All Hell Breaks Loose
Pt 14: Maneater
Possible Trigger Warning for attempted rape in this chapter.
"Nicolette," Steve whispered the name of the vampire who had turned him. She looked the same as she had left and wore a black shirt with plunging neckline and tight jeans. "What are you doing here?"
"I was hoping to speak with one of the owner's of this establishment," Nicolette answered as she pointed to Fangtasia.
"Recruiting you mean?" He took a step back while avoiding her gaze.
"More like proselytizing." She ran her fingers through her hair.
"I doubt you would succeed." He knew Pam hates the group that turned him and threatened to tear out the heart of Steve's maker if she ever came across her.
"I felt you were close," Nicolette said. "I felt bad about leaving you but I was worried our king would kill you when he saw you."
"I have no king."
"We have a true king and he has been released from his prison. He will restore the vampires proper place in society."
"Proper place?" He shook his head. "We have to live together in peace. I mainstream and work here. They gave me a job, a home and they are helping with this." He pointed at himself.
"Oh my poor baby." She reached out and stroked his face. "They made you up like a clown to parade around to the lessers as a novelty."
"The proper term for them is humans."
"Are you letting them domesticate you? Do they have a collar and leash for you to wear? Do you run to them when they snap their fingers?"
"My boss is also a vampire and she enjoys it and prefers feeding from the bangers. I do not want that. I drink Tru Blood and I treat the humans as my equals."
"They are not our equals." Her voice grew sharper. "You need to stop thinking that way."
"Up until several months ago I was one of them. You are trying to convert me to your ways. I am not lost to my lord. I still pray to him and ask him for guidance. I refuse to be a monster."
"You are not a monster. To the lessers you are a god."
He took a step back. "Blasphemous whore. There is only one God and I follow him, his son Jesus Christ and the Holy Spirit. I will not be a false deity."
"Oh boy," Nicolette sighed and shook her head. "Do you think your god will accept a vampire in heaven, especially one who has laid with a man as he did a woman?"
"I never slept with a man." Steve felt rigid. When he was with Nicolette's nest he had bitten and drank from the thighs of several men and he did more. He had tasted of the flesh between their legs.
"You enjoyed sucking their cocks as much as I have." She smiled. "You need to stop denying your nature. Come with me."
"No I don't think I will."
"Steve, as your Maker I order you to follow me." She bolted.
Steve sighed as he followed after.
They didn't stop running until they head reached a McDonalds that was opened late. Nicolette was able to scale the building to the roof with the grace of a mountain lion. Steve followed after and while his climbing was slower it was still faster than a human's.
"Why are we here?" He asked once he sat down next to her.
"Fast food," Nicolette answered with a smile and pointed at the two lone staff members who were leaving. "There is one for each of us."
"I do not drink from humans anymore," Steve answered and took a step back.
"Stop it, Roger" one of the employees shrieked from below. "I don't want to go home with you."
"Come on, Becca," the male said. "I invite you every time we get off and you won't even want to have lunch with me on our days off."
Steve crawled to the edge and stared down over the side as the male was closing in on Becca.
"I said no every time. Get the hint?"
"Yeah I get the hint." Roger snatched her wrist. "The hint that you are a fucking tease and a slut."
"Let me go."
Steve was down on him in a second, but even that was slower than Nicolette who had tackled Roger to the ground.
"What the fuck?" Becca asked.
"Run," Steve said as he bared his fangs at her. "I would run if I were you."
"Shit!" Becca ran and hopped into one of the cars and sped out.
Seeing as she had escaped Steve turned to Nicolette and the disgusting man. His maker was already drinking from one side of the creep's neck. Steve sank his fangs into the other and drank deeply. He could feel the pulse slow down but he didn't care. It had been days since he last fed on a human the rich taste of actual human blood filled his senses with pure pleasure.
"See my child?" Nicolette said once they finished draining the would be rapist. "You cannot deny your nature." There was still blood on her mouth.
