Chapter 4

Four

When Kari came back to the apartment after she dug up the box from the ruins of her house, she immediately started to get ready to summon the Vampire Lords. But her patience with Vincent was starting to grow thin, his blood smelled different than when he left and knew he went to pick up some drugs.

The first glance she had when she first placed eyes on Vincent was that he had done drugs. Most humans don't realize it but it's almost a permanent marking on your system the moment the drugs enter the system.

Kari almost had half the heart to go over to the bar and tell Kyle that she thought Vincent started up on drugs but right now she had to get started. So she picked up her silver dagger that she bought just recently and a few minutes ago put a Vampiric spell on it while carving into the metal with one of her claws the symbol of the Vendetta as she sat on Vincent's bed, but before she could do anything else she had a knock on the door.

"Kari, can I have a word with you?" The voice asked.

"Sure Vincent, come on in the door's not locked." Kari sighed before quickly putting away her things and hid the bag underneath the bed just as the door opened.

"Sorry I've been such a jerk to you lately . . . " Were the words that came out of Vincent's mouth as soon as he had walked in and closed the door.

"It's alright . . . but I have some questions I need to ask you." Kari said as she pulled up a chair for Vincent which he gladly took.

"Throw them." Vincent said as he rose and dropped his arms on his lap, showing that he was ready for anything.

"You're doing drugs aren't you?" Kari asked, straight to the point, she was never someone to go around the bush as some might say.

"Why do you ask?" Vincent panicked.

"Because...you don't smell the way I remember . . . it smells like you're doing meth." Kari explained as she leaned forward a little bit.

"Wait . . . only vampires can . . . " Vincent started saying before he was interrupted.

"Smell human blood, I know that." Kari sighed. "And it's about time I tell you my oh so dark secret."

"What do you mean?" Vincent asked, a little confused.

"I'm a vampire." Kari answered, and to prove her point, she grew her fangs, thinking about a river of blood and blood curling screams.

Vincent's eyes grew to the size of dinner plates as he stood up and stumbled back all the way against the door, his mouth opening and closing as he was either lost for words or he was pissed cause his face started to turn red. "You're a what!?"

"I'm a vampire . . . that's my big secret from you Vincent." Kari sighed, her fangs going back to normal and she reached under the bed to pull her bag back out again.

"W-What are you doing?" Vincent asked, his hands looking for the door handle with fail.

"I'm calling the Vendetta . . . " She answered, pulling out the silver dagger as she stood up and walked to the opened wall by the dresser.

"How are you doing that and who in the hell is this Vendetta?" Vincent asked.

"They're Vampire Lords, they're the ones that set laws on vampires and punish those that break them." Kari explained as she cut open a finger and let the blood drip down her hand a little bit before she started writing on the wall with it. "They're more like a Vampire Council but they insist on being called Vendetta or Lords."

"You better find a way to get that off my wall! If my landlord saw that I'd be kicked out within a heart beat!" Vincent nearly yelled.

"It disappears when they arrive." Kari explained. "But bring me that book that's in my bag please."

Vincent hesitated but he did what he was asked since she was polite, but when he reached into the bag and grasped the book, he shrieked and removed his hand from the bag quickly, "What in the hell is it!?"

"It's just an old leather book, it feels different than the others because it's ten times older than me." Kari explained and sat down on the floor Indian style. "And I'm two hundred-twenty one."

Vincent said nothing, completely oblivious to what she said her age was but looked back at the bag and just picked it up and tossed it to Kari who caught it easily, "You get it, I'm not touching it again . . . it's slimy."

Kari only laughed and grabbed her book, opening it to the page she marked and drew in a few more signs before standing up and walked a precise measure of foot steps from the mess on the wall. She muttered something that Vincent couldn't understand or barely hear but jumped nearly all the way to the ceiling as Kari turned around and threw the dagger into the wall by the blade. Once it made contact with the wall and embedded itself in it, the circle of blood and all the symbols started glowing a bright blue color before three people stood in front of it. The glow disappearing along with the circle.

