The Vampire`s Lust
By: MWC
Prologue: Around 3:30 in the morning, me and my girlfriend Gabby were on our way home
when my car battery died. It was a part of Los Angelos that was known for its bad reputation.
While I was checking the battery and its connections, my girlfriend sat in the car, getting
somewhat impatient. She was absolutely beautiful, smooth, lightly tanned skin, red hair that went
down to the middle of her neck, not too tall, not too short, around 5`8" I think, I really never
asked, she never told me. She was young too, nineteen to be exact. I was twenty-one. As for age,
my car was just a little older than me, a 1976 Pontiac Trans Am with a convertible top. Still, a
piece of shit in my book the damn thing always broke down. As I continued getting frustrated I
suddenly heard faint footsteps coming towards us from behind the car. I didn`t pay much attention
to it. But as the footsteps grew louder, I peeked around the right side of the hood and saw a man
walking towards us. The light was low but I could still make out his figure, tall, around 6`11",
pale skin, long black hair just down past his shoulders. He was wearing black clothes and a long,
black leather coat. He seemed nice as he introduced himself.
"Having car trouble?" he asked me, standing near my girlfriend.
"Um, yeah," I answered, "damn thing always quits on me."
"Mind if I take a look?" he said as he approached me.
I stepped out of the way to give him some room. He bent over the engine, looked over every inch
of it, then stood up and backed away.
"Hmm, I have no idea what`s wrong," he claimed.
::Geez, what a shock:: I thought to myself as I stood there.
"Well, is there a phone I can use around here?" I asked, getting more aggrivated with this guy
than the car.
"Yes there is, follow me," he answered.
As he started walking back to where he came from I walked to the driver side of my car and
reached in to get my jacket and keys.
"Where are you going?" asked Gabby.
"To use the phone then I`ll be right back," I told her.
I grabbed my things and started to follow the guy. Before I made it twenty feet I heard the car
door open, close, then the sound of high-heels tapping the ground. I turned around and saw Gabby
walking towards me.
"I`m going with you," she said as she walked closer, "there`s no way I`m staying here by myself."
I waited for her to catch up then we proceded hand to hand. We walked for what I think was five
minutes until the man walked into a meat-storage building. We hesitated, then walked in after
him. He took us past the meat storage, and at least six phones. As we neared the back of the
cold-storage warehouse, I could soon hear faint music. Gabby and I rounded a corner and saw the
man talking to another man in a different language near a door. He pointed to us, said a few more
words, then motioned us as the other guy opened the door. The faint music I could hear grew
louder when the door opened. My how strange it was, to see a rave party being held at the back of
a meat-storage building. Have to admit, the music was lame, so was the dancing. Me and Gabby were
on our way home from a rave and were really tired. As Gabby stood there looking at the ravers I
was scanning along the back wall, and finally saw the guy holding a phone above his head and
waving me to head over to him.
"Gabby, over there, come on," I said to her. I grabbed her hand and slowly inched forward through
the crowd. Believe me, it was hell. People were bumping into me every few feet. About half way
across the dance floor the crowd became unbearable.
::Oh, come on:: I thought to myself. But everything quickly changed the second I felt something
hit my head. I wiped my right hand across my forehead and brought it infront of my face. My
expression quickly turned from annoyed to shocked when I saw a red liquid smeared across the top
of my hand, then to fear when I realized it was blood. Gabby noticed it and asked me what it was.
Before I could answer though more blood began dripping onto me, and Gabby as well. While we
vigorously wiped ourselves off, the partiers around us raised there arms, and welcomed the blood
which soon began spraying out of the sprinkler system. Gabby screamed as I grabbed her arm and
tried to get us back to the exit. But as we wormed our way through the crowd, the partiers
quickly circled us. Gabby and I were terrified by that time. The partiers around us, who were
drenched in blood, were laughing and shouting at us. While I tried blocking the sounds out of my
ears and the blood out of my eyes, I quickly glanced over at Gabby, who was about a foot away
from me. Awful of me to think she looked sexy in her tight, one-pieced dress and drenched with
blood. That was the last thing I could remember before the blow to the back of my head knocked me
out.
