"Hello, Is anyone in here?" A man called out towards the cave Marco was sitting in.

Marco didn't say a word as he heard the footsteps outside grow closer towards him, his heart was beating incredibly fast and his head began to ache as an echo tore through his mind.

'HUNGGGGGGGRRRRY' The voice screamed out causing pain to Marco, 'I can smell it' a smaller whisper of a voice followed behind the echo making the situation worse.

"What. Do. You. Want" marco spatted out trying to push through the pain only to be forced on his knees.

'To extinguish this painful burning hunger with the blood of the one who foolishly walks alone in the woods'

"Hey kid in the cave, are you ok?" the man asked as his figure began to grow slowly towards Marco but he was still far enough to where he couldn't get a good look at him, his voice echoing with assistance from the cave Marco was staying in.

Marco was hunched over holding his stomach as his head continued to ache and his eye were beginning to water.

'Feed us... hungrrrrrry... we need blood' the voice egging Marco on as it had showed his body would not take his defiance any longer and punishment of the hunger was effecting him far too much.

"I don't want to hurt people" Marco cried out as he started taking deep breaths to contain himself. He felt a hand touch his shoulder in a comforting manner, it was the man as he looked at Marco with confusion. "Please this man... is an innocent"

'THERE ARE NO INNOCENCE!, Not in their world and certainly not in ours. They are nothing to you and me. But. Food.'

"They... are nothing... but food" Marco said in a hushed whimper, as the pain started to show itself in his body by his veins showing throughout his skin pulsing in anguish. "Just end the pain... please, I'll do anything just make it stop."

'That is simple and all you have to do ...is feast'

Marco looked up at the man who had come to see if he was ok and looked him in his eyes, seeing worry and fear for the young man infront of him. The man's mouth was moving as he spoked to Marco but he couldn't hear the man to the ringing in his ears and the voices yelling.

"I'm... I'm so very sorry, I'm just so hungry, please forgive me for what I have to do." With those words and tears in his eyes Marco pounced on the man and held him down, his mouth drooling in anticipation for the next action. Marco having enough of the insanity and the pain bite down on the man's neck, and began draining him of his blood.

Marco could feel the man's heartbeat begin to slow down, but he couldn't stop draining the man before him. The pain he was feeling, the voices in his head had been silenced and he could feel the power that came from his feeding. Marco tightened his grip around the man digging his teeth further into the side of the man's neck, the sensation had a hold on Marco but sadly was dwindling far to quickly to satisfy him.

Feeling the man's heart come to a complete stop Marco gasping from the satiating experience released the corpse in his arms and tightened his hands into fists, "I...Need...More." An echo in his voice showing he was no longer in control.

'I just told you the solution' the voice had returned, it was more feminine and divine in sound you could hear the devilish intent it had for those that could hear her and yet it gave Marco such a motivated feeling.

Marco looked at the man in his arms, the he had killed in his hungry and lack control, focusing on his bloodstained hands and back towards the corpse.

He closed his eyes and leaned down hovering over the body, the warmness loosing itself by the seconds. Marco closed his eyes as a single tear feel down, "please end this hungry... end this pain... and for what it's worth... I'm sorry" and with those final words said Marco bite into the man's arm with loud snaps coming from the bone.

In that one moment of a single bite, Marco eyes opened slowly as a wave of easing pleasure washed over him, a warm wetness of crimson red from his eyes trailed down his cheek and feel onto the ground.

"It tastes... delicious" he said taking more bites out of the corpse, ripping open the man's stomach and devoured his entrails.

'You are far better than those who serve false rulers, you are the only one left who can partake of not only in blood, but the body as well.'

"Who... who are you?"

With Star

Star was currently sitting in her room, she was staring out the window looking towards the magical barrier that kept the forest of certain death and her kingdom separate from each other. She sighed in desperation, wanting to go pass the barrier and explore the dangerous land of monsters and beasts that roamed so freely.

She looked over towards the edge of her bed where her friend Tom the prince of the underworld was reading a book his parents gave him before they journeyed to her home.

"Tom you said you wanted to talk about the meeting we had about the vampire" star said getting his attention on her.

"Yeah, well... ok starship I have to ask, how much do you really know about vampires?"

"I only know as much as my parents have told me, like how the war was started by to defected vampires with an illness that spread through most other vampires, and any that weren't infected served under yours and my family. "

" Exactly and the rest of the people and kingdoms believe that the war wiped all the vampires and even werewolves out. "

" Tom what's your point"

" I'm saying that if the only other vampires alive serve us and wouldn't dare betray the two families that saved them and that power... it was enough to alert everyone and thing in Mewni then it MUST be a vampire with a alot of power, like the previous vampire king.

" But those things don't exist, only one vampire had a chance to become a king of vampires and most vampires didn't allow it due to fear of monarchs and he died, the warriors at the time confirmed it."

" That's true but many vampires escaped because he held the army back for so long, the records say he fought for eight hours straight with all our forces focused on only him"

" The records said that but you know that only the head of our families know the real events, let's be honest our mothers are the only ones who know what the vampire king was capable of."

"So what are you saying" Star looked at Tom with worry and curiosity.

" I think... Star I think it's either we missed some vampires or one of the vampires under our control is to blame."

" But they wouldn't do that, they need our families to provide blood for them so why betray us"

" Maybe they know something we don't... the blood moon is returning soon."

" How much time do we have?"

"Two weeks, we have two weeks to confirm anything, on the night of the blood moon I'll be hosting a ball... and I'd like you to come with me."

" Yes"

Back with Marco

"Who are you?" Marco yelled loudly, he stopped as his bones popped and crunched as his flesh shifted around his body, his eyes holding their vampiric star as red glowing tentacles emerged from Marco's back crashed around wildly before evaporating.

Blood stained tears feel from Marco eyes as he breathed heavily trying to regain his breath.

'You are ready, now... let's find you... some pets.'
