My Ex-Boyfriend The King Of The Vampyres
Prologue
"Let's just be friends" I said to Aldrich as we sat in his restaurant just having received the crimson wine I half-expected a bloodbath.
For the last year and a half I have been dating Aldrich Mestophe a funny, handsome, toned, smart, and all around great guy. We first met at a club I remember I was being picked up by this smooth talker. W were about to leave but then my attention seemed to be pulled like my head was being jerked in the other direction. That is when I saw Aldrich dressed in a red dress shirt three of the top buttons unbuttoned to show off his toned abs. Those skin tight black jeans were fantastically revealing, ironic for pants I know but it left nothing to my keen imagination.
I seemed pulled to his direction, his narrow inviting yellow eyes seemed to invite me over, however the guy I was going to leave with became an anchor.
"Hey man, I thought you were leaving with me" said my evening acquaintance.
I tried to be leave but he made it clear I was going to be dragged out, I was just a stick figure of a man so I couldn't really pull free, twink thy name is Evan Parks. This guy had twice the muscle on me and I was getting pretty scared, then as he was dragging me out I saw a firm pale fist land on that guy's shoulder.
At first I was a little confused seeing Aldrich stand there having seemingly came out of nowhere I looked back to where he stood and saw the spot that was graced by his presence was empty.
"Look friend" Aldrich said with a white friendly smile to my forceful would be 'one night lover', "I can see you were wanting to take this..." his yellow eyes gave me the once over "exquisite sight for the eyes but I'm afraid I cannot allow you to force him to leave with you".
Aldrich had a usually persuasive way of talking to him as the annoyance in his once frustrated eyes seemed to become empty and passionless.
"If you want some entertainment why not go into the back room right over there" Aldrich said lifting his hand and pointing to the door leading to the back, "I am sure you'll find someone who would love having you. Tell them Aldrich sent you, their practically starving for someone like you".
The man left who I must woefully say to his obvious demise having learned latter that he was fed upon and then his carcass was placed in a way that looked like an accident. This was one reason I broke up with Aldrich which was alone a big reason for me as I cannot be with someone who treats life as if it was nothing. Sure he was a jerk but he was someones baby and I dearly grief for their loss and his, but admit-ably at the time I figured he was a smooth talking hunk.
I mean wow the way he turned to me and invited me to dance his faint touches on my body were like water in a pool cool but warmed by my body heat. So seductive and exotic he seemed his words had a charming accent of such unknown origins but the way he pronounced his words were so familiar it made me almost not notice. Then after taking me to the booth he ordered for us a lovely wine from his private stock, that was when I learned he owned the club and almost all the other hot spots in town.
Of course it impressed me but it wasn't the deal maker it was his words, his knowledge, and the way he made me feel special. I blushed more than once and he seemed to smile like one would while sipping tea while relaxing, he'd lick my cheeks and I'd giggle like a girl. After that we went to his place on his assistance there he kissed me, undressed me, and made sweet taboo with me, I felt so alive.
Upon awakening the next morning we spent the day and night together for every waking second for that wonderful year. However soon after our one year together we celebrated our anniversary, then he told me his most well kept secrets. First he told me he loved me and wanted to marry me, I cried so much hearing that, he almost didn't tell me the second thing which brought me crashing down from heaven.
My boyfriend and would be fiance Aldrich Mestophe was a vampyre, a form of vampire that is stronger and immortal compared to the other lesser kind known and spelled vampire. He was in fact the king of them all and treated like a God since the creation of good and evil. That was alright with me but he told me how he kills people not for necessity which it turns out isn't, but for fun and cause he prefers the taste of fresh human blood and the act itself.
I couldn't believe it at first, till he showed me a place in one of his homes where people were being hypnotized and sucked dry, I got so sick. I could stop crying I left his house, but no matter where I went Aldrich followed me and even forced himself into my home to see me, he told me I belonged to him and nothing would change it. At first I tried to deal with it but then I started to see our life in a different eyes, people that interrupted our smooth life he had killed by sending them to their deaths, he would even do it if they looked at me for too long. He had people that followed him he said they were his body guards but I later figured out they were there to deal with annoyances for him.
After a few days I told him either it was the killing or me, he was obviously dumb struck and in shock by my stand, I was so happy that he promised me he wouldn't do it anymore. We spent five months enjoying ourselves talking about marriage and me becoming a vampyre myself. Then I found out it was a bald face lie, I caught him sucking a rude waiter at our restaurant the night before in his study I got him by surprise. I left his home that night but he followed me and forced me back to his home. He was so loving but so controlling which was another reason, he didn't give me space or respect my wants to be by myself and with friends who some he had killed.
