Part two: At the club "The Dark"

Part two: At the club "The Dark"

Lamia: The ancient Greeks and the Romans after them, believed in a beautiful

mysterious type of female vampire called a lamia. Similar to the cunning

succubus, the lamia seduced men in order to drink their blood. Sometime

later, the Greeks developed a new term for the vampire: vrukalakos, a

creature who was able to revive the dead, and whose victims would then feast

on the living.

Breather -- a living human being; especially, a member of mainstream human

society. Usually derogatory.

"Alex you are not taking notes right now!!" Katie exclaimed.

"Oh yes I am!" Alex argued back adjusting herself in her chair better.

The Dark was a teenager hangout. Everybody went there.

Alex and Katie had chosen a black marble table in the middle of the room.

Katie had insisted that this would be where they would be spotted by some

hot guys.

"OHMYGOD Alex some hot guys just came in and they're coming this way," Katie

squealed as she ran her fingers through her hair.

"Goody for you," Alex said as she pulled out a pencil and a pad of paper.

"Are these seats taken??" asked one of the guys as he flipped his chocolate

colored hair out of his eyes.

"Yes," Alex said just as Katie said "No."

"Are they or aren't they?" the other guy said with red hair streaked with

blonde hair that shimmied in the light.

"No," Katie said glaring at Alex.

"I'm Kronos people call me Kron though," said the one with the red hair.

"Kronos?? He was a titan. That's a Greek name isn't it?" Alex asked.

"Why yes it is. I come from Greece. Born and raised for half of my life

anyway," he said smiling.

Alex lifted her eyes to him and flinched back as she saw his red hair. She

swung her head around and looked at Katie.

"Alex don't start!!" Katie said as she rolled her eyes and sighed.

"Start what?" Kronos asked.

"Nothing, what's your friends name?" Katie asked changing the subject.

"Assyria, call me Sy," he said.

Alex eyes widened.

"What now?" Katie said.

"Oh, nothing just a strange coincidence," Alex said lowering her eyes back

to her book.

"Yeah," Sy said and sat down next to Katie.

"So, I haven't seen you guys around. Are you new here?" Katie said getting

her flirtation attitude in mode.

"Yeah it is," said Kron.

"We're just moving through though," Sy said as he looked from Katie to Alex.

"Too bad," Katie said seductively.

Alex rolled her eyes again.

"Why is that?" Sy said switching his eyes from Alex to Katie.

"You'd have to stay to find out," Katie said.

"Well, we'll be here all tonight and tomorrow," Sy said.

Alex could feel Kron gazing at here.

"What are you reading?" Kron asked.

Alex lifted the book up so Kron could see the title.

"Christianity and Vampirism huh? You into vampires Alex?" Kron said smiling

at her.

Alex lifted her head up straight and then turned to look at Kron.

"At the moment," Alex said getting back to her book.

"What do you think a vampires kiss would be like?" Kron said to Alex.

Alex squinted her eyes in a funny way and lifted her head to look back at

Kron.

"Seriously though, if they were real and all," he said smiling.

"Full of bittersweet pleasures," Alex said smiling at him and then returning

to her book.

"Is that so?" Kron said distantly.

"Oh wow Lex I thought you were going to tell him to go shove it,

impressive," Katie said laughing.

"Katie, what do you think it would be like?" Sy asked.

"Incredibly sexy," Katie said scooting closer to Sy.

"Excuse me while I go barf," Alex said as she got up.

"Are you a lesbian?" Kron asked as Alex was about ready to leave.

Katie chocked.

"A...No," Alex said smiling and shaking her head as she turned around and

headed for the bar.

"Hey Alex," said the Eric the bartender.

They didn't serve alcoholic beverages or anything they just needed the bar

table to serve drinks and for the dancers, volunteers, to dance on.

"Hey Eric, did you know that there are 12 different types of vampires!!"

Alex said to the older man.

Eric dropped a ginger ale bottle on the floor.

"Careful," Alex said smiling.

"Vampires are your topic huh? Maybe you should change it," Eric said

weirdly.

"Oh, why?" Alex said as she reached over for a cherry.

"Whatcha talkin about Alex??" said Kron as he sat down next to her with his

arm around her shoulders.

"Different types of vampires," Alex said shrugging his arm off of his

shoulders.

Eric swallowed hard.

"How many different types are there?" Kron said looking at Eric amusingly.

"12, listen to them, there's Sanguinarian which is someone who has a

physical thirst/need/craving for blood (which is non-erotic in nature) in

more significant quantity than is generally required or desired by other

blood-drinkers. There are some sanguinarians who feed during sexual

activity...this is most generally to stimulate the level of pranic energy.

Ugh huh? Then theres Empath Vampires which is an individual who seeks

emotions and feed from them. They, supposedly, also seek to intensify the

emotions so that their feeding can be greater. Empath can feed from all

emotions. Some, not all, empaths can project their emotions to others...this

is another way that they (the ones who can project) like to feed. Well that

wasn't that as bad as the other one. There's PSI which is an individual who

has a need to feed upon the life force of others. Most energy vampires feed

upon chi or pranic energy and avoid drinking blood. Some intermingle energy

vampirism with blood-drinking. Also referred to as psi-vamps, most energy

vampires exhibit the same characteristics that distinguish other real

vampyres, including light sensitivity, a nocturnal lifestyle, and periods of

the Hunger or Thirst. PSY vampires is someone who "drains" life-energy

(prana, chi, life-force, whatever) rather than blood from others.

