Date: Tue, 25 Oct 2005 20:14:11 -0500 From: Jashua Glynn Subject: Night Eternal Chapter 1 You know all the usual stuff, don't read if it's illegal or you don't like sex or sex between two males offends you. All characters are purely fictional, and any likeness is coincidence. Joshua Glynn reserves all rights bla bla bla! This is a story of two friends who after being apart from each other, discover a love between them they never knew could exist. Night Eternal: Chapter 1: Coby's Story I remember that night very clearly. The city air was cold and clammy. A little fog had rolled in from the bay that night. The Club we went to was a bit rundown but at least it was clean. That was more than I could say about most of the clubs we went to. Steve and Scott had convinced us to come. It was drag night and it was supposed to a really funny show. It was the first time I had been to a gay club. It wasn't much different from most clubs we been to. Except for the fact that there were very few women there, and most of them were men! The music was different too, more peppy and disco. We were having a good time, the show was hilarious, and we got a chance to meet Scott and Steve's other friends. It was a real fun night, until after the show. Then, my world was changed forever. Shortly after the show, most of us broke up and mingled. Most of the guys in the club were amused at the straight people coming to see the drag show, but that didn't stop us from getting hit on. A lot of the guys were taken with Ryan. I have to admit even I think he looks good. But to most of these guys he was like a god to be worshiped. I had gone to the bar for another drink, when a guy walked up and sat in the stool next to me. He ordered a glass of red wine. "Not your usual bar is it?" he said laughing. "Not really." I said with a slight giggle. "Let me guess, your gay friends invited you to come see the drag show right?" "Correct sir!" "And you're a collage student from downtown?" "You're three for three." I was amused by his little game. I started wondering if this was some kind of pickup. What he said next, however, floored me. "Secretly you're in love with your best friend, the hot one over there!" he pointed to Ryan, who was dancing with Dan, one of Scott's friends we had met. His statement hit me in the gut. It was like he was stating the obvious. And deep down inside, I knew he was right. However, that inner demon that kept me from ever telling Ryan, or myself that, was one who spoke. "No! No! Ryan is my best friend. We're not...gay." "Really, I've seen the way you look at him. And your reaction to my pointing it out, tells me I'm right." "No really! We're just good friends. We have known each other since birth that's all" "Who are you trying to convince Coby, me or yourself?" That stopped me in my tracks. I never told this guy my name. "Who are you?" "That's not important Coby! Do you love him?" "Yes! Of course I do! He's like a brother to me." "No! Do you love him? Do you want to be with him? Do you want him to make love to you?" I felt like I was being backed into a corner. Something inside me was screaming yes! But my fear, unfortunately, was stronger. "No, No! He is... He is just my friend! Why... why are you making such a big deal over this?" "Because I believe we should all be true to our selves. If I had been true to my self I would have saved myself decades of trouble. with me." And to my amazement I did exactly that. My mind was so confused. Why was I following this guy? Who was he? Why was he so interested in me and my personal life? And why am I following him? He led me out to his car and I got in passengers seat. It was a black Cadillac with leather interior and all the trimmings. It was perhaps the most beautiful car I had ever been in. "You look tired, I think you should go to ." The next thing I remember, I was in a fairly dark room lit by over a hundred candles. There was a big roaring fire in the huge fireplace. The couch I was sitting on was very nice, black leather. There was a big oval table in front of me, and sitting in a chair opposite me was my captor. He smiled at me. I had just realized that I had not really looked at him in the club. He was there but I had not really noticed him. He was stunning, for a guy! He was a bit shorter then me. Possibly in his early thirties, was well built and had this really long, straight, black hair. He was wearing black slacks and dark blue shirt open at the collar. He had a devilish look in his dark blue eyes. He laughed, "Ah Sleeping beauty awakens! Come on now it is just a few minutes to midnight and the night is still young. I need you awake and alert... Ah yes there you are. So my name is Christopher Wilmington Westmore and it is a pleasure to have you in my house! I hope you will come to like it here because I'm afraid it will be your new home for a while." I was dumbfounded! I didn't know what to say. I just sat there