.:RECAP:.

OK so Lia and Brandon went to Gotham. They had to move once again and when they got to Lia ha dot leave to go and catch her dinner. After she had ate she met the one the only the invincible Joker. Well maybe not invincible but you know what I mean.

So on with the story

Begin…….MWAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!

I just looked at the card that the Joker had handed to me and all I could do was smile. I couldn't wait until I got home to tell Brandon. I decided to do a little site seeing before I went home. I discovered that the city was full of crime I was really going to blend in. I thought that I should have one more meal before going back. I found another man in an alleyway. Just like before I dropped down behind him and ate very quickly before I could get caught. When I had finished the man slowly turned to look up at me and he just looked scared out of his mind before he died. I just stood there with a smirk. I shook my head and laughed.

Suddenly I felt another presence behind me. I turned around to look at a man dressed in a black suit and he had a mask with gay little pointed ears. Oh and let's not forget the cape. As I looked at him I could only laugh. I mean I was on the floor rolling laughing. He just stood there looking at me. After about 5 minutes of pure laughing I finally stood up and wiped away at the tears. I regained my composure and stared at him.

"What are you?" I asked.

"What did you do to that man?" He gestured towards the man that is dead on the ground.

"What? Who? Me? I did absolutely nothing, are you accusing me of something?"

"I'll only ask this one more time, what did you do to him?"

"Fine I'll tell you. He was my meal and now he is dead."

"What do you mean by your meal?"

"I'll show you."

I then leaped at him baring my fangs and he just looked petrified. I stopped just a couple of inches of his face. I then threw my fist into face and sent him flying. He landed in the side of a garbage dumpster. He stood up quickly and I was on him. I picked him up and held him in the air. He seemed to be surprised by this. I dropped him to the ground.

"You see I am not human and with that I will take my leave." I fled.

I hopped onto the roofs and ran to my new house following my Brandon's scent. I arrived at the house and was amazed. It was beautiful. It looked like a castle, it had three stories and a bunch of windows. I 

stood outside of our gate. It was a simple black iron gate. It had a lion's head in the center. I noted all of the cameras everywhere. Brandon probably did it, just for safety measures. I saw a couple of lights on. As I approached the house I saw that it was made of a gray colored brick. There was a fountain in the center of our drive-way. There was grass on all sides. I bet the backyard is gorgeous.

The circle driveway led up to the stair of the double black front doors. I did not know how beautiful this house was when I got it online. I am really shocked. I usually didn't stay in places like this. I usually got the shitty run down houses that you would only see in you know common Scooby-doo movies. You know that place where the bad guy always hides. Well that's the kind of places that I would get. What something wrong with that, heh I thought not. So where was I oh yeah I remember. I walked up to the front door and slowly opened it. All of the furniture was already set-up inside. As soon as you walked in there you were in a great hall. There were stairs on both sides. To the left I could see the open kitchen. It was all white with black appliances and a black island. Heck even the countertop was black it was really nice.

To the right I could see another room. Maybe it was a living room. Well I walked in there I saw Brandon sleeping on the couch facing the TV. I smiled top myself. I went and found a blanket and covered him up. I kissed him on the check.

"Goodnight my son."

With that I left him and walked around the house. I went to the stairs and walked up there. Let me tell you there were many bedrooms and many bathrooms. All of the furniture was already unpacked and set-up. I also noticed new furniture, that's funny I wonder when Brandon bought all of this. I went back downstairs and slowly found the basement. The stairs were old and felt like they were going to break under me. It was pitch black and I could see everything though. There was a small window but it looked like it could be easily covered up. There was also another door in the corned that probably led to the backyard. I walked over to it and it had chains on it and a lock. Brandon must of have already got to it.

My bed was over to by the door. The black frame stood out for some reason. I walked over and saw the black silk quilt and purple silk sheets. I jumped on my bed and let out a sigh. I grabbed one of the purple pillows and breathed in deeply. I go up and noted all of the vampire paintings on the walls. I did those back in the 1800's. I cannot believe that Brandon found them and put them up. I know the only rooms that he had actually done were my room and his. I went over to my dresser and opened it, he even packed away all of my clothes. There was also a closet, once again I opened it and he put away all of my clothes away.

Man that boy over works himself. He needs a pay raise, oh wait I don't pay him. Ah oh well I get him something. There in the middle of the room was my black marble coffin. It was already propped open and in the middle of the red silk there was a note.

