Flashback
1717 in what is today modern Pittsburgh somewhere out deep in the woods.
Master Brian, your father is looking for you sir, and he sounded very angry and very drunk, Rigs a Kinney servant and a good friend of Brian's warns him.
Brian rolls his eyes.
When is he or my mother ever sober, Brian remarks under his breath to Rigs.
You're right Brian, but when your father is drunk is when he's the most dangerous, be careful, Rigs warns him.
Brian turns to face his friend.
Rigs my fathers can look for me all he wants to, I don't care anymore, Jacob and I are leaving late tonight for England, we're sailing on a ship that's going to England in two days time, Brian tells Rigs.
Rigs nods his head that he understands to Brian, but he is still worried for his friend.
Brian looks at his friend a moment and then puts his hand on Rigs shoulder.
Come with us Rigs, you're a loyal and a devoted friend to both Jacob and I, we owe you so much, come and make a new life for yourself in England with us, Brian asks his friend?
Rigs has tears running down his face, for he knows that Brian and Jacobs plans have already ran afoul.
Rigs, what is it, Brian asks his friend worried?
Sir, I think Lord Kinney knows about you and Jacob Taylor, I mean.. well... I think he knows you two are lovers, Rigs tells him.
Brian gets first a shocked and then terrified look on his face.
What do you mean he knows we are lovers, HOW, Brian asks Rigs becoming worried for his lovers safety?
Sir, I believe you were betrayed, someone close to you I believe has told your father everything, Rigs replies to Brian.
WHO, who would do that to us, Brian asks Rigs already knowing the answer.
I think it was your brother Kurt sir, I think he wants to be the Kinney heir, Rigs replies to Brian.
KURT, DAM HIM, that bastard, if I find him I'll kill him, Brian yells at Rigs with pure anger in his voice.
Rigs sees the anger in Brian's face and watches as he starts to run toward the Kinney home.
SIR, NO, BRIAN STOP, Rigs yells as he runs after him.
Rigs catches up to Brian and turns the angry man to face him so he can tell the rest he knows.
Brian listen to me, I over heard one your fathers men at the house a while ago, I heard him telling your father that they….. well that they gave someone over a 100 lashes of the whip and castrated him too, your father's man said he was close to death, Brian... I believe he was talking about Jacob, I heard Lord Kinney tell the man he wants to kill the person that was whipped himself, he told the man to get a axe for him, Rigs tells Brian.
Brian is momentarily unable to move, and then he cries for Jacob.
Over a 100 lashes, he wouldn't have dared done that to Jacob, the Taylor's are a wealthy family in the colonies, Jacob's father would never allow my father to do that to his only son, Brian tells Rig trying to convince himself more then to convince Rigs.
Sir I heard your father calling the lashed man a fagot and he said the mans own father disowned him because of it and wants him dead, leaving how up to your father, Rigs replies.
Brian's realizing Rigs has to be right and begins to run towards the meeting place he and Jacob have in the woods hoping he's there waiting for him like they had planned, but on the way there he stumbles upon another clearing in the woods, and when he sees what happening there his heart almost stops.
Brian stops dead in his tracks horrified, Jacob's arms are stretched out over his head and he's suspended by ropes tied to his wrists, he is hanging from the limb of a old oak tree, Jacob has blood running down both his arms from where the course rope are tied to his wrists, Jacobs shirt has been ripped open exposing his bare back, and his back is all bloody from the lashes he has received, Brian is terrified when he sees Jacob is not moving fearing that he is already dead, but then realizes he's probably just unconscious from the pain he has to be in.
Brian runs over to Jacob calling out his name as he runs towards him, and Jacob weakly looks up at him.
Brian looks at his love horrified and then he sees he's been beaten besides being whipped, then Brian becomes sick and throws up when he sees that Jacob's crotch is bloody and blood has ran down his legs.
He cut off his manhood, Brian sobs as he looks at Jacob crying.
Jacob, Brian cries out as he starts to cut Jacob down.
Bri…. Go… they know about us…go…. Jacob mumbles as Brian holds him in his arms after he and Rigs cut him down.
Rigs helps Brian tend to Jacob as best as they can.
Rigs run and get a Doctor, Brian tells his friend.
Brian suddenly hears movement from behind them and then hears a familiar drunk voice cursing at him.
So you came for your little fagot boy did you, you ready to join him boy, he has nothing for you to put up your ass anymore, Lord Jack Kinney tells his eldest son in utter disgust.
