Chapter Twenty-three:

Monster Within

"Blood; the life source for all vampires... One who refuses to drink will pay the ultimate price, releasing the monster within oneself."

"This is the room that you'll be staying in," Ming-Ming said as she open the sliding paper door, the door leading to Jess's new room.

Jess entered in even though she felt queasy after being staring at some of the vampires. All gave her the dark, coldness, and terrifying glares of all, like a hawk eyeing on their prey.

She took a glimpse of the room that she'll be staying for eternity. Her eyesight that was vastly greater than any human eyes got a good view and saw some details of the furniture.

The walls were a dark crimson, red, and she saw black curtains hung on the opposite end of the wall, covering a window. The floor was made of dark-wood and polished, as well as the furniture, including the bedside table with a lamp, a desk, a closet, and a chair. The bed was a futon, with white sheets and pillows neatly.

Jess went to the window, opening the thick black curtains; she felt the touch of heavy velvet material, to gaze out through the windows. The window was covered in black iron bars, preventing those to escape out of the window. The night sky was clear, but she would remember this night as it was the night that changed her life.

"Now, let see," Ming-Ming continued, "With willing to open the windows…you must always make sure to close them tightly and close the curtains at all times before you fall asleep when the sun rises."

Jess looks at Ming-Ming before she close the curtains to cover the window, and sat on the futon.

"Oh yes the rules, since your new, fledgling. You must always obey the elder's commands, and you have several of chores for your status. You must give respect to all vampires at higher ranks than you, which is almost everyone here. And of course in order to receive the respect you must work your way up, so, if you think that I'll be helping you, forget it."

Her words were following by a small laughter, escaping Ming-Ming's lips.

"You are allowed to go outside at night and be back an hour or so, before the sun rises, but as a fledgling you are not allow to hunt. Why? Because you're inexperienced and by the time you turn 21 in vampire years, you'll have to hunt in groups, which is even harder since you won't have anybody to guide you. Ha, ha, ha."

With that Ming-Ming closes the paper door, leaving Jess alone in her new, dark room.

'Man, she's so stuck up and conceited,' Jess thought, 'I wonder who would ever be her friend, of course it's not going to be. And I bet she would pay some money to ask people to pretend that their friends with her.'

Jess looked around once more, of the room, before she took a look in the closet. Opening the dark mahogany doors of the closet it reveals a dark shadow inside of it. It was hallow, empty, and nothing was inside.

"Hey."

Jess turn around to see who the female voice belongs to, and it was some girl pale, almost like everyone else. She had dark-red waist-length hair and golden eyes.

"Brooklyn wanted to see you, fledgling…at the front of the entrance."

Jess exited out of her new room, and headed down the hallway, passing a few females talking and laughing. She completely ignore them as she headed to the entrance way.

She noted Brooklyn was at the entrance way, but she realized there were a few things on the floor. Bags… Some of them she instantly recognizes that she used when she arrived here in Japan.

"Brooklyn…"

"Would I think you would be wearing the same clothes, and besides your shirt is still ripped," Brooklyn explained.

It was then that Jess realizes her shirt was ripped, and blushes at his comment. Brooklyn simple chuckle softly, unable for the females to hear.

"Anyway, here's your stuff. Your laptop is in your backpack, so, don't worry about it."

Jess went to get her duffle bags, and her backpack, "Thanks Brooklyn." She was about to leave when, "Jess…"

Jess turn around to face Brooklyn, seeing Brooklyn was reaching something in his pocket. Once he has found it, he stretches his hand out to Jess and showed her, her grey and white cell phone. She retrieves her cell phone from his hand and replied, "Thanks Brooklyn."

"No problem, I see you tomorrow night, to start you training as a vampire."

Brooklyn, left leaving Jess walking back to her assigned room, carrying the bags with her stuff in it. And this will take at least an hour to unpack.

She opened both of her bags, and her backpacks to see some of her clothes, her toilettes, some of her other things; her make-up (she rarely uses much), accessories (necklaces, bracelets), books she reads that were her favourite, her sketch books filled with her drawings, her laptop, and then she notices something that shines dully in her bag.

Her hand went in the bag, digging it out through a few clothes till her hand made contact with something cool; connecting to a chain and the object had smooth edges. Holding the object, with her hands balled into fists, she pulls the object out, with the chain hanging out from the openings of the fist.

