Gabriel sat with his brother, Lucian, and the Prince, Mikhail Dubrinsky on the couch while Tyler stared all three of them with tenseness. He knew that they wouldn't kill him yet, but it was still nerve racking to be in the presence of them. Francesca, Joseph, Brook, and Skyler were all at the hospital. Gabriel sent them away for the time being until they could get more information from Tyler.
"Tyler, your going to have to tell us about the organization and the vampire." He snapped his head to the direction of the voice was coming. It was Gabriel, the only one he would talk to for the time being. He didn't answer right away.
"You better not tell them anything. I can kill you right now if I wanted too." The vampire threatened.
"Go ahead, I'd rather be dead than serve you any longer." Tyler scolded. There was no response from the voice, only an angered silence.
"Tyler?" Gabriel called. He averted his eyes to Gabriel again.
"The organization is located-" he was interrupted by howling scream in his head. He screamed in agony, clutching his head and falling to the ground. Gabriel went by his side immediately, but Tyler got up as soon as he fell to the ground.
"I'm fine. Clyde really doesn't want me too say anything." He attempted to make it into a joke, but none of them laughed. He sat back down, putting his hands over his face in stress. He knew he might die while doing this, but it might be the only way out.
"I first came into the organization when I was 15 while I was living with a guy named Brian McKrain. " He started, they all were listening intently. He studied all three of them. Lucian and Gabriel were twins, who all had power clinging to them like second skin. The third one, Prince Mikhail who also had power clinging to him had an air of more authority around him than the other two. All three had perfect features, and built the same. He wondered how he could ever mistake them as evil like Clyde was.
Continuing, he said, "Brian brought me in and had tests done on me of all kinds. Brain tests, physical tests, blood tests, and even had me take an exam to see what my intelligence level was. It was obviously pretty high because I was instantly brought in, and also because I was psychic."
"You're a psychic?" Lucian asked with furrowed brows.
"Yes, I am. But I don't pay attention to my visions, they just wreak havoc." He answered simply. They told him to proceed with his story and he did. "Anyways, after month I was in the organization, I was sent to meet this guy named Clyde." He smiled slightly for a second, then said, "That was the worst mistake of my life. Anyways, I went to the room that they sent me too and I saw him. He resembled you guys a bit but my senses instantly told me that there was something about him that was way off." He told them his story while the memory played in his head…..
Tyler walked into the room where Clyde Minstrolo was too meet him. The room was plain white walls with a wide silver, metal table that sat in the middle of the room. Chairs were set around the table for seating.
A tall, dark man stood, facing a wall studying something that wasn't there. "Sir, you wanted to see me?…" Tyler said hesitantly. Clyde turned and smiled. Tyler was shocked at his beauty. He never observed guys but it was hard not to notice his perfections. He had black hair that was spread around his wide shoulders, eyes that were onyx, surrounded by thick lashes and above were shapely eyebrows. His high cheekbones were only complemented his dark eyes. His nose was perfectly sculpted, below were lips that were also perfect along with a strong chin. He was intimidating and tall, with a very muscular build to him.
"Yes, Tyler. I did." His voice sounded hollow but yet had something that rang underneath his tone…something musical. "Come sit." He gestured to a chair a few feet from him. He walked over and sat, slouched with his ankles crossed. It was good to appear cool, and nonchalant.
"What did you need me for?" He asked, eyeing him.
"Just another test, that's all." He said with a secret twist in his tone. Tyler's blue eyes narrowed in suspicion, then said, "I thought I completed all the tests that were required of me to take?"
"I did, but I always give one more test personally to my people." Clyde inquired, smiling a smile that was somehow terrifying to Tyler. He scooted his chair back a few feet in fright.
"Well, let's this get this test over with." Tyler snapped, standing up. He wasn't going to show fear to him, no matter what. Clyde laughed deep in his throat, saying, "You're going to be a defiant one, I can tell. Sit down and take my hands." Tyler reluctantly did as he was instructed. He put his hands in Clyde's, palms down while Clyde's were facing up.
"Good, now look into my eyes." Clyde said, a smile not reaching his eyes. Tyler looked into his eyes and saw deep black pools that you could drown in.
"Look deep, Tyler." Clyde instructed softly. Tyler searched his eyes more and found nothing but black.
"I see nothing." Tyler whispered. "Exactly." Clyde said. Then instantly, the screne changed into an alley. His eyes widened, realization dawning on him.
"Where am I?" He asked, shocked. "You know where you are." Clyde responded. "You will know what happened in the alley." He added. "No." Tyler said, under his breath, barely unable to speak.
The memory began to play. He saw his mother open a door and shoved him into the dirty room, then ran over to her husband.
"Is he safe?" His father asked, while holding a dirty, rusted bar. His mother nodded in response, looking down the long alley at the disfigured sight.
"What is that thing?" His mother asked in fear.
"A vampire. Clyde." He responded softly, looking back at her with sadness.
"You told me that you weren't going back there." She yelled in disbelief.
"Not now. I ran and he found me. We have fight to get away from this guy." He retorted with anger. She nodded and said, "Fine."
