Chapter 1
Mai Jane White, that was my real name it’s been 20 years since I have used that name and have been human. I am a Dragon of the Night, and this is my story. In about 1981 I was sixteen years old just a normal teenager living in a small town of Pennsylvania. I remember this night clearly it was a long winter that year. Coming home from my friend’s Maggie ‘s house I decided to go through De jour Park. This park was a short cut to my home. The park could sometimes be filled with homeless or maybe dangerous drug addicts. Usually if you walked fast with your head up nobody would bother you
Something, a Creature, an Asian Man came out of the Sky and lunched and attacked me and bit at my neck . Then he vanished. When I came home I was in a state of hysteria, confused and sacred. I couldn’t stop shaking and crying, my lips and teeth Shaked as well . It was like I was living a nightmare. I closed my door in the house rapidly, locked it and then ran upstairs into my bathroom and turned on the tub. Opened the medicine closet and put some bandages on my neck. The wounds needed stiches but I was afraid to go to the hospital who was, going to believe me.
As I laid in the tub blood dripped down from the bandages. I stayed in the tub trying to make sense out of it all ,but I couldn’t. I got out of the tub released the water. Went to my bedroom and got into my night clothes and went to bed.

I woke up and rushed to the bathroom to see if my neck was bleeding profusely like it was the other night. The wounds disappeared. Was I dreaming was this one big Nightmare?
My Mother and Father who I called Bob were in the Vets Rehabilitation Center healing Bob’s alcoholism; they would be in the Vets Rehabilitation Center for a Month. I was to Fend for myself for a month. I am a product of an American Marine Vietnamese Veteran and a Vietnamese mother he fell in love and brought home to America to marry.

The Bridge
I was on the bridge and you yelled out to me , thought I was going to jump. I was waiting for the Sunset to Rise. You took me to your home Omar. You wrapped me in a blanket , so kind to me. We sat in your cozy living room listening to Old Nina Simone Records . Not only did I think you were handsome , I thought you to be kind. You asked me my name and said “Veronica”.
“Veronica why, are you trying to commit suicide?”
“ I have done to many awful things in my life -tired of running away from my past “
“ Veronica, sure it’s things in your life worth living -suicide isn’t the answer to your problems”
“ My problems are sight bigger than you think, you shouldn’t bring a Stranger in your house Omar, I might be a Killer or Something”
“ Pretty thing like you Veronica, I doubt you’re a Killer”
I laughed “ You have no idea .”
“ Do you have an address, let me take you home”
“ I don’t have a home, I haven’t a home since I was a teenager , I just have places to sleep “
“ Are you on Drugs , are you homeless, or are your some kind of Prostitue?”
“No Omar. I ran away from home when I was a teenager, never considered any place I stayed home “
“ Let me take you home”
“Ok”
Next morning, Omar came by my Studio apartment. I’m nocturnal vampire . I heard him knock. I had no urge to feed off Omar he was so cute he reminded me of Anthony my first Seduction and Feed. I can’t do this to this Nice African American Man. “
Night time, came Dragons of the Night don’t sleep in coffins. Omar came by my Studio Apartment again knocking. I had nothing on put a T-shirt and Panties on still in Shape Shifting form of Veronica a Latino woman. I opened the door.
“ Omar.”
“ Hi Veronica, I wanted to see if you were okay? After last night on the bridge. “
“Yes, I am fine. Somebody as Gorgeous as yourself, don’t you have a girlfriend to go home too?”
“I’m Single. I just broke up with my girlfriend 2 months ago- do you want to go out for a bite to eat”
“ I’m not hungry Omar, I don’t think it’s a good idea you coming around here anymore, I don’t want you to get hurt”
“ I usually say that to women. Let me take you out somewhere , where do you want to go?”
“ Okay. Omar. Take me back to your place . I want to listen to those Nina Simone Albums again.”
Omar smiled . “ I wait for you to get dressed- Just be honest with me and I won’t get hurt”
He took me back to place and I haven’t feed in a month. I haven’t had human sex in 10 years, looking forward to it – it has to be Special. Omar was really good looking African American man.
I seduced him for the whole night. Sunset came and I slept at Omar’s apartment all day. Omar was really good in bed he made love to be all night.
