I

Blood binds us. No matter what.

My name is Venus Collins. My brother Barnabas was my everything. And all I had.

We were not just siblings, we were friends. And maybe even more than that.

I lost him in a tragic incident after he chose someone else over me. The townspeople had their rumors, but I never listened to them...

I was left devastated for years. I'm still not over it now, after three centuries...

I still hope for him to come back. Will he come back?

I'd say, read it and find out.
