Vampires, chapter 2
Night time fell over Kektion. The lights of the Skimmer Deco trading post shone brightly out of the darkness. On the bridge crossing, humans and Skimmers crossed the bridge, hurriedly to and from the trading post.
It was miserable, wet damp and stormy. Four figures where huddled together. Behind them were hundreds of silhouetted shapes. In front of the four, were masses of flying blobs. One figure stepped forwards throwing his cloak to one side. As he did so, gold shined on his forehead; this was his crown. The figure was the king of the humans. He faced the hovering vampires and bellowed so all could here. “Vampires, we came here to make a deal! These are terms my fellow humans agreed on. When the teenagers meet a certain age, then you shall eat them; some current adults shall be chosen for your delight, but no females shall be chosen. There shall be a certain day every week when you can kill any person who’s out of their houses, including women and children. What do you say?�
Several vampires murmured to each other, but the head vampire present silenced them.
“What age is this that you speak of? And we want the little present you promised to seal the deal!� Vampires all around laughed and liked there lips with glee.
“The age shall be 18 years and the present is all ready prepared, and awaiting you.�
“What’s our gift� the vampiress hissed threw razor sharp teeth.
“ME!�
The vampires and the humans alike gasp and cried out.
“I shall give some things to my family, and talk to them, and then I’m all yours. There’s another part of the deal I forgot to mention: the son I give my sword to dose not get harmed, or chosen. The only way you can kill him is in a vampire fight or if he is the last person outside on ‘vampire day’. Do we have and accord?� He turned to the other three figures and pulled out his sword
“Yes, yes we do, and do hurry up� the vampiress spited spitefully.
Joe the king gave the sword to the smallest figure. As he did so, the second biggest figure threw off his cape and grabbed the sword, and shouted accusingly. “Why are you giving the sword to Rory, he’s weak, he’s a runt, he won’t last a minute against the vampires, look what I can do.� He rushed forwards and slashed the sword at a grounded vampire who grabbed his arm. As this happened, the head vampire, launched at Joe and sent Rory sprawling to the floor. Henry, the bigger figure got control of the sword, and cut the grounded vampire in two, another vampire instantly swooped down picked him up and dropped him. The sword went high into the air, and started to fall point down towards Rory’s face. It stopped a fraction from his head, his father had caught it. Later, Joe was saying long speeches of goodbye, to the rest of the family, but to Rory he said one thing and one thing only. “Practice with your sword on your own for a full year to this very day, at least two hours a day, then and only then go find master Gopendo, the second greatest vampire hunter alive. He, with his son, shall teach you the rest. Goodbye I shall always love you.�
He then turned and stepped towards the vampires; they immediately launched down, picked him up and rapidly flew off. Over the wind one sound could be heard: “Farewell my loved ones, I’ll never forget you.�
When this was heard, Lucia, Rory’s mum, turned and ran off through the crowd, sobbing as she went; Henry turned and muttered, “Fool, what an idiot, give up your life, and worst to give Rory the power of the sword, the runt will last 5 days tops. sword. Rory slumped down onto the ground, tears swelling in his eyes, and lump growing in his throat and whispered. “Nor I you father, nor I you.�
One year past in Kektion, it was early morning and from the poor house a figure could be seen in one of the rooms, it was Rory practising with the sword. He dropped it and it cut his leg deeply but he didn’t winch or show any sign that he was bothered. Rory walked over to the wall by his bed and added another line to the other hundreds of his tally, as he did he said. “Another day, another wound.� he then walked over to the broken and grubby mirror at the end of his bed and looked in it, a mature teenager with brown frenzied long hair, brown tired eyes and chapped lips stared back at him, he took his top off to reveal hundreds of scars, bumps, and dents in his arms chest, neck and back. “I’m useless with the sword,� he muttered “well today is the day that I get to meet Gopendo. But it’s Sunday and that means vampire, day I must be careful.� he rushed down stairs to ware his ill mum was sleeping on the sofa. His mum became ill when the sinful vampires sent back the bones of Joe, she started to weep and she never came out of her depression, her depression drove her into an madness that would kill her. Lucia woke when she heard the door.
“Where are you going.� she croaked
“Out.� he replied
“But it’s vampire day.� she protested
“No it’s Saturday, and even if it was I have immunity.� he defended
“Don’t be l…o….n…..g.� she said while passing out.
Rory smiled to himself and walked threw the door, he made his way down the streets towards the job post where he would find the information he needed about Gopendo.
He was nearing his destination when to the side of him came I blood piercing scream which cut the air like a knife. He turned to see a person soaring into the air being dragged higher and higher by a vampire. There was another scream horrible, terrible so more terrible than the first, the vampire had let go of its doomed victim. Rory saw the women fall a short way before landing head first on to the roof of a house there was a mass of blood the head flew of right up to Rory’s feet, the rest were splattered and dismembered of the roof slowly dripping and sliding down into the alley ways. From the alley way were the commotion was happening several people were running for the lives, pushing a shoving. When Rory tried to calm the people, but they just knocked him down. When he got back up he saw a small group of about 50 vampires coming towards him, he was scared but he wanted to make his dad proud and test his skills so he stood firm. The head vampiress knew that Rory had protection, but she still wanted to kill him she was the wife of Nosferatu, yes she knew everything about Rory and this is to come clear later on. Rory shouted at the vampiress a message of warning. “I’ am Rory I have protection, you may not kill me, but I challenge one of you to a duel, a fight come forth who wishes to die.�
The vampiress was quick to reply. “I know who you are and the fight shall be against all of us. yahhahahh� she lunged at Rory and the others copied. Rory was quick to draw his sword but by the time he had done so the first vampire was upon him he struggled in a desperate attempt to get out of the vile and deadly strong grip of the vampire, another of the vampires landed behind Rory and was about to bite but something ceased it from attacking “STOP!!!!� it was the head vampiress, wanting to do the killing herself. But this was a wrong choice of action, the noise startled the young vampire holding Rory and he lost his grip, Rory seized his chance.
“DIE SCUM!� there was a SWISH a RIP and then silence.
Rory’s sword was covered in a green and red liquid oozing down from the vamps heart! the young vamp fell to the floor and the others were startled at this turn of events, they waited patently for there leader to talk but nothing came, thon she opened and closed her mouths a few times no sound came out. There was silence still for a few more minutes then a confident voice rang out and broke the heavy silence.
“Who’s next?�
These words by Rory sprang the vampires into action. They hurtled down at Rory bombarding him, but one managed to harm him, the razor sharp talons gripped into his arm piercing and ripping it as they went deeper into him muscles. But Rory didn’t even wince as the terrible pain rushed through his body, the vampire who was now lifting him off the ground by his skin, muscles and tissue found this very disturbing and frightening. Rory with his good arm put his sword to the creature’s throat and he whispered into the creature’s ear.
“Wrong move!�
He then danced the sword down the creature’s neck to the music of the anguished cries of the monstrous thing. He dropped to the ground acrobatically landing on his feet. The vampires moved away form him except for one, this one was the bravest one of the hunting party, he charged at Rory, and Rory retaliated with extending his sword to the side of him but as the thing got closer he swung it round into the air and brought it down hard on the creatures head, there was another cry of pain and suffering and then a wave of vampire blood flew into the air, and when the blood had cleared it was revealed that the monsters skull had split! The hunting party disperse save for the leader who gave a threat to the young boy.
‘We will get you next time, and we will find out your weaknesses and exploit them to the extreme!’
Rory now battle scared and tired hurried along to the fighting arena where the old hero now lived. He was about to meet his master for the next 2 years of his life.
