Vampire's Babe

by Karensa Minett

  “Don’t worry Agatha,I’m here to strike a deal,I will set you free if you can coax your,um,sister to,to,uh,its so awkward,to love me.”he said sitting on a chair.Troy was like a robot by his side but Crystal she had her freedom,she sat on top of an old cabinet,giving me goosebumps,her tongue circled her lips while she looked at me hungrily,what on earth did she want?.

  I could not help it,she was playing with my mind,there was only word that echoed in my ears and that was Crystal,Crystal...

  Ronaldo understood it within few minutes and he broke in between, snapping angrily at her, “get out.Now.”She did not look happy,her eyes were more annoyed than ever but her tongue still worked over her lips,I was terrified.

  “Ignore her.”his voice brought me back to the current conversation.I stared at him for a long time, “Ah..Is she normal,why is she staring at me like that,does her brains work,or its just with the entire...”

  “Excuse me.”I shouted

  “A rational behavior.”added Troy grinning at me.

  “Who the hell are you?.Why are you torturing us?,why the hell have you captured Ruth?,why do you keep hurting her?.”

  I wanted the answers,he was just in front of me,I had no strength left in body to pull myself up forget about crushing his neck. “Oh my god Agatha you too.”he laughed.

  “You too what?.”

  “Have the same temper.”he waited and pulled his nose up as though trying to smell something, “so close to her but she has more beautiful and intoxicating fragrance.I have been such a mess,been hard without her,I feel so comfortable now.”

  He laughed again,I was disgusted,before I could bombarded him he continued gravely, “she loves you,its been very hard to admit but she does,I honestly wanted to kill you when you were just a toddler but every time I tried, it backfired,she protects you unconditionally,been a mystery to me ever since.”

  He waited for me to take the information in,the craziness in his eyes were so obvious to read,Ruth was all over him, “Wrong,its Miyana not Ruth.”

  “I don’t know any female named Miyana,I only know Ruth.”I spat with so much of anger and hatred in each word.He was annoyed could see it in his eyes but he managed to mask it again. “My fault,you should know everything before you convince her,the entire truth,the entire story,story of Baltia.”

  He gave Troy again a meaningful look,he nodded. “Feed her first otherwise my wife will kick me hard.”there was some sorrow easily visible in his voice,what was he and why did he love her so much.

  “What would you like to have?.”questioned Troy.

  “Your neck.”I snapped.

  “A weakling like you,not in this life.Anything to eat?.”

  “Die in hell.”

  He laughed and left me in the same dingy room,only one window was visible from where I sat,I was at my wits end there was no way I could escape,mixbreeds,I hated all of them.My mind was racing back to Jill’s crying face and then to Kim who was showing no sign of life.I wanted them so badly,my voice was just stuck in my throat.

  Few minutes later Troy entered my room,he had a tray in his hand,placing it on the only available table in the room,he ordered me to eat.I glared at him,he did the same.He held the back of my neck in his strong hands crushing as he pleased.

  “I am not a softy like Ronaldo,my girl has to do what I want her to do,are we being clear Aagi,is it sinking?.”he demanded. “Let me go you leech.”I shrieked. “Come on Aagi,are you hungry ‘cause I am hungry too,my hunger is different,you know what I mean don’t you?.”.I was terrified,never seen Troy like this,his eyes were giving me creeps,they were just like Ronaldo and Ruth but there was more to them, anger,lust and something surely beyond my comprehension.

  “Let go...please..”I begged,his nails were cutting my soft skin and blood already marked my white shirt.

  “Are you...”he trailed.

  “Yes.”I choked.

  “Good girl.Start.”

  Without giving it a second thought I was munching on whatever was laid in front of me on the table,I did sniff a lot,not forgetting how he made me feel,so vulnerable and insecure,a weakling. “Stop thinking will you?.”he snapped and I dropped the glass.His wand swished and everything was intact and in place.

