Hawt damn this idea was on my mind for the LONGEST. I've watched a copious amount of vampire shit and I was like...why not make a Boondocks vampire story?! I've haven't seen it done so...let me take a crack at it. I've typed this as I worked on my other on going piece, 'Roses' which I will be updating by turns. There's no doubt this story will be bumped to a M rating. It's T for now because...yeah. lol So give this story a shot and if you like it...I'll continue writing it, duh!

Ones Who Rules the Night
They live in the dark
Terra looked at herself in the mirror. Her dark red hair were in perfect curls, her black dress was perfectly tight, red heels set extra high and make up beautifully done. It was New Year's Eve and no matter how cold it was out there, she was set to impress. She hoped to even score a vampire tonight. She heard the stories of how their bites were nothing short of pure bliss and they showed her the scars to prove it. Vampires didn't scare her; in fact she wanted to see one. She wanted to feel the immortal pleasure they could offer. People in Woodcrest were so scared of them, so they would kill a few people so what? Those poor bastards should've had sheep blood on stand-by. It's not their fault those people were impecunious.
What she really hated were the wanna-be vampire hunters who just wound up dead. Their idol was the great Van Hellsing who killed the Lord over all vampires, Vlad the Impaler, best known as Dracula. She's seen Romania's portraits of Vladimir, he was fucking gorgeous. She couldn't understand why such a handsome man had to die. But...over time there was a new Count. The newest King of Vampires was Huey Freeman. That man was...ugh, she got wet just thinking of him. It was rare for him to pop up but when he did bitches were ready to be bitten. Unfortunately he compelled his victims and the women who lived couldn't tell you the story even if they wanted to they only remember what he looks like. But not Terra, she was wearing a necklace that contained ravine. Ravine was natural vampire repellent that burned them to the touch and would protect you from them controlling and altering your mind.
Terra checked her red lipstick one more time before she decided she was ready to go. She lived with her three roommates; all whom were terrified of vampires and always made sure the overhead above the front door were donned with fresh blood. Sheep blood prevented the vampires from entering your house; the only way they could pass through it even with the blood up is if you were to personally invite them into your home. They could come and go whenever they pleased after that. She walked out her room and grimaced at her shut in roommates. They believed and listened to everything Red Pyramid would tell them. Red Pyramid was created by a filthy Duo decedent and that bitch only did good things to make her family look good. They thought they could fool her with their little PSA's.
'Don't stay out alone without any type of ravine'
'Never trust vampires'
'Keep a sharpened wooden stake with you at all times'
Humans owned the night too, and tonight she would prove it.
Kerry turned around and sat up on the couch.
"Terra, where are you going dressed like that?"
"Mirage. It's New Years Eve and I want to go out. You three dweebs need to come." Kerry was one of the three triplets. Katrina and Kandice turned around with their eldest sister.
"No, you mustn't go! Mirage caters to those vampires! You're putting yourself in danger!" Katrina and Kandice cried in unison. Terra rolled her eyes and walked towards the door.
"Don't worry. I'm wearing the ravine necklace you all gave me. Don't forget to put the blood up. Later." She grabbed her coat and left the house. They worry way too much, but maybe she was too dismissive on their feelings at times. Both of their parents were drained of blood and they've hated vampires ever since. The triplets were her friends since childhood and they were just looking out for her. When she got in the car she sent all three a text.
'Look you guys. Don't worry so much. I'm sorry if I seemed like you all were overbearing. I'm sorry. I'll call on New Years and will come home right after. Love you guys.'
She started her car and made her way to the packed club. Finding a parking spot was so difficult and it took far too long to do so, but she eventually did. She cut her car off and sighed. She looked at the club and suddenly…it didn't feel right to be there. Maybe the K triplet's paranoia caught her at the last minute. Decided to dismiss it she got out the car and began walking. Her heels clicked and her hips swayed as she got closer to the line to get it. As she was waiting in line that feeling came back. Was she scared deep down on the inside? Okay maybe if she was honest within herself maybe it would stop. She was a tiny bit scared but she was big girl she can take care of herself. She became frustrated, even with that internal admission, that sinking feeling would not stop. Gritting her teeth she didn't realize she was now at the head of the line.
"Are you coming in ma'am?" She snapped out of it to be face to face with the burly, bald bouncer.
"Ye-yes." She stammered.
