Following is an excerpt I wrote for a story that I am currently writing. I know that it isn't too grand but I needed to get it out of my head and onto something.
Needless to say that it is a vampire story and it isn't completely put together. *shrugs* But feel blessed as I never allow anyone to see what I write that's original. ^_^
Blood Sacrifice (an excerpt)
by Wicked Child
Pain. Pain is what you get for being loyal.
Loyalty. Loyalty is who are despite the pain.
Sorrow. Sorrow is what you feel because of the pain and your loyalty.
Sorrow because you know what the future holds.
You?ve seen what the pain and loyalty has brought your friends, your comrades, your enemies.
Sorrow for them all.
Sorrow for those inflicting the pain and enforcing loyalty.
Sorrow for your sorrow for him.
Regret? You don?t know it.
?He needs blood. My God, how can this happen? If we don?t get him more blood he?ll die! I don?t understand. How can an immortal like him die??
She watched as the former nun slowly lost her grip on reality. It was then that she too noticed that she began to watch the scene as though she were not a part of her own body. Her blue eyes moved from the hysterical nun to the subject of the nun?s distress; the source of her own distress.
He was pale, even for a vampire. He wasn?t even conscious, but the girl was sure that wherever he was he was getting a jolly good laugh at their predicament. He was always perverse like that. Other people?s pain and suffering were a source of entertainment for him. A cruel and vicious being, the vampire, and he was the worst of them all, or so it seemed. Fear permeated the room whenever he entered, though it be filled with other immortals, some older than he.
And now he was slowly dying his second death. A second death unless he was give fresh blood. Another vampire?s blood wouldn?t do it, hence the former nun?s frustration. She couldn?t save him. Even his sire seemed stressed over the situation. The impervious sire, who once boasted that his child was invincible. Nothing would or could kill this child, his child. But now he laid there, before the three of them, blood seeping from his numerous wounds forming a scarlet pool around his prone body.
Gabriel.
A vicious vampire whose thirst knew no bounds. Whose cruelty had seemingly been unmatched.
Gabriel.
Her employer. Her friend. Her mentor. Her master.
She was human, a live-born. A live-born he sacrificed himself for. The most feared vampire had sacrificed himself for her.
Her eyes returned to the hysterical nun her master?s sire. Both bearing tears of crimson, streaming down their porcelain faces.
Blood.
Gabriel needed blood. Immortal blood could not be used. Pure blood was what he needed. Strange that they had a live-born in their midst but did not tear open her throat and shove it into his mouth. No, they would not touch her. It was forbidden for anyone to touch her.
?Come Mary Helen," the sire said. "If we act quickly we will find suitable live-borns.? He helped the sobbing vampire to her feet. To the girl he said, ?Keep watch. The man who did this has yet to be captured.? Needless comments.
She took Gabriel?s hand, sickened by the fact that she could feel his blood draining.
Too late. They were too late. By the time the others returned with suitable sustenance, Gabriel would be dead. That could not happen. She would not let that happen. He sacrificed himself for her; it was her turn.
No one could touch her. No one but Gabriel and touch her he had. She was not about to let him die. He was too important to die, damn his faults. He would not die.
She reached for her pack, it went with her everywhere. She pulled out a dagger, a present from her master, and kissed his lips. She smoothed back his raven hair and spoke softly, staring into his unseeing eyes. They had once been the color of fresh blood, but now held no color. It was too much.
?I have sacrificed so much for you. I have lost much that was important to me as you once warned, whether it be my will or yours. In turn, you have sacrificed. I have never betrayed you and I do not consider this an act of betrayal so do not hold me accountable for loving my master. May my blood save you from your second death, and may your third life be peaceful.?
The other two vampires stopped in mid-step, turning to observe what was about to take place. Mary Helen was still, shock paralyzing her immortal frame. Gabriel?s sire locked eyes with the girl, whose face hovered just above his child?s. Horror contorted the ancient man?s face, a guttural scream emitting from cold lips.
To the girl it sounded akin to, ?No,? but she wasn?t sure. The last thing she knew was the dagger biting into her flesh.
The sire watched as the girl, Gabriel?s most prized possession, sliced open her own throat before collapsing on her master?s body, her throat covering the vampire?s mouth.
Okay I know that Gabriel's sire currently is nameless but I'm having difficulty finding a name that fits and that I'm willing to part with. But there ya go. A bit of original fiction from me in it's original form. Who knows how it'll turn up after I fiddle with it.
That was wonderful. I have to get up and ready now, but that was beautiful. Write more; I expect to hear from you. And here I thought vampires scared me...
Also, if you changed you color because I hogged yours, I'm sorry, and I'll not do that if it irks you.
And, I know I'm not going to be the best comforter right now, but if you want to talk, I'm all ears and all hugs. (literally)
I love you, sis!

Oh! *glomp*
Stay sane.
Bob is my avatar. wicked made it for me. She is basically to-the-limit. Except she's bereft. And that is so sad.
Wow, thanks you three! Ah! 3!! Such a good number. *snuggles Trowa*
Okay but back to the subject at hand. As I said in the original post this was just an excerpt from what I hope will be a semi-long to down right long running novel series. I think I finally decided on it's title: Blood Sacrafice. O_o Never had that before. It was just known as "that vampire story rattlling around my head that gets revised a million times."
But I think I'm finally focusing on what I want and how I want it. As I said, this excerpt may be changed around as it is toward the end of the "series." So much more has to happen before and after this scene. o_O O_o I hope my vamp's don't come after me though.
Sis, trust me, when I'm done with this (not if but when--must stay positive) I'll make you wish you didn't ever read this in the first place. ~_^ But you honestly thought it was beautiful? Do tell! Thank you so much. I love you too and violet is all yours. I'm happy with my red right now. Damn, I sure am fickle! But not about the glomps. Still addicted to those. Oh when will I ever abstain from my glomp whoring ways?!!?
Starry-chan!!! Thanks a bunch for reading!! Oooh! I have a stalker now!! Sweet deal! But if you dare try to hurt me, I'll just sick my Trowa on your Quatre (pre-ZERO system of course). But thank you for thinking it's amazing. I'm just jazzed that you're my stalker. Rockin!
Eienvine! Dude! I thought I was one of the few who still use that word! My sister makes fun of me for it. *glares at MBF* I'm happy you like this considering it isn't your thing. This piece is just the tip of the crazy iceberg though. At least I hope so.
As I said, this is the first time I've let anyone read an original piece of work. I'm happy you have enjoyed this piece and hope you enjoy what I have to offer in the future. Here's to hoping!
