The Brethren

Chapter Eight:

15th October, Saturday, sunrise.

Dear Diary,
Last night was a hit, I feasted on 7 people, I mean, I never thought I would be able to manage. It was amazing.

Jay will never understand. I hate being left out, alone. Like I was before Eve. Eve. I suspect they are up to something, always playing chess, I nearly flipped out when I walked into a class and they were at the back playing. I just need him to talk to me, really talk to me.

To teach me, to make me feel wanted, not like I am something he is only sleeping with because it\'s a job.

I hate him; he is a horrible person, vampire, whatever.

I have been thinking a lot more now that I am alone, I know I am a fledgling, but I am powerful, and even Jay said I shielded so well that I seemed like a mortal.

Oh, to be mortal, to be able to cry real tears, eat food, tasteless as it is. And to grow old, I want to grow old diary. I know, I know, I will never grow old, but it will be a nice fantasy.

It would also be nice to see the sun, and to be blind in the night, I will miss those if I became mortal, I know, but to have them back.

All I have left is chocolate, I love chocolate, I wounder why.

I am going to watch soppy love stories now, and eat chocolate till I feel sick, not that I will, mind you.



Crying, she finished her second diary entrance and walked out her room. Stalking in the dark she found her fridge. Even though she was vampire, she had never lost the taste for chocolate.

Opening the door she looked in at the assortment of chocolates. Snickers, mars bars and block chocolate ruled here, even though there was an odd placement of apples and peaches and other fruit, for mortal visitors.

Smiling, she grabbed two snickers and a block of chocolate. Cuddling them close to her, she closed the door and went to the couch.

Stretching out, she put on a movie when there was a knock at the door, by the power in it, it was another vampire, but they were powerful then Jay so it was t him. So who was it?

\"Selenity, come to the door.\"

Came a strong and persuasive voice. She could tell it was trying playing with her mind.

\"Coming.\"

She said, playing her role out perfectly.

Opening the door, she looked out at the midnight haired vampire.

\"Hi.\"

Thorn said. Smiling, he hadn\'t realized she was a vampire, or she hoped.

\"Hi. What you doing here?\"

She inquired casually. Smiling at his beautiful face.

\"Just came to talk, invite me in?\"

He asked, looking inside.

\"Yeah, sure, I was just watching a movie and munching on chocolate.\"

She replied, moving aside and letting him in.

Drifting in, she closed the door behind the graceful vampire, she never really noticed how graceful he really was, she was fascinated by him. Mimicking his movements, she swung her hips and walked past him. She was wearing nothing but her emerald green silk robe, but she didn\'t care, he was another vampire and she wanted to be with him.

\"What movie?\"

He asked, looking at the chocolate on the table, picking up a bit he nibbled on it, leaning back in his chair. Sitting down across him, she smiled and replied.

\"When Harry met Sally.\"

Rolling his eyes, he got up and put a new movie in.

\"Terminator.\"

He said, grinning from ear to ear. It was his all time favorite movie. The sight of his sharp little teeth and the way that the smile lit his face made things tighted below her stomach and she was very glad she was sheilding as strong as she was because she could not deal with feeling sexually attracted to another man... Er, vampire. She felt a slight blush go up her cheeks and Thorn smiled wider at it.

They sat through the whole movie without saying a word, except in a bloody bit, when Selenity would hide, still in role.

She was happy playing mortal, it was like being alive again.

When the movie finished, Selenity had to ask.

\"Why did you came today?\"

\"Because you always knew how to be cool, even in a vampires presence. You are happy with who you are and what you got.\"

He replied, with that, what had stopped Selenity crying about Jay came loose and she was flooded with tears again. The only problem was they were bloody tears, and Thorn noticed.

\"Holy shit!\"

He swore. He was pissed right off now, what had Jay done to this poor girl. it was wrong to do this to someone with power, let alone without getting consent from the higher powers. If they thought she couldn\'t cope, she wouldn\'t become a vampire, and Selenity obviously couldn\'t cope.

\"I want to die.\"

She sobbed out, between wiping her face and eating more chocolate.

\"Selenity, did you ask for this? Look at me, did you?\"

He asked, suddenly concerned for her, if the higher got wind of this, she was dead, for good this time.

\"No, I didn\'t, I would have been happy, just in the blackness.\"

She said. Thorn reached over and took her hand, stopping her putting more chocolate in her mouth. As she looked up, she saw the concern and wanted to be with him more. He wasn\'t a monster, he was an angel. She leant into his hands and allowed him to stroke and pet her in a way that she knew only he could pull off without seeming possesive.

\"Selenity, I\'ll look after you, ask me to stay and I will, all day and all night, until you forcefully make me leave, until I know you will be okay.\"

Smiling at the look in her eyes, he felt the need to take her away from The Institute. It was a horrible place to be for a vampire, even if she was a guest.