"Well, I was wondering when you'd be calling us forward Kari." One of the three people said.

"Sorry my lord, I apologize." Kari said, she was a little annoyed hearing that they've been waiting for her all this time.

"Apology accepted Kari." Taller male said.

Kari's head bowed to the male that spoke and Vincent finally found his voice box, "I'm so fucking dead!" were the only words he could find.

"And you are?" The same male asked as he looked over to Vincent.

"I'm Vincent . . . Vincent Gaiden." He answered, still a little shaken up.

"He's the one I'm calling you about.”

"Why him? He's merely a human." The female asked.

"Five vampires among this area have been visiting his place of employment and feeding off this employee while in an intoxicated state." Kari explained as she shifted on her feet. "The names are Psyren Adams, Belle Carpenter, Dale White, Sean Austin, and Raphiel Valen. Although Dale and Sean didn't feed, they don't lift a finger to tell them to stop."

"Oh I see." Another male nodded.

"And Armada, will you calm down, your aura of anger is pressuring me."

"Sorry Rikuzo." The one named Armada said and calmed down some, but not completely.

"I will like you to gather all five of these younglings and bring their parents along with you if you don't mind Kari." Rikuzo said.

Vincent growled as he turned to leave his bedroom. “Wait . . . They're not coming into my house! And I want all of you out of my bedroom right now!”

"He's mad . . . " Armada snickered, her pearly white fangs showing as everyone went to the living room.

"No feeding off the human Armada.” Rikuzo growled, smacking Armada on the back of her head.

. . . . . . . . .

Kari was annoyed, she didn't want to be around these people that burned her house down and she was getting close to ripping each of the younglings heads off as she walked with Belle, Dale, Sean, Raphiel and all their parents walked up the pathway to the front doors of the Adams residence when the door burst open and Mr. Adams stood there looking furious, his face was red with frustration but he knew that Kari was doing the right thing, but he didn't want to think that it was. It was his own daughter that Kari was turning in.

“How dare you Kari!”

“How dare I what? I got from Raphiel that it was Psyren leading the expedition to burn my home down, Belle got the idea first though.” Kari explained as his eyes turned from their onyx color to a bright red within seconds.

“You aren’t taking my only daughter to the Vendetta!” Mr. Adams screamed.

“I have no choice, they ordered me to bring all five of them up with their parents, refuse this and you’ll be added. My patience has grown thin enough with her as it is.” Kari growled, her patience growing even more thinner by the second when Psyren walked up to the door way.

Mr. Adams stood there shaking until a few minutes later, he gave in and placed one of his hands onto

Psyren's shoulder, signaling that they were leaving and called Mrs. Adams over to the front door. “We've got to go Eve . . .”

“Where are we going Gary?” Eve asked as she grabbed her cardigan and threw it over her shoulders gracefully.

“We've got to go see the Vendetta.” Gary said quietly and they were on their way.

“What?” Eve shrieked.

“We are leaving with Kari and the others Eve . . . it's mandatory.” Gary explained, using short words because they were running late. “Where are we meeting the Vendetta Kari?”

“I'll show you, just follow me and make sure you keep up.” Kari hissed and ran off towards the bar with her

vampire speed.

. . . . . . . . .

When the club doors opened, the Vendetta turned in their seats with their drinks in hand and looked at the group. Armada's expression changed from one that was bored to one that was excited. She always loved being the bearer of bad news. She put her now empty glass down as she licked her lips slowly before standing.

“Well, we've all gathered here because we, as in Rikuzo, Genzo and I, understand that this is where five, young and under-aged vampires attacked an intoxicated employee by the name of Vincent Gaiden. The report made by Kari Von Wolfgang.” She listed off in a . . . fashionable manner. “Are there any that oppose?

“Well I do!” All the parents screamed at once, most of them putting their children behind their backs.

“You don't have any real proof that this was happening.” Mrs. Valen protested.

“That's where you have it wrong.” Kari smirked and pulled out her laptop that had the camera connected to it.

The room tensed immediately as the five young vampires tried to find escape routes.

