The World has changed, everything you once knew has vanished, leaving behind
a world of anarchy and chaos. The only thing that was able to be saved was
the technology your forefathers had created, and with this they developed us.
I wonder if you remember that TV series Dark Angel. Well funny thing that, Max
and her Manticore transgenic siblings were based upon us. But stop and listen,
we weren't just produced with cat or dog DNA, we are a mix of the things you
fear at night. We are part vampire. We were the original freaks of this world,
cloaked in darkness and forgotten about. The purpose we were built for never
stopped and all of our creators were killed. We were left behind to fend
for ourselves amidst the war. The third war of the world.
PROLOGUE
Lacroix Labs, California, 25th March 1998
"Please, please don't do this to me, don't do this to my baby!"
The silver haired man smirked and turned around to face the screaming woman,
"Lana my dear, please desist. You agreed with the contract 9 months ago, I
can assure you that the child will be utterly safe in our hands."
Lana cradled her swollen belly and sobbed, rocking herself gently against the wall
she was chained to. She snapped her head up as the metal door clicked open, frantically
she craned her neck to look at the scientist filling up needles to her left.
As the door clicked open, Doctor David Herald turned around to face the door, two guards
shuffled in holding a set of chains in which another man appeared. However his face sent
the pregnant woman into her second screaming fit.
"What the fuck is that, you can't let that monster anywhere near my baby!"
Doctor Herald smirked again, "This is no monster Lana, this is a vampire. Lacroix found this
one personally and Marcus here had no problem donating his DNA to our willing cause."
Lana frowned and stuttered, "You mean my child will be a vampire? You mean my child will
be evil?"
Doctor Herald tutted, "Lana I'm beginning to get tired of this. Marcus Orelia is one of
our finest specimens. The child will most likely be one of our most brilliant soldier
creations,what with Orelia's DNA and your beauty. Lacroix himself thought of this project,
rumours suggest they will be the V line. Lacroix's personal army they say. Now Lana dear,
isn't this the brilliant life you want the child to be brought into."
Lana screamed once more and shook her head. However this only made Doctor Herald shrug
and turn to fill up another needle. "Well life's a bitch."
The man in chains was thrust forward, nose to nose with Lana he laughed. Doctor Herald
walked forward and injected Lana, "This my dear will help combine the DNA." He nodded at
the man in chains and without warning he sunk his fangs into Lana's neck. Marcus ripped
his fangs out just as quickly as he had sunk them in, he smiled in delight and licked
his lips before grabbing Lana's delicate wrist. Doctor Herald then inserted a needle and
tube to Marcus' vein before doing the same to Lana. Doctor Herald and Marcus both watched
in interest as Marcus' blood flowed into Lana's veins, hopefully transferring to the
unborn child.
No more than a minute later, a gush of water appeared between Lana's legs. Doctor Herald
and his team prepared for the arrival of the child while the man in chains was taken away.
This was a short labour, with the child being born a mere 10 minutes after Lana's waters
had broken. After the infant had slithered from her uterus, Lana died and the baby girl was
taken away and trained to be a soldier. She was referred to as L-9801, the number tattooed
on her wrist as soon as she could breathe. But inside her ranks she was known as Buffy,
leader of the V line and eldest of all eight products.
As the infant wailed in her bassinet, Nate Lacroix watched over his most desired prodigy.
He had been designing this specific soldier before Lacroix labs had even begun. Product
L-9801 was going to be the best of the best, she was going to be a ruthless killing
machine and she was going to be unstoppable. He hoped that the DNA exchange had worked
and that Marcus Orelia's DNA was as good as he thought it was. If not, he could try again.
But Lacroix was no fool and he always had the right feeling about his plans. He knew with all
his being that L-9801 or Buffy as he would call her was going to be the chosen one. The one
Lacroix labs had been waiting for. The soldier that was going to destroy the government and
make Lacroix one rich bastard.
The nursery door opened and a nurse wheeled in another bassinet. Lacroix smiled, "Ah I guess
this must be L-9802, a boy as I had been hoping for. Although I fear he may not be as
great as Buffy here. I think I shall call him Daniel."
The nurse nodded, "I think he may be a wild one sir, as he was born he ripped the uterus
lining of his mother with his fingernails. Although they seen to have retracted now. May
I ask what his DNA is sir?"
Lacroix lifted his head from looking at Buffy. "He is part wolf as well as having
the typical L series vampire DNA as his mother had recently been bitten by Henry Ridgen
that famous werewolf, but I think we may have to refer to him as werewolf from now on." He
laughed.
The nurse nodded awkwardly and exited the room, minutes later returning with two other nurses
and 4 more bassinets. Lacroix waited until all eight of his L-98 line were in the nursery
and he walked round each bassinet naming the child and discussing with the nurses why each
one was so important.
Lacroix was so excited with his results, he threw open his product diary and proceeded to
write down his new prodigy.
L-9801 (Elizabeth): Part Vampire
L-9802 (Daniel): Part Vampire *notes* Mother had been bitten by WereWolf
L-9803 (Alexander): Part Vampire

L-9805 (Faith): Part Vampire
L-9806 (Liam): Part Vampire

Lacroix set down his diary and looked over at Elizabeth once more. She was definatly
going to be special. She was his and he was going to make sure that she never failed.
