Jazz journal of her fall into the Abyss
Maddie was so angry with Jack at the moment, she was heavily pregnant, whose ankles were sore, her back hurt, and she had a massive headache from researching all day on Salem Massachusetts in the 1600s.
She believed the Witch trials had been caused by ghosts breaching what her and her husband were calling the Ghost Zone. She had lost her sense of time as she normally did when doing research, but she had asked her husband to come pick her up before it became too late, but of course he forgot!
She momentarily forgot her anger as the little girl inside her kicked, something she did whenever Maddie was angry. She placed her hand onto her belly saying, "It's okay little one, you'll get cranking with papa too once you are with us, but he is a good man, so we will forgive him, maybe."
She turned down the alleyway before her house and was spooked as there was a crack of lightning above her. It was a hot summer evening and apparently the perfect conditions for dry lightning, she thought with a giggle. She tried to calm herself before she stepped into something wet and sticky.
She looked down and a gasp left her mouth before she quickly covered it with her hands and shook.
Strown throughout the alleyway were mangled bodies all wearing strange metal or leather armor. Arms, legs, heads, and blood were everywhere. She noticed despite her shaking and fear several large shiny bolts littering the walls and even a large metal trashcan.
Following the bolts her eyes bulged out of her head as she seen a man pinned to a wall of the alley with several bolts almost crucified to the shattered and crumbling brick wall behind it.
She rushed over as he seemed to be the only intact victim. Once she was in front of him she gasped bringing her hand to her mouth yet again.
The poor man had several bolts in his arms, legs, chest, and gut. His shirt was ripped open exposing pale gaunt flesh with symbols arranged into concentric circles carved into it, still oozing a very dark blood. The man looked like he had been severely malnourished as his skin hugged tightly to his ribcage allowing Maddie to easily count each of his ribs. It didn't get better as she looked up to the well kempt goateed face, with its sunken cheeks and eyes. Again, she was taken aback as the man's ears were not human, but were pointy like elves from some fantasy, "What were you," she asked.
She nearly fell on her ass as the man's blood shot eyes shot open and the man started to speak to her in gasps and wheezing.
He was not speaking English at first she couldn't tell what it was but then she started picking out words and knew what it was.
The man was speaking some kind of Romanian she had a small grasp of the language as a fellow ghost hunter was from Bucharest and was a part of her and her husband's paranormal club in college.
'Please' and 'help me' stood out, she managed to say, "oh, oh I am so sorry you poor soul." Before thinking hard back to her college days with the man from Romania adding, " Ne pare rău, îmi pare rău că voi repede." Which she hoped conveyed that she was sorry and would help right away.
He started speaking much faster than before apparently now thinking she spoke fluent Romanian and she tried to tell him she only knew a little of the language. She wanted to just pull the bolts out, but knew that would do more damage than good. The mans eyes shot open turning a darker blood red from the crystal blue as he spoke. She didn't understand his words, but her body responded as she started to rip out the bolts that were pinning his arm. She was terrified, as she felt like a prisoner in her own body, as she moved like a marionette as she tried to command her body to stop.
Once one arm was free Maddie screamed in horror as the mans jaw unhinged revealing long sharp canines. The word 'vampire' came to mind as she tried to pull away, but the man or maybe monster was a better description locked its eyes with hers freezing her in place as it brought its arm to its mouth and ripped open its own flesh tearing into its ulnar artery.
Black blood started seeping out of the wound and to her shock and horror it shoved the wound into her mouth, and she felt the cold thick liquid pouring into her mouth and down her throat, as it did the words, he was speaking started to make sense.
"My blood, the blood of the progenitor shall not be sealed, but with this I sow its seed in you, protect this gift and on its 16th cycle it will be reborn as a master of the lords of night."
The creature was than surrounded in brilliant blue flames the seemed to burn away the flesh and bone of the creature leaving a shadow outline of a man with what seemed to be a pair of large wings coming out of its back.
She was now released from whatever control it had on her and fell onto the blood covered ground of the alley. She had no time to process what had happened as suddenly her throat started to burn. The horrible burning seeped into her body and stomach and to her horror to where she felt her baby to be. Desperately she tried to get off the ground before she was racked with pain and felt a wetness spreading in her pants.
She looked down and realized her water had just broke as she whispered through a choking sob, "No not yet little one, not here, not now!"
…
Jazz played with the rosary around her wrist like she did whenever she was by herself. As she did she was struck by the idea that she knew she would forget the moment she was no longer distracted.