Clyde came forward laughing evilly, saying, "Sorry, but I will be the last sight you see." Before they could respond, he rushed forward with supernatural speed and ripped his father's throat out with a sickening sound. He was dead before he fell to the ground with a thud. His mother screamed at the sight and began to run to where Tyler was to grab him. Clyde grabbed her by the back of her head and jerked her to him.
"Now where do you think your going missy?" He questioned sadistically. She began breathing heavy. "Let me go!" She said defiantly, gripping his hand to ease the sharpening pain in her head.
"Now, why would I do that?" He playfully asked. Before she could answer, he ripped into her throat. She screamed in agony but the sound soon died down when she was dead. He dropped her to the ground carelessly at his feet with his eyes glowing red.
The memory ended and he was pulled out of the memory feeling shocked and numb.
"W-why did you show me that?" he whispered, his throat croaked. Clyde laughed deep in his throat again, "Why, only to break you of course. This is what all my people have to go through to pass." He responded with a twisted, happy smile on his perfect face.
"Y-you killed my parents." He said, barely above a whisper. He stared blankly at him for a moment. Then out of nowhere, he jumped over the table with his arms out; muscles showing. He aimed at his throat but wasn't even close to reaching the vampire's being. In an instant, he found himself lifted off the ground with Clyde's hands around his neck. He gasped for air.
"What are you, just plain stupid? You will never kill me. I'm too powerful for a mere psychic mortal." He laughed, his face close to Tyler's. Tyler narrowed his eyes, conjuring up as much hate as he could through his blue eyes inside him. He didn't say anything, just stared at him in hate.
"You're a special one to me." He informed sadistically. He set him down on the ground, his strong hand still around his neck. Tyler was horrified at what would come next, but hid his fear that was stabbing him in the pit of his stomach.
"What are you going to do?" Tyler hissed. Clyde just laughed then bent Tyler's head to one side. "No!" He bellowed, struggling in his grasp. Clyde continued to laugh while he bent his head slowly to his throat. His teeth pierced his throat, striking pain entering his system. He still struggled immensely while Clyde drank his fill. He entered his mind, laughing in his own twisted way, then swept his tongue across the pricks he made. He let go of him, letting him fall to the ground clasping his throat and coughing.
"You fucking sick bastard." He condemned, looking at him with even more convicted hate at him. Clyde laughed at the insult as if it didn't mean anything.
"You're mine now, connected to me through the blood I took." He informed him, smiling that horrifying smile.
"Are all your people connected to you like this?" Tyler asked in a low tone. Anger was surging through him. He wanted nothing more than to kill him, but couldn't because he was weak and he knew that he could never win against him in a physical match.
"Some are, but your more connected to me than anyone else. Don't worry, I didn't poison you or anything. I could if I wanted too but I didn't. But my DNA is inside you from when my fangs punctured your neck." He answered simply. Tyler glared at him.
"But know this," He bent down towards him closely, taking his face in his strong hands. "I will know everything you do, and say. I will be inside your head 24/7." He informed him, looking into his eyes, penetrating them. Tyler continued to glare at him, not saying anything.
"You will soon break and die. Though I wonder how long that will take?" He wondered with a lilt of his head. Clyde bent into his ear, whispered, "You've just entered yourself into hell. Welcome, Tyler." He got up and walked out of the room, laughing, leaving Tyler alone, sitting on the cold ground that was setting deep into his bones.
The story ended along with the painful memory that was etched deep into his mind. The three Carpathian sighed after Tyler's story ended.
"He took your blood, no wonder he can manipulate you." Gabriel said obviously.
"Just kill him, do whatever you guys do and kill him. Or better yet, kill me to put me out of my misery." Tyler said desperately. He wondered how he put up with his torment for three years of his life.
Gabriel explained softly, "Tyler, we are not going to kill you. It's not your fault for what happened to you." Tyler looked up with narrowed eyes.
"Even after what I've done in that damn organization?" He asked rhetorically, angry. "You've crossed those people, and know what they do. How could you not kill me for what I've done?" He asked.
"What have you done?" Mikhail asked, staring. Tyler was hesitant to answer with the way Mikhail was looking at him in a weird way.
"I've…killed Carpathians, but never the females. If it came to them, I would always find a way around that and leave. I even helped one escape." He answered with a bit of sadness. They all narrowed their eyes in questions.
"Your mind is blocked somehow, we can't find a way into it or else we would know your memories." Lucian explained. "I know." Tyler said.
"You must have received serious punishment for doing that?…" Mikhail said. Tyler shrugged.
"Do you know where Clyde is?" Gabriel asked, changing the subject. Tyler paused when he heard evil laughter in his mind.
"Boy, you have no idea what you have gotten yourself into." Clyde laughed.
"I honestly don't care what I've gotten myself into, I just want you dead." He laughed at his response.
"Yes, I do." Tyler answered. Again, Clyde laughed. Tyler never heard another word from him.
"I can show you where the organization is, what they do, and who they are." Tyler added. They all smiled at him. He wondered why but didn't ask. They weren't going to kill him….yet. That's good.
