The Vampire`s Lust
By: MWC
-Part II continued from Part I-
I made it to the street level, more angry than before. For the next hour I fed off of the human
scum. Afterwards I sat on a pile of garbage and tried desperately to gather myself. But it wasn`t
working. I just kept thinking about the shotgun shell ripping through Gabby`s stomach, her blood
everywhere. With that I let out one hell of a scream and started punching the wall. For some
reason I stopped and looked towards the street, and saw Mercury standing there. She seemed
worried, about what I don`t know. She walked over to me and knelt down.
"Gabby has recovered, she is doing fine and you know it, but what`s bothering you?" she asked me.
"I can`t help it. I try not to think about it but I just can`t help it," I pleaded.
"Try not to think about what?"
"Gabby. Dammit, she almost died, and by the hands of some human." I stood up and leaned forward
against the wall. I continued. "Whenever I think about it I get really mad, at the humans. So mad
I just want to feast on every human I can."
Mercury just stood there. I don`t think she knew what to say in at a time like this. So I just
faced her and looked her right in the eyes.
"BLADE is mine. This is payback," I said.
"But Gabby didn`t die, and she wouldn`t want you beating yourself up like this" Mercury told me.
By now I lost it. "It doesn`t matter!! BLADE is helping the humans and a human almost killed my
damn girlfriend! Someone has to pay and I`ve chosen BLADE. So you tell Frost to leave his hands
off of BLADE, because he`s mine."
With that I walked away, Mercury of course followed. Around an hour after we returned to the
suite, Frost, Mercury, Quinn, Gabby, and myself went to the night club. This time they were
playing really good music, Trance to be exact. Frost and Mercury went in the middle of the dance
floor and started dancing together, me and Gabby did the same. Thanks to our previous dancing
experience me and Gabby were the best dancers out there. All the other ravers around us stopped
and formed a circle around us and watched in amazement. Gabby and I were excellent dancers in our
human lives, but as vampires we were faster and could go for longer. For a few minutes we did
partner routines until we separated and did our single routines. At that point we decided to
battle each other, Gabby started first. She was marvelous with her rave-style dancing. She ended
her first routine, right infront of me, and gave the floor to me for my routine. I walked out to
the middle, threw my full-length leather jacket off, and quickly went into my breakdancing
routine. For those who know breakdancing, this was a simple routine. I just did a simple 6-step
into a windmill then a freeze, then I gave the floor back to Gabby. The battle went on for at
least a half an hour. Finally I had to give up, Gabby`s speed and agility was far greater than
mine. I signaled my surrender and shortly after the crowd began applauding. Then the music
changed from Trance to Drum-n-Bass. That had to have been the best night of my vampire life.
After that we returned to the suite. Frost and Mercury went in to check on the human. At least my
sanity had returned. Me and Gabby both sat outside but our time together was cut short. One of
the security guards said that an intruder made it into the building. It was BLADE. Before he made
it up to the suite level he had completely taken out the entire security force. But by the time I
had made it to the room he was in, he was already captured. Frost`s dream was becoming a reality,
he was now able to summon La Magra. With that, we prepared the transport to the Temple of Eternal
Night.
--Chapter 3--
We made it to the temple before the truck that was carrying BLADE and the human. The interior of
the temple was, eerily beautiful. Mercury had taken BLADE`s sword, Quinn had his shades. By now
BLADE, the human, and the twelve purebloods were in the chamber with us.
Frost acknowledged BLADE`s presence. "BLADE, Karen, glad you could make it."
"Hey man, thanks for the shades," Quinn said.
"Our ancestors called this place 'The Temple of Eternal Night'. Nice, isn`t it?" Frost stated.
Frost continued. "Apperently these geniuses forgot it ever existed. Fortunately for us, I`m what
you might call a, student of history. Why are we here? This temple was built for one glorious
moment, tonight, the Blood God."
For some reason Quinn then punched BLADE in the face.
"Thanks," Frost said sarcastically. "Let`s see this sword of yours."
Mercury walked over, unsheathed the sword and threw it at Frost.
"Well, Titanium right? Acid-etched? I`ll get used to a weapon like this."
Frost held the sword infront of BLADE and flicked a switch, stopping the booby trap.
Frost went on. "What? You look surprised. I told you BLADE, I know everything about you. Hold out
your arm Quinn."
"Why man? They`re like, all better," Quinn asked.
"Hold out your arm," Frost ordered.
"Deac, I," Quinn pleaded. Quinn held out his arms, he looked really nervous as Frost raised the
sword.
"Just kidding," Frost said, patting Quinn on the back. Quinn looked confused then started
laughing. The human at that time was trying to get BLADE`s attention.
"He can`t here you honey," Frost said, "the thirst has got him now."
"What do we have here?" Frost asked. "The precious serum. How long has it been since you shot
up? 12, 13 hours? I bet you`re just dying for a drink. What`s it feel like? Is your blood on
fire?"
BLADE tried coaxing Frost into taking some. "Try it. You might like it."
Of course, Frost denied and tossed it away. After a few more words were exchanged BLADE, the
human, and the purebloods were taken away. I went up to the top level with Gabby. After a few
minutes of preparing, the purebloods were finally placed in their positions. I couldn`t make out
any words but I could see two of the purebloods talking to Mercury. One must have made her mad
because she quickly unsheathed the sword and stabbed one. ::What the hell is she doing?!:: I
thought. Frost kinda needed all twelve for the summoning of La Magra. Shortly after BLADE`s blood
began pouring downward, dripping on the purebloods` foreheads. The ceremony had begun. Gabby got
up and walked over to the egde.
