《Death With Benefits》Convo with a vampire
Advertisement
We were sitting on opposite chairs in my living room, if I could call it that, in the middle of us on a table were the pizzas I commanded earlier. She was observing the embarrassing state of my apartment. I just ignored her and started eating my pizzas, it wasn't the one that wanted to talk after all. As I was relishing in the deliciousness of my meal, she broke the silence.
"I am curious I saw you die, how is it that you're still among the living?"
I didn't answer immediately, only after I finished my pizza did I say
"It's a mystery to me too."
She looked at me like she didn't believe me, I didn't care at worse she would kill me, been there done that, TWICE!! Yeah, it was still a sore point.
"If you don't want to tell me that's fine but before I get into the reason for my visit, do you want to ask some questions."
A bit surprised that she dropped the subject that easily, I started getting wary of what she really wanted. But since she was all for it I asked
"How did you know I didn't die?" this was what was bothering me how could she possibly tell I wasn't dead?
"I didn't know I, like Luke, by the way, he's the one that reaped your head off, thought you were dead, it's just that I felt guilty about the whole incident and went to where Luke had his men buried you to pay my respects. That's when I discover that there was no corpse and traces of digging, also I was smelling a familiar scent, your blood, I followed it to an abandoned alley. In that alley, I found carnage. Following the scent further led me to this apartment and here we are."

'So the asshole is named Luke. Note to me, vampires truly have powerful senses. Also looking at her I didn't think that she would feel guilty and even come to apologize on my grave' i was genuinely surprised by her explanation. I was a bit more well disposed to her.
"So, is he a vampire too?"
"Luke? it's complicated you can say he's partly one."
"I see..." I didn't, at all, but it's just that talking about him was starting to piss me off.
"How could vampires' existence not be known by now?" I was curious about that.
"Ah this is due to the discretion of our people and some history manipulation, since we're immortal we have more than enough time to erase our traces in history. Also because of false information spreading. The rumors that paint vampires to be allergic to sun or garlic are bogus, don't get me started with the wood or silver thing. Like almost all immortals we can only die by decapitation. Well, that's what I thought until I met you."
'So it's like that, I thought digesting the info.
"Are there other supernaturals?"
"Of course ranging from Lycans to Demons, Angels and Fae, even gods."
"Wait gods exist like for real?"
"Yeah, it's just that you need to reach a certain level of power to become relevant to them."
I was officially mind blown. This supernatural world I was venturing into seemed deep and profound like the abyss, 'Well at least I won't die' i thought jokingly.
"I have nothing more to ask. You can say why you are truly here now."
"I am here to ask something of you," she said then she hesitated.
"What?" I asked curiously drinking a cup of water

"Well there's no way to say this well, but I want you to be my fake boyfriend"
"WHAT?? WHY?" I coughed from the wrongful intake of water.
"This...Well, what happened earlier, is the main reason."
"You mean when that psycho reaped my head off?"
"Yeah, I should explain from the start so you understand better. My family is one of the oldest vampire families in the world created by my father 5000 years ago..."
"You mean you're almost 5000 years old?" I asked my eyes bulging?
"What NO! I am just 22 years old this year."
"Oh sorry," I said sheepishly
"As I was saying our family is an old one, 2000 years ago my father received help from an extremely ancient and extremely powerful mage named Atticus White. To repay this debt my father promised his first daughter to his son. Now, I am technically engaged to the son of this mage, Luke White whom you met earlier this day."
"Ah, now I get why this asshole killed me, he thought you and I were an item." In other term am just collateral in all this story, just GREAT!
"Exactly, that's why I need you to be my fake boyfriend, as your resilience has already been proven, he is unable to kill you. Maybe he'll finally understand that I want nothing to do with him."
"Why don't you just tell him that?"
"I tried, he is a blockhead he refuses to understand, and since his father is this powerful mage and also the regional head of the magic council. Not to mention he is the benefactor of my father, it's quite difficult," she said sighing
"Another self-entitled prick." I thought hatefully thinking of the bastard that had me fired.
"So will you help me?"
"What will I gain from this after all I am not your friend, plus you already owe me."
"I didn't intend for you to do this for free, of course, I would pay you."
"How much?" I said tempted
"10.000.000 $," she said calmly.
"*cough* *cough* I am sorry what?" I asked bewildered.
"10.000.000 $," she repeated.
"You got yourself a deal." Standing up I shook her hand.
"Thank you." she heaved a sigh of relief. "What's your account number I will transfer 1/4th immediately and the rest after the job."
I gave it to her and not long after I received a notification. No sound was sweeter in my ears.
I looked and saw 2.500.000$ on it. I was ecstatic, it seems my poverty issue was taken care of.
She got up and went to the door.
"I'll be in touch." then she left.
"sure."