"15 please." She gave him a 20 and was allowed in once she received her change. Once inside her nose was bombarded with the smell of liquor and body odor. The music was blasting and people were dancing the night away, wearing New Year hats, bead, glasses and whatever else that symbolic to the occasion at hand. She walked towards the bar. The bartender smiled and winked at her.
"What's your poison?" he asked.
"Three shots of Patron please." She wanted to get toasted fast so her experience could be enhanced. She looked around the dark club from the bar. She saw a few girls go to the back to the V.I.P rooms in droves. She became curious. Once she got her drinks she paid and tipped the bartender. She threw back her three shots and made her way through the crowd. She danced with several people throughout the night as well as ordered more drinks as well as people bought drinks for her.
By 11:00 she was good and plastered. She was dancing by herself when she felt a tap on her shoulder. She looked up to see this super tall white chick. She was wear red shorts with a red and white stripped strapless top with white high heels. Her blond hair was tied back in a single braid that was draped across her chest.
"Hey sexy, you must want to dance too?" Terra drunkenly asked. The blonde laughed.
"You're not shy about making such jokes?"
"Oh no, I'm comfortable with myself I'd dance with girls, sorry if you got offended." The blonde shook her head.
"Not at all, in fact I'd say you were pretty sexy too. You want to hang with me and my friends in the V.I.P booth? There's a party going on." She winked her blue eye that was dressed with mascara. Terra nodded. The mysterious blonde took her hand and led her to the back. The hallways were pitch black which Terra noted.
"Hey these folks need to fix these fucking lights. I can't see shit." The girl giggled.
"Don't be afraid of the dark." Her voice sound distant, as if she blended in the darkness.
"Hey I don't think I know your name." Terra said.
"You don't." she giggled again.
"Uhh…you're gonna tell me what it is?" She was then greeted by a red light.
"Cindy." She whispered. Terra turned around to see her standing behind her closing the door. She looked back forward and almost went sober from the sight. There were girls on the floor knocked out or worse. In the other room around the corner she heard other girls moaning. This was the work of vampires! This place was where all those girls went from earlier! All Terra could do was stand there. Cindy placed her hands on her shoulders.
"What's wrong? I thought you liked to party?" Cindy pushed her away from the door. Staggering forward she fell to her knees. She looked in fright at a collapsed girl.
"Are…are these girls….?" She couldn't finish the question.
"Dead? No. My friends were giving them what they asked for. A vampire's kiss." Cindy grabbed her chin and made Terra look into her eyes.
"Do you want a New Year's vampire kiss?" Terra felt her heart beating 100 million miles a minute. Cindy eyed her necklace.
"You have ravine on, so I didn't even have to compel you down here." Terra backed from the blonde.
"You're…one of them?" Rather than answering her question, Cindy showed her. Snatching her wrist up to her mouth her fangs revealed themselves and she sank her teeth inside Terras wrist.
"Ahhhhhhh!" She cried, not from pain but from shock. Cindy's eyes were glowing red now.
"Mmm…." She licked the wound and dropped her wrist. Terra was completely sober by now and was freaking out on the inside. Seeing it first hand was horrifying and all she saw were her friend's parents dead from the vampires. She decided maybe that was not what she wanted anymore. Clamping her bitten wrist she stepped back from the vampires.
"I uh…I think I should go." Cindy licked the corner of her lip.
"Oh? So soon? My friends didn't get to taste you yet." Terra shook her head.
"You seem so scared now. Don't let the sleeping girls scare you. You hear that moaning in the other room? Don't you want to feel what they're feeling?" she walked around her and ran her finger up her neck.
"I suggest you go to Riley…he'll give you the best kiss. He's the Count's younger brother." Terra froze.
"You…you're lying."
"Come." Cindy signaled with her figure as she backed towards the corner. Terra could leave…so why wasn't she? She bit her lip as curiosity was getting the better of her fear. She slowly followed the vampire. The moans got louder and she was outside of another door. Cindy smiled at her.
"All these girls were given choices. Now is the time to turn back if you feel you cannot do it. It's either yes or a no." Terra shook her head yes. Cindy smiled.
"Great." She looked at the watch.
"Oh, it's 11:55. It's almost New Years. You'll be bitten into the near year! Aren't you thrilled?" the blonde asked. Terra looked down at her wrist and was surprised to see Cindy's bite was almost healed.
