For meggy… because she gave me the title
Benji awoke many hours later, light headed, almost nauseous, and weak. He was laying back on what seemed to be an ordinary bed in an ordinary apartment that he had been in so many times before; Tony’s.
He sat up on the bed as he heard foot steps slowly making their way down the hall. But almost as soon as he got himself into an upright poison he fell back head hitting the pillow once again as his light head, and nausea got the best of him. He could hear people talking; he could hear them right outside side of the room, “Wait for me out here. I want to talk to him alone.”
“Shouldn’t we come in what if something happens” Another voice answered.
Again the first voice rang out-angry, “are you questioning me?” he called and at this point it became obvious to Benji that it was Tony speaking.
“No never” the second voice answered his voice dripping with submission.
“Good boy” Tony purred and Benji could almost hear the Lovato smile come across his face, “don’t worry my pet, he’s no match for me.”
By this point Benji was shaking. He kept telling himself it was only Tony who was on the other side of the door but the only thing his mind was registering was the popping sound made when he felt fangs sinking into his flesh- it wasn’t the Tony he knew as far as, he was concerned he was a monster. He could see the doorknob turning, slowly creaking open and Tony swept in as if walking on air. Turning he nodded at the door the people outside immediately closing it. As he moved closer to the bed, Benji moved farther onto it determined to stay as far away from the man that he used to call a friend. He was still wearing the cloak he had on before, expect this time the hood was down and Benji could clearly see the pair of piercing blue eyes and he could almost feel them scanning his body. He took a deep breath and tried his hardest to control the fear that possessed him as he whispered in a shaky voice “What are you?”
”What ever do you mean?” Tony smirked at his own words.
Benji bit his lip and continued, “You’re not human; I know it, so what are you…”
”Vampire Benji, vampire. Before you ask, no, light wont kill us, we’re just over sensitive to it preferring the dark. We don’t run from garlic or holy water, just forget all the little myths you’ve ever heard about us.”
“So you just live forever, nothing can get you…” Benji’s voice raised as his situation was finally setting in.
“No just like everything else we can be destroyed. Slayers, they hurt us track us down, the hunter becomes the hunted.” Tony calmly answers.
”why am I here, why didn’t you just kill me!” Benji asked voice almost whining and it was obvious he would have rather been anywhere else in the world right now.
“Benji there are so many better things I can think to do then kill you.” Tony laughed, “Besides I need you.”
Benji swallowed and looked up into the demonic eyes of what used to be his best friend. “What do you want? What are you going to do to me?”
“Our kind has been around for many years and the rivalry between slayers and Vampires only grew. Their mission is to destroy us, ours is only to live.” Tony began only to get cut off...
”But for you to live others must die…”
“We only kill what we must kill; you’re not dead now are you. Back to what I was saying, many years ago a slayer and a vampire fell in love, it was forbidden, let alone unnatural. They saw each other in secret behind people’s backs, stealing kisses in dark alleys and longing glances before battles. After a while they were found out and forbidden to met again or death to them both. After hearing their fate they ran away together. Moved to the mortal world, got married, got a house tried to live as “humans” would. He dropped off our radar not killing people anymore we had no way to track him, he lived off the blood of animals, she stopped working at her craft and was not seen by the slayers again. We forgot about them mostly till almost 25 years ago we were signaled by the birth of our kind, she had; had twins. Twin boys they had the best skills of each side and each side would do anything to have them. We tried and we tried but it was useless, they were protected by to much magic, both dark and light. He eventually was killed by slayers looking for the children and she fled taking her boys with her to a simple neighborhood in America, a place were vampires and slayers were unheard of, hoping to start a new life. We just followed starting a new clan, after much trying and the loss of many of us we were going to give up. Till we figured it out a plan. We began to change people around them secretly surrounding them in our kind. It put us in the stop light but that was ok I mean who would suspect Tony Lovato headed one of the biggest clans on the east coast.” A smile crossed Tony’s face, “Benji if you haven’t realized by now you’re special, you’re one of the twins everyone’s after, you’re like gold to us. We moved carefully and strategically, moves like changing Billy almost a year ago. You ever wonder why you couldn’t keep a drummer? That was us, Aaron was killed after he caught Billy feeding and Dusty was one of us but ran after hearing our plans and was caught somewhere in England by another clan. I don’t even want to know what happened to him. We sat and waited for the perfect moment, Joel being your mother’s son was going to be the hardest so we kept our eye on you. You were the rebellious one, you needed to touch the stove to see if it was hot, so to speak you don’t believe what is said you believe what you see. You were going to be the perfect vampire, or maybe it’s you are going to be the perfect vampire.”
”If I am going to be this perfect one what about Joel?” Benji asked eyes still wide from what Tony was previously saying.
“Without intervention he will grow into one of them, that’s why we need your help.”
”So you want me to kill him, you want me to kill my brother!” his voice raised and got more panicked as he jumped from his place on the bed starring threateningly into the vampires eyes.
”sit down Benjamin,” Tony commanded.
”I don’t have to listen to you, you monster,” Benji snapped back.
“You don’t know how wrong you are.” Tony growled, he raised his hand as if to strike the man in front of him but instead he just slowly curled his fingers little by little bringing them closer together. As his fingers curled Benji fell to the ground holding his head and whimpering, he felt as if Tony’s fingers touched his head would explode. he sat on the floor screaming inside his head mumbling “please stop” and “I can’t take it”. Right before his fingers would have met Tony let his hand fall open again and Benji slowly looked up to meet his eyes. “You’re one of us Benji, one of my clan, my blood flows through your veins you can never get away. You can never say no. As long as you’re breathing my voice will be the one calling to you in the back of your head. You will do as your told Benji; you’re our only chance at changing Joel. If you don’t he will die, if you don’t we will kill him. Think about it….helping us saves him.”
With that he walked out leaving Benji kneeling on the floor tears streaming down his face and shaking and he knew he had broken the golden one.
