A Vampires Life: A Michael Jackson Fan-Fiction

Chapter 8

I came to her stall, I could smell her beautiful scent. I pretended to examine the various flowers she had available while she talked to a lady customer about a wreath for a funeral.

I became nervous the more I waited. Her voice alone was enough to make me crumble to my knees and kiss the ground she graces.

"Hello, sir. Is there a particular thing you're after?" I didn't look up. I didn't want to give the people stalking her a reason to come over.

"No, thanks. I need to ask you something." I said, still with my head down and admiring the flowers.

"Sure, okay."

"Why did you write that letter?"

"Letter? I-uh-I never wrote a letter?" Her voice was thick with confusion. I never said anything but placed the envelope that had her cursive lettering on it onto the table, "this one."

"Michael?" She whispered as she looked around to make sure no one was paying close attention to us.

I smiled, "yes, Kamii." She grabbed my hand, something I didn't expect her to do and dragged me down an aliway between two tall brick buildings.

She checked to make sure no one was coming. Once she was happy that the coast was clear, she turned back to me.

"Jesus, Michael! If my boyfriend and his friends had seen you, they would of killed you." She angrily whispered.

"Why did you write that letter?"

"To keep you safe. You dot know them like I do. They're vile, vicious."

"I can protect you. I promise, I can protect you." I said as I placed my hand on her soft cheek and gently rubbing my thumb, I thought it was to comfort her, but I think it was to comfort myself; To prove to myself that this was real.

"Michael. They're different from you an I. They're-umm... they're"

"They're what? I bet it won't faze me." I encouraged her on as I gave a soft smile.

"They're-"

"We're vampires."

We turned towards the disruption. Kamii's boyfriend and his 'gang' members stood at the end of the aliway.

"Come here Kamii." He said, never taking his eyes away from mine.

"Ashton-"

"NOW!" The man I now know the name of boomed, causing Kamii to jump in the sudden outburst.

"She won't go to you if she doesn't want to. She's her own person." I said as I gently squeezed her shoulder and brought her into my side protectively.

"I should introduce myself, I'm Ashton Jenkins." He smiled.

"Ashton Jenkins...?"

"The coffin is comfortable, by the way."

Kamii turned to look at me, "you know each other?" she asked, then looking at Ashton waiting for one of us to answer her question.

"Not quite," he answered, "he was laying on my coffin while I slumbered inside."

"Why were you on his coffin?" Kamii asked me, "yes, Michael, why were you on my coffin?" Ashton piped in.

"Because I'm also a vampire." I said sadly looking into Kamii's eyes, I was expecting to see her reject me since she already had to deal with a nut job.

"You're a vampire? Why didn't you say?" She sounded hurt. I've hurt her feelings.

"I didn't know you already knew of their existence. I was afraid you'd think I was insane," I replied. I never looked her in the eye, I didn't have to to know she had a hurt expression.

"This is sweet and all, but I'm afraid Kamii has to come with me." Ashton said.

Kamii went to step away from me but I stopped her, "I'm sorry, but she isn't going anywhere- especially not anywhere with you."

Ashton growled, "then I'll take her from you!" He came charging towards us. I pushed Kamii behind be and took a protective stance infront.

"Ashton, enough!" We all stopped and wondered where the voice came from.

"But... father you said that if someone tried to take something that belongs to me, I was to kill them."

A man in the shadow of the aliway, walked into the light, "You do not own a person, Ashton. She is her own person."

The man looked at me, "It's been so long, Michael. How are you doing?"

"How do you know my name?" I asked. I've never met this man before.

"It would be unwise for someone to not know the name of their own son."

"What?" Me and Ashton said in unison.

"Yes. I'm your father, well... your creator. I'm the same to Ashton. I always knew where you were, I know where all my children are." The man said smiling.

"Why? Why did you do this to me?" I asked, the anger I'd been building up all these years was finally being released.

"You would of died that night if I hadn't stepped in."

"Who are you? You abandoned me, left me to figure all this out myself. Why didn't you help?"

"I don't interfere with the learning process of my children. I want them to learn on their own, to not copy others. And my name?" The man said stepping forward into the light more

"My popular name is Dracula," he said smiling.

"Father, I want the girl!" Ashton shouted. The man- Dracula, turned towards Ashton, "unless Michael protects her, you'll have her."

Ashton smiled. "What do you mean?" I asked. "I can see all possible future outcomes. Depending on how the present plays out, either one of these outcomes will happen. In this case either; Ashton gets Kamii, Ashton dies, or Kamii dies. How you all play in the present effects the future, so play nice. Ashton, lets go."

Ashton, his gang and Dracula all left. Leaving me and Kamii, "what does this mean? I'll die?" Kamii asked, "No. You listen to me, you will not die! Okay?" I said as I had a firm grip on her shoulders, she nodded in response.

"C'mon lets get food, you hungry?" Kamii smiled and nodded.
