Jacobi Recruits

I knew it was a mistake the moment it was over. I should have never turned this girl into a vampire.

She came out of nowhere as I was walking out of the woods into a clearing, "Jacobi! Do you know who I am?"

I was surprised that a human, a young human girl of about 16, could sneak up on a vampire. "No I don't, but you know my name and so you must know what I am."

Her smile was wicked. I saw then what she was and still is, a young vampire hunter. "My name is Judi and I do know what you are. You are a cannibal, a leach, a soul stealer. My family was killed by your kind when I was 12. I was adopted by a hunter and trained for a year until I ran off to kill things like you on my own. I've been killing things like you for the past 4 years. I've never killed one so young, but it should be fairly easy. I've come to show you the light."

I couldn't help but chuckle, "The light you say? Do you mean that figuratively or literally?"

"I intend on showing you the sunrise one last time. I'll even give you a chance to give up peacefully since you've killed so many of your own kind. "

"Then why not just let me live and go about my own way? or better yet join me in my silly little quest to destroy all evil."

"I've heard about vampires like you Jacobi, but the thing is over time you all lose emotion and the evil in you wins. So I think it's best if I just end your life now, it's the right thing to do. Save us some bloodshed Jacobi and just give up."

"ha-ha, so do you expect me to just sit with you and watch the sun come over the horizon? Do I even get a kiss?"

"You're a cute little boy, but I don't kiss dead things. What are you like 11 little vampire boy? Is it a deal, or should we just cut the bullshit and get to the fighting?"

"I died when I was 12 and maybe you should have stayed with your trainers longer cause I....ugh" I never even saw it coming. a rapid fire cross bow. I had 5 stakes in my chest before I could even blink. Nailed to a tree and Bleeding badly I realized that I had underestimated this little girl, but then again she didn't truly now what I was capable of either. "GO...Away..Girl"

She looked shocked that I could still talk to her, "You are a strong one Jacobi , Even with a stake in the heart you still fight?"

"Go...Away"

I could see the fear creep into her body as she started to realize I wasn't like the other vampires she has killed in the past. "The sun will be up soon and this will all be over. I don't know how you are still alive with a stake in your heart, but no vampire can survive the sunlight."

"Go!" I say as a final warning.

"No" she whispered.

.1 seconds: I think at this point she knew she was in over her head, but it was too late I was hungry and angry.
.2 seconds I ripped the stakes out of my body.
.4 seconds I close the distance between us
.5 my teeth sink into her neck.

I drain her blood. I should have thought more about what I was about to do. I bite my wrist and she instinctively drank from me.

I knew it was a mistake the moment it was over. I should have never turned this girl into a vampire.

After The Fall

Gallegos an ancient vampire turned in his mid 20's and Gies a fledgling vampire peer over the edge of the cliff into the darkness.

Gies lacking emotion like most vampires who have recently passed their natural life span looks to his superior and asks, "Gallegos? Do you think he could have survived?"

Gallegos responds lips barely even moving with an almost telepathic voice, "The boy couldn't have survived such a fall. I've personally tossed much older and stronger vampires over this very cliff and not one has ever returned. We are a vengeful race. If any of my victims would have survived I would know. Besides he was turned merely hours ago. Jacobi and the she-dog that chased him over the edge are unquestionably dead."

"Gallegos, why do you think he ran?"

"Love"

"Love?"

"He found out that we were going to use his little girlfriend as a pet as soon as her wolf blood matured. You do remember love don't you Gies?"

"Like a Dream"

Gallegos and Gies turn and walk away from the rising sun and back into the safe depths of vampire made catacombs inside the Mountains.

"Gallegos, I've been told that you have been inquiring about my life origins."

"And?"

"Sir you do know that there is a law against trying to find out if fellow vampires were born on Earth or in the afterlife. Some are Jealous of the Earth born, because they lived and died on earth only to be reborn in this world. We have enough problems with vampires like you who were born of two vampire parents who believe themselves to be of better-quality than the rest of us."

"Your point?"

