Keep my Heart: Chapter 12

Mile's P.O.V

Nothing was working. My master plan of separating Blaine and Kurt had turned into a fail of epic proportions. Instead getting Kurt to break up with Blaine they were now living together. It was so painfully obvious to me now that there was no way Kurt would ever leave Blaine for some other guy.

Kurt's behaviour was actually very much like Blaine's. The only reason he would go would be if Blaine himself suggested it. Or...just maybe...it might be a long shot but it could definitely work.

If I were to somehow make it look like Blaine was cheating on Kurt it was play up Kurt's already present insecurities. As much as I hated humans I couldn't blame him. If I were a disgusting human how could I ever wish to compare to an immortal?

But how, how was I going to make this happen?

I walked down the dark streets into a deserted town. The place I met with my "master". There was nothing really master-like about him. He was just an extremely old vampire who had vowed to kill off the human race and get back at the council.

The council were a group of elite vampires, some of the oldest in the world. They controlled the decisions of our entire population. Blaine's family had a big influence in the council his grandfather was not only the head of the council at the moment but for as long as there had ever been an Anderson there had been one in that council.

Really, I thought my "master's" or Alonzo's, idea was pretty stupid. Yes I hated humans and wanted them gone I also wanted the council gone but not because of something as petty as a family quarrel.

I rounded the corner into the abandoned excuse for a house. The floor boards creaked as I walked through the halls at a fast pace. Alonzo was not going to be pleased with my recent "progress".

My anger at the council was personal between me and the Anderson's. I'd been brought into this world by vampires, I'd never had parents. I was an experiment made by the council. They had created me in sheer panic when the human race had discovered new nuclear technologies.

Only five days after they'd "given birth" to me they realized that secrecy was the best option. So not only was I an experiment, I was a labelled as a failure when I was five days old.

They held me in that cursed building for the first thirty years of my life. I was strictly a private experiment which head council member Anderson worked on. The only way I was able to break free would be if I solemnly swore never to tell another person, vampire or human, what I was.

But I had quirks, I quickly found when I was set free and exposed to the real world. I wasn't like other vampires, my blood lust was stronger and I was able to tap into my darker side much more easily. I was more animal than man and in time I'd learned to accept that.

Sometimes being more animalistic was a gift. I could sense people's emotions much better than anyone else. I had better eye sight, better hearing and I was faster too, much, much faster.

I reached into my pocket to grab out a small Swiss army knife. I stopped by the open door of the room I knew Alonzo was in and started running the knife along my long nails. I could hear his breathing stop for a minute in the other room and then pick up as I ran the knife across my nails, sharpening them.

Alonzo's plan may have been stupid but he was no fool. He knew what was going to happen, he knew what I was and he also could tell he didn't stand a chance.

I turned into the room and saw him sitting in an old chair. He looked at me calmly.

"So Miles it's finally happened, you've gone insane."

"Look who's talking Alonzo," I laughed, knife still held in my hand. I twirled it in my hand for effect. I played up the atmosphere in the room like we were old friends.

"You'll never bring down the council without my help," he said with much conviction. I walked towards him and leaned down to whisper in his ear.

"Oh, but I will. You've underestimated be my friend. Everybody has underestimated me," I snarled.

"You have darkness within you," Alonzo stated, "I saw that from the first time we met. But you need to know that there is a time, place and a situation for it to be of useful to you. You are weak Miles it is the darkness that is strong not you. You are letting it take over."

Rage boiled throughout my body. Like this old man had any idea what I'd gone through! As if he had any idea what the constant swirls of black in my mind whispered to me day and night. At times I'd have to scream for it to stop but it never did. In a movement so fast vampire eyes would miss it I slashed the unscarred side of his face with my nails.

He brought up a hand to the cut realizing the blood and he knew that my decision was clear.

"The darkness will be your downfall. Learn to control it or let it control you." I kicked his chair out from underneath him and stepped on his leg with all my force causing him to hiss in pain.

"You don't know me," I stated. I looked around at my setting licking the blood off my nails, it tasted good. I needed more. "Well, well Alonzo," I said staring at him on the floor, "it looks like apprentice has become master...and sadly, you have no more to teach me."

He gave me one last look of pity then his eyes widened in horror as he saw what the council had truly created; a monster. I lurched forwards destroying him in the only way I knew, keeping him alive for as long as possibly while feeding on him.

His screams of agony meant nothing. After I'd had my fill and was down playing with him I made quick work of tearing his limbs.

I started ripping up floor boards and dismantling chairs for their wood to start a fire. Reaching into my pant pocket I grabbed a lighter. I lit the boards that were already rotting so they set flame fast. Then I expertly threw Alonzo's body into the fire.

Inside me I heard the beast growl in appreciation. It was high time that I had control over something and this was just the beginning.

I walked out of the building setting flame to every panel of wood. Once I got out of the burning house I stood in and starred with appreciation at my work. Laughing psychotically I ran through the town lighting fire to all the abandoned houses.

Once I was done my chest was heaving and I knew that I must have had a mad glint in my eye. This is what I lived on destruction. I wasn't normal like Wes or Blaine, who enjoyed sitting down and watching a show. No, I needed something much bigger.

I felt my fullest when I'd drank the blood of the innocent, I felt the happiest when I saw a town on fire and the only thing I could ever love would be myself.

Striding out of the town I felt much more confident than ever. Things were finally going my way and it was for the better really. When I took over the council I would start up the experiments again and with basically an army of those the human race would diminish quickly.

They'd answer to me because they would understand what I went through. I was a person too...just a different kind. Human's always hated what they couldn't explain and believe me they'd have a lot of hating to do in the next few months.

I kicked some dirt off the road and looked up at the blackened sky.

"It's to start now," I said to no one.

At my words I felt that almost tangible thing inside me squirm with dark pleasure. 'Yes this is why you were created, Miles. Follow your path. The time is now."

I smiled in recognition of the voice. This world would be better because of what was about to take place. I broke off into a full sprint passing cities in mere minutes. I looked without sadness at all the humans. Woman, Men or children they'd all be gone, every last filthy one of them.