RETURN, A Dark Lord story.
Return, Synopsis In the Triangulum Galaxy, one of a number of galaxies controlled by the Empire of The DARK LORD, JENNA OF CHRISTOS finds herself on the run after she killed a patrolman. Becoming pilot on a pirate craft, several years later she and other pirates are devastated by attacks of the Imperial Legion and are now trying to regroup. Seeking funds that will help them hide out for a time, their leader THURGOD DRISTA and JENNA meet with a PROFESSOR of galactic history who gives them information, a map and an ancient artifact described as a singing stone. He tells them that this could lead them safely to a legendary treasure trove, called THE DARK LORDS HOARD, on the forbidden planet TRILLA. The hoard is supposed to belong to the ruler of the empire who vanished close to one thousand years before and is presumed to be gone. The treasure is believed to be hidden in a tunnel accessible from the planet surface but no one who has gone into the tunnel has ever come out alive or sane. Leaving the pirate hideout immediately after the meeting and avoiding a major attack by the legion, the pirates travel to the galactic rim for supplies and to leave a false trail. With them they take the PROFESSOR and ILISA, a serving girl. However CAPTAIN TRASKA the commander of a Legions task force called Detachment T, has guessed the pirates intentions and tracked them to the rim. The pirates leave on their next leg to TRILLA unaware that CAPTAIN TRASKA with his force of heavy cruisers, is already there and lying in wait for them. Allowing the pirates to land, including an unexpected second pirate ship, CAPTAIN TRASKA sends a force of troopers to capture both craft and their guards. Before they can do this, THURGOD, the PROFESSOR and others, numbering thirteen altogether and led by JENNA entered the tunnel complex. JENNA, warned by ILISA that she must be the one to hold the singing stone, carries it in the hope that it will guide her and her companions past the many dangers in the tunnel. Shortly afterward, VIS VISTRICER the Legions overall commander travels to Trilla in an armoured planetoid, a spacecraft as large as a moon. On his arrival at TRILLA, VIS VISTRICER meets with CAPTAIN TRASKA but before they can do much, they are both surprised by one of the LADIES OF THE CIRCLE who is waiting for the outcome of what is happening in the tunnels. In the tunnels, JENNA leads THURGOD and the rest of party through many dangers and tests. Four are killed in the tunnels but the rest finally come to their goal where, to their surprise, in a cavern they meet the DARK LORD who is alive and very well. He has been waiting for them so he can return to the Empire. JENNA finds out that the patrol officer is alive and that she and many others have been manipulated all this time by the DARK LORD. She also finds out that ILISA, whose real name is JURA, is a member of the CIRCLE OF LADIES and was sent to teach JENNA many years before on her home planet of Christos. The DARK LORD restores and fulfills a promise to release JURA from her service as a LADY. He next has each pirate declare their own fate and takes them to the surfaces of TRILLA. There, at their election, he executes two of the pirates while JENNA is pardoned and some have the death penalty reprieved. The rest will face the courts of the Legion. VIS VISTRICER is raised to the rank of STAR COMMANDER, the highest rank in the Legion while TRASKA becomes a COMMODORE. The DARK LORD returns to Tihab, the administrative centre of the empire. There he takes up his residence in a surprised and disconcerted imperial palace. JENNA is returned by COMMODORE TRASKA to the planet Christos where she is welcomed by the planets rulers and her family, some of whom were aware of some of what was happening.

With his mind and body struggling to handle the impossible things he can now perceive, Josh has to decide: accept a mark himself, or attempt to forget everything.

Expect: -Slow build storytelling -Character details -Foreshadowing -Dialogue driven narrative -Dynamic action scenes -Some mild graphic descriptions of injury -Sexuality is a factor -No explicit content (at least not directly) -Mild body horror -Light cosmic horror Reviews and critique are highly encouraged.
