Immortal Vampire
Preview from Chapter 6. - Part 2.

“You can see my true form now can’t you Billy, you can see everything now, you will see this same light when ever you look at your captain, every full vampire you meet, including the turned humans will show you this light, it is how you will know your own. Now though you must feed and gain your strength” She moved to the door in an instant, it was as though the time between her leaving her chair and arriving at the door had been cleaved out, she called a steward and ordered him to fetch a blood slave.


Presently a fair youth appeared in the doorway of my cabin, I could see the veins through his skin and smell the blood as it pumped thickly through his frantic heart. The smell of his fear drew me to him; fear had a flavor and a texture now that I had not noticed before, it enthralled me. As I captured him with my thoughts, I took the boy, it seemed natural, effortless, I felt my own fangs distend for the first time as the hunger encompassed me.

I was in the midst of a primal need that would only find fulfillment in the letting of this child’s heated blood. I bit down deeply into the startled boy’s jugular and as my teeth penetrated his lively flesh I heard the graceful, perfect popping of his vein signifying our fatal union. I had the strength of 5 or so men and I was still in a weakened state, a new born vampire, I drained the boy quickly, his blood was utterly intoxicating as it heightened all my senses. Then Lillith said.

“Sleep now Billy, I will be with your captain, and when you wake, you will be Lucian Dracul the Black” she left the cabin, my hunger satisfied, I slept.

Hours later I awoke, thoughts of the sensual Lillith emblazoned brightly in my mind, I sat straight up, I was awake like I never had been before, and I felt no lack for anything. I wanted her, to be with her, I had never felt anything so strongly, a magnetism that drew me to rise and leave my cabin. I climbed the narrow stairs to the next level and the captain’s cabin. I entered not bothering to knock as the old Billy would have done.

“Lucian” I heard the name and like the remembrance of some long forgotten tune, it was familiar. The captain stood before my.

“Hello Lucian” he said gently, I knew him but he wasn’t the man I had left here only hours before. Now, in front of me stood a vampire, his immortal radiance lighted up the entire room, he was naked and magnificent, my mouth dropped open, I was overcome and I fell to my knees.

From behind him I heard Lillith’s sweet voice.

“You see Billy, I told you of this, your captain, who by the way, you now know as Viktor, is now also of my blood, you are both Dracul” I raised myself to my feet and embracing the captain saying.

“My lord, we are new” He was more beautiful than ever, there was not paradox in him now, he was wholly vampire and as his handsome smile spread across his face I realized that I now shared a peculiar desire I had previously only seen in him.
“Hello Viktor” I said ignoring the feeling. We were perfectly in tune, aware of each other, and as we were soon to discover, even over great distances; our human friendship had been frail compared with the dark blood bond we now shared. We embraced again and Lillith joined us in our minds.

As the Emperor set sail for the return voyage to Bougainville, Lillith stayed onboard, she talked endlessly of great historical events as she trained us for our future as immortals. Lillith spoke of our evolution and told me that, the evolution of the vampire had paralleled with that of the humans but the vampires had always been in control. In the beginning vampires roamed the earth in linear time much as humans still do; they were wild and unpredictable creatures even among their own societies. Then the first of the vampire princes was born, he was a new breed of vampire, his name was Asmodeus and he was the first of the princes to discover the non-linear existence.

Asmodeus developed the skill of physical self projection and through long years of quiet meditation, he awakened the latent vampire abilities within himself. He learned to levitate himself and other objects; he extended his physical perceptual range so that he could see in total darkness and hear a mouse fart. He saw the potential for what was completely natural to vampires, being super-natural to humans and so he exploited his powers. As more and more vampires acquired Asmodeus’ skills the vampire empire grew more civilized. High princes taught meditation to their familiar humans who spread the practice amongst their own kind.

Mythologies evolved around these teachers, they were called saints and prophets and they were rumored to have the power to levitate, raise the dead and perform endless miracles. All this worked in the vampires favor to civilize and subdue the humans, various religious sects and great spiritual paths promising nirvana and life after death rose up, humans through their natural fear of everything, clung mindlessly to the ideas perpetrated by the vampire princes. Eventually the vampire empire became the civilized order of the princes of the Black Rose; they remained completely cloaked in the human world, with only the scary unbelievable bedtime tales of old woman and mindless priests to identify them.

About 250 hundred years ago a count from Eastern Europe ventured overland to England to buy property and enlarge his estates; on the voyage to Dover across the English Channel, the count did not dispose properly of all the evidence of his feeding. There were already whispered rumors following him, of the trail of blood drained corpses left scattered across Europe by this mysterious count. Some paranoid investigations were conducted by the various European authorities but the results were inconclusive.

Finally it was rumored that the blood thirsty count had been cornered in the city of London, at the same time there was a great fire that engulfed many sections of the dilapidated city. Fortunately the count was able to use this fire as cover, managing to escape but the rumors persisted, it was even rumored that the count himself had set the fires to cover his escape.

The rumored exposure of a vampire was enough to signal the end for all vampires in Europe. The talk and persistent fearfulness of the gossip that sprang up like daffodils in springtime was ruinous to our kind and many great princes were slaughtered in the preceding years. That was the beginning the great European exodus, Asmodeus himself head of the High Council of vampires called for our immediate departure from Europe to find fresh feeding grounds in the south. An armada was assembled in secret off the coast of Spain that would quietly move the entire vampire empire and all of its wealth to the isolated Southern oceans, there to start a new and secret life.