Brian lays Jacob down and the stands in front of him to protect him from his father, Rigs meanwhile is dragged away by one of Lord Kinney's men to await his own punishment for helping the two lovers, and then Brian is held firm by two other men.
Father please, do not hurt him further please, father please I beg you, let Jacob go, do what you will with, me but let him go, Brian begs his father as he struggles to get free from the men holding him.
Lord Jack Kinney laughs at Brian and then hits him several times, then he signals his men to drag Jacob over to a log that has an axe stuck in it.
Brian realizes what his father intends to do to Jacob and then to him.
Soon your lover boy won't have anything for you to put your dick in, you know Brian maybe I'll do it nice and slow too to prolong the pain, get you both ready for the pain of hell, Lord Kinney drunkenly tells Brian.
Brian breaks free from the two men holding him and he runs toward his father in anger to stop him from hurting Jacob more, but three of his fathers men over power him before he reaches his father, Brian hears Jacob scream as Lord Kinney's men drag him toward the log.
Jacob, JACOB… Brian yells out to his lover who has now lost consciousness again from both the blood loss and the pain he's in.
Lord Jack laughs and has one of his men throw a bucket of cold water on Jacob to wake him up wanting him to feel all the pain he can.
Brian gets dragged to the tree Jacob was suspended from and whipped, and he's suspended by his arms the same way Jacob was, his shirt gets ripped open to expose his back just like Jacob's was.
Brian can see Jacob lying on the ground and watches as Lord Kinney picks up the axe nearby and he takes practice swings with it missing his target each time.
Brian hears someone come up from behind him, then hears a familiar laugh, that of his brother Kurt who moves in front of him to gloat.
Well, well, well dear brother how does it feel to no longer be father's favorite son and heir, Kurt asks him snickering?
Brian's face turns bright red with rage as he looks at his brother standing before him.
You will pay for this BROTHER, you're a dead man, do you hear me Kurt A DEAD MAN, Brian vows to him.
Hump, like you'll even be alive soon to carry out your threat Brian, you disgust me brother you and your perverted friend over there disgust me, Kurt replies to Brian.
You know Brian, I took great pleasure in telling both our father and Jacob's about the perverted things you two were doing, Kurt adds and laughs.
Lord Kinney notices his younger son and new heir standing talking to his brother, and he leaves the axe behind and approaches them.
Kurt… go home NOW, there's no need for you to witness the end of your disgusting and perverted brother and his lover, Lord Kinney tells Kurt with a evil look on his face.
Kurt gets a disappointed look on his face, as he wanted to watch and perhaps even help in ending his brother and Jacob's lives.
No father, please let me stay and help you punish them, Kurt begs Lord Jack.
NO, go back to the house RIGHT NOW KURT, GO, Lord Kinney yells at his younger son and new heir.
Kurt starts to walk back to the house as his father has ordered.
Brian watches his brother leave and then turns his attention back to his father.
Father PLEASE, please don't do this to Jacob, kill me if you want, but let Jacob live I beg you, Brian begs his father?
You'll be dead soon as well as Jacob, want me to wait until you're ready to die before I kill Jacob, so you perverts can enter the gates of hell together, Lord Kinney asks Brian?
You call us the perverts father, you're a Sadist, I know about all the innocent people you've burned as witches, I've heard stories about the torture you subjected them to before you burned them alive, you love torturing and killing, you're the sick one not us, Brian yells at Lord Kinney.
ENOUGH, Lord Kinney yells out in anger at Brian.
Lord Kinney walks over to Brian and punches his son several times, but Brian refuses to cry out.
Lord Kinney picks up the whip and is about to use it on Brian when a messenger from Kinney house runs up to him claiming that an aid to the Kings Governor is waiting for him with important news.
Lord Kinney looks at Jacob and then at his son and knows they can't escape, so he signals his men to stop and to return to the house with him.
Enjoy your last time alone together Brian, maybe Jacob can manage to suck your cock one last time, sorry you can't suck his, but it was burned along with his balls, Lord Kinney tells him and then laughs.
Lord Kinney and his men leave and Brian tries calling out to Jacob who does not answer him.
Brian prays that someone will come and help Jacob and him before his father returns to kill them.
Unseen by the departing Lord Jack or his men, Rigs Brian's faithful servant and friend has returned to try and help him and Jacob.
Rigs , thank god, how did you escape my fathers man, Brian asks him?
I killed him sir, I hit him with a rock when his back was turned, I didn't mean to, Rigs tells Brian.
Brian can see how distraught his friend is over killing a man, but he needs Rigs to focus on freeing them.