Staring at the fist she made with the unknown, yet familiar object for a moment. She opens her hand; her eyes were in sorrow, and regret.

It was her family's gift to her for her seventeenth birthday. The white and dark-blue snowflake necklace, it was to remember them while she was half-way around the world.

But she remembered that she was wearing it the night she was stabbed by Ian, to protect Brooklyn. Her thoughts for a guess are that it dropped for some reason, and Brooklyn manages to get it for her and stuff it in her bags.

But the necklace made her remember what is soon going to happen after what Jess had chosen.

Tears formed once again in Jess's eyes, as she cry silently, not for tears of joy, but the tears of pain she will received as well as the pain her family will get soon enough. Her head hung low, shadows from her hair covered her crystal-blue eyes, only the tears that began to shed, came rolling down her pale cheeks.

Her family will never know that fate she has chosen, they never see her in daylight again, and they will then look for her, thinking of kidnapping had taken place in the mystery of their missing family member. Never knowing that supernatural exists in the world, never know that there are vampires, and knowing that she is one of them.

Then the thoughts came to her that she will be alone. That is what she is feeling; the sense that nobody that knew or loved her won't be there by her side. There would be nobody to support her, and nobody to care for her.

Almost nobody…

A Night Later…

The sounds of slow, long breathing came from Jess, sleeping on the futons. No blankets was covering her, and wearing the same clothes, she was in the moment of silence in her room.

Small murmur sounds came from outside of her room, as the females were up, and started their conversation on the latest gossip they heard. Something the female vampires have always done when they are bored.

Jess was almost completely done packing, but she was in need to organize her books, sketchbooks, as they scatter on the floor.

With sudden movements on her legs and head, Jess was beginning to return from her deep unconsciousness of sleep, ready to be awaken for a new night. The first night Jess has stayed at Blood Trillium, as well her first sleep during daylight; the life of a vampire, even for a fledgling.

Her eyes open slowly, and soon fluttering them, revealing her crystal-blue eyes. Her eyes took a peek at the black curtains covering the window. Black velvet material is covering the windows when daylight shines, protecting those who can be burn when they are bathe in the sun's rays.

She got up from the futon, and moved her body to the edge of it, placing her pale feet on the cool, polished wooden floors. She stood there for a few minutes, breathing deeply and calmly, regaining her memories that all happen last night. Memories of the dance club, the confrontation, the stabbings, the Dark Trick, and entering the doors of Blood Trillium.

She scans at the dark room she was assigned to, seeing the books and sketchbooks on the floor. It was going to be the first thing she'll needed to do, as well as setting her clock up since she didn't hook it up, nor even know the time. Looking at her cell phone that lay on the bedside table, she reached for her cell phone and check the time on the screen. 8:53 pm. The sun would already been down several minutes ago.

Jess went to the closet, trying to find a comfortable outfit to wear for the night. Her hands made contact with the wooden knobs of the closet, and open to reveal her clothes, mainly her tops. All in different colors, patterns, and cuts and styles with sleeves, spaghetti-straps or no sleeves at all.

Glimpsing at the tops, she has decide to wear a purple, V-neck t-shirt, and the white, zipper hoodie. With the shirts chosen, she opens a drawer to show some pants, shorts and jeans. As well she decides on black jean shorts, since she feels the night air would be warm for the summer.

Closing the closet cabinet and the drawer, she tosses the clothes on the futon, as she stripped down to her bra and underwear, tossing the clothes she wore on the floor, as she noted she was going to sew her black top. Under two minutes she got her chosen outfit on herm as she finished zipping up the zipper half-way, below her bust.

On cue, someone open the paper door, as it revealed Ming-Ming, with her light-blue hair, tan skin and honey-brown eyes. Along with the outfit she wore a pink strapless top and a black flaring mini-skirt.

"Hello, fledgling," Ming-Ming greeted Jess with a hinted attitude, "Brooklyn wants to meet you in half an hour for you training. So, better be prepared." She immediately closes the paper door shut, allowing Jess to have her privacy back for now.

'What's up with these vampires calling me a 'fledgling',' thought Jess, 'I have a name, you know.'

But at least, with the time, she would be able to finish unpacking, cleaning her books, making the floor a lot less messy, and setting her alarm clock.

