I have seen an angel
Hi everyone , thank you for all your reviews ! I cannot believe so many people read my fanfiction.
Here is the new chapter, enjoy!
Chapter 2 : Seducing the innocent
After having been told her story, Eric wanted to possess Susanna. But it would not be easy to convince her to come with him. She could not be glamoured or approached because of her silver cross. It is the reason why he ended up pretending to be the angel she believed him to be.
He played a new character, very different from his usual cold and bickering self. He had to be open-minded, kind, comprehensive and first and foremost nice. It was quite a change for him. After all these years as a vampire, he was used to be obeyed and feared.
Which position should he take? He could not reveal himself as a vampire. She did not trust him yet but in the same time he needed to take her away from religion.
Maybe he could make her believe that her religious community was not made for her. He could deal with a Christian girl even if it would be harder to make a move on her, but well he liked challenges.
He knelled in front of her.
"My child, your prayers have been heard and an angel has come to save your soul. I am here for you ..."
She raised her head and he drowned himself in her deep black eyes. Odin, she was even cuter closer. He had to control himself or his fangs would have dropped and scared her. Her eyes were so deep, making him want to explore her soul completely.
"Really Eric ? You are not here to take me to hell or to purify me ?" she wondered
Shit , what should I say ! There he had an idea!
"Our father, bless him, had send me here to help you, not to kill you. Fear not little one. The Savior is happy with your actions. Your devotion and your efforts to purify yourself have been heard."
"I will be saved despite my evil power, my darkness?"
"Where have you heard that such a power is an evil thing ?"
"What ?! It is not evil according to you? Then why am I considered a monster by the others?"
"Fear is a common answer to something you do not understand, little one. However it doesn't mean that you are a monster. On the contrary I would say that you have been chosen Susanna. Our Lord has decided to give you this power for a reason and I have come here to make you realize your mission and stop blaming yourself."
Eric truly believed a part of his speech, even though he had to say it pretending to be someone else. Such a power was a gift from the Gods and had to be used and she will use it, even if he has to force her. The fear part was also something he really thought. In the millennium he had lived as an undead, he had been forced to observe many times the stupidity of the human beings and their hypocrisy. Every little thing that was considered different would immediately be seen as bad and dangerous. He had seen wars taking place just to defend some religious beliefs. He had been in Europe during the 30 Year War in Germany and had not been pleased with what he had seen. Germans were killing one another just to make their religion win and in the end thousands of people died. People ended up starved and for a few years human flesh was sold cheaper at butchers' shops than beef's.
The worse was that no true solution had been found at that time.
And people dare to say that Vikings were violent and bloody? At least, vikings were making wars for reasons such as territory or treasures, not for ideologies or faiths."Be pratical, that is the key word of success "his father said once. He knew how it was, he had been a warrior and the ideas were mostly dedicated on finding the best way to win the battle, nothing more. You had to make compromises and ignore your personal opinions in order to survive.
In the end, he had mostly lost his faith in humanity, seeing them as food more than anything else.
"What mission? Am I some sort of Joan of Arc? Do I need to died for the Savior?" Susanna wondered.
Joan of Arc? The crazy French girl who thought she was send by God to help her king win the war and was betrayed and killed? Did she think that he would kill her?
"No, child, your power was a present given by God. Thanks to your ability to read minds, you can listen to mankind's sins. In your way, thanks to your pious actions and open mind, you allow people to be forgiven and absolved of their mistakes and crimes. It is a shame that the church and your nunnery did not realize your usefulness. But our God did notice and sent me to tell you so."
"So all these years of suffering and fear were in the name of God, for the good of Humanity ? " she asked in disbelief ? "Are you kidding me?"
"I am afraid, I am not, my child. And I am very sorry to hear you were blamed for that gift! The church seems to have change a lot since its birth. The apostles received the power to communicate in every language from the Christ and no one among believers saw them as monsters, they were the gifted ones.
Do not believe what the nunnery tells you, only follow your heart and our God's message ."
"So the nunnery is wrong in its judgment? But what about the parabola about the witch and the fact that she should not be trusted?"
"Since when are you a witch? You never put a spell on people, no matter what they believe and you received the gift, you did not seek it . Trust me child, this is very different in the eyes of the Lord."
Susanna appeared more and more lost in thoughts and her eyes were searching the room, expecting a sign, a miracle that would confirm that what the angel said was true. But there was no such sign and she had to make up her mind herself.
"I don't know what to think anymore Eric …."she whispered, talking mostly to herself.
