The Spawn of Hate

by Angel Flowers

  The guy that was chained up took the tape off his mouth and knelt at Josef’s side. Josef then grabbed him by his hair and was practically forcing him to use his mouth on him. Josef sighed while this was going on and then faced me and tried to begin a conversation.

  “You look as if you have seen a ghost” Josef grinned. I could see he was missing two fingers.

  “Don’t worry about my friend here, he is welcome to leave my room at any time.” Josef spoke looking down at the man who I could see was more of a boy. “In fact if he keeps doing a job as terrible as the one he is doing currently I may recommend for his removal myself.” When Josef finished speaking I could see the guy step up his effort considerably. It made me want to hurl.

  “Why would he like being in here with you? I don’t think he is gay and I seriously doubt he likes doing that. Can you make him stop?”

  “It is not my choice Cory, can I call you Cory? Anyway he likes doing it, ask him if he wants to stop?”

  “Hey buddy”, I said tapping him on the shoulder. “Do you want to stop?”

  He shook his head no and started going faster like his life depended on it or something. I could see Josef tense up then relax considerably.

  “That’s what I’m talking about, human! Make sure you swallow every last drop of that, never know when you will need your vitamins. No go draw my bath so you can bathe me.”

  The guy got up and walked to where I guess Josef’s bathroom was.

  “Don’t feel sorry for him human. Like I said he wants to be here.”

  “Why would he want to be here Josef?”

  “Because he does not want to leave this room ever. I have tried to make him go but he is as much a prisoner as you and I.”

  “I don’t understand” I asked puzzled.

  “I am sure you remember the attack on our compound a few months back. That gentlemen came in here and cut the heads off of two juveniles. He then killed the horrid young lady sent to protect me and waited to kill our horrible queen. The queen unfortunately won their battle and gave him to me to cheer me up. After our first couple of trysts he lost his wizard power and has been here ever since. I do not have to force him to have sex with me anymore because he realizes his death awaits outside this room. Every female vampire here in their horrible frenzy to conceive see him as someone who made that prospect harder to achieve. They will rip his throat out or slowly torture him until he dies. He knows his existence depends on me. If I say I do not want him anymore, out of this room he goes.”

  “Does the principal know he is in here?”

  “I doubt it or he would have taken him to the werewolves first, then brought him over here to for that horrible girl to extract revenge.”

  “You don’t seem big on your own kind.” I said matter of factly.

  “My kind? Those trollops? I am a prisoner here just like you. When I refused to used as breeding stock for them whores they took off my two fingers!” He said as he held up his hand. “Which brings me to the reason as why they need you? You certainly do not look like a vampire with your pigment as I am guessing you are nowhere as sensitive to the light or the sun as we are. You certainly do not have my incisors, which leads me to believe you can’t give the gift of the bite.”

  “What is the gift of the bite?”

  “The bite is how all female vampires are made. Why it certainly kills a lot of people, females are only made from the bite, and they cannot be too long into puberty. That is why the Vampire women you see around you all look like teenagers when some of them are well over a hundred.”

  “They are that old? They don’t look a hundred.”

  “And they won’t ever look their age. Unfortunately for them their lives are finite. Whereas I can live forever barring injury, they are only around for 150 or so years, which the exception of a daughter of Drac who lives twice that. There is only one way for them to increase their lives. Can you guess what that is Cory?”

  It suddenly made sense to me now. Sure they wanted to preserve their race but they want to live forever. That is why they are so concerned with having male vampires around. More males means more chances for them to be pregnant.

  “They do it by reproduction.” I answered already sure of the answer.

  “You are correct. Male Vampires as you may have deduced are only born. More males means more time for them to enslave us. Sure we had our run dominating the females, but in their efforts to demonize us they have done no different when handed power. Speaking of demons, Cory do you know who your father is?”

  “What type of question is that?”

  “It is a simple one to answer, because I am sure I do.”

  “You know my mom and dad?”

  “Not the human who raised you, I am talking about your real father.”

  “You know the person who attacked my mother?”

  “Unfortunately yes, I did not recognize him in you since it has been so long since I saw him. I guess he did succeed.”

  “Who succeeded? What are you talking about?”

  “Your father I met only once about 100 years after Drac turned me. He was on the run from a mob and claimed to be some type of demon. We thought he was just delusional but he did have dark red skin. He told us his tale about not being able to use his powers in our realm and misjudged how strong humans were. We asked him how Drac was able to keep his powers here and Drac told him he hadn’t been able to, only immortality. Unlike the rest of us male vampires Drac can heal pretty quick from any injury. He is the vampire your fairytales are made of. The rest of us males are only blessed with extremely long age. So long in fact, that when I first came to this country, most of it was owned by the French. Back to my story though, your father said he was going to reproduce here but the first couple of females did not survive the impregnation experience. As he was talking he suddenly started to burn and caught flames until he just vanished. The only explanation I got from Drac is that those from his world are not suited for this environment and many of them die immediately reaching this place or they must return to their world immediately, which their tolerance for our planet being less and less with each visit. I had forgotten about the encounter until now.”

