Path of the Vampire forum

“It is just my servant.” he said, as Kaelyn looked at him curiously. “Remember I promised to allow you to feed from me, if you were a good girl?” He leaned in and nibbled along her neck gently. Her blood would be so delicious, he could almost taste it on his lips already as his teeth gently followed her aorta. How much he longed for that taste, not only would it be so sweet but also much more powerful than the watered down blood of those weak vampires he usually fed on.

“I will have her hold the amulet for me while you feed on me. Unfortunately I cannot give it to you. Because I would like a taste of your sweet delicious virgin blood, too.” With a smile on his lips, he said it as if it was nothing unusual at all for a human to feed from a vampire.

He watched her lick her lips hungrily. Oh so much he know that feeling, knew it better then she’d have thought. He leaned in a little and let his tongue flicker against those sweet lips of hers. “And yes, it is. She actually is a vampire too, but of much weaker blood then yours. She serves me because I saved her life.” Well spared her life would most like be a better expression. But he was sure that without him she would have gotten killed very soon anyway. Just like her sire.

“Yes I am a blood thief”. It wasn’t a good idea to keep that a secret from his girlfriend. Especially not when there already were vampires, who knew. All these turned paladins. Well Mini wouldn’t ever tell. But he wasn’t so sure about the others.

He looked into Kaelyn’s eyes now, hoping his revelation wouldn’t change her opinion about him, her feelings for him.

“A new rule?” He asked in playful surprise, but then became serious as she voiced her suggestion. On the the one hand he was surprised and excited by the fact she willingly offered her blood to him. The two other vampires that ever found out he was a blood thief were very reluctant to offer him there blood. So it was wonderful that Kaelyn seemed rather happy about the prospect of him feeding from her. Yet, this would be a rule that was very hard to follow. Unlike her he didn’t need blood to survive. But it provided him with powers. When injured he needed the Countess’ blood to heal the wounds. Maybe Kaelyn had similar powers? He had no idea yet what powers he’d gain from her.

“I am not sure if this rule would work for me. ”He explained “I don’t have as many supernatural powers of my own as you or another experienced vampire has. I gain those by feeding from vampires. I still yet don’t know of all the powers I could possibly gain. And what powers I could gain from you.” He kissed her neck softly. “I’ve never fed from a vampire as powerful as you are before.”

He could have called the Countess in now, but he first wanted to hear Kaelyn’s reply.

He was glad that she didn’t take offense to his objections. “ I will not demand you to only feed from me either.” He told her. Hunting was part of the joy of feeding after all. As she listed her powers his eyes began to shine in excitement. She really was a powerful vampire. And yes she was right, there was plenty of things she could do that he could not. It would be great to be able to do these things too after feeding from her. Now he was even more eager to taste her blood.

“I am pretty sure all of these powers could be helpful to me”, he replied before he happily returned her kiss, “your greatest power of all though are your kisses. Nothing on earth compares to them.”

Longing to feed from her blood as he was he added. “I will now call Millarca so she can hold my amulet before you bite me.” One arm wrapped around Kaelyn’s waist, he reached for his webphone, quickly sending a message to her telling the vampire servant to come into his shop’s showroom.

It took only a few minutes and the door opened. In stepped a young brunette woman - not older than Kaelyn’s body - dressed in a long black gold embroidered dress like one a eastern European noble woman might have worn about two hundred years ago. Her skin was rather pale and she walked with measured steps. For a moment a green eyed stare fell upon Kaelyn.

The young woman said nothing though but took a step forward, then bowed before the other vampire, her arm making an elaborate gesture of courtly greeting while she sank to her knees. Stag watched the scene in bewildered amusement, it seemed as if the Countess had secretly practised this old-fashioned greeting for quite some time.

“Kaelyn, this is the Countess Millarca, my servant. Millarca this is Kaelyn, my girlfriend.” Green eyes flared up for a moment at these words, but then the Countess humbly bowed her head again. It was obvious Stag was a bit uncomfortable with her behaviour, thinking she was overdoing it quite a bit. “By all means, rise”, he spoke.

“As you can imagine”, he added for Kaelyn, “Millarca is a great fan of these novels”, Stagger Lee pointed at the shelf of classic vampire novels. The Countess’ isolation from vampiric society had lead her to live a vampiric existence that tried to imitate these books.
