The Ultimate Vampire Resource and Directory

My eyes flashed open. I was in a huge room filled with books, candles and hand painted pictures on canvas.

"You are afraid. Why? I will not hurt you, you know this."

"Y-Yes Mother" I stammered.

"You are hungry, yes?"

"Yes, M-Mother. I am. My master has not yet fed me yet. He w-wanted me to meet you first." Did i just say master? Wow.

"I see. You must feed. Come, follow me. I will lead you to your first meal. You may feed anywhere you choose but mainly the neck is preferred. Do you remember how Davey fed upon you?"

I fought the urge to rub my neck where Davey had 'feasted upon' me. "I do not believe so, Mother. I'm not sure how to go about the whole feeding thing." How did she know about Davey?

Her eyes lit up with excitement at the thought. "please allow me to instruct you." Thick red circles formed around her eyes as she looked toward a group of men sitting around a campfire.

"Mother?" I asked in a small voice i did not recognize. "Why must we feed upon humans? Why not animals or synthetic blood?"

"Because, my child, we have always survived on humans and humans alone. It is the way it has always been done, my child."

"That's cool, i guess." I sighed.

"Is that not pleasing to you?"

"I don't know. I guess i'm still used to being human. Mother? Why must we hide in the shadows? Why are we not known to the world and the rulers of it? we are stronger than any human man. why not take it over?"

"You see those men? You want them, yes?"

my mouth began to water and my stomach grumbled before i could respond. Mother laughed and i smiled sheepishly.

"I will show you how. Watch me. Do as i do, but wait until i give you the okay." Mother slowly walked over towards the men before i could respond. She began talking to a man. after a while she grabbed his hand and let him towards the sandy part of the beach. She pointed at me, then at the campfire and i heard her voice in my head.

"Go over there, my child. Arouse one of the males and lead him off. When you get him away from the fire, follow me.

I did as i was told and followed Mother to the near by sandy side of the beach with, my new found feast, Tom. As Mother was lading me further she turned around and smiled.

"You know what to do?" she asked, still smiling.

"Yes Mother."

"You know how to do it?"

"Yes mother."

"Then do so. Don't be too messy."

"Yes mother."

"What're you guys talking about?" The mans words slurred together. I thought i was gonna get laid."

Mother smiled and said "Don't worry Brad, you will. I promised." She kissed him hungrily moving ever so slowly towards his neck.

I flinched and turned to Tom as mother's teeth sunk into Brad's neck with a sickening tearing sound. I glanced at Tom's face knowing i must do the same. I hadn't noticed he was pulling desperately at my hand.

"Let me go!"he tried to pull harder. "Somebody help me! Please! Somebody HELP!"

Mother's head jerked back and Brad's body fell to the ground with a muffled thump. "Your turn my daughter." Blood slowly dripped down her chin. Her eyes were completely bloodshot. her irises were black. There was some sort of light, very small but still there, in the back of her pupils.

At first, i kind of starred at her wondering whether to bite into my dinner, well breakfast or not. Without knowing, my instincts took over. I smiled at Tom and let go of his hand, causing him to fly to the ground and break his left wrist. he let out a blood curdling scream and ran towards the water.

"Mother smiled and said "Go on my child. Remember, not too messy." her smile widened in to a grin showing her bloody fangs.

I turned and looked at Tom. He was about thirty yard away. Give or take a few.I smiled enjoying the chase, i ran swiftly and silently. I came up behind him and picked him up and somehow floated several feet in the air. I knew exactly what to do. As i sunk my teeth into his neck, his blood rushed into my mouth filling me with his blood, his warmth, his life. Now all mine. I opened my eyes and Mother's grin grew wider and wider by the second. Tom grasped my shirt as a last resort trying to get me off. Ha! His feeble attempts made me want to laugh. I held him close, trying to get every last drop of him into me. I held him close. Closer. Closer still.

Mother tapped on my shoulder. "If you drink every drop it will pull you in and you will share in his fate. you will surely die. Never drink the last drop." I dropped Tom at this and looked at his mangled body, lying there ever so lifeless. So still. So cold. "Admire your work." I heard Mother say. "It is what defines you to the world. I smiled as i looked down at Tom. "Come daughter, let us leave and go back to my mansion. There we will sleep until day has passed."

