A Stranger in My Window

by J Benito, C; Renzi, Federico;

  His rang mobile phone, which was in a small bedside table glass next to him. He picked up and took the mobile to the ear.

  -Mr... Straush is alive, got reinforcements and they have finished with Gricarius.

  -Damn Gricarius! I served on tray all the vampire Empire, I provided him of a powerful army and has been overcome because of his damn arrogance. He has failed to measure the forces of Straush.

  -Well! Stay in the area until alert you.

  -Sir there is something else...

  -What happens?

  -A vampire with his same powers appeared just when the vampire army was losing the battle. If not for him, I'm sure that Gricarius would have win.

  - Thoroughly investigates this matter and keep me informed, but whatever happen does not go near him.

  — Yes, my bastion.

  The vampire rose from the chair, stepped up to the window and watched the sunrise. His eyes were red fire.

  -This is going to be interesting. - said smiling Arkanian bastion of the House of the damned.

  Tony was sitting in the office of the warehouse, still not had moved to the central office. Becoming the owner of the Empire of Logan, was a hard charging but it was even worse not know what had happened to his friend. He would still be living? Why would he need to suddenly use that suit? Thanks to a skylight could see the Moon, it was relaxing for him look at her. So beautiful and so far. He heard the doorbell, which surprised him. He connected the camera and was stunned to see the face of Logan. He ran to the door, without realizing that he did not get the keys. When he came he cursed himself, low and ran to his desk, took the keys and returned to the door. Just opened the door hugged Logan to his surprise he was not alone, accompanied him a beautiful woman's green eyes and silky long black hair.

  -I can't believe it, you're still alive!

  - Live is not the exact word. It will be best that you sit, I have to tell you some things.

  -What little things?

  -You sit down.

  Tony accompanied them to a small room where there was a pair of armchairs. He sat on the smaller reserving the greatest for them.

  -Well, tell me, you know that I have never had patience.

  -She is the reason why I decided to wear the costume and mount this secret Centre.

  - She? Not offend you. - Said Tony looking at Irynae -But what have so special she for use a battle-suit?

  -Do you believe in vampires?

  -Of Course and Santa Claus!

  Irynae could not suppress the laughter upon hearing that response, so typical of humans.

  -Do you mind, Irynae? -Logan said.

  Irynae put the bloodshot eyes and showed his fangs to Tony.

  -I have seen more credible assemblies informed Tony. But when he saw her jump over him and lift him in the air with one hand, his doubts had ceased.

  — Ok! I believe you. Do you mind to let me go?

  Irynae dropped him on the couch.

  -Thank you. -said Tony adjusting his clothing. Now I understand about the suit. But you see too good looking. At this point you should be dead or about to die.

  -The truth is that I have died and to my surprise, I have reborn.

  - The costume?

  Logan put his eyes on fire while he showed the fangs and claws.

  -I am afraid that not. I am a being that even my friend’s vampires not knew. I need your help until now.

  - Sure! How can I help you?

  -Although I am alive, with my new look I cannot take care of my business. Therefore, I need that you follow as we agreed in front of them. But I need money for expenses that arise me in my new life.

  -I will do what you ask me. -Tony responded without hesitating for a second. The only thing I care is that although you continue being a rare, now even more rare bug, you are my only friend.

  -By the way, she has a name?

  -Irynae.

  -Irynae, a beautiful name for a beautiful lady. Although somewhat beast for my taste. -said Tony smiling at him. Today I will open a personal account; I will take for you a card without limit.

  -Thanks Tony.

  - Is your money friend, it has always been this way and always I will see so. But I'd appreciate that You sometimes visit me.

  - Sure with that. - Said Logan getting up and giving him a big hug. Irynae was limited to smile, leave the room and disappear by the skylight ceiling. The two friends also left the room.

  -Certainly, she knows how to get out of the scene.

  - We will see us my friend. - Said Logan jumping up to the ceiling, looked at him for the last time and went out across the transom.

  -Fuck with Logan, if he was eccentric... Now already is impossible. -Tony said laughing, happy to see his friend alive. But the fact to know that vampires exist really frightened him. Already he would never go out with the same confidence.

  Logan played with Irynae jumping from roof to roof, causing her so that it will reach him. They could now be free, without the limitations of a human and a vampire. Irynae overtook him, gave him a flip of the hair, and kissed him. Now she felt complete, the immortality didn't sound so bad when you had someone to love.

  -Uff!

  -What happens? - asked Irynae.

  -Have a girlfriend is OK. But an immortal girlfriend... don't know if I can endure you so long.

  Irynae grabbed him for the hair and forced him to kneel down.

  -You will be with me as long as I wish it. No more, no less.

  - And how long will be?

  Irynae whispered in his ear.

  -Until I get bored of playing with you.

  Logan took her in his arms and kissed her.

  -When I start to teach you all the games that I know, you will not to leave me never more.

  Irynae smiled fun, while Logan disappeared with her into a golden gleam.

