Day 8
When I woke up it was late afternoon, I felt my body rise and begin to move towards the window again. When I got over to it I jumped, and landed on the ground luckily it was dark enough so no one would really see me, I ran through the streets un-aware of where I was going or what I was doing but I knew one thing was for sure I was at Thomas's house in the end flying up to his window and breaking through it. He snapped his eyes open but I was under the bed.
"No, no not again." He almost shouted, I rose through the bed from under it and let my upper half show while the rest was still down there. "Tum?" He said. I started pulling the sheets towards me, like some hungry hungry hippo game ripping them in the process, he was sliding down the bed with them and freaking out. When he was close enough I jumped through the bed onto him and bit down into his neck. His scream was silenced when I leaped out of the window dragging him with me through the streets. I had decided either kill him or keep him quiet by making him one of us.
I huddled over Thomas like a dark figure as he began to regain consciousness. "How you doin' Thom'? Hm? You comfortable, need anything.........like maybe a drink?" I had to give him time to know what happened telling him wouldn't be nearly as fun, and feeling the fear come to him when he realizes will be heaven to my taste buds.
"Wh- what happened to me? Where am I?" He asked holding his head in pain.
"I brought you here because I want you to keep your mouth shut about us." I paused for effect, than went on.
"If you were to tell someone, do you know what would happen to you?" I could feel his fear rising even with me in the room alone, even with the safety of my room he was afraid of me. "Be- behind you..." He shuddered out.
"What?" I asked bewildered by what in the world he could be talking about.
I turned just slightly and was flown into the wall with a hand around my neck squeezing, a strong hot wind began to pick up again like in my bed room at home, and sitting on me while we were vertical on the wall was Polix!
His eyes burned in red and he was using every ounce of strength he possibly had to try to cave my throat in! Sweat was pouring down his face from the poison and his fangs came down from their sheath, they were big- bigger than mine and Leo's to the point where I began to shudder. He wasn't saying a word just squeezing my neck.
I grunted for words, but could only manage. "Why?!"
I opened my eyes and I was lying in my room- alone. What happened? Was I dreaming again? Thomas, was Thomas really here, or had I dreamt that too? All of this wasn't even gonna come close to being answered when I saw who was sitting in my room lighting a cigarette.
"Good morning." Polix said, he looked angry but tired and hot, his hair was dampened from sweat and his eyes were red. He waved his hands in the air still looking at me than he stopped. "I'm all over the place now, I'm......sick........"
He said to me and blew out some smoke than offered me one and I took it with a tight smile. He gave me his lighter and I lit it up and relaxed in the smell. than looked at him as he sat there blank for a moment like he was a robot that had just been turned off.
"And I've been thinking," He was quiet for so long that when he said this I jumped; "maybe I don't have very long to live, even though I never really was alive," he laughed at the old vampire joke and ran a hand through his hair. "I want you to take care of my coliseum for me, okay?" I nodded, thinking that I would have taken it anyway. "Good, that's very good.......I uh, put your little friend in the infirmary for treatment to your bite mark......you did it wrong Chaos your friend is dying." He tapped the ashes to the floor and than took another puff.
"Did I dream all that stuff when I talked to him?" I didn't mean to say that out loud but I did and he looked at me like I was crazy. "I heard conversation than he came running out of your room, I knocked him out and asked Diablo to carry him down there- he dragged him." He began laughing again. I wanted to further his pain along to a nice slow death because no one asked him to handle my friend, only I can do that- I hated him and Caster for dragging him here in the first place thinking it was a joke, and if I had the power I would kill them both.
"You should have killed him when I told you too. Why didn't you?" He asked me very calmly and nonchalant like he didn't really care if I did or didn't. I decided I didn't like this topic so I would change the subject. "Did you come into my room, just a while ago, how come I don't remember falling asleep?" I asked with an edge in my voice telling him I expected this question to be answered.
He looked at me dully and than smiled, "You've been asleep for a while ya know, not just one moment in time I'm talking days Chaos.........what's happening to you brother? You're losing yourself, are you lost Chaos, does baby need a hand coming back to the world?" He said in a mocking tone.
"What the fuck are you saying to me, exactly." I asked him shifting my weight on the bed incase I had to get up to do some fighting- if that's what it came to I was prepared.
At least until Caster came into the room and I had a brief flash of them both turning on me, but instead he walked over to Polix and took his hand. "Lets go, you're supposed to be resting why aren't you in bed brother?" He asked him as though he were concern, "you know you won't have any energy if you don't sleep. Go to bed."