I woke up and tried to leave- I didn’t want to feed off him Omar begged me stay over his apartment again.
“Honesty. Omar. There are some people looking for me , I used to be involved in some really bad Shit.
“ Were you in a Gang or Something, I have a Gun in my closet if some fools are after you”
“A Gun won’t work. Did you ever hear of such a thing as Vampires”
“What are talking about Veronica, are you on drugs ?”
I walked into the Kitchen, and took a Machete from kitchen drawer and Cut my throat”
Omar screamed” What the Hell are you doing!”
The Wound healed in 2 minutes.
Like a Said Omar. I’m a Vampire
“What kind I shit did I get myself into”
I told you Omar, I am Trouble-I am trying really hard not to feed off of you .Your so Handsome and Nice.
First Kill
Bob was in rehab -I was home alone again. I was lonely and felt with emotions because of that attack in De Jour Park a few weeks ago. I stayed over my friends Maggie house during the End of the Month, it was a Full Moon. I figured I was mensurating, I felt strange all over my body. I was starving and food could not aide the hunger. Maggie, I cared about her, the last thing I wanted to do to my best friend was hurt her. I was in so much pain and fell out of the bed onto the floor.
Maggie reached out to me in the dark and asked me gently as she touched my shoulder
“Mei, Mei are you okay?”
I couldn’t help myself; I lashed out towards Maggie’s throat and savagely drank from her body until Maggie fell on the floor in her bedroom dead.
I couldn’t remember anything after that I blacked out and ended up back at my house. That was the last place I called home. I packed up as many clothes as I could and ran away that night.
The Police filed a Missing Report for myself & pinpointed the Case to Maggie’s Death. It was all over the News and inside the Newspaper. Little Town News the Murder of Maggie Lebrowski and the disappearance of Mai Jane White 1971. It was a Cold Case that Never was Solved. Assume my Parents announced me dead in 1983.
I left my small town in Pennsylvania and wandered feeding off the homeless.
I ended up somewhere in Ohio, another smalltown. I was drawn to Ohio and a house that was very
Victorian like. I knocked on the door, and an Asian woman in her 50s answered the door. The woman knew my name she said
“I been expecting you Mei Nguyen, I am sure you have questions?”
I entered this older Asian woman’s home with my bag of clothes, I will always remember the smell of the Victorian House it smelt like Moth Balls and Lavender probably to cover up the smell of the Dragon of the Night. I never had the smell of the Dragon it’s a detectable smell to summon other Dragons of the Night.
Who are you ? I asked
“ I am Jane Meng, I am like you a Dragon of the Night. An Asian Vampire descent . You have been bitten by a rogue apprentice of mine named Liu Chang. I telepathically drawing you from Pennsylvania to Ohio. Your frightened and confused, you must stay here to learn the ways of our Clan the Dragons of the Night. Mei Nguyen, I been waiting for you. My brother has ate you into immortality. Dry off , Mei Nguyen and drop your clothes in the bathroom , there are more fresh clothes waiting for you. I will explain what you have become.
I did what Jane Meng demanded of myself, I went into the bathroom and freshen up and changed my clothes in the bathroom. I can always remember the smell in that house, smelt of Moth Balls and perfume of Jane Meng.
“ Explain, all this to me Jane, what have I become?” I asked of her
“ You are a Dragon of Night, an Asian Vampire unlike our European counterparts we can last months without feeding off human blood, at the First of the Moon we savagely feast and can alter into Dragons”
“ Who, created us Dragon of Night?” I asked Jane Meng.
“ It was a long time ago in Vietnam, and China a group of Magicians created the Undead Zombies like ourselves we needed Blood , human blood to survive to feed the Dragon within us”
“Your brother you mentioned, what became of him?”
“ He travels throughout Vietnam and Asia, feasting on young women like yourself, he isn’t never to mentioned again, he perverse in his ways, unlike most Dragons”
“ I am tired , where can I sleep” I asked Jane Meng.