"Vampire saliva heals the broken skin cells faster than the humans heal rate. It also depends on how deep you're bitten. Neck bites tend to take a day or two." Cindy looked at her nails as if that was so common to talk about.
"Ho…how long have you been…a…vampire?"
"150 years." Cindy smiled. "Riley was the one that turned me."
She gulped. Cindy was a part of the tier of vampires that were ancient. The older they were the stronger they were. A girl stumbled out holding her neck. She glanced over at Terra and gave a tired smile.
"Oh man…you're gonna love it." She wobbled around the corner.
"Go." Cindy pointed. Terra walked inside the room and there were three young looking guys sitting down. One was Asian, the other two were black. But she didn't have time to take in their features.
"Hey bitch, who you hear to see?" she looked at the one that spoke. He was so handsome. He was the brother of Huey…wasn't he?
"Yo—you. Are you Huey's brother…Riley?"
"You're not the first one to complain about Huey not being here. All the ho's here were disappointed that he wasn't here." He folded his arms and scowled at the gawking girl. The one with dreads smiled.
"Always come in second huh Riley?" he laughed. Terra shook her head.
"No! I didn't mean that I mean…you're handsome too…it runs in the family." She walked slowly towards him. He yanked her down to his lap when he heard the human's countdown to New Years from upstairs. Terra's heart started to race as Riley wrapped his right arm around her waist and tilted her head with his left.
"7…6…5…4…" he whispered into her ear. Shivers went down her spine as the anticipation started to build inside her.
"…3…2…1…"
The next thing Terra felt was pure ecstasy as she felt his fangs pierce her neck.
Happy New Years indeed.
...
Twenty four year old Ming Xi' Lee Duo walked down the headquarters of Red Pyramid in complete frustration. The halls were pristine and silver with their red pyramids painted in the center of the huge tiles. Her assistant and longtime friend Sofia Romanov walked at her side in silence. They reached the communication room where all her soldiers and subordinates waited in the desk chairs. Ming walked in front of the room and put her arms behind her back in militant style.
"Good morning to all Red Pyramid subordinates as well as soldiers." They all stood to their feet and replicated her stance. They bowed to their Commander.
"Lady Duo." They greeted. She bowed back and they returned to their seats. Sofia walked from her spot and began passing out the folders for that morning's meeting. Ming waited patiently for the papers to be passed. Once all peoples received their files, Sofia stood back in her position. Ming's face was stern as she looked across the room.
"Today I am frustrated RP. I'm frustrated that I have a whole city to protect from these vampires, and yet…I have these whores running around being willingly bit by them." She gritted her teeth in anger. The members opened their files and began reading.
"Countless women as well as a few men left the club Mirage last night with bite marks on their necks." Ming picked up a remote off the desk and cut on her eighty inch plasma screen TV. A slideshow of those bitten were across the screen.
"These fools are undermining the dangers of these monsters. We've become so over ran with them their presence is indeed common place, but that does not mean to accept it!" her voice echoed in the vast room. But there was another issue at hand on the human's side.
"As you read from the file, I'm having an issue acquiring the sales of the sheep blood from my father Xaxis."
She turned to the screen and stared at the picture of her greedy father. The Duo family monopolized the sales of sheep blood in the East coast area and they announced this morning to raise the price of it once more. Social unrest could lead to human on human crime, and it was slowly starting already. It's due to Xaxis that Ming chose to distance herself from the family and start a real organization that really helps these humans. She understood that even in the wake of peril, humans would be just as monstrous and exploit each other. But Ming, Sofia, and her loyal workers vowed to work against it all.
Sofia studied the nature of these neo vampires and how they have evolved from the ways of Count Dracula. The only reason Ming knew of ravine being lethal to vampires is because of Sofia's knowledge of witchcraft. Van Hellsing and any traditional hunter distrusted anything supernatural, but witches discovered the key of nature's trade off to vampires. Besides the sun, plants and natural herbs of the Earth could hurt them. Witches existed as well but were very hard to find. Woodcrest participated in the burning of the witches in the Salem times and they've scattered since then.
She sighed and turned from the screen.
"Shinketsu." She called. Shinketsu Otomo was Pyramids' communications top hacker. He was not the fighting type but could hack into any computer and device that he wanted too.
"Yes Lady Duo?"