  Chapter 28

  Poland

  Cárpatos Mounth

  Miroslaw Palace

  Lodhar was sitting in the throne room of the old palace. His gray hair came to him up to the shoulders, while a mustache more typical of medieval times was imposed as a predominant feature, without forgetting his prominent nose. His blue eyes reflected an improper candor for a vampire. His body was not very slender, disturbing him some kilos and everything seemed to make it clear that years ago that his physical appearance had ceased to interest to him. His clothes worn and outdated, was stained by blood sliding by his Cup. He drank clumsily and with reluctance.

  The morning light entered through the window, which announced another boring day that would do nothing, except parking his heavy ass in that wooden seat. He not leaving to the room unless he need more blood. He desired the days of hunting, his adventures that led him to travel all over the world. Now everything was boredom and apathy. He felt a severe pain in the chest and the cup of glass fell to the ground breaking into a thousand pieces and strewing its contents by the white marble floor.

  Lodhar grabbed his chest, while outlined a smile, he perfectly knew what that meant. He ran out of the room and walked for the long corridors of the Palace shouting with joy. Soon appear a young blonde girl and two corpulent men that seem twins.

  -What the shit happens? - Shouted one of the twins.

  -Brothers... our bastion has been reborn. Said Lodhar.

  The blonde woman smiled mischievously, while the twins hug each one other. From one of the windows of the Hall appear a high, thin, serious-looking man.

  -Do the suitcases! If our bastion has been reborn he will be confused, he will need our help.

  Far from there in the forest near the castle of Straush, Saloá spied the forces vampires that were still there. He wore an outfit of Arabic style of black color, which reminded the tuareg. From the highest branches of a pine tree, he watched throughout the battle and the victory of the vampires against the darks. Straush seemed to organize his bastion, he had lost many men, which should soon start the conversion of his slaves to reinforce his ranks. But that being with eyes of fire intrigued m
ore than all. Arkanian his bastion used to have the eyes of fire but was a red fire, but those of that being had a really beautiful golden hue.

  The noise from one of the engines of an aircraft of the fleet vampire, took out him of his musings. The vampires began to retreat, the situation was already controlled and they were about to return to their bases.

  Saloá jumped to the ground and walked away for the thickness, he should hurry and follow Straush. He would know where to find that being.

  Straush ordered to Layonel that he warned the rest of the clan, they would soon start road to the mansion. Had to start his reconstruction, after all had been his home from hundreds of years ago. Karsacry was the first to follow Layonel, Julius stopped flirting with a vampire and followed the procession. Jud seemed somewhat distracted, indicating that she was hungry. Julius took her by the arm and forced her to follow them. Straush checked the State of his clan and all together rode to the Castle.

  The last of the planes closed the cellar door and took off. The formation was diluted to divide into sections that undertook the March in different directions.

  Each bastion ordered back to its base, the mission was accomplished, and at least for the moment the Vampire Empire remained intact.

  When the clan came to the mansion, he was desolate. Straush never seen that beautiful building in so bad state. The windows were broken; the fire had devoured the blackened facade and much of the upper floors.

  Luckily, one of the advantages of the vampires was his long life. A life that was to accumulate enough wealth to lift a country or overthrow it. Straush was not an exception, in the moment that he take a phone would have an architect and an entire army of bricklayers, plumbers, electricians and carpenters working on the reconstruction.

  - Will be like new! - Straush said.

  - We could put a cinema with sound Theater 7.1 and image Hd. lively commented Jud.

  Straush looked at her funny.

  - I love cooking channel; I'd like to hire television cable. - Said Karsacry.

  - Cooking channel? We are vampires! We do not eat. Julius replied.

  -Ya, but I like to see how they mix the ingredients and make cakes. I like the colors of the tarts. What is going on! - shouted annoying Karsacry.

  Layonel move his head to see how soft that was the hard of Karsacry.

  - Ok guys! You will have what you are asking. You have earned this.

  Jud jumped for joy and Karsacry smiled secretly, he thought to learn cook without think what they say. Then he would give it for a home of retirees who used to visit from time to time. Until Karsacry had his sensitive side.

  Straush watched his clan for a few moments; he came really close to losing them, all his gorgeous children.

  -Thanks Logan! - Thought Straush. He was enormously grateful to the think, now, nothing would prevent the love between Irynae and Logan would grow up to become a legend.

  Chapter 29

  To Irynae it was amazing not to be able to keep up with Logan; his human had overcome her and had become a demigod. See him jump from a roof to another, with the elegance and speed, made her feel not only proud but also safe.

  She remember when he lodged between Gricarius and her, preventing his death. He was on his deathbed and decided to sacrifice himself to spend his last moments of life with her, protecting her.

  See him now so alive, so happy, and jumping from one side to another while looking at her and smile, gave life to her.

  Suddenly Logan stopped, seemed tense and worried. Irynae jumped to the roof of wood where he was.

  -What happen with you? I see you worried?