"Why must we leave? Oh!" I looked down at my hands then back at Mother, her smile had been replaced by a look of remorse.

"I am sorry my daughter. We burn easily in the sunlight. We don't turn instantly to ash but we do burn. The good thing is we heal fast."

"Hey," I began trying to lift her mood. "Remember the look on Tom's face when you bit Brad? That i will never forget!" We shared a laugh and she thanked me as we headed home.

When we reached the mansion, Mother told me to go straight to my room for i did not want to await the afternoon sun. We bid each other good night and went our separate ways. When i got to my door, Davey was there awaiting my return. I started to run up and give him a hug but noticed he was sleeping, and decided to sit in his lap instead. When i sat down i instantly started talking for fear he would freak out and throw whoever he thought sat on him.

"So, Santa, this year i want a pony, a big red bike, and a puppy!"

He chuckled and stretched. "Only if your a good girl." He yawned. "Welcome home. Enjoy your hunting trip?"

I smiled "yes, as a matter of fact i did." I started to invite him in. "Would you like to-" i paused. "Since you have already entered my room i suppose you would like to come in any time you want?" He smiled and nodded. "Well i'll have to think about that." He wrapped his arms around me and began to lean towards me. "Hmm. should i let you come in...?" My first real kiss. I knew i was ready. He leaned in closer. Closer still until our lips met. It was like fire, then like ice, and finally like water. Smooth running water that never seemed to end.Like a river. My cheeks flushed as i realizes we had been sitting there longer that we had originally intended. "I might have come to a decision." Suddenly Tom's head came into my mind. I had killed him. "Davey, i killed a man. I can never forget that." I looked at my hands and sighed.

Davey put his hand under my chin and said "It will pass. The feelings won't last long."

I walked over to my bed and lay down. Davey got up and gave me a playful look. I knew exactly what he was thinking, but before I could utter a protest, he ran and jumped on my bed, almost landing on top of me. i let out a small scream, then a laugh, and lay my head on Davey's bare muscular chest. He kissed my head and we fell asleep together.

It all started when i met Davey, but i'll have to start earlier than that. I was sixteen. It was my first day in London, and my first day of school. Of course, i was late. I was walking around the campus trying to find my dancing class. Mom wanted me to get a fresh start and several new friends. Yeah right. I was goth in a prep class. New friends wasn't my only problem. As i was wandering, i happened t glance down a hallway and saw someone, or something. So, i followed the hallway, hoping it would lead me to my class or to someone i could ask. Instead, it lead me to an empty classroom. No, not empty. There was a man lying down in what looked like a pool of his own blood. I looked for someone to get help, but saw none. I decided to look for an I.D. like on the C.S.I. shows i used to watch. Big mistake.

As i walked to the dead person, a man- if that is what you would call him- jumped off one of the desks and asked me why i was there. I told him i was walking through the halls and saw someone running this way, so i followed them. The man stared at me, the blood dripping from his mouth caused my stomach to churn. My cell phone rang then, Mom's ring tone. Probably making sure i found my class okay.

I looked away from the man, as he jumped forward at me, sinking his teeth into the flesh of my neck. I screamed and tore at his skin his back and his head trying frantically to get him off me. Finally he dropped me and i fell to the floor.

I lay on the ground, my neck bleeding furiously. This feeling was familiar, my life fleeing out of my body through a deep wound on my wrist. This time my neck. I stared at him once again. He looked so familiar. Why? Was he the man From my dreams? The man who fed on my neck since i was a child? Yes. This was the very man. Would i wake now? Shaking and screaming from the vividness of the dream?

"Why do you stare at me?" The strange man asked. "I know who you are. I have searched for you for many a moon. You do not know me but by your dreams." He continued to explain what he was, who he was, and why he was there, but i could pay no attention. My mind was a thousand miles away remembering all the dreams and the things he had put into my mind. He soon stopped talking and knelt down to be eye level with me.

