Aphrodite's blog: "My vampire story"

The next evening we lay in bed for a while not wanting to do anything to night. After awhile of lying there we start to get hungry so we have to get up. We put on some sweats and a tank top. We walk out the door looking ill.

As we pull up to Desdemona’s I notice something’s not right.  Lilith is at the door again.

“What's going on something doesn’t seem right, where is Eric?” I asked.

“Desdemona said to find her and she will explain” Lilith said.

I hold tight to Cherrie’s hand and push my way through the crowd and head towards Desdemona’s office. There was a new secretary. He was an odd looking person. His ears were too big for his head and his nose too small. He didn’t say anything to me as I walked through the office door.

“Sit down and I will explain everything,” she instructed. “The vampires you warned Eric about was a clan that was made by an old foe from when I was a newbie her name was Charity, she was upset because I was our makers favorite, we have been fighting for many centuries, she left me a lone for a decade,”

“Why would she start again now?” Cherrie asks.

“She was probably building an army,” I added.

“She wants to meet me alone but I want you two to come also I will explain to her I will not meet her unless you two are with me,” she explained, “I want to prevent an all out war I cant afford it right now.”

“What happened to Eric?” I asked.

“Well when the gang approached the door Eric wouldn't let them in, the got mad and started fighting, before anyone can help him they killed him,” she sobbed.

“Oh no,” Cherrie sobbed.

“Are we going to handle this?” I asked.

“We will just not at this moment, right now we will pay respects and drink that’s how Eric would have wanted,” she said.

“ Alright we will try,” I said.

Cherrie and I walked to our table. When we got to the table there were people sitting there.

“Move,” I demanded..

They scrambled to get up and move. As soon as we sat down Dingus was there he took our orders. We sat and watched everyone worried someone might be a rouge vampire. Anyone we didn’t know we questioned. As we sat there a couple of humans walked in we have never seen. I motioned to Dingus to bring them to me. Cherrie and I were hungry. They were sat between us. We weren’t in the mood to play we drank and they were cleaned away. After an hour or so we were ready to go it was late and the sun was going to rise. We found Desdemona and said good-bye and went home.

When we got home we didn’t know what to do. We had an hour until sunrise. So we thought we would relax in the jacuzzi for a little bit then after that we would turn in for the day. It was a draining and depressing night.

I woke up just before sunset and I lie there thinking. My Cherrie I let her sleep in when the sunset. I got up and took a shower got dressed then woke her.

“Why didn’t you wake me up when you woke up my love?” she asked.

“You looked so peaceful I couldn’t,” I whispered and kissed her forehead, “take a shower get dressed we have to go talk to Desdemona.”

“Ok,” she whispered.

When Cherrie was ready we drove to Desdemona’s. When we arrived the club looked closed. We walked to the front door there was a sign that said closed. For some reas0n I looked under the sign and there was a note that had my name on it I opened it and it read:

Hey Trouble,

I closed the club tonight for the meeting with Charity I want you to meet me at my place.

            Love,

                Desdemona

It was a forty-five minute drive to her house. When we got there I knocked and a tall grim looking man answered the door and showed us to the den where Desdemona was sitting with a vampire and a lycan.

“Hey boss lady,” I said.

“Ah come Cherrie and Trouble meet my friends they will be posted around while we meet with Charity, This is Shiloh he is lycan and this is Ezekiel he is a vampire,” she said

“Hi um boss I thought we were supposed to meet her alone?” I questioned.

“That what she will think and they wont be seen,” she explained.

“I want Cherrie to stay here,” I requested.

“I am not staying here I am going with you and you can’t stop me,” she demanded.

“Please stay here I don’t want you to get hurt or worse killed. My love please stay here for me,” I said as I pulled her close and batted my eyes.

“Fine,” she pouted and crossed her arms.

“Thank you,” I said and kissed her on the forehead.

“Call Lilith to stay with her,” Desdemona told Shiloh, “We have to go.”

“Lilith will be here shortly,” Shiloh said.

We were getting ready to leave and there was a knock at the door. Lilith walked in. It started to rain as we were leaving.

