As the vampire lifted his head there was almost a shimmer in those dull gray eyes, and a smile graced his face when he saw Orphie. Without a spoken word the boy placed himself in Raul's lap and cuddled in, one of the vampire's arms now across Orphie's back, the other on his bottom. It was a tender moment and a testament to the feelings that had been built between them, and a newly familiar pain struck Raul's heart. "Did you have a nice time out?" Raul asked softly "Yeah...it was fun" Orphie replied and Raul kissed him on the top of his head "Thank you for looking after him" Raul said as his gaze turned to Marrok "Did you just thank me?" Marrok asked surprised "Not that I need thanks from the likes of you" he added hastily as he pouted "So what did you do while you were out?" Raul asked as he held Orphie tightly which made him giggle along with Marrok "Well...Marrok ate a little bunny" Orphie replied "It was delicious" Marrok interjected as he and Orphie shared a smile "And I saw my friend from the sick house where you took me from" Orphie said as he and Marrok began to giggle again "I'm not sure that was safe Orphie...everyone probably assumes you are dead...it could bring unneeded attention" Raul said "It's ok...this friend is...special" Orphie said cautiously "Special?...how?" Raul asked "His name is Erco...he's an angel...he watched over me when I was sick" Orphie replied as Raul's face took on a shocked expression Raul found himself at a loss for words, and couldn't pinpoint if he was more shocked Orphie had encountered an angel or that he lived to tell the tale. Angels were the antithesis of vampires, and also their natural enemy. There had been very few reported incidents of an angel and vampires path crossing. mostly because angels were rarely seen and if they were few vampires survived the encounter. An angel's heavenly glow acted like an artificial sunlight, and a normal vampire would begin to burn simply by looking upon one, even in the dead of night. If a vampire somehow managed to fight one without looking upon them, their touch burns a vampire's skin like white hot fire, incinerating them and causing ever lasting death. "Can you tell me more about this angel?" Raul asked "He's a little kid like me...with brown curly hair and blue eyes" Orphie replied "But he's the real deal...wings and everything" Marrok interjected "Are you going to tell Raul what you did with Erco?" he spoke again with a big grin "What did you do with the angel?" Raul asked nervously "We...we sucked each other's penises...and he shot his stuff in my mouth" Orphie replied timidly "That's ok right?" he spoke again nervously as he looked up at Raul "When Orphie swallowed it his eyes went super bright...It was scary...I couldn't see anything" Marrok interjected "Yes that's fine...as I've told you about the curse you will have a heightened desire to do those things...as long as you are happy Orphie" Raul replied "Now when you say he shot his stuff in your mouth...you mean semen?" he spoke again "Yeah it's like your stuff but more watery...and tastes super sweet almost like honey" Orphie replied "But it's weird Erco said angels don't make babies...so why does he have that stuff?" he spoke again "I can't answer that I'm afraid...angels are mysterious creatures...almost as mysterious as you are" Raul replied "I don't know about angels either...but he smelled like dew on the fresh grass at dawn...if that helps" Marrok said awkwardly "As for Orphie's eyes reacting like they did...I do have one hypothesis...but it's only a guess" Raul said "What's that?" Orphie asked "When a vampire drinks blood our bodies break it down into life force to sustain us...in other words we aren't consuming blood for the blood itself...we are consuming it to extract the very life force of whatever we drank from...it could be where this stuff isn't really semen at all as in most races...but angelic essence or life force...again it's only a guess...but it would explain why your eyes reacted like they did...because simply put you fed...and if your eyes glowed that bright it had to pretty potent life force which isn't surprising from an angel" Raul replied When a human is turned into a vampire their bodies begin to cannibalize the remaining blood left in their body to extract the life force, to sustain their bodies and extend animation past the point of death. Thus they quickly have to begin regular blood consumption, or their bodies degrade to a corpse like state with consciousness. All blood is not created equal, and some blood can even give vampires a temporary boost in power upon consumption. Animal blood would be bottom tier, and can barely sustain a vampire temporarily. Human blood is mid tier, it makes up the majority of