Ch 2
A new threat


As I turned the corners of the street I looked desperately for something that she could drink from...for I knew it would not be long before she died, then I saw him, a big strong man who was wearing a blue jacket and black pants, he was walking alone. I told myself I would never harm an innocent but at the moment I didn't care, I rushed him with all my force and threw him to the ground, as he looked up at me all he saw was a kid. As he screamed I shoved me claws into his rib cage the blood was running down my hands and it was so warm to the touch, I remembered this from my first kill. As he started to scream I threw my other hand out and with my claws I cut is larynics and suddenly the screaming stopped as if someone pressed the mute button on him, as I leaned over to start picking him up I saw the terror in his eye's he tried to push me away with all the strength he had left but it was useless....he was mine. I quickly grabbed him and started running into the cathedral and threw him at Ekimus feet, he looked at me in surprise at who I brought, for he had never seen me kill so wild before.
"She will do fine with this much blood....Now be gone and let her feed and rest, then we shall tell her what has happened and you Alex will have to show her how to feed and how to survive, and then awaken her powers...for she also has been gifted with the gifts that you have been given...I can smell them on her"
"How can that be, you told me I was the last evolution of Vampire?" I said shakily.
"But I am starting to believe she is you soul mate Alex....So she must be the same as you, now GO before I decide to make you go"
I walked out of the Cathedral with a anxiety....I wondered what I would tell her, I remember what happened to me, I almost went insane, but then I realized the truth that I was a Vampire, but this was Julie, she was the purists soul I had ever seen, how will I tell her that she must now drink blood to live, and worst of all that she could no longer see her family. It almost crushed me to pieces, I don't know how it will weigh on her.
I must have paced the steps for hours it seemed, when I felt the urge to go inside, I quickly checked my watch and it was almost 5 am, the sun was about to come up. I went inside to find Ekimus burning the corps of the young man who I'd killed earlier. Then I saw Julie naked in the corner in fright hiding from Ekimus, just like I had done when I first saw him.
I ran over to her, "Julie, it's me Alex......it's okay I'm here" She looked at me like she'd seen a ghost.
"It can't be..Your dead...but here you are.....ALEX" She jumped on me and started kissing me and hugging me for dear life. She forgot for a moment the beast that was behind me. "Where are we Alex, and what i..is that"
" Oh that" as I turned to Ekimus, almost laughing" That's just Ekimus he's a little mean at first but you'll get use to it, don't be afraid of him, he saved your life yah know."
"I didn't save anything." Said Ekimus, in his worst voice he could muster.
As I thought how good it was to see her, I also noticed her nails and hands had changed, they where the hands of vampires, they where now deadly weapons with sharp claws, and I also noticed her fangs, although small in her normal mode, I remembered with a shiver her fangs the night before.
"I love you so much Alex, please tell me what's happened."
I talked to her and told her what had happened to me and what I had gone through the past year, it took awhile to convince her but she eventually accepted, it took longer to convince her that she was a Vampire herself, and that she needed to drink blood.
Two weeks later we where walking around Southern New York when I heard a wolf cry in the alley next to us.
"What is it Alex."
"It's a Wolf, maybe a shape shifter but it's got a innocent, we have to help." I rushed down the alley and quickly saw what was happening, it was the opposite of what I thought. A wolf was being attacked by a group of Imps, I don't know why but the wolf wasn't attacking with full force. I lunged in to battle and threw Julie aside, she hadn't fully learned to fight yet.
I kicked the nearest Imp into the alley wall then shot a fireball at one that was on top of the wolf stabbing at it. It was shot off about 10 feet before it landed. Then two of the Imps quickly started to attack me, I leaped into the air and charged up enough energy and focused with all my might. "WATER BOMB." I shot a wave of water from my hands that hit the imps into another wall and went unconscious, the other three imps grabbed their friends and ran off into the darkness. I was surprised that the wolf was okay.
"Are you okay."
"Yes, thank you for you help...are you Alex Elder by chance?" In a rather girlish voice from the wolf.
I was a little scared to answer at first. "Yes I am, do you have business with me."
Suddenly the wolf reared back as if to attack but instead it started to change shape infront of me....I recognized who it was right away.....Lucifer.
"What do you want here, I told you to leave me alone, I won't join you."
"Join me, I came here to thank you...and I see you received your present from me...pointing to Julie." I almost fell back at the comment, and I also wanted to jump on him and rip his black heart out.
"What do you mean present?" I felt a chill suddenly come on.
"Why the present for you saving me and my business, yah know that Queen B had it in for everybody...God, Ekimus, you, and me....how could someone hate me, can yah believe it."
"I should have let her, at least then I wouldn't have to fight anymore."
"Sure you say that now, but I keep a lot of people in check actually."
"Alex who is this, and what is he talking about." Julie said.
"This is Lucifer, Julie...I'm sorry, I didn't thank you'd have to ever see him." I hated myself for making her see his black face.
He looked at me with a smirk, " Oh come on Alex, I thought me and you could be palls or something yah know, sense you saved my life, I've started to like you....well actually it should be a payback sense I saved your life from the Micheal....by the way you never thanked me for that."
"As I remember it I did, and then told you to leave me alone." I said as I remembered the Christmas night with the 12 angels trying to judge weather I would go to evil or good.
"Please Alex, I just want to be your friend....please?" He looked almost sincere.
I turned away from him and grabbed Julie as we walked out of the alley, wishing not to look back. I quickly turned back to the Cathedral and ran as quickly as I could with Julie in my arms. I had to find out what Lucifer is up to.....before I find out to late.
