"No sunlight?"
"No." Julias grimaced with the word.
"Oh god... so that's... that's why I can't ever see my family again? My friends?" Jack fell to the couch with his elbows on his knees and leaned forward. He kept looking around, desperate for something to focus his mind on.
"Partially, but also... that pain in your gut. That's the blood lust, Jack."
"Blood. I have to drink blood. Fucking god I'm Dracula."
"Don't say that around the Prince if you want to keep your head... which losing will also kill you, by the way. But beyond that, you're not going to die. Bullet to the head won't even do it."
"Oh, that's actually pretty—wait, Prince?"
"Yes, Prince, a... you'll see. I wanted to turn you because you're my friend... but also because I need an ally, Jack." Julias came over to sit down next to Jack, bloody suit and all. The couch was likely ruined, but Jack figured Julias had enough money to ignore it. Or that the situation made it not worthy of note.
"So we're not just two blood suckers enjoying eternity, are we?" Jack said.
"No. There are others. I figure there's over three hundred Kindred here in Dolareido. And there's a structure to it."
Holy shit. Three hundred other vampires in the city, with their own structure? Were they all like Julias, with mobster painted on their forehead?
"How come I've never heard of this... any of this."
"Rule number one, is to preserve the Masquerade. If you tell people about vampires, the sheriff will leave you out for sunrise. You have to do everything you can to make sure people don't realize what you are. As my new childe, you're my responsibility, and I will help you as much as you need."
"Masquerade. Masquerade, got it. I... think I got it. Rules... so there's more than one rule." Jack turned his head from within his palms to catch Julias in the corner of his eye.
"I know that this all got dumped on you without warning, but it's not all bad." Julias got up and started to take off his jacket. "You're immortal."
"I... I guess."
"I have to shower, then I'll show you the clothes I've prepared for you." He winced. "Then we're going to meet Viktor."
"Viktor?"
"My sire."

Marklynda28 months agoNo choice, but a friend in need is a friend indeed. A great start to what promises to be a well thought out and written story. I look forward to reading the next chapter. As this is my first foray into your writing and the first story you posted here I have added you to my favorites list. I appreciate your and your Muse's imagination and abilities to bring it to your story. Thank you for sharing your vision and talents.
JOVA8212 months agoWell... This was suggested to me, as it apparently hit's some of my preferences.
So far I disagree, in fact I dislike.
But I have seen few stories that take 6-12 pages to get me hooked, and turn out to be really good so I'm going to give it a chance.
Is_this_thing_onover 1 year agoIntriguing so far. I look forward to seeing how the story develops. 😁
Levindlover 1 year agoIt is sad to see people writing such negativity after only the first chapter in a story with over 150 chapters in it. The fact that they are analyzing Julian to such an extent when the character has just been introduced and we know almost nothing about him is ridiculous. The same could be said about Jack, who has just been introduced into all worlds that he knew nothing about outside of mythology, and is freaking out from match. If I was in that situation, I would be freaking out also!
Give the author a break for god sake! Give the story a chance to develop before, going into long tirades of analyzation, as if you’ve read the entire book of war and peace. If you have a problem with vampire stories, then shut the hell up and move on to a different genre. Personally, I enjoy the way that this story has started and I’m looking forward to what comes next.
I know that this is years after the story was written and finished, but I had to put in my humble two cents. Thank you for taking such time and effort into writing not only is this story, but I have completed another epic story that you have written and enjoyed Completely.
Sincerely,
Daniel
P S. If you notice, I don’t write negative things, and then hide behind anonymity, but will put my name to anything that I write in the comment section.