with my mouth open. "I have decided that you will become my new protégée. I mean to teach you some valuable lessons. One of you're first lessons will be to learn yourself. You will need to be honest with yourself if you are to become powerful. To do that I will deny you the presence of the one you hold most dear. The time will come that you will beg me to let him join us." The thought that I might never see Ryan again struck me like a ton of bricks. It drew me out of my stupor. "But...but why would you do this?" "Because my boy, you seem lost and I think you need direction in your life. One as fine as yourself needs to know what really maters the most to him, and without knowing yourself, you would continue denying the one thing in this world that can bring you happiness and I mean to make you see that." "Why me?" His smile turned wicked, "Your remind me of myself. I spent a lifetime convincing myself that I was something I was not. Now when I see someone doing the same thing I feel compelled to help them see the light. Unfortunately, to do this I will have to cause you some pain. You see, you will never see any one you knew ever again, except from a far distance. >From this day forth, your old life is gone and I will help you forge a new one!" "WHAT!!! "Yes! First you must feel the pain of loss. Only then will you realize that your love for Ryan runs deep into your core! There is a silver lining. I am going to introduce you to a world you never dreamed possible. You will become one of us. You will feel power beyond your wildest dreams and you will know true pleasure." "Wha...what are you?" "I have lived for over 1,236 years. I am one of the Kindred, the sons of Cain. Your Hollywood would call me a Vampire." "A...A Vampire?" "Yes, I'm glad you are paying attention. Now you must understand something, I have just broken one of our most solemn laws by telling you this. So, now you have a dire choice, I'm afraid. I can make you one of us and you can accept your fate. Or I can kill you and put an end to such a pitiful painful life puting you out of you're misery. You see, no one may know of our existence, so I'm afraid I have committed you either way. But as one of the Kindred you will not age, you will live forever and you will be very powerful." "Do I have to kill people to survive?" "Oh no, dear boy! If we killed everyone we fed from there would be no one left. No, although you will have to sustain your self though the drinking of human blood, there is no need to kill any one you feed from. I will teach you this. But, I will not lie to you. You may find that you need to kill sometimes to survive, but it is not a necessity. You will, however, have to give up the day and become a creature of the night. However it is a minor price to pay." The implications of what he was offering me were enormous. To live off the blood of other people, to always have to hide from everyone, but to live forever! The worst part is that I could only see my friends and family from afar. I don't know if I can do that. What is my alternative, to die! "I've made my choice. I choose to live." "Well said my boy." The next thing I knew he was on top of me. He smiled at me and kissed me full on the lips. I fought at first but the power of his kiss was overwhelming. It was the most sensuous kiss I had ever had. Our tongues began to duel. He was amazing. I had completely given in to his kiss, when he pulled off. "Ok, this will sting at first, but not for long, I promise you that!" I saw a flash from his mouth as his fangs extended and he lowered his mouth down on my neck. I felt a sharp pain. However it was immediately replaced by a euphoria that I can only describe as orgasmic. It felt better then sex. I can't really describe it in words. Then. I felt my whole body going numb and everything went black. The next thing I remember I was shocked awake. I could feel Life flow though me as a river. My awareness sparked back to life and I clung greedily to the source of life. Chris's wrist had been hovering above my mouth but it was now firmly secured to my mouth by both of my hands. After a few seconds of drinking in the warm rich "life," he pulled his arm away very easily, despite my death grip. So began my life as a Kindred. Chris had taught me the finer ways to hunt for my food. It is not like it is in the stories. He explained that we would go out to a bar and pick up a girl, or a guy, and take them to a nearby hotel. You see the ruse was that we were going for a night of pulse pounding sex with our newfound partners. However, we really just wanted what was pounding the pulse. He also warned me that the number one rule was that we must be perceived as human. We must blend in, so I had to be discreet about how I handled the actual feeding. To the human it must seem as though they only had a wild night. He explained that this was part of the Masquerade. The main law that we hold, that we