Kari put the tape into the camera and pushed play when she had the screen facing the families, all the parents stepping in to get a good look of the video.

“Lets make this more interesting and have him completely stripped, you girls wanna use him as a sex toy?” Raphiel suggested as he took his coat and sweater off, leaving his torso bare as the camera got a good shot of him

“That’s an excellent idea Raph.” Psyren smiled and looked at the camera like she was talking to the people that were watching.

“I love it when you come up with ideas that I can agree to.” Belle laughed and stood up after she moved Vincent out of her way.

Psyren and Belle took their clothes off, making sure to do it slow for the camera as Raphiel got Vincent ready, striping him of his clothes and brought him back to consciousness. Vincent only groaned and stirred a little bit and Raphiel grabbed some rope that was under the bed and tied Vincent’s hands and feet to the bed boards.

Vincent's eyes opened slightly as the camera zoomed in to get a good look of his face but he could barely see because his vision was blurred really bad and the next thing he knew, he felt a hand gently touch his groin and fingers gently making small circles up and down around his lower stomach and groin, this caused him to moan and arch his back, unannounced to him cause of the alcohol, he was starting to get a hard on.

"Your camera on Dale?" Belle chimed happily.

"Yes Belle, it's been on for three minutes." He sighed in annoyance.

Raphiel said nothing but grinned as he began working on Vincent's nipples, he sucked on the right nipple as he twisted it between his teeth, causing Vincent to groan and moan at the same time as his hands pulled at the ropes. Just then, Psyren and Belle joined in as Psyren moved Raphiel's hand away from Vincent's hard on as she hungrily licked his length slowly before she slid it into her mouth, thrusting it in and out at a slow pace as her eyes closed. Belle just climbed to the other side of the bed where it was free and licked Vincent's neck slowly as she used her left hand to gently tease his free nipple. All this excitement was making Vincent begging for more as his back arched a little more, but he didn't remember he was in the room with vampires.

Belle, Psyren and Raphiel continued to toy with Vincent until he was close to reaching his climax which came rather quickly due to the alcohol again and at the same time, all three vampires pulled back and sank their fangs into him; Raphiel took the right nipple, Bell took the neck as she covered his mouth and Psyren sank her teeth into his pulsing hard on. When Vincent felt the pain that immediately rushed through his body, he thrashed and pulled at the ropes around his hands and feet as he screamed into Belle's hand as loud as he could but his screams could barely be heard.

The door to the room then blasted off it's hinges when all five vampires nearly jumped out of their skin from the unexpected interruption.

“What are you guys doing back here?” A female voice asked.

"U-um . . . n-nothing Kari." Belle tried to lie but she knew it wouldn't work since they didn't have

time to cover Vincent or put their clothes back on and hide the camera.

"It doesn't look like nothing Belle . . . " Kari growled.

There was a clicking noise in the background close to the camera as a red light flashed in one of the corners of the screen. Dale had saved the footage before quickly turning it off with a blur of color before the screen went black.

“Psyren!”

“Dale!”

“Raphiel!”

“Sean!”

“Belle!”

All five of the kids' names were screamed at once by their parents. All the adults going on the offensive as they turned to their kids and were ready to lash out at them when something stopped them. They couldn't move their bodies except for their head as they sort of froze in place when Armada's hand went up.

“Vincent Gaiden, were you overtly intoxicated when this happened?” Rikuzo asked, looking down at his glass before averting his eyes over to Vincent.

“I have no recollection of this ever happening.” Vincent answered truthfully. “And when I don't remember things like that, I'm usually beyond intoxicated, almost needing to be sent to the hospital.”

“You five are sentenced to fifty years of isolation on the south pole, no contact with anyone, you are forbidden from any outside contact other than the guards we'll be stationing there.” Genzo barked. “Now get out of my fucking sight!”

The five convicted vampires got out of the Vendetta’s sight quickly but Mr. Adams and the rest of the adults stayed behind next to the Vendetta and Kari, but they lost interest and went home when Armada released them. They were tired, had massive headaches and just wanted to be left alone for a while. It's not every day a parent gets to see their own child become a sex addict and break the laws intentionally.