Polix gave him a bitter smile and than stood up bowing to me then saying, "you see what happens when you're sick? Your position in life bumps you down to a simple baby waiting to be nursed back to health- anyone can say anything to you." He shrugged than and walked out. Caster came over to me and sat on the couch across the room.
"What were you two talking about?" He asked me fanning the cigarette smoke with his hand.
"Nothing that would interest you." I said coolly and blew smoke in his face. He raised an eye brow at my nerve to speak to him that way, but didn't say anything to stop it from ever happening again. "Has it really been days?" I asked him putting the cigarette out. "I don't know what you mean." He said fiddling with something beside my bed and than looked me in the eyes. "We're killing him tonight you know?"
I nodded standing up and walking to the window and staring out of it, it was dark. "What time is it?" I asked than bringing up another question, "What day is it?"
"Dinner time, you slept through the morning like the rest of us, and it's the ninth where have you been?" He said bored with my questions. "Than why did Polix say I've been asleep for days?"
"He's been fucking with you ass hole, you really are young, you're friend is in the arena fighting Ray; he's losing, his strength hasn't come in yet. Why did you bite him?" He asked me standing and going to the door acting as though he didn't want an answer.
"I didn't want him telling our secret."
"You should have killed him then, not that it matters after very long." He left the room, without any air of what that could have meant lingering.
I don't know what's real anymore, I need to get Thomas and get the fuck out of here so that we can plan our revenge. If those clowns wanna make fun of us like we're- like I'm some common human- they have another think coming, they'll soon know why my name is Chaos.
* * *
Dinner was quiet, except for the fact that everyone was talking politely to Polix it was like everyone was trying to be friendly because they knew what was gonna happen to him. "Do you want my bread sticks?" Death offered Polix but he shook his head and stared down into his soup. Killing him will be a walk in the park, Caster might be strong but he may need to be combined with Polix, for superior power over me.
"I know, I told him I like my hair better short but he never listens." Ray was saying to someone and I looked at her with her looking back at me, then she smiled, but I was hardly in the mood to do the same.
"Where's Thomas?" I asked her, I didn't get a chance to see the fight, because it was over when I got there.
"I'm right here Chaos......" Thomas said strolling into the dinning room, I turned in my seat and couldn't believe my eyes. Thomas was wearing a suit- already! And his hair was a bit longer braided down his back, his teeth were bared and he had an evil smile on his face.
"What the fuck happened to you?" I asked him in shock at his sudden acceptance to this way of life.
"Don't you know friend?" He knelt down beside my chair picking up my hand and looking me in the eyes. "I'm a vampire now, well........" he bit into my hand- "Ow!" I yelled snatching it away in pain. "What the hell did you do that for?!"
"You bite me and I bite you back, right buddy? I'm a zombie now and it feeeels.....great." Thomas said laughing, as Caster stood up patting him on the back then steering him over to a chair beside him.
"Me and the brothers are thinking about opening a new wing of this place for me to own, like a casino, pretty cool huh?" Thomas was glowing with energy and I wanted to get closer to it, but why what was so special about him? It must be the excitement from him.
"What a glorious time huh?" Caster said lifting his glass in the air and they all gave him a cheers. I brought my glass back down and sipped from it timidly, 'what's going on?' I wondered, 'why are they being so damn friendly to him?'
'Don't worry about it, Chaos,' Caster transferred to my mind. 'we're only being nice because that's what you want- we're making him feel welcomed.' He smiled at me a genuine smile that actually made me feel comfortable.
Poor Polix life was obviously gonna be nice without him, I really did have Caster all wrong.
"Polix, will you please come with me?" Anna' broke the conversation calling him into the hall with her. He staggered up and walked to the hall. I tried to hold an ear to the conversation but I just heard this high pitched whine.
"Which one of you lucky young ladies wants a shot at me tonight?" Thomas asked chugging another bottle of wine.
'You're friend is a heavy drinker Chaos.' I heard Caster project to me, Leo shoved something in my mouth all of a sudden and then smiled at me.
"We gonna go dancing tonight, hot stuff?" She asked with a grin on her lips. I nodded at her giving her a kiss, slipping a little tongue in it, everyone was watching us all of a sudden and it just made me wanna go further. I sat myself on her lap while she remained in the chair, my hands went up her thighs to lift her skirt and un-do my own pants; Caster was watching in good health and a slight laugh.
We could have gone all the way if it weren't for the fact that the lights cut out, it was storming outside- bad. The house had been hit and we were all in a panic.......