  -I am hungry. - Logan said.

  -Do not worry, I will take you to one of the clinics where give us a few bags of blood.

  -You do not understand! I am hungry! I now ate a huge Burger, with two or three servings of potato chips.

  Irynae looked at him confused, the vampires do not eat human food, and they only drank blood.

  -What am I Irynae? I look like a vampire, but my powers are not like yours, and I still find repugnant the idea of drinking blood.

  - Quiet, we have all the time in the world to discover what you are.

  -Are you sure? Moreover, if I'm not immortal like you? And I have only a few months or a few years of life left me?

  Irynae hugged him and kissed him on the cheek.

  -Because we enjoy this while we are together rather than spend it worried about the future.

  -You're right, sorry, I feel my body in revolution. My mind is not my mind and I have memories of other lives, other times however I do not identify them as mine. I know what I can do and how to master my powers, but I still without know who I am. I have clear that my name is Logan, but little else.

  Logan was thoughtful for a few minutes.

  -Irynae, come back to my apartment, where we met. - Said Logan taking the hand of Irynae. Irynae nodded and together they made their way.

  They crossed the roofs of several skyscrapers and when they saw to the one that was closest to the Madison building, Logan took her in her arms and jumped up to the cornice of the salon.

  He opened the window breaking the glass and both came inside. Everything was such and as you left it, although clearly, his home maid had cleaned their destruction. Irynae spun him and kissed him passionately, had already waited too.

  He tore the clothing with fast and precise movements, which greatly excited to Logan.

  -Very well beautiful, now is my turn.

  Irynae only noticed a Flash when she looked down, she was naked. She dedicated a vicious smile as she walked to the bedroom.

  Logan watched how she moved away, was a sight to see, and considering that he was about to die, was allowed to revel in the views.

  Irynae fell on the bedroom door, indicating the index finger he approached. Logan did not doubt it, stepped toward her and took her to bed.

  It was fantastic to see her there lying down with those precious eyes full of desire, showing that newly discovered weakness. He lay on his side, passed hand through her silky leg; he loved until his whitish color. She turned and her breasts were in contact against the body of Logan had to refrain to do love at the same moment. His kisses increased of intensity, while Logan caressed the back of Irynae. Their mouths full of desire wanted to be explored by their tongues and little by little, the desire was already unstoppable. Logan fell on Irynae, which opened her legs, while attracted towards her. They joined together in the most intimate. To each time, that rubbing their bodies both lost a little control. Irynae eyes became Red, while those of Logan became fire. Already would not never love more like humans, now they could unleash his desire without fear of damage to the other. Irynae looked at him while he felt inside her, she had never felt anything like, their movements were now powerful and full of energy, but their bodies were so demanding. Near the climax of act, Logan kissed her with all the passion, until together felt an emotion that almost makes them cry.

  Logan had no idea that it would be them, but what was clear is that he wanted to be next to her, what happened happened. It was then when he had a vision. In the field of French Provence, he saw the two soldiers and Irynae when she was just a teenager. And something more...

  Logan departed from Irynae he kissed her and stroked her hair.

  -I just remember something...

  -What?

  -I've seen the two soldiers attacking you. Logan stood up and walked to the closet. He opened the door of right and groped in the closet until he smiled, had found what he wanted. He took a long box about eight centimeters in width and handed it to Irynae, which does not understand anything.

  He opened the box by removing the top cover and was speechless. Before she was the sword with hilt of gold that was carrying the vampire's with eyes of fire that saved her. She looked at Logan still surprised.

  -I was... who finished with those soldiers and is not the only thing that I remember. From then on, I started to spy on you in secret I protected you. I saw you grow an
d become a beautiful lady. I remember your last birthday, all happily celebrated that day, the sound of the piano, the champagne glasses, and people dancing. Your smile, that day I fell for you.

  - And why not you told me? -Irynae protested.

  -You were human; I could not condemn you to eternal life.

  - But could you introduce yourself as a human, we were able to meet us I wanted to meet you.

  - I am Sorry, but I was afraid to hurt you. When my love could more than my reason, I returned. I saw the mansion in ruins, I search you with despair, but nobody could give me an explanation, all claimed that both you and your family died in the fire. It was such pain he felt, guilt for not having been there to save you that neither the years nor centuries mitigated my pain, until finally I quit my immortality and reborn as a human. Without powers nor memories. Now I understand why inside of me everything was wrong and had those wishes of dying.

  -Straush burned the House and launched the rumor that we had died the day that we finally became vampires. We knew that he was a vampire from the first moment, but he insisted that lived a human life until a more appropriate age for immortality.

  -You do not know what it means for me having these memories and see you live next to me.

  Irynae hugged him, while she kissed him sweetly.

  -The important thing is that we are now together and nobody can now separate us.

  -Irynae I love you and will always love you.

  Logan kissed her with all his love and Irynae was full of passion. His life was now complete, and for the first time in centuries both could be happy, perhaps forever.