“Just kill them all, I’ve suffered enough with them so just get rid of them, take their fucking existence off the fucking planet! I'd like it if you all disappeared from the face of the earth. Just get out of the bar now so that we can open before I kill you myself!” Vincent barked out as his eye-teeth started to grow into short, thin fangs as his eyes started changing into a reddish, rust color as his pupil looked like a cat's eye.

Everyone just stared at Vincent, Kyle started to worry again and Kari was aghast along with the Vendetta who were growling at him, Kyle had to try to hold him back so he wouldn’t attack the group as one of the Vendetta said, “You got guts kid, but don’t ever say that again, we’ll just grant us a wish of getting rid of you instead of the vampire race, not all vampires are like the one’s you’ve met, Kari on the other hand in the most innocent vampire in the world so get to know her . . . oh that reminds me, I want to talk to you when we’re done here Kari.” Genzo said.

“Yes sir.” Was all Kari said and bowed her head slightly.

Kari silently came up from behind Vincent with a bottle in hand and broke it over his head with barely any strength as she knocked him out cold so he wouldn’t do anything else stupid saying, “I’m sorry Kyle, it’s for his own good…”

Kyle mumbled under his breath and went to the back to put Vincent on one of the beds until he woke up.

“Would you like to join us Kari?” Rikuzo asked.

“Why would I join you guys?” Kari asked as she rose an eyebrow. “You didn’t help my clan when they were being killed off by my brother over two hundred years ago, and I’ll never forgive you for that either. It’s one reason why I didn’t go straight to you guys when I found out what they were doing…”

“Hmmm . . . your brother is a pain too, we’ve found him but he’s moved since then and that was just before we came here.” Genzo noted.

“He was in the area, here in Vermont.” Armada added.

“We’re also here for a few days to make sure you don’t do anything stupid to go after him like you did a hundred years ago, Synyster was one of our prized vampires that we had to get rid of because of what he was doing to humans. He on the other hand, we gave the death sentence to . . . ” Rikuzo sighed.

“He killed over a hundred in just one year . . . no, over a thousand if I remember correctly, I think. He also did experiments on them.” Armada too added with some question in her voice.

Kari without thinking went after Rikuzo and grabbed him by the neck as her fangs were grown to their full length and her eyes were a blood red as she said, “And you never had the fucking heart to tell me? It’s my job to make sure he’s fucking dead, not yours. Now leave my business alone and get out of this country before I do kill you all.”

Armada was the first to move and dragged Kari off of Rikuzo. Throwing her across the room like she was a rag doll.

“You don’t threaten the elders child, if you threaten us like that again, we will see to it that you and your brother get the death penalty.” Armada snarled and the three left within a blink of an eye while Kari got on her feet.

Her head was pounding and the bangs on the club doors weren’t making it better so she walked over and opened them just to scream, “We’re opening late, come back in a little bit!”

At that, everyone left because they were mostly vampires and knew who she was and the others left because they were thinking about going to another bar if they were closed anyway and she slammed the door closed, locking it as she walked to the back just to get punched square in the face by a woken up Vincent.

“Don’t do that to me again!” Vincent barked and then started cradling his now broken fist.

“I’m sorry Vincent but it was either what I did or you would be dead by now.” Kari explained and then

healed Vincent's hand before she went to the door of the bar and left for a walk.

Vincent followed her quietly and said, “Thanks for healing my hand . . . and saving my life, I’m sorry for hitting your face like that.”

“You’re fine, we need to straighten this place up before we open in a few hours.” Was all Kari said and she went the direction that the mountains were in. “And your welcome.”

Vincent then nodded his head slightly and watched her leave before going back into the bar. He was tired and the lump on the back of his head was starting to be a real pain. Him and Kyle decided that they would open tomorrow because no one was in the mood to work that night. Kari went out, Vincent had the headache of his life and Kyle was starting to get one.