Lia,



As you can see I already did all of your decorating. I knew that we were moving into a bigger place so yes I did buy more furniture. The paintings were found when the decorators were unpacking our stuff. Yes I did hire decorators but as you can see not the normal ones. They told me about them and I put them up in your room. I hope that you were happy with the city and your 'meal' I'll see you tomorrow.

Brandon

Thanks

I just smiled and shook my head. Man he was just too good at his job. I then found my laptop on my desk, he plugged in my iPod for me. I looked over at my grandfather clock and saw that the sun would be coming up in about half an hour. I grabbed my iPod and climbed into my coffin. The stand that it was sitting on creaked as I climbed in. I closed the lid and turned on my iPod. I closed my eyes and listened to the song. It was 'Walk into the Darkness' By ICP. I smiled and went to sleep.

I awoke to Brandon being a couple of inches from my face. I screamed and he laughed. He was bending over and laughing his heart out. I was catching my breath and calming my non-existing heart.

"WHAT THE HELL WERE YOU TRYING TO DO?!"

"HAHA...I...HAHA…Was…HAHA…trying to...HAHA…wake you...HAHA...up!" He said in-between breaths of laughter.

"Ok ok I'm up now what do you want?"

"Well today I went out and hassled a few of the so called 'thugs' around here and I found out something interesting."

"Well what is it?"

"This city has its own vigilante and it's called 'The Batman'. Apparently they also have the top notch mob bosses and criminals here. The police are crooked and easily bribed. Oh so are the lawyers and shit."

"Well then in that case find out about a meeting. We'll go there and introduce ourselves."

"Alright I already did that. There's one tomorrow morning. They only meet in the daylight cause of the Batman. It'll have all of the bosses and shit. They are having this meeting because somebody named 'the Joker' stole from them."

"Ok wait did you say the Joker?"

"Yeah why?"

"Last night I met this man who looked like a clown. He watched me eat then gave him his card and told me to call him when I wanted a plaything or something like that."

"Oh sounds interesting."



"So do you know what this Batman looks like?"

"No but I can find out why?"

"After my second meal I ran into another guy. He wore all black and had gay little ears and this really annoying raspy voice. I fought him it was fun for like 10 seconds and left."

"Ok well that could be him there's also another one called 'The Scarecrow' I think and he uses some kind of toxin to bring out your fears and shit. From what I heard he's probably to be most feared right now due to the toxins."

"Yeah I know but none of that will work on me and you know that."

"Yeah I know but just be careful."

"You know I am. I'm going to sleep for a couple of hours then I am going to go out and eats A LOT. If I am to go out in the morning then I will need all of the extra blood that I can get."

"Alright so about tomorrow"

And with that they began to discuss their plans for the invasion of the meeting tomorrow. About 20 minutes later Brandon left and I went back to sleep. I slept for about 3 more hours then I left to go and eat. I found a slumber party and had 6 your girls. God that was good I burnt down the house and made it look like they had got drunk and accidently spilt alcohol and fell asleep with burning cigarettes. I knew that I had enough blood for a couple of days. I hate the sun it s so bright and yellow.

I went home and jumped into my coffin. I went to sleep to pass time until the sun to come up. I jumped up and got dressed in my suit or outfit, whatever you want to call it. I walked up the stairs and found Brandon waiting for me. We just nodded at each other. We walked into our garage and got into separate vehicles. He had a black Escalade Truck. I don't really know what it's called because I prefer bikes. I hopped onto my baby. It's a black Kawasaki ZZR®600. It's painted black and the chrome is all silver. It does not have a tag and its says Ninja777 on the left and right sides. This baby can haul some ass.

He was out of the driveway first and I followed him we were weaving in and out of traffic. Which made me realize that we were late for this meeting and that I was going to hear about this later. We were doing at least 90 and still no cops chasing us. We came to an old ass place that I would personally like to burn down for some reason. I shook my head and hopped off my bike I grabbed the keys and put them in my bra. I parked on the driver side of Brandon's truck. He climbed out. We both silently put on our masks and checked our weapons. We both and pouches around our waists that had shurikens, and had swords on our backs. We went straight for the shadows and silently headed in side. We saw their so called security and easily evade it by climbing on the ceiling. When we got into the room I saw a bunch of guys sitting around a tables talking to a TV.

