Chapter 7 Embrace of the Vampire

1999 Santa Cruz

"You outta stop changing that surname of yours, hard to find you" the shadows said to a young girl walking past them.

"Niko?" The girl looked at the sun then around to make sure no one was there.

"Eve, school's in my day weren't so colourful." Niko stepped into a lighter shadow showing him partially.

"Well in your day woman couldn't vote" Eve ran and jumped on him. "So how ya been." She giggled after a brief kiss.

"Well Angelus is now Angel and Spike is walking and oh yeah I met the most annoying vampire in existence." Niko chuckled as they started to walk through the shaded halls.

1999 Santa Barbara

"So why are vampires, vampires?" Harmony said getting out of the shower leaving Niko alone in there.

"Dunno" Niko said getting out himself. "You know the Slayer, her watcher has answers for that"

"Don't be silly I'm going to be her arch nemesis so I can't go up and ask, Besides it'll make me look stupid. Well come on you must know something about how we became vampires I mean why can't we have a tan." Harmony said as she got her bra and panties on while Niko walked straight out of the bathroom. "Hey where you going?"

"Harmony, I have done some research on the subject because I was told of something grander to our coming and our being. I put together legends as such plus other theories. And have concluded with this." Niko opened the wooden doors to a large library with papers on the desk.

" As you know Christianity was started when the supposed son of God gave his life to save the sins of the world, but in order to do that he was crucified by the fearful Romans and was given up by Judas Iscariot. In the end though after the crucifixion he was consumed with grief and took a big splinter of the cross which hung Jesus and drove it deep into his heart, But in the split second where he was not quite dead yet not quite alive the embodiment of evil appeared calling itself 'The First' it was with an agent of evil, an ancient demon called a Tulle-Kisen, When The First sensed that the soul had left Judas' body the Tulle-Kisen drank deep from Judas then left him with hardly any blood left, when night came he rose up hungry for blood figuratively and literately, he reeked havoc upon the lands of Jerusalem, many believed Jesus to resurrect to the gospels first, that he did but my research indicates that Judas was first and Jesus came down to save him. For his betrayal was apparently arranged by Judas and Jesus as a publicity stunt of such. So actually Jesus betrayed Judas and as he tried to redeem his self he gave the beast called Judas a weakness, Sunlight. At dawn the monsters powers drained during light meaning good, of course The First didn't want this monster contained so it made Judas' Victims to rise like him and become beasts they were named Turok-Han and the leader of the army was the Tulle-Kisen but many guardians of good stood in the way then ultimately died to this army: Slayers, Mordecai's and Angels. Finally 40 days after the army was created Jesus had enough he ascended to heaven giving Mary Magdalene a gift that gift was a son who years later grew up and slayed the Tulle-Kisen and sealed it's armies into hell in the undiscovered lands using the queen of the old ones kingdom, California, the name of the son of Jesus and Mary was Danzalthar, which The First later besmirched . Anyway when Judas lost his power, more humanity was restored to him but he didn't act like it as he tried to kill himself by hanging himself and invoking spells to explode his insides but none of it worked so he started getting on with his un-life but as Christianity grew so did his weaknesses: Crosses, Holy water, Sunlight, They undergo photolysis: chemical decomposition, through combustion, by exposure to ultra violet waves, and the wooden stake which initially killed him. Many demons put down his race as it resembles humanity to much even so he enlisted help of an apothecary called Amara to make him invincible and sired an evil human called Lothos as an investor who has money but Lothos had to much greed and started his own empire sending Amara and Judas into slumber.

Well that's my theory from my research anyway I don't know if it right" Niko concluded turning to see a board Harmony.

"So why do we turn to ash and why if our heads are cut off?"