Eric, thanks to his old age and his supernatural earring, heard her.
"I just came here to tell you those things, you are welcome to think anything of these facts "
Eric decided he had said enough for the night, the sun will raise in a few hours and he needed a shelter for the day. He came back to the window and just before jumping, he turned back and said ",think well Sister Susanna ..I will come back and talk to you again...Good bye "and he jumped .
She shuttered and had a faint cry , which died quickly when she saw his faint flying form leaving her nunnery and flying to the lights of Liverpool.
Eric left Susanna quite happy with himself . He had make her doubt and soon the young nun that was already alone among her pairs ,will start to question her faith. He was sure of it .
Soon she would be his and he would be able to feel her body under his. Soon he will taste her blood and savor her virginity , violently taken. Fafnir, he already wanted her .
Damn he needed blood !
He landed in an alley near the center of the city. This area was not really what would be called a clean or tasteful neighborhood. Hookers were plenty in this part of the city. Many had a man, even two in their arms and were kissing them, laughing vulgarly.
In alleys, young girls, some not even teenagers yet, where pushed against walls and fucked like animals. They did not even made a sound, used to be treated roughly. They waited for the men to finish and give them a few shillings.
Eric was used to these scenes- some things never changed no matter what time or century it is -but he still felt a great amount of pity for these children forced to work or sell the bodies in exchange of something to eat, abandoned by their parents and society . It was in these moments that he thought of Godric and his years as a sex slave for his roman master.
He walked quickly. He wanted to find a quick meal in a quiet, discrete area ,not one full of people like here.
It was in this moment that he was hit on by a couple of children , or so it seemed .
One of them , a young blond boy with a lot freckles , spoke first .
"Sir, are you interested in a little escapade with the two of us ? "
Escapade ? Where did he learned such a word ? Wondered Eric . His eyes wandered on the young children - they were not more than 8 or 10 , the girls did not even had breasts yet , that was sick . Who would want to have these children ? Many perverted people he realized .
"Kid , how old are you honestly ? "
"Sir , we may be young but we already have plenty of experience if that's what you want to know. You will be our third client tonight"
"Kids , I just wondered , I don't want you ."
"Really sir ? "Asked the boy with a bit of hope before he was shut up by his , Eric supposed , sister who whispered "don't forget that we need a penny at least today "
Eric heard it and was not pleased. He was not usually this kind. Killing humans, he was used to it. They were barely different from animals to him and he did not have pity. Children? That was a different matter. No matter how cruel and bloodthirsty he was, he couldn't kill innocent children. That was his only weakness as a vampire.
Today was these kids lucky day. He would spare them and perhaps more.
He took the children in a close alley and glamoured them quickly.
"Now kids, take me to your boss and believe that I had a wonderful time with you . Take these 100 pounds and pay for school with this. Beware of strangers, do not trust anyone and never say you have money. Do not tell your boss or anyone about it ".
The two nodded and took him to a brothel quite close. They climbed the stairs in the middle of a hall full of people drinking and laughing and knocked at a door.
A vulgar and aggressive voice answered the knock .
"Come innnn and quickly ..!"
Eric decided he already hated the owner of this voice.
The three came in and faced a fat, red-faced man who reeked of alcohol.
"Amy, Brian you are already back?! Where is my money ! you useless things better have it or you won't eat for a few days ! "he said while scratching his crotch.
Eric was disgusted by this display.
It was only after that he noticed the man behind the two children .
"You ...Who are you ? Are you a client ? "
Eric smiled with his fangs and said sweetly " Yes ...I am " and he jumped at the man .
The man had a loud scream but he was quickly shut up as Eric shred his throat and then his stomach to pieces. He wanted the guy to suffer.
The man fell on his chair loudly, dead. The children did not react much and gave a strange smile to Eric.
"See, Amy, said Brian, I told you that an angel would come and save us one day "
"You were right Brian. Now we are free"
"Me an angel ? Again? Liverpool people truly are something else ", chuckled Eric with a faint smile.
He suddenly thought of Susanna and her wonderful breasts. He really needed to get laid.
After whipping the blood from his mouth and taking of his coat covered with blood and guts, he climbed down the stairs, looking for a cute blond hooker with big breasts .
He found one after a few minutes and in less than ten minutes , he was inside her, trusting violently . He pushed her against a wall and took her from behind, his hands on her breasts . She screamed in pain and pleasure. He finished quickly and gave her a pound before leaving .
Today really had been a strange day.
