Chapter Five: Competition
"Time went fast, yet it was a long 213 years that I was changed. I would have been dead, but I'm a vampire, someone who drinks the life of humans and lives immortal."
A few nights after the news of Kai leaving Black Rose and Japan, everything went chaotic.
The relationship between Black Rose and Blood Trillium was ripped apart, and they have become more intense than ever before. Major conflicts happened between the two clans, as there were fights that lead to blood, and death.
It would have leave to a blood-thirsty war, if it weren't for Morganna. She was a peacekeeper between the two clans, although she belongs to Black Rose, but manages to get Voltaire and Boris to discuss the treaty that we would be at peace. Some of the conditions included that both clans had a territory, so no one would dare to intrude the area.
Everything was at peace, although still intense…
Then seventeen years later, the leader of the whole female vampires was dead. It was to believe she was mysteriously disappeared before she died. And it was hell for the female vampires for seven years. The male vampires treat them like their nothing, useless.
By the seventh year, Morganna was first mated to Voltaire, and then afterwards became the new leader for the females. And the nasty treatments from the males almost faded away.
It was a bumpy ride for everyone, especially for Brooklyn, seeing and experiencing the before and after of the turmoil between the two clans.
Brooklyn has seen Japan change during the many years that he finished as a toddler. Which then he became an adolescent by fifty-one years old, with that he was allow to drink animal blood, and compete in competitions that Blood Trillium throws.
After turning a hundred-and-one, he was then a young adult. For a young adult, he can leave the clan if interested, fight who they like and when they like, change a human, mate, and can drink simple liquids like water, alcohol, tea, coffee, and soda. His job as a young adult is to teach vampires to spy and learn defense.
Over the years, Brooklyn befriends a vampire named Garland, who was changed twenty-four years after Brooklyn. It was that after a few months of knowing each other they were close friends and like brothers.
Along the many years, Japan had many changes from having electricity, to World War II, and so much…
And now to the present time…
1989 – 182 years later, in Tokyo… (213 years, after Brooklyn was changed)
Brooklyn walked along the streets of Tokyo, as it became the capital city of Japan for a long time now.
Many people were out for the night to go to parties, clubs, bars and just chilling out either warm or cold outside.
Today it was cold, as it was winter here in Japan. There was snow on the ground after a snow fall during the day, from what people heard from the weather report in televisions, radios and newspapers.
Brooklyn was heading to a dance club, as he was going to hang out with Garland and some other vampires that he knows in Blood Trillium.
They doing this since they had a night off of doing their duties, and some believe that it was to help Brooklyn out. Apparently, Brooklyn was in a depress mood, as he felt bored out of his life.
Brooklyn continued as he saw some people walk by him, and looking at the opposite side of the street he saw a couple talking and laughing, and afterwards the guy kiss her cheeks and she flushed.
He thought that maybe lately he was looking for someone to like and understand how he felt, but shrugged it off of that thought.
Passing by an antique shop he stops for a minute to look at some of the objects, that look old to some people, and yet some that look new. It was then he saw a mirror, with a gold frame, and standing for people to see behind the window case.
Brooklyn to a peak at the mirror, but it was the same as always ever since he became a young adult, his reflection wasn't there.
He learned that when you are a fledgling and toddler, you have your reflection. By the time you reach adolescent and as you age over the years, your reflection will be blurry. And once you hit a hundred-and-one and become young adult, it will be all gone.
Brooklyn sigh, as he then started walking again and going where he was supposed to go, the dance club.
"This is relaxing, all of us out and hanging out, no chores, no training, and nobody to tell us what to do," said Garland as he drinks his soda.
The dance club was very busy because it was a Saturday night, and a lot of teens would be here to party till the club closes, and find somewhere else to party in the night.
The music was booming loudly, and everyone dance, drink soda or alcohol, and socializing. The lights in the club flashed in many colors making it look interesting for everyone in it.
"Indeed it is," said Crusher.
Brooklyn just hadn't drunk much of his drink, as he was staring around to see many doing what they would do at a dance club.
This wasn't much helping him out, at all…
Crusher got Garland to see Brooklyn at his state, and Garland thought of something, that he nearly forgot.
"Hey, did you guys know that Boris is throwing a competition, but it's not going to be the same?" Garland began.
Brooklyn stares at Garland waiting to hear what he had to say.
"You see, Blood Trillium doesn't have an heir chosen yet, and so Boris said the winner of the competition is going to become the next heir of Blood Trillium."
This had gotten Brooklyn's interest, it had been a while that he did any competitions since helping out other vampires to learn to spy and train defense. So, what is he waiting for?