Warning! Warning! There is a fire on floor three, those in the fire drill squad report upstairs for your orders!
I repeat, There is a fire on floor three, those in the fire drill squad report upstairs for your orders!
The fire was upstairs meaning we had a chance to get out of this place all together because we were downstairs. Thomas seemed to disappear into the smoke and Caster was nowhere to be found either.
The room was completely cleared out except for two of them and myself, Ray had almost died from fright- she must hate even the idea of fire- while Sparx hungrily walked to it, grabbing me by the wrist to do the same. "Come on, we fire types can handle this simple fire." She said to me dragging me upstairs with her, I wanted to get out of the house all together.
Once we got upstairs she ran directly into the flames, leaving me alone- where was the fire squad that was supposed to be up here? I wondered looking around and than staring at the blaze, something was funny about it, I leaned my vision in for a closer look and- "Aaaahhhhhhh!!!!!!"
I was jumped on by a large snake! It was coiling up around me, eyeing me, and rattling it's tail.
Its tongue slid from its lips and touched my face. "Eeeewwwww, GET OFF!!" I kicked it away and it slid around my body to coil me in, as it squeezed me I tried to get my fire power to kick in but it wasn't working!
I grunted and struggled to get free, but nothing worked- I was about to give in to the weight it was putting around me when I felt a sudden punch in the face; flying backwards into the wall I looked at the snake, had it punched me?
Either way it slithered out of the room as if it never even saw me and I was tempted to chase it and kill it but my arm started itching- burning! I began to scratch it and noticed that there was a large brown patch of fur on my lower arm.
"What the hell is this from?" I said to myself walking out of the room and down to the infirmary all the while feeling someone was on my back, as I got to the elevator. When I walked inside of it I glanced over there from the side of my eye and saw that the fire had been put out, Sparx must have done her job after all, it might have been her following me.
Once I got downstairs I walked towards the room and saw no one was in there, as I took a step inside for a better look I heard someone talking on the phone, it was a males voice.
"Um....Tranquil'? Are you in here?" I called out, but no answer. "Tranquil' are you back there?" I started to walk to the sound of the persons voice but when I went around the corner I saw- it was just the TV my shoulders slouched and I turned to leave the room but banged into Anna.
"What are you doing down here?" She asked me closing a computer screen from a lap top. "What's on there that you don't want me to see?" I asked, pushing her to the side, lifting it with complete slow dramatics, I saw her glance nervously at the screen and then when I lifted it-..... "What the fuck-? There's nothing on here." I said looking at her as she stood up brushing herself off.
"Of course there's nothing on that screen, I was just closing it." She said.
"Yeah, right, than why were you so nervous?" I asked getting into her face she backed into a wall scared of me than she glanced over my shoulder with a slight smile. "What are you smiling at?" I asked her.
"I'd watch my back if I were you." She said and as I turned around for my own answer and was bashed in the face with a club, she dodged being hit by me smacking against the wall and than she recovered from her dodge kicking me in the side against a pile of computers.
I opened my mouth and with luck my fire flew across the room, they ducked down and covered their heads; when the blaze stopped they stood up in battle stance. "Lets get him." Tranquil' said, and they started swinging.
I slammed my fist into his face but it bounced back hitting me in the face instead. He grinned out a laugh, and loomed over me. "Guess no one told you, I'm made of rubber- but don't let that fool you I have a punch like a bear. Rrrraaaaahhhhhh!!!"
He aimed for me but I moved to the side his fist made a hole in the floor beside me and I panicked, she mumbled something and needles shot from her hands I tumbled across the floor to the door- thank God-I got myself up and ran like the wind to the elevator with them following me! Once I got in, I relaxed.
Wait until I tell the others how shamefully those two have treated me, they'll be sorry- "Whao!!" I was thrown forward to the floor. "What the- ?" The elevator had stopped moving and the lights went out, but I could still see from my vampire vision and a red emergency light came on minutes later.
I hear something.....somebody's laughing at me, there are different ones, high, low, medium, but none that I recognized. The elevator started to move but it was taking me lower and going so fast that I was lifted into the air- I spread my arms and legs to keep myself on the ceiling to avoid being at the bottom when the impact came. When it finally stopped moving the bottom floor broke through and the doors opened to let me out.
'What the hell is going on?' I wondered, dropping to the floor and stepping into the training room.
"Welcome." I heard Casters voice when I was in the center of the room.
"Where am I? Why am I here?!" I shouted into the air. He just laughed at me and a door opened to my right.
