~ thoughts ~

I can barely believe that I'm here and I won't surrender quietly.

David Vega patiently waited along with his fellow officers in the Initiative facility as their captain was given an important briefing. It had been a couple of weeks since their great ass-whipping by his estranged daughter and they were anticipating some good news on the analyzing of her blood. The past few weeks had been surprisingly quiet which was never good. They all stood to attention as the door was open and their captain stepped out along with what appear to be two female doctors.

"Alright men, I got our new assignment. We are tasked with hunting down and capturing Tori Vega. If you have a problem with that Detective Vega, we will understand." Captain Aceveda stated.

"No captain, she ceased being my daughter months ago. It just took so time to get over it. That thing is just occupying a shell and I'm willing to kill it." Vega voiced firmly.

"I do have a question, why are we just capturing her? Wouldn't it be better to just kill her?" Donnie inquired.

"I will let these lovely ladies answer that." Aceveda responded.

"Hello gentlemen, I am Professor Walsh and my colleague Doctor Sommerfield have reviewed your reports and probed the samples of her blood and have been fascinated by it. Her blood seems to how should I say this, supercharged." Walsh explained.

"I don't get what you mean." Eddie stated confused.

"Well, whenever we have collected other vampiric blood, it has been dull, ghastly. Not hers, it's like a healthy someone just donated blood. And her blood cells, God her blood cells are magnificent. She could probably go months without feeding and still have the strength as if she just fed." Sommerfield continued animatedly.

"So what are you saying, that she is still alive?" Lennex questioned as he glanced at Vega.

"No, more like she is a super vampire. There is no way to come back from that I'm afraid. Her DNA on a microscopic level as been completely rewritten. I don't know how she was created but I don't think and I'm glad that there aren't too many of them running around. She has monstrous strength and I believe that sunlight doesn't affect her. We tested all the known weaknesses of vampires and only a bless object completely destroyed the sample." Walsh concluded.

"If we get our hands on a magnitude her white-blood cells, we might be able to cure almost every disease known to man. As well as wiped out the existence of every vampire on this planet. With her blood we could elevate human beings to the next level of evolution. We have been handed a gold mine here gentlemen and all we need is your help."Sommerfield finished as the officers considered the revelation described to them.

"Alright fellers, you heard the ladies let's go save the world." Aceveda announced as his officers left the hall.

When we move...we live for this and nothing more.

When we move...

The silence of a tranquil London night was broken by the bang of a knocked over garbage can. Two shadowy figures were seen running staggeringly across the backdrop of the British alleyways.

"What in the bloody hell was that?" One of the men spoke as they felt safe enough to stop.

"Did you see what that arsehole did to Denny mate? He is not..." The other man delivered before his head was separated from his shoulders and he was ash soiling the street. As his associate moved to flee, a knife-shaped bayonet was embedded in his right shoulder pinning him to the side of the building.

"Bollocks...bloody fucking hell..." The man whined as his hands were scorched trying to pull out the holy blade.

We camouflage ourselves, we stand in the shadows waiting.

"Does that hurt cretin? You and your kind has darken this righteous Earth for far too long. The face of the LORD is against them that do evil, to cut off the remembrance of them from the earth." A figure spoke as he calmly stepped from the shadows stopping so that his face was concealed in darkness. His pearly whites gleamed in the shade as he grinned down at his prey, his opened cassock blowing softly in the night air.

"Tell your makers that I am coming for them."

"Bugger off, you muppet!" The man spat as he vamped out.

"You know what I will tell them myself as I sent them to eternal damnation." The imposing figure stated as he easily ripped the bayonet from the wall and quickly staked the undead filth.

"And lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil. For thine is the kingdom, and the power, and the glory, forever. Amen."The figure recited as he vanished to hunt the other trash polluting this planet.

We live for this and nothing more, we are what You created.

We camouflage ourselves, we stand in the shadows waiting.

"Humans as a whole are gullible. Make them believe that they are safe and secure and you could do no wrong. Sure there are those that are overly paranoid but they make the game the hunt so much fun. That was why we disappeared from the limelight for the past few weeks. To live as long as we have you have to play it smart." Eliza lectured to Tori as Sarah cuddle against the recently returned Dawn. Hearing this lecture before Dawn, reflected on the confrontation she had with Leo earlier.

Hours ago...

