A Fall into Darkness

Savior

Katherine looked at those assembled in her home.
"I must feed. You may remain here, but I will need one of you to drive."
"I will drive you my dark mistress." Matthew said stepping forward.
"Then come young Matthew. We shall go and return before the sun rises."
"As you wish my lady." Matthew said, Katherine smiled and turned to the staircase.
"Wait here." She told them, as she headed up the stairs. Each of those that came and vowed to be loyal waited at the base of the stairs, Katherine came down wearing a slightly different outfit with a long silver dagger strapped to her hip. She smiled as all assembled bowed to her  as she stopped at bottom of the stairs.
"Now my children, if you remain loyal that loyalty will be rewarded with a life eternal. And one by one you will be allowed to begin your own brood and continue on my darkness. Never after this time trust anyone outside of these walls. I trust only one human that knows who I am besides you my children."
"Who is this special human?"
"Batman is the only other human I trust. If the mansion is ever attacked there is a button to push to get his aid. But you will never speak of me outside these walls again. If others wish to join us, they speak to Lukas and he brings them before me. I will deem them worthy, if they are not and by this time you have become my dark children you will feed."
"Yes Dark Mistress." They all said in unison.
"I shall return. Be safe my children." Katherine turned and followed Matthew from the house. He opened the door to the car and waited then went around to the driver seat.
"Where to my lady?"
"There is a darker side of Metropolis, that almost brings over those from Gotham." Katherine told him.
"Yes my lady." Matthew started the car and left the property. Katherine stepped from the car.
"You will wait here my sweet. Wait in the car. It can be dangerous on this side of town, and I do not wish to lose you so soon."
"As you command." He said to her, Katherine walked around the car and pulled him into her arms and kissed him deeply. She pulled back and ran her fingers over his face before she turned and almost disappeared into the darkness. He climbed back into the car and locked the doors. He looked around as he waited.
Katherine walked around a corner and heard the whimper of a young woman, she followed the sound and found a large man on top of the woman. She reached and grabbed him by the shoulder and pulled him away from the girl.
"Run child." She said to the girl, the girl scrambled away from them as Katherine pinned the man to a wall.
"You play with children. You are not a man."
"Your a monster." He said to her, she caught his arm as he raised the stake.
"Those don't work on someone as ancient as I am."
"Oh we know, but they will slow you down." Another voice spoke driving a stake into her back, her painfilled scream echoed the alley. She still held one by the throat and broke his neck with one movement, she turned her eyes to the man that stood behind her and grabbed him by the throat she dug her long talon like nails into his flesh and felt blood moving down her arm, she pulled him close and sunk her fangs into his neck and drank him dry and let him fall away from her. She dropped to her knees breathing heavily, she couldn't reach the stake in her back, she pushed herself up and held the wall and moved forward. Her knees buckled again and she dropped down to the ground again, she heard a noise and stood shakily. Her eyes cast up as she saw the deep blue of his costume, he landed next to her and caught her as she fell again.
"Seems we meet again." She said to him.
"You can call me Clark. Should I pull this out?" He asked about the stake in her back.
"If you would be so kind." Katherine said to him. Clark nodded and pulled the stake out, he held her up as her knees buckled.
"What can I do to help you?"
"I need to feed that is all." Katherine said finally being able to stand on her own.
"I saw that you have a new driver."
"My last one died suddenly."
"Killed?"
"Punished. But those are my affairs. You best learn that young Mr. Kent."
"How long have you been doing this?"
"As I said before I am over 1300 years old. I have been doing this a long time."
"Here?"
"Fifteen years. I saw you die." She told him.
"Truly?"
"Yes, as anyone I live in this city and as such watch over those that protect it."
"Then why does only Bruce know who you are?"
"My choice. Very few do know who I truly am."
"Just some rich recluse that never leaves her home?"
"I reinvente myself every so often."
"Same name?"
"My first name has never changed. I just add a new last name."
"Are you in need of more assistance?"
"No, but you have peeked my curiosity. Meet me tomorrow night at where I first met Bruce Wayne. He will tell you where. Have a good evening. And thank you." Katherine said heading down the alley. She needed to find something more, and her prey was there for the taking. A tall lanky man that was counting money from a purse he had stolen. She came out of the shadows and walked toward him, his hazel colored eyes cast upward, the hunger in his eyes as he looked over her slender frame. He let the purse fall to the ground and walked up to her.
"Hello beautiful." He said to her. Katherine smiled, she would play with this one.
"I seem to have taken a wrong turn." Katherine said. He walked up to her, his hand moving to her face as he backed her against the wall. But it was a surprise to him when he did not see fear in her unique eyes.
"What is wrong? I thought you wanted it." She said opening her shirt to expose her breasts. His hands moved down to her exposed breasts, touching them and then leaning in and kissing her deeply. Her hand moved down his body as she moved her hand across the front of his pants and she smiled as he moaned into her mouth.
"Come we can not do this here." She said taking his hand. She saw her car and Matthew stepped from it.
"My dark mistress?"
"Just a toy my pet. He will be gone before we arrive at home."
"Yes my lady." He said to her.
"Come Matthew enjoy my fun." She said as she pulled the unsuspecting man into her car. Matthew smiled and climbed into the back seat with them. Katherine pushed a button on the console in front of her which darkened the front windows and locked all the doors. Matthew placed his hands on Katherine's face and turned her to him and kissed her deeply, they both looked down when they heard their companion moan. Katherine moved quicker than either man expected and she bit down on their toy and drank him dry before opening her door and shoving it out. She looked at Matthew and pulled him into her arms. Her hands moving to his pants as she slid them past his hips and doing the same to her own as she lowered herself onto him. She rocked her hips ever so slowly, Matthew put his hands on her hips and flipped her over and moved in and out of her at a quicker and harder pace while his hands moved over her exposed breasts. She climaxed and felt him slid out of her. Katherine pulled him down to her and kissed him.
"Tell me my pet, do you wish to be the one that spends the most time in my bed?"
"I would be honored my dark mistress."
"I always need a release after feeding. I will bring you to my bed first."
"Yes my mistress."
"Now we must return home. I have to sleep."
"Then home we shall go." Matthew said climbing from the car and getting into the drivers seat. They pulled down the long driveway to her home when he stopped.
"Mistress."
"What is it Matthew?"
"You may want to step out of the car."
Katherine opened her door and looked toward her house, the flames shot into the sky, dead littered the ground out front. She walked forward and then turned her head to see Matthew stumble forward and then drop dead his head rolling onto the ground. Katherine growled as she saw the killer step around the car.
"Now you have none to save you."
"You are alone, none will save you."
Someone came up behind her and placed a cloth over her mouth and nose while holding her tightly in place until she finally went limp.
"Load her in the van and get out of here."
"How did you know that would work?"
"The last man she fed from had a sedative in his blood she was already weakened. Now go."
