"Vincent, what's a level e vampire?" I asked. Me and my new guardian had left my village just in time when more of those beasts came. But they never came near us, it seemed like they were afraid to come even a foot near Vincent. But you could tell they wanted me.
"Level e vampires are vampires who have lost their sanity and human half of their minds," he replied. He had picked me up and placed me on his back, making sure I wouldn't cut my bare feet.
"Then what kind of vampire are you?"
"Me, I'm what you call a pure blood vampire."
"A pure blood vampire?"
"Pure blood vampires are the strongest vampires and there are only a handful of them in the world. So far there are only three or four of them, but I think one or two of them has lost their sanity and is making a vampire army."
"Oh. If I get bitten by a vampire, will I turn into a vampire?"
He chuckled at my wide curious eyes, looking back at me to smile. "Of course not. Only a pure blooded vampire can do that. I would never bite you, even if I was starving, my dear little one."
I blush and hide my face in his cape's collar. "Are there any good vampires out there?"
"Of course. I'm taking you to meet them. There's a whole school of them; and humans. They live at my castle. Any village that gets attacked by those monsters, I take them in and give them a home. It seems like I've been getting more visitors each week."
"Other villages have been attacked too?"
"Yes. And not just villages, but cities and towns too. I give a home to the needy and away from those level e beasts. And the vampires who still have their sanity, I keep at my castle in Kalm."
"Kalm?! Isn't that place creeping with vampires?"
"Oh yes, but none of would dare lay a finger on any of those humans unless they want to deal with me," he smirked, making me shiver. "Cid."
"Yes?"
"From this day forward, I'm gonna turn you into the most legendary vampire hunter on earth."
I jolt awake from my dream, panting. I suddenly chuckle from the dream of a past memory. "The most legendary vampire hunter huh?" I smirk. That had been twenty-two years ago. And sure enough, from this day, Vince had made sure to make me the strongest vampire hunter in the world. He had been brutal. But that was good, right?
Anyways, that pure blooded vampire had never left my side ever since we meet. He even said that he felt some interest in me. Whatever, as long as he never leaves me, everything will be ok. But, for some reason, I've been feeling some kind of ache in my chest. Must be heart burn.
I get up and look at myself in the mirror. My blond hair had gotten lighter and bright blues had gotten darker, putting more color to it. I had stubs for a beard and my skin was slightly tan. Unlike Vince's pearly white skin. I was muscled and had a six pack. And I'm certainly tall, taller then Vincent. I smirked at remembering the vampire's face when he saw that I surpassed him.
Lately, I've been wandering if I should ask Vince to make me into a vampire. I don't care if I have to look out for my sanity; I just want to live the rest of my life with Vincent. He's beautiful in every way. From his monotone voice to his pale skin. His crimson eyes looked like the blood of a hundred souls and his raven black hair looked like they were sowed together by angles.
I've always wanted to run my fingers through his hair, just to have a feel of it. I wanted to touch his skin, to see if it felt like smooth pearl. I wanted to taste that skin. I wanted to-
Whoa! What the heck am I thinking?! I'm not gay! I'm into women! Women!
But (sigh), he's almost as beautiful as a girl. His girlish hips, his curvy figure, and those rosy lips and eyelashes. I wouldn't mind having a taste of that.
I slap myself across the face. "I can't believe I'm actually thinking of Vincent that way!" I tug at my hair and groan.
"Think of whom in what way?"
I jumped and spun on my heel to see Vincent standing behind me. I smile at him, trying not to laugh at his bed head. He must have just woken up.
"Oh nothing, Vince. Just thinking out loud to myself," I chuckle nervously, rubbing the back of my head. "Did you just get up?"
"Yes. I stayed up late this morning trying to keep everything under control. I'm thinking about going back to bed when I'm done having my fill," he replied through a yawn, stretching.
I frown. "Vince, you haven't been getting enough sleep lately because of all this hectic war going around. You need to loosen up and let someone else take control for a while. You need sleep."
He smiled gently up at me and leaned his head against my chest. Blood rushed towards my face, making my flush pink. "Thank you Cid, I knew you could do it."
My eyes widen. "Say what?" I looked down to his eyes closed.
"I need sleep like you said and you're the only person I trust with these kind of decisions. You can do it, can you?" He opened his eyes and looked at me.
"(gulp) Of course."
"Thank you."
He suddenly plopped down onto my bed, falling instantly asleep. I sigh and got dressed, glancing back every once in a while to make sure that the vampire was still asleep. I sigh in relief when I saw that he was.
After I finished getting dressed, I walked out of my room in the loft and climb down the ladder and several stairs. Moonlight shined through the small stone windows as I climbed down the spiraled stairs of the left hand tower. That's where I slept most of the time and that's my favorite spot.
It also seemed like Vincent's too.
I sighed once more as I passed several other vampires in a lip lock, one with blond hair and one with brunette. I growled to gather attention, which automatically worked since they had pulled apart. When they saw that it was me, they jumped away from each other like they were on fire.
"Cloud, Leon," I started with a frown, "you know sexual activities are not aloud in public. If you have to get off those sexual urges, you should get a room. But as of right now, you two should be in class right now." My lips twitched upward, trying to keep my face stern.
The two boys caught it my twitched and smiled. I growled to make look scary. But it obviously wasn't working as the two boys started to chuckle. I sighed, letting down my act and smiling myself.
"You boys better head to class before I call the warden. And I know you two don't want that. Although, Vince seems to be asleep right now, so I guess you guys are free to go. Just don't be too loud," I whispered the last part.