"What`s going on?" Gabby asked me.
"It`s starting," I told her.
With that, a single drop of blood fell from the ceiling and landed on Frost`s forehead.
Afterwards the glyphs along the walls lit up and lightning shot out of the bottom glyphs, and
into the purebloods` foreheads. The lightning was too bright so I had to look away.
A few moments later I finally decided to look back down. Everything was calm, and the purebloods
were missing, so were Frost and Mercury. Something quickly caught my attention. I looked to the
left and saw BLADE run out and jump down to the lower level.
"Holy shit," I said to myself. I looked over at Gabby. "Gabby, please, for me, hide."
Gabby nodded than ran down a corridor. After she hid I looked down and saw Mercury get sprayed
with something the human was holding. ::Fuck:: I thought as I saw Mercury`s head explode. I then
composed myself, and jumped down after BLADE. I landed perfectly, much to my surprise, and saw
BLADE working on the security force. After he finished with them and grabbed his sword, I made my
presence known.
"BLADE!" I yelled out. BLADE quickly turned around and faced me. "Your friend tried to kill my
girlfriend, but I think she liked his blood."
"Well, looks like I`ll have to kill your girlfriend for him," BLADE said.
"Aaaahh! I`m gonna kill you!" I screamed as I charged BLADE. He took out his sword and slashed at
me, but I dodged it. I countered with a roundhouse kick to his face. This knocked BLADE back.
"What?" I coaxed, "Is that all you have?"
I kicked him again in the stomach. I was about ready to kick him in the face, but he quickly
pulled out his sword and thrusted it in my stomach. I grunted as it went in, and shrieked as it
was pulled out. The last thing I remember, before I keeled over and blacked out, was Frost
challenging BLADE, and BLADE running up to him.
I finally came to I think an hour later. It took me a few minutes to recover but I soon realized
that I was the only vampire alive. I stumbled out into the center of the room. BLADE and the
human were gone, dead, I`m not sure. But I quickly remembered.
"Gabby!" I yelled out. "Gabby?!" Finally, I saw her appear at the ledge. My heart quickly filled
with relief. "Are you ok?" I asked.
"Yeah, I`m fine," she answered.
After breathing a sigh of relief I finally said, "Come on, let`s get outta here."
We climbed the ladder to the oustide and noticed that the sun was rising, so we quickly and
safely got back to Frost`s suite, except we were the only ones going back to it. It was going to
be hard continuing the vampire life without Frost, Quinn, or Mercury. Except, we were given more
than one choice. When we got back to the suite we noticed BLADE and the human were there as well.
"Came back to finish you off," BLADE said holding that shotgun again.
Gabby stumbled backwards as BLADE raised the gun, I stood my ground.
"Unless, you are willing to take the easy way out," BLADE continued.
I was puzzled. "What do you mean?" I asked him.
"Well," he responded, "either I can kill you right here, and end your pathetic vampire lives, or,
you can take Dr. Jenson`s cure, which will turn you back to humans."
This was difficult. By now I loved the life of a vampire, but on the other hand, I didn`t want to
lose Gabby. Speaking of which, while I was standing there thinking, Gabby walked over and placed
her hand on my shoulder.
"Matt, I don`t want to die, but most importantly, I don`t want to lose you," she said, "Let`s
just take this cure."
I was most shocked. I wasn`t called by my human name in weeks now. I had to agree.
"Okay, we`ll take the cure," I said. Gabby seemed very thrilled.
Before we left, we put on sunblock so the sun wouldn`t affect us. On the way back to BLADE`s
makeshift headquarters, we followed his car in my car. The ride was really long. All I could
think about was all of the interesting times we had, and the abilities which we were going to
lose. To be honest, I didn`t want all that to end, but I also didn`t want to lose Gabby. If I had
rejected, BLADE would have killed me, probably Gabby too. If not, Gabby would have been
devistated. Basically, I had accepted to take the cure for her sake. In a way, my sake too
because I wouldn`t be losing Gabby.
We finally made it to BLADE`s headquarters. Not much to say about it, mainly because I was there
before. We got out of the car and walked over to where the human was standing. She appeared to be
mixing something and putting it in a syringe.
"Okay, I`m going to inject this serum into you. You will lose your strength, ability to
regenerate, and your speed. You will be.." I interrupted her.
"I know, I know, just inject me," I told her.
She shrugged then walked over to me. It felt a little painful as she injected me, but the
reaction quickly took effect. She then grabbed another syringe and walked over to Gabby as I was
really starting to feel the affect.
About an hour later I was completely out of it. I was very weak, nautious, and my mouth was
killing me. Gabby apperently felt the same. I can`t remember much from that point but about two
hours after I felt much better, Gabby too.
Well, to tell you the truth, I never thought I would be doing this, but afterwards I was thanking
BLADE. To be honest, I kinda missed Frost and the "adventures" we had, but I was thanking him for
giving us the option of living as humans, rather than dying as vampires.
That night we went back to our apartment. It had been quite sometime, like we were just moving
in. Gabby jumped onto the couch to go to sleep, I leaned against the wall. Suddenly there was a
knock on the door. I pushed myself away from the wall and walked over to the door. Strangely, it
was two cops. They basically said that they heard me and Gabby were kidnapped and were just
checking on us. I told them we were okay. As they left I noticed something strange. While they
were walking away I noticed they had symbols on the backs of their necks, kinda like the glyphs
that were at the temple. Oh well, I was too tired to care anyway, so I think I`ll just go to
sleep and forget this ever happened. Why were those cops really here anyway?