Psi-vampires may or may not consume blood as a means of extracting pranic

energy. "Psychic vampire" is a very common misnomer for "psi-vampire". Many

people, -- even the psi-vampires themselves, -- often do not make or even

realize the distinction between the two terms. Technically speaking, "A

psychic vampire is a vampire who is psychic while a psi-vampire is a vampire

who feeds on energy, preferably emotional energy. That has to be painful.

Don't you think?? There's Astral: someone who only feeds on the astral

plane, and attack on that level. They are many times, put in the same league

as Psychic Vampyres who feed from the life force energies, but don't require

any actual physical contact with their prey. There are Astral Vampyres who,

supposedly, can maintain their beingness in this plane for a very long time,

and seek weaker prey. They are not benign forces, and although very rare,

their feeding is similar to a psychic life force rape. EEch holy cow!!

Elemental: persons who feed from basic Natural Phenomena ie: Thunder Storms,

Severe storms, Powerful waterfalls or other Natural forces. They, for all

intents and purposes, have no desire to feed on living beings or anything

that living beings offer. I like elemenatal ones," Alex said.

Eric muffled a laugh and Kron held back a smile.

"I'm not done. There's Fetishist: A person who gains sexual satisfaction

from either drinking blood or having their blood drank. That is just gross

man!!!" Alex said making a gaging noise.

"I don't know sounds good to me," Kron said.

Alex gave her look that said 'get-a-life'

"If you liked that one then you'll like this one a sexual vampire which is a

form of psychic vampirism where feeding is done primarily from sexual

energy, with or without the exchange of blood. The feeding can be done

intentionally or unconsciously/unintentionally. Then there is Lifestylers or

"Permanent role-players". Whereas RPs/LARPs give up the persona after some

amount of time, this class does not. They go farther in their portrayal of

being vampiric. Such as stating they can fly, disintegrate upon touching

sunlight, sleep in boxes full of dirt, etc. and generally put forth any and

all of the stereotypical signs of the mythical vampire. Sleep in dirt?? How

do they do that??" Alex said in disgust.

"Hahahah That's a bunch of crap!! You don't really believe that do you?"

Kron asked as he held his stomach from laughing so hard.

"If it's in a book, I believe it. Then there's Clinical: Clinical vampires

seem different than most in that their bodies actually *crave* and *require*

blood in order to maintain normal functioning. While mainstream medical

science would laugh at such a notion it's exactly that sort of shallow,

narrow-minded yet "we care about you" thinking that nearly killed some folks

when it first started. This is giving me goose bumps. Role-Players: People

who appear to be stable individuals who indulge in fantasy play similar to

Dungeons and Dragons of the '80s. However RPs as well as LARPs (Live Action

Role Players) take it upon themselves to not only envision being their

character but to actually become their character in the 'real world', the

more complete the illusion the better at least as far as one game goes V:tM

or Vampire: The Masquerade. Psychotic Vampires: This shouldn't require much

explanation. There are others that could be put into this section, such as

blood fetishists who find sexual stimulation from the feel, look, taste of

blood. This type of vampyre, however, is more extreme and much more

dangerous, as they are impulse feeders and are likely to get a thrill from

making their donor a victim. They are likely to 'hunt' for a 'victim' rather

than use a donor and their actions are random. I would hate to come across

one of these guys!" Alex said shaking off her goose bumps.

"You are too gullible," Kron said.

"Yeah well, for all I know you could be one! You're from Greece and you have

red hair!!" Alex exclaimed as she unconsciously picked up another cherry by

the stem and placed it in her mouth and pulled the stem out.

"Huh??" Kron said smiling at her in amusement.

"Never mind," she said as she got her tenth cherry.

"You're a trip!" Kron said.

"I know, I'm like a drug, hang around me too much and you might get

addicted," Alex said as she ate another cherry.

Alex chomped on the cherry and at the same time smiling at him.

"I think it's too late for that," he whispered.

"Huh? What did you say?" Alex said.

"Nothing," Kron said.

"ALEX IF TAKE ANOTHER CHERRY I'M GOING TO TURN YOU OVER ON MY KNEE AND SPANK

YOU!!!" Eric said in his fatherly tone as he smacked her hand away.

"Owww!!! Okay, okay I won't take anymore. What time is it?" she asked as she

rubbed her reddening hand.

"12:00 p.m.," Eric said.

"Man oh man, I was suppose to be home an hour ago. See ya Eric. It was nice

meeting you Kron," Alex said as she started to gather her books and papers.

"Like-wise," Kron said looking at Alex as if he was deciding something.

"Bye Lex," Eric said as he started cleaning off the counter.

"One more cherry," Alex put in as she reached really fast to yank another

one from its place.

"ALEX. OUT. NOW!!!" Eric said.

Alex walked backwards smiling at him.

"See ya Monday Katie," Alex said as she walked by the table.

"Bye," Katie said.

Alex leaned over and whispered into Assyria's ear.

"If you hurt her I'll fucking gut you, and if you run I will hunt you down,

get it??" Alex said smiling at him as she brought her head back.

Sy looked at her like she was nuts.

"Yeah, got it," he smirked.

TBC...
