Superbeast
Chapter 3 finally!
Shriek the lips
Across ragged tongue,
Convulsing together.
Sing violently,
Move the jaw
Cry aloud. Bound up the dead
Triumphantly
The ragged they come and
The ragged they kill!
You pray so hard on bloody knees.
The ragged they come and
The ragged they kill!
Down in the cool air I can see.
Mercedes fired a silver bullet, it shot through the vampire's heart. He screamed as he burned to dust. Mercedes smiled and ducked down as a vampire lunged at her neck and shot him in the back. She got up reloading the gun.
"M. Watch your back!" Mercedes turned to see a blade flash, cutting a vampire into four pieces and he crumbled to dust infront of her. Mercedes groaned. She had miscounted. Blade was gonna bitch about this all night.
"Thanks man." Blade frowned at her. Mercedes shrugged, "Sorry?" Blade ignored her. "Won't happened again?" Mercedes wondered if he was giving her the silent treatment. "You deaf fuck!" Mercedes yelled to his attention. Then she heard something behind her.
"Move." Blade hissed, his lips not moving. "Get moving." Mercedes fingered the trigger not moving. "Move M." It was getting closer... "M! MOVE NOW!"
Mercedes dropped and rolled to the side as a reaper lunged and landed on the spot she'd been standing. It turned and snarled at her, it's jaw ripping apart. Mercedes gave it a sidekick knocking it into the wall.
"M! Get outta here!" A blue circular light appeared on the Reaper's head. "Move your damn ass! M!" Mercedes hesitated then ran off down the street. Blade held up his gun focusing the AV light, he smiled,
"Thought I wiped you fuckers out!" The reaper hissed as the AV light burned into its skin. "Lucky me!"
Mercedes ran down the streets and into an alley. She watched Blade slowly burning the reaper to dust. There was a heavy breathing behind her and Mercedes' fingers clasped the trigger.
"Come and get me fucker!" She whispered.
"With pleasure." Mercedes was grabbed and thrown against the wall after knocking over several trashcans in the struggle. Mercedes' eyes became adjusted to the light as she recognized the voice.
"Nomak." Nomak smiled, the lower part of his face covered in blood, "Hey! Fuck off!" Nomak dropped her instantly and she fell on the ground with a thud. She hit something cold and hard. Mercedes freaked as she realized it was a corpse. The alley was full of corpses with reapers feeding on them. She jumped up with a shiver going down her spine. She picked up her gun and sighed, "What do you want?"
"I have a... job for you." Nomak pulled her close to him, whispering in her ear. Mercedes listened but was repulsed with the thick smell of blood. Suddenly the street was lit up in an explosion of blue light. Nomak finished talking, he leaned in closer and licked her neck. Liking how she flinched,
"I'd love to sink my teeth into your pretty neck. Who knows? Maybe someday I will."
He disappeared into the darkness with his reapers following. Leaving her alone and afraid. With his cruel laugh echoing through her mind and the alley.
"M!" Blade appeared in the alley entrance. "M! You look freaked." Mercedes stood there for a moment before breaking out of the trance.
"I'm chillin' B." She pushed past him. "Let's go send some vamps back to hell!" Blade sniffed. There was blood on his shoulder. Mercedes' neck had connected with his shoulder. Blade saw the blood running down her neck. The blood from Nomak's mouth. But she wasn't a vamp. Blade sighed and followed her. What the fuck was going on?
Hey, Yeah - I'm the one that you wanted
Hey, Yeah - I'm your Superbeast
Hey, Yeah - I'm the one that you wanted
Hey, Yeah - I'm your Superbeast
Stir the limbs across the wrist,
Full possession of memory.
Bury me as a dog,
Icy hands surrounding me.
Mercedes, Delilah and Aaliyah stood infront of a graffiti covered building.
"Is this where the bitchin' party's happenin'?" Dee asked. Mercedes held up a pair of binoculars and saw the glowing vampire symbol. She went over and punched the symbol.
"Let's get the party started." A metal door in the alley next to it swung open. Carrying their instruments they went inside the door closing automatically behind them.
"Ooo spooky." Aaliyah joked. They went through a room packed with weapons and vampire guards. Mercedes resisted the urge to beat them to dust. A vampire guard opened the door for them.
"No weapons for the ladies?" He smiled. Aali shook her head.
"Nuh huh, no mutilating shit for us, brother." Mercedes grabbed a razor. Dee and Aali exchanged nervous glances. M had been acting weird lately.
"For my boo." She shrugged.
"Have fun sweetheart." The guard said.
"Don't worry if I'm not I know who to come to." Mercedes went up and caressed his chest before walking into the party with Dee and Aali. Guard licked his lips,
"That bitch is gonna be one hell of a suck."
"Cool." Dee said as she looked around at the wild party. "This place is bitchin'!"