"When is it happening?" Brooklyn asked.
Garland forgot about that detail… But Crusher got to answer it.
"I heard it's going to happen three days from now," he answered.
"I'm in."
Then, Brooklyn saw a light-brown haired teen, which was smiling and waving at him in a flirty way.
"As soon as I done with a prey," with that he moved away from Garland and Crusher to go to her.
Garland and Crusher saw Brooklyn and the female teen talking for a bit, before she began feeling comfortable around Brooklyn.
That was Brooklyn style when hunting. He would get the prey comfortable to be around him, to the point that they want more from him. So, forth that Brooklyn would leave some kisses before going to the neck and drinking their life away.
Soon, the female stood up, and Brooklyn wraps his arm around her heading out of the dance club, and somewhere where he can go in for the blood with no one else to witness it.
The competition was three days away as Crusher had said, and many male vampires were training and practicing for this event as the winner in the competition would be claim as the next heir of Blood Trillium.
Brooklyn practice for the competition with Garland as they were going to be in it.
They mainly practice with sorts or weapons from swords to whips, and staff, offense, defense and dodging, but today they did with staffs.
Garland was in offense striking Brooklyn using the staff, and Brooklyn blocking and dodging every strike Garland gave.
One strike that Garland did, Brooklyn blocks it but grab his, as he flipped Garland, and Garland landed on his two feet, noting his staff was out of his grip.
"Good strategy Brooklyn," Garland said.
"No problem," Brooklyn replied.
It was then that they heard a vampire in pain, but not huge, and they turn to see a vampire on the ground, and after a few seconds was able to stand up, but was getting up weakly.
"You're lucky that it wasn't the competition or I'll have you in the hospitalize area," said an aggressive voice.
Then appear, a male no older than twenty-one, pale, with black hair, and blood-red eyes.
"That's Darien, for what I hear," said Mystel, for he was unpredictable as anyone will never know when he's here or not, "He has been training ever since he was allowing to. Everyone that he faces was in pain, or to chicken to face him after seeing his skills."
"You're kidding right?" asked Garland.
"No, because when I go for my training, I would see him all the time, and never skip once," replied Mystel.
"Looks like, we have to train a bit harder, incase if any of us were to face against him," said Brooklyn.
"Yes, indeed," Mystel said.
"So, Garland, ready for another round?" Brooklyn asked.
"You bet," Garland replied, as he got to staff back from Brooklyn and position himself in defense.
With that Brooklyn got into his offense position, before he got ready to charge at Garland.
The throne room was crowded with many vampires male and female, as they formed a big circle, with an empty space that they formed for the battles that they will see.
For those who were fighting, they done practicing and training for this event, as they put their skills to the test to see if they can be able to be the winner of the competition and the new heir of Blood Trillium.
What they have known for sure, that they must fight in order to go to the next round. In order to win, the opponent can drop their weapon in surrender, and must go down (by being knocked out) and unable to fight. Each participant has to use one weapon of choice, but if they win they had a choice on switching weapons.
Brooklyn made a choice on using the broad-sword. And he saw all of the other vampires participating. He see Crusher with a battle ax, Garland twin swords, Mystel a set of sais (A/N: The weapon that Raphael from Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles uses, and Electra), and saw many others with swords, staff, whips and axes.
Then he spotted Darien, and notices that Darien was only using throwing knives as his weapon of choice. And for sure, Brooklyn knows that Darien might have a strategy going on, because for sure Darien won't be using those throughout the whole tournament.
All of the vampires silenced as Boris came standing, raising his hands till hearing nothing.
Then he began his speech…
"Members of Blood Trillium, today is the day that we'll find our heir to Blood Trillium, as I will be in my time of need in the further years to come. Those who are willing to get the title, have train from sunset to sunrise of long hours of blood and sweat to show what they got what it takes to declare that they are to be the heir of this clan. We wish them good luck, and let the tournament began!"
The all of the vampires yell and cheer, of his speech and eager for the first fight to be in play.
Then a male vampire appears in the middle of the circle, which seems to be a referee for the tournament, call out, "The first battle will be Brooklyn against Michael, take your position."
Brooklyn step into the circle as well as Michael, in which they face each other, and the referee was in between them.
Brooklyn draw out the broad-sword, and Michael drew out a sword as well.
"Any last words?" asked Michael.
Brooklyn smirked, replying, "We'll see who will have the last word?"
With that said and done, the referee finally said, "Ready, and FIGHT!!!"
Cliffhanger right there! Who will be the next heir of Blood Trillium? Then check it out in the next chapter of Our Bloody Memories.