'How lame' I told Brandon in his head.



Then I saw him. The Joker, ha sat at the end of the table and they talked. I wasn't listening but I knew Brandon was. I was just waiting for the perfect opportunity moment to jump down. It came right after Joker did his magic trick, which made me chuckle in my head. I jumped down and landed silently behind one of the guys and I shoved my sword through him. I pulled it out and watched his body fall to the ground. He landed next to the guy who had a pencil in his eye. There was a blood pool forming around him. All of the men jumped out of their seats.

"WHO THE FUCK ARE YOU?" Someone yelled.

Brandon took this moment to jump down behind him. Brandon put his sword around the guy's throat. They all looked scared, hell I would be too if I just saw 2 kick ass ninjas come out of nowhere. I nodded to Brandon to let him know not to kill him.

"Who are you?" Asked the man that was just spared.

"Brandon." He said coldly as he took off his mask.

They waited for me to do the same. I just sighed and took off my mask. They all gasped. I mean come on were they not expecting a woman, fucking male chauvinists.

"I am the vampire Lia."

"Oh Oh I remember you. You were the one that I got to watch play the other night." The Joker said excitedly.

"Yes I am th—"I was interrupted.

"There ain't no such things as vampires." A thug said.

With my vampire speed I was behind him and his head was off. TO them it was in the blink of an eye. I picked up the head and held it up for them. Now that I was in the back of the room everyone seemed to scoot closer to the front, towards the Joker.

"Yes there are. Oh wait you still don't believe do you." I smiled evilly and laughed. I tossed the head into the middle of the room.

"Now that is done and over with. I came to say that I will be in your city and will be living off of you mortals and will be enjoying every last minute of hunting you down. I will eat whoever and whenever. You will not tell me what to do simply because you are lower than me. If one of you even think to attempt to put a hit on me, I will make you suffer and show you fear that you could not even possibly imagine." I stared at them.

I pointed to the black man.

"You are thinking about the hit, I can read your mind fuck nut. I am a vampire that shows no mercy. And with that we will exit."



Brandon and I regrouped and backed towards the shadows in the corner of the room. We took a slight bow to show our appreciation.

"Thank you for your time, I do appreciate it" I said with a smirk.

We retreated through the shadows and left. Once outside we hauled ass getting back, knowing that I didn't have much time before I could die of 'heat exhaustion.'

When we got back to the house, Brandon had to help me get inside. He quickly took me to the basement or my room and set me on my bed. He left and came back a couple of minutes later with a few bags of blood. Now you are probably wondering why don't I just always drink the bags, 3 reasons; 1) it has a nasty taste 2) I like the "hunt" 3) it makes me feel weak and inferior. He popped them into my fangs and I drunk it quickly. Within about 10 minutes I had consumed 8 bags of blood and that's a shit load. Told you to walk in the sun, we need A LOT of blood.

He left with the bags. I watched him climb up the stairs and leave. I rolled over onto my side already feeling my energy returning. I was still in my ninja outfit and decided to get up and change. I took off my suit and put on a black camisole and a pair of black shorts. I went to sleep for a couple of hours when I heard Brandon walk towards my door. When he entered I rolled back over and looked up at him. He looked a little nervous, not physically but in his eyes.

"What's going on?"

"You have company."

I looked at him strangely and tilted my head to the side.

"The Joker had us followed and he's here."

I knew why he was nervous, he's mortal and can die. I sighed and nodded to him. I plopped down on my bed and waited for The Joker to come down here. I listened to Brandon's footsteps, when he went into the main hall and then I heard a few other pairs. There were 4 other guys there besides Brandon and The Joker. I listened to them as they approached. Brandon led him down the stairs and left him there. Although he seemed unwillingly to do it.

"Nice place you got here."

I rolled over to face him. I yawned and sat up my legs dangling off the side of my bed.

"How may I help you?" I asked with a bored tone.

"I need a place to stay."

"Ok you can stay here I don't see why not."

"Great it's good to see that you're on my side."



"Um yeah a few rules though."

He was walking around me room inspecting everything. I was watching him. I laughed when he began to look at the coffin.

"What are you laughing at?"

"You, you really are one funny guy."

"Yeah Yeah. So what are these rules?" He said putting emphasis on rules.

