Chapter 7 - The Vampire
“Suck and slurp, yum, yum, yum. Suck and slurp, yum, yum, yum. Take a bite, suck the blood you can’t beat blood yum, yum, yum” The Vampire sings as it continues to lick its lips.
“Vampire? Hi, I am Tish, and I hear to find out what happened to all the supers that have placed within this little girl. I was wondering if you could possibly tell me how you came to be here?” Tish asks as she continues to stay beside the demon who was just starting to wake up.
“I don’t know there were whispers this way and whispers that. I think that they wanted supers. Yes whispers this way and whispers that” The vampire responds as it continues to dance around the space.
“Are all of the supers here a little left of centre and a lot right of normal?” Tish asks with a small laugh.
“Mm, maybe. Some of us haven’t come through properly or we are just reacting to our others young age, but you will find a lot of us are struggling to be what we are” The shadow responds.
“Vampire, do you know how you came to be here?” Tish asks again.
“I was going to see the God, but I came to a stop. Then with a little hop I came to the end and BAM! The light went on, then the light went off and here I sit in the dark” The Vampire says.
“You and I met before. Do you remember that Athan the Vampire God asked me to help protect you from a bad sorcery and to do that I had to go into the realm and met you. Remember you told me that you didn’t want to do anything bad and that you wanted to live with your super. How did you go from that to this and inside a little human girl” Tish asks deadpan
“You suck?” The vampire responds.
“Mm, well I am sure Athan is going to get a kick out of this when he hears that you are inside here. Now, do you remember how you got here?” Tish asks
“I was being called but I was hungry, like really hungry and then there was something that was calling me and I couldn’t stop it, and the blood was so good. It hurt but it was yummy. After a little while I woke up here with baby demon and the Shadow here telling me where we were and what this place was.” The Vampire responds.
“Do you remember the last supers that you saw? Or the last humans that you saw?” Tish asks as the demon starts to whimper and cry.
Tish watches as the Shadow bends down and picks up the whimpering and crying demon and starts to offer it comfort rocking the demon back and forth. Tish continues to watch as the Vampire stops dancing around and starts to sway back and forth making the demon sleepy and relaxed together, they manage to put the demon back to sleep.
Tish lets out a slight chuckle as she watches the two of them working together as a team as them settle the demon and then places it back on the floor to sleep.
“What?” Tish asks as she notices both the Shadow and the Vampire staring at her.
“Nothing much, but I am just shocked at how well you work together. I have only seen this twice in my lifetime” Tish responds as they continue to look at her life she is growing a second head.
“Who”
“Where”
Come the responses as they continue to all stare at one another.
“Well, the Gods and Goddesses are all very much like this they are they own supers, but they think and act as a unit their friendship is strong so strong. The other is a group of young children they are all born to different supers and as soon as they met, they act like they have known each other for a lifetime already. That was just after one meeting, but I can’t imagine what it is going to be like when they continue to get to know each other, and they cement their bond together.” Tish says as she stares at the Shadow and the vampire.
“You know nothing, and no one said that we all couldn’t get along.” The Vampire says
“The Phoenix did a lot of good things for all supers but at the same time it was also made worse. Especially with the King and Queen just being announced” A voice comes from the back of the room.
“Run now” The vampire says before speeding off in the opposite direction.
“Say as little as possible” The Shadow whispers to Tish.
“Scavenger, what are you doing here?” The shadow asks as it moves in front of the demon and Tish.
“I came to see who was disturbing the mischief that I could be causing and guess what here I find you talking to an outsider” The Scavenger growls as it points at Tish.
“I am allowed to talk to anyone and at the end of the day you can go take a flying leap” The Shadow growls back.
As the Scavenger and the Shadow continue to face off against each other the Scavenger takes a slight step back before turning around and walking away not before yelling
“This isn’t the end of this conversation Shadow”
“I see scavenger still hates you Shadow” Vampire responds as it walks back to them.
“Yes it does seem that way” The Shadow responds quietly.
“Do you remember anything else about how you came to be here?” Tish asks the Vampire.
“The only thing that I remember was that when I was handed to the doctor in the human realm I swear that I heard your majesty” The Vampire responds
“Thank you Vampire” Tish responds
“Well, of course the new King and Queen are the cause of this” A new voice mutters as a beautiful six foot tall woman walks into the our group.
“What do you mean?” Tish asks
“Well its not like they are good” The woman replies.
