《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."

Galactic Economics
Humanity enters the galaxy and makes First Contact, only to begin to realize that not everything is at it seems. It appears that the galactic alien community has forgotten to invent some rather important economic concepts that human civilization has taken for granted. This is a look at a hypothetical galactic scale barter economy, how that would work, or how as one of our main characters Sarah realizes... it doesn't. And as the galaxy falls apart at the seams, it's up to the best and brightest in humanity to put things back together. Story contains a lot about markets, logistics, development, and the best and worst of human history. Not so much Space Marines nuking aliens. If you enjoyed the trade negotiations and Senate politics in the Star Wars prequels, and wished that there was an entire standalone story consisting solely of those parts, this might be for you! Galactic Economics is also posted on reddit here.

Flashback: Siren Song
The year is 1969. Yancy Lazarus—bluesman, gambler, future world-class mage and fix-it man—is just a dumb, unlucky kid serving with the 3rd Battalion 3rd Marines in Vietnam.With just a few weeks left to go until Yancy gets shipped back to the States, he’s just trying to keep his head down and avoid a body bag—no mean feat in Nam. But when his squad is tasked with conducting a routine patrol deep in enemy territory, everything goes to nine kinds of hell, and he quickly sees his chances at survival slipping away.When the radio operators start to pick up some funky, dirty ol’ blues all the way out in the backcountry, it’s a nice change of pace. At least until the men in Yancy’s squad start losing their minds, turning on each other with murderous intent as the music works its deadly power within them. Convinced it’s some kind of new psychological warfare initiative, the squad leader forces the men to push deeper and deeper into the Vietnamese jungle, obsessed with locating the music’s source. What they find, however, isn’t some new technology, but an ancient spirit awoken by the terrible war. Even worse, the music is changing Yancy too, awakening something buried inside of him. Only one thing is certain, nothing is ever going to be the same.See how it all began … *** PRAISE FOR SIREN SONG:Hunter's writing is as low-down, gritty, and insidious as the blues Yancy Lazarus loves. Just like the mysterious music drifting through the jungle toward Yancy's squad, Siren Song will get under your skin and sink its hooks into your mind. —eden Hudson, Author of Halo Bound (the Redneck Apocalypse series) *** Hey everyone, this is James Hunter. This story isn't a full length novel--its a novella length work (25K words), and is part of my Yancy Lazarus series. Its already free on Amazon, so I thought I'd post chapters here for the good folks of Royal Road.
