Bloodlust: Chapter 2 (Vamp) The vampire had been waiting for this for a long time. Before his transformation, he’d been just another lowly mortal, named Daniel for those who were curious. And in every day of that existence, the anger coursed through his body. Anger at the world, anger at all the people he saw, anger at the position his life was in. He reacted to every adversity by taking it as a personal slight and he reacted through violence, leaving him isolated from everyone else. The only thing that gave him pleasure were his dreams, dreams where he was king and all who did not bend to his will were violently destroyed, dreams where he had everything he wanted and slaves who catered to his every whim. Those dreams were especially hard to make true, but he knew of a way to make it all happen. His studies, as he liked to call them, of the black arts has shown him the way to his paradise. He had searched for what he needed and yesterday, when he finally found it, he saw that it was even close to home. He thought he’d have to search all over the world, but what he needed was near Washington. It would only take him an hour or two to get down to Maryland, and then down near the Chesapeake River lay his prize. The vampire smiled as he thought back this had only been his first night as a vampire, but it had been incredible. It was just past nine when Daniel came upon the old man living in the cave near the beach of the Chesapeake. He watched as the withered old thing caught a rat, sliced its gut open, and drained its blood. When the old man finished up, Daniel entered the cave. “Having some supper old man?” Daniel asked. “Get out of here...” the man said in a low but sharp voice, an obviously European accent present in his speech. “I can’t,” Daniel replied, “Not until you give me what I want.” “And what might that be. I don’t have any money or possessions for you to steal. There is nothing for you here.” “Oh I think you know what I want, old man, and I think you’re going to give it to me.” The old man looked up at Daniel with a mixture of bemusedness and weariness in his eyes. “So someone has finally found me. You don’t want it...” “Oh but I do,” Daniel replied, “I want it very badly. You’ve squandered your gift. Look at you, you could be a master of the universe but instead you sit here eating rats for your supper. You’re a wrinkled disgrace.” “You think you know everything,” the old man said, a trail of the rat’s blood dribbling down his chin, “But you don’t want this. You should leave before I lose patience with you and deprive you of that screwed up head of yours.” “You’re hardly in a position to dictate terms,” Daniel said, his rage growing. “Now I came here for something and I am going to get it from you! Why are you even fighting with me, look at the way you live. This is pathetic. You-” Daniel was quickly silenced by the old man who put a claw to his throat. “You talk too much,” the old man angrily hissed, “I live here as penance! I have taken away so much life, I am now forced to spend the rest of mine in isolation, depriving myself of the human blood I once feasted on. I have chosen to punish myself and seek forgiveness from God for the evil I have done. I shall not let some child like yourself interrupt me as I make peace with my God.” The old man then bared his ancient fangs and grasped Daniel by the neck. “You cannot want this! I will not allow you to take my curse for yourself!” “You know old man,” Daniel said as he broke away from the old man’s grasp and threw him to the ground, “You don’t have much choice. Your time is over, mine is just about to begin.” With that Daniel slammed his fist into the old man’s chest and broke through the thin skin. He grasped the old vampire’s heart and pulled it out . As he did this, the man’s body began to shudder and after he gurgled words in a language Daniel couldn’t understand, the man’s body dissolved to dust. “I hope you made your peace old man,” Daniel said as he held the still beating heart in his hand, “You were too weak for this life anyway.” Daniel then proceeded to take the heart and, without any hesitation or concern, shoved it into his mouth and ate it in its entirety. Almost as soon as he finished, Daniel was hit by a series of violent spasms and he collapsed to the ground. He began to vomit a type of dark red goo that seemed to resemble a type of gelatinous blood. Daniel’s eyes rolled back into his head and he began to scream at the top of his lungs as every cell in his body was hit with an unimaginable type of pain. Then just when it seemed as though the pain wouldn’t stop, Daniel felt a type of explosion go off in his body and the pain roared through him for one final time before he died. But even as Daniel’s mortal life ended, his immortal one was beginning. His body began to levitate in the air where it was soon covered in an unholy type of glow. Anyone who happened to be standing on the beach that night would have suddenly felt a huge gust of wind come roaring through as Daniel suddenly regained consciousness and proceeded to let out a tremendous scream that seemed to resonate for miles. The gust of wind hit him and he fell to the ground having become more a snarling beast than human. His fingers had twisted into huge claws, his fangs were distended from his mouth like knives, and his eyes had become blood red. At that moment a bum whose drunken sleep a few sand dunes over had been interrupted by the noise, arrived to investigate. He was very pissed at the source of that noise since it had awoken him from that dream he loved where The Queen of The Nile had made him her personal attendant. As he looked into the cave and saw the beast that stood within it, he barely had enough time to begin his scream before Daniel pounced upon him and ripped off his head with his claw. The severed head landed somewhere near the corner of the cave, the man’s mouth frozen in an eternal scream. As a gusher of blood poured out from the man’s neck the vampire began to drink from it, feeling his strength return with every droplet he swallowed. Soon the vampire had ripped open the man’s entire body and feasted on whatever he could. When he was finished the vampire looked more human and as the blood poured through his veins, Daniel’s face and body returned to their normal state. His fangs disappeared into his mouth, the claws became fingers again, and the red eyes returned to Daniel’s natural baby blues. As Daniel sat in the cave he felt the effects of the blood and the transformation and the pleasure they both brought him. He had been seeking this change for so long and now that it had finally occurred, it did not disappoint. Now he had attained the powers to make his wildest fantasies come true, it was all within his reach now. There was nothing to be denied him now. Those who had scorned him and ignored him in the past would get down on their hands and knees to beg for him to let them worship him like a God. He decided that it was time to test some more of those powers and as he began to concentrate on the task of flight, his body began to levitate off the ground until he has floating above the sand dunes. “Enough of these baby steps,” Daniel muttered and soon with a mighty rush of air, he flew up into the night sky at a tremendous speed. The cold wind whipped across his face as he flew, but Daniel didn’t feel any of its effect. However, as he flew back to Washington he began to feel a guttural rumbling in his stomach and soon his body was overtaken by a tremendous, driving thirst. He reasoned that the change must have taken more out of him than he originally thought because the dead man’s blood should have been enough to satisfy him. As he neared his city, Daniel felt the thirst drive harder than ever. He landed down with a sudden drop on a near empty city street. He looked around, the thirst compelling him to find sustenance, and he spotted an all night diner. His new super eye sight allowed him to see a beautiful waitress working inside and Daniel quickly felt his fangs extend as he licked his lips. Perhaps he could take care of two cravings at once he thought to himself as he felt his cock begin to grow hard. After all a master vampire would need a family of slave vampires, didn’t he. Daniel walked toward the diner, almost giddy with anticipation. This was going to be so sweet...
