The Lil Thief
Chapter 2, A Redeeming Quest?
Jade the next day walks into a park and looking around spots Lestat, who is currently leaning against a light post slightly bobbing his head. She gets closer and stops as she gets close enough to hear him singing softly to himself, she stands transfixed as if in a trance.
The hunger inside given to me makes me what I am
Always it is calling me, for the blood of man
They say I cannot be this I am jaded
Hiding from the day
I can bear, I cannot tame the hunger in me
Oh I say I did it, always searching
You can't mess with fate
So, instead you'll taste my pain
The hunger inside given to me makes me feel alive
Always out stalking prey
In the dark I hide
Feeling, Falling, Hating, Feel like, I am fading, hating LIFE
Lestat chuckles to himself as he stops singing and notices Jade. He reaches up to his ear and removes a headphone. "Good you're on time. And alone, slightly worried you'd have told your uncle about this meeting."
Lestat smirks as she blinks and shakes her head, "okay then you said we'd be stopping some other criminals. But despite it being my duty to stop them I'm gonna want something in return." Lestat resumes to chuckle at this, "of course, don't worry you will receive a most valuable prize. Now our first stop is on a boat near the Amazon so grab on we have to use the rabbit talisman."
Seconds later they arrive on the boat. "Okay we're going to split up, you check the upper decks, I'll check the lower deck. Use these talismans." Lestat hands Jade some talismans then takes off. She opens her hand and looks over what she was given, "snake, ox, and dog."
She blinks then passes one of the talismans into her other hand while pocketing the third. She activates the snake and disappears.
Downstairs Lestat smiles as he opens a door, he enters to see his prey stand up and upon seeing who entered the room become fearful. "What Lestat, how'd you find me?"
The thief puts his hands in his pockets and looks very much like he'd have been a boss just finding his henchmen goofing off. "Thought you could get away from me did you Nivor? In our last encounter your cook surprised me and knocked me out." he enters the room and closing the door looks around, surveying the room. He spots some jewelry on the wall next to him.
"This time around he'll have his own concerns. Right now I've come to collect on the blood you owe me." Nivor unsheathes a sword that was next to the chair he was in and points it at his intruder. Lestat only laughs and jumps onto the table next to Nivor, the sword following him.
"Didn't you learn anything from the last time Nivor? I am going to stop your little eating reign of terror." Lestat lifts up a part of his cape, "You did make a meal out of one of my brethren after all." Nivor growls as a bat flies out from under the cape, "You have no chance to stop me, remember."
Lestat smirks his toothy smile, "as Dracula said on Van Helsing, 'you can't kill me." Lestat walks toward the sword and pushes himself onto it until he's face to face with the man. "I'm already dead," Lestat's eyes suddenly blaze up as he opens his mouth and lets out a hiss causing Nivor to let go of the weapon.
The human then backs up, and trips over a foot stool. Lestat leaps into the air and lands on Nivor, effectively pinning him to the ground. "Now I've bled twice because of you, it'd been easier on you if you just turned yourself in and let me hand you to the cops. Now I'm afraid," Lestat pinches Nivor's nose and moves his head side to side.
"you must provide some blood in return." before Nivor can ask about what he means he cries out briefly as his arm is stuck with a needle, his blood flowing into a blood bag. "I've been meaning to break into a blood bank but this'll work out just as well."
Jade sighs as she walks down the stairs to the lower decks, the ox talisman allowing her to drag the large cook behind her. She stops as she notices Nivor leave a room down here only to hum to himself as he walks by her.
"Hmm wonder where the nearest police station is to turn myself in to." Jade stares at him in confusion as he walks by not noticing her. She walks over to and looks in the room to see a second Nivor get turned into a fly.
She gasps when she spots Lestat, the sword still sticking out of his chest. Her eyes widen as he grabs the hilt and pulls it from his body. "Hey Jade be with ya in a second okay."
She blinks as now he brings a bag of red liquid to his face and bites into it. Once the bag has been emptied he drops it and lets out a satisfied hissing sound before looking at his partner, eyes returned to normal. He walks over to her and passing by her ear stops.
"we're through here, Nivor has been 'ying/yanged' and the evil half turned fly so lets go we got a couple more stops." she turns to stare at him a moment longer before she follows behind him, the wound healed only the clothes left evidence of the swords presence.
"Wait how could you do that? And what was that red stuff you drank?" Lestat chuckles darkly as he lowers his head, the bat from earlier flies out of the room and grabs onto the bottom of Lestat's arm that he held out. "The hunger inside given to me, makes me what I am. Always it is calling me, for the blood of man."
Lestat looks back up into the eyes of Jade, who is now staring with a range of emotions. Fear, worry, and last excitement, "you mean you're a real blood sucking vampire. Uncle said the blood sucking ones didn't exist though some chi sucking ones do."
Amused laughter emits from Lestat as he puts the arm with the bat underneath the cape and extracts it bat free. "Yes the one who turned me spoke of those guys, they sound pathetic. But for your info I'm only half otherwise this adventure would've taken place at night not the day time. But come, our next target is in Africa looking to gain back something lost to him."
flashback
Lestat, about 2 years younger, darts in between people. All around people are partying, once he makes it out of the crowd the little boy reaches into a purse he snatched and pulls out several wallets. "Party people are easy to target. With this my family can eat for a good while."
The kid freezes as someone speaks up behind him. "You know I can help you make that money last longer for them." Lestat spins around to stare at a well dressed gentleman with a cape. "I can make it where you won't need the money and your family can use every cent. All I ask is that you obey me, your talents could help me quite a bit."
young Lestat looks down at the money he stole then back at the man, "don't know what'd you want me to do though." the man smiles revealing his sharp teeth, "your just going to help me get inside some houses and take some things that rightly belong to me."
Lestat lowers his gaze for a second then looks back up. "Alright, as long as I don't have to hurt nobody. I just want money." the stranger chuckles as he bends down to the young boys height, "don't worry, you won't have to harm anyone just leave that part to me."
begin another
Lestat stands looking out over the city, currently he's on top of an apartment building. "So Master, all vampires come from you then?" "No young one, there are several different types I just happen to be the perfect version. The others are failures, chi vampires are limited by normal water and are blind until they have sucked sufficient chi. the other types…"
End
Lestat smiles to himself as he speeds along the water, going fast enough to stay on top but not at top speed. His headphones blaring the music into his ear, while singing the song his hearing and keeping Jade in a trance like before.
I'm over it.
You see I'm falling in a vast abyss
Clouded by memories of the past
At last I see
I hear it fading
I can't speak it
Or else you will dig my grave
You feel them finding
Always whining
Take my hand
Now be alive
You see I cannot be forsaken
Because I'm not the only one
We walk amongst you
Feeding, raping
Must we hide from everyone?
I'm over it
Why can't we be together?
Embrace it
Sleeping so long
Taking off the masks
At last I see
My fear is fading
I can't speak it
Or else you will dig my grave
You fear them finding
Always whining
Take my hand
Now be alive
You see I cannot be forsaken
Because I'm not the only one
We walk amongst you
Feeding, raping
Must we hide from everyone?
You see I cannot be forsaken
Because I'm not the only one
We walk amongst you
Feeding, raping
Must we hide from everyone?
Everyone
Everyone
Heh just thought I'd end this one with a song; queen of the damned is my favorite vampire movie with Dracula 2000 very close behind so this is my use of both.