"I wanna introduce you to someone, meet Revenge, the names a bit crude but the price is right."
Thomas slugged out of the darkness, his pupils were gone and he looked dazed, his skin had a slight cast of pale purple in it and it was fury; he had a staff in his hand with a sharp knife looking thing on the tip.
"Thomas, what have they done to you?" I asked him, hoping they hadn't warped his mind to my voice.
"Ready." A voice I've never heard said, but that caused Thomas to go crazy.
(Start a song any song you like that's fast)
I heard the other vampires cheers as he began to circle me than he attacked swinging wildly I dodged him the best I could but was cut on my arm by the weapon he had in his hand, I put a hand on it to keep the blood in, waiting for it to heal with in the seconds but it didn't! What was going on? Is my power gone? I couldn't think long because he was diving down on me, I grabbed a weapon from the wall and began to attack back, we bashed our weapons into each others repeatedly but he was a bit stronger then I was and knocked me to the ground.
I tried to get up from under his weight but he pushed down hard, I bared my fangs trying to get all my strength I could to move him, and he leaned down into my face breathing heatedly onto it and in his moment of weakness for my blood I kicked him over my head rolling backwards to be on top of him, I put my lips to his mouth and blew in some fire.
He screamed in pain and began to writh under me I thought I had him until his eyes blasted me with a beam of light, flying backwards I hit the wall- my back was killing me from being tossed around so much but I stood up to hold my ground.
He didn't seem to be in anymore pain in fact he looked bigger! He ran towards me than thrust his staff in my direction being distracted from trying to dodge that he pounded me into the wall literally- it was just like my fight with Aries.
I kicked him in the stomach and charged out of there slashing into the air, it was useless he was better than me and he knocked it easily out of my hand- though I wasn't really used to this weapon anyway. I wanted those gloves Polix gave me, but I left them upstairs I had to go get them, but could I leave?
I thought of where I wanted to be and teleported upstairs to my room. Leo!? I crawled onto my bed with her and she put her arms around me rubbing my shoulders. "What's the matter Chaos?" She asked me blankly unaware of what went on downstairs.
"Everyone is trying to kill me, I just got attacked by Tranquil', Annastetics, and Thom- I mean Revenge." I snuggled into her, it felt so good to have real comfort right now.
"I know." She said coldly morbid.
"What?" I couldn't believe it she knew!? I turned my face up to face her. "What are you saying?"
"The world belongs to us, not the humans,"
I hadn't noticed when I walked in but her eyes were missing the pupils too! She put her arms around me tighter and her grip began to harden. I pushed away from her before it could get any stronger and stumbled to the floor. I ran to the door but she leaped off the bed and slammed her fist into the floor causing an earth quake under my feet, I fell to the floor but staggered up as she began to chase me down the hall laughing.
"Come back, I only wanna help you Chaos!" She was shouting behind me. I ducked into a room and noticed it was a stairwell I slid myself down the stairs as quickly as I could, but I tripped over my foot and fell the rest of the way, when I stopped falling I looked up and saw Diablo he was looking down at me with a huge grin on his face and through that grin he said, "Run."
I got up and ran for it was fast as I could, he seemed not to care and stayed behind but as I reached the door to the fourth floor near the basement he jumped down to where I was standing. "Get out of my way Diablo, I'm not afraid of you."
He just smiled at me, when I went by him through the door he just stayed behind and watched me I thought maybe he was still sane so I had nothing to worry about, but the hall started to sway and bend ceiling me into it; I heard the weight of his feet step through the door I turned around and saw him walking up to the roof of the hall way.
I tried to run but something had my feet planted in place, I heard the laugh and knew who it was.
Aries held onto my feet tightly, he was closer now and he balled his fist up and popped me right down on my head with both of them, I fell back on the floor and she climbed through it the rest of the way.
She moved her arms about to build up gravity to blast at me but I ran, it didn't do much good because I was soon hit with the energy, by now my whole face was bleeding and trying to heal itself but it wasn't working very well. Diablo leaped into the air and landed on my back he began to pound me on the shoulder blades.
Aries began to howl something wicked and I heard murmured voices and saw shadows in the darkness. 'This is it, the end......' I thought feeling the life I already lost slip away from me again. As they all dove for me I fell through the floor and slapped against a cold basement one.
There was an eerie tune going and I managed to get my head lifted enough to see Caster- and Polix!
(stop song.)
"Hi Chaos, surprised to see me? I know I am." Polix said blowing out a puff of smoke but leaving the cigarette in his mouth as he did it, his hands were occupied across his chest.