Why do I have this, we aren't a religious family, I've never been to a church, but I always have it on, wait have I ever not had it on?
Before she could try taking it off the door to her VW bug swung open and Danny came into the car. Jazz forgot what she was thinking about as she smiled at her brother. He smiled back saying, "Thanks for picking me up."
She replied, "No problem lil bro, mom and dad are busy working on the 'Fenton portal' and I wasn't going to make you walk home on your birthday," She rolled her eyes before continuing, "Plus I wanted to talk with you."
Danny sighed and she didn't totally blame him, she knew she could be considered a nag, but it was for his betterment.
She continued, "You haven't gotten any grades higher than B's and were that is not bad, I know for a fact that your smarter than just 'B's' and I think you should let me start tutoring you.
Normally she would be more adult-like as she hates being treated like just a kid, but she decided to give him the pleading little girl look, making her eyes big looking at him with a slightly tilted head and sticking out her bottom lip and chin out.
For Danny he had just been about to flatly say no but instead he burst out laughing saying, "Okay, okay! But only if you never and I mean never do that face again!"
She smiled triumphantly and said, "I know it seems like I am just nagging you, but I love you, and only want what is best for you."
He smiled before hiding it saying, "I know, I know, and you're not a nag, I am just not a baby anymore."
She giggled saying, "I know, I am the one that wakes you up if you sleep through your alarm, I am very aware you are not a baby."
It took Danny a few moments to figure out what she meant as he was a healthy young man who had morning wood most days and blushed.
She smiled saying, "it's perfectly normal for.." he interrupted her yelling with a crack in his voice "I get it, I get it!"
She snorted as she started up the car and started heading towards home.
Danny asked excitedly forgetting his embarrassment, "Did they get the portal working?"
She looked over at her brother with furrowed brows saying, "Please don't get caught up in their delusions, you want to be an astronaut, they don't let ghost hunters into NASA."
He frowns and she sighed as she couldn't stand him pouting specially on his birthday saying, "No, they weren't even able to turn it on this time, in fact they are heading out to see if they can get some parts despite it being your birthday."
Danny said, "Oh?" Before looking out the window, and putting the expression on he always wore in deep thought.
The rest of the ride was quiet, once they got home Jazz told Danny she would go get his birthday cake she made him and her present to him, so he should get out of his shoes and relax.
It took her a while to gather everything and put the 14 candles on the small, layered cake as well as grabbing the two gifts she had gotten him, one was a book on the history of NASA and another that was two years in the making. She had worked two summer jobs saving everything she didn't need for her own books or to maintain the VW that had eventually became hers, to get her favorite little brother a Space Academy 3-day, 2-night package. It was like space camp, but more advanced and this would be the last year he would be able to do it.
Her friends had teased her that she was going too far for her brother, but she loved him and the older he got the more distant he seemed to be getting. She didn't want to get to the point that she was no longer a part of his life and hoped this would close that growing gap between them.
She started to walk through the living room when something practically screamed in her ear, 'Danger!' There was suddenly a frightening loud roar that ripped through the air and her body as the floor of the living room shot up in the room throwing her, the cake and gifts in her arms into the base of the stairs.
She screamed in pain as her back smacked hard into one of the steps as the knife in the cake flew past her face barely missing her.
Despite the pain she found she was slipping into the warm embrace of unconsciousness, the last thoughts she could clearly hear out before the darkness overwhelmed her were, "What happen, oh no the cake is ruined I hope Danny isn't upset, wait! Where is Danny? Is he okay?'
Then nothing.
…her eyes shot open, the air was acrid and full of black choking smoke, but despite that she was not fazed by it. Despite knowing she shouldn't be able to see through this black smoke she was able to make out the ruins of her living room though everything seemed to be black and white. "What's going on," she thought as she tried to stand up. It was weird her body felt as light as a feather as she shot up from the floor, she also knew from the little that she recalled that she should be in horrible pain, but instead she felt better than she ever had in her life.
Jazz went to bring her hand to her face but stopped as she noticed her fingers were longer than they should be, and her fingernails were long and more like talons than the cute pink polished well-manicured nails she knew she had.
She didn't have a chance to think on that as she suddenly heard the soft pained moaning of her little brother, she had heard that pained moaned only once when he broke his arm falling out of a tree when he was 12 and just like then she rushed towards the sound.