"I need you to get into Xaxis systems. Since he won't let me get it legally, I'll force it out of him illegally. Make it seem like he cheated Viseries out of their last payment. Detract the deposited amount. I want you to do it after every transaction. Viseries would not want to deal with a man who steady miscounts money and will be ready to bargain with a more competent dealer."
He bowed at his new assignment.
"Yes Lady Duo. May I be excused to start my task?" She nodded and he exited out the room.
"Lady Ming, it says here we will start doing field work for the public, does that mean…?" a random hunter in training asked.
"Yes. I wanted to wait until I could get at least twenty soldiers on par to fight vampires. Your lives are all valuable to me and I didn't want to blindly set you out there to be slaughtered. Up until now, Red Pyramid has been selling ravine to the public as well as help pay for these ridiculous prices for the sheep blood." Ming face sharpened and she slammed her hands down on the desk. Strands of her jet black hair fell over her shoulder.
"But now we have an added purpose! We will now accept field work to go out and KILL these vampires! I have given you all knowledge and defense training. The top ten soldiers I pick will be classed as Amateur Hunters and will be given the appropriate armor and equipment needed to fight these demons of the night!" she screamed.
"People will die, but I want to you all to know that no death will be in vain. Any one scared will have to back down now."
Her team responded by standing up and shoved their fists in the air.
"We are Red Pyramid! Fight the suppression, accept all deposition, but never will we run from our positions!" they shouted. They had faith in their leader, and would never dessert her. They wanted what she wanted.
Peace. Sofia saluted along with the others. She too will continue to use her brain against the vampires. Ming smiled with pride. Xaxis may have the money and power.
But it was clear she had the voice of the people behind her.
...
Greggory Quinn walked home slowly. He was a defeated man. His job cut his hours again…and Xaxis Corp raised the price of sheep blood to a staggering two hundred and eighty dollars a jar. No matter how hard they protested, they were ultimately turned away by their security, some were even tazed. How can he protect his daughter Naveah without that blood? He thought many times to steal some but he would just rob someone else of their safety. Red Pyramid was swamped with people at the office pleading for assistance and he couldn't even get in the door. He wasn't the only one who left empty handed, they all hand grim expressions. People who called themselves friends wouldn't share a drop and turned Greg away. He smiled as a bitter tear ran down his face. Sometimes humans were worse than vampires.
He hated the rich. How nice it must be to go to sleep knowing you're safe, how nice it must feel to appreciate the sunset, rather than cursing it for taking the light away. He decided he had to take Naveah to Red Pyramids' emergency bunker, specially made for people like him who couldn't afford the sheep blood and feared sleeping at home. When he opened the door he greeted his daughter.
"I'm home dear." He smiled as the single light of his entire life ran down the stairs. She was given that name because she was indeed a miracle from heaven. Her mother died shortly after giving birth, she wasn't supposed to be able to carry Naveah…but she did. Her mother, Helen had a heart defect and the strain of the birth was what killed her but she held, kissed, and named her before she took her last breath. He too would die for her if it meant to save her yet again.
"Hey daddy!" the nineteen year old hugged him tight. His face was covered by her honey brown curls but he loved her wild hair. Helen wore her hair natural too, and like her mother she rocked it.
"Hey sugar cube. Look, daddy got something to talk to you about something." Her brown eyes looked at him quizzically before following him to the couch.
"What is it?"
"I'm sorry…" he lowered his head. "I've failed you so much Naveah. I can't afford college for you. I can't afford you a car, I can't afford to give you better clothes, and a better house…I can't even afford to keep you safe." He buried his face in his hands and cried. Naveah pulled her father into a hug.
"I don't need all the fancy things. I'm happy as long as I have you daddy, we'll make it don't worry. What happened? Xaxis went up on the price of sheep blood again?" He nodded as he sat up. He fucking hated that piece of shit of a man! He knew Ming Duo could only do so much with RP, but she was at least trying. She could only sell ravine to the public, it was wildly known he put a blockade on sells so she couldn't get any blood to sell. He was such a stupid, low down bitch made ass nigga, why don't the vampires kill his ugly ass?
"By how much?"
"Two-eighty."
"Two-eighty!? That's ludicrous! How can he do this to us?" she shouted.
"Tonight, we're going to the Red Pyramid bunker." He said sharply. She nodded.
They could not stay in the house with no blood on the door.
...