"I thought you were sick?" I said kneeling because I couldn't quite stand.
"Yeah, well I got kinda bored of that so I stopped." He responded arrogantly, pulling out a handkerchief and throwing it at my foot. "Wipe yourself off Chaos, you're bleeding."
"What the fuck is going on here?" I asked.
"We'll show you." Caster said.
(start a different song, fast again)
Doors opened all around them and out stepped the posse Diablo, Aries, Leo, Tranquil', Anna, Sparx, and Revenge.
They surrounded me in the room some of them with weapons in their hands.
"You made a big mistake Chaos, you broke the most important rule of the vampires." Polix was saying as he put opposite hands across his hips sliding two swords from there sheath making a silver 'X' beam across his face, Caster showed me his hands which had gloves on them too only his were made of gold. "Never go against the Gemini brothers."
From the side of my eye Tranquil' made the first move by extending his arm and slamming it into the ground beside me that was enough cover for me to leap into the air and slap him in the mouth with a side ways jump kick, it took a lot of effort but he fell into the wall, Leo stepped up next and part of me said not to hurt her but she slammed a rock hard fist into my chest nearly cracking a rib!
She walked over to me with the Devils smile but I did a back roll to a standing position and when she swung at me again I stepped to the left grabbing a handful of her hair and twisting it in my grip, then kicked her in the side ripping a chuck out; she screamed in pain and slammed herself to the ground bringing her fist down for an earth quake the others flew away from.
I didn't get a chance to fly away because Diablo flew into me with a punch into the wall he stayed with me the whole distance and sat on me pinning me to the wall and bashing me in the face, I pushed him off of me with ease but in turn he only moved so I could be hit with an energy ball it compressed a dent in the wall and I blew a blast of fire towards the middle where Aries was standing, it hit her but she brushed it off painfully leaving me idle long enough to run as a barage of needles came spitting from Anna's hand. I ran up the wall half way and came down kicking her away from me.
When I landed onto the floor again, Sparx grabbed me holding me from behind with my arms pinned to my back while Revenge bashed into my stomach with punches moving up to my face, it took all my strength to bring my legs up and kick him in the stomach pushing myself off of him as I did it, I managed to slam Sparx into the wall I did it three more time before I let her drop. I took a glance at Caster and Polix, Caster looked irritated but Polix looked positively amused at the new challenge.
I heard the sound of fingers snapping behind me and blue fire blazed up like a phoenix and burnt my shoulders to a crisp. I couldn't let her get away with that so I turned to fight her, she swung and missed me, I swung and hit her, but she spun herself around from the attack and she kicked me; I stumbled falling to the floor but quickly got back up.
She tried her fire balls but I grabbed her fist before anything could come out then lifted my legs kicking her repeatedly in the stomach than pushing myself off dislocating her shoulders as she hit the wall.
I felt him before I saw him because a cold wind blew across my back and next came a golden fist in the face. The punch was so hard I think I lost my baby teeth in my next life, I hit the wall with Caster crashing into me seconds later but I moved out of the way and his hand hit the wall breaking finger holes in it; mini sparks crashed by my face as Polix's swords slashed the wall leaving cut marks in it.
They walled me in with fierce swings so I rolled up the wall pushing myself off until I was a distance away from them both, they ran circles around me building up a combined tornado.
I whirled around in the middle of it as they leaped back and fourth cutting me left and right I began to spin myself in the opposite direction and broke free.
I built up enough heat to ignite the whole room but they didn't seem to care as the fire blazed around them, Polix ran at me slashing at the air I backed up to avoid being cut, the sword hit my jacket though and knocked to the floor, my gloves!
I spit a fire ball into his face and he backed away brushing it off, I snatched my gloves from the floor being grabbed on the neck in the process and then pounded on the head by Caster, he than put his foot into my back and kicked me away taking a chunk of skin from my neck.
He leaped in the air with a spin brining an elbow down into my back and as I rolled over when he got up two swords came stabbing down beside my head and Polix bashed his head into mine.
I felt the pain of that for a moment as he used the swords to flip himself up off of me when I quickly stood to get away from him he lifted himself with there support and kicked me in the back I went flying towards flames being greeted by Casters fist in my throat, I sat there choking from the impact and they walked up on me with smirks.
"Give it up Chaos, you're food now- you're dead." Caster said.
I looked at them with the most rage and anger I had in my whole body as they approached me ready for the kill but when they got close enough the air thickened and- BOOM!
(stop song)