a vampire's diet with virgin human blood being even more potent. The high tier belongs to the other supernatural races with varying results, but generally is more trouble than it's worth to obtain. "How do you feel?" he spoke again "I feel great...like really good" Orphie replied "So...if Erco's stuff fed me...then if I drank more...I wouldn't have to drink blood anymore?" he spoke again "It's only a theory but yes...it would seem like it could sustain you without you drinking blood...though I would caution you...as we don't know what effect it could have" Raul replied "But then I wouldn't have to hurt anyone...I could just suck Erco's penis...I like doing that...and I like it when he sucks mine" Orphie said "I'm sure you do" Raul said with a laugh "Now we have some time before sunset, so why don't you and Marrok find something to do while I rest a bit more...then we will find something to do before I head off tonight" he spoke again Over the next few hours while Orpheus and Marrok played, Raul continued his mediation. His pride and paternal instincts towards Orphie were in constant conflict, his pride telling him no werewolves could ever defeat him, but his parental instincts were concerned what would happen to Orphie if they did. Raul knew his only choice was to lower himself to talk to Marrok and ask him to look after Orphie in his stead should the unthinkable happen this night, but the mere idea made him angry. As it did he slammed his fist against the cave wall with such intensity it startled Marrok and Orpheus, and made them look at the vampire in confusion. Raul raised his head with eyes glowed red and fangs bared as he met their stares. "The sun has set...I would like to share a bath with Orphie before I head off" Raul said "He does stink" Marrok said with emphasis as he sniffed Orphie "Hey!...who said you could sniff me?" Orphie said with a giggle as he pounced on top of Marrok and the two boys wrestled "Enough you two!...let us go...time is of the essence" Raul said sternly as he stood to his feet and began to walk towards the exit with Marrok and Orpheus "Orphie...as part of your training...please turn into an owl" he spoke again once they were outside "Uh..ok" Orphie said hesitantly then turned into owl form "Now I want you to test the limits of your speed...see just how fast you can circle the forest" Raul said and Orphie took off with such intensity it made Marrok and Raul's hair blow "Wow...he's really something" Marrok said in awe of Orphie "Yes wolf he is...that is why I must begrudgingly ask your help" Raul said with a growl in his voice "Should I perish this night...I must entrust you to help look after him in my stead...swear to me that you will do everything in your meager power to protect and care for him" he spoke again "I swore that when he became my alpha...and just so you know... you will fail...my father is the strongest werewolf in generations...that is why he is called the true heir of Romulus...he is scary in human form...but under the full moon he is terrifying...they should have sent an army" Marrok said as his body began to tremble slightly in fear "Then we have an understanding...as much as I hate it...you are the only one I can ask this of...Orphie means everything to me...so please keep your word" Raul said emotionally Just then a strong gust of wind blew upon Orphie's return, he hovered above them in owl form then returned to humanoid form in midair and landed on the ground. "Did you see me?...did you see me?...I was really fast" Orphie said excitedly with a smile "You did amazing Orphie...your flight speed as an owl is truly incredible" Raul said proudly "Yeah you are awesome" Marrok said as Orphie beamed with pride "Now let us go to the watering hole for that bath before I head to town" Raul said They made their way to the watering hole with the full moon hovering overhead, and when they arrived Marrok changed into wolf form then jumped into water, he began to dog paddle which made Orphie laugh. Meanwhile Raul stripped off and discarded his clothes while he shook his head at the boy's antics. "He's such a silly puppy" Orphie said with a giggle "I am not!" Marrok said telepathically "Pay him no concern...right now is about us" Raul said as he picked Orphie up into his arms then sat upon the large smooth rock "I love you Orphie with every fiber of my being" Raul said emotionally "I love you too" Orphie said as he rested his head on Raul's chest Raul took his finger and cocked Orphie's head back then the pair kissed passionately, more so than they ever had before, their feelings and hearts uniting as one in the moment. It was as if time itself stood still and the moon cast its light down upon them like a spotlight to showcase the sharing