Hello all you Vamps fanatics! Miss me? It's Rob here with the third story in the Vampire Epic. Come on, did you really think that we would just leave it like that? NEVER!!! So, here it is, my solo story of the Vamp Tales, I now present to you, the Beryl Saga. GO ahead, read.. you know you want to!
"I now present to you the class of 1999!"
"No please!" A woman screamed.
"Where is he you bitch?" a man yelled.
"I.. I don't know, I swear!"
"You'll never get him! I won't let it happen! You can kill us all, but I won't let you take him!" Another woman yelled.
"Fine, have it your way! Kill them! Let him know we are coming for him!"
"I'm home! Sorry I stood out so late!" Beryl said entering his home, knowing his parents would be waiting up for him, "Hello?"
He walked in the living room and saw the remains of the massacre that had taken place.
"Oh my god!! HELP!!"
"As we now lay these five bodies to rest, we pray. We pray that whatever monster did this is brought to justice. May they rest in peace, amen!" the priest said as the 5 bodies were placed into the ground.
"Aah!" Beryl awoke with a jump.
The same nightmare that had been haunting him for the passed 3 months was driving him mad. ----------------------
Somewhere in Pennsylvania.
"How much longer till we get there James?" JC asked before heading to bed.
"Well, if we keep driving all night, we should be there by morning. Why? What's the hurry?" James asked still keeping his eyes on the road.
"I don't know, I just want to get there already. I mean, for one, New York is always fun to visit. And two, I'm excited about the Video Music Awards."
"Well, just get some sleep and we should be there by the time you wake up."
"Aight, good night."
JC walked back to his bunk where Lance was already sleeping. He climbed in and Lance said,
"Now what's the real reason you're so anxious to get to New York?"
"I dunno, I just have this feeling that we need to be there." JC said laying down next to his lover.
"Uh oh... duty calling?"
"I don't know, maybe."
"Oh well, I wouldn't mind some ass kicking. It's been awhile. Everything's been quiet."
"That's what I'm afraid of! And you, don't go getting excited! Enough has happened to you already!"
"You're never going to forget about that are you?"
"Lance, you were a fucking vampire god!"
"Not totally!"
"Close enough!"
"But that's over now baby, you have to get over it!"
"I know, I know!"
"Just get some sleep Josh."
"Alright, good night!" JC said giving his a kiss.
The next morning, as promised, they had arrived in New York for the MTV Video Music Awards. They had gotten there the morning of the 6th of September. The awards weren't until the 9th, giving them 3 days to roam the city and do as they pleased, but also attend some rehearsals. After that, they would stay for 2 more days and then go home.
"Man, I can't wait to get me some shopping done!" Justin said.
"I know, me too!" Chris agreed.
"Don't go planning the shopping spree just yet! We gotta check into the hotel first!" Lance reminded them.
"We know, we know!"
"I wanna check out some occult shops!" Justin said.
"Why? Ain't your book good enough?" Joey asked.
"I gotta pick up some supplies, that's all!"
"Well, make sure you're fully camouflaged! That's the last thing we need, `Justin Timberlake is a devil worshiper!'" JC said.
"I found a spell that can enable me to shape shift, like Joey!"
"Oh really? For how long?" Lance asked.
"A half-hour. I'll say it before I get there, then go in, and get out of there before time runs up."
"You better time it perfectly!" JC warned.
"Don't worry!"
"Guys, I have a weird feeling. Like something's gonna happen!"
"Uh oh!" the all said.
"Like what?" Joey asked.
"I don't know... I've just got this feeling. I've been having a dream about this guy."
"Uh oh! He's dreaming about other guys Lance, be careful!" Chris joked.
"I'm serious!"
"Well it's about time then, cause I was getting bored!" Justin said.
"Well, after what happened last time, I like being bored!" Joey said.
"Well, whatever it is, it'll have to wait until after we're checked in! Now let's go!" Lance said.
They went and checked into their hotel and met back in Justin's room.
"So, what are we doing tonight?" Joey asked.
"What club you wanna go to?" Chris asked.
"How bout we just wander around till we find one?" Justin suggested.
"Sounds good to me." JC said.
They spent the day doing various things and it wasn't till 8pm that they all met up to go out again.
"Y'all ready?" Justin asked.
"Yup, we were waitin for you!" Joey said.
"So let's go!" JC said.
They left the comfort of their hotel rooms and set out to the streets. Although they were heading out to have fun, they were prepared for anything that might happen. Lance brought his cutlass, which he concealed, under a long sleeved button down shirt. They weren't sure if New York had a big Vampire threat but they had learned to always be prepared whenever they went out anywhere. ----------------------------------
"Come on, let's get out of here." A man said.
"Where're we going?" a girl asked.
"You'll see, just follow me."
"Alright!"
He led her to a dark alley a little ways down from the Club.
"What are we doing here? She asked turning towards him, "AAAHHHHH!!!"
He grabbed her by the neck and bit down into her ferociously.
"Let her go!" A dark figure said standing at the entrance to the ally.
"Or what?" the man said.
"I'll kill you!"