\"Stay.\"

She whispered. Getting up she went to her room to sleep off her misery and the feel of his hands. Okay, yes she was sexually attreacted to Thorn, but that did not mean she should give into him... Ever. Oh hell, maybe just a little longer.

Thorn watched her go, worrying all the way. She was so weak that he could feel her arousal, how long had it been since she ate? Getting up he went to look for Jay, and to kill him, unless he was restrained.



Angelique knew where Thorn was, she had sent him. Just to see how she was, to see if she was okay, she knew she survived because she watched Jay drag her from the wreckage.

She felt for Selenity, so lost, working for the wrong side, if only she knew the truth.



Selenity stripped off quickly in the white and gold bathroom. She then stepped into the warm spray and shut the little glass door to the shower. She had loved the bathroom when she had first arrived at the Institute, but now she was vaguely offended by it. It was a bathroom that needed a pure person to use it, all white and shining and prisitne. She stopped herself from the urge to spit on the mirror that started about waist high in the shower.

The mirror had been added by her. Since being turned, she liked to watch her skin take in the warmth of the water and turn as pick as it could. She looked more human when in the hot water of the shower.

The door opened and Selenity whirled, slightly glad the water was hot enough to fog the glass on both sides sp whom ever it was couldn\'t see her.

Giving in to curiosity, she swiped a little bit just in front of her face and someone mirrored her.

Selenity let out a breath.

\"Thorn, you scared me nearly half to life.\"

She said and he chuckled, appreciating the joke as only another dead being could.

\"So, what can I do for you?\"

She asked innocently, and felt blood rush to her face faster then the hot water made it and the slightly twisted smile he gave her. It was a smile that said he was thinking things that involved her, her mirror and him.

\"...Thorn!\"

She squealed as the door was opened and he steped in, naked at the day he was born. Well, actually, more naked then he was born because Selenity was actually positive that he was been born with that leather duster attached to him.

Okay, she was deviating from what she was supposed to be thinking about.

\"...Selenity!\"

He mimiked her and shoved her into the wall with out preamble and pressed himself to her length.

She had no doubt that he was happy to be there either, judging by the hard rod pressed into her stomach.

\"I scented you on the air. I have scented you since I entered you door. You walk around half tense as if you were wanting a gun to shoot me with. But I know better then that Boy Scout of a maker you have. He probably thinks you hate him for some reason, but I know better... And I\'m just giving you a reason to, release some of your tension.\"

He said, all the while holding her hands by her side and rubbing himself in a maddening way over her lower stomach.

\"Say yes...\"

He hissed to her and Selenity\'s knees buckled and he was the only thing holding her up.

\"Yes!\"

She cried and he dropped to his knees suddenly, hands on the backs of her things, still holding her up and plunged his face between her thighs and licked a long wet line in a place that was not meant to be touched by such a thing as a tongue.

Selenity couldn\'t hold back her cry but she tried and bit her bottom lip hard enough that it burst and blood filled her mouth.

Thorn made a sound low in his throat and rose up as suddenly as he was fallen and kissed her bruisingly until she opened her mouth to him and he seemed to crawl down her thoat, drinking every trace of blood he could get until the small wound healed.

\"Tasty... Now turn around.\"

He said in a husky tone and proceeded to help her to turn around.

She found herself with a rather intimate organ pressed between the cheeks of her buttox and the friction it was causing from the soap and water was as maddening as his rubbing was before.

\"Now?\"

He asked, the one time he would ask.

\"Now!\"

Selenity replied with as much restraint as she could manage in such a position.

Thorn plunged into her and paused, fully held by her sweet flesh. Selenity let out a noise and tried to struggle a little but Thorn bit down enough to draw blood from the back of her neck and held on until she grew accostomed to the feel of him inside her. She pushed back as much as she could, letting him know she was ready.

Thorn pulled out slowly and drew a soft noise from Selenity, the scent of blood came with it, but she was already healed from her little ordeal.

He was almost all the way out of her, still holding onto the back of her neck, her blood on his tongue, and plunged inside her again, this time when Selenity called out and squirmed it wasn\'t from pain, or rather, not wholly from pain, but the pain seemed to be as pleasurable for her as the... er, pleasure.

\"Don\'t stop...!\"

Selenity called out and Thorn set up a fast paced rhythem that Selenity joined in as much as she could with teeth digging into her neck.

Thorn bit down harder, but Selenity kept at it until he was forced to release her and bite down again, this time slightly higher and Selenity went limp. Thorn placed her hands on the wet tiles and she kept them there.

He placed his hands on her hips and then slipped one slowly down between her legs, separating them more then they were before and touching her more intimately. He could feel himself sliding in and out of her as he pressed down on her and slowly slid a finger in to join his throbbing member. He started to press it into her walls in a steadily growing pressure that had her crying out every time he pressed.