Help Jacob, Brian tells Rigs as Rigs starts to cut Brian down, Rigs gives Brian the knife he took off the man he killed after he has freed one of Brian's hands and then he runs over to Jacob.
Brian frees his other arm and joins Rigs in tending to Jacob's wounds.
Sir, you have to escape while you can, Rigs tells Brian.
Not without him, Brian replies to Rigs motioning toward Jacob.
Jacob opens his eyes and looks at Brian.
He's right my love GO, Jacob says in a low weak voice.
No we'll leave together just like we planned Jacob, Brian tells his dying lover.
Brian...it's to late for me, go, run, get out of here, Jacob replies to him in a low weak voice.
No, you're coming with me Jacob, you'll be fine, Brian tells his lover… or I'll join you in death.
The figure of a woman dressed in a dark hooded cloak stands in the woods watching Brian, Jacob and Rigs when suddenly she disappears from where she was standing and reappears in front of Brian, Jacob and Rigs.
The tree men are startled.
NO my son, you will not kill yourself, the strange woman tells Brian.
My son... who is this woman, what is she, Brian thinks to himself.
Help us who ever you are, please help us Jacob is dying, help us PLEASE, Brian begs the strange hooded woman.
I am here to help you Brian, but I cannot save Jacob Taylor's current life, the woman tells Brian as she kneels down and touches Jacob cheek.
If he can't be saved then I'm going to kill myself, Brian tells the strange woman and Rigs.
NO, the strange woman tells Brian again.
Who are you and what concern is it of yours what I do, Brian asks the woman as he tries to tend to Jacobs wounds?
The woman stands up and lowers her hood.
Rigs looks at the woman and is shocked that he recognizes her.
You... Rigs yells out to the woman.
You, you died 30 years ago,I was there when Lord Kinney…when he had you burned, Rigs adds sounding terrified.
The Woman laughs at Rigs and then bends down to talk to Brian who is still cradling the dying Jacob in his lap.
He will not live my son, but you must not die to be with him, I can save his soul so that he will return to you one day, the woman tells Brian.
The Woman turns toward Rigs and smiles at him.
Rigs you have fulfilled the task I gave you very well, for it was you that I entrusted my infant son to soon after his birth to protect from Lord Kinney, I asked you to take him to the home of Lord and Lady Kinney to replace the infant they had that died earlier that same night and was yet undiscovered, they never realized it was another baby lying in their sons crib the following morning, and they raised him as their son and heir, unfortunately a evil force has destroyed my plans for you my son, a evil power has taken hold of the Kinney's second son and he has tried to destroy you this night, but he knows not yet what you really are my son, you are a being that cannot be easily destroyed, one that will allow both you and Jacob to be together again in a distant time, the Woman tells Rigs and Brian.
Wait are you saying I'm your son not the Kinney's, Brian asks the woman shocked and relieved at the same time as the truth sinks in to him.
Yes you are my son, not theirs, and like me you posses strong powers of your own, powers soon to awaken as you transform into the powerful and immortal being, one that you were born to be, the woman tells Brian.
No, NO, I cannot live without Jacob, if you have powers then use them to save him for me, or tell me how I can, if you really are my mother you'll do this for me, Brian begs the woman.
I have already saved his soul Brian, as well as saved all his memories and feelings of this life, his body is injured and is beyond me ability to heal, his life here and now is over, but I have made it possible for you to be together in a future time, for he shall be reborn, and when he sees you in that distant time he will remember you, and when you and he make love for the first time he too will be transformed into a immortal being to walk beside you forever, Brian's mother tells him.
Brian looks unconvinced over what his mother has told him.
You saved his soul, HOW, how will I be around when he returns, what will I become soon that will allow me to live to find him again, Brian asks the woman?
You are to become a very powerful VAMPIRE my son for that is what your father is, I grant you the power to walk in the day light unaffected by the rays of the sun, you shall rest and eat human food as you wish, you will require human blood to live but will not need to kill to get it, I grant you the power to make others as you are so you are not alone in your new life while you wait Jacob's return, When he does return he will walk beside you and be immortal but not need blood to live, but he shall supply you with his to feed you, Brian's mother promises him.
Brian looks at the almost dead Jacob and kisses him on the lips one last time as Jacob takes his last breath, then Brian watches as Jacob's sprite rises from his body and stands before him holding out his arms for one last embrace, Brian rises and Jacob's sprite envelops him and Brian feels Jacob's love for him one last time, as Jacob disappears Brian hears his voice in the wind.
