A Note on Vampires:
I have my own opinions and imaginings about vampires and here they are; There are 4 basic classes of vampires:
Ghouls: Zombie like vampires. Undead corpses. Fragile, slow, stupid and weak, ghouls are only capable of following strict and simple commands. This is what happens to Serfs whose master isn't strong enough to keep them. Ghouls cannot create other vampires.
Serfs: A human that is bound to a vampire. the servant/slave cast. These creatures are still mostly human. They are created by a vampire or Nosferatu biting a human and not drawing much blood letting them live. They eat food and can live in sunlight though they do not need sleep. They are barely stronger than a normal human and cannot disobey their master. Their life and immortality is contingent on the life of their master. They guard their masters during the day and serve them at night. Serfs cannot create other vampires.
Vampire: the Vampire of legend. They are made by a vampire or Nosferatu biting and drawing out all their blood killing them and making them undead. Common vampires are immortal, many times stronger and faster than humans, can disappear into shadows and can heal from almost any wound almost instantly. Ultraviolet light burns their flesh to ash very quickly and they are severely allergic to garlic and consuming any solid food makes them ill. Silver and mercury are toxic and prolonged exposure can kill them as can having their heart pierced or head cut off. They cannot swim and will quickly sink and drown. Common vampires can only sustain a few Serfs without them reverting into Ghouls. Vampires can create Serfs and other vampires but not Nosferatu
Nosferatu: No life Kings, Vampire Lords. Nosferatu can only be created if another Nosferatu drinks the blood of a child. They are Immortal, hundreds of times stronger and faster than normal humans, can teleport, disappear into shadows, transform into mist or an animal familiar, use magic, temporarily control the minds of humans and can heal from almost any wound many times faster than even common vampires. While solid food gives them no nourishment it doesn't make them ill nor are they allergic to garlic. Silver and mercury are only mildly toxic and UV light is merely uncomfortable as their skin and eyes are sensitive to it. They, like vampires cannot swim but drowning doesn't kill them. They can maintain hundreds, even thousands of serfs. Piercing their hearts and/or cutting off their heads can only kill them for a few years. Burning the corps and scattering the ash lasts longer but they will eventually coalesce and revive. The only way to keep one dead is by removing and immersing their heart and head in mercury. Nosferatu can create serfs, vampires and Nosferatu.
Summary:
Tien Ly lived the normal life as the eleven year old first born child of a wealthy Vietnamese business tycoon. Until the day the Vampire clan that helped her dad came for their payment. Her
Ch 1: Death becomes her
Tien Ly's eyes flickered open; sunlight streamed in her bedroom window and warmed her face.
Her neck hurt, and her head was full of the buzzing of bees.
There were voices in her head, whispering, ever in the background. They had been doing that for a week now. Every time she had woken
There was something she was supposed to remember.
She tried to roll onto her side
Nothing
Her mouth opened as she tried to breath
Nothing
She remembered.
They had come at night.
Three of them
A woman and two men
Dressed in black leather
They had come for her family.
Her eyes
Seductive
Mesmerizing
Irresistible
Tien remembered that she couldn't look away from the woman's eyes.
She had been sitting with her family in their living room under the guard of the two men. The woman had spoken to her father in Vietnamese. "The Han Coven held up its end of the bargain. You are in America now. You are rich, prosperous, and free of the communism of your homeland. Now, pay us what we are due."
Her father had pleaded, begged the woman to stop. He didn't care if he was left penniless. He couldn't pay the price they asked.
She asked him, "You would go back on the agreement?"
He nodded
She had snapped her fingers and one of the men extracted papers from a briefcase.
"Sign these; they transfer ownership of all your holdings to us. You reneged on the bargain and so we will take everything you wouldn't have had if not for us." The woman said.
He signed every page.
"Good, your money, properties and companies are ours. Now, had we not interfered, you and your wife would likely be dead by now and your children would either never had been born or would have died with you." Her father's and mother's eyes had widened in shock as the woman said this.
He had tried to fight
He screamed for us to run
His neck was snapped in a single blow by one of the men who then grabbed her father and biting into his neck began to feed.
The other man had pulled out a pistol and shot both her little brother and mother in the head. Sauntered over to the dead pair, and likewise began to suck out their blood.
Despite watching her family die and become food for the two male vampires Tien still couldn't shake the woman's gaze.
It commanded her
She obeyed
She stood up and went with the woman into her bedroom. There the woman had laid her on the bed and had whispered. "Foolish old man, he could have lost only you, his first born. Instead the deal is void, and you cannot exist."
With that the woman bit her neck
It was pain, cold, dark, weakness and death
But even more it was pleasure, orgasm, fire, light, strength and life.
All existence focused down on the woman drawing her blood from her neck.
Then the voices had begun
She could hear them in her head
She could feel the wind in the trees outside, the very vibrations of the wind chimes her mother had hung just that morning rang in her head. The earth shifted from a Californian earthquake 600 miles to the south. Water bubbled and moved in the brook at the edge of their property.
She could hear and feel everything
She existed solely for the woman on her neck
Then the darkness had come, eating away at her vision.
The woman backed away. The men were in the doorway she spoke to them. "Stake their hearts and cut off their heads. The contract is broken they may not become vampires."
One had pulled out a wooden stake and the other had an axe. They moved to opposite sides of the bed and even as she whispered "Please, no." the stake drove into her chest and the axe came down on her neck.
She remembered
Her eyes squinted and tears squeezed out
As yet again
For the 35th time that week
Darkness blurred her vision
Mouth opened in a silent scream
And she died.
Not the End…
