Chapter 12: Lore and legends

Chapter 12: Lore and legends

‘The first mark to turn you into a vampire.’

The words screamed in his head. Matt tried to understand them but his mind just couldn’t, a vampire? First mark? Matt closed his eyes and ran his hands through his hair. The sound of footsteps snapped his head up. Ezra raised his hands and slowly closed the space between them.

‘Matthew, please, let me explain,’ Ezra’s hand slowly moved forward almost touching the boy. Ezra’s fingers gently grazed the boy’s skin before Matt lost it. Ezra watched as Matt pulled back from him, an animal-like hiss escaping him, white teeth flashing. Ezra thought about stopping him, but instead he allowed him to dart past him and out of the door, seconds passed but Ezra didn’t move. Slowly he sank to his knees, an almost silent sob escaped him...what had he done?

Matt didn’t know where he was going, he moved through the mansion without caring just needing to get away. Sometimes he felt as if he passed someone but when he slowed he was alone. Finally he jerked out a large oak door and paused. The room was filled with books, from ceiling to floor, all four walls.
Matt closed the door and sank to the floor, he knew he should be tired but he felt nothing, he again ran the conversation through his head.

‘First of four, marks, vampire...becoming a vampire.’

Matt slammed his hand on the floor and let a growl escape his lips, he needed to know more, and he needed to know what it all meant. He thought about looking for Warren and asking or even going back to Ezra. Another wave of rage pulsed through him. He would not go to them begging for help, he looked around the large room. He’d look on his own.

Slowly light faded and the room darkened. At some point someone had enter the room and lit candles, but Matt hadn’t noticed. Book after book he pulled down and opened, some in strange languages he’d never seen. He’d found books on everything but what he wanted, there was nothing on vampires. Matt lifted another book down. Turning, he dropped it to the floor as Ezra stood there with a frown on his face. ‘I know what you seek.’ Matt looked away, a sigh made him glance up. Ezra had moved to slump low in a plush chair, a pale hand extended to him. ‘Come beloved, I will tell you all that you should know.’

Ezra watched the inner struggle move over Matt’s face. He wanted nothing more then to pull Matthew into his arms and tell him he was safe, that Ezra was sorry, but he knew that he’d just destroy more of the boy. Carefully he watched as Matt’s shoulders fell and he nodded. Ezra allowed a small glimmer of hope to re-ignite.
‘Come we will go to the dining room, you must be starved.’

Ezra led the way, listening to Matt’s footsteps. Guilt killed the vampire for what he’d done to Matthew. He glanced at the boy. His appearance had changed. It was hardly noticeable to a human but to a vampire it was clear he had been marked. Matt’s green eyes held a red circle surrounding his pupil, his face was paler and he just seemed more...breathtaking.

Matt followed Ezra in silence, watching for any sudden movements. His trust for the vampire was less then nil but he knew he had no choice. As they entered the room, Ezra gestured for Matt to sit. Food once again covered the table. Matt chose a seat opposite Ezra and waited. The vampire sighed, ‘what do you want to know first?’
‘How the hell do I kill you?’

Ezra’s eyes opened wide before a sadness settled in them. ‘There are many ways really; a wooden stake through the heart, a blessed blade of silver, removal of my head. However, holding a cross at me will do nothing, nor will garlic, I’m afraid.’

Matt stayed silent for a moment. He couldn’t believe Ezra had told him the truth, suspicion rippled through him. ‘What did you do to me?’ Ezra sighed and turned his face away from Matt. Something flashed across his face but it was too quick for Matt to guess at.

‘I have started to convert you. Other vampires will see you as belonging to me, you have been made mine.’
Matt opened his mouth to argue but Ezra simply raised his hand, ‘to become a full vampire, a human must exchange blood with the same vampire four times, each time gaining more power. Already you see that you are quicker, stronger, and you’ll heal faster.’

Ezra watched as Matt took in every word, emotion raced across the boys face. Finally after an eternity Matt locked eyes with Ezra. ‘Why did you do this to me?’

Ezra’s breath hitched. He stood and moved away from the table, pulling aside a heavy drape he stared into the inky darkness. ‘I ... it is called a Blood Lust. Many things can cause it, lack of food, pain... emotions. We...When I saw Jason holding you my anger took over, you belong to me… to have another...’ Ezra dropped his head and allowed his eyes to slide close, ‘I am sorry Matthew.’

Matt stared at the vampire’s back, of all the reactions he had ever expected guilt was the last he thought of. He watched the way Ezra’s shoulders slumped as he spoke. To Matt the vampire looked, broken. A sudden urge to comfort the vampire crashed over Matt making him move before he could stop himself. He gripped the edge of the table to stop himself.

Words spilled out of his mouth before he could stop, ‘have you fed?’ He watched as Ezra turned, the candlelight highlighted his features causing Matt’s breath to catch. Ezra looked at him for a second in silence, ‘No, but it does not matter.’ Matt swallowed the lump in his throat and slowly moved towards Ezra, picking up a knife as he moved.

Ezra watched as Matt moved and stalked around the table towards him, a silver knife gleaning in his hand. Ezra allowed a small smile to pass, he had expected this, expected Matt to try and kill him. If that is what it would take he was glad to pay. Matt stopped barely a foot from him and lifted his arm, placing the knife against his wrist.

Matt held the knife carefully in his hand, watching how the light glimmered and danced on the polished silver.
'Matthew, you do not have to do this...'

Matt didn't lift his eyes, without a word or pause he raised the knife and plunged down before he could change his mind. Silence filled the room as blood began to stain the wound. He watched as Ezra followed the trail of blood across his arm. ‘Kneel.’ Ezra’s eyes widened but within seconds he fell to his knees. Matt moved forward, carefully extending his wrist towards Ezra.

Outside the room, watching the exchange, red orbs pierced the darkness. Warren shook with rage as he watched his master fall to his knees in front of the human. He watched as Matt reached for him, as Ezra allowed the human to control him.

Chapter 13: Love triangles

Matt tasted blood, Warren was already rising again, his fangs bared at him. Matt felt panic biting at his senses, he wanted to run to hide but he knew he couldn’t out run him, he just needed to hold him off until... Until what? Ezra saves you?

Chapter 14: Forgiven
Matt slowly became conscious to a voice, the voice was soft like falling snow but it sounded so sad, it was as if the speak where breaking apart. ‘I desire you’re forgiveness, what I have done, what I will do. I am a monster in the truest form of the word, and yet I just want...’ The voice went silent, carefully Matt moved his hand to rest upon Ezra’s, ‘n’thing to forgive.’
