May sat across from Kevin at the table, he was out earlier catching is own food, rats he told her. Now she sat holding a cup of coffee and he was empty handed. “Tell me something Kevin,” May started. “You and the rest of the guys are unlike any vampires I ever read or heard about, except for the drinking blood, is there a reason?”

Kevin chuckled to himself. “They say the Creator made us all to be special in our own way.” He laughed. “Well what you’ve heard about killing us and sunlight killing us are true, but we are one of the few clans with our Creator still alive. Many of the other Creator’s were killed during power struggles but ours, well she’s special and chooses her companions carefully and then throws them into the world knowing that we have her full support.”

He hung his head, “This past year was the first time she came out of her castle to be with the clan and only a few trusted vampires know it’s location. Brian being one of them. That’s why we took a chance using April the way we, the way I did.”

May waited some time before she spoke “So how come you seem to care? I mean you have, feelings, it’s something I’ve noticed the others didn’t seem to have too much of.”

“Like I said, the Creator made us all different.”

“Kevin?” April’s voice interrupted the conversation. “I want to find my son. I need to do something, not sit around here any longer.”

Kevin stood and helped April back into her room. “You need to rest, we’ll start tomorrow.” Kevin followed April in the room, intent on talking to her about the last year and before.

May finished off her coffee and went into her room; she got ready for bed and climbed in turning off her table lamp. She lay awake staring at the ceiling, she couldn’t sleep, and thoughts of Brian flooded into her head. The lack of Brian dominating her dreams in the last year took their toll and made sleep almost impossible.

She couldn’t take it any longer; May threw back the covers and pulled on some jeans and another shirt. She listened at her door and heard hushed conversation coming from her sister’s room. She quietly grabbed a few things and made her way out of the apartment without making any noise above a rustle or swish of fabric.

April sat on her bed; Kevin leaned against her dresser not wanting to get closer especially if he was not welcome.

“Why?” April asked, “Why did you pretend if you weren’t really gone?”

“I told you, I thought you were better off without me.” Kevin couldn’t help it he had to be closer to her. “It didn’t mean I didn’t care for you, I watched you from time to time, saw that you had your… our son.”

“So you got to see me, know how I was doing but I had to mourn.” April stood quickly off the bed leaving Kevin sitting. She stood next to her window; arms crossed looking out into the moonlight.

“April, I am sorry.” Again he stood and moved towards her wrapping his arms around her and pulling her close. “Hate me all you want, but I will help you find your son.”

April glanced upwards into Kevin’s eyes and she knew she could never hate him, “Our son.” She whispered and hugged him tight.

May stood in the alley outside the restaurant hoping that she could get into the door and find her way back to the room Brian was locked inside. She took a deep breath and walked towards the door pushing. She gasped with relief when the door opened; she quickly made her way inside and started walking.

She couldn’t help but shake with fear, she was putting herself back into danger, but she could no longer be without the dreams. She needed Brian’s face in her mind nightly, she needed the feeling he gave her in those dreams. She didn’t care if he returned the feelings so long as she was permitted the dreams.

She managed to find the door and open it, “Brian,” She whispered into the room half afraid of what would happen next.

“May?” Brian stood and moved towards the sliver of light in the room.

May came in and stood head down in front of Brian, “I can’t live without you,” she stuttered meekly.

Brian smirked, a side effect of controlling some ones dreams, they became addicted to them much like they would drugs. “You have come to set me free?”

May nodded and got the key she managed to take from Kevin’s coat pocket on the way out the door. She unlocked all the chains, lastly unlocking the one around his hands.

Brian stretched with relief then moved towards May so quickly she didn’t know what happened. He grabbed her neck with his hands and held her firmly. He could smell her blood and it smelled sweet to him, he knew he should not bite her, she was for the Creator, but the smell was overpowering. He moved her head to the side exposing her neck; he licked the length of her neck stopping himself before he bit into her soft flesh.

“I must find,” He stopped and tore from the room with lightening quickness. May ran after him trying to keep up.

“Wait for me,” She called after him. She made it out onto the street in time to see a body slump to the ground lifeless, Brian licking his lips and wiping his mouth on his sleeve.

When he turned towards her she shrunk away afraid that the body on the ground was soon to be her fate. Brian grabbed May’s arm and started pulling her away from the alley.

“We must find shelter, I need to meditate, I have been without contact with the Creator for far too long, I am sure she will be glad to know her most faithful servant is still hers to command.”
