Part One
----
A hideous man that you don't understand
Throw a suicide party and I'm guaranteed to fucking snap
It's evilsonic,
it's pornoholic
Breakdown, obscenities it's all I wanna be
-------
I cursed to myself and ran back into the church. I gasped as I saw the broken body of that same woman on the floor, bleeding her life out. The man over her had discarded his robe... it was laying over the alter and he was now at her side, hovering. I didn't know what to do...
Could I just stand here?
She was dead... and this man was a potential killer...
"Stop thinking and do something, kid." The man stated in a low, husky voice. He didn't turn around... he just talked. I froze in my place. If I ran now...
...he might not be able to catch up...
I was so close to the door right now, and he was still on the floor.
"Don't even think about leaving," He stated languidly, without a trace of... anything... in his voice. It scared me... What was I supposed to do?
"You saw this, you can't just turn away. Walk closer. I could kill you at any moment."
I gulped, what the hell was I supposed to do...? I could ignore his warning and dart for the door... I may just be able to make it...
"If you run it's useless. I will be able to catch up, or shoot you down."
Was he reading my fucking thoughts!? I froze even more so... well... everything did except my feet. They moved in accordance with his request. Slowly... forward...
"Good boy. Now help me with this body."
I froze again, he wanted me to what!?
"Excuse me!?" I demanded, clenching my fist. Most people would have had the brains not to argue with a killer, but not me. Just because he wasn't afraid of killing people didn't mean that he was going to push me around!
"Come over here, I need to get it outside and into a dumpsite."
"No fucking way! You have to be insane if you think I'm just going to go along with that!" I spat, walking up closer just to see who the hell this man thought he was! And for some reason I realized now that I wasn't afraid... I wasn't afraid of him or what he did... it was really weird.
"Sanosuke, stop being a drama queen." He spat and that's when I started second-guessing myself.
He knew my name...
"Do I know you?"
"Not yet, but I know you." The man stated with a smirk and turned around to face me. There was a small river of blood flowing down his cheek... down his neck.
He noticed my gaze and quickly flicked his tongue down, licking up the remaining blood. Shit... that scream... this woman...
My eyes shot to the ground to see that, indeed, she had two puncture wounds in her neck. His eyes were glowing golden. Shit... was this guy a...?
"Vampire."
My eyes widened as he spoke to me, that deep tenor making me shake. But it wasn't fear.
He walked closer to me and placed his hands on my shoulders. He was cold... I couldn't feel any warmth.
I looked up to him... he was going to kill me... I knew it...
"Now, Sanosuke, help me with the body."
"How the fuck do you know my name!?" I demanded, trying to stop my shaking.
"Maybe later I'll tell you." He stated as calm as ever.
I gulped.
"Later? You mean you aren't gonna kill me?"
"Don't be stupid."
"But I saw the murder!" I protested, trying to convince myself that I wasn't being stupid. It wasn't as if I was begging for my death... I was just trying to prove that I was right and that he was wrong.
Damn, I was stupid.
"Would you prefer it if I killed you for it?" He asked quaintly, quirking an eyebrow.
"No! That's not what I mean... I mean..."
Shit, this wasn't going to work out for me.
"Even if I did let you go and you told the police about it, do you think that they would believe your story about a vampire? They don't know that I even exist, how can they arrest me?"
"Shit... you're right." I hung my head. "But if someone does see me with you they can arrest ME and an accomplice!!"
"That's why we aren't going to get caught." He replied smoothly, kneeling back down to the body.
I shook my head... I couldn't do this... she was dead and I was helping the fucking vampire.
"Sanosuke, hurry up." He stated as he held the legs of the victim.
I gulped once more, "Now you're going to tell me just what the fuck is going on here after this is done!" I shouted at him, unbelieving the fact that I was going to aid in getting ride of this dead body.
He smirked. "Hn, deal."
I walked over and gripped onto the shoulders, hoisting the body upward, wanting to throw up as a trickle of blood rushed from the neck onto my forearm. It was cool blood, not something that I had felt before... or ever wanted to feel again. I continued to walk until we were out of the church and then I swore to myself. My fingerprints were on the fucking body! I couldn't turn back now! Behind the wreck of a church was an alleyway. I followed his lead back there, and, as he had said, deposited the body down into a near-by dumpster.
I tried to brush the drying blood from my clothes with an eternal grimace imprinted into my face.
This was the first time I got to look at him in some light, even if it was the light of the outside streetlights. He was wearing all black, not that I expected anything much different. His pants were black slacks, and under he had a tank top. He had grabbed the cloak, which I saw now to be a trench coat, and pulled that over his arms. His feet were clad in a pair of leather army boots. Everything was so simple, but his looks could kill...
In more way than one...
"So what is it that you wanted to know?"
"First, if you are a vampire... how could you go in that church?" Sure... it wasn't the most important question, but I still wanted to know. And if I started a friendly conversation then I could slip something else in here...
"It wasn't much of a church. All the crosses were broken. She thought she could claim sanctuary in there, but what good is a Church of God when God has forsaken the church?"
Well, that made sense.
"How the hell do you know my name!?" That came out a little more bitter than what I wanted it to be, but oh well. If he wasn't going to kill me to begin with, I doubted he would now.
"I know a lot more about you than your name. I know things that even you yourself have yet to realize." His lips quirked into a sadistic grin.
I shuttered. How the hell could he just say that!?
"What are you talking about!?" I demanded sharply, taking a step forward. He grabbed my arms and captured my lips in a deep kiss, I could still taste the metallic filling of that woman's blood lingering in his mouth and now into mine... My brain completely shut down. What could I do...?
He pulled away a second later, and his lips worked down to my neck as I was rendered immobile. "I've known you... very intimately... every time you've been reborn onto this planet." His tongue flicked across my neck and I then realized just how close I was to death. I pushed him away abruptly, and he didn't bother holding on.
I stood there, slightly hunched over and panting. In his eyes dwelt amusement.
Amusement over my reaction...
Amusement over me in general.
But I wasn't very amused in the least...
I watched him as he approached me again, "Sanosuke, you know that you want me, why resist? You never have won before."
Something deep inside me told me that he was right... but I didn't understand why... God, I did want him... but could I just... do this so easily...?
Nothing made sense to me...
My knees gave in, and his arms wrapped around me as I fell. His nose brushed up against my neck and I shivered at the contact.
"I'm not going to loose you again." His words were so coarse. I didn't know what to do... "Just relax." He whispered to me, tongue massaging along my neck. "This will only hurt for a second..."
Wait...
Was he going to...?
No! Stop!!
No matter how much I cried it out in my mind, my throat was paralyzed and nothing came out...
Not a word...
Not a scream...
Only heavy panting...
And my throat formed three foreign words that I've never though of saying in my life. I didn't even want to say them now, even though the words were out of my mouth.
"Do it, Jime..."