"I have a very important Question for you. I want you to answer truthfully. Can you do that?" He spoke as though he was speaking to a child. I nodded. I was at a loss for words. The bite he gave me burned like a thousand suns in one spot. "Do you wish to live immortally? Do you wish to know what it feels like to be me? Do you want to have all the freedom in the world and have none of it taken from you? Well, do you?" I nodded once more, afraid to speak for fear i would scream.

The man reached down to pull me into his lap. He bit his wrist forcing it to bleed and held it to my mouth.

"Drink." He commanded. Drink and know how it feels. You need to learn."

The liquid was like fire, liquid fire running down my throat. My arms burned. My throat swelled. I could feel each of my fingers were on fire. my legs burned with the fire. My heart thrummed in my chest pulling all the liquid fire blood to circle my body, again and again. I squirmed and screamed in his lap clawing at my skin to get the poison out. Te torture would never end. It scorched my body and numbed me from the inside out. Some kind of drug inside my body made me incredibly sleepy. My eyes threatened to slide shut. I was loosing the battle against the fire inside me.

"Don't fight the sleep, my dear. Trust me, it helps." His voice sounded scared. He was scared for me? Maybe he felt bad for changing me. Maybe there was more to this man that i saw. My eyes slid shut as i gave up on the fight against everything. My mom's face was the last thing i remember, flashing through my mind. Her face horrified as she found i was dead and i would never return home. a tear slid down my cheek before i slipped into unconsciousness.

As i slept i dreamed about the entire vampire race. It flashed before my eyes like a movie made of memories.

A woman stood next to a pile of dead men and women, smiling as they burned. Then, she kissed a man and sunk her teeth into his neck. Blood ran from her mouth as she raised her face to the sky and screamed in triumph. The same woman was then being burned at the stake. a man that seemed to be her father or her lover stood starring and crying out to her. he saw her say something then, she vanished. She had escaped, somehow. I then saw a mansion. It was huge. Like twenty or thirty stories and like fifty rooms wide and thirty rooms long. A limousine pulled up and a woman helped my several men in blankets helped her quickly inside. there was a little smoke coming from beneath their blankets.

When the visions stopped i woke up. I stretched and yawned. That was without a doubt the best night of sleep i have ever had. i opened my eyes and looked around. i was in a huge room with dark thick red curtains. I glanced around. The entire room was Dark red. Like blood. Like liquid fire. I looked down and saw i was in a dark red bed. the sheets were made of Egyptian Silk, the blankets, Egyptian cotton. And a down filled comforter on top of the blankets. The pillows were even down filled with Egyptian silk pillow covers.

I stood up and noticed i was wearing a blood red lingerie nightgown. I felt my cheeks try to flush as i stepped into the blood red feather stilettos on the floor by my bed. I instantly walked to the bathroom to check on the damage my hair was in. To my surprise, my hair was in perfect order, not one hair out of place. i turned to brush my teeth and nearly tripped over my new shoes when the man was there smiling at me.

"Good morning sleeping beauty." He chuckled. "Did you sleep well?"

"Why yes. Do you mind telling me where i am?"

The man smiled. "You are in England. Not far from home. Are you hungry?"

My stomach grumbled in reply. "Who are you? I know i knew you from my dreams, but you never told me you name or where you come from."

"My name is Davey. Come. I will tell you what meaning your dreams hold."

He led me past several small camp fires, explaining what 'meaning my dreams hold.'

"The first man you saw is our father, the first male vampire. And the woman, our mother. You will know her soon."

"Will i know Father?"

"No. He is far too busy to see to your feeble wants and needs. You will meet Mother. She is with us all. You will know her as Mother, and only Mother, unless she says otherwise."

"But when will i meet her?"

"When she calls you will know." He paused, closed his eyes and inhaled slowly. "Listen. She calls. Go to her."

"I don't know how." I felt my cheeks try to blush but no blood came. I realized why and felt my cheeks try to blush again.

"Close your eyes and imagine yourself beside her. Now go"

"But how do i know when-"

"Welcome my child."