“You sleep in the guest room, your only fee to keep me company “
Jane Meng was a very mean woman, she would beat me with Whips and ask of me to do sexual favors with her. She kept me hungry and refused I feed barely keeping me alive. One day when Jane Meng slept in the basement of the House, I escaped the guest room that was bolted shut. I ran as far as I could from that molesting evil woman. I was so used to Jane Meng whipping with leather whip I sometimes enjoyed it, I felt like a bad girl that deserved my beatings before I would pleasure Jane Meng sexually.
Tommy and Lin Tran, brother and sister left Vietnam during the Vietnam War. Tommy and Lin Tran feed off Communist Soldiers. Zombies spread around the villages. Tommy and Lin Tran were called.
A recently discovered 30-page report by the CIA from June of 1968 details a likely zombie outbreak within the jungles of South Vietnam during the Vietnam War. Numerous eyewitness accounts from a platoon of American soldiers during the Tet Offensive discuss how the men came across a seemingly abandoned North Vietnamese camp along the Mekong River.
However, these same accounts also state that the camp was anything but abandoned, as the American GIs explained that they were attacked within it by a large group of “rotting corpses”, all Vietcong, and which were all attempting to sink their teeth into the flesh of the soldiers. A number of the GIs were bitten or consumed by the “corpses”, and those who were bitten soon joined the ranks of the undead Vietnamese troops.
Tommy and Lin Tran fled the country in fear of being found, by those that would hunt them down. Tommy and Lin Tran settled in Ohio.
Files by the Government Village Reports of Massacres by Communist and American soldiers they called Zombies “The Living Dead” The Dragons were never exposed because of their rules and way of life not even the Zombie types.
Tommy Tran was like a big brother to me, I grew up the only child. Tommy Tran always had Dragons in and out of the house -it was huge Clan. The Tommy and Lin Tran operated like Asian Mobsters they operated in a lot of American illegal activity. Lin Tran ran prostitution with in her Clan , the Vietnamese Dragons feed off their victims after they paid them for sexual favors. Tommy Tran was like a Pimp of these women in the Clan. Tommy Tran ‘s Male Clan operated in a lot of Racketeering , and Gambling in underground Casino Night Clubs . Tommy and Lin Tran never got me involved in the illegal activity. Tommy Tran and Lin Tran were like my caretakers and teachers of the Way of Life and Rules of the Days of the Dragons. The First thing Lin Tran said, when I ended up at her door , I found them from listing inside Jane Meng house. I didn’t know what the Listing meant, I knew I had to get free of Jane Meng’s physical and sexually abuse.
Rule #1 – Lin Tran told me was “ Never go against the Dragon Clan”
“ I am not a lesbian, Mei Nguyen. Freshen up and change your clothes. I do not take advantage of teenagers nor turn teenagers into Dragons. I will never take advantage of your menstrual cycles leave you vulnerable to hunger releasing the Dragon” said Lin Tran
Rule # 2- Never feed close to your home- that will leave your Clan exposed to Humans
Rule # 3- Never Starve yourself like Tommy and me you will become a Zombie it takes armies to feed on to bring you back into your Human like form.
“Yet, you are Jane Meng’s Clan, we will take you into our Clan for Protection,” said Tommy Tran
“ Jane Meng will Never come looking for you, Not under our Protection. Jane Meng is very traditional and were very modern. Jane Meng does not believe in our Lifestyles inside America.” Said Lin Tran.
Rule #4 Dragons can murder other Dragons, it’s frowned upon.
It was always Constraints with Jane Meng & Tommy and Lin Tran among myself. I hated the constraints given to myself. The only time the Dragons let me out the house was during the Full Moon to feed. Lin Tran said that the Constraints was for the Clan’s protection. I was just a teenager and had to learn rules and learn how to inter mingle with the humans as a Dragon before I was to be released. Jane Meng ‘s Clan should have never turned a teenager into a Dragon.
Rule # 5 The more you feed the more acceptable a Dragon is to the Sun
Rule #6 A Dragon is hard to kill , only the Sun, Magical incantation or Asian Voodoo, starvation and another Dragon can kill a Dragon.n
Lin Tran was actually correct but I was young and foolish. I was a 15 year old Virgin that was sexually abused by an older woman. The Dragons thirst usually based on our sexual desires , I wasn’t ready to face the Human World head on.