"We have to get more Carpathian hunters in on this to defeat Clyde. I'll call them up and tell them." Mikhail announced. Lucian and Gabriel agreed at the plan.
Just than, Francesca, Skyler, Brook, and Joseph walked in. They all looked over at the them.
"So, how is everything?" Skyler asked out of the blue. They all laughed at the random question. She could always make people smile when the moment was down. Tyler got up and smiled at Brook then looked back at everyone.
"I'm going to get some air." He announced to the room. "I'll come." Brook stepped beside him.
"Stay here with them." Tyler objected softly. Brook narrowed her brows in confusion.
"Why?" She asked. "I'm to dangerous to be around right now. The last thing I want is for you to get hurt." He informed, his tone low and soft. She hesitantly agreed while Tyler went outside.
"Is he going to be ok?" She asked with worry. "He'll be fine." Gabriel answered.
"I have to go talk to him." Brook said grabbing her jacket, leaving. No one stopped her as she went out.
Tyler:
Tyler stepped outside, walked down the one step. He began walking down the sidewalk, thoughts racing through his mind. His head was down, looking at his feet.
He turned the corner, still thinking. "Hello Tyler." A voice said that he recognized all to well. He looked up and glared daggers at him.
"What do you want?" He snapped, stepping forward. Clyde laughed.
"You still got that spit of fire in you. Looks like I haven't broken you down after three years." He said with intrigue.
Tyler howled a laugh at him, then said, "Trust me, Clyde. You have drove my mind to the point of insanity. But these people will kill you. They might kill me to but at least the world be rid of a pathetic worthless creature like you." Clyde glided the rest of the distance between them.
"They won't kill you before I do." Clyde promised.
"Tyler?" Brook called. Tyler looked back while Clyde looked up. Tyler's eyes widened.
"Brook, what are you doing out here?" Tyler asked, shocked with worry. Clyde smiled happily at the interruption.
"I had to talk to you." She answered, confused. "We can't talk right now, get out of here." Tyler snapped out of worry. Clyde jerked Tyler's head his way and looked into his blue eyes, then smiled wider.
"You have deep affections for this girl." He observed with amusement, then looked at Brook.
"Come here, girl." Clyde ordered, holding out his hand.
Brook:
Brook looked at the creature a few feet away from her. He resembled Devin in more ways than one. The hand held out sent a flashback….
"I'm Devin." He answered. "Come here, young one." He ordered gently, probing her mind to force her to listen.
He held out his hand for her take. She studied his large hand than his appearance. He was tall with black hair and dark eyes that held nothing at all. It creeped her out a bit but his face held beauty. His face looked like it was carved from perfection.
She looked into his eyes and saw amusement, but underneath was nothing and darkness. "Devin, he's back." She thought with fear.
"Brook, get back in the house." Tyler ordered harshly.
"Gabriel, Devin's back." She sent the thought to Gabriel in fear.
"No use in doing that. I'm blocking your mind from them." He sent into her mind.
"Come here Brook." Clyde ordered. She nodded and went to turn but found that she couldn't move her feet. She shook her head again.
"Don't you dare go near her." Tyler threatened. Clyde laughed, then said, "What are you going to do? You'll be dead before you intervene, and won't be able to stop me." He said, then bent down and tore into his neck. He struggled, screaming, "Nooo!"
"Gabriel, he's killing Tyler. Help him!" She thought in panic.
"Don't worry little girl, your next." He laughed inside her head sadistically. Tears were beginning to form in her eyes. No, not this again. She won't be stuck with another creature like this one.
Clyde was still tearing into Tyler's neck, then threw him aside into the brick wall.
"Gabriel!" She screamed as Clyde walked closer to her. He closed his hand over her mouth.
"We don't want to do that, now do we?" He said, playfully. Brook brought her hand up to the vampires arm and scorched it. He hissed, than his face turned to amusement.
"You're a unique one." He said, intrigued by the girls gift.
"Get away from me." She yelled.
"Gabriel!" She screamed inside her head. Was he coming?
Tyler rolled around on the ground in pain, then slouched up and grabbed a knife from his boot, then stood up. He concentrated on the vampires middle back, pulling his arm back and flinging it at the vampire. It stuck right in the middle. But it didn't seem to affect him in any way. Clyde turned around, reaching to his back and pulling the knife out.
"I told you it takes more than that to kill me." He assured him, than flung the knife into Tyler's shoulder. He fell to the ground with a yell.
"Let's go my dear." Clyde said looking down at Brook. Brook's green eyes widened in fear, while Clyde shot up into the air with Brook in his arms, taking her to another destination.
In the house:
"Something's wrong." Skyler announced.
"What do you mean?" Francesca asked, almost in alarm.
"Tyler, he's hurt." Skyler said, going to the door, opening it. They all followed her out and around the corner. They saw Tyler on the ground, neck tore up and a knife in his shoulder.
"What happened?" Francesca asked running by his side.
"He's…got…Brook" He croaked. He rolled more on the ground repeating Brook's name.
