Chapter One: Going Back to the Beginning (1988)
Nickolas Locke is a powerful, strong Full Blood vampire in his late twenties that could very well be the leader of them all. Born from a wealthy upper class vampire family he was in line for control of the whole vampire race just like all the Locke's before him. He could of easily have controlled without any rebellion but instead of using his power and strength to lead he chose to give up all the power he had to Scott Hansen at the age of eighteen.
Now years later Nickolas is just like any other vampire standing beneath Scott doing as he is told. The only difference is Nickolas is Scott's right hand man making Nickolas higher than the other vampires but still not by much. As much as Nickolas hates not being the leader he can't complain he gave it up willingly. He didn't want to have to be in charge and lead the vampires like his father had. Nickolas saw too much work in being I'm charge and saw no time to be able to do as he pleased. I know it seems like such a poor excuse but at the time Nickolas didn't see it that way. He has always seen power and control as something he cared very little about. Being in charge was never something he wanted even from a young age watching his father.
If only his father could see him now though he would probably have his son killed for being such a coward for his actions. His father would be right too because what Nickolas did went against everything he was taught and would be shaming the family name for generations to come. You might ask yourself why wasn't Nickolas man enough to begin with to take what was rightfully his? Why would he waste such great power and do nothing with it? Why can't he just simply take back what was his?
All very good questions people still ask themselves but the answer is simple Nickolas Locke doesn't care about any of that. Nickolas Locke doesn't need power or to do anything to feel better about himself. Yes, he's below Scott but does it matter? Nickolas still has his power and strength and nothing will change that. Nickolas just chose the easier path to living as Full Blood vampire instead of using his power to get him farther in life. And you might be asking how do I know this is what Nickolas want and how do I know so much about him. Well I am Nickolas Locke and this is my life.
Not a very bad life if you ask anyone around especially since I know people envy me still by the way they look at me. Vampires aren't very different from humans we are actually very much alike. Vampires also have the wealthy, middle class and poor class and well I'm high up. I live in my families mansion that has been in my family for years. A huge place I have to call my own where I live by myself. I know most people would think why would I want to be alone and not find someone to spend my life with lie most Full Bloods do. The honest answer is I don't need someone to make my life better when I'm perfectly fine being alone and not having to worry about someone else. Yes, having someone to claim as mine would be nice but I don't see that happening in the near future.
In all the years I've been alive I have never met someone I knew was the person I wanted to be with forever. None of the Full Blood vampires I've met even come close. Maybe I'm not an easy person to please or I'm just judging too hard but none of them seem to be what I'm looking for. Besides even if I did find someone I don't think I would have the time for them. With working for Scott and my other hobbies I'm busy most of the time distracted that I barely have time to reslize I'm all alone. All alone, when I really think about it like that it sounds depressing but it's not. Being alone isn't that bad it's actually something I'm quite fond of more than being around others.
Plenty of other vampires find it weird I would want to be alone when being alone well it's lonely. It isn't like I'm bad looking guy because I'm not. I have short dirty dirty blonde hair that I got from my mother and the same auburn eyes as my father. Other than the blonde hair I look exactly like my father peoples always tell even now. I stand a six term with a strong fit body able to tame on anyone that stands in my way. I'm not one to fight but I will if I have to.
Just by looking at me most people don't dare not to do what I say because they know I'm someone to fear. I'm not some scrawny Full Blood that gave up my power because I'm weak. Like I said before I'm far more powerful and strong compared to any other Full Blood vampire. I make sure to stay in shape by working out because it's important to me. Especailly when I want to strike fear into others. Standing next to Scott means I have to be the person he can come to when he needs me to take care of something or someone. I can't just do nothing otherwise Scott will find someone else to take my place.
A lot of Full Bloods and Half Bloods talk among each other discussing how they find me quite different from my behavior or actions and how they don't understand me. Most of them still wondering how I could be so ignorant and naive when I was eighteen to just hand over the power of authority to Scott but all I can tell them is it was my decision. I didn't want to be in charge of all the Full Blood and Half Blood vampires that exist everywhere. Yes, I admit I don't agree with everything Scott says but there isn't much I can do now is there?
Everything concerning our race Scott deals with and I just go along with it. I don't question him because I know I have no right to. Do I think he is right all the time? No, because Scott and I have differing opinions and views on humans. Of course I didn't know this until after I gave him full control leaving me blindsided not knowing what he really thought before.
Scott ans Patrica his wife hate humans more than any other vampires I know. They despise humans and anyone that associates with them. They both see humans as weak and meaningless creatures that don't deserve to live. Scott hates the fact that humans still have control over us since a contract was signed centuries ago that we would never harm humans more than just to feed. A contract that never really bothered the others until Scott took over.
If you ask me I don't really care for humans either. I agree they are weak but I don't hate them by all means.How cam I hate humans when they are the ones I feed off? I can't which makes what Scott thinks and says not make much sense if you really think about it. He thinks killing off the human race will solve everything but really it will only be killing us off at the same time. Vampires need human blood to survive otherwise we won't survive. Knowing they are far weaker and powerful as us gives us an advantage over them. I see it as we can use them as pawns and play with their heads to do way we want but killing them for being weak isn't what I think should be done.
Scott is way over his head thinking he can change the rules that have been set for centuries. For instance mixing with humans and creating Half Bloods was never a concern for my father. He wasn't a fan of it at first but wasn't going to say it should be banned and forbidden. My father was always trying to be the person in middle not wanting to cause problems or trouble. He didn't see anything wring with mixing if it still meant our relationship with humans was good.
So do I now regret handing Scott my control and power knowing how he feels? Maybe a little but I don't think he would ever do something to jeopardize everything my father worked for. At least I hope not because if he did I would be to blame.
