Chapter two

I don’t remember what happened after that, next thing I new I was on my back in the same room on the stone table, my stomach hurt and I had a strange feeling in me, I got up and looked at my self, I was naked and I was pale white, my hair that daggled from my head felt like it was not a part of me. I don’t know how to explain it, it was like your five senses were dulled like they were missing some parts. I got up, Walked around the room, stumbling as I went like I forgot how to walk. I banged on the door and a...um.. Another one like me answered the door, I could feel it. He left quickly and came back with Zephon. They rapped me in a blanket and lead me to my room. My room as I said when I entered it my old weapons of choice were on the table and black dragon skin armor was on the bed. Funny when I looked at the bed I did not feel the least bit of sleep in my system, I hear that vampire don’t sleep then why did I have a bed?
I put on the armor and weapons. My weapons fit exactly were they were supposed to. The throwing knives in the leg slits, the sword to my back slot and two daggers up each sleeve I looked in the mirror and found I looked good, then just out of random I walked closer to it and pulled up my lips, there nestled between my incisors and molar teeth were my fangs they grew to a little shorter then a inch so that about one fourth of it grew passed my other teeth. I closed my mouth, this ment I would have to kill for food, and I would have to drink blood.
I left my room and zephon lead me to a room with gutter system running though it, which carried blood.
“As one of us you must drink or that pain in your stomach will grow worse until you go crazy and eventually die.” Zephon took a cup dipped it in to the gutter and gave it to me. At first I was hesitant then some thing deep in side of me made it look appealing I took the cup and licked the blood dripping off of it. It was good like fresh cold water except it tasted better warm. I gulped the cup down the pain in my stomach seemed to dull. I asked for another and then another I did not stop till I was on my fourth when I could not drink anymore.
Zephon laughed and he and the others lead me to the “work room” It was big. It had a large desk which papers were scattered on and picture of lot of different things in one area of the room was tons and tons of drawing and sketches of various inventions of plans for inventions.
He sat me down in a chair and began taking about the dangers to the vampire body in a big scientific way. Most of this I new, hell I killed vampires. I new what killed them, in fact I used some of these weaknesses to torture them for information often. Most of the times on where they had their hidden bases. Water is the worst, next to sunlight and fire. And much of this I did not listen to.
“…So stay out of the sun light and stay in the shade and wear a hood if you stay in the sunlight too long you will begin to decay in a very painful way. And never ever say where you came from to any one always say some thing like I come from the far northern high lands since no one has been there they most often don’t know that the people look like there. And when ever you feed on somebody always hide the body, we don’t want anyone to know we are here…”
“Why did you make me your lieutenant?” I asked interrupting him.
Zephon seemed shocked at the question.
“Well unlike my other brethren I am smart, I know that this war with the humans will die. One day and it will be just us, Vampire and vampire.”
“ Impossible and even if it does come true. it is still far far away”
“Yes, but now I have a smart experienced lieutenant other then just some slave I hand picked to make my first born. I go for the best, some one who knows how the vampire slayer works; all my lieutenants were once vampire slayers. Although most don’t know that, except for you. And that concerns me.”
“Why”
“Well, now that you are a vampire you may think of killing me, lost of loyalty now that you may think you could avenge what I have done to you. But let me warn you if I die from your hands I have some special orders for some of my men to be carried out. I bet you know what they are.”
“Yeah, I think I know, but if so why did you let me remember my past”
“Well, if I killed you with such a strong bond to your family, you would not work most effectively as the others and all that time I wasted on studying you would be wasted”
“Fine then, now that I am a vampire. My life is lost, I have no where to go but watch my past, leave my old family alone and I will except you as my new family, I may not like it but I will live it.” I said finally giving in to him.
“I believe what you say, but still I will keep my special orders for my men, just in case.”
“Fine”
“Ok, then my orders for you is to…”
“I want to see my family first” I interrupted him.
“Fine you may see them on your way there. Your orders are to scout out the plains for vampire slayer movement. Since you know were all of them move you will know were to look,” he walked up to a table, which had lots of strange inventions and stuff.
“Here” he said handing men a strange object “it’s call a binoculars for seeing a good healthy distance away, I wouldn’t want to find you dead in thought field now would I”
“How do they work?”
“You put these small circles to your eyes, and look in the right direction”
He grabbed a paper from his desk and handed it too me, it was a map of the county side, and then he handed me a red ink feather pen.
“When you get there you mark the trails they are moving on and then return it to me.”

“By carriage, too night when it is dark you and I will head to the city and get some slaves as well as a horse and some other clothing, men and stuff.”
The lead me to the carriage and I got in.
He handed me a leather hood and cape.
“Wear it if your skin starts to burn” he said closing the door.
It was dark, but I could see clear a day light, some ware during the ride. Told the driver to stop. I got out the sun seemed twenty times hotter then before, and it made my skin sizzle a bit. I tuned to the drive. He was different. He was not a vampire.
“Are you a vampire?" I asked him doubting my instinct.
“No, I am a human” he answered
“Slave?”
“No, I give my services for no reason but to serve the higher powers”
“You will serve us because we are stronger?”
“I am gratefully sorry if I angered you sir”
“No, I’m fine, I was just wondering”
“You should not stay in the sun to long”
“Yeah, I want you to stop at the town that is the closest to the fishing creek” I said as I got in.
“Yes, sir”
Some time later we stopped,
“We are here sir”
I looked out of the carriage, the town was quite but there were still a lot of people wandering around, some I knew.
“Go down one of the back roads to the grave yard “ I said.
I did not want to be noticed, and the graveyard was as close as I would get to my house.
Once we stopped again I looked out again, there was a fresh grave next to my fathers, label Niccolie Lehethess II, may he rest in piece.
“Umm…servant.... uh… what’s your name?”
“It’s Marcus”
“Marcus, go ask some one how long has Niccolie been dead.” I said getting out of the carriage and putting on the hood, he left and I walked in to the graveyard and kneeled next to my father’s grave.
“Forgive Me,” I whispered to it.
Then I got up, and walked behind the graveyard and through the orchard of olive trees that lead to behind my house. I hid behind one as I got closer to my home and peered over it. I saw them through the open window
My wife was holding Karie in her arms and stroking her hair, it seemed as if she was dead but then she let out a cry.
“They are morning my death” I thought and decided to let them be, all I care was that they were alive. I moved through the olive trees back to the grave yard, I suddenly noticed some thing I didn’t before, I moved a lot more fast then before. Almost. Twice …three time my original speed. I guess there are some advantages being a vampire.