  “Can you read my thoughts?.”I asked.

  “Ever since you were born,strange and true,its not a myth with us but we can hear and manipulate our mates thinking process.Been a while since I actually fell for a girl after my wife died.”he answered.

  “You are married?.”

  “Yes.”

  “To who?.”

  “Why does it matter,she is dead and you are going to be my bride,simple.”

  “What makes you think that?.”

  “Everything,the given scenario,Mi..ah..Ruth and Ronaldo’s extremely possessive nature.We are made for each other like they are made for one another.He brought her back,never allowed her soul to escape even when she died.What do you know about them?,you call her sister,what do you know about her?,the garbage that she threw was no where close to reality,do you even know what she is capable of,have the slightest idea about him,how the most powerful Miyana is his life,what do you know Agatha?.”

  “Nothing.”I answered mutely.

  “So true.”he agreed.

  “Then tell me.”I tried and he smiled, “Sure, with pleasure.”

  He picked up a book,I could read the title very clearly,it was the same book which Chris had suggested,Stories of Baltia.He came back to my mind,while Troy was sitting on the stool I sobbed involuntarily, “what now?.”he barked, “What did you do to Chris and Kim?.”

  “Kim is an imagery.”he sighed.

  “What is an Imagery?.”

  “A reflection of a..”he waited trying to analyze my wounded eyes “a..a..mixbreed,we are capable of being present in more than one place at the same time.Kim is an imagery of Tisha,she is Chris’s girlfriend.The Chris that you saw,it was me,wearing his face.The real Chris is having fun with his girl,you never met him once,he is with real Kim,they are getting married tomorrow, that is why Kim or her imagery had to die.So she can marry as a whole mixbreed.”he answered truly annoyed as though he was explaining to a second grader.

  “You are lying.”

  “No I’m not.”

  “How could you be present in two places and then you were mad at me for snogging publicly,you...”he did cut me sharply, “the science of imagery is wonderful,an imagery is easily influenced by its mates needs.Believe me,I wanted to do it to you but my imagery was doing the needful,it just sucked,after all its not complete me is it?.”

  “What about Jill and others,they must be freaking out by now.”

  “Don't worry with Chris’s death,Jill is going to trace out the truth which will lead her ultimately to our den,Miya..oh sorry,Ruth loves the others as well,Ronaldo was happy when he got married to her and agreed to spare your lives but after marriage she is not showing any healthy signs,so change of plans,we need all four of you.”

  “How dare you,how could you...”I shouted holding him by his collar,he loved it,his hands were already inside my shirt feeling my skin,I wanted to pull away,but he did not allow me to,pinning me in the center of bed,Troy was right in between my thighs,no voice escaped my throat,my entire body was moving at his touch.

  “Easy Aagi,do you remember now,I can play with you anytime,you like it or not.”he threatened.

  “Sorry..”I wailed.

  “Good girl.Don’t worry I will tame your temper like I did your body.”

  The moment he was away from me I pulled myself to the far corner of the bed, my eyes were accusing but he laughed more,pulling me in his arms, “Come on Aagi just one or two kiss here and there does not mean I was about to..you know.Relax,I know it must be difficult for you to take into this body and face,I am not that inconsiderate but I’m not as Ronaldo either,I won’t allow you to be my weakness.Are we clear Aagi,are you getting me?.”

  I nodded,shivering in his cold grip,not trusting him at all,his eyes were penetrating sharp,
I could easily see that he wanted me so bad,his lustful eyes were tearing my frail frame.Without a second thought he pushed me over the bed,taking his seat on the stool.

  “So should I continue or do you have anymore questions for me?.”

  “Kim...”

