The Regent looked over the banister down into the hive of activity in the hall below. “Are they all safely within the castle?”

Rose checked her tablet and nodded. “The last villager arrived about 20 minutes ago.” Rose smiled. “I love when we have these lock downs. “ She met the Regent gaze. “Ainsley has even supplied some fresh meat for the feast.

Just for fun.

This is an invitation to other writers to join in. A story is always better if you get the other side of it.

So maybe you are you a member of The Regent's annoying vampire clan. Why have you brought this trouble to your Queen's door?

Or are you one of the slayers who have broken the pact and now crossed over into forbidden land. Who within the Regent's walls has wronged you, that you would risk death to hunt down?

Or are you just someone else...

If you would like to join in, here is how it works.

Write your side of the story on your own blog, include the link to my stories and leave the link to yours in the comments below.

Include 'A 2 sided story' in your title and use the tag 'a-2sidedstory'. That way all the stories will be kept together.

If you like someone else's addition continue on from theirs. ( add their link to your story and leave the link to your in their comments)

My hope the story will grow like a tree. It may end up going in many different directions and we might end up writing parallel stories. That is actually interesting and exciting. (Sliding Doors).

Anyway have fun and look forward to reading your 'side' of the story.