She jerked out of his grasp in a spasm as she came in a sudden and savage rush. Thorn lunged and bit down again, getting a mouthful of blood and thrust one more time, grabbing himself and squeezing at the same time as she sqeezed with her force of her climax.

He came with a cry that matched her perfectly.

He continued squeezing both himself and Selenity with both hands and let hiself fall to the floor, her riding him. He stayed in side of her and smiled, letting go of her neck.

\"Much better now, aren\'t you love?\"

Selenity didn\'t hear him though, she was collapsed into sleep or a faint, either was good. He lifted her and carried them both wet to the bedroom to await her awakening.

It was going to bea long noght, and hopefully day as well.




15th October, Saturday, afternoon.

Dear Diary,
Tonight I will go out to hunt with Thorn; I will leave a note for Jay though, just to let him know I disowned him, it would be nice to see his face.
Thorn has promised to teach me, it is better then learning by myself. We will meet up with Angelique and some other people.

I finally have mastered the art of breaking veins, Thorn taught me, of course. He will teach me to work my muscles and teach me karate, he said the only way to learn is the hard way, I don\'t care how hard it is though, and I want to learn.

I want Thorn to be my sire, which would have been nice.

Thorn said I would belong, I would have real friends and that I would be able to do anything that I wanted to. I hunt tonight for people with small veins, Thorn said that to drink people with small veins makes them die slower and the blood lasts longer. How engenius, of course he said several other things, but I was... occupied.

Have to go, someone is at the door, I sense it is Jay, I will be nice to him and I hope I won\'t cry. I love him so.



Opening the door, she leaned casually and poked her head out.

\"Yes Jay?\"

She asked, like she said, she would be nice to Jay, even though she was going to leave him.

\"Are we hunting together tonight?\"

He asked, looking hopeful, he must like the chase. Selenity knew she did.

\"No, Jay, I\'m out with new friends tonight. Sorry.\"

She replied, looking behind her, she noticed Thorn stir on the couch, Jay looked in, and looked away,

\"Who\'s that?\"

Jay asked, walking past Selenity and brushing her arm away as easily as a fly. Selenity didn\'t know what to do.

\"Umm, Thorn.\"

She replied, flinching at the look he shot at her over his shoulder.

\"What the hell are you doing here?\"

He asked the lump on the couch, wearily, Thorn opened his eyes only to open them wide in anger rather than surprise.

\"Jay! I asked him to stay, he was checking up on me. Leave him alone, let him be!\"

Selenity half screamed as Jay lifted Thorn up with one hand and carried him over the edge of the couch. Dropping him on the ground.

\"Oh, you asked him to stay did you, and why was that, Selenity?\"

He asked, causing Selenity to flinch again, she saw the pain and hatred in his eyes. Seeing the look, she was almost glad she was receiving it because it was true, and not simply because he thought so. It made it easier to bear.

\"Because he\'s protecting me.\"

Selenity said, daring to gaze into his eyes, looking back at Thorn, she saw the bruise swelling up on his shoulder but restrained herself from rushing over to examine it. That would only make things worse.

\"Oh, from what, Selenity, me?\"

Jay asked, allowing a little bit of hurt into his voice, earning Selenity to soften up and think twice about Thorn.

\"No, from the higher, Jay, you remember the rules don\'t you? Not even you can protect her from them when they come, but all of my vampires can, if only just. She trusts me more than she trusts you.\"

Thorn said, earning himself Jay\'s attention.

\"Oh, yes, I remember the higher, but, oh, wait, I wouldn\'t still be here if it weren\'t for you, huh? What would have happened if you had stayed to help, I would have been here, wait, I AM here.\"

Jay spat at him. Selenity was very confused. Walking slowly, nearly unnoticed, she stepped between them and, looking back and forth, spread calm about her. She watched their shoulders relax, only a little bit, but it was enough to make them reason.

\"Jay, I love you, I will always love you, for ever. Apart maybe in distance but not in heart, I must go with him, will you help to protect me.\"

It wasn\'t a question, but more of a command she knew he would undertake. Turning to Thorn, she continued.

\"Thorn, you are my trusted friend, so is Angelique, but I need him with me, I will learn from you because I wont learn anything from Jay.\" She stopped, feeling the hurt feeling radiating from Jay, \"And I need you to be strong, for me, understand that I\'m not a possession, but one of you.\"

Again the red tears came and she put down her hand and nearly tip toed over to Jay, kissing him lightly, almost no pressure to his lips, but a brushing, she turned to tend to Thorn\'s bruise which hadn\'t healed because he hadn\'t eaten for a while.

Jay left to the quiet scorning of Selenity, indicting Thorn for not eating regularly.

The three of them left together, meeting Thorn\'s friends and Angelique along the way, it was like a feast, but they all felt the power building up in Selenity and in the town. Something was coming, something big.




The End...... Or is it? Sequel Coming Soon!!!
