Shancus was a good kill I believe now. At the moment I don't know what came over me. I felt a feeling that I'd never felt before, like I'd just killed someone important or meaningful to life. It was strange. I was slightly surprised that I was able to do that. I guess I somewhat felt sorry for him, being only young. I guess I'd never killed a child before. Enough with the sorrow, now it feels great. The shear irony of it all. I'm glad I killed him, right in front of his father too, the one that travels with the freak show, Evra isn't it. I hope Darren didn't notice anything of my expression. That would have been pitiful, the lord of the vampaneze, ruler of all, falling weak to his knees over an eight year old snake kid who I had just dropped to his death in a pit of stakes. The same way as Creepy Crepsley. Double revenge, two things Darren loved and held dear to him. That vampire scum Crepsley calling me evil! Darius was useless too, I don't need him. He is no son of mine.
Who cares about Darius and how he felt watching me kill that vermin snake-boy! Darren could have killed him and I wouldn't care less, that insolent waste of space! He did no good to me, can't even shoot an arrow at someone without feeling sick or bad about what he's done. I bet he could have cried when he shot Darren but he wanted to stay strong to impress me, it didn't work Darius. No killer in him. Blooding him didn't do much good either, even though there was only a small stream of vampaneze in him, it should have brought out the killer instinct in him. Made him savage and hungry for the red trickle of blood. A bloodhound at heart like all killers of the night. I raised him right though, made him see sense in my ways. That vampires are evil and had to be killed. Ha, the lies I fed him, he hung on every word of them. He's Darren's problem now, Darren's pest. I thought Annie would have come to some use but she bore me a pathetic son. His name means no more to me.
Shancus deserved it though, R.V captured him and all was working well. Morgan even managed to kill the tall man I believe. Before he died anyway, he was a pathetic vampaneze, weak but one of my main protectors. To think he got killed by a little person and R.V was an even worse waste of space. He turned on me and almost killed Gannen. To protect that stupid vampire prince, Vancha! I had to do what was best for him, slit him and knock him down. Scum like him make me sick.
I love putting on a theatrical show for them all though it was great fun to mess with them at the scene of Shancus' death. Messing with them behind the spears was the best part, some would say I was bluffing but it's so much fun! Getting defenceless Debbie Hemlock and that police chief Alice Burgess in on the act was even better. When you get to mess with them; Vancha, Darren, Harkat and Evra brings out the best in my wicked side. That witch Evanna though, there's something about her that I don't like…
That was a win-win day for all of us I think though. Ha! I got to kill the snake-boy and get rid of Darius. Be ready Darren, the lord of the vampaneze is coming for you next and the others will perish after…
