Chapter 1
The wind howled through the streets, knocking over and making newspapers whirl. A dark figure leaned against the wall of the alleyway, with one of its legs propped up, studying the night stars. Its leather coat ruffled against another gust of wind while he switched legs to put up against the wall.
Even though it seemed like he was spaced out, he was, in fact, alert to any intrusion that went by. He heard the bullet hit the flesh two blocks away, the splash of blood on the cement sidewalk three blocks away and five minutes later the ambulance making its screeching announcement ten blocks away; the cats yowl and hiss along with the abusive argument in apartment five of a dysfunctional couple three buildings over. Everything. The only thing he didn't pay mind to was his "brother" feeding on the pitiful human. The distraught screams for help she emitted before she was silenced, aroused the beast in him and made him release a guttural chuckle that sounded more like a snarl. He loved what he was and nothing could tame the two of them.
He cocked his head slightly and said without even moving his lips, "It shouldn't take long to eat, man."
"It's alright. I heard that human can reproduce so I can take as long as I want. "
The witty reply came from the shadows between the dumpster and the entrance to the sewers. Minutes later his "brother" emerged wiping the blood off his hands on his jeans. They were brothers because they had the same elder but there it ends.
"I'm ready for the next round. Brennan, aren't you getting some?"
"No, Jess, I'm only here to be at your service," Brennan replied sardonically rolling his eyes at him. Brennan pushed himself off the wall with ease and began walking to the entrance of the club. Jesse soon followed.
The club was one that they went every night or every other night depending on their mood. Yeah, they sometimes danced to get their meal or bartended at the counter but nothing serious. The line to the entrance was worse than love struck girls chasing their celebrity. People were shoving and fights were going to break out soon. The nocturnal people of the city were impatient but being vampires has its perks.
Jess and Brennan hypnotized the guards and slipped through the doors. The crowd groaned and bitched to the guards but the complaints went right through the guards hazy minds. One drunk tried to throw a punch but just got himself stun gunned.
"God, I love messin' with humans," Jesse sighed and smirked as two girls glanced at him up and down as they made their way to the catwalk for the second floor.
T he club was a three floor building. The dance floor with techno musicalong with securities office was on the ground floor, the second floor was another dance floor with another genre of music (rap, hiphop, r&b, etc.),, and the third floor was the V.I.P. floor. The first two floors all had black lights and flashing lights that pulse to the bass of the songs.
Brennan scanned for the enemy, nodded to Jesse giving clearance and stalked off to find his dinner.