"You? Kill me?"
"Don't let her go, and I'll kill you, let her go, and I'll still kill you! Either way, I'm gonna kill you!"
"Bring it on!" He said throwing the bloody corpse against the wall.
"How do you wanna die? Fast, or slow and painful?" The vampire laughed wickedly,
"I don't have time for this!" The still dark figure said pulling out a sword.
With one quick movement, he jumped in the air, did a flip, landed in front of the vampire and decapitated him. The Vamp turned to dust and the dark figure put his sword away and ran towards the dead girl and said,
"I'm too late!" -----------------------------
"Where the hell is this damn club Joey?!" Chris asked.
"I think it's over here!" Joey said turning the corner followed by the rest of the group.
"Hold on Joe!" JC said.
"What?"
"Did you hear that?"
"What?" they all asked.
"It sounded like a scream!"
"I think it came from over there!" Lance said.
"Hey Just? How bout a change of clothes?" JC asked.
"Usual black vamp slaying attire with the usual equipment?" Justin asked with excitement in his eyes.
"You know it!"
"Well, we can't do it out here like this, so let's head for that hallway over there!" Justin said pointing to an entrance to another alleyway.
They stepped in and within a couple of seconds a black mist filled the enclosed place, with it escaping from the entrance. JC exited followed by Lance with his sword exposed. Behind him was Chris followed by Joey and finally Justin.
They made their way towards where the scream came from. They entered the alley and saw a dark figure crouched over a body.
"Hate to interrupt your meal, wait, no I don't!" JC said.
The dark figure turned around to see five figures very much dressed the same as him. Not wanting to explain, he leaped up and grabbed a hold of the fire escape above him.
"I'll get him!" Chris said as he teleported up to the fire escape.
The mystery man had just climbed over the rail and saw Chris. A little disbelieved, but still trying to escape, he did a back flip off of the fire escape and landed back on the ground with ease. Chris teleported down behind him and the others closed in on him. The mystery man pulled something out from his pocket and threw it on the floor hard. Smoke filled the area. Before the smoke could clear, the man escaped through the sewer unbeknownst to the guys.
Justin brought his hands together and parted them causing the smoke to part with them.
"Where'd he go?" Justin asked in disbelief.
"I dunno, but we gotta find him!" Lance said.
"First we gotta check on that girl over there!" JC said.
They ran over to the corpse and found that a good portion of her neck had been bitten off.
"Whoa! That dude was hungry!" Chris said.
"I don't think it was him." JC said.
"What do you mean? We caught him red handed!" Joey said.
"If so, then how come he didn't have his vampire face on?"
"Good point!" Lance said.
"And he had weapons. Why would a vamp carry weapons? I mean a regular vamp that is."
"True." Justin said.
"Then why did he run from us?" Chris asked.
"Think about it! If you saw five guys cutting off your exit and who obviously thought you did this, do you think you would stay around and try and proclaim your innocence? Or would you just get the hell out of here?" Lance said.
"Well, I say we do the same! We wouldn't want to get caught here!" Justin said.
"Chris get us back to that place where we changed." JC said.
"Alright, everybody grab hands then." Chris said as he took Justin's hand.
They teleported out of there just as a group of teenagers were about to go back there and start drinking.
"Dude! What the fuck!" one of them screamed noticing the dead girl.
When the guys passed the alley from the outside, there was a crowd blocking the entrance, and a cop had just arrived. The guys just walked by and Justin asked,
"So what are we going to do?"
"I think we should look for that guy." Lance said.
"Me too!" JC agreed.
"But where do we look?" Joey asked.
"I say we split up and circle the area." Chris suggested.
"We might not have to." JC said.
"Why not?" Joey asked.
"Cause, there he is over there heading out of the subway!"
"Let's get him then!" Chris said.
"Not so fast! We don't want him to run off again!" JC said. "Chris, you turn invisible and teleport over there. I want you to grab him and take him back to that hall we just came out of. We'll run over there now."
"I can transport us there!" Justin said.
"No, we don't want the mist to draw attention." Lance said.
"Yeah, come on, let's do it! I'll let you know when we get there." JC said.
The guys ran towards the ally where they had changed. Chris looked around and made sure no one was watching him. To be safe, he walked up a stoop of a building, went inside the lobby, turned invisible and teleported in front of the train station. He snuck up behind the guy, covered his mouth, grabbed him and turned him invisible. He got the signal from JC and he teleported to the meeting place. Chris became visible and the guy was struggling to get free. Justin froze him long enough for the guys to find stuff to tie him down with. Justin unfroze him and the guy yelled,
"Let me go now!"
"Calm down man, we just wanna talk to you!" Lance said.
"I didn't kill her!"
"We know. We just wanna know why you were there!" JC said.
"Let me go and I'll tell you!"
"Only if you promise not to pull a disappearing act on us!" Justin said.
"Alright! Just let me go!"
"Joey, untie him!" JC said.
"I'll do it!" Justin said, as he waved his hand and the ropes disappeared, "I suppose you wanna know how I did that?"
"No, I already know."
"Huh?" they all said.
"Who are you?"
