Cheating On My Girlfriend (With A Gay Vampire)

Chapter 5: Darkness

          Darkness. It incites fear into the hearts of many. The unknown. What could be lurking in the shadows, and in every unseen corner of the cold and dank? Most of the time, it’s nothing. There is nothing waiting in the blackness. But sometimes, there are creatures. They stalk you as you slumber. Awaiting the exact moment you look in their direction, so they can scuttle off into another part of your chamber, barely avoiding your gaze…

         

          As Mitchel began to open his eyes, he slowly became aware of the level of darkness that was held within this room. He could see absolutely nothing. After a short time of trying to adjust his vision to the cold dark, he finally realized that there was no level of light to adjust to. He was in complete blackness.

          Confused and disoriented, Mitchel sat up quick. This proved to be a mistake, as immediately he cried out with immense pain originating in his left temple. He fell to the bed, slowly falling unconscious again, hearing only light and fast footsteps running towards him as he slipped away.

          “Jonas, is he ok?” asked a distant muffled voice.

          “Yea, I believe so. He seemed to have sat up a little too fast. That must’ve put too much stress on his wound.” This voice was closer, but still so muffled.

          “Oh god… Please come around Mitchie…” The voice was clearing up a little. It sounded so familiar.

          “You hit him pretty hard kid. I know you were defending yourself, but a rock wasn’t necessary.” The voices were getting closer, though Mitchel did not recognize this one.

          “I needed to do something quick! I had no idea it was Mitchie…” The voice was clear now. A few feet away as well. It was Joseph, and he sounded quite troubled.

          Not fully aware of his surroundings yet, Mitchel began to move in an attempt to get his bearings of what was around him, without alerting anyone of his consciousness.

          “Hold on, I think he’s waking up.”

          “Well shit. That didn’t work.” Mitchel thought to himself.

          Immediately Mitchel opened his eyes and began to sit up, but was tackled back into a lying position by Joseph, who instantly gave him a big, long kiss.

          Mitchel savored it, melting in the warmth of Josephs lips. But then, like a car crash, everything came back to him.

          “Get the hell off of me!” Mitchel yelled, throwing Joseph off the bed and onto the floor.

          Mitchel took a quick glance around the room to try to devise a way to defend himself if it came to that. The room appeared to be a finished basement. There was a sitting area with a TV and a recliner in one corner of the room, a pinball in the opposite corner. Apparently they used this corner of the room as a sort of sick bed medical office area. Looking around, Mitchel was impressed by the amount of supplies they kept neatly stored in such a small corner. It wasn’t long though before Mitchel was brought back to the situation by an unfamiliar voice.

          Another guy, about as tall as Joseph, asked “Should I sedate him again kid?”

          He was beautiful, with long black hair, light skin, perfect lips, and a nice build; he was every bit as attractive as Joseph, only slightly older. He appeared to be about 19 or 20, with a mature adult like attitude that made him reek of natural born alpha male. Mitchel realized he must be Jonas, as Joseph talks about him all the time.
          Mitchel quickly yelled, “Don’t you dare! I’ll rip you to shreds!”

          “Kid, I don’t think you get it. As soon as I stick you with this needle, you won’t be ripping anyone to shreds, except maybe your pillow if you happen to still feel adventurous while sleeping.” Jonas replied sarcastically.

          “Jonas, don’t. I don’t blame him. The guy did just see me sucking blood from a screaming corps.” Said Joseph with a hint of shame.

          “You killed that guy! What the fuck! You… You were drinking his blood!” Screamed Mitchel.

          “You don’t understand Mitchie.” Replied Joseph calmly.

          “What the fuck don’t I understand!”

          “He was raping a poor defenseless girl… and I was so thirsty… I had to do something.” Joseph replied in a guilty manner.

          “Thirsty?! What the fuck do you mean?! You were fucking thirsty!?”

          “Mitchie, I’m not like you. I need it to survive.”

          “What the fuck are you talking about…?”

          “I’m not human… not in the way you are…” Joseph replied cautiously. “I’m stronger, smarter, and faster. My nails are as sharp as knives and occasionally… I need blood.”

          “What are you saying…?” Mitchel asked, terrified of the answer.

          “I’m not human.”

          “Then what are you?”

          “Not human.”

          “Then WHAT?!”

          “It doesn’t matter.”

          “It absolutely does!”

          Joseph paused for a moment, thinking about what to say next, then calmly stated “I’ll have to do some explaining before I come out and say it.”

          “Fine. You have 5 minutes to explain all this before I call the cops.” Snapped Mitchel.

          “Fat chance kid. We got your phone.” Sneered Jonas.

          “Shut up Jonas.” Snapped Joseph.

          “Whatever.” Jonas lazily replied, tossing himself into a recliner in the far corner of the room. “This should be good.”

          Without wasting more time, Joseph began telling his story. “Basically, there are three breeds of humans on earth. Mortals, halfbreeds, and immortals, or as mortals like to call them, Vampires. Immortals have immense power, being inhumanly strong fast and smart. Unlike halfbreeds, they have to drink blood more regularly and are only capable of digesting blood. Halfbreeds need it to survive as well, but we can also eat regular food. Halfbreeds also have a few keen differences to immortals, such as we tend to feed off of animals, only killing mortals when it is absolutely necessary, whereas immortals only drink mortal blood. We also have razor sharp nails for opening arteries, instead of fangs like immortals. Halfbreeds are created when a male immortal breeds with a female mortal. Though it may sound odd, it happens more than you think. So… I suppose now you know… what do you think of all this?” Joseph asked, nerve racked by Mitchel’s silence.

          “He fainted a couple minutes ago. Probably a mixture of the pain in his head and the fact his boyfriend is a vampire.” Jonas said sarcastically.

          “Must’ve been too much for him… I’ll talk to him when he wakes up again. For now let’s just let him rest.” Joseph said, ushering Jonas out of the room.