"Number 1 no messing with my Brandon, you are not allowed to touch, harm or even use him. That goes for your other men as well. Number 2 get your own food and do not mess with Brandon's. Number 3 no bringing your work out here, no expectations. If I don't bring my food home you don't bring your work here. Last but not least Number 4 My room is my place. No one is allowed down here, except for Brandon. During day time if you are or any one is caught down here you will be my food. When I am here I expect you to knock before entering."

"You know I don't really like being talked down on."

And with that he jumped on me. Sure I admit I wasn't expecting it but I wasn't scared. He tried to hit me but I caught his fist. I only laughed at him. This seemed to anger him. I quickly flipped the situation and had him pinned under me. I was still laughing and stopped to only look at him. I could see him better than the other night. Ok ok so I said that he wasn't my type but now that I look at him he reminds me of Lulach. I looked into his eyes and just stared at them. They were exactly like his, I gasped and jumped off of him. I backed away and grabbed at my chest. He just looked at me, it took me a couple of seconds before I could regain my composure.

I looked at him again, he was still looking at me weirdly. I sighed and hopped onto my bed. He climbed next to me and was still looking at me.

"So what are your plans for the evening?" I asked him.

"Tonight I am going to a ball to look for the prince."

"Ok so what are you really doing?"

I looked at him he was lying face up with his hands behind his head looking at the ceiling. I laid face up next to him with my hands on my stomach string up to.

"Going to a fundraise event to get a Mr. Harvey Dent."

"Oh sounds fun I wanna go and be the inside man."

He turned his head and looked at me and shrugged. He was pretty calm, oh boy this is weird. He was Mr. Crazy Ass Psycho in the streets but in here he was really calm. Bipolar much.



"So can I go. I can you an earpiece and get you information and shit."

"Ok fine but it's a fancy party, so dress-up time doll!" He yelled then he left the room only to come back and tell me what time it started.

I already knew what dress I was going to wear. He said it started at 6 I would leave here by 5 with a limo, so I don't get any unwanted attention. I looked at my clock It was 4:13. Shit already oh well won't take me that long to get ready.

'Brandon I need a lime here by 5 to take me to the fundraiser for whoever it was ask the joker. Oh and don't worry about him he and his men won't hurt you, I made sure of it'

'Ok but um what did I sat about this telepathic shit?'

'You said that you loved it and it turned you on'

He was silent knowing that wasn't going to win he probably went to his duties. I went and got in the shower and when I came out the clock said 4:30. Ok I can make this .I went into my closet and pulled out my sexy dress. I slipped it on and look at myself in the mirror. The dress showed a lot of skin A/N IF YOU WANT TO KNOW EXACTLY WHAT THE DRESS LOOKS LIKE IT'S THE DRESS IN THE BEGINNING OF BLOODRAYNE 2THE GAME, ITS HARD TO DESCRIBE BUT I WILL TRY!!It had a v neck that went down to about mid-stomach and was connected to my chocked. There was a red ruby in the center of my chocker. The dress did not have a back. There were 2 slits on each side of the dress that went all the way up to, well a few inches higher than mid-thigh. I slipped on the gloves and walked back into the closet and took out my shoes. They were platforms that were black and came all the way to about mid-thigh. I quickly threw my hair up into a sloppy bun and leaving a few strands down. I then walked over to my desk and opened the bottom drawer. There were a pair of earrings that were actually microphones that would allow you to communicate to one another.

"JOKER!"

A few seconds later the door barged open to reveal him looking slightly aggravated. When he came down the stairs he began to look for me once he saw that I was over at my desk he headed towards me. Only when he was a couple of feet away did he stop to look me over. I believe that this is when someone would say his mouth hit the floor. He just stared at me. I walked over to him and moved his hair from his ear. I gently tucked it. I then put the earring in. It was a simple round stud that was black and had a red bat in it.

"This is how we will communicate to each other, when you press on it once we can talk without being noticed."

And with that I pointed to the earring that was in the cartilage of my ear. I was going to walk upstairs seeing the time was 4:56. But he grabbed my hand and turned to face him. He them wrapped his arms around me and kissed me. He crashed his lips onto mine and he shoved his tongue into my mouth. I was shocked at first and then I closed my eyes and put my hands 

around his neck. He pushed me away and grabbed my hand and led me to the hall. When I got there I saw everyone looking at me, well not looking but staring. I just sighed.

"Let's not keep the party awaiting." And with that I left all of the men standing there.
