Chapter2: Spiraling into pools of darkness

Gabriel looked from this "Damian" to James. "What!? You are pullin' my leg or something. I thought you said Vampirism for a second. We both know that's fake and all. Why joke around like that?" He quickly eyed up Damian and then looked to James. Damian looked rather intimidating in lose black pants and a black shirt and jacket. Gabriel sighed as he looked back at James. "So who is this guy really? Some cousin or something of yours or friend of your sisters I never met?" James laughed loud and full. "You think I was kidding! Look at my fingers" He held up both hands. Gabriel looked to see scars on all the finger tips. "Big deal. Scars, what about the one on your neck mister Vampire!?" now it was Gabriel's turn to laugh.

James smiled again showing no hint of being mocked. "Scared to believe? Think back. All those times that you and I slept at each others houses, ever feel like you were lightheaded afterwards? Or feel small cuts or pokes that weren't there before? How do you think Mr. Dievos knew about your blood?! Every time you sleep at my house or I at yours I took a syringe and took amounts of your blood. Large and small and even bottled some for him to try. Now it's the real test weather you will join or run.

Gabriel looked shocked, and a little frightened "But…" he knew it was true and no amount of denying it would only give them fun. So now he had a decision… Join or Run as he put it. "If what you're telling me is true, what do you expect me to do?" James and Damian looked at each other and nodded James spoke. "We go back to my house and discuss this and take the next step if you decide to." Gabriel looked a little uneasy then nodded. "How will we be getting there? Am I driving or are you?" Damian looked a little uneasy for the first time and spoke in a horse whisper once again. "We will be traveling on foot. You can drive and meet us there." He looked a little confused "Travel on foot? Its like a 20 minute car ride Ill be waiting for hours." Damian laughed and walked out with James right behind him. He grabbed a drink then walked out after them jumping into his car seeing them nowhere in sight. He started the car and drove home thinking about his decision the whole way.

Gabriel sighed as he got home planning to wait and listen to some music in his car but was shocked to see lights on in the house. He went over and opened the door to see James and Damian sitting in the living room talking in the soft light. "How did you…?" Gabriel began but Damian cut him off. "This is no time for questions. Have you thought of your choice? What do you decide to do? The ball is in your court." Gabriel was about to speak when there was a knock at the door. Gabriel being closest to it stood up and went to answer it, finding no one there. He shrugged but heard the knock again. "It's coming from the back. I'll get it." He walked down a small flight of 3 stairs to get the door to find a small purple skinned man there. "Err… James it's for you."

He heard James growl then down the stairs to the back room. Gabriel walked back up and sat across from Damian. He head a yell from James a sickening sound and a thud. Damian was up and down the stairs before Gabriel could bat an eye. "What the…" he was cut off by a yelled curse and sound of a fight. He ran down the stairs to see blood everywhere. A streak across the wall and a puddle under a body. He shuddered when he recognized it, it was James. Damian was locked in a fight with the purple skinned man both had daggers drawn. Gabriel looked to the body of his friend then back to the fight his mind wanting him to run but his body not responding. In total shock he looked back to see Damian thrust his dagger into the purple man and rip it out with a roar blood flying back across the other wall. The man crumpled to the ground and died the life in his eyes quickly fading.

Damian sighed deeply looking over to James's body. "I will miss him, he was a good apprentice." Gabriel looked back to the body and promptly vomited. As soon as he stopped Damian approached him. "We need to talk. I do not know if more will be following but there is a reason he was here." Gabriel nodded not being able to say anything. He followed Damian back to the front room and sat down keeping to himself. "I am afraid you have no choice but to accompany me." Damian said in a calm tone. Gabriel looked at him. "My best friend just died. I don't have to do anything besides call the police or my parents!" Damian shook his head. "It wont do much good mainly get you in trouble, you are the only witness besides me and I am not going to comply." Gabriel silently knew it was useless as soon as he said it. "If I am to become a….." "Vampire" Damian finished for him. "Yes that. I need to know more about it."

Damian nodded solemnly and sighed. "I agree but we must hurry. We may not be safe for much longer." Gabriel sighed himself and nodded. "I understand but First, Why did he kill James?" Damian stated quickly and calmly. "Because normally there are not vampire children James was an acceptation as you will be also. He needed to be eliminated sadly the Vampeneze will know that the one downstairs is dead and they will assume that he accomplished his mission before I got to him, witch is true, So we are both in danger." Gabriel nodded again afraid to say much more but found his courage. "Alright, how did you two get here so fast?" Damian smiled. "I was hoping that would come up, always amazes people. We flitted moving incredibly fast. You will see it very soon, your questions must wait we will have to be going. We will travel to my own home where we will begin your training. I assume I will blood you on the way; we will have about 3 months of training before we must leave. To the Cave of blood!"