“I will be back, I love you,” I whispered in Cherrie’s ear as I hugged her.

“You better,” she said and kissed me.

The place we had to me Charity was at least an hour away. We fed before we got there so we wouldn’t be weak. We dropped the other two off a couple blocks away and took our time to get there. When we arrived the place looked desolate. They’re where two people standing in the middle of a field. As we got closer we noticed it was Charity and a bent over animal looking thing. I noticed it was a lycan in animal form.

“Desdemona it’s been awhile,” Charity said in an evil voice.

“Why are you in my region? Your not supposed to be here,” Desdemona said even meaner. “Who’s your pet?”

“This is Beatrice she’s a real bitch,” she chuckled. Her lycan growled. “Who’s your pet?”

“I’m no ones pet” I snarl.

“She’s a friend, what do you want? Why are you here?” Desdemona asked

I stood quiet trying not to move. I was getting mad Charity was pushing my buttons.

“You k now why I am here to settle a score,” she said, “I an tired of being second even now.”

“Your jealousy has nothing to do with me now I haven’t seen our maker for decades,” Desdemona explained.

“Your inexperienced vampires killed my friend and they will pay,” I bellowed.

“He was in my way besides you should have stayed to helped,” she said.

I pounced but Desdemona pulled me back.

“Now is not the time, stay put and don’t move,” she told me.

I listened, I didn’t want to but I knew Desdemona will handle it.

“What do you want Charity? What will it take for you to leave and never come back?” Desdemona asked.

“What I want you can’t give me, but I will settle for half your club,” she requested.

“I don’t think so that is all I have your not getting it,” she insisted.

“Well then that’s all I have to say to you, Beatrice get her,” she said as she released the lycan.

Before we knew the lycan had jumped on Desdemona. Without Charity noticing Shiloh and Ezekiel creep up behind her and grabbed her. I pulled the lycan off Desdemona and tied him up. Charity’s hands were tied behind her back and held still.

“Now what are you going to do, you have the upper hand, Are you going to kill me?” she sounded worried.

“I haven’t decided what I am going to do with you I might give our maker Artimis a call,” Desdemona said.

We put the two in the back of the truck and drive back to Desdemona's house. When we arrive Shiloh and Ezekiel take the two the garage. The garage is made into a reinforced cage with thick bars and a lock for the door. Once the two rivals are locked in we can relax I hope.

I walk in the door behind everyone else and Cherrie jumped on me and gave me a big hug. I nearly fell over.

“I was so worried about you, I hate not knowing where you are, or if you’re safe,” Cherrie said excitedly.

“I’m ok, everything went fine,” I said and set her down.

Desdemona went to the phone and called Artimis. Everyone there was tired so they chose a couch and rested. I was worried about the two in the garage. What are we going to do with them until Artimis gets here? Do we feed them? When Desdemona got off the phone she came and sat next to me.

“Well she’s on her way,” she said. “It will take a day or two.”

“What are we going to do with the two in the garage?” I asked.

“I guess we have to feed them until Artimis gets here,” she said.

So for now I have to go out and drain a human and get some steak. Enough to hold them over until Artimis gets here because I do not want to go in that garage anymore than I have to. I take them their food and try to walk out.

“Let me out of her you nobody,” Charity says

“I would be careful what you say to me, remember I’m the one that feeds you,” I warn as I walk out.

When I get inside everyone is getting ready to go home. Lilith leaves first and with a hug from Shiloh and Ezekiel as they walk out the door. I see Cherrie sitting on the couch watching television, she looks at me and winks then returns to her show. Desdemona is pacing in the kitchen.

“What's up boss lady?” I ask.

“I am nervous I haven’t seen Artimis in a long time,” she explains. “I have know idea what she is going to do or say.”

“It’s ok everything will work out, Artimis is your maker she has to be very wise,” I tried to comfort her.

“We will see,” she says.

“Well boss lady Cherrie and I are going to go, unless you want us to stay until Artimis comes,” I ask.

“Would you it would be very comforting if you were her,” she responds.

“Ok we will,” I say.

“Benson, my butler will show you to your room,” she says as she snapped her fingers and her butler came quick.