"What boo? You gotta boo an' you don't tell me!" Aali squealed but Mercedes wasn't paying any attention. She started to make her way through the crowd, beating, pushing and occasionally lashing out with her guitar. Dee and Aali watched her, Aali put her hands on her hips, "Bitch's gone nuts!"
They took a safer route sticking to the walls. Mercedes was already up there when they got to the stage. She had pissed off some very angry vamps. The manager ran up to them.
"Where you been at? They nearly been trashin' place. Start playin' that's what I'm paying yall for!"
"Okay baby. Okay!" Aali smirked at the black manager. She sat on her stool behind her drums. Delilah and Mercedes plugged their guitars to the amps. Delilah looked Mercedes' guitar.
"Shit girl! You did some damage!"
"Let's just get this mother over with." Mercedes' body tingled with anticipation, striking a few chord on her guitars. She gave the manager thumbs up.
"The bitches yall been waitin' for... The Miss Lucifers!" The crowd was deafening.
Mercedes gripped the mike in sweaty gloved hands and sung in her hypnotic Goth way. Her eyes darting through the crowd to meet the yellow ones of the hooded figure standing at the back of the room. Mercedes felt the way his tongue had licked her neck, his breath on her skin and his voice,
"I'd love to sink my teeth into your pretty neck. How knows? Maybe someday I will."
Mercedes ended the song in a mournful wail appealing to the crowd. She threw the mike half way across the room and as she did it fell to the floor. She crouched there for a moment, panting, her head hung. She clenched her fists. Mercedes looked up then slowly got up. The crowd was silent watching her every movement. Whispers filled the room but Mercedes was oblivious to them.
"I'd love to sink my teeth into your pretty neck. How know? Maybe someday I will."
Mercedes smashed her guitar into the amp. Spark flashed. She slammed it down again and again until the amp was totally destroyed. She ripped Dee's guitar from her and smashed it into Aali's drum kit. Both girls moved away knowing what she was capable of. The manager lunged at her, fangs bared,
"You little bitch!" Mercedes was slowly tearing the drumsticks through the drums. She staked the manager with a drumstick. She stood up and raised the drumsticks in the air. She spoke in vampire language,
"Vampires. I hate vampires." She jumped into the crowd and was caught. She staked the vampires of either side of her. She launched herself off a vampire, back flipped and landed behind him. She staked him in the back. Everything was blurry but she saw Nomak feeding on the guards and reapers attacking vampires. Mercedes shot bullets, staked and threw silver discs all at once. Nomak watched her, licking his fingers, impressed by her fighting skills. He grabbed a dying vampire guard and twisted his head to look at Mercedes.
"Do you see that girl?" The vampire nodded painfully. "Doesn't she have the most pretty neck?"
"Yes."
"Good." Nomak smiled and snapped the vampire's head off. "One day I will drink from that neck."
The ragged they come and
The ragged they kill!
You pray so hard on bloody knees.
The ragged they come and
The ragged they kill!
Down in the cool air I can see.
Hey, Yeah - I'm the one that you wanted
Hey, Yeah - I'm your Superbeast
Hey, Yeah - I'm the one that you wanted
Hey, Yeah - I'm your Superbeast
Mercedes lay exhausted on the bar table. Watching reapers feeding on vampires and vampires turning into reapers with half closed eyes. A hand caressed her neck and Mercedes moaned. Then she saw Nomak standing over her and she was instantly awake. She sat up painfully.
"You did well." Nomak licked the blood from his face. "You're bleeding." Nomak looked hungrily at the slash on her cheek, dripping blood down her cheek.
"Leave me alone." Mercedes moved to the edge of the bar table, dangling her legs off and her arms in her lap. Nomak moved forward. "Back off."
"You're hurt." Nomak knew she was too weak to defend herself, "Let me help." Mercedes struggled but Nomak licked the blood from her cheek and gently sucked the wound. His lips were soft it was like a kiss. Mercedes groaned,
"You're driving me crazy." Mercedes pushed him away only to bring him back to kiss him. Then she slumped back on the table.
"Why did you that?" Mercedes smirked to see how surprised Nomak was.
'I wanna to drive you crazy too." She grabbed his jacket and pulled him closer. "I'm nuts how are you?"
Nomak kissed her hungrily, "I'm insane." Mercedes laughed softly. She pulled the razor from her trench coat. "What are you doing?"
"I wanna know how it feels." Mercedes slit her tongue and blood gushed out. Nomak kissed her from it spilling out of mouth. His tongue lapped it up in her mouth until the slit was just a wound. "No wonder they do it so much."
"I wouldn't know. I'm not a vampire." Mercedes ran her finger down the slit on his neck and it opened up slightly.
"A weak soft?"
"Yes." Nomak said with a voice full of lust and hunger. He kissed her violently as he moved down to her neck. His jaw started pulling apart...
The entrance door burst off its hinges. Blade stood in the doorframe holding his gun. "M!"