"My nature is a killer," he whispered. He killed a human being. He had truly become everything he had preached against.
"Yes. You are learning well." She pressed her mouth against his.
He closed his eyes halfway as he tasted her lips and the blood. He had forgotten what her kisses were like, almost removed them from his mind but this released those memories.
The kiss was nice and Steve had no idea it would lead to him laying in the middle of the parking lot with his head on the corpse had drained and with his maker straddling him and riding him at a full gallop. Her thighs were only squeezing marginally harder than her smooth inner muscle around his erection.
He let out a moan as he continued to let himself be ridden but as he closed his eyes he imagined that it was Jason on top of him and his hard flesh was inside his former soldier.
"Oh, oh," Nicolette gasped. "That was what I was missing." She slid off him and slipped on her panties and reached for her pants. "How do you feel?"
"Good," Steve said as he pulled his underwear and pants back up.
"Not great?"
"To tell the truth you are not who I was thinking off."
"Do tell."
"I don't think so."
"I'll be going back soon. I want you to come with me."
"I need to think about it." He was afraid that if he flat out refused she would use her power over him.
"Don't take too long." She pulled up her pants and buttoned the snap. She did not see the figure standing in the shadow behind her.
Without a word the figure raced out, slashed her claws at Nicolette's arm and scaled the side of the building. Steve turned and saw a dark pink human like creature with wings and horns before it reached the top and took flight.
Nicolette was screeching in pain and hand her hand over where she was clawed.
"Are you all right?" Steve asked.
"No. I've been infected. I have to leave."
"You are damn right you have to leave," Pam said as she walked up to them. "So you are the nasty bitch who let her Progeny be tortured."
"I was following orders."
"Yet you never asked or pleaded for them to stop." Pam marched up to her.
"I begged for them to stop."
"You wanted him to be hurt so you can coddle him and sooth his pain. You never cared about your Progeny."
"Fuck you, bitch," Nicolette hissed. "I am turning him into a true vampire."
"A true vampire? All I see is a sadistic slut who bows before a gold spray painted spoiled brat who didn't get to be crowned prince."
"Watch your tongue."
Pam clenched her mouth and struck her fist against Nicolette's face, sending the other vampire flying a few feet.
"Human loving tart," Nicolette spat.
"Get out of my area. As Sheriff I order you to leave."
Nicolette hissed and took off, racing through the night.
Pam continued to glare at the direction Nicolette had run off to before she turned to Steve.
"Pam, I'm sorry," Steve said. "I didn't want to follow her. I never wanted to kill anyone in that way."
"Follow me back to Fangtasia," Pam said, her voice devoid of any emotion. She ran off in the direction of the club.
Steve sighed and followed after her.
New Orleans
Eric sat with his legs folded in the lotus position. His arms were out parallel. Once his eyes were closed he made his mind go blank. He did not think of his current living condition, or of the Authority, or Pam and he fought of every urge to think of Sookie.
"Eric," Godric's voice flitted about in his mind.
"Godric?" Eric asked. Darkness was replaced with moonlight and he found himself in the woods, wearing his armor from when he was once alive.
"Eric you seem lost." Godric stepped before him dressed in the clothes he wore when he went to meet the sun.
"I am in trouble," Eric confessed. "Bill and I are in hiding from the Authority. The vampire we had sealed has been freed. I worry not only about myself, but my progeny and for Sookie."
"I remember her," Godric said with a smile. "She was special. The closest person to an angel."
"With Russell free her life is in danger."
"The Authority has been around for a long time," Godric said. "I remember when they were formed."
"I need to find away to either get rid of the Authority and make amends with them and I need to fight Russell."
"You need to seek out the maker of my maker," Godric said.
"Ismene?"
"Find Ismene and you will be able to solve your problems," Godric said as he walked off. "You will have to find her."
"Godric wait," Eric called out to him but his Maker had faded away.