must strive to pass for human. He told me the process was actually very pleasurable for our victim, as I had felt when he "Embraced" me. And if we did it properly they would leave the next morning feeling a bit weak, and over loaded from the pleasure we would bring. We could have sex with them if we wanted, but the embrace was far more pleasurable and there are those who love it so much they want to come back to us again and again. That night he took me out for my first hunt. He had given me explicit instructions on what I needed to do. Was I shocked, however, when he took me to another gay bar on his side of town? At first, I objected that I was not into other guys, that I liked women. "That is exactly why I brought you here. The first lesson that you need to learn is that blood is blood. The sex of the blood matters not! If you are hungry and all you can find are men, but you only feed from women. Then, you will die of starvation. You need to realize that you can have a preference, but you must 'blend in' whenever you have too. Besides you may surprise yourself and enjoy yourself!" So here I was, in a gay bar, trying to decide which guy I wanted to hit on. This felt strange to me, very embarrassing. However, I didn't have to wait long, because just a few minutes after I walked in the door a guy came up to me smiling. "Well, honey let me guess? You are a curious straight guy come to see how good gay life can be?" "Wow, you hit it right on the nose! Am I that obvious?" I said back trying my best to be flirtatious. "Now that is cute. So are you just looking or are trying to find some action?" "Well I would really like to um... fool around but I don't even know where to begin." I said trying to sound as innocent as possible. "Oh my God, Heaven has smiled on me tonight. You have a place?" This guy was the typical, heavy flame, lights up the room when he enters kind of gay guy. "Yea, just down the street." We had rented a room at a cheep hotel down the street. "My name is Coby." "I'm John. Let's go" John looked as if he were in his early 20s. He seemed fairly proud of his body and it looked well kept. He looked pretty hot in his tight black jeans and skintight wife beater, well for a guy any way. I couldn't believe I was doing this, or that this had been so easy. When we got to the room he seemed to like it, although he thought the window treatment was all wrong. Yea, he's that kind flame. After I got the door closed and locked, I turned around and he was on me instantly. His mouth was on mine quickly and he was pushing his tongue into my mouth. I went with it just so I could get the full experience and to my surprise I really liked it. This guy was an amazing kisser and he was very aggressive. His very hard crotch was grinding into me. After he broke the kiss, he smiled at me, "So how far do you want to go?" After a few seconds of thought I decided I really wanted to try this. Now that I was in the situation I figured 'what the hell'! "I want to try everything, except being fucked. I'm not sure I'm feeling quite that experimental tonight." I said giggling. His smile was huge. "I was hoping you would say that." His hands went straight to my crotch. He was franticly trying to remove my jeans. As he was getting my pants undone, I started working on him. I was amazed at how turned on I was getting by this guy. He did have a very nice body under his clothes. And I was glad I had said I didn't want him to fuck me because his dick longer than mine, although it was very skinny. I mean I wasn't small but at least I was bigger around then him. As my pants dropped to the floor, so did his. He practically ripped my shirt off but he stopped just on the other side of my mouth. The shirt was still covering my eyes as he continued his assault on my mouth. It was the most erotic thing anyone had ever done with me. This guy was really turning me on. Leaving my shirt over my eyes he began kissing and licking all the way down my body. Not seeing what he was doing was really getting me hot. I was then treated to one of the best blowjobs of my life! This guy was amazing. He was doing this thing with his tongue... I pulled him off of me because I wanted to try it. I pushed him onto the bed and he lay back, with a big smile. I then grabbed the first dick that was not my own. It was unlike anything I had felt. It was completely exhilarating. I took him into my mouth and I loved the taste of his cock. "Are you sure this is the first dick you have ever sucked?" he said laughing. After a few minutes of taking as much of him into my mouth as I could, I pulled off and smiled at him, "Ok, I'm ready?" He smiled real big, "Look in my pocket." In his pocket he had a few condoms and a disposable pack of lube. I chuckled at the thought this guy had come prepared. I quickly put on the condom and the lube. And I worked some into his ass. My finger slid in easily, I figure he must be a regular