"Blade!" Nomak smiled and pulled his jaw fully apart. Blade opened his trench coat with UV bombs inside it.
"Nomak. Looks like my kinda party." The reapers were starting to move towards Blade hungrily, shrieking at him.
Mercedes watched Blade and the reapers duke it out. The whole place exploded with blue light leaving only Blade, Mercedes and a room full of burning corpse. Mercedes looked around for Nomak but he was gone. Blade grabbed Mercedes' arm and pulled her out of the club and into his car. Blade started driving very fast.
"What the fuck were you thinking? Are you on drugs? You're screwing a vampire! What the hell, Mercedes? A bloodsucker! You're fucking crazy! A vampire, Mercedes! A reaper! Where the fuck are you at?"
Mercedes sighed and looked at the window, pressing her hand against the glass. He was right. Where the fuck was she at? What the fuck was she doing?
Shriek the lips
Across ragged tongue,
Convulsing together.
Sing violently, Move the jaw
Cry aloud. Bound up the dead
Triumphantly
The ragged they come and
The ragged they kill!
You pray so hard on bloody knees.
The ragged they come and
The ragged they kill!

Aaliyah and Delilah moved through the wreckage and burning corpses.
"What the fuck is going on with that, girl? Aali looked at their destroyed instruments. "That shit cost me heaps!"
"She looked like she was having a hell of a good time with that monster guy." Delilah shrugged.
"She's messed up, girl!" Aali put her hands in the air. Delilah fell to the floor unconscious. "Dee? What the fu..?" Aaliyah lay on floor besides her knocked out. Uniformed men lifted them over their shoulders as others inspected the burning corpses. Aali and Dee were taken out to a van and shoved in the back. The uniformed men got into the van and slammed the doors behind them. One turned Delilah over and she groaned. He inspected the tattoo of a comical red she-devil on her arm,
"Miss Lucifers, Lord Damarskinos will be pleased."
Hey, Yeah - I'm the one that you wanted
Hey, Yeah - I'm your Superbeast
Hey, Yeah - I'm the one that you wanted

Blade parked the car and he sat there for a while. His hands were still on the steering wheel. Mercedes got out,
"Sorry man." Blade didn't say anything so Mercedes slammed the door and went inside, leaving him there. She walked in to see Whistler still working. He stopped when he saw her.
"Dust any tonight?" He saw Blade's car parked outside. "Oh." He scratched his beard. Mercedes pushed past him and walked into her room shutting the door. Mercedes looked at herself in the mirror she got so angry she smashed it with her fist. Her fingers were cut from glass but she didn't care, she just sucked on them. On impulse she started packing clothes and weapons into a black bag. Tears welled up in her eyes. She zipped the bag up and slung it over her shoulder. She opened the door slightly. Blade was talking to Whistler,
"She's screwing a vamp!" Mercedes shut the door just as something metal hit the ground. Whistler had obviously dropped whatever he was working on in shock. Mercedes let the tears flow freely. She went over to the window. It wouldn't so she smashed it. She kicked the remaining pieces off and climbed up on the windowsill. She turned back one last time.
"Bye." She whispered and jumped out the window. Blade and Whistler came into the room just as she jumped. They ran over to the window. Mercedes landed on her feet then stumbled and rolled hitting the ground hard. Picking her herself up she climbed up the mesh gate ignoring the barbwire at the top sticking into her. She jumped again. Landed on her feet, stumbled and rolled. She picked herself up and looked at the house. She saw Blade and Whistler looking out the window. She ran...
"M! ... M!" Whistler yelled.
"She can't hear you." Whistler looked at Blade.
"You gonna go bring her back?" Blade shook his head.
"No. She pretty messed up right now. She has to work things out. She'll come back when she's ready."
"I hope so kid." Whistler watched Mercedes disappear into the night.
Hey, Yeah - I'm the one that you wanted
Hey, Yeah - I'm your Superbeast
Hey, Yeah - I'm the one that you wanted
Hey, Yeah - I'm your Superbeast
A homeless girl in a oversized black hooded jacket, baggy pants, combat boots and fingerless gloves sat warming her hands alone by a trashcan fire. Her cheeks were tear stained and her eyes were bloodshot and had dark rings around them. Her fingers had little cuts on them. She was dirty and bloody. Her mascara trickled down her face like black tears drops. She stared blankly at the flames wishing she could die.
"Mercedes?" A hooded man sat down next to her, pulling back his hood. His face bloodstained from a fresh victim.
"Nomak." Mercedes' pulled back her hood. Nomak wrapped his arms around her. Letting her cry on him all night...
Hey, Yeah - I'm the one that you wanted
Hey, Yeah - I'm your Superbeast
Hey, Yeah - I'm the one that you wanted
Hey, Yeah I'm your Superbeast
God that was a bitch! Lyrics repeat at the end.
