Chapter 19 - Celebrity

We sit around in the lounge area, waiting for Sarah to wake up. I can see Alex studying Sabastian without making it obvious. He is fascinated with my brother, when he notice I caught him staring at Sabastian he quickly states "He looks so familiar... I'm certain I've seen him somewhere, I just can't place it. It's so frustrating"

Sabastian reaches for one of the men's health magazines lying on the coffee table and passes it to Alex, who takes it, not understanding why Sabastian gave him the magazine.

Sabastian: "Page 49 to 52 mate"

Alex narrows his brow and flips the magazine to the pages Sabastian mentioned, and is quite surprise when the Revelation hits him that Sabastian looked familiar because he is a male model.

Sabastian:" Men's health magazines, woman gossip magazines, mostly clothing adverts and men's cologne adverts, lately more website based adverts. But I try to stay out of the public eye as much as possible"

Me: "But he loves the spot light to much... Once a celebrity always a celebrity... That's what got you into this mess in the first place brother"

Alex: "What do you mean?"

Sabastian gives a shy, flattered smile and leans back in his chair, waiting for me to tell his life story.

Me: "After that day at Abigail, my life became rather boring. The witches declared no more treaty between witches and vampires but they decided not to go to war with the vampires...I wasn't allowed to go see Abigail or practice Magick with her again, not that it mattered, I found out our friendship was just a front and she didn't care for me at all, she only wanted Robert, and to be turned, which didn't happen.

After Robert fetched me from Abigail he took me into town, the poverty stricken part of town where we found a young boy, eighteen years old who would do anything for money or food, he was my first Vamparic, I promised him work as my stable boy with a salary, shelter and food... He was eager to agree to my terms.

Alex: "Sabastian?"

Me: "OH good grief, no!... Just filling in some blanks. Years passed, forty three, to be exact... Robert moved us to London. Being a vampire we didn't stay more than fifteen to twenty years in one place, people would get suspicious. Robert owns property across the world and as time passed and technology became more advanced, the period we would stay in one place decreased.

When we lived in London, we went to see a theater play one evening, now back than woman were not allowed to participate In things like theater, so they would dress males up to act the female roles. Theater was very popular among the elite aristocrats and the best theatre houses would choose the best actors. Being a young, beautiful, small feminine built male ensured always getting female roles, leading roles if you could pass as a gorgeous woman"

Alex looks at Sabastian as if he is trying to imagine him in female clothing and make-up.

Sabastian: "Don't you dare call me feminine... I will kick your ass"

Alex can't help but grin, but tries to mask it by taking a big sip of his bourbon.

Me: "Unfortunately Sabastian made such a beautiful woman that Robert decided he had to have him, after the play Robert lured Sabastian away with the promise of grand stage productions, bright lights, riches and being famous... Robert used his seduction on Sabs and made him his Vamparic.

Once back home the female staff was swooning over the new gorgeous kitchen help and Robert was a bit jealous that a Vamparic was able to get so much attention.

Robert liked abusing Vamparics... Particularly a young feminine Boy, he is a sadistical bastard who enjoyed beating Sabastian almost to the point of death.