Half Hour Later…

Jess walk to the parlor area, as she saw the many vampires doing the same thing as always. They were drinking blood, smoking for a few, and talking, with the males and females separate into groups.

All that came to her mind was seeing Brooklyn, after all Ming-Ming told her that she was to meet him.

She lay against the wall as she crosses her arm, as she begins waiting for Brooklyn to come.

Some of the females from the dorms passed by Jess, but they look at her in curious, but then giggled away in laughter, as they talk within their group.

She caught some of the words with her ears that she couldn't hear as a human. They were saying how silly her outfit is.

'Well at least I don't wear like a slut,' she thought, seeing how mostly all of the girls were wearing clothes that were to short, revealing, and disturbing.

"Hey Jess," came a knowing voice that Jess waited for.

Her eyes gazes at Brooklyn's eyes and replied, "Hi Brooklyn."

"It's time for me to begin training you, follow me."

Brooklyn began walking, as Jess follows him a few steps behind, wondering where he's going to take her for her training.

Both past many doors and hallways like they did to enter the throne room, but they went to a different direction. Both came to a set of doors, but this time it wasn't tall, just at the normal size for all normal doors.

"Jess," Brooklyn began, after the breaking the silence when they headed here from the beginning, "Have you already fed yet?"

He looked at Jess for her response. She shook her head and replied, "No."

"But Jess, you must be fed once you wake up. It's a life of a fledgling. I have been on that road before, even though I wasn't going to dare myself for not drinking blood for one day as a fledgling."

"Brooklyn, please! You don't understand!" Jess exclaimed, "I can't stand drinking blood, for which I would know that it came from someone who will never live or in need of blood to live. Just looking at it I feel scared and in pain, even though blood is going to be a part of my life!"

Her head went down, for her bangs to fall down and cover her eyes and face. Hiding away the sadness and pain from him.

Brooklyn gazes at Jess, feeling that he understood her words. She was still under the sympathy for humans to die because of their existence. But with the thought to be moved away with an idea, he place both of his hands on her shoulders and Jess look up to see Brooklyn's eyes.

"Jess, if you want how about I join you with a glass a blood? Is that okay?" Brooklyn suggested.

Jess turns her head away from Brooklyn and said "I guess so."

"Okay then, just enter that room and I'll be right back," with that, Brooklyn walked away from Jess, leaving her to face to door alone.

Jess stares back at the door, and after a while, she twisted the knob, and pushing the door slowly to see that the normal doors doesn't help show the room was huge like the throne room. Maybe it is the second largest door in the building.

The room had a few chairs but all were pushed to the one side of the walls. There were a few pillars in the room, but most of them have markings, scratches and dried blood, a thought that Jess wondered if it was used more than just training.

There were also windows, that aren't covered in iron bars, and not covered in curtains as it must be the only room to be use at night and nothing more.

She quietly walks toward the windows, as she observes the scenery in front of her eyes. The sky was covered in thick purple clouds for this night. And the area seems deserted, a good sign for vampires, since their existence won't be know to humans.

Jess silently opens the window, and the night's air hit her face. Looking down she notices the ground below her was grass, as well she then notices some thick, vine bushes growing on the walls of the building. The vines grow so tall that it passes by the window she's in and grows further up.

'Maybe I can get out of here with the vines on the wall,' thought Jess, 'But what about Brooklyn?'

Jess looks back at the door in the room; the door that Brooklyn may come in any minute, or second with a glass of blood for her to drink. He would be wondering what happen to her and suggests that she should stay. But the other side of her wants her free from this area; show them that she could still live and walk like a human being, even though it will only happen at night, and don't need to drink blood everyday.

Her head turn back to the window; open out for the night, as she observes the view.

'I'm sorry Brooklyn.'

Jess climbs over the window, hanging on to the vines, as she begins to head down to the ground floor, getting away from this place.

The sounds of thunder was approaching, a possibility of a thunder shower approaching the city of Tokyo.

It must have been what ten to twenty minutes ago that she walked. On a second thought, when she tries to run off, she couldn't believe the huge amount of speed she was using. And by the time she try to stop she tripped and fell to the ground, and what was interesting that she didn't break a sweat or even was breathing hard from it.

She then walks along the streets of Tokyo, wondering where she would go.

