Preview of vampiric story and my new reef tank...
BLOOD TIES
PROLOUGE
“Wait! Stop! Somebody please tell me how the fuck
that I find myself halfway in the air leaping over a table full of crazed porn
industry fans waiving crosses, wooden stakes and trying to throw Holy Water at
me?” These thoughts passed through my
mind even as I batted a thrown stake out of the way.
“Oh, I know why! It was my cousin’s fault; second cousin
actually,” my head screamed as I finished my flip and fell towards the oncoming
surface.
The fact that I was head over heels
in love with him added to ‘issue’ that we both had the same great grandparents made
it kind of weird, although the stunning bastard now was probably really
freaking out after finding out after that nut job bitch revealing the fact that
he and I were related. I’d… Oh hell, we’d kept that quiet with the exception of
a few people after finding that out via email.
And now? Now, when all hell broke loose, thanks to
that bitch that he performed with in porn films? Oh, and just not any porn films, but fucking
straight porn films! Oh yeah!
“He’s a confused straight boy! You seduced him! You must have used drugs!” All those lines
had been thrown at me earlier that day by that twat before she stormed off backstage
from an earlier shoot.
“PLEASE!” I wanted to yell. “He
fucking downs Cialis like their kids’ chewable vitamins just to get it up with
you!” I kept my mouth shut though. I
wasn’t going to give this psycho any opportunity to try and confirm anything.
I sighed inwardly as I dropped to
the long table top. I got my balance and
rolled my eyes as I found myself staring at a man with wide pupils full of fear
waiving a cross in my face. I turned and
caught Sean’s full on panicking face.
Looking back around me, I was well aware that things were ‘not in the
closet anymore’.
“BE GONE YE DEMON!” the pudgy, porn
addicted, potato shaped man holding a picture of one of Sean’s female co-stars,
wheezed at me while his hand shook holding the silver icon. I batted it away with a slight sting as it
touched my hand. And before you think it
was a ‘silver allergy’, I’m here to tell you it’s not. I caught the edge of the thing when I knocked
it away.
“OH PLEASE!” I yelled loudly
grabbing his and the others attention while ripping my shirt open and yanking
out my own cross made of platinum. “I’M
FUCKING CATHOLIC! I GO TO MASS EVERY FEW
SUNDAYS! AND WHO THE FUCK SAYS ‘YE’ IN 2012?”
That caught their attention as a large garlic bulb landed beside
me. The overall din in the room settled
some as the focused their astonishment on the fact that I was holding a small
cross between my two fingers. Holy Water
splashed on me and I wiped it away.
“JESUS CHRIST! WHAT THE HELL IS
THIS? A WATER SPORTS PARTY?”
The fat man who had brandished the
cross sputtered, “YO-U-U-U-U’RE CATHOLIC?”
“YES!” sighed heavily while
watching the continued surprised expression on my cousin. “Wait,” I thought, “Didn’t I tell him I was
Catholic?” That little tidbit seemed to
etch more “WTF?” on his face and not helping the fact that he’d been ‘outed’ or
that I’d just been ‘outed’ as a vampire.
Ok, he knew that part, not that we were related or I guess, Catholic,
was well.
All done by that fucking snatch over
in the corner, who initiated all this chaos against me, because she was in love
with Sean. Another bulb of garlic landed
in front of me. I grabbed it and chucked
it back at the prick who’d thrown it; nailing him squarely in the forehead
where I had intended. “WILL YOU STOP
THROWING THAT SHIT!? I DON’T HAVE A FEAR OF GARLIC!”
More murmuring spilled through the
crowd. The man stood up from being
nailed with the garlic rubbing his forehead, “Garlic doesn’t bother you
either?”
I sat down on the table and crossed
my legs with a loud ‘harrumph’.
“No, it doesn’t,” I sighed looking
up at the forlorn Sean. I’m not sure
what the hell he was thinking but Rory, his manager, was a cross between fuming
red and purple and white. It didn’t make
the middle aged cigar smoker look well.
I was afraid we’d have to call an ambulance soon.
Here I sat on the table in front of
Sean with him just staring down at me. I
felt about three inches tall and that’s saying something since he towers over
me by nearly a foot. “How the hell did
this happen?” when I really knew how it had.
I sat there wondering how this
would play out with Sean, Rory, me and the people around me. Not to mention the fact that people will now
know we exist.
All of this started a few minutes
earlier in the middle of his press conference where ‘Steven Case – straight
male porn star’ had just been taking a phone call question. It was Kathy (his co-star) on her cell
phone. She’d arranged it after getting
‘Sean aka: Steven’ a “NO” answer about marrying her. She was using the fact that he was ‘In the
closet’ to everyone to make him marry her.
The video and then the yelling and
screaming; and that was just Kathy. The
worse thing though wasn’t hearing her reveal that I was a vamp, ““HE’S A REAL
VAMPIRE!” No, what was worst was when
she screamed at the top of her lungs, “THAT’S NOT ALL,” she screamed, “THAT MAN
WHOSE COCK IS IN HIS MOUTH IS HIS COUSIN!”
As I sat there in my own morass, I heard a
chair rub hard across the floor as it scooted back. “Ladies and Gentlemen…” It was Sean’s voice. I sat there with tears in my eyes wondering
what the fuck he was going to say.
