The Spawn of Hate (18 page)

             
“Cory get up and come over here to the couch with me.” Annova spoke with her words sounding more like a command than a request. I got up and sat at the far end of the couch.

             
“There are video games here for you to play, so play.” Annova said as she tossed me a controller.

             
“I don’t feel like playing anything” I said as I put the controller down. Out the corner of my eye I saw her stand up and walk towards me. She put her hand up like she meant to strike me and I hurried and grabbed the controller.

             
“That’s better Cory.” Annova said triumphantly. “All of this stuff here is for you. If some new game or fancy doo dad comes out it is yours to have. Stop feeling sorry for yourself, you can’t get out of this situation so you might as well enjoy it.”

             
I began playing some shooter game as she came and sat next to me, she then moved closer to me and started playing in my hair. I tried to pretend I didn’t notice and continued with my game. I heard her giggle a little and she started rubbing on my thigh which made a saying I had heard all my life about two heads make perfect sense. The head containing my brain made me shoot up off the couch and back away. Unfortunately they didn’t bother to give me any underwear to wear under my sweat pants and well I am sure you get the point.

             
“Your body obviously likes the attention a lot more than Josef’s.” Annova said as she got up off the couch. “But you are so scared, it will not matter in a couple days anyway. You won’t be able to run from me then.” She laughed as she left the room. I rushed to the door to see if she locked it when I noticed there was some kind of panel next to the door. I touched it and two screens shot up, one displaying outside my door, the other displaying another bed room. I touched the screen with Annova on it and she was talking to Irina and Vikonika, complete with audio.

             
“Majesty, he will be far easier than we previously thought.”

             
“What do you mean Annova?”

             
“He is like any other teenage boy, his hormones are out of control. I am sure I scared the shit out him moments ago but his body still reacted to me. I say let’s stop this nonsense and see whether he will be viable or not.”

             
“Annova I was thinking we might speed up our schedule but something interesting happened to me this morning. Those mongrels seemed more angrier than usual at me until I discovered why, apparently their head bitch had eyes for him. I can’t pass up an opportunity to flaunt it in that bitch’s face. Make sure he is clean and his hair is trimmed. I want him looking at his best tomorrow when he returns to school. Trust me the story gets even better.”

             
“How so?” Annova replied.

             
“It’s like this Anna”, Vikonika started “The android started trying to get real buddy buddy with me for some reason. Of course I made fun of her but she was persistent. It took her a while to get out why she wanted to hang out with me. She was asking about Cory!  Any chance I have to stick it to the principal I am surely going to take. His failed science experiment wanted to know if she could come over and visit him.”

             
“That would be like inviting the principal himself in here!” Annova spoke, her voice a little louder than she intended it to be.

             
“Calm down Annova”, Irina spoke continuing “She will never get in here. I will permit her to speak to him though, just to keep the principal out of our business. Ensure Cory is ready tomorrow for school and is wearing our colors. Another thing, make sure he knows that we can tell whenever he is at his monitor listening in.” As she spoke her last sentence she looked directly into the camera. I jumped back and I could hear the vamps laughing at me. I hurried and turned the monitor off.

             
I was excited about going back to school even though it had yet been a day. I could even talk to Summer and possibly Khatara and let her know this was not by choice. I wonder what the twins thought of me being here or Ronnie. Would anyone want to ever hand out with me anymore? Ronnie wasn’t the best friend but at least he was another guy to hang out with. Other than his being gay we had plenty of stuff in common and even kept my secrets when I told him who was hot and who was not. It was going to be lonely living here when I realized I had a neighbor.

Chapter

Misery Loves Company

              I knocked on the door leading to the other room and received no answer. I could hear movement and some type of grunting noises coming from the door. I went to the monitor and turned it on. What I saw on the monitor was easily the most disturbing thing I ever saw, and I have saw people killed before.

             
Bent over a table was some poor guy who looked like he really didn’t want to be there. He was chained down and some weird looking man was giving it to him from behind. From what I could gather, a rape was taking place. I went over to our mutual door and started banging on it as loud as I could. After a few moments Josef opened the door while standing in the nude looking extremely irritated

“The one bit of fun I have in this miserable existence ruined. What is so urgent that you have to practically beat my door down?” Josef asked me looking extremely irritated. When I didn’t answer he just turned around and walked to the table and unchained the man that was there.

I could really see Josef and his deformities. Well deformity by my standards anyway. He hand a very elongated head that ended in a point at the top of his head. His chin was also pointy giving his head the shape of an oval. His front teeth were very long and came together in a sharp point. I am not talking about his canines like the female Vamps, I mean this guy had huge scary looking buck teeth. He was shorter than I and very skinny with super long fingers. I had heard vampires lived long but I saw no way this guy could walk by on the street and not get noticed.

“Well come on in boy, you already ruined
most of my fun.” Josef said as he motioned me in his room.

The guy that was chained up took the tape off his mouth and knelt at Josef’s side. Josef then grabbed him by his hair and was practically forcing him to use his mouth on him. Josef sighed while this was going on and then faced me and tried to begin a conversation.

“You look as if you have seen a ghost” Josef grinned. I could see he was missing two fingers.

“Don’t worry about my friend
here, he is welcome to leave my room at any time.” Josef spoke looking down at the man who I could see was more of a boy. “In fact if he keeps doing a job as terrible as the one he is doing currently I may recommend for his removal myself.” When Josef finished speaking I could see the guy step up his effort considerably. It made me want to hurl.

“Why would he like being in here with you? I don’t think he is gay and I seriously doubt he likes doing that. Can you make him stop?”

“It is not my choice Cory, can I call you Cory? Anyway he likes doing it, ask him if he wants to stop?”