of their love. "Wow" Orphie said softly as their kiss broke "Wow indeed" Raul said with a smile as they looked into each other's eyes "Now Orphie I would like to attempt to share something with you" he spoke again "What?" Orphie asked "It is what you did with Marrok...he called it humping...but it's also called making love...and that is what I want to do with the one I love before I go into battle" Raul said as he stood with Orphie in his arms and laid him on his back upon the smooth surface of the rock "Is it going to hurt?" Orphie asked timidly as he looked to Raul's large erect penis then up into his eyes "You should feel no pain...but if you do we will stop immediately" Raul replied Vampires do not experience pain like a human, that isn't to say they don't experience it but they have a much higher pain threshold than a human. Also as they bodies willed them to sin, and the laying of two males together was one of the ultimate sins according to heaven, their bodies welcomed the act. Their physiology was altered because of this fact and allowed them to experience anal sex far easier than a human. Raul's only concern was the fact Orphie really wasn't a true vampire, and would his body react the same way. "Ok" Orphie said softly as he lifted his legs and brought them back which exposed his hole to Raul Raul presented his erection to Orphie's rosebud, and watched as it automatically bloomed to allow him easy and safe passage, thus conforming this part of Orphie's physiology was like a vampire. As Raul pushed effortlessly inside he still watched Orphie's face for any pain, but only saw the boy's eyes closed as he moaned wildly with a look of pure pleasure. When Raul bottomed out with his pubic hair brushing Orphie's skin, the boy unleashed a guttural moan as his body began to shudder and shake with the onset of an orgasm. Raul held himself still and enjoyed the feeling of the orgasmic contractions as they gripped and released his penis, he smiled as he watched Orphie's face contort and could see his penis pulsing as it tried in earnest to unleash non existent seed. When Orphie opened his eyes he looked up to Raul with a big smile, the vampire leaned down and once again kissed the boy he loved passionately. When he raised up he gripped Orphie's ankles as he rocked the boy's body back and began to thrust vigorously inside, the pleasure quickly overwhelming both their senses. The sound of skin slapping skin grew ever louder and every time Raul would hit Orphie's immature prostrate the boy would grunt and call out loudly culminating in another orgasm. Raul roared as he orgasmed right behind with his semen filling up Orphie's insides, but the vampire wasn't through yet, he wanted to make this night memorable for them both. With his hand gripped Orphie's ankle Raul turned the boy on his side and continued to thrust away into the warm velvety tightness now slicked with his cum. This new angle allowed Raul to better hit Orphie's prostate which had the boy going wild as his body shuddered in pleasure and tingles. The longer they went Orphie began to almost scream in pleasure constantly as his very core was shook, his body and penis quaked and quivered uncontrollably as a dizzying haze of pleasure and lost consumed his mind. After Orphie had experienced several more dry orgasms Raul returned the boy on his back, he gripped Orphie under his knees and lifted his body up and with one final slow deep push inside the vampire roared again as his second orgasm of the encounter hit. A copious amount of semen ejaculated from his penis to join with the first batch as Orphie's chute became flooded and the boy continued to moan softly with his eyes closed. As Raul's senses calmed he let Orphie's body down until the boy rested flat upon the rock once again, and the vampire pulled his penis out with a squelching sound. As the semen leaked from Orphie's hole and began to pool, Raul picked the boy up into his arms and held him tightly. "That was the most incredible experience of my entire life Orphie..thank you...I love you so much" Raul said emotionally still overwhelmed from the experience "That was..wow...I didn't know something could feel that good...wow...I wish we could do it more" Orphie said with a smile "When I return tonight we can do it again if you like...and we have the rest of our lives together to do it as much as you want" Raul said "But for now we must get washed up...we made quite a mess of ourselves" he spoke again with a laugh As they turned they saw Marrok laid upon the bank curled up still in wolf form faced away from them. "You didn't want to watch?" Orphie asked with a giggle telepathically "No that's weird...I take it you two are through?" Marrok asked telepathically as he sat