For better and for worse

Disclaimer: I'll only say it once: like all other writer's in the site, I don't obviously own any of the Beyblade characters I'm using, but I do own my original characters.

WARNING -There will be bloody scenes, disgusting descriptions and crimes, as well as some dirty talking. You have been warned, do not complain it is violent, read at your expenses.

This story I dedicate to kai and mariah gurlie fan, for she gave me the idea and the inspiration to write this =)

I'll mix the original names and the dub names from Beyblade along the fic.

I've seen John Carpenter's Vampires and Resident Evil sometime ago. When I decided to make this fic, I chose John's way of portraying vampires and mixed it with my own interpretations. Resident Evil also provided some inspiration - my vampires don't die with cutie wooden sticks and they can survive for a bit under the Sun. There might be a slight parallel with those movies.

I have to thank Isa Koliki for editing my story and checking my mistakes once again! *_*

Chapter I


"Cries"

All alone in the night, the building could remember few memories of its past splendour; once the most beautiful mansion in the whole city, it now resembled a huge barbecue, useless to anyone.

Or at least anyone amongst the living...

The flames had consumed the house completely, the only things preventing it from falling was the paint! 1000 square feet of gothic architecture, one of the oldest exemplars the world knew of, burnt out! But how? It didn't matter, there was no one there anyway, all 2 floors and basement were completely uninhabited. No wonder, the house was said to be haunted, the city hall had no money to pay for it's rebuilding- and who could possibly want to buy that burned out old thing?

But the strangest thing was the phone call. Someone telling them that there was a fire about half a mile from the city's boundaries - only a hard crossing, dirt road led there, no one would ever go to such a place in the middle of the night! So, why on heart did the fire station receive an anonymous call at 4 p.m, telling them there was a fire? Who could it have
been?

_________

A blood bath, literally, was the only word able to describe the creepy scene: the bathtub was a small pool of crimson, the bathroom tiles- once beautiful different shades of green- were now stained as the dried blood persistently remained glued to it, scaring even the toughest doctor; moving to the living room, the scene wasn't particularly pleasant either... some trails of blood now and then, fingernails marks scratched in the walls, as if someone had tried to dig a hole through the wall to escape something. But the most macabre and morbid scene was yet to come: a heart, a real human heart laid on top of a broken three legged table, bloody words around it, written in a language known only to a few, and spiked on it's middle, was a slayer's wooden pole- how amusing, a vampire with a sense of
humour...


Finally, in the basement, were the bodies; despite only having a few hours, the decomposition was very clear - the disgusting smell irradiating from it would make the same doctor puke. They were shredded, torn to pieces, their entrails spread all around them, identification of the bodies was useless - even the gender was hardly discernible. Besides the fact that they were dead, there was only one other thing in common between all of them: they were the so called "society's trash". That house was inhabited for about 6 years, legally anyway. Now, it served as comfy home to many homeless people- junkies, dealers, you're all welcome in Hell's Dome! And yes, it was hell... 10 people... in one night? Someone was hungry! Or there were several different occurrences in that night. No, that was clearly the work of vampires, the heart pointed to that.

To them, it was a feast! 10 people: some couldn't move, some were so high they wouldn't even notice what was about to happen.

Then again...

*** A few hours before

Nocturnal predators approached the silent city: it was named Bernangwa, the name of it's original founder. He had wanted to make sure he would not be forgotten once he died - and he was not...

"It's time! The calling has begun! All of the Children hear the cries of the Great Master! Let us feast, we shall not live in fear ever again!" cried out the pale leader.
"There will be a Battle ahead of us! Let us feed ourselves first... YOU! Check the city for targets!" he spoke again, ordering one of the recently embraced ones to go and check for potential targets. A few hours later he returned. He headed towards the Master, reporting the movement in the city; fortunately for him, the Master enjoyed the notices, for he was known to unleash his anger at the nearest person.

"Follow!" he ordered again.

15 minutes later they arrived to the "target"

"There is nothing here!" the Master screamed.

The young one shook, fearing for his life.. or death if you put it in the correct terms.