Step by step on the concrete floor, she let her feet wonder off to guide her to a place at least to calm her mind, from what's going on. Some people pass by her, but completely ignore her as they mind their own business of life.

Her feet later lead her to a park. Her head looked at the empty, dark park. Swings and slides are empty from children swinging, and sliding during the day time, enjoying their young lives. She felt they were lucky to not know that vampire exists or even believe they don't exist. The sand boxes were only will with sand and there were some torn sand castles.

Everything was quiet…

The thunder got louder than before, as the storm was getting close to be prepared to wet the city, and scare people in fear of its loud voice, especially to scare the children.

Her ears then perked to a sound. It's sounded like someone was crying. It was soft and someone was sobbing. It was then that she heard and voice, and what the voice was saying.

Mommy… Mommy… Where are you?

It was the sound of a child, a male child, crying for his mother.

'But where is it coming from?'

Jess took a look around the park, finding the owner of the child voice. It was then with her eyes greatly with better vision than a normal human being, she saw something small sitting on the bench near by. Carefully toward the unknown stranger, Jess realizes that it was a child sitting on the bench, crying.

The child looked up to Jess, as at first the child was startled by her, but relax and yet sad for he was expecting someone else. The child went back to crying turning his head away from Jess.

Jess looked at the child; the child had brown hair, and matching eyes. He was scared and sad.

"Hey there, what's wrong?" Jess asked as she bent down beside the child.

The child looked at Jess, eyes were watery, but the child wipes away the wet tears from his face with his hand forming into a fist.

"My mo-mommy, she went off," the child replied, "Try to catch up, b-b-but I got lost."

"Oh, how long were you lost?"

"In the a-afternoon."

All alone all day, Jess felt sorry for the child to be lost from his mother. But the mother should be calling the police or even have a search party for the little one.

"Hey, how about this? I'll keep you company till your mother looks for you hear. It could be a possibility that she'll retrace her steps to find you. Is that okay?"

The crying from the child eventually stop, and the child felt lighten up, but did not show a smile.

"Okay," the child replied.

"By the way, my name's Jess. What's yours?"

"My name is Riku."

"Well it's nice to meet you Riku."

As if on cue the thunder was louder then ever, and Jess felt a drop of water on her pale cheek. Many drops came by after that; it was pouring rain hard enough for to rain cats and dogs.

Jess quickly looks for some shelter in the park, and that's when she spotted a wooden gazebo near by; good enough to keep them dry for now.

"Let's head to the gazebo there, and hurry."

The child replied a yes, as Jess held on to the child by her hand and both ran toward the gazebo. Jess was unaware that her stomach began to growl in hunger…

The rusty gold knob was twist, as the door was slowly open into the training room.

"Jess I'm back," said Brooklyn as the door was open with his back pushing it. He wasn't able to push it by hand due to two glasses of blood was occupying his hands, "Sorry it took to long, but had a run-in conversation with a friend and-"

The door was fully open, as Brooklyn turn to face the room expecting Jess in front of him in it. His eyes calm and ready change unexpectedly into shock and fear.

The glasses held by his hands were dropped to the ground. Blood was spilling from the glass, before the glass itself mad contact on the ground. Once the glasses had made contact to the floor, cracks began to form and it shatters into pieces. Shards of glass and drops of blood spread out till hall of the pieces were now on the floor.

Brooklyn walk around the room, not caring if his feet walked on the floor of blood and glass, and trailing bloody glass prints all over. He hoped that Jess was just hiding from him behind the large columns for teasing. Observing every pole, he didn't find her, and the panic of Jess's absence was rising.

'Where is she?!' Brooklyn thought as he walks into the center of the room. His ocean-green eyes scan all around the room till his eyes stop and focus on one of the windows in the room.

The window was not shut like the other windows, as Brooklyn began to fear if Jess must have escape from the window.

He hurried to the window, as well he observe the dark cloudy night. It was raining hard, thunder was heard and lightning flashes for a second till vanish into thin air.

'She must have gone down from here, but where did she go?! I must find her quickly before it's too late; since she isn't fed yet.'

Brooklyn swoops over the window and fell on to the ground, and landed perfectly on two feet. Once he had landed with his speed he hurry to look for Jess, as he smell her scent and follow the trail to where she had gone to.