Ming's nerves were almost shot. It was now 8:00, the sun was fully down and her ten hunters were out patrolling and ensure everyone was making it to the painted bunker safely that didn't live as close to the bunker.
"This is horse shit." She spat. Her father was a certified bastard. She could only help five hundred families with the paying of the sheep blood, the five hundred and more she couldn't cover flocked to her spacious bunker. It was built to hold eight-hundred people but room was filling up rapidly. She would eventually have to turn away families once it was full. Ming was blindsided by this, she was planning to build another bunker in late June, and she would now have to bump that up. Sofia and the rest of her employees scrambled to supply the people with everything they needed. Ming was helping too of course, and it would be forever until she would be able to sleep. She knew he raised the prices but didn't know he would implement the increase so soon. That's okay. Shinketsu was ruining his shit from the inside as she speak.
"Whoo, Ming, we need more blankets." Sofia wiped her sweat dripped eyebrow.
"Right, come with me to the supply area." The hurriedly went down the hall.
...
Naveah was packing her bags as her father was on the phone with an agent of Red Pyramid.
"You guys have twenty rooms left? Can I RSVP? Yes. A room for Greggory and Naveah Quinn please, we'll need what? Okay. God bless you people." He hung the phone up and grabbed his suitcase.
"Naveah. You ready?" he called up the stairs.
"Yes sir." She jogged down the stairs, curls bouncing side to side.
"You got your ravine bracelet on?" she nodded. He had a necklace to wear and he was carrying a gun with wooden bullets. He made her hide a wooden stake in the belt of her pants.
"Let's go." They turned all the lights off in the house and locked the doors behind them. They didn't have a car so they had to foot it. Naveah looked at the moon. Despite what the night brought she couldn't help but love the moon. It looked like a giant pearl in the sky. They continued to walk until they saw a figure stand in the distance. Naveah grabbed her dad's shirt in fright.
"Daddy." She looked up at him.
"Stand behind me." They walked closer.
"Hello humans. Where are you guys going this pleasant evening?"
Naveah was scared. This was the first time she ever came across a vampire. She expected a grotesque monster but no, he looked human. His skin was pale and he had a low fade and his neck was covered in tattoos. His grey eyes landed on her.
"Oooh, is this your daughter? Mind if I rape and kill her?" Naveah screamed and hid behind her dad.
"Stay away from her!" He fired his gun and missed. The vampire was suddenly right in front of him and shoved his hand in his chest and ripped his heart right out.
"DADDY! NOOOOOOOO!" Naveah fell on top of her dad, tears flowed from her eyes.
"Daddy, daddy, daddy please." She sobbed. His dead eyes stared up to the sky. She was tackled to the ground away from him. The vampire pinned her down, hands above her head with one hand.
"Don't worry little bitch, I'm about to send you away with your precious daddy, but after I fuck you senseless." He laughed evilly. He ripped her shirt open and she screamed louder.
"PLEASE STOP! PLEASE GOD SAVE ME!"
Next thing she knew liquid was poured on them. The vampire screamed in agony as his back was burned. Ravine! Naveah scrambled away from the monster and looked up to see hunters land from the tree.
"We got here as quickly as we could!" a female voice rang. They were masked so she couldn't see their faces. Naveah rushed to her saviors and looked back at the vampire. He backed smoked and he snarled. His eyes were red and feral, his fangs extended.
"Fuck you cunts! It will take more than ravine to kill me!" and he dashed off into the bushes, dodging more wooden bullets fired at him. The hunters saw the dead body.
"Shit, we didn't make it fast enough." The male cursed. The female hunter allowed Naveah to cling to her like her life depended on it.
"Thank you for saving me." She sobbed into the woman's jacket. She looked at the corpse and patted the girls head.
"You are welcome. I'm so sorry we didn't get here fast enough. Come, we will escort you to the bunker." Naveah took one last look at her father. She broke away from her and walked towards her dad. The male hunter grunted, bowed and stepped away from the body. Naveah sunk to her knees. She reached out and closed her dad's eyes and kissed his forehead.
"I'll miss you." She broke down and wailed into the night. She cried the entire trip to Red Pyramid.
Now she was off in this world all alone.
I feel so sorry for Naveah, she''ll be put through so much. LOL she hasn't even met Huey or his team of vampires yet. Poor poor human.
So what ya think? R&R!