I woke up sometime later to find that we were sitting in the car, still coated with blood. As I
finally came to I reached into my pocket and grabbed my keys. I was surprised too, the car
started. As I shifted the car into Drive, a sharp pain ran down the right side of my neck. I
quickly pressed that part of my neck with my hand and felt two puncture wounds. I looked over at
Gabby and saw she was still out cold. I shook my head side to side in an attempt to wake up then
drove away. That was the start of our new lives that morning.

--Chapter 1--
A few days later me and Gabby had completely turned into vampires. What a change it was. For the
entire day we stayed in our apartment with the shades closed. That night we made our way back to
what I found out was a vampire night club. We had some trouble at the entrance to the night club.
Damn bouncer wouldn`t let us in, until we should him our fangs. Only then did he let us in.
Before we entered he told us to see a man named Deacon Frost, he showed us the way. We crawled
through the crowd and finally made it to the door we were supposed to go through. I opened the
door and allowed Gabby to go in first. The loud music faded as the door closed. We stood in the
bright, white room and waited for this Frost guy to show up. A few minutes passed until a guy and
a girl with bleached-blonde hair walked in and sat on the couch.
"So, you wished to see me?" he said to us, seemed a little frustrated with something.
Gabby being her shy, usual self stood there without saying a word. I guess she figured since I`m
the guy I would be in charge of doing the talking.
"Yes, we need help," I finally blurted out.
"Well what kind of help?" Frost asked us.
"Well, a few days ago we were completely turned, now we need a place to stay and a good source of
food," I responded.
"So, what, you guys are vampires?" Frost asked.
"Obviously," to my surprise Gabby spoke up. What a thing for her to first say.
Frost chuckled at her remark then told the girl sitting next to him to check us. She stood up and
raised our upper lips, revealing our fangs.
"Yep, they`re vampires alright," she said to him.
"Okay then, you can stay with us in my suite. We will provide you with efficient food supply,
shelter, and security. But there is a price for all of this. In return, you must work for me. You
two will take the proper amount of time for training. When I get a chance, I will introduce you
to my assistants but for now I must take care of some things."
Frost and the girl stood up and walked past us and out the door. Me and Gabby were left by
ourselves in the room, so I had no idea what to do.
"Well, since we apperently have time, want to go back out and dance?" I asked Gabby.
She looked at me, smiled, then shook her head. We held hands, then walked back out onto the dance
floor. When we were humans she was an incredible dancer. But as a vampire, she was much, much
better. Life as a vampire was much better than that of a human. We never got tired, we moved
faster, and were incredibly stronger. After an hour of dancing Gabby had apperently bonded with
Frost`s sidekick girl, I haven`t found out her name yet though, working on it. After the dance
the only ones of us who remained were me, Gabby, Frost, that girl, and another guy. We all walked
together to Frost`s limo, climbed in, then went to Frost`s suite.
For the next few weeks me and Gabby`s "abilities" increased greatly. We were still together as a
couple, too. One day I heard Frost talking about me and Gabby, how we were the only vampires he
had ever seen who were truly in love with each other. We were, I loved Gabby alot and she loved
me the same. By now Gabby was using her beauty to lure humans into her hands for food. I on the
other hand, used speed and personality. Every early morning we would both hit the night club.
Frost would attend occasionally. But one day was really different. While I was standing near the
couch in the corner, while Quinn was having a good time with two girls, I noticed a human in the
center of the crowd, during the bloodbath. He sure seemed petrified. It brought back memories,
except this guy was getting the shit beat out of him. Then was the first time I noticed him, the
day-walker, BLADE. as the blood stopped spraying out of the sprinklers, the crowd quickly went
silent as they noticed BLADE. As Quinn stood up I walked through the crowd until I was standing
infront of BLADE. Have to admit he had a great taste in leather jackets. Mine was just like it.
