Chapter 3
(I do not own anything only wish)
"How's your gal?" Jimmy asks as I grab me a soda.
"She's great."
"Didn't bring her today?"
"Nah, she wanted a girl's night out with Angela. So I thought I'd shoot me some pool."
"Have at it. It's a slow night so no charge."
"Thanks!"
Riley walks over to the jukebox and slides a dollar in and plays a Nirvana's "About A Girl." Normally he would have invited Mike or Eric along but lately Mike was getting on his nerves. It seemed Mike was changing more and more over the years and he was becoming someone Riley didn't really care for. Eric was still cool though but Riley wanted to be alone tonight. He was looking forward to seeing Bella tomorrow night and taking her out. In fact that's what he thought about as he set up the balls and chalked his cue stick. He'd been saving money to take her out somewhere a bit nicer and maybe they'd walk along the shore. Riley slams the three and five in. Maybe find a place to make out even he smiles on this getting a little excited at the thought.
Riley's cell vibrates and he takes it from his pocket.
"Love you."
He smiles at the text from Bella.
"Love you too baby have a good time with Angie."
"OK . You have fun too!"
He places the phone back in his pocket and spends another hour playing. Then decides to head on home feeling a bit tired. "Thanks Jimmy I'm going on."
"Alright Riley see you later next time bring that sexy gal of yours."
Riley laughs.
"Will do."
He slips his jacket back on and backpack and heads out the door. He sees that it's pouring rain and hope that Bella and Angela are driving safely tonight.
This was where Riley's live changed and in a way he'd never expected…
Something seems to fly out at him as he comes out of the bar literally knocking him down. Riley's heart races and he rushes up looking around. Decidedly he starts walking only faster hoping to get away from whatever it is. The boy's body flings against a barred window and falls back into the alley. Groaning out in pain he rolls around. His back arches as he feels his spine being lit ablaze. He gasp for air and gets up once again running as fast as he can towards the docks. Stopping, just before nearly landing in the ocean itself, with nowhere else to go he begins to panic.
"WHAT DO YOU WANT!" Riley steps out a few feet and looks around.
He feels something sharp quickly pierce through his hand. Then falls to the ground never feeling something in his life, it felt as though he as being burned alive. Tossing and turning trying to make the pain go away, before long he can't even move just lays there still feeling as though he's dying and being burnt alive from the inside out.
Rileypov
"You've finally awaken?!"
I see a pretty red haired woman looking down upon me. I blink my eyes a few times feeling as though my eyesight is somehow sharper. We're in some sort of abandoned cabin it looks like. I start ask her something and my throat starts to ache and burn. I reach out for it.
"We can fix that." She smiles.
I keep having the feeling I'm forgetting something. I rise up and see a man off in a corner staring upon us both in fear.
"Go ahead darling it's ok." She winks.
I breathe the man in and my throat aches even more. My eyes fixate on the veins in his neck and seeing the blood pulsating through them. The red haired woman runs her hands along my arms and chest. "Go on you know what you want don't you?"
Without another word I leap out and bite down upon his neck. I began to suckle like a newborn baby. It tastes and feels so good I can't stop and don't want to. My throat begins to feel wonderful. I drink until there's nothing left. I turn towards the red haired beauty.
"I'm Victoria."
I narrow my eyes trying to remember who I am.
"You must be Riley." She says.
I nod remembering that is my name.
"Saw it on your bag." She admits motioning towards it.
I feel so odd as she looks into my eyes. I can't quite pinpoint what it is. Victoria takes her fingers and cleanses the blood from my lips.
"You're very handsome." She says leaning in closer to me.
Something missing, what's missing? I shake my head rising in confusion. Victoria stands up and backs me into a corner. "You and I have a great adventure ahead of us Mr. Bier." She seductively runs her hand along my chest. Her lips touch my own and I close my eyes. I don't even know her but I want her, I need her. I reverse her into the corner pinning her against it.
"Riley my love we must wait. We've other manners to attend first. In order for us to be together..."
I squint my eyes in confusion as the vision of a beautiful brunette haired girl enters my mind but one who's name I can't remember and not even sure if I really know her. I run my hands through my hair so confused.
"Easy now." She kisses upon my lips once more.
"You've so much to learn. So little time. follow me my lover."
She takes my hand and leads me out of the cabin.
"We will need an army." She says as I follow her through the woods admiring the way the sun glistens against her body.
"You're beautiful!" I say staring upon her.
"So are you my dear darling. So are you." She smiles upon me.
"I will make us an army. We will need many."
"I'm afraid I'm confused."
"All within time my dear you shall see."
The woman teaches me the ways of being a vampire what it means to survive, fight and feed. She takes care of me and we're in love. There's still that odd feeling like there is something else but I don't care as long as I'm with her and fulfilling her wants and desires. She says it's coming closer and that soon she and I will be free to be together forever. I can't wait. In the meantime I'll be whatever she needs.
"Your powers are extraordinary!" She says standing before me.
"I've not known anyone that's had that ability since Vlad." She tilts her head.
"Do that fog one again."
I focus and pass right through her and reappear behind her.
"That's so cool." She smiles.
"So I've got me a shifting vampire. I couldn't be prouder Riley my dear."
I smile in pride.
"What do you mean you have to go?"
"I will return shorty with more."
"More?"
"Newborns our army remember?"
A jealously comes over me.
"You mean you will turn others?"
"Of course we need what we can get."
I climb up a tree and await her return. Folding my arms at the jealousy that consumes me, why does she need others? Am I not powerful enough? Does she not love me enough? I wait however as she says. Eventually she returns with two newborns. We train them their names by Diego and Anthony. Even more jealousy persists as I watch her praise the two on their abilities and how strong they are. Espeically with the one named Diego. He'd great self-control, was strong and brave even through my jealousy I found myself taking a liking to him the more we trained him. Anthony however was wreckless, moody and too blood thirsty.
After a few more days she tells me she's going to bring back a few more.
"What?"
"I will bring them my dear Riley and you will decide who is worthy enough to fight alongside of us. Anyone you deem not agile enough kill. I trust you Riley and I love only you. We've come so far."
This makes me feel somewhat better knowing we are both in charge and she considers me a partner an equal and trust and loves me enough to decide who stays and goes.
As time goes by we've an army of about 20 newborns. I notice Victoria however seems to be distracted and more and more antsy. The newborns have become more my responsibility and on certain days it can feel out of control. But I've convinced them that we live under the myth laws of a vampire. That the sun will scorch us if we go out in it, that we can be staked anything to cause fear enough to keep them in control.
I don't say anything knowing we've come so close and her mind is probably on making plans for us to be together and finishing whatever war it is we're having to keep her protected.
10 months later…
"I must go Riley I'm sorry but it's become too dangerous."
"What has?"
"Just need you to trust me. I need you to continue to train and turn more newborns, as well as keep the ones we currently have under control. You know how to handle the situation if you must."
I nod.
"When I see you again Riley we can finally be together. It feels like we've been waiting so long."
She caresses my face.
"I love you Victoria."
"I love you too. When I return I will give you word we shall move our newborns into battle and end this thing. Thus, meaning you and I have all the time in the world."
I run my hands along her waist and hers along my chest.
"Be safe Riley."
"You too Victoria."