bottom. Then I slid my cock in. Oh my God! Now I have fucked a girl up the ass before, but this was outstanding. We were facing each other, and his face told me he loved every inch of me. I couldn't believe I had never tried this before. It was so hot! After awhile, I realized that we were both getting close, so I moved down close to his body so I could rabbit fuck him. He just moaned even louder. I put my head beside his, extended my fangs, and sunk into his neck. "Oh fuck! Ahhhhh!!!!!" I heard him yell. The euphoric feeling came back, although not as strong but the life that was flowing into my mouth made the experience even better and hotter! It was like an oven in the pit of my stomach was switched on for the first time. I had never felt so alive! I could feel his cum spray all over both of us and I could feel my whole body pulse as the sensation drove me over the edge. I was the hardest orgasm of my life. I suddenly realized that I needed to stop. If I had gone too much further he would have died from loss of blood. I figure I had drained about 3 pints from him. He would be very weak but he would live. I licked the wound on his neck as Chris had told me and sure enough the wound closed as if it had never been there. I felt amazing, I should be tired right now but I've never felt more energized and awake. John was passed out, but at least he had fun. So had I, although I was just glad to see I could still cum. I had been worried about that. I felt more alive than I have ever felt before in my life. I could feel how much stronger I was. If this is how I will feel after every feeding, this is going to be an interesting new life for me. I gathered my things and left. Chris was waiting for me in the lobby. He was smiling, "So how was it?" I felt a bit like I kid with a new toy, I just giggled, "Better than sex!" He laughed about that, "Well my boy as you can see this life has its perks. What did you do with him?" "Well, you said I need to blend in, so I tried everything with him." "Well, then it was better then ordinary sex then..." he said laughing. I chuckled, "Yea, I guess so. I waited until we were about to cum to do it. It magnified the orgasm like a hundred fold. It was outstanding!" He smiled, "You did well then. Come now, there is someone I must introduce you to." He took me to meet the Prince of the city, a very stately man by the name of Remington. He had a presence that was majestic. Chris told me later that it was one of our traditions that when new Kindred is brought in to his city that he be presented before the Prince. He also told me that you must have a Prince's permission before bringing a new Kindred into the world. Chris was teaching me all kinds of new things. Like how to see the aura a person radiates, so that you can tell what kind of mood he is in. It also allows you to tell human from Kindred, as well as some other creatures of the night. He taught me how to cloak myself so that I can appear as anyone, even how to disappear if necessary. But the coolest thing he taught me was how to manipulate people, like the way he had commanded me that first night. The Most important thing he taught me was how to defend myself. This included daily workouts and training in martial arts. I had studied some karate as a kid, but this was much more intense. Chris said that I was one of his finest pupils. As part of this he taught me how to increase my strength and speed for short bursts. The only problem with that is that if I use it too much it burns through the blood that sustains me. Also part of my physical training was to show me how to heighten my senses, to be able to see the slightest movement from over 100 yards, or to pick a person out of a crowd by the smell of their cologne and finally he taught me how to extend claws from my fingers, just like I bare my fangs. After two months of hard training, Chris thought I was ready to begin my work. He said I would start out running errands. It could be anything from overseeing shipments, to talking to local businesses owners offering protection. You see Chris is the head of a mafia with ties and branches all over the US. He was grooming me to eventually take over in this city to watch over his interests in a few years. For now I'm to work with Jason, another child of Chris's. We had a family reunion of sorts. All of his 'family' had come to town a week after my awakening. Together there were over 100 of us that Chris had brought into the Kindred world, all us working for him all over the US, some over 1,000 years old. That was not to mention the hundreds of others brought over by his children. Come to find out I was the first 'family' member Chris had brought over in over 50 years. Jason was the last in 1942. Most of the family is from all over Europe. Only Jason and I are from the US, of course they all live here now. There were about 30 of the children that had been brought over in the last 