Dawn had been right, her sires were more than thrilled to have their prodigal daughter return. A smile graced her face as she envisioned the look on their faces when the truth finally nailed them in the heart. Walking down the hall to pester her new baby sister, she stopped before colliding into Leo as he stepped in front of her.

We camouflage ourselves, we stand in the shadows waiting.

"Hey little doggy, want a treat." Dawn insulted as she never got along with her sires' pet.

"If it isn't the little whore that could. I smelt Deacon all over you when you first showed up. So whatever little scheme you got going on, don't plan on it working." Leo barked as he invaded her personal space.

"I would like for you to step away so that I don't catch any of your fleas, mutt." Dawn spat.

"They made a mistake in turning you and I will gladly rectify it if you give me a reason." Leo scorned.

"Now now children, break it up. Sarah wants to see you Dawn." Eliza stated as she interrupted their little bickering.

"...hell girl you haven't even turned anyone yet. Sure you killed but every now and then. I know we told you to take it easy but this time go out there and Fuck shit up!" Eliza consummated.

Get, off, stop talkin' about it, gotta make this count, let's go!

"Okey dokey" Tori replied as she visualized all the things she wanted to do now that the kid gloves were off.

"Lovely speech luv, you always have a way with words." Sarah voiced as she sat up.

"I could launch a thousand ships with my voice." Eliza joked as she approach her mate.

"And million with your tits." Leo teased as he entered the room. Seeing Dawn hanging off of Sarah, he sneered at her but didn't say anything.

"Now that Tori going off to rape and pillage, we want you to get the fuck out as well. Got plans for your mommy here and don't want you kiddies fucking it up." Eliza declared kicking Dawn and Leo out of the room and climbing onto the bed.

"You know he might kill her someday. Oh where did we go wrong?" Sarah questioned.

"You show them the world, make them eternally beautiful and sometime they become such a disappointment. This is what you get for letting her breastfeed for so long." Eliza mocked.

"She got that from you, you slut." Sarah screech in outrage.

"I know, she was taking up all my time. She really thinks we don't know about her alliance with the council, so sad." Eliza stated as she climbed on top of her lover.

"Well you can give her a spanking later." Sarah said before moans filled the air as Eliza showed why she was the best at what she does and what she doing right now was very nice.

We won't surrender quietly, step up and watch it go.

Are you ready? Are ya ready? Are ya ready for me?

Sikowitz was rushing to get all his things together so that he could be home before the sun went down. He was a familiar of Eric's and knew it was only a matter of time before Tori came to claim her revenge. So he nearly shit a brick when the door to the classroom slammed closed and Tori Vega walked forward.

"Great Gandhi!" Flew from his lip as he backed away from the demon advancing onward.

"Well if it isn't my favorite teacher. You know the one to introduce me to that Vampiric fuck." Tori declared as she stopped in front of the hippie-like teacher.

"I should thank you, I've never been better. Sure I was raped and starved for a whole week, you know what why don't I just show you." Tori expressed as she placed her hands on the side of Sikowitz's face and slowly and excruciatingly dug her nails in. Sikowitz cried out at the torture and the visions that assaulted his brain.

Months ago...

Tori had just finished throwing out the last garbage bag. ~ Next time take Andre up on his offer to stay and help. ~ She thought jokingly. Walking back into Hollywood Arts to get her bag from her locker, she saw Sikowitz chatting with what she could only described as a Greek God.

"Ah, Tori just the girl we were looking for. This is my good friend Eric and he owns a record company and a club called Vice downtown. He saw you guys perform and wanted to talk to you." She was so exciting that she missing the warning signs like that Sikowitz's smile didn't reach his eyes and there was something unnaturally cold about the handsome devil.

"Yes, you have a wonderful gift even dressed up as an ice cream cone." Eric teased.

"Oh god, you saw that I am so embarrassed." Tori spoke as a cheeks dyed red.

"Don't be my child, there are great things ahead for you and I will by your side through it all."

"What?...I'm not feeling to comfortable with this, I think I should talk to you later." Tori voiced worriedly as she stepped over to Sikowitz and then the lights went out.

Tori awoken with a splitting headache. As she moved her hand to her head, she discovered a chain circling her wrist.

"What the hell is this?" Tori yelled as fear gripped her heart. Looking around, she noticed that she was in a cellar with no windows. ~ My dad will save me. ~ Tori chanted as she realized the desperate situation she now found herself in. ~ Oh God, Sikowitz set me up. ~ Tori recollected as she remembered stepping away from Eric. Despair engulfed her as the door opened and her abductor walked in.

