I don't know what's up with me, but I just can't stand stop writing!
Do you think it's too much to do four chapters in two days? Oh well, here
is Chapter 4. Please review.
It will take you in the dark
Chapter 4
Kalvin suddenly felt incredibly weak. After a minute of swaying back and fourth on his feet, he fell his knees. "What's wrong with me?!" he demanded himself. He suddenly convulsed once, only once, then simply vanished into thin air.

Back in his tomb, Thaisis was quickly writing in his journal. "What a fool I have been, spending the last two hundred years on such a worthless partner! Kalvin was hardly adequate for my needs and desires, and he also had the oddest attachment to the feelings of mortals. But now I must start my search for new, better partner. But whence this will come -" Thaisis suddenly stopped writing. He could feel something working its way through him, and he suddenly felt weak. He laid his head on the table and clutched his pen, which snapped in half. He then convulsed once, and disappeared.
The next thing Thaisis saw was Kalvin lying on the dirt ground. He obviously hadn't yet recovered from whatever spell had been cast on them yet.
He looked around them. They were in some sort of cave, and a dim light was coming in from a slant in the rock wall. Other than that, all was dark. That wasn't a problem for him though, so he really didn't mind. He heard voices, and came nearer to the slant to see. There were four noticeably short men sitting together. They weren't children, but they still had a sort of innocence about them that bespoke of little experience with knowledge. Thaisis smiled and made plans for them in the notepad of his mind.
Then there was another sort man, but this one was very different from the others. He looked rough and not in the least bit inexperienced in the dangerous. Thaisis found the stubby limbs and bushy beard quite unattractive, but he was still drawn in as well, for he had never seen someone of quite this nature before.
Talking with each other were an old man and a younger man. Younger, that is, compared to the other. He still looked older than you would think, and he showed signs o being travel-worn and battle-tested. He also had an aura of great power about him, and that caught Thaisis' curiosity. The old man also seemed to set off strange feelings in the vampire's senses, but Thaisis didn't think much about it. It was probably just that the old man was incredibly wise or some little feat like that. Thaisis decided he would be the one to put the old man out of his misery of mortal aging.
Sitting by himself was another man, slightly younger than the other two. Thaisis instantly felt a whirlwind of feelings as he inspected him. Here was a beautifully complex mind; filled with courage, desperation, hope, corruption, and much more. Thaisis smiled and marked that man as a possible future partner.
Suddenly a faint glowing caught his eye. He first suspected a torch, but then he saw it was not a flame, but a person. Standing a little ways away from the old man and the other, there was an amazing beautiful young man. To Thaisis' wonder, he was glowing! He would have taken the opportunity to investigate further, but just then Kalvin moved behind him.
It was a subtle movement that no mortal would have been able to catch, but Thaisis caught it of course. Kalvin sat up, looked around, and got to his feet in one fluid movement. He glared across at Thaisis. "What'd you do?" Kalvin demanded instantly.
"Oh, you think I did this? No, I didn't. I do not know how or why, but I do not care. I am presently looking for a new partner. A better one than you." Thaisis replied.
Kalvin felt a sting of pain, but held it down. Thaisis smirked, and Kalvin knew he could tell. Still, Kalvin had to at least act like he didn't care. "It matters not to me, Thaisis. You were a horrible lover; even a mortal deserves better!"
It had been a stupid mistake. In an instant Thaisis was at his throat. "A mortal could never have it this good!" he hissed.
Kalvin knew it was true. When Thaisis had chosen him, he had turned him into a vampire. Mortals could not touch Thaisis.
It was then that they both heard a melodic voice hiss "There is something in the dark here!"

When Gandalf came and asked him if he was absolutely certain, Legolas could not help but be slightly annoyed. He knew that Gandalf meant well, he had to make sure Legolas knew for certain that something was there before starting any sort of panic. "Yes, I am very sure, Mithrandir! I can hear them speaking!"
Legolas had so many reasons to be tense just then. He hated caves, and they were now trapped in a huge Orc-invested one. Two voices were arguing about something involving the discussion of mortals, so they obviously had to be immortals to be talking like that. Suddenly all the old stories about Eol the Dark Elf came creeping back into his mind.
Well, that's it for now kiddies! More to come soon, I promise!! Oh, look at that, it's 2:36 in the morning.
