you took it upon yourselves
to procreate and then when they in turn chose a mortal, and so on.
You have no idea how wrong these actions are–how blasphemous it is
to me! All these impure vampires that are walking about are flawed.
Not pure, like Ezra, Eme and you. I am the Blood God, it is I who should be choosing
who is eligible!” Adam turned and glared at
Elijah.
“For millennia I suffered
in torpor as my body slowly regenerated itself and I was left with
my growing abhorrence of my ungrateful fledglings. For look at what
I gave you! I gave you immortal life!” He walked back over to
Elijah and stood close to him, causing Elijah to feel
uncomfortable.
“So on to how I came to be
here with you now. Eight years ago when a group of archeologists
uncovered my body, I was more than ready for a small feast. And
feast I did. I am very grateful, for they released me; it just so
happens that they made the ultimate sacrifice by opening my
sarcophagus.”
He paused, closing his eyes
and swaying his head as he breathed in deeply, “Mmmm, and they were
so delicious. I had almost forgotten how good it was!” A slight
chuckle escaped his lips, but quickly enough his face
soured.
“Unfortunately, their blood
did not help me to regenerate to my old self and I was left scarred
as when you last saw me.” Adam paused as he saw Elijah beginning to
form words, “Yes son, what is it?”
“But how
are you in this body, this form?”
“Ah, yes.
Well, you see I was very, very angry as you could imagine. All these vampires
around the world and I had no say! So, I began a cleansing of all
those I felt did not deserve my lineage. I started my way through
Europe. The more I eradicated those unworthy of my blood, the
closer I came to your fledglings. I was able to lock in on where
Ezra, Eme and you were. Oddly enough, I found myself fascinated
with the group of vampires you had decided to call your clan.
Knowing that killing these particular vampires would cause you and
Eme much sorrow, I decided I would save them for last–for I never
imagined at the time that I would be killed. But I took
precautions. I found this body. I loved its appearance and the soul
he possessed was so weak.” Adam’s grin grew.
“I know you like to feed on
the weak of mind and body.” Adam said, placing his hands behind his
back interlacing his fingers. Elijah bit his tongue and said
nothing in response.
“Well
anyway,” Adam continued, “I found myself a new body and I was quite
exhilarated. His blood was so robust and full of luscious flavour . I so enjoyed draining him
to the point of death.” Adam paused, “Why the face? You know what
it is like. There is no need for a look like that!” He
laughed.
“It is
not the fact that you savoured that boy’s
lifeblood, it is just you that disgusts me!” Elijah spat.
“Ah! There’s that spunk I
love so much!” Again, Elijah said nothing and Adam
continued.
“Now, on to how I came to
inhabit this beautiful body.” Adam chuckled. “This was the part I
wasn’t sure would work, but it was worth the try. I fed this
seemingly lifeless boy my blood and as I did I recited a spell to
transfer my soul into his body and place his dead soul into my
scarred husk.
“I was so pleasantly
surprised that it had worked. I then instructed my old body to kill
you, Eme, Ezra and any other vampire he crossed paths with.
Meanwhile, in my new body, I lay comatose in a hospital somewhere.
They filled my body with liquids–enough for it to emulate a normal
pulse. However my body, which was not in need of the fluids, only
excreted them in a matter of moments. As my memory returned to me
and I lay in that hospital bed, I began recruiting Brenna and
Kristine. Zoning in on them in a meditative state, I used their
telepathy to my advantage. So far they have been working out
well.”
Adam turned and sauntered
over to the nearby couch. Taking a seat, he offered Elijah the
stiff white chair that sat opposite him.