Find me my love, find me and remind me of our love so I can be yours again forever, Brian hears Jacob's voice say.
Brian suddenly falls to the ground.
It is done, Brian's mother says.
Brian's mother kneels beside her son and strokes his hair as she waits for his transformation to be complete.
Eternity begins now my son, Brian's mother tells him as she strokes his hair.
Brian suddenly opens his eyes and looks up at his mother.
Brian rises to his feet and stands now beside his mother and then he looks towards Rigs who has witnesses everything, Rigs backs away in fear of Brian, Brain's mother realizes Rigs will not accept what has happened to Brian, but before she can tell Brian, Brian's blood lust overpowers him and he attacks Rigs taking 3 pints of his blood which knocks him out cold, Brian gently lays his friend on the ground to sleep and looks up at his mother.
He will not go with you my son, I shall remove all memories of this night from his mind, do not worry about him, he will be fine my son and awaken in a few hours, Brian's mother tells him.
Give him this from me mother, it's money I planned to leave him so he can leave Kinney house, Brian tells his mother as he hands it to her.
It shall be done my thoughtful son, Brian's mother tells him.
Brian's mother performs a spell over Rigs to make him forget that night and then she places the money into his pocket and casts another spell that moves the unconscious Rigs to a place of safety, and out of Lord Kinney's reach forever.
Brian and his mother then walk away from the clearing and into the woods, before the clearing is out of his new Vampire eyesight Brian takes one last look towards Jacob's body and he sees it disappear.
I cast a spell to give him a proper resting place, one that Lord Kinney will never find.
Brian nods in appreciation for her protecting Jacobs's body from further harm by Lord Kinney.
Mother, how will I find Jacob again, and when will he return to me, Brian asks her while they walk thru the woods together?
You will feel when the time is right by a special feeling you will get one that will grow the closer he is to you, do not worry my son, Jacob will find you he shall be guided to you, it may take centuries my son but he will return to you and you will know when he does, you have my promise on that Brian, I shall always be with you my son and watch over you, I love you so much Brian, I wish with all my heart for you and Jacob to be reunited and to be happy for eternity, Brian's mother tells him.
Mother, I want to avenge Jacob and myself from my so-called father and brother, they cannot get away with what they did to us, neither can Jacob's father, will you help me, Brian asks his mother?
Yes Brian, I will assist in you in getting your revenge for it is my revenge too, but be warned your brother is the son of a very powerful being, like you he was placed in the Kinney home, Kurt's own mother is very, very evil, but I shall deal with her this night as you deal with her son and your father, but be warned even if Kurt's body is destroyed his spirit may still return one day to seek his own revenge against you, Brian's mother warns him.
Over the next several hours Brian and his mother take out their revenge on Lord Kinney, all his men, and on Kurt and his mother, Brian's mother attacks Kurt's mother and is victorious in their battle, Kurt is tortured as Jacob was before Brian kills him by burning him alive.
Lady Kinney also died that night, but of a heart attack which left Brian now as the only Kinney, the people of the village believed that the evil Lord Kinney and his youngest son and all his men had sailed to the mother country at the request of the Kings Governor, no one missed any of them, the villagers were also happy to learn of Lady Kinney's death as she too was disliked by all.
Brian took the Kinney wealth, lands and titles and remained in the village, Brian had a new house built for himself and then burned the old Kinney home to the ground, Brian continued to live in the Pittsburgh area spending his time building up his fortune and waiting for Jacob's return.
End flashback.
Present time Babylon.
Bri, want to dance with me, Michael asks begs him in that whiny voice Brian hates.
Who's that, Brian asks Michael pointing at the shirtless muscle man with Michael?
Oh yeah this is Ben, Michael replies.
Well go dance with him and leave me alone Mickey, Brian tells Michael.
But Brian I want to dance with you, Michael whines.
Michael realizes Brian is not listening to him and be starts to whine to get his attention.
BRRIIAAN, are you listening to me, Michael asks him?
Ted and Emmett cringes at the sound of Michael's whining voice.
Michael baby take your hunk of a man and go dance and leave Brian alone, Emmett tells him as he looks into Michael's eyes.
Earth to Brian, Ted says to Brian snapping his fingers in front of him.
Michael takes Ben's hand and pulls him to the dance floor.
Nicely done Emmett, Ted tells him at Emmett's use of of compulsion powers.
Thanks ted, Emmet replies.
Bri, are you OK, Ted asks him?
It's him, Brian says out loud in response to Theodore.