  That was a lot to take in at once. That would explain the readings the professors machine gave off, why I am much darker than anyone I have ever seen and why I can take peoples abilities away.

  “Josef who else knows about this?”

  “Worry not young one, your secret is certainly safe with me as I would do nothing to please my captors. I look on you with sorrow now though.”

  “Because of my father?”

  “Because of what you are going to go through. If you feel sorry for our friend in the bathroom, you will be just like him, just like me. Do you know the reason you do not see many male and female vampires?”

  “No” I answered.

  “Once our numbers were many. You must realize that we can only pass along our gift by either the bite or sexual means twice a year, during solstice. Solstice is the only time my body makes venom, the only time I can produce my seed. Reproducing means agony, even then with agreeable females the feeling leaves a sick taste in your mouth, and upset stomach if you will if you give the gift of the bite. If you reproduce by other means, imagine having the worse you possible, complete with muscle spasms. Now imagine the feeling you get when you have real bad headache, tooth ache or broken bone. That’s on top of the flu. Now for the coup de grace, imagine a never ending seizure on top of all of that. That is just what it is like normally. Sleeping with a female that does not have your venom inside of her multiplies that feeling tenfold. I am strapped to that table and experience this twice a year, all day long. My body is pumped full of drugs just to ensure I am able to perform. I am left comatose for days afterward after it is over. To make up for it in their own sick way, I get a day away from this place. Although I am never really free since they are all around me and must plan my fun, right down to picking the prostitute. Welcome to your own private hell with o
nly me and maybe that poor creature in the bathroom as your real company.”

  I thought about what Josef said as I walked back to my room. At least I knew I wasn’t a wizard. What really bothered me is what was going to happen if I could still bear their touch after two weeks, would I be kept here like Josef. I walked back to my room and shut the door. It was still morning but at least I was alone with no one in the room. It felt kind of weird knowing cameras were most likely watching my every move. You know how difficult it is to go through life as a teen and I can’t even masturbate in peace for fear of what that might get me. I turned on the TV. And like all of the TV’s in this place, only Armed Forces Network played. No local news or commercials. It might as well not be TV at all. The rest of my day went by uneventfully; they fed me and made me go to sleep early that night. Here they claim I am pampered and I cannot even stay up pass nine.

  CHAPTER 25

  Doce Cinco

  I woke up around 3am the next morning, or should I say I was shaken awake 3 am the next morning. I woke up starry eyed staring directly into the face of the vampire I now knew as Anastasia. I guess I was to slow getting up since she scooped me up in her arms brought me over to tub and gently lowered me in.

  “Wait a minute, can I at least get undressed?” I said suddenly wide awake. “And can you turn around while I’m doing it?”

  “No and no.” She said smiling at me. “When I was human I remember boys being nowhere near as shy as you. I appreciate the male body better than most, and it is exciting to actually be able to view and touch one without him going into convulsions and defecating on himself. No hurry and get undressed before I get you undressed.”

  I sighed and just turned around and took off my now wet sweat pants. I settled into the water and started sponging myself when Anastasia took the sponge from me.

  “Just sit back and relax, I can do that for you.”

  “I don’t want you to do it for me, I can do it myself.”

  “Your body when I woke you up seemed like you want me to do it for you and it doesn’t seem like anything has changed.”

  Damn those mornings as a teen. “My body is retarded, now can you hand me my sponge back.”

  “I think you misunderstand me Cory.” She said now looking into my eyes with an icy glare. “I am in charge, not you. Your job is to be pampered and well taken care because of the tasks you are to perform. Your energy cannot be wasted performing menial tasks. Your job is not to be stressed. The only way I know to take the stress out of you is to beat it out of you, something I am fairly good at.”

  I just gulped as she continued washing me.

  “That’s better Cory. See we can be a good team, since I am guessing you are going to see a lot of Annova, Vikonika and myself since her majesty only wants the best watching you and Josef. So are you happy to be going back to school to see that filthy mongrel and that horrid creation?”

  “Why do you hate them so much? They have never done anything to you.”

  “Never done anything to us? Why do you think our numbers are so low as to resort to basically raping people? Don’t answer that because I will tell you why. Once we lived in harmony with the Lycans. We had a mutual agreement, they could hunt where ever and whenever outside our villages and we wouldn’t turn them in. In return for keeping their secret and the blood thirsty mob off of our back they basically were our servants and our right hand. We didn’t much fancy fighting and they lived for it. One day or so I hear, this happened way before I was born a lycan bit a female that was trying to steal a chicken. That female turned out to be a werewolf who transformed and slaughtered the Lycan. Like anyone facing an attack we sent our Lycans after the thing. That female killed a dozen lycans before she was finally killed herself. It turns out she was some type of pack leader or something and the next day we were overrun with the things. They have had it out for us ever since. We instantly saw through the so called peace they called in Waco. When all those deaths were counted, only long time members who were tired of fighting got killed. The new bitches they have are all blood thirsty and ready to kill. We have it on good authority it was them who told about our meetings in Waco.”