Her stomach was hungry; hungry for blood, but Jess try to resists her stomach plea. Jess observes the rainy scenery, hoping to find Riku's mother quickly.

Ruki was sitting with his back behind Jess, as her legs were spread for him to sit. He too was looking hard to find his mother, hoping she comes and wanting to be in his mother's embrace. Her words would repeat 'I have been so worry about you' to his ears and taking him home. Warm, cozy, and a home he feels belong to.

Jess didn't know how long they have been waiting, but she hoped it was soon. It was because she doesn't want Riku to know about her stomach pleading for blood. Yet this time her stomach growled louder causing Riku's to hear it and trying to look at Jess.

"Are you okay?" he asked.

Jess nodded, saying, "I'm fine, keep on looking for you mom." But she was not okay.

The craving for blood was beginning to get stronger than before, as Jess tries to fight it off. She wanted to show them that she can survive a day without being hunger, being tempted by the blood scent to consume and be satisfied when full.

Her eyes closed and her teeth holding down, revealing a bit of her fangs, but not a lot to be notice as fangs.

It was then that Jess felt she was beginning to feel controlled by her stomach then the other way around.

'I can't hold it much longer,' she thought, 'but I need to control it, prove them wrong, and for Riku's sake.'

Her head fell down, a moment past that she held her head down. But a few seconds later, her head tilted up so her eyes were revealed. No longer her crystal-blue eyes, but replace by a pair of blood-red eyes. Lightning flashed in the sky making her image shown in black and white, but the eyes were still red.

She has lost it, but worst…she has unleashed the dark secret; the dark price.

The blood-red eyes focus on the little boy's neck; wanting to kill and feed him.

Her head leans forward toward Riku, her lips going as close as possible to the child's neck. Fangs were revealed; long, white, sharp, and wanting to pierce for blood.

Everything went so fast of what happened…

…The thunder boom loudly, as if an explosion have occur in the sky. The lightning continues to flash more than usually for the night. More heavy rain kept falling from the dark clouds.

Blood have seeped from the little boy's neck from the fangs that pierced him and killed him. Jess continues to drink the blood, her hunger fully replenish and its pleading has come true.

Jess's eyes open (for they were closed during her feeding), to reveal the blood-red eyes; but in a flash they have change back into her eyes. Crystal-blue return, but this time, the iris in her eyes have emphasized; glow from the feeding.

The boy lay limp and dead, for he will no longer reunite with his mother nor walk on the Earth again.

With her hunger full, Jess retrieve her fangs from the boy's neck, showing the dark ruby coating on them and two puncture wounds left on the boy's neck. She let go of her grasp of the child, letting the child fall down to the damp, grassy ground.

A soft smile have spread on her face; a succeeding in her kill. The glow of her crystal-blue eyes faded away to normal, still staring at the limp body.

But then the smile that plaster on her face and her expression went shock, fear, and terrified of what has happened.

'Riku,' Jess thought. She knelt down beside Riku, scared to touch him so see if he was alright. Hoping she hasn't killed him fully, she outstretches her hand towards Riku. Her hand made contact with his arm gently squeezing it and shaking it gently, seeing if he was going to wake up. Unleashing her grasp, she hopes to see a reaction or even hear him say anything at all…

…There were no words, and no movements. He was dead.

'I-I-I killed h-him. I don't remember what happened to me. What happened?!'

Jess then screamed, terrified of something she couldn't remember what happened. Screaming to her was the only thing for her to react. She walked backwards; away from the body, her eyes till terrified.

The rain was soaking her and the dead Riku, and Jess didn't notice she was getting wet.

"Jess!!" yelled a voice.

Jess heard it, and she knew it belong to Brooklyn. But she was traumatizing of the scenery in front of her.

Brooklyn ran to Jess quickly, for he heard Jess's scream, and as well follow her scent to the park.

Finally reaching toward Jess, he went in front of Jess with both hands on her shoulders. He couldn't know what to say to her, but his voice went faster than his thoughts.

"What the hell were you thinking?" he asked, but mainly yells. He notices that Jess hadn't move a bit nor wasn't paying attention to her. Curious he gently shook Jess to get her attention.

"Jess…Jess what's wrong?"

"I-I…thought I could last at least a night without blood," she answered, "I don't' remember what happened after that."