up with his tail wagging and looked upon Orpheus and Raul "I hate it you two can talk without me knowing" Raul said bitterly as Marrok changed back into humanoid form "Someones just jealous" Marrok said with a laugh then stuck his tongue out at Raul Raul set about to quickly wash himself and Orpheus up then got dressed again. As he got dressed Orpheus scooped a bit of cum up with his finger and ate it with a look of disappointment. "I wish your stuff was like Erco's" Orphie said "Vampires semen is infertile...meaning we can't make babies...but even a human's semen wouldn't give you the same reaction and allow you to feed...semen in most races carries the building blocks of life but it doesn't contain life force...that isn't generated until a baby is born...again if my hypothesis is correct what Erco produces isn't semen Orphie...it's angelic essence or life force" Raul said "I know...I just wish it was" Orphie said sadly "Now Marrok come here" Raul said as he called the boy over When Marrok joined them, Raul knelt down and took hold of both boy's hands as he brought them together. "Now it is time for me to leave" Raul said "No.." Orphie whined "Yes I must...I'm sorry...Marrok I will trust you to keep your word" Raul said "I will" Marrok said proudly "Alright...I love you Orphie" Raul said emotionally "I love you too forever and forever" Orphie said as he began to cry then threw his arms around Raul's neck Raul hugged Orphie tightly then released him and with a pained look on his face the vampire disappeared in an instant. "We have to go after him...we have to stop this" Orphie said as he continued to cry and sniffle, his emotions overwhelming him "I don't think that's a good idea anymore Orphie" Marrok said "What...why?" Orphie asked as he sniffled and rubbed his eyes "Raul is right...it's too dangerous for you there...my father is terrifying Orphie...you could get killed easily...it is my duty to protect and care for you...and I will do that" Marrok said "No...you have to take me" Orphie whined as his eyes glowed blue and forced Marrok into wolf form "You cannot make me take you there" Marrok said telepathically "I'm not making you...please Marrok take me...I can't do this without you" Orphie said emotionally telepathically "I won't get hurt...I promise...but I'm afraid Raul will...please" he spoke again "What you are asking is for me to put you in harms way...but I can't refuse a direct order from my alpha...if this is really what you want" Marrok said telepathically "It is" Orphie said telepathically "Alright then climb upon my back...if we do this... we do this together...we ride into battle together...and if need be... we die together" Marrok said telepathically "I won't let that happen" Orphie said telepathically as he climbed on Marrok's back Marrok swiftly carried them into the city, but when they arrived it was a scene like they never could have imagined. As they arrived soldiers lay dead at the entrance, their bodies had been torn to shreds and their blood flowed like a river. Buildings were ablaze with thick billowing smoke, screams along with the stench of death wafted through the night air, Philadelphia had become a city besieged by terror. "This is awful" Orphie said telepathically as he surveyed the scene "This is my father" Marrok said sadly telepathically "I think we should turn back" he spoke again telepathically "No we can't" Orphie said telepathically As Marrok gingerly walked them through the city street his paws became saturated in blood, and he began to leave bloody paw prints behind. Bodies of men littered the path as did their entrails, but as no bodies of women and children could be seen, the boys were hopeful they were somewhere safe. They followed the screams of the people as they continued to gingerly make their way through the city until they arrived at the epicenter. There stood the cause of all the destruction, Croatoan, Marrok's father, and alpha of the pack of werewolves that waged destruction upon the city. A hulking bipedal werewolf of the purest black fur, and as the boys looked upon him it was like looking upon death itself. After they got over their initial shock of the sight of Croatoan, what lay at his feet shocked them again, the motionless blood spattered body of Raul with an open hole where his heart once was. "NO!" Orphie screamed out at the sight which caught Croatoan's attention "What is this?...is that you Marrok?...what is that form?...and you dare let that creature upon your back?" Croatoan asked as he growled ferociously "How could you!" Orphie screamed out as he glared at Croatoan "Your insolence knows no bounds...first you ride a member of my pack like a horse...then you dare speak to me" Croatoan replied "Marrok...I