  “Kim was always a..a..mixbreed,she knows you and loves Mi..ah..Ruth.Ronaldo wouldn't leave her unsupervised,he is not that,he is so possessive about her,never seen anybody controlling him the way she does,she actually brings the worst in him,I don’t know what to say,have you seen him when he is around her,she just kills him now and then,Jacob..ah..Ronaldo is unbelievable.There was a time when I wanted to be like him but now there is no way I am falling for the same,he is good at many things but in matters of heart,she rules,he is her slave.That won’t be our case by the way,I rule,now and ever.”he said,his eyes watching me like a hawk,I gulped my fear,my dead senses were working again,I had to know what was all this about.It was easy for him to read, “Once I tell you about how it started and how he got....”he ignored my eyes,I was crying,missing Jill and others.

  “Stop crying sweetheart,it sucks.”he snapped.

  “Sorry..I cannot stop.I want to go home.I just want to go home with Ruth.”I sobbed.

  “This is not happening.I would allow,I’m comfortable living anywhere,till you are by my side but Ja..Ronaldo,no that guy will not agree to this.He will not allow Ruth to go..you don’t even know...”

  “Then tell me.”I screamed

  “It all starts from a king who was nothing close to a vampire but had all his qualities,he was a beast,born to the dark and brought up by malice,not until he fell in love with a human.Human with extra ordinary powers of the occult science.That is when he was born again as the king of his magical kingdom known as Baltia.”

  King Auguaten

  “The book sucks.”he frowned throwing it in a corner. “Don’t worry I will tell you the entire story and you can ask questions as you please,just don’t cut me when I show you my hand.Okay.”

  “I nodded.”

  “Fine,so here it goes...”

  “Once upon a blood moon,there was a boy,he was like any ordinary person should be but when he was adopted by another king he became a priced position to one and all.He enjoyed the lap of luxury even after his father’s death.There were many women who wanted to marry him but one day he saw her,the love of his life.She was just in front of him but he could not touch her and even she could not see him,it was then he understood that he was a king but a different one,his story, he himself did not remember,for the first time all the riches and wealth did not make him happy,he was lost in his thought process,when he was just a kid why had the king picked him up to be his successor.The women he loved was different from the rest,she used to practice occult science,destiny was waiting to open the hidden door,which had his fate sealed in it.He tried again but still no luck favored him,something told him that the world he lived in was not normal,they were strange and powerful,he needed someone to tell him the origin of the same.A person who was deft in occult art,she was the one but how could he communicate with her,it was so difficult for him,finally one day a brilliant idea came his way,it was through a stone statue,she had him in front of her and he wanted to make her aware of his presence,he was a ghost,no he couldn’t be,he had flesh and bones,a complete body of his own,he was definitely not a ghost,then who was he?.

  She was so terrified when things in her house moved on their own and then she was actually able to see the the statue talking to her.She was willing to help him,she did sense someone’s presence for a long time.He was happy at least he won’t be in a maze of unknown.

  “So you say that the king picked you up,you are definitely not a ghost and I cannot see you but you followed me since you had a huge crush on me,your father is the right person to answer all your questions but he is dead.Great.”she quipped,sitting just like the stone statue,her face was pulled in a strange humorous line,he wanted to laugh and he did trying to bring her back to her senses.

  So as the plan was,his father’s soul did talk to him,he said “I thought you would never come out of that palace my boy.”

  He could see him in front of his eyes but she couldn’t though her hands were in his hand,she could surely feel his touch.

  “Who are you people?.”she asked and his father answered slowly.

  “We are Lunatis, born as any human, but we do not die the same,the moon favors us,we just change bodies,this body which is gifted is not easily visible to the naked eye,we have unbelievable gifts,some of them are developed over time and some remain hidden till your existence,we die when we want to,the human body that we leave behind is a body without our soul but it is the most prized possession of our being.It has our memories and blessings of loved ones,it should always be protected,it will not rot like the others but many dark entities can misuse it,one such misuse is using its power to take another’s life.Once a pure soul is lost by its hand the lunati,who the body belonged to suffers the same curse as did his victim.”

  With that said the old king disappeared and his son waited so did the women.Mustering all his courage he voiced again, “I wish to marry you.”