"So, you`re BLADE, huh?" I said casually.
But BLADE only smiled. When I moved closer is when he quickly pulled out some high-tech looking
shotgun, armed with silver steaks. I was honored. He aimed his steak-gun at me and fired. Too bad
for him I jumped clear. After that all hell broke loose. People were screaming, running, dying.
I quickly grabbed Gabby and told her to follow me. She wanted to stay and get a piece of BLADE.
But I told her it was basically suicide, the dying vampires was good enough evidence. So we
quickly fled and left Quinn to take care of BLADE by himself. Me and Gabby made it back to the
suite and told Frost what had happened.
I just noticed something about Gabby that I never noticed before. Her nicely tanned skin was now
real pale. Funny how I didn`t see this before. I looked at my hands and noticed my skin was pale
too. Well, Quinn was really taken care of at the night club the other morning. BLADE had steaked
him to a wall and completely barbequed his ass. Nothing to worry about, he was almost fully
healed. Helped him out majorly to feed on those two doctors at the hospital, although BLADE was
there and took Quinn`s hand. I can`t help but notice how sloppy Quinn is. He always manages to
screw up. I`m just surprised that Frost hasn`t gotten rid of him yet. Must need him for
something. Well one night on our way to another night club, we stopped so Gabby could feast on
some perverted human who was looking for a good time. That`s when I noticed BLADE`s car parked
across the street. Gabby had finished feeding and seemed ready for war.
"Gabby, look, BLADE`s car," I told her. She walked past me a ways to get a better look.
"Let`s go over there and get him," she said impatiently.
I figured "what the hell" so we walked over there. We walked in, but couldn`t see anybody. He was
obviously buying some more arsennal for his war against us. I picked up a bottle from a shelf,
-Essence of Garlic- was written on the label. I set it back down and walked a little ways deeper
into the store, Gabby stayed near the front. As I walked closer to the back I could hear BLADE
talking to someone else. I turned around and whispered to Gabby to get over to where I was. She
quietly ran towards me, but instead of stopping near me she continued to the doorway.
"Gabby, get back here," I said quietly to her.
But she ignored me. Wasn`t for her own good either. She got too close and BLADE grabbed her
around the neck. She struggled to get away but to no avail. I just stood there, with a serious
look on my face, even though I was scared as hell for Gabby`s life.
"You`re here for Frost aren`t you?" BLADE asked me.
"No, we were on our way to somewhere and happened to see your car," I told him. Well, it was the
truth.
"Let her go," I ordered him compulsively.
"Give a message to Frost for me," BLADE said, " tell him I`m onto him and I`ll get him real
soon."
I shrugged. "Fair enough, now let her go."
Again, BLADE chuckled. He let her go, but not before slicing her right cheek with a knife. BLADE
threw her at me and took that time to flee. The human he was talking to fled as well. Gabby
quickly regained her strength and we went back to the suite. After I talked to Frost he said he
would get someone to track down and kill the doctor that BLADE took under his wing. Best way he
figured to get to BLADE.
Well, the day after nothing really happened. Today Frost was throwing a party at his suite. The
scar on Gabby`s cheek had healed. Frost`s girl, who`s name I later found out was Mercury, was
prancing around like she was on crack or something. Frost was nowhere to be seen. I think he was
working on some prophecy thing. I was standing outside by the water, Gabby was talking to another
girl, Quinn was sitting on the couch with two girls. Anyway, while I was standing outside I
heard someone talking to Frost. I turned around and saw that it was a human, a cop to be exact.
He had a run-in with BLADE while he was taking care of some business. Frost and that cop walked
over near where I was standing. Of course, Mercury had to put in her two cents about how the
human screwed up. Kudos to him for calling her a bitch, but a big mistake all the same. The human
tried talking some sense into Frost, but was interrupted when Frost sank his fangs into his neck.
