1137 AD.
I wiped the blood off my chin after I dropped the last body to the ground. We had destroyed a whole village again. I, my mother, and Solomon. It was becoming a habit now, and I felt if we continued going at this rate, we could wipe out the entire human race.
We had been slaughtering villages, week after week, trying to subsidize the demonic hunger that raged within us. Suzana had told us the hunger would be gruesome, but the way we ate had passed the expectation we had in mind. We were brutal, heartless, and with no emotions. The only thing that ran constantly in our heads was the bloodlust.
Philomena, my mother, turned and looked at us. Her chin was dripped with blood, and her long scarlet hair fell to her waist. I looked like a replica of her,
I followed them on the chariot to the castle. Some guards were waiting there too. It seemed like the whole palace was expecting us. I gulped hard, realizing that we had drawn more attention to ourselves than expected.A man came out from the castle and walked down the stairs gently. He was the king. I got down from the horse and opened the chariot, and Mother walked out with Solomon. She looked completely startled too."You wanted to blend in. Here you go, Lady Victoria, I said in my mind."Watch your tongue, Desmond. Do not forget I was the one that conceived you! She replied ruthlessly.I chuckled slowly."Lady Victoria!" The king exclaimed as he came.
I didn't expect to see her. I thought she was gone forever. I thought she had been caught by the vampire hunter and staked to death. I didn't expect her to be standing at my door and pretending like she cared about me. She was dead to me. I could never forgive her for what she had done to me. Never."What are you doing here?" I asked rudely."I see you have not changed a bit, Desmond," she commented."Do not push me, Philomena. What do you want?" I asked again.She sighed. She should have known how she would be treated if she ever came closer to us. She had abandoned us at that castle and had fled since then. She had never shown her face until today."I cam
*** A knock came on the door, and I got downstairs quickly. The last time I opened the door for someone, it was the woman I used to call Mother. She had expected me to forgive her. She didn't know that I was still so cold-hearted. I opened the door, and it revealed Jocelyn with Zion. I used to see them together every time. Didn't they ever get tired of being with each other at every second of each day? It was completely strange to me. "We finally found a spell to destroy the stake," Jocelyn announced. I smiled broadly. Finally, we could get rid of the stake forever. I had tried to destroy it by incineration, but it didn't work. I forgot that Suzana made it and couldn't be destroyed that easily.
I stood on Hope's lawn, glad I could finally be free with her. She was finally mine, and I was hers as well. We both made that possible with the sex we had. Though I didn't feel it was right, I was glad we had done it. Her lips were so soft and enticing. I closed my eyes, and the feeling returned.I walked up to the porch afterward and knocked on the door. The door opened, revealing her. She was dressed in a big sweater with a hood and a pair of shorts which seemed to have been covered by the sweater. Her hair was tied back into a ponytail. Overall, she looked beautiful."Desmond?" She called. "Come inside. It's snowing heavily."I smiled and moved into the house. I realized that she was the only person that could take me out of my gloomy mood. My mother was back yesterday,
I sat back on the couch with a glass of alcohol in my hand. It had been two days since Hope told me to turn her into a vampire. I couldn't do such a thing for many reasons. One of which her soul would be sold to the king of hell. He was waiting for me to return. I knew it. And I knew I would someday because I was already destined for hell. The only thing I could do now was ensure I delayed a lot before returning there.I sipped from the glass and stared at the television that was just brought in. Our whole lives, we had never sat back to watch tv - except when I watched a program at Hope's house - or possessed one. So, I didn't need much guessing to know that my mother was behind this. I felt like she was brainwashing Solomon because she knew he would do anything she asked of him.She was using him, and he would not listen if I told
***Philomena and Solomon sat together, laughing as they looked at his phone. I had come downstairs because of their noise. I was trying to have some sleep, but my super-hearing kept on sweeping their laughter into my head. I stood behind them noiselessly. I was angry when I found out that they were watching cat videos."You two can bring the stars down with your laughter," I announced from behind them."Sorry, Desmond," Philomena apologized. "Solomon was just showing me some hilarious videos."She brought the phone to my face. I bent backwards and squinted."Here, watch," she said, smiling.
"You never cease to amaze me, Desmond," Solomon said as we got home.My head spun from the alcohol, and the fast trip back home didn't help matters. I had finally caught up with Oliver, and he had paid the price for thinking he could play me. I had ripped his heart from his chest and watched his body turn white. His cup had filled up, and he had paid."I do the things that I do for a living, brother," I said.Solomon chuckled."You are one drunk bastard," he said."I am not drunk," I pointed out.We stepped on the porch, and Solomon moved ahead of me to open the door. He got in, and I moved in afte
***Hope's closet was more crampy than I had expected because the clothes stacked in there were plenty. If I were still human, I probably would have suffocated by now. Her room was quiet as she lay still on her bed with the lights out. I was in her closet for about an hour now, and the vampire still didn't arrive.I got bored and got out of the closet. She sighed and popped out her sheets. She had a disappointed look on her face that came with a smirk. Though she was ill, she was still so beautiful."This isn't going to work," she pointed out."Patience, darling," I said."We have been patient for over an hour now," she reminded. "And nobo