thought you were dead...why has our link been severed...is this your doing boy?" he spoke again "I told you Orphie...my father is incredibly powerful...be very careful" Marrok said nervously telepathically "Please stop this!" Orphie screamed and climbed off Marrok's back "You don't have to hurt anyone else...please just leave!" he spoke again as he continued to scream in anguish and ran to Raul's body without a care to the monster that stood above it "You love this creature boy?...well you can love him in hell" Croatoan said with a menacing laugh As Croatoan went to swipe Orphie with his claws, Marrok charged in and lunged for his father's neck only to be swatted away like a bug, his body sent flying through a glass window of a nearby building. "No!" Orphie screamed "I said...to stop!" he spoke again as his eyes glowed fiercely while Croatoan laughed and went for the kill once again As he did Orphie's body consumed by wrath turned into a large black lion with bright glowing blue eyes, and body cloaked in black flame. He unleashed a thunderous roar as he pounced upon Croatoan and began to shred his body like tissue paper with massive razor sharp claws, and for the first time in his life Croatoan was afraid. He became helpless under the lion's strength and ferocity as Croatoan' found his body ripped asunder, and with a mighty roar the lion took the werewolves head within his maw and ripped clean off, spitting it aside. Afterwards Orphie quickly turned back into humanoid form and held Raul's lifeless body in his small arms. "No...No...No" Orphie said as he cried and held Raul's body, knowing the vampire was no more. "No...!" he screamed loudly The volume and intensity of Orphie's scream began to shake his surroundings, his emotions giving power to his vocalizations of anguish. The scream even reached heaven itself, and as it did his body along with Raul's erupted in black flame. Orphie watched as Raul's wounds healed, his body turned to flesh colored, and as he opened his now hazel eyes it was evident Raul was no longer a vampire, but a human once more. "You saved me" Raul said emotionally "I'm so glad" Orphie said as he continued to cry while he held Raul As their emotional moment played out two mysterious figures appeared before them, as the pair unfurled their large angelic wings time came to a stand still and froze. "Who..who are you?" Orphie asked nervously as he looked up at the pair of angels "I am Uriel" Uriel said who stood as a tall humanoid figure with ebony skin dressed in holy vestments "I am Michael" Michael said as he stood as a tall humanoid figure with Caucasian skin, flowing brown hair, and clad in brilliant gold armor with a sword sheathed at his hip. "I have come to kill you for the threat you pose to this world" he spoke again as he quickly drew his sword which set ablaze with red flame in his grip Orphie flinched as the sword was swung in his direction, but Uriel presented two fingers and stopped the blade mid swing. "Not so hasty brother" Uriel said softy "You know what he is...you know what he is capable of" Michael said angrily as he looked upon Uriel "Yes...but I also know he is still a child...and like all children his path has not been decided yet...he could very well still walk a path of light" Uriel said with a smile "And if he doesn't?" Michael asked "Then you may destroy him as you please" Uriel replied "Fine!" Michael growled as he once again sheathed his sword "Excuse me...you know what I am?...no one else does" Orphie asked nervously as he looked up at Uriel "You are the only one like you that has ever been born into this world...but yes we have our suspicions of what manner of being you are little one...and just how dangerous you are" Uriel replied "What am I?" Orphie asked "To better explain...we need to call forth another member to our little gathering" Uriel replied as he held his hand aloft in the air and Erco appeared before them. "Uriel...Michael" Erco said nervously as he knelt and bowed his head to the pair "Have you any idea what you have done Erco?...our angelic laws are iron clad!...they exist for a reason!...you know this!" Michael yelled angrily as Erco continuously flinched "Stop yelling at him!...you're scaring him...I knew you were a mean guy!" Orphie yelled as he remembered the story Raul had told him "Cease this conflict at once...what's done is done...the question is where we go from here" Uriel said sternly "Now I'm going to admit we were alerted to your presence before now...and have been using one of our seraphim to spy on you...to gather information as we too have been curious what you are...and this is what we have pieced together" he spoke again Serpahim were angels of the highest order, and served directly under the