"My lord, I know is seems deserted, but inside, there is plenty of food, ready for the taking - most of them are so high they won't even notice what happened!" the man replied, trying his best not to enrage is Master. Too late - moving as fast as he could, the Master stood in front of him, his left hand piercing through is chest.

"Where is the _fun_ in the chase, if they're half dead anyway!!!" he shouted
at him.

He tried to reply, but as he opened his mouth, coughs of blood splashed out of it hitting the Master's face. This only made him even more mad, if possible. Licking the blood with his filthy tongue, he tightened his grip on the poor man's heart, fully aware of his strength, he twisted it to the left, the body accompanying his movement. With one last stoke, the young one tried begging for mercy, but it only made his situation worse, as the silent assassin drew a smirk on that over paled face. With all his strength, he grabbed him by his shoulder blades and threw his heart out. Blood was pouring out through the hole that just opened on the middle of his chest. The young man had lost his of chance for eternal life. Stepping back, the Master allowed the dead body to fall to ground with a thud, making more splashes of blood hit him and those around him. He approached the now dead body and deposited the heart near his owner. He stared at it with a blank expression as he moved away from his dead companion. He muttered something indecipherable and someone removed the body as he spun on his heels and headed for the house.

"Let us eat!" one of the older vampires told the rest, leading them inside the four-story house. It took only a few minutes before the screaming began.

trimmm...trimmm...trimmm...trimmm...

The phone rang. It was 3 P.M and the BLOODY TELEPHONE WAS RINGING!!!

...

"What the fuck do you want, Marshal?" the young man roughly complained

"My, my, you sure are in a bad mood Kai!" a voice joked on the other side of the line.

"Yeah, I wonder why" he replied in his usual bored voice, letting slip a slight hint of cynicism.


"Well, if you're gonna be this rude, I won't tell you what happened!"

beeeeeeep…

The line was dead. At the other end, a pissed off voice: "son of a ...! Kai, you bloody bastard!"

A few seconds later...


trimmm...

"Ah, ah, ah, you have such a cute sense of humour... now listen up: 2 hours ago, we intercepted a police call, a satanic group doing some shit in the old neighbourhood, seems like someone was screaming like hell, and our great police did nothing until 1 hour ago. We managed to suppress their authority for now but they'll be back in a few hours, so hurry up!"

"Marshal? What the hell are you talking about?!"

"Dead bodies, 10 total..."

"Do I look like a freakin coroner?"


"Well, considering you were sleeping, I'd say you probably look like a freakin nature's aberration, I've seen you in the morning and it's not a pretty sight" he joked again.

"I'm gonna hang up again..."

"Fine, fine! Met me in St Patrick street in 10 minutes, you'll understand when you see it."

"Fine"

"Kai? Be prepared... real prepared... Solomon's Creep, you've been there 3 years ago, right?"

"What?!"

"I think he's back... he left his trademark..."

beeeeeeep…

Dead line again, and a concerned expression spreads all over Kai's face.

"A heart with a slayer's pole... Bac'shama" he mumbled.

End of Chapter

Well, what do you think? More? Or should I remove the story?

Well, please be so kind to leave a review, on the purple button, com'on, you
know you want it! Even if it's flames, I just wanna know what you guys think! *Left side of brain: not working... Right side: try blackmail* Good idea! The next chapter will have some touching things and a bit on Kai's life, BUT, in chapter 3, Kai will kick ass! And get ass kicked too... I promise! But, I'm not gonna write if no one reads, and I can't know that if you don't review *have I begged enough yet?*

Well, as I said, this I dedicate to kai and mariah gurlie fan who gave me the idea, and it was corrected by Isa Koliki. All to all, I have to thank these two wonderful people for all their help! But I must also thank all the writers in the site, specially those whose stories I review! All stories are a great help - good ones serve as examples and inspiration, the not so good ones help us understand our own mistakes, warning us not to do the same. Thank you all!


Joke
The doctor was stunned: the patient had a wooden testicle and an iron one. The Doctor's question: Do you have a normal sexual life?!
The patients answer: Of course! I even have twin sons - Pinocchio and Robocop...