I was fascinated by Lillith’s story; it was the story of the power that was growing within me, power I had inherited directly from the infusion of her vampire blood. I now had the strength of ten men and I could see quite beyond the surface of things. My sense of smell was astounding, the human familiars aboard could do nothing without my knowledge and if they lied to me, I would smell that as well. My sense of touch, I think that must have been heightened a thousand fold, when Lillith touched me it was electric, when she kissed me I joined with her utterly. I wanted her more with each passing day yet there was always something in the way aboard ship.

As my vampire powers grew I could now move more quickly than the human eye could see, I explored the ship again undetected this time, by the crew, the laws of space and time had become irrelevant, I could lay on the ceiling and walk across the water, I could think myself to any location on the ship I wanted to be. Lillith said.

“You are learning to use your powers but you must not allow the familiar vampires to see you using them, we will loose our control over them if they realize our immortal glory, so you must never act in anyway differently when you are among them” Everything Lillith said to me made perfect sense, at first I did not understand why I already knew most of it, she would start to talk on a topic and I would remember what she was saying and could finish for her.





”You are, of me now Billy, you are Dracul, when you drank of my blood you gained all of my memories, you became literally, vampire of my blood. You must never allow anyone to feed off you, you are a vampire and he who drinks of you will also become vampire” Lillith had become serious as she spoke these words, “Remember Billy, you and your captain are the first to be turned in 100 years, you might say that the two of you are our experiment and we hope that you will not disappoint us”

I was realizing now that the captain and I had entered into a world where there was a new and even more secret code, the dark code of the Black Rose Vampires. I questioned Lillith interminably and among my queries I raised the question of day walking, her answer was simple.

“Much of what the human’s think they know about us is myth created by us to subdue them. They cannot affect us with their crucifixes or their holy water and we enter into their world taking what we want at any time we please, the myths protect us. Indeed we do prefer the night but we are equally strong during the daylight hours, they cannot see us in their linear view of the world and so we are able to feed on them, if we choose, even in broad daylight. We have hoarded silver and gold for centuries because the humans value these metals and so, by accumulation, we hold economic and political power in their world, Billy, I promise you, you have nothing to fear from the human’s you are superior to them in every way, they are your food. We have aloud them to hold on to their myths and legends about us because it gives them hope, but when it comes down to it the human remains forever at the mercy of the vampire”

I slept less and less as I grew stronger, one evening I appeared in the captain’s cabin to find him sitting in his favorite chair smoking his pipe. Lillith was nowhere to be seen, I looked at the captain, he was as magnificent as ever, I said.

“Please Sir, may I join you?” He looked at me and smiled his handsome smile; it was fun to fall back into our old rolls. I sat opposite him in my favorite old velvety chair and watched as he puffed away on his pipe, we didn’t need words now; we were slowly learning to communicate with our thoughts alone. All the new sensations and emotions passing between us were confusing; everything was so much more intense. I understood now why turned vampires of the past had fallen into such insanity and separation from their covens so easily. How could anyone go through this rebirth alone, I was grateful for my captain as together we struggled to understand our new life.



I offered the captain my wrist this time meaning to share something deeper with him, I felt his fangs sink into my cool flesh as he began to feed, after a moment he drew back and said, “I can see what you see Billy-boy” a tear welled in the corner of his eye as he realized fully my absolute regard for him. “I no idea you felt so deeply Billy” I said nothing, rather I allowed him to feel me, to experience the depths of my soul through this new medium of communication, my living blood.

He was overcome with emotion still at the revelation he’d found in my veins and he held fast, his teeth deep inside me. I wanted to feel his emotion, so moving into him, I bit into his naked chest and drank the warm blood streaming from his heart; I wasn’t expecting to be so utterly encompassed. His love poured into my mind clearing my confusion and lighting up all darkened corners and forgotten thoughts. As his body melted under my bite, his utterly undivided desire filled me with an uncommon ecstasy I had never known, “You love me that much?” I whispered into his mind. “Yes Billy, you are my forever boy” came his thought reply, “I can’t imagine life without you to love”

We had shared each others deepest secret and found that it was the same, my captain filled me and I was fulfilled by him, finally we had broken through our frail human beliefs and moral objections and found the truth within each other. I felt him wanting, desiring, I relaxed my hold on him saying his name aloud.

“Viktor” and again over and over in my thoughts. Accepting my invitation he took me into a tender embrace; it was the passion of a father for his only son but with an uncommon knowledge between them. We lay there, entwined in each other and gently allowed the intensity of our new familiarity to subside; I had finally shared all with my captain, the last bastion of my human morality was now just another broken memory.

I wondered to myself if Lillith had known that this would happen as a result of our turning. She had implied as much and in her teachings when she revealed to me that the high council had only relented from their policy because we were a pair. I wondered if we would ever find a boundary in this new life, the possibilities seemed limitless and with my captain’s head resting gently on my chest I fell into the now familiar dreamy state of consciousness that resembled sleep but was not.