Everyone at the party started laughing, except me. Mercury joined in on the feast before Frost
threw the cop`s lifeless body into the water. Frost told Quinn that he wanted BLADE, and he
wanted him alive. Frost went back to where he came from and everyone went back to partying. My
how I hated Quinn and Mercury. They both thought they were really tough and were special to
Frost. I shook my head and leaned up against the post behind me, and drew my attention to the
corpse floating in the water infront of me.
Not long after we caught up with BLADE and the human at the archive. I was quite surprised how
BLADE was captured very quickly. Of course, Quinn started shooting his mouth off, I didn`t pay
any attention to him. Crease had taken BLADE`s sword and began shooting his mouth off as well. I
grinned when the sword`s booby trap ripped his hand off. Mercury was taking care of the human
female Karen. Quinn on the other hand, was trying to act all big and bad. He took one of BLADE`s
steaks and stabbed him in the left shoulder with it. He was about ready to do the same to the
other shoulder when BLADE`s assistant interrupted us. Lucky for me I was in the back, out of
sight. So when everyone started firing their guns in every direction I was able to sneak out to
where BLADE and the humans were escaping to, the subway tunnel. I waited for the train to pass
then quickly and carefully made it over to the other side. I rounded the bend in time to see the
amazing fight between Quinn and BLADE. Karen was down off the platform near the tracks and the
train`s wheels. The other human, Whistler, was nowhere to be found. I just stood there though and
watched Quinn get his face slammed into the side of the moving train and his other hand get taken
off. By now I was hanging onto the ceiling of the tunnel. Quinn, by now shocked, ran off. Behind
me I saw Mercury and Frost`s security advancing towards BLADE. Too late though, he grabbed onto
the train and him and the human escaped. Mercury and the security staff stopped running after the
train and soon returned to the where I was, so I made my presence known and jumped down infront
of them. Mercury seemed pissed.
"Where were you?" she asked me.
"I was up there the entire time, watching Quinn get sliced and diced," I told her.
"And you let BLADE get away?!" She was obviously furious.
I turned my back to her. "Like it matters, we can get him another time."
"Frost won`t like this at all. You screwed up," she claimed. I hated it when she said that.
"It wasn`t me who screwed up, it was Quinn. Besides, you let go of the girl," I mentioned.
"But you could have captured them, right here," she started to raise her voice. "It`s all your
fault!"
I didn`t appreciate it when people rose their voices to me. I quickly swung around and
back-handed her in the face.
"Shut, up," I said to her, then walked away. Boy did that feel good.
--Chapter 2--
Back at Frost`s suite, Quinn and Mercury were arguing about which one of them screwed up. I see
Mercury finally decided to listen to what I said. Quinn was getting his right arm bandaged up, I
was kneeling down in the corner filing my finger nails. Gabby was cuddled next to me, she
apperently had a busy night. Quinn and Mercury`s little argument finally quieted down when Frost
walked into the room. Quinn pleaded his case to Frost.
"Deac let me take this guy out, man. Look, look what he fuckin` did! He took my hand again!"
Quinn pleaded.
"Listen to me, I want him alive," Frost said.
"What the fuck are you talk-, you want him alive? We`ve been trying to kill this mother-fucker
for years. Are you out of your fuckin` mind?!" If you ask me it`s Quinn who`s out of his mind.
By now I was getting tired of this so I sat down on the floor and wrapped my arm around Gabby.
"You both screwed up," I finally spoke up. Everyone looked at me with puzzled looks on their
faces.
"You both were sloppy, acting tough. You bit off more than you could chew," I continued.
"What about you?" Mercury asked me. "Tell Deacon about what you did."
Frost looked at me.
"Cyber, would you mind telling me what you did?" Frost asked me.
Taking my arm from around Gabby, I stood up and walked out of the shadows.
"I let BLADE and the human get away. I sat above them and watched Quinn get his ass kicked," I
pleaded.
"What? Why the fuck would you do that?!" Quinn shouted. I looked at him, then turned back to
Frost.
"Yeah Cyber, why did you do that?" Frost asked.
I walked over to Frost until I was inches infront of him.