5 years by Chris's progeny. But I got the feeling most of them were jealous of me. I was given higher status than them, because Chris was my master, making me the equal to that of their sires. In fact, as part of my first responsibilities I was given two of Jason's children to work with, as their leader, Brad and Roth. Brad was fine with it. He was laid back, and willing to do whatever Jason and Chris needed him to do. Roth on the other hand, really likes power! He saw me a usurper and he didn't like the idea of working for a kid younger then him. I had been doing different things just working my way up, proving my self. I found that, strangely, I preferred feeding off of guys, a fact that really surprised me. John became a regular of mine. He couldn't get enough of me. I had a few others that became regulars too. Like Alice, this real sexy twenty something nymphomaniac. I think I keep her around because she reminds me of Jamie. But what was really killing me was all I wanted was to be with Ryan. He was all I thought about most days. Chris was right, the longer I was away from him, the more I wanted to be with him. I would go to him when I wasn't working, just to check up on him. He never knew I was there. I always kept myself hidden from him. He was becoming an obsession. Every moment of free time I had, was spent watching over him. After my 3rd month as a Kindred I approached Chris about Ryan. "Sir, I need to talk to you." "Let me guess, this about Ryan isn't it?" "How..." "You think I don't know you sneak off to see him every chance you get? I am actually glad you are getting the opportunity to practice not being seen." "You had me followed?" "Dear boy, I have to make sure that you don't get into trouble, because if you get into trouble, then so do I. It is the price I pay for siring you. You are my child now and until you are accepted I will be held responsible for you and your actions but you have been making me proud! So, have you finally come to realize your true feelings for your 'friend'?" "Yes, I understand now what you were trying to get me to see! But now I am cursed to a life of never being with him. So what was the point?" "Who said you could never be with him? Coby, all you need is an opportunity to gain the favor of the Prince. Once you have the Prince's favor then you could ask to child Ryan. You can be with him forever! But understand he may resent you for it, because he to would have to give up all contact with his family forever. But then again, you have adjusted quite well. I do know that you haven't been to see your family in any of your outings." "I understand it would be a hard choice for him, but I have been watching him. He is just as broken up about our separation as I am. Although I'm not sure if he has realized why yet. But I know he needs me and I need him and I'll do whatever it takes to get him back. As for my family, I think if I saw them I would be tempted to go to them. So I'm just staving off the temptation." So I redoubled my efforts. I took on every job I could get my hands on for the Prince. Brad and Roth were working out. Well, Brad is working out, Roth was another story. Brad is becoming like my third brother. I found out he is actually the oldest of the three of us. He is over 50 years old. He has proved to me several times that I can trust him with my life. He has become very protective of me. His experience has pulled us out of the fire many times and his power rivals my own. He has also taught me a few things. He's showed me this trick one night while we were out in the countryside on business. It comes in very handy if you get caught out in the open when the sun is coming up. It allows you to merge with the open ground. He called it melding with the earth. It is like falling into a lake but instead of water it is hard earth. He also showed me how to take on the form a wolf. He said it was a good trick if I had a run in with any Lupines, the Werewolves. He said they generally won't hurt other wolves. It also was useful for getting in to tight places and climbing some things. Roth, however, fights me at every turn. He is always questioning my orders and he generally does things the way he wants, just to prove I'm wrong. If he wasn't so brash about it, I would probably hear him out. He wants to be the one calling all the shots and thinks I am beneath him. He is only 5 years older then I but most times he acts like he's 3. Brad is getting feed up with him too. He is reckless, and he endangers us more times then not. He is so caught up in proving me wrong that he gets us in to hairy situation all the time. However, the Prince has started to take a liking to me. He has started requesting my assistance on more important tasks. Last month, we were asked to hunt down a fellow Kindred that had broken one of the most grievous of our laws. He had committed Diablerie! The sin of not only murdering another Kindred but