Through Midnight Eyes {Sequel To October Surprises!}

Vampire Army

"After the stupid bloodsucker finished his gruesome meal, he told me his name. Henry. No last name, just Henry.-"

Gregory almost broke a plank in the floor, "Is there a reason for all this nonsense?"

Rookery simply smiled and gripped me closer to the wooden stake. Remember what I said before? How this was going to be a long story? I was right. Every five seconds, Gregory grows impatient, therefore setting the story back more and more. Time was slowly dragging by.

"I suggest you stop interrupting me boy." Yeah! Stop it! Or I'm gonna be dead by the time he gets to the most suspenseful part of the tale! Maybe that should be the least of my worries now. The scared out of mind expression on my face must have calmed down Greg, for he rolled his eyes and gestured for Rookery to go on.

Vampire Rookery grinned, "That's better. Now, where was I?" I hate when people do that. They pretend to forget what part they were at so someone could remind them. I struggled for breath, so no words could possibly escape my now dry mouth.

"You were talking about the vampire who turned you." Thank you Gregory.

"Ahhh...alright. Anyway, Henry dragged me deeper into the cave, telling me how his master is going to oh so pleased about rounding up more folk. At that moment, all I wanted to do was get away and kill myself. Who wants to be a bloody creature of the night? Anything that isn't humane should be destroyed."

I croaked, "You're not human anymore, if you have forgotten." He didn't seem to appreciate that, for he aimed the stake closer to my beating heart. Okay, Jennifer, word of advise; shut the hell up.

He glared at me then returned his attention to the furious teenage vampire in front of him, "After what seemed like hours, we finally reached the end of the cave. I couldn't believe my eyes. There before us were thousands of vampires lounging about, sipping blood like wine. If Henry didn't have a firm grip on me, I'd probably slaughter the whole lot right then." Shows how stupid he can be.

Gregory's midnight eyes shone with curiosity, "A whole clan?"

"It was more of a clan, boy, it was an army." Rookery resorted quite fearfully.

The grip on me loosen slightly after Rookery got more and more distracted. I took this as an opportunity to quickly scoot away, my escape! The evil vampire cursed under his breath, ashamed that he let me out of his cold clutches. Take THAT!

I settled myself next to Gregory, "What happened after that?"

Rookery dropped the stake, knowing there was no use for it now (well...for now), "Henry brought me to his master. The ugliest brute I ever seen. His arms and fingers were decorated with gold and silver. Obviously, the bloodsucker was filthy rich. Once he saw us, he smiled.-"

~Flashback~ (Third POV)

"Master...I caught another one!" Henry grinned, hoping that his God would be proud of him.

"I see, very good...Henry."

The disappointment in his voice was clearly shown, making the rather young vampire frown. Was he not happy? The order was to turn as many mortals they could find!

Henry's master noticed the distressed presence and barked with evil laughter, "Indeed, you are right Henry. The order was to rip all the humanity from the weak mortal's body. However...look at the thing! Why choose such a...fat and pig looking being! You could have chosen the most strongest mortal around, to strengthen our union! Now tell me, how will this weak vampire help us?"