"Because I want a challenge. It would have been too easy capturing him like that. Besides, I
didn`t want to end up like Quinny over there," I said.
After I spoke my mind, I walked back over to where Gabby was sitting, then sat next to her.
"So, give me one good reason why I shouldn`t punish you for this Cyber," Frost said.
"Because I know where BLADE`s hideout is. I followed him when he got off of the train. Some old
factory," I said.
Later that morning we took a ride to the coast. At the time I didn`t know what Frost`s intentions
were but by the looks of things, they weren`t good. At least for Dragonetti that is. All of us,
except for Dragonetti, had protected ourselves against the sun that was going to rise in a few
minutes. I don`t know all that was said, because I stayed back near the cars. But then I had some
idea as to what was happening when I heard Dragonetti screaming. His screams soon got louder as
the sun began rising. Then the screams ceased. Frost and the others returned to the cars, without
Dragonetti.
The next day we all paid a little visit to BLADE`s hideout. But BLADE wasn`t there. So Frost
decided to leave a message for him. Using the security guards as a diversion, Whistler grabbed a
shotgun and started shooting at the guards that he saw. I was standing behind Frost, when I
noticed Gabby running by Whistler.
"No!" I screamed, but it was too late.
Whistler saw her and shot her in her stomach. At that time, Quinn shot Whistler in the back of
the leg as Mercury grabbed Karen. I ran over to Gabby and saw that she was still alive, but
barely.
"Oh shit," I said to myself.
I quickly got up and ran over to Frost. Frost was kicking Whistler in the face. After he
finished, he left the human in the hands of Quinn. I ran up to them.
"No, wait!" I yelled. "Gabby is dying. She needs his blood."
"After Quinn is finished," Frost said.
"Goddammit she needs it now!" I screamed.
Frost hesitated. "Fine, take him to her."
Quinn and some of the guards picked up Whistler while I ran back to Gabby. Mercury was holding
Gabby in a sitting position.
"Thanks," I blurted to Mercury.
Quinn dropped Whistler infront of me. Whistler had been knocked out so he wouldn`t put up a
fight. Mercury helped me slide Whistler over to Gabby. I went over to Gabby and held her head up.
"Gabby, sweatheart, take his blood," I told her.
Even though she was weak, she managed to hold Whistler in front of her and drink his blood. A few
minutes after she finished she finally stood up, apperently mostly healed. Again Mercury helped
me carry Gabby back to the limo. Thank God she was going to survive. My life would have been shit
without her.
A few days later Frost was throwing another party in his suite. Gabby was sitting on the couch
seducing a human. I was talking to Quinn and glanced over at Gabby.
"Well, she`s back to her old self again," Quinn said.
"Yeah, gladly," I remarked. Gabby was now feeding on the human rather than seducing him. I made
my peace with Mercury and Quinn, so I didn`t have anymore problems with them.
Speaking of Mercury, her and Frost were in another room with the human. It was only a matter of
time before BLADE found us. By now, my love for Gabby had tripled. I finished talking to Quinn
then walked over to Gabby. She noticed me walking over and threw the corpse aside. I sat down
next to her and squeezed her tight in my arms. I gave her a soft kiss on the top of her head.
"Feeling better I see," I said to her.
Gabby chuckled. "Yes, much better." She looked up at me and stared into my eyes. "I want more."
"More what?" I asked.
"Blood, I want more blood," she answered.
"All in time Gab, trust me," I told her. Gabby just smiled, kissed me, then rested her head on my
chest. I held her tighter. It was strange though, after Gabby`s brush with death she craved human
blood almost all the time. But I haven`t had the thirst for days now.
A half an hour later Gabby actually fell asleep. I laid her out on the couch and walked outside.
I just couldn`t get the thought of a human nearly killing Gabby. It made me extremely mad. I
couldn`t take it anymore, the thought was driving me insane. I pushed myself away from the post
and walked quickly for the door. Quinn tried stopping me to talk but I forced my way past him.
-Continued on to Part II-
