but for Adrien it was just giving in to brief lust.

"It can't be true." She said to him. "Tell me that you are not to wed."

"I am sorry Lila but Marinette and I are going to be married by next spring." He said.

"It is a lie! I know you Adrien Agreste you love me."

"Lila what happened between you and me was just a mistake I am regretful that I have broken your heart but I love Marinette and I will love no other not even after death."

"No! It was more than just a drunken state! You lusted for me! Are you really going give yourself to some modest virgin? She'll never give herself to you the little fool."

"I will not have you insult my love! I apologize for the pain I have inflicted on you but I will not choose you out of pity."

If only Adrien hadn't of gotten involved with her or if only he had kept his engagement a secret but Lila was not just some common servant. Unfortunately she knew witchcraft and she was determined to have him to herself no matter what it cost. It happened on Widow's Peak, Marinette uncontrollably walked toward the edge of the cliff. Adrien desperately ran after her hoping and praying to God above that he would make it in time.

"Marinette!" He called.

She stopped at the edge and turned to him. Her face was blank and stiff with no emotion but tears were streaming down from her eyes. It was a struggle but she managed to whisper something to him.

"I love you."

Her final words before being forced to jump off. Adrien's heart stopped at the sight of his beloved falling to her death. Grief stricken, he attempted to commit suicide by jumping after her but for some reason he survived the fall. He turned to Marinette her eyes closed forever and her body pale and cold. The gold ring turned black the smaller jewels turned green, and the sapphire heart turned bright red. He took the girl in his arms and wept inconsolably. He looked up to see Lila standing above the cliff smiling.

"You Witch!" He howled. "This changes nothing! I swear to God above I will never be yours!"

She frowned and twisted her fingers. The young man felt his body changed and morph in a horrific way. His nails became black claws, he grew fangs, and glowing green eyes with slits.

"What have you done?!"

She had cursed him to be a vampire so he couldn't be with Marinette even in death. To make his suffering grow she turned to people of France against him.

"There he is!" Lila pointed out. "There's the monster! He's a killer! Look what he's done to his own fiancé!"

The angry mob saw the dead girl in Adrien's arms they were horrified. They roped and chained him up then forced him into a coffin where he was confined and buried alive deep underground, trapped for God knows how long. For many years he tried to break free but it was a futile effort. However during his time he vowed revenge on the woman who sent him to an eternal hell on earth.