"There is nothing to fear. I'm going to make you into something incredible." Eric exclaimed as his shadow swallowed up any hope of escape. For a week she remained strong, for a week she endured agony. The feasting of her blood, the depredation of her body, and the starvation clawing at her broke her so when he asked to end it all, she willingly accepted. All she ready recall was a sharp pain in the neck and sweet nectar pouring over her lips.

Ooh...It's hard to explain, how things have changed,

But I'm not the same as before and I know there's so much more ahead.

"And here we are. Me a beautiful monster, your master dead, and you. At first I was going to kill you in the most horrible way possible but I decided something better." Tori stated she removed he hands from his head, shattering his mind in the process. A glossy look covered his eyes and he repeatedly softly "I'm sorry" over and over again.

"Now you will truly be as crazy as everyone thinks you are." Tori voiced maliciously as she left the classroom.

But I'm not the same as before and I know there's so much more ahead.

Andre sat down heavily on his grandmother's sofa and sighed. He had been exercising extremely to prepare to kill the thing wearing Tori's face. Andre never told anyone why is grandmother went crazy and what had happen a little over six years ago. His grandma had come home covered in blood from Bible Study. When questioned, she claimed that a gang of men attacked her and her best friend Mary-Ann on the way home. It was dark but she heard the growls, the laughter as what sounded like a pack of animals feasting. Just has it was able to be her turn, they were scared away. Grandma Harris tried to help Mary-Ann but she had been tore to shreds. She was firm when she spoke to the cops that the miscreants were unholy, unnatural demons that assaulted the two of them. With no hard evidence and people not believing in real-life evil, the case wasn't solved and his grandmother suffered a psychotic break and was never the fun-loving, joyous nana again. Now with the girl he had a crush on was a vampire, he made it his duty to end her undead existence. He no longer had time for jokes to be the guy to bring out the song to make everything OK. He stood up to be ready for a meeting with a bunch of vampire-hunters he found online. Hopefully, they were legit because from what he researched and heard, those blood-leeches were pretty fucking hard to kill. ~ Why the hell did they name themselves the Nightstalkers anyway? ~ Andre thought as he forced himself upstairs.

And I won't surrender quietly...

Making sure that he was absolutely alone, Vic Mackey pulled out his cellphone. He took a deep breath before hitting his speed-dial #4. Two short rings and the call was answered.

"So what can you tell me Vic?" Deacon Frost inquired.

"Well, the geeks here are have a real hard-on for the girl's blood. Said that it is like the blood is still alive as if the she was overflowing with power." Mackey replied.

"Ooh so exciting, tell me more." Frost commented.

"Hell they believe with enough blood, their could jump start the next stage of human evolution or some stupid shit like that. My team has been tasked with capturing her or at the very least getting more of her blood. How I don't fucking know? She's been missing for a few weeks." Mackey stated.

"I have really good Intel that she will be making a reappearance soon. Keep up the good work." Frost declared before hanging out. Ending the call, Vic turned to leave and was stopped short by the barrel of a gun. Captain Aceveda's face was covered in abhorrence as David Vega sidearm was fasten upon his temple.

"You saw what they did to my baby, you asshole." Vega roared with a look of disgust.

"How could you Vic cross us like that? Betray your own fucking race. You were one of the best of us you stupid piece of shit." Aceveda hissed furiously.

Ooh...It's hard to explain, how things have changed...

Don't think you got it, can't handle the pressure?

"Look guys, I'm sorry but there is a wa..." Mackey trailed off at the account of a bullet forcing his brain matter all over the wall and his carcass collapsing to the floor. The loud bang caused several occupants to investigate.

"What the hell happen?" Lennex questioned as he and the other arrival at the scene. Everyone waited in doubt wondering whether they should go for their guns.

"This traitorous piece of shit was corresponding with vampires." Captain Aceveda defended as he picked up Mackey's phone with cries of disbelief ringing in his ears.

"Here, take this and see if we can trace his last call. Don't worry, I will get this cleaned up." Aceveda voiced as he handed the phone to Epps. The others slowly started to clear out as Aceveda pulled out his own cellphone.

"Hello, this is Captain Aceveda and you can tell Professor Walsh I have a candidate for Project 314."