"I might not live very long if it became common knowledge that I, Gies, am Earth born and a former human." Just saying the word is starting to leave a bad taste in Gies's mouth. "Don't you trust me Gallegos?"

"I do remember many years ago, you tried to retaliate once you learned that we intended to turn your lover over to the moon beast to punish you for taking a human for a wife.”

"I was naive, and still full of emotion."

"Human emotion, but soon your superior vampire emotions will consume you. When this happens I do hope that none of those silly human emotions about your family creep back into your soul, or I will exterminate you."

"She is nothing more than a memory."

"And what about seeing your son Jacobi jump over a Cliff?"

"Nothing."

Jacobi - Birth of a Hunter

“My name is Jacobi a human” I repeat in my head over and over as I stand at the edge of the cliff on the night of a full moon. I am a human boy no matter what those bastard vampires did to me.


As far as I can remember I was stolen from my earth born parents at around 5 years old; based off the fact that most of the kids coming in to the training camps are around 5 years of age. These damn vamps use us little ones as assassins, mostly because if we are turned before puberty our bodies are kind of like unusually indestructible sponges. You’d think we would be easy to kill as weak as kid vamps are. Just the opposite, we are extremely hard to dispose of. The afterlife is nothing like the stories of earth my parents told me of as a child.

Ugh! I don’t have time to dwell on the past. They are getting closer to me every second, I just need to jump! Their werewolf slaves have my scent, and I’m sure they can taste my blood…or what little blood of mine is left in me. I’m sure that if their masters didn’t keep them on a lease they would have been at my throat by now. I have to jump now into the dark abyss, but I can’t! I’m not suicidal. Can the walking dead even commit suicide? I’ll surly die. Seeing as I’ve only been part of the dead society for what…5 to 10 minutes???

The moon hounds are here… …their speed is uncanny… my end is near. I hear their masters release their chokers. Damn those howling beast! I feel the breath of one on my neck and …

The vampires watched as Jacobi closed his eyes, took a deep breath, and jumped.

As I fall everything slows down. Why now??? Why right before I die my vampire powers kick in while I fall to my death in slow motion. I can’t even see the ground from this height. How high am I? The air is so cold it burns my skin as I fall. I can’t breath. My chest is ablaze with pain.

I see a dark figure falling towards me, I think it’s one of those howling beast. Dumb mutt must have jumped after me while in a complete blood lust. Damn, I bet I’ll be crushed by the stinking beast.

Oh my what an angry creature it is! Inches away from my face snapping like a turtle! Ha! How can I be in such a jolly mood? Insanity must be creeping into my soul. “soul?”

This has to be the longest 10 seconds of my life, I notice the pink tuff of hair on it's back. The mark of a female wolf,”kiss me you ugly beast!!” I yelled as I rushed to my death. And oh did she try! So I bite the bad dog with lighting speed upon her neck,”AHHH” now this is pure ecstasy.

I felt strength surge though my newly turned body and just as quick as I got my strength back I felt the earth come in contact with my back and the werewolf's weight crush me further into the earth. PAIN? oh no, there was no pain. Even as my body nearly exploded. I still could only think of the exquisite blood of this beast! I can’t think of a better way to die.

Die? Seconds pass, hours for me. The beast whose fall I broke crawls away from me and I mock her,” Hey little pup don’t go too far I’m still a little thirsty!” she doesn't get maybe 5 feet and he stops dead. Not more than 30 seconds later I see a girl about my age in place of the beast I hated so. "Nooooo... Not you....Susan!?"

Now I feel the pain coursing though every fiber. The pain can only be described as supernatural. I’m so broken inside and out that I can’t even move a muscle. My mind falters as I notice that I’m looking at my back.

Wait…even though my neck is at a 180 degree angle… “I can talk?”…Will I survive this? An unlucky bug crawls across my mouth and I chew it and swallow it whole. Oh yes I will survive this.

Soon I’ll set out to kill every damn creature of the night, “good or bad”

Without Susan nothing matters.