She tilts her head to see the dead body once more, but seeing it have given her more pain than ever. Brooklyn noticing this too turns her head to see what the scenery laid upon him. A gazebo, but on the grassy ground lay a small child. Blood escape from two puncture wounds on his neck, his eyes were closed and pale.

One conclusion came to him…

"Fuck," he swore under his breath. He turns to face her and saw Jess was scared of what has happened upon this stormy night. Yet, he feels sorry and worried for her cause one; everything around her life from yesterday and now has cause a dramatic change for Jess. And two; if anybody in Blood Trillium knew of her; a fledgling that went out to then later kill a human for feeding, severe consequences would be made.

He didn't want Jess to be punished early so young for what she did. Brooklyn looked back at the body, trying to think of a possibility to somehow cover this mess up. Then, an idea hit him…

"Jess," he said as he turn back to face her, "listen to me."

Jess then react to his words, and look at him with worry and unsure of what to do. But she was depending on what Brooklyn has to say.

"I need you to help me out cover the evidence with me, but once done I'm going to cover up the truth, so you don't have to experience the huge wrath of Boris. Is that clear?"

She slowly nodded, but unsure of might soon happen…

"What the hell has been going on? I want an explanation from you Brooklyn!" commanded Boris, as he slams his fist on the desk in his study room.

Jess winced of the loudness in his voice as well the sound of his hand contacting on the desk. She couldn't stand of what's going on once she came in to the building once more.

Both she and Brooklyn managed to hid the evidences of the child's murder, so, know one would know what has occur in the park tonight, and once they have completed it, both went back to the building. Someone she didn't know had told her and Brooklyn to meet Boris in his study room, for he was outrage and wanting to know what's going on. The person mainly stare at her the most, with the most dark and hatred eyes ever like she was the one to be blamed for what is going on for this night. But she knew it was true that it was her fault, but she wasn't to react or respond to anybody at all of what happened. Then when she and Brooklyn were on the way to Boris's study room, many of the same vampires she saw earlier, had the same eyes looking at her. They were full of dark, and hatred.

Her head hung low, but not low enough to cover her face in shame, for what's going on at the moment now.

"You were the one responsible for her, and the first night she manages to escape, but I want to know what happened."

Brooklyn knew what Boris had said means. He means if she ever have killed a human for feeding. It's one of the many rules that mainly a fledgling has to follow; never to hunt in their first twenty years of being a vampire. No fledgling dared to break this rule for it proceed with major consequences, and Jess didn't meant to kill the child. She explained to him that she tried to fight it, and the next thing she knew that the child was dead on the floor.

And he hopes that the words that would come out of his mouth would be good enough for Boris to buy it.

"Boris," Brooklyn began, "She did managed to escape from me leaving her unsupervised, but I caught her scent and followed it. By the time I did, she was about to kill a human child. I managed to stop her, but at the same time, I killed the child and cover any evidence of our presence and the child's presence."

Boris' dark-red eyes still stare at Brooklyn's ocean green eyes, trying to find if it was true or not. But why would his "star" heir lied to him, after all, Brooklyn had always been honest and told the truth.

Then his eyes look at Jess.

"Is that true?"

Jess quickly looks up to meet Boris' eyes, and replied after a second or two, "Yes, he's telling the truth."

Boris turns away from Jess and Brooklyn; his back facing both of them as he looked at the window. It was still raining, but there are some more hours to go before the sun rises.

"Very well then," Boris replied after a moment of silence, "Both of you are dismissed."

Both Brooklyn and Jess got up from their seats, as they headed out of the door of his study room.

"And Brooklyn…"

Brooklyn stops from walking and turn to face Boris for he still has his back against them. Jess, unaware of Brooklyn stopping opens the door, exiting out, and closing it shut.

"Yes Sir," Brooklyn replied.

Finally Boris turns his head so he can see Brooklyn as he said what he wanted to say.

"You better keep that fledgling on a shorter leash next time, or I'll have to do it myself. Understood?"

"Understood."

Man, I'm done. Sorry for taking so long with the update, but it was worth it, cause I finish my CAT assignments, and need to do two more exams. I'll be able to update more in the summer; I'm hoping to finish this off near the end of the summer to be able to challenge myself with multi-story tasking. Please REVIEW!!