A loud boom vibrated the corridor just as soon as Deacon hung up from his conversation with Mackey.

"What the hell you fucks? Do you know what subtly is?" Frost shouted as he shook dust out of his hair.

"Sorry boss but I think we found something." One of his lackeys expressed. Walking over to the massive hole in the wall, Deacon whistled when he noticed the weathered steps led down to a darken mausoleum. Deacon and his underlings carefully journeyed into the burial chamber shining their flashlights around revealing an elegant sarcophagus wrapped in chains. Taking a closer look, Deacon read aloud the inscription carved in to the lip.

"There is an evil which I have seen under the sun, and it is common among men. A man to whom God hath given riches, wealth, and honour, so that he wanteth nothing for his soul of all that he desireth, yet God giveth him not power to eat thereof, but a stranger eateth it: this is vanity, and it is an evil disease. Wow, classy. Hear that guys, we are an evil disease. Got to love those Catholics, they got a way with words. Now get this out of here." Deacon proclaimed. Several men run over to try and lift the coffin but dropped the chains after they burned their hands.

"OK, that sucks. Holy chains, who thinks of that shit? Well what are you waiting for? Go get some help." Deacon demanded as his workers were standing around, staring bewilderingly at each other.

"Idiots, the whole lot of them. Welcome back, No Life King." Deacon voiced. ~ With his blood, the elders, and Tori's, I'll become the new Blood God. ~ Deacon thought excitingly as he left the chambers.

Let's get it started, let me see whatcha got, can ya take it up a knotch?

Cat had been in a awful mood for the past few weeks. No Tori to relax with and the constant prying eyes of the damn gang was making kitty very annoyed. Since Tori had left them alone for awhile, she was able to get the gang to back off and allow her to stay at home. But on the weekends, Trina wanted her to sleepover because Trina was lonely so that was why she was up drinking a cup of hot cocoa at three in the morning in the Vega's kitchen.

When we move, we camouflage ourselves.

We stand in the shadows waiting, we live for this and nothing more...

"Hey Cat" purred from behind her causing Cat to whip around in fright and splitting hot chocolate on the floor. Spying that it was Tori sitting on the island swinging her legs back and forth, Cat ran over to hug her alienate friend.

"Where have you been Tori and how did you get in?" Cat asked as cold, slender arms held her close.

"I've been a little down that my dad came to kill me but I am over it. Besides this is my house of course I can come and go as I please." Tori replied.

"I need a favor from you Cat." Tori expressed.

"Anything for you Tori, no matter what you are my true friend." Cat announced happily.

"I knew you would say something like that." Tori responded before slamming Cat against the counter and covering her mouth as she vamped out. Eyes wiped open in terror, Cat focused on Tori's fangs as they descended to her chest. The pain was unbearable as Tori chewed through her chest cavity causing Cat to bite down on one of the fingers covering her mouth. Tori paused to watch the the light fade from Cat's eyes.

"That is a believe sight." Tori whispered as Cat's heart leisurely came to a halt. She bend down to kiss Cat's heart then bit down taking a big chunk out of it. Picking up Cat's corpse, she positioned the body on the counter-top and strolled upstairs to have a little more fun since the night was still young.

Are you ready? Are ya ready? Are ya ready for me?

The lifeblood crawled along the drain to pool in the metal canister housing the hibernating body of the first vampire to be turned by Queen Akasha. Selene smiled as she felt her maker aroused from his centuries-long sleep. The metal catafalque opened and out stepped the oldest of the old, the great Markus.

"Tell me my dear, why was I awaken early." Markus uttered softly as his azure orbs observed his favorite childe.

"All in due time, milord." Selene replied as she steered her master away. ~ The time will soon be ending for that little slip of a girl and her consorts. A great change is coming for the vampire nation and all opposers better get out of the way. ~

I can feel the storm, the winds have changed.

Ooh...'Cause we're worlds a part but just the same.

But we won't leave the way that we came.

And I know there's so much more ahead.

I can barely believe that we're here.

We won't surrender quietly, step up and watch it go.

And with that comes the end of Volume One: Gathering Darkness. In Volume Two: Call to Arms; Tori deals with a seemingly immortal vampire-hunter, determined government agents, the might of Markus and the vampire council along with her vengeful father out for her head. What is left of the Victorious gang tries to find ways to deal with this new and terrifying world crushing down on them leading to disastrous consequences.