“Hey buddy”, I said tapping him on the shoulder. “Do you want to stop?”

He shook his head no and started going faster like his life depended on it or something. I could see Josef tense up then relax considerably.

“That’s what I’m talking about, human! Make sure you swallow every last drop of that, never know when you will need your vitamins. No go draw my bath so you can bathe me.”

The guy got up and walked to where I guess Josef’s bathroom was.

“Don’t feel sorry for him human. Like I said he wants to be here.”

“Why would he want to be here Josef?”

“Because he does not want to leave this room ever.
I have tried to make him go but he is as much a prisoner as you and I.”

“I don’t understand” I asked puzzled.

“I am sure you remember the attack on our compound a few months back. That gentlemen came in here and cut the heads off of two juveniles. He then killed the horrid young lady sent to protect me and waited to kill our horrible queen. The queen unfortunately won their battle and gave him to me to cheer me up. After our first couple of trysts he lost his wizard power and has been here ever since. I do not have to force him to have sex with me anymore because he realizes his death awaits outside this room. Every female vampire here in their horrible frenzy to conceive see him as someone who made that prospect harder to achieve. They will rip his throat out or slowly torture him until he dies. He knows his existence depends on me. If I say I do not want him anymore, out of this room he goes.”

“Does the principal know he is in here?”

“I doubt it or he would have taken him to the werewolves first, then brought him over here to for that horrible girl to extract revenge.”

“You don’t seem big on your own kind.” I said matter of factly.

“My kind? Those trollops? I am a prisoner here just like you. When I refused to used as breeding stock for them whores they took off my two fingers!” He said as he held up his hand. “Which brings me to the reason as why they need you? You certainly do not look like a vampire with your pigment as I am guessing you are nowhere as sensitive to the light or the sun as we are. You certainly do not have my incisors, which leads me to believe you can’t give the gift of the bite.”

“What is the gift of the bite?”

“The bite is how all female vampires are made. Why it certainly kills a lot of people, females are only made from the bite, and they cannot be too long into puberty. That is why the Vampire women you see around you all look like teenagers when some of them are well over a hundred.”

“They are that old? They don’t look a hundred.”

“And they won’t ever look their age. Unfortunately for them their lives are finite. Whereas I can live forever barring injury, they are only around for 150 or so years, which the exception of a daughter of Drac who lives twice that. There is only one way for them to increase their lives. Can you guess what that is Cory?”

It suddenly made sense to me now. Sure they wanted to preserve their race but they want to live forever. That is why they are so concerned with having male vampires around. More
males means more chances for them to be pregnant.

“They do it by reproduction.” I answered already sure of the answer.

“You are correct. Male Vampires as you may have deduced are only born. More males means more time for them to enslave us. Sure we had our run dominating the females, but in their efforts to demonize us they have done no different when handed power. Speaking of demons, Cory do you know who your father is?”

“What type of question is that?”

“It is a simple one to answer, because I am sure I do.”

“You know my mom and dad?”

“Not the human who raised you, I am talking about your real father.”

“You know the person who attacked my mother?”

“Unfortunately yes, I did not recognize him in you since it has been so long since I saw him. I guess he did succeed.”

“Who succeeded? What are you talking about?”

“Your father I met only once about 100 years after Drac turned me. He was on the run from a mob and claimed to be some type of demon. We thought he was just delusional but he did have dark red skin. He told us his tale about not being able to use his powers in our realm and misjudged how strong humans were. We asked him how Drac was able to keep his powers here and Drac told him he hadn’t been able to, only immortality. Unlike the rest of us male vampires Drac can heal pretty quick from any injury. He is the vampire your fairytales are made of. The rest of us males are only blessed with extremely long age. So long in fact, that when I first came to this country, most of it was owned by the French. Back to my story though, your father said he was going to reproduce here but the first couple of females did not survive the impregnation experience. As he was talking he suddenly started to burn and caught flames until he just vanished. The only explanation I got from Drac is that those from his world are not suited for this environment and many of them die immediately reaching this place or they must return to their world immediately, which their tolerance for our planet being less and less with each visit. I had forgotten about the encounter until now.”

That was a lot to take in at once. That would explain the readings the professors machine gave off, why I am much darker than anyone I have ever seen and why I can take peoples abilities away.

“Josef who else knows about this?”

“Worry not young one, your secret is certainly safe with me as I would do nothing to please my captors. I look on you with sorrow now though.”

“Because of my father?”

“Because of what you are going to go through.
If you feel sorry for our friend in the bathroom, you will be just like him, just like me. Do you know the reason you do not see many male and female vampires?”

“No” I answered.

“Once our numbers were many. You must realize that we can only pass along our gift by either the bite or sexual means twice a year, during solstice. Solstice is the only time my body makes venom, the only time I can produce my seed. Reproducing means agony, even then with agreeable females the feeling leaves a sick taste in your mouth, and upset stomach if you will if you give the gift of the bite. If you reproduce by other means, imagine having the worse you possible, complete with muscle spasms. Now imagine the feeling you get when you have real bad headache, tooth ache or broken bone. That’s on top of the flu. Now for the coup de grace, imagine a never ending seizure on top of all of that. That is just what it is like normally. Sleeping with a female that does not have your venom inside of her multiplies that feeling tenfold. I am strapped to that table and experience this twice a year, all day long. My body is pumped full of drugs just to ensure I am able to perform. I am left comatose for days afterward after it is over. To make up for it in their own sick way, I get a day away from this place. Although I am never really free since they are all around me and must plan my fun, right down to picking the prostitute.  Welcome to your own private hell with only me and maybe that poor creature in the bathroom as your real company.”