  She seemed to be getting angry as she was talking as she now was scrubbing the skin off of me. If I didn’t know better it looked like she was going to cry. I thought back and I don’t think I have ever seen one cry before. Sure I have seen them outraged and even sad, I just never saw one cry. I don’t know what got into me, but I reached over and gave her a hug. She held me tight for a bit and when she let go I threw some foam from the bathtub on her shirt.

  “I have already taken a bath, what did you do that for?” She asked me wiping her shirt. I picked up another big handful of soap foam and launched it at her head. The look on her face when looked at me was enough to make Ben Stein crack a smile. I laughed out loud. Before I knew it she was in the bathtub with me splashing around trying to make me eat the soap. For a moment I forgot about my situation until Irina came in.

  “It’s nice to see you getting along instead of brooding Cory. Brandon will be here shortly to do your hair.”

  Anastasia bolted out of the tub towards the door I shared with Josef. I could see her get into a stance like she was ready to tear up anyone who came through the door.

  “Who is Brandon?” I say looking at Irina.

  “Brandon is Josef’s friend I am sure you have met.” Irina spoke as she walked towards Anastasia. “I am sure you heard about his history before his coming to live here. Anastasia here gave birth to Viktor and Ivan, the vampire on record to have twins. Brandon killed them both and set a trap for me. His torment at Josef’s twisted and sick mind is worse than we can ever do to him since it is likely we will him him quickly even if not meaning to. Tasia will kill Brandon on site so he stays with Josef. I don’t have to deal with Josef’s sour mood when I visit and an enemy gets his just desserts. “

  Irina then whispered something in Anastasia’s ear and put her arm around her they walked out of the room together. I then heard a soft knock on the door leading to Josef’s bedroom. I opened the door and let Brandon in. He had done terrible things but for some reason I could not help but feel sorry for the guy. I closed the door behind him, figuring he could at least relax with me.

  He got the hair clippers ready and I sat down in my chair. I halfway thought about telling him I am not getting a haircut but two things stopped me. 1) They would make me anyway. 2) Brandon might be hurt. My Mom always taught me there is only one judge and he already died for our sins. He started cutting my hair when I decided to have a conversation with him.

  “So why did you do it?” I asked still staring forward as he cut my hair.

  “Do what?”

  “Why did you kill her kids? Why did you attack this place?”

  “I was stupid looking to be somebody. I’m somebody alright, I’m somebody’s bitch. I wish I could change places with you.”

  “With me?” I said confused. “Why in the hell would you want to be in my shoes? I have been hit painfully since I have been here, my parents have been threatened and I am supposed to be violated in a few days, something they rub in my face at every turn. Why in the hell would you want to be me?”

  “Because I wouldn’t be in there with him. I am the only person he has control over. Everything they do to him, he does to me. Every single day I am raped and I have to pretend to enjoy it. Josef beats me whenever he is angry until he is tired. I would love for my existence to be pampered, instead I do all the pampering with constant threats to my well being. I have to please Josef and you get to have sex with women all day.”

  “They are not women.” I state with probably more hatred then I mean to. “I do not want to be here. If my death would end it, I would kill as many as possible until I die. I was told my parents would be killed and my limbs amputated and I would still be here. More than my life depends on my decision.”

  Brandon cut the rest of my hair in silence. Suddenly a speaker went off in my room, I could
recognize Vikonika’s voice.

  “Cory please tell that human to get back to his cage. I am coming in there and I would hate to disobey our Queen by rendering him limb from limb. He has until the count of three before this door opens.”

  Brandon bolted to the door. Unfortunately the door was locked. He started banging on it as my front door started opening. Josef answered just as Vikonika stepped through the threshold. Brandon bolted in the room and slammed the door behind him. I felt sorry for him, but he did bring it upon himself. I thought if I really had to stay here I would do something he had been too scared to do, end his suffering. I hadn’t yet killed anyone, but I wouldn’t want an existence like his.

  “Cory it is time to brush your teeth and finish getting you dressed.”

  “If I said I could handle it myself, would you even consider it?”

  “Nope, not at all.” Vikonika said as she grabbed my toothbrush and sat me down. She started brushing my teeth while speaking to me.

  “Cory we need to inspect you at least once a day to see to your wellbeing. As I am sure everybody has told you before your job is to relax and get your mind off of things. I am making you an excellent breakfast when you return from gym. I normally only have Josef to cook for, and he purposely doesn’t eat any of my food and only eats ramen. He gets away with it most of time but once a month he gets a physical to make sure he isn’t trying to slowly kill himself. I would not care if that pet of his only eats his own excretement . Females as you know don’t eat at all so that leaves you. I was quite a cook back when I was human, at least I like to think so.”

  After she finished with my grooming she got me dressed. I was just happy to finally have underwear again, something she told me not to get used to. We then went to the front of the building where Irina was waiting for me.

  “You had better act like you are having the time of your life without a care in the world.” Irina said looking me dead in the face.

  “Why should I?” I replied not letting her stare me down.