The next weeks were Hell, he forced me to stay in his house all that time not allowing me to leave his side except for using the washroom which was guarded. Finally I made up my mind that the dinner at the restaurant which I overheard was when he will give me the ring that I was going to break it off.
So yeah, there I sat after saying 'lets be friends' line after wine was served. Aldrich pretended not to hear but I knew better.
"Evan what do you wish to eat"? Aldrich said as he held up the menu pretending to look thoughtfully at the choices.
"NO"! I yelled out as I slammed the table, "I AM SICK OF THIS! I am sick of the control, I am sick of the lies, the killing, and I AM SICK OF YOU! It is over don't follow me, don't call me, and don't bother proposing cause I would never love a monster like you"!
I stood up and saw the look on his face made me want to cry, which I did as soon as I ran out of there, man I was in bad shape. I took a cab home and couldn't help whimpering all the drive over I paid the driver who pretended not to notice being a little embarrassed having a feminine guy in his back cab crying his blue eyes out.
When my place was coming up I was surprised Aldrich didn't stop me but I guess he was either foaming from the mouth in anger from my words or planning to grab me as soon as the cab stops. When I paid the cabby as it drove off I saw Aldrich standing in his long coat on a chilly fall night outside my apartment building in the full moonlight in the shades of yellow of the streets light. His eyes glowed softly like a cat in a dimly lit hallway, I was kind of wishing he'd be there for me but I knew it wasn't going to change. Walking to my door I hoped to get by him but he grabbed my arm and pulled me to him.
My head was under his chin, he was two feet above me, I was a pretty short five foot one and he was pretty tall but he always felt like there wasn't that much between him and me, I was still sort of crying but his arms soothed me.
"Am I a monster Evan"? Aldrich asked me as he stroked my brunette hair, one of his long black tendrils of hair touched my cheek and I was happy but I knew it couldn't last.
"You could quit killing..." I said and he jumped in hurriedly "I will! I promise his yellows eyes staring into my eyes. I promise I won't kill anymore just please... don't leave me" tears were in his eyes.
I was unsure he made that promise before but those tears were so sincere looking, I wasn't sure my head was half-empty and half buzzing like hornets have been riled in my head.
Minutes passed as I sought for the words and then I said something, I didn't know what it was but he backed off and seemed to melt into the darkness and was gone. I went into the apartment building and when I made it to the third floor and let myself in I dropped to the floor as the door closed shut.
'Did I say that'? I thought as I was on my apartment floor.
"...It is over Aldrich, if you love me let me go, cause I can't love you", my memory only got some of it but the idea was there I denied him coldly.
It would be years till I grew to be devoid of the ability to care.
After two weeks I grew decided to go out cruise the clubs, and I made sure to go to one that wasn't owned by Aldrich. I sat at the bar and as soon as I sat on the stool a flash of movement had Aldrich beside me dressed the way he did the night we met.
"My my finally out from your cocoon little butterfly, how about flying my way" he told me in his very interesting accent and seductive voice.
"Look Aldrich" I said looking at him, "we're over with you lied to me, you kill people, we're through okay please move on".
I turned away from him but he gripped my arm and jerked me to face him, "I am tired of this, you want me I can smell it on you like a bitch in heat, so don't play the moral high ground. I did some checks on you Parks, I know every lie you told, every pair of pants you pissed in, and every thing you done till the time we met. So don't play like you are better than me, I am king of the vampyres I could kill you now, I can make your like a living hell or both. So don't get me mad and come home with me and let me soothe your little worries".
Venom foamed in my mouth, "why don't you take all the guys in this place and have your way with them before you slaughter them. You seem to not mind killing people, in fact why not just kill me and get this over with"!
I felt a cold chill then, God I must have hit a sore spot alright. His eyes were darkened and narrow as he stared holes to the back of my skull. Then before the dread could cement in I saw him disappear in a flash and...God that screams. All around me men in the club were dying, blood shooting out of them like water out of a house, my screams were of horror and some sort of self hatred. I brought this fate onto them and I am to be blamed for allowing that monster to do this, when I was coming down from my hysteria I was shaking as I saw it all around me...death. Blood, guts, gore, I was the only one left alive, so was Aldrich but I was unsure if he could be counted as alive. Blood covering him from head to toe, he looked at me his eyes glowing with a bright sunlight yellow. Then he gave me a monstrous grin, blood all over his teeth.
I was almost catatonic the last thing I remember was that I was in the back of his limo, he was licking the blood off his fingers. The drive had no measure of time to me till finally it came to my apartment I was let out and before the limo left I saw Aldrich gruesome face from the open window.
"Parks remember what happens from now on is you, we could have been happy but from now on I'll make you life a living hell".
Then the limo peeled out and I was left alone in the cold. Winter was around the corner and somehow I felt at the cost of my freedom I had lost everything.
...to be continued.