Cherrie and I followed Benson to an upstairs room it had a big bed that had thick black curtains around it. It was about four hours until sunrise so we decided to go back downstairs and watch television.

 Cherrie laid her head on my lap and rubbed my legs. She didn’t seem to want to watch television. So I turn the television off and pick her up and carry her to the room. Desdemona sees me with her and chuckles. I push the door open with my foot and lay her on the bed. I pull her skirt and shirt off. I lie beside her and kiss her. She pulls my clothes off. We lie there for the longest time rubbing our hands all over each other and kissing. It was very romantic. I pull away and pull the covers up to our necks.

“Goodnight my love,” I tell her.

“I love you,” she whispers and we fall asleep anticipating the next night.

After a good days sleep I let Cherrie sleep and went to find Desdemona. She is in the living room pacing again.

“I can see you haven’t slept well boss lady,” I said.

“No not at all, I’m still waiting for Artimis, scared what might happen,” she admitted.

“What's the worst that can happen all Artimis is going to do is maybe tell them two minuses to beat it and be happy to see you, you are her favorite,” I said trying to relax her.

It seemed to help a little bit but I can see she is still bothered. We sit in front of the fireplace for a while before Cherrie wakes and comes down stairs. She crawls in my lap and kisses my cheek.

“I’m hungry babe,” she whimpers.

“Well we have to feed the things in the garage so lets go, you want to join us boss lady?” I ask.

“No dear I don’t want to miss Artimis I do have something to eat don’t worry,” she says and winks at me.

“All right boss lady,” be back soon.

We drive into town and find the nearest blood bank and buy Charity some blood, then to the store for a piece of meat for the dog. Now for our meal, we don’t really want to play so we find the nearest pair of humans and pull them in and feed. We didn’t want to miss Artimis either. When we arrive at Desdemona's we open the garage and throw the meat and the bags into the cage and go into the house.

“We are back boss lady,” I yell.

Cherrie sits down and turns the television on. I hear Desdemona talking to someone in the kitchen. I go where she is and I see a woman her hair is to her knees, she is tall with baby blue eyes and very pale skin.

“Hey boss lady we are back,” I say quietly.

“Its about time, this is Artimis,” she introduces me to her maker.

“Hello,” I say, “excuse me.”

I run to get Cherrie so she can meet the famous Artimis. I grab her arm and pull her up and towards the kitchen.

“What are you doing,” she yells at me as I pull her in the door.

“This is Artimis,” I tell her, “Artimis this is my love Cherrie.”

“Very nice to meet you beautiful ladies I am glad to see Desdemona knows how to pick them and how to teach someone to pick them,” Artimis compliments.

“Thank you,” I blush, “Well we are going to go in the living room and relax call if you need us.”

“Of course,” Artimis says.

After an hour or so Artimis and Desdemona comes into the living room.

“Well ladies here is what's going on, I am going Charity and Beatrice back with me I will return in two days. They will not I am not going to tell you what I am going to do with them,” Artimis explains, “I am giving Desdemona some money to perk up her bar and for you two here is two thousand dollars to start you life Desdemona told me everything and with that I need you to help me with the two in the garage.”

“Thank you so much I will get them ready and put in your car,” I say.

“Thank you for your help and I’m sorry for all the trouble they caused and most of all for Eric” she sighed.

We walk into the garage and they are asleep. Still not trusting them I handcuff Charity and tie the dogs legs up before I open the door to the cage. I wait until Artimis is in the car until I put the two in the car. I don’t think they would try anything with her here. Artimis waves, starts the car waves and drives away.

“See it wasn’t that bad boss lady,” I chuckle.

“She did more than I expected her to do, so we get to relax for two days until she returns,” Desdemona says.

“Everything will be ok boss lady, we are going to go home, why don’t you go to the bar your always happy there, we will join you later,” I ramble and leave to go home.

When we arrived home Cherrie runs upstairs and jumps in the shower. I call Desdemona without her knowing and arrange another special night because we need it. After the call I go upstairs and sneak in the shower behind Cherrie while she is washing her hair.  I run my hands through her hair and she screams.
