My So-Called Life: The Story Of A Vampire Rock Star

Chapter 9: Marcus

It's been six months and so far the guys seem to be handling the change pretty well. We found the Hunters who attacked them and they became their first meal. I talked to Tom and asked him more about Marcus and he told me what all he knew. He arranged for me to have a meeting with him and said he'd meet me there so that's where I'm going now. I don't know what all I'm gonna say but one thing I do wanna know is why he did this to me.

As I make my way to the address I see Tom outside waiting "Are you ready?" He asked

"Yeah, let's do it," I said

We make our way into the building and start to look around. After two minutes Tom tapped my shoulder "Over there in the corner. That's Marcus."

I look at where he's pointing and my blood freezes I can't believe it's really him. After all this time I'm about to come face to face with the monster who did this to me. The memory of that night comes into my mind and I can feel all the anger and resentment I've been keeping locked up inside of me start to rise. A growl escapes my lips "That Son of a Bitch."

Tom turns to me "Nikki, calm down. I know you're upset but try to not lose your temper. Marcus is one of the oldest and most powerful Vampires ever, he'll kill you before you could even land the first punch. Besides," He said, "I thought you wanted to know why he did this to you? If you piss him off then you'll never get your answers."

"Your right, your right I do want to know why. It's just that all those memories came back up and all I wanted was revenge. He took my life away. Everything I wanted kids, to grow old with someone I love, he took it from me and I can never get it back. And now I wanna know why."

As we made our way to where Marcus was Tom told me to let him talk to him first then he would introduce me. I stood there waiting for Tom to call me over when I felt someone put their hand on me "Hey man, your Nikki Sixx."

"Yeah."

"Shit, man. Why don't you buy my friends and me a drink Mr. Rock Star," The guy said laughing

"Maybe next time, man. I'm busy."

"Oh, come on. It's not like you don't have the money. You have enough to buy everyone here a round or two Mr. Rock Star."

"I said I'm busy."

"Oh, yeah. Doing what?"

"None of your dame business."

"Oh, well, how about I make it my business." He said.

He then drew his fist back and took a swing at me. I grabbed his arm and pulled it behind his back-breaking it. One of his friends broke a bottle and charged at me. Before he could get any closer I got behind him and ripped his throat out.

"Anyone else wanna mess with me?" I asked, "Come on, who's next?" No one even looked up or said anything.

"Nikki, Marcus wants to see you now," Tom said

I followed him to the back and there he was sitting at the table. He looked up and smiled when he saw me, that same bone-chilling smile he had on his face that night. "Well, well, well. I never thought I'd be seeing you again. What's your name, Nikki is it?" He said motioning for me to sit.

"Yes."

"My, my that was quite impressive back there. I do hope you got all of your anger and frustration out with that little squabble. Tom said you have some ill feelings towards me although I can't imagine why."

I could feel my blood starting to boil "Are you KIDDING ME RIGHT NOW!?!?!? ARE YOU REALLY GOING TO SIT THERE AND ACT LIKE YOU DON'T KNOW WHAT YOU DID TO ME? LIKE YOU HAVE NO IDEA WHY I'M ANGRY?"