  She fainted,he did not expect that but he sighed heavily,lying just besides her.With time both grew fond of each other,finally she said yes and the moment she did he was visible to her,he loved her and he did the same till his last breath,nobody till date knows why he abandoned her to die in a strange land away from him or why did she keep loving him in spite of his wrong doings.Their love was unconditional, not bound to be like it had to be,love was just love and hatred had no room in it,not even when things did not go that well for both of them.

  The king grew old and many others came forward for his throne,he could easily see the evil in their eyes and nature.His kingdom was not safe and nor was his life.It is then he heard about his daughter,the human child born to his first and last love, Miyana.His old legs could not move but his tired eyes and painful heart wanted to see her, just once before he died.

  “He who wins her shall have my throne.”he declared and many suitors who were eager to claim the throne set their foot to find her.One such evil man was Mudrox, born to the king as his dark imagery,he had a friend and his sister was his love of life,they both were evil and manipulative in nature, not gifted at all like many other lunati’s, in fact at that very moment it was discovered that once your human body was abandoned it could be haunted and possessed by evil spirits,darker the power more powerful the lunati,many who were still hungry for power did corrupt their own body,the women who he was in love with was the same,her name was Crystal.

  She coaxed her brother to do the same,they fed on blood,not just ordinary blood but they sucked it from people who were gifted and talented,who had precise knowledge of occult arts.

  One day as they were hunting they came across an island where people were busy celebrating.It was a feast night,the king of that land was happy because he had a newborn in his family.Hungry as ever the three lunatis arrived at the feast,Mudrox and Crystal feasted as well, so did the other lunati,his name was Jacob.

  Jacob could not help his sensitive ears because the music that blended in the air was something he had never heard before,he tried to concentrate on his victim,the women who he had managed to seduce and take to the darkest corner,she was in his arms and he gladly bit her neck sucking her delicious blood,talented tarot card reader could not avoid her fate,she did fail to see the same.Jacob tried hard to ignore the music but he just couldn’t,it was hypnotic,calling him again and again.He walked where it came from,there was a women in between playing the violin,everybody was glued to her notes,they were happy and at peace.He felt the same.His eyes were a little unhappy,the women who was in front was just like any ordinary one,she was gifted though,but he did not like her,her music was soothing he felt at peace.He waited like the rest listening to her,she looked at him and smiled,he avoided her eyes and she smiled more widely.

  “You play good.”

  “Thank you.You new to
this place?.”

  “Yes.”

  “Whats your name?.”

  “Jacob.And yours..”

  “My name is Mi..”

  “Come on Jacob we are getting late.”barked Mudrox.

  “Time to go.”he laughed.

  “Will I see you again.”

  “Unless you want to die.”

  “You have already killed me.”she laughed advancing closer to him,he backed away just in time.

  “Nice try but honestly you don’t match my taste.”he said pulling away from her.

  “How do you know,you haven’t tasted me yet.”she flirted.

  “Get yourself a man.”he said turning away.

  “That’s what I was trying.”she smiled watching him as he shrugged and broke into a wild run.She smiled at herself and got busy packing her instruments.He did stop to look at her,she was ordinary but the air that she carried was definitely extra-ordinary,hard to confess but he loved the way she tried to flirt with him.Her most beautiful feature were her large breast and thick lips.He laughed, imagining biting her where her flesh smelled great just below the line of beauty.Those lips,well he was very creative,laughing now and then on his ideas and the imaginative blood that dripped down them.He would give it a try once, after all she did flirt with him,didn’t she?,it was an official invitation.

  Once they arrived at the palace Mudrox fumed. “What is it?.”demanded Crystal, “Its him,he still refuses to give up his life and pathetic hope.”

  “Still counting on his daughter.”laughed Jacob tossing an apple piece in his mouth.

  “Brother you should stop eating garbage,this won’t help you...”