sucking out his life force to strengthen your own blood and power. We dealt with him easily enough. We had become very good at dealing with problems like this. Although I was still getting used to actually killing someone, I understood it was for a just reason. I was surprised at how easily I was able to kill when necessary. Chris told me once that it was the beast that all Kindred have, that animalistic nature that makes the killing easier. I was raised to "accepted" after that. I was afforded all the rights of the Kindred. Chris was no longer held responsible for my actions and I could get a place of my own now. Chris gave me $100,000 to start my new life and another $40,000 bonus for all the jobs completed up to that point. I found a nice place downtown, not too far from the college campus, bought a new black Lincoln Aviator and went shopping for a new wardrobe. Chris suggested that I should get a few loyal servants, protectors, for me when I'm asleep during the day. He had a few human servants that knew his nature. I had asked him about that once and he said the only way to let a human know about us was to bind them to us so they cannot tell anyone else about us. He had said he would tell me how when the time was right. Well he told me, after I was accepted, that to bind someone to me I needed to give them some of my blood. If a mortal drinks our blood while they are still alive, they will become a Ghoul. It is kind of like being a half-Kindred. They enjoy our Long life, healing ability, and they have none of our weakness to sunlight. However, they cannot feed as we do and must get the blood that sustains them from us. So I chose John and Alice to be my ghouls. They were more than happy. They had become so hooked on my embrace, they were eager to serve. They actually try to compete for my affections. Things started to get into a routine. I continued working for the Prince and Chris, doing anything that needed to get done. I also continued to watch Ryan. He seemed to be better now. at least things were getting back to normal for him. However I realized that Jamie wasn't hanging out with the group anymore. I decided to check it out one night. The little minx, she was working with a local sex toyshop, making porno films. Well, I guess she finally found a way to get all the sex she can handle. Ryan was getting better, so I was starting to rethink my plan. If he was still happy without me, how selfish was it of me to want him to be with me. Then everything collapsed around him at once. First, the loss of Steve and Scott hit him. When I heard about it I wanted to investigate the crash to see what had happened but things got busy for me. The little bit I got to check in on Ryan, I could see that he was going down hill, quick. But what sent him over the edge was because of me, the very next week. The Prince had called me in because there had been a serious breach of the masquerade. A mortal had witnessed a Kindred in the middle of feeding, and the worst part was that he had video taped it. There must be no evidence of us! So the only choice was that the human must die and the tape destroyed. The Kindred that was caught was a good friend of the Prince, so this would have to be a discreet operation. After some minor investigations we tracked the guy we were looking for to an apartment downtown. Roth climbed the wall out side planning to come in through the window, Brad ran up the stairs, and I took the elevator. Once we were all in position we stormed the room. Brad and I ran in the front door, while Roth had climbed in though a window he had opened. There were two guys in the room sitting on the couch. They jumped up as we ran into the room. They looked very shocked to have strangers barge in to their apartment. It looked as if they had just moved in. "Hey! What the hell is...?" before he could say another word Roth pounced on him driving the guy to the ground and Roth's claws into his chest. His voice sounded familiar some how. "No! NO! I didn't see any thing. I..." The long haired blond didn't get anything else out as my claws sunk into his right lung. I spun around and drove my claws across his chest again slamming him into the wall. He slowly slid to the floor clutching his chest fighting for breath. Once we had both of the guys down, I took a look at the situation. The blond was the guy we were looking for. The dark haired guy was just at the wrong place at the wrong time. Then I got a good look at the dark haired guy, as he was spitting blood. Roth hadn't killed him, and it was good thing too! It was Nick! Oh my God! What's going on! This must be his new boyfriend or something. Nick's eyes were wide open in amazement, as he stared at me. "C...Coby!" End of Chapter 1 Next Chapter: Reunion! Wow! Coby has come along way in a short time! And now he is about to have to kill one of his best friends Nick... or is he? Tune in to the next chapter to find out!
