Vampire King

Chapter 2

Black, frozen sky reaches down towards the ground of Gotham where few walked on and many kept warm inside their homes. Glacier, snow crystals spun around in the frosted sky laying apon the homeless that can never survive such a cold night.

After many weeks Dick had finally arrived, he came back home to this cold night. He looked rather normal with his beautiful blue eyes again but those fangs he kept where hidden behind his lips. Surrounded by blood the pure meat and flesh of humans. Strong scents of their blood enticed him for a moment and yet he stayed in control of his human shaped form. 'Oh how they where so lucky to be able live another day.' Dick thought as he looked down towards those that never begged but secretly are crying for help.

He wanted to save them all from this cold but what can he do?

His heart had ran cold so long ago and he could not feel and yet he hears the tugging of those above him  the family that he belongs to screaming at him to save at least a child. Dick breathed in slowly as he took quick but humanely steps toward a cramped box where he saw a little boy trembling in the cold seeming thin and bearing their demise.

Dick smiled towards the boy as he lowered himself down to pick them up. Covering their shivering frame with his coat in hopes to keep them warm. He move forward towards his assigned residence where he shall be living for an week enough time in hopes to put this child back to health and give them a well deserved family that can take care of them.

The boy was trembling seeming to be in fear of this srmtrange man taking them away. Dick chuckles and grins a little wider as he walked making sure to block out the cold from this frail boy he had found. And with a soft tone of voice he spoke, "Child don't worry I'm taking you to a place where you can be warm and well." Dick says as they reached closer to the place that Dick had now named his home.

Dick took a closer look at the boy and saw dirty, blond lock of hair and pale skin that have dulled over time. The older male had walked to the door of his home while he holds the boy close to his chest to encase more warmth around their being. He opened the door and walked inside closing it as he locked the door. Soon he went to his bedroom and lays the child down and wrapped them up in his bed sheets. "You are safe now." Dick says as he strokes the boys head lulling them into sleep. Before he left to make them some warm soup to eat.

Dick smiled a little as he saw how the boy snuggled into his bed sheets it was cute. It was the only thing that had made him smile in quite some time now that he was away. He let's out a sighs as he went to grab out some different vegetables and some meat. Just making sure that the boy gets what they need.

The process was a long one as Dick was trying to be careful as he cuts the vegetables and his meat. When he was finally done with the cooking he went back into his room to wake up the boy only to see that they already are. He smiled towards them and guided them to the dining table before he went of to grab their midnight supper.

Dick watched as the boy carefully took the spoon and ate the soup, "How is it? Good I hope." He says trying to get a small conversion out of the boy who seemed rather shy, "It's good better than anything else I had while living on the streets sir." The blonde boy says with a little smile reaching the corner of their lips as they continued to eat. 'This boy he smells delicious.' Dick thought as he licked his lips as the scent of the younger wafted in the air it was intoxicating and it had surely wetted Dicks appetite.

As the boy looked up from his bowl that thank Dick after he had finished he froze as his eyes widen in fear. The small, blonde boy began to tremble at the sight of Dicks glowing red eyes, "What's wrong cat got your tongue?" Dick jokes as he hissed at the boy who tripped and fell onto the floor cutting their hand as they tried to stumble backwards. "Now, now that's no way to treat someone that decided to help you, how rude." Dick spoke out again as he shook his head in fake disappointment and the smell grew stronger as the boy had managed to cut himself.

Dick walked closer to the boy as a devil's smirk crossed his handsome face, "It would be ashame to let this feast go to waste." He growls out and chuckles as he knees down at the boys height, "And now that you have seen what I am I can't afford to let you leave here alive that is." Dick chuckles as the end as he went to the boy neck getting ready to bite down and drain them dry. "Please mister don't do this, I promise not to tell anyone as long as you keep me alive. I have no one. So it would be easy to keep this hidden." The boy merely begs as Dick stopped as his fangs barely grazed their neck.

Dick quickly pulled away and hide his face behind his hand and told the boy, "Run, run as far as you can and never come back. Please I don't know if I can control me hunger for much longer." He begs to the boy who nods and rushed away from the vampire running for his life. And not once had they looked back as they left Dick alone again.