The walls, furniture, and debris from the explosion shifted around her unnaturally fast as she made it into their family's lab faster than she had ever before. Throwing the thick reenforced door off its hinges and no longer caring about how everything felt incredibly frail and weak to her, she looked around the destroyed lab.
Tables, lab equipment, and pieces of the ceiling were haphazardly scattered across the room. Some of which was burning with an eerie green otherworldly glow making it hard to discern anything in detail.
Jazz knew her heart should be pounding in her ears, she knew the smoke should be choking the very breath from her lungs, that the heat should be causing her to sweat, but it wasn't. Other than fear for her brother she was somehow calm, despite the smoke, each breath came as easy as any other, and other then a sense she shouldn't touch the green flame she couldn't feel anything other than a cold aura around her.
Again, she heard a moan and locked her eyes on the 'Fenton Portal' she rushed over dodging a falling support beam and other rubble still falling from the living room floor that was the ceiling to the lab. It was strange she wasn't super athletic, though she maintained a fit body and like morning runs, but she was dodging the falling and shifting debris like it was nothing easily jumping to the side avoiding it or vaulting over it to quickly reached the portal.
She gasped, pulling her hands to her face as tears filled her eyes. Danny lay in the portal with one of the many jumpsuits that littered the lab, it was full of holes as Danny's body was covered with burns and oozing cuts. The smell of his burning flesh and blood hit her like a truck.
And, to her shock not for the reason it should have been. Yes, she felt soul crushing desperation and despair at seeing her beloved brother in such a state, but the smells filled her with overwhelming hunger. Her eyes were now overflowing with tears as she shakingly reached out to him as she fell to her knees in front of him.
She took his head and gently placed it onto her thighs cradling his head into her stomach as she gingerly stroked his hair telling him everything would be okay.
She knew this wasn't true, she could hear his heartbeat slowing down becoming shallow, and though the fact she could hear his heartbeat, and see the blood pumping in his neck should have terrified her, it didn't. No, the thought she was about to lose her Danny was what she focused on.
That was when a voice came from within her, "He is ours he doesn't need to leave us, we can save him, you can save him."
And she knew what she needed to do, her jaw hurt as she leaned down towards him the movement causing him to moan in pain again, but she whispered out, "Don't worry love, it won't hurt soon enough." When she heard her voice, it didn't sound like hers it was richer almost sing song as she got closer to him the slow drumming of his heart grew deafening, 'THUMP THUMP THUMP' and a strange knot filled her stomach. A part of her wanted her to feed…feed on her brother. She started to sob saying, "What have I become?" the answer came from the voice inside her, "The only thing that can save him now."
With that she opened her mouth wide and sank her fangs into her sweet little brother's neck, she felt the sharp elongated canines piercing his flash and she wanted to throw up as she thought, "No! What am I doing." A part of her, a very primal part of her knew she could swallow the last of the life-giving fluids weakly pulsing through his body and it would be the sweetest most pleasant thing she would ever know, but another part of her that loved her brother dearly knew she could instead give him life.
That is when she felt the pulse of her own heart and felt her own life force flowing from her into her Danny. At first nothing seemed to change but suddenly his heart started to beat faster and stronger she watched in amazement as she pulled her mouth from his neck that the cuts started to seal and heal over and that his burns turned back to the smooth and normal flesh of her brother.
Her heart felt like it could stop from the pleasant surprise recovery as his breathing steadied and his complexion took on a health hew from the sickliness it had just been at deaths door just moments before. His eyes fluttered open, and she let out the pent-up breath she had been holding as she said, "Thank god!" he asked surprised, "Are you an angel?" she giggled and was about to say no when he leaned up and kissed her. This was not a kiss he should have given his sister it was inexperience but was one full of youthful passion and she pushed him away saying, "What the hell Danny?" he giggled saying, "Its not every day you get a chance to kiss and angel," before he passed out.
That is when she was able to see her own reflection on one of the panels in the tunnel. She didn't look like herself, her features had change she looked taller, slightly broader at the shoulders with a thinner longer neck, her face was more elegant some how with sharp angles higher cheekbones, her eyes instead of being blue were now deep red, and her hair it was even longer than normal and no longer red but silver. She gasped and brought her hands to her face as she seen two long fangs protruding out of her mouth and whispered, "What the fuck!" Before she was overcome with exhaustion and the world tilted as she fell next to her brother passing out, joining him the sweet abyss of unconsciousness.
