SPOILER ALERT SPOILER ALERT SPOILER ALERT SPOILER ALERT

Part 1: Larten Crepsley is part of a poor family. At the age of 3 his cousin, Vur Horston, was orphaned and was adopted by Larten's parents. The two, being around the same age, soon become best friends. They go to work at the age of 8 in a factory. Their cruel overseer, Traz, came up with a clever solution to know where all his workers needed to be, and to make sure they stay there. He dyes the children's hair blue, yellow, or orange. Though Larten was born a ginger, didn't you? One particularly tense day he was partrolled up and down the isles, looking for the slightest error in anyone's work. After beating through a few people he came to Vur. After a few snide comments to him about his mother working in "inns" (prostitute), Vur completely lost it and started fighting with Traz, something no one has ever done before. A short while later Traz dumps Vur into a pot of boiling water and holds him under. Larten tries to intervine but Traz knocks him on the head before he could rescue his cousin. Vur drowns in the water. Larten pulls him out but it was too late. In a mad fury Larten picks up the first thing he finds on the ground and stabs Traz in the neck. He is stunned by what he did, but wastes no time getting the hell out of there. Larten travels a bit but ends up having to seek shelter in a graveyard, more specificly, a crypt. Upon entering he realizes all his past fears of ghosts and demons coming to get him are silly. Just as he starts to settle a creature reveals himself. The "demon" is all red and is hanging off of the wall. Larten almost completly high tails it before the creature asks him to stay. This creature, if you haven't figured it out yet, is Seba Nile. Seba offers Larten to become his human assistant for a while to determine whether he wants to really become a vampire or not. Seba leaves to hunt, while Larten ponders the choice he must make.