archangels. "On the day you were sired you masturbated Erco...and afterwards ingested his angelic essence...is this true?" he spoke yet again "Uh yes...I played with his penis and licked his stuff up...if that's what you mean" Orphie replied "So as we heard...you were turned with angelic essence in your body" Uriel said "You knew better Erco!...there is a reason why sex is forbidden for angels!" Michael started to yell again which made Erco flinch more, but Uriel's glare stopped Michael's tirade "When a vampire is turned...it is as if they are born again...as life ceases momentarily then resumes...death to their natural life...reborn to their unnatural one...so you were reborn with angelic essence in your body.. in doing so you were reborn a hybrid...part nephelim...part vampire" Uriel said "Nephelim?!" Erco muttered under his breathe in shock "What's a nephelim?" Orphie asked "A nephelim strictly speaking is the union of angel and man...but traditionally it is when an angel lays with a human female...and they have a child...inherently incredibly dangerous as they posses angelic powers...but the poor emotional control of humans...conceived by sin..it was for this reason sex for angels was forbidden" Uriel replied "Gadreel" Michael said with contempt in his voice "It's perplexing how you came to be...but when a vampire is reborn again...their bodies reconstitute or reconstruct...the essence of what it is to be human mixes with the essence of a vampire...and thus a new vampire is born...we feel as when your body reconstructed itself...it not only pulled your human essence into the mix...but the angelic essence present in your body...then mixed with the vampire essence...thus creating you" he spoke again "As to what you are...we will call you a vamphelim...the first of your kind...access to both angelic and vampiric powers...that is why you are so dangerous little one...do you understand?" he spoke yet again "I think so" Orphie said as he was deep in thought "I always knew you were an angel" Raul said softly with a smile "But the extent of your powers is still unknown...you just turned a vampire back into a human...in the process recalling his soul from where it rested...not even we archangels are capable of such an act" Uriel said "You disturbed the natural order...thus I came to slay you" Michael snapped "All because one little cherub couldn't control himself!" he yelled again as Erco flinched "I'm sorry...I'm so sorry" Erco said as he sobbed and cried "He did nothing wrong!" Orphie yelled "I wanted to suck his penis...he didn't make me...so quit being mean to him!" he yelled again "Erco you are hereby banished from heaven" Michael said sternly "And that is not up for discussion" he spoke again quickly as he snapped at Uriel "No.." Erco whined as he continued to sob and tears fell from his eyes "I agree he should be banished from heaven...after all he did break angelic law...if we don't make an example out of him...this might encourage the other angels...we could have anarchy on our hands... but he still has an angelic duty to fulfill Michael" Uriel said to Michael "Erco...you are indeed banished from heaven...but I am tasking you with now being Orphie's guardian angel...to ensure he walks the path of light...should he ever stray onto the path of darkness...it could mean the end of our world" he spoke again "Really?" Erco asked as he raised is head for the first time and look upon Uriel with tear stained eyes "Yes...you are now Orphie's guardian angel...see you do not fail him" Uriel replied sternly "Depending on how well you do...you may yet earn your place in heaven again" he spoke again which made Michael look at him in shock "I will I promise!" Erco exclaimed with a smile "Now Orphie...I think you can do a lot of good in this world as you walk the path of light...as such I am going to set you about on a journey...but I'm going to send you and your friends somewhere to rest first though" Uriel said as Marrok's unconscious body appeared before them "Where are you sending us?" Orphie asked nervously "That is up to you to discover...and what you find there" Uriel replied with a smile as he lifted his hand in the air As he did Erco, Marrok, Orphie, and Raul became encased in a bubble with a violet sheen and disappeared. "That was quite a show brother...you know the sword of god would not have harmed him" Uriel said with a smile "I knew you would play along...but you play a dangerous game brother...I hope it isn't the end of us all...what would father think if he were still with us" Michael said "You didn't even tell the boy everything...especially the true nature of that black flame he wields" he spoke again "I will in time...this is only the beginning" Uriel said with a laugh