The boys blushed but whispered a thanks and ran down the hallway towards the vampire section of the castle. I shook my head and chuckled, continuing to walk towards my destination.
Several other vampires passed by me down the hallways, smiling and waving at me. I waved back. Ever since I came to this castle, I've really liked these species even though they were the ones who killed my family.
Well, what can I say? They've been my family for the most of my life so I have no reason to not like them. Unless, of course, they were level e. The world has been taken by vampires that it wasn't even safe to even step out of the castle's boundary unless you were a vampire.
But they do fear me though, since I've been trained by Vincent Valentine. The number one feared vampire. And since I was a strong and legendary vampire hunter, I was feared by all. Humans and vampires.
But I don't mind as long as have peace and quiet. I sighed for what seemed like the thousandth time today. I walked into Vince's office and sat down at his desk. Oh how I loved this office. It seemed perfect for Vincent.
The walls were painted crimson and the desk was black chestnut. The curtains were black silk and the carpet was a dark, dark red. There was a small bed in the corner if the vampire was to work all night and only get to sleep during the night.
I've never understood why vampires hate sunlight, but… I think I feel the same about the light. Ever since I met these vampires, it feels like I've been turning into one slowly.
The sun was bright and too hot. The night was dark and peaceful, giving me the sensation that I belong to the darkness. But I had to be on guard, if I get too lost in the darkness, I might loose my mind. I might turn into a monster. Like my… brother did.
I frown at the thought of my brother. He had lost himself in the darkness, turning into a bloodthirsty beast; killing everything in its past. He was neither a vampire nor human. He was a beast of the night that would hunger for flesh and meat.
He got so crazy that I finally pulled the trigger on him; Vincent watched.
I remember when he and I had found him in another town, slowly loosing his mind. We picked him up and took him with us to our new home. He didn't say anything, except for 'he's coming for us, he's coming for us', until he had lost it.
He tore at his skin, making him bleed and the vampires come running. What they saw made their stomach turn. They wanted nothing to do with; knowing they would go crazy themselves. But then…
He striked and killed his first vampire. The feel of skin and blood between his nails made him craze for more. And so he did more. He attacked humans and vampires and other beasts. But no matter what he did, nothing seemed to satisfy him.
That is, until he found me. I had hesitated.
I shook as I looked onto the bloody face of my brother. His face was covered in blood as a maniac smile spread across his face. His hair was tangled and covered in things I didn't want to know. The monster in front of me was covered in cuts and scratches that he caused himself.
I held up my gun that Vincent had given me and pointed it at him. This only made him grin bigger, making my skin crawl. My hands shook with fear as he crawled closer, his breath rigged and hoarse.
"Don't you want to play with me brother like we used to?" His voice chilled me to the bone as he came closer and closer. He reached a hand towards me. "Won't you play with me?"
I gulped and took in a shaky breath. "You can go to hell you son of bitch!" I tried to stop shaking as he frowned at my answer. I looked to my left to see Vincent standing there. He nodded for me to continue.
"Aw, I thought you were my brother?" The monster hissed.
"No, my brother is not a monster like you. I want my brother back!"
"Well he ain't coming back, for he is forever lost in the darkness!" With that, he lunged towards me; claws reaching for me.
I closed my eyes and pulled the trigger. The power of it made me stumble back and fall on my ass. The next thing I knew, I was staring at the corpse of my brother. My brother… was gone.
I burst into tears and let the vampire wrap his arms around me. That was my first kill. I never thought that it would have been my brother. I never thought that… Vincent would just watch as my brother went crazy.
I cried and screamed until I fell unconscious. I let the darkness overtake me, letting it come with open arms. I wanted to forget.
I wanted…
What do I want? What is it that I want out of this life? Love? The war to be over? For me to become a vampire? What do I want?
I let out a quiet sob and leaned my head against my hands, my elbows on the table. Why should I be remembering that? It was 17 years ago and should be long gone. It should be gone from my mind and locked away in the darkness of my mind.
I whipped the tears from my eyes as I heard footsteps coming towards the door. I sat up straight and took out a stack of papers to make it look like I was working on something.
Knock. Knock. Knock.
"Come in," I mumbled loud enough for the person to hear on the other side of the door. The door opened and a silver haired man came in. His green eyes shone with fright. "Is something wrong, Yazoo?"
"They're here. They've come for us. They're gonna kill us all," the boy mumbled, shakily walking towards me. I got up and started towards him.
I knew what was going on. He was starting to lose his sanity and was about to go crazy like my brother had done. "Yazoo, you need to relax." I took a step forward but stopped when he suddenly pulled out a gun. "Whoa, hey. I'm just trying to help."
"They'll kill us all until you're dead. You need to be our sacrifice. You need to die."
"Yazoo, put the gun down and we'll get this all straightened out." I needed to stop before he goes insane. A human loosing his sanity is bad enough. But a vampire, that's just looking for trouble. "Yazoo, hand me the gun and we'll get this all straightened out."
"We need a sacrifice. And you will be our sacrifice," the boy mumbled, blood trickling down his chin from his mouth.
Great, the first sign. I need to stop this now before everything gets out of control. I take a step backwards as he takes a step forward. Step after step, I find myself behind the desk again. I reached over and slowly opened the top desk drawer, reaching in to pull out the small gun that hid in it.
"Listen, Yazoo, just put the gun down before you kill somebody."
"We need a sacrifice." His finger pulled back the trigger.
"No!"
Bang!
Cut off! Man, I was hiccupping the whole time I was typing this. I tried to make it as creepy as I can without scaring myself out. I hate scary things and yet, here I am typing down a creepy story.
