the Vampire Identity Journey to California

Chapter 10

    “So, this has been getting on my mind for a while since we were walking to the house who has the family you are protecting from their own enemies. What happened to your maker KC.” Tom asked?

“Hmm, that’s a good question Tom even I don’t even know, all I do know, was that, he took off after he was done turning me, so I don’t know what had happened to him, or for that matter. where he is, or what’s he’s been doing for these many years.” I replied, and still don’t know what had happened with my maker, I do know that vampires like to be on their own, unless they have mates and children, but usually never be in a group.

          “Can’t you sense him, feel him, anything? You might be able to know where he would be if you could try. I know I did with my old maker before I meet you, just to see and know where she might be, then I left it with that, now I couldn’t.” he replied to me while suggested and helping me. which it was very thoughtful of him; so, I thought about it for a moment, or two, or three, then came to found out, I really haven’t done that, then I looked back to Tom with a surprise on my face. “I never thought about that, probably because I’ve been trying to survive and trying to understand my new life, where I never got a chance to find him, or what he has been doing for all these years.” I replied.

          “maybe you should try it now, it never hurts to try, right?” he said with another suggestion for me, with my expectation, he’s trying to help me out and, it’s working.

“OK, I’ll give it a shot now.” I replied.

I paused from where I stand than put the little fawn on the ground straighten myself back up, then closed my eyes and tried to concentrate, but the only thing I could feel was the wind, Tom, and the Fawn; who happens to be standing next to me, watching me the whole time, and yet the more I tried, I still get nothing. hmm maybe I’m not strong enough or I’m doing it all wrong. but the more I kept trying, I just get the same results. -I must not be doing this right; or something.

          “hmm I don’t feel anything except you, the Fawn, and the earth all around me, but nothing on my maker.” I told him when I opened my eyes again, then looked up at him. I really don’t know what I should be feeling about this, I hope Tom might have a good answer?

“hmm. maybe your both too far away from each other or something.” Tom suggested.

“or something.” I replied agreeing what Tom had said.

          Decided not to pick up Cel Mic, (and yes that’s what I’m calling her, yup it’s a girl) so she could run around like a child that she is, but she always stayed closed to me so she wouldn’t lose her protector, or doesn’t want to be out of her site, I know she’ll be hungry soon.

“Oh, speaking of Makers. what was your old Maker’s name and where is she now?” I asked him in wonder.

Tom thought about it for a minute or two, then said; “well. it took me about several months later for me to find someone who was like me, to tell me about who my old maker was, then I finally found out from one of the other Vampires what her name was, her name was Savannah, and the last time I check on her, with our link, was somewhere in Canada, but which one I didn’t get a chance to find out, she closed our link, where I knew right there she didn’t want to be disturbed or something, so I never tried to find her again. so, would you be showing me how to cast some spells like you did last time.” Tom asked and while reminded me.

Tom was really excited to see if he could think of a spell, heck try one would be a better word to say; I don’t know what to think of him; Tom was acting more like a child instead of a one hundred vampire when it comes of looking for something fun to do, or wanting to destroy something without his mommy to know, then gets someone else in trouble instead of himself, even though he was the one who really done the bad deed. 

“oh, sorry, I must have almost forgot about that, but man if only you could hear yourself, because you do sound like a child wanting to get your hands dirty without your mother or father to know about it, then if you did something bad; you would blame it on whoever was with you.” I said, smiling to him in an apology.

“I could relate to that, you don’t know where, or what happened to your maker, and you’ve been watching out for that baby fawn there, (then Tom started chuckling)  and yes, I know I sounded like a child, when it comes to something that’s new to me, I just what to try it want it, or even see if it would break, and yes again I would indeed blame all of it to anyone who was with me, rather if it was my brother, sister, or our pets that we had.” Tom Comment.

          I nodded in agreement. “Cel Mic, I’m calling it Cel Mic, and the fawn is a female, and if I found a place for my own and you start doing that to my own stuff, I would know if you did it or not. so don’t you dare destroy my home, or I would do something so bad, so terrifying to you, where you would wish, you had never done the deed in the first

place. got it.” I told and warned him

“Yes, ma’am I promise. Cel Mic. meaning little one from Romania, right?” he asked me wondering.

“yes actually. wow, how many language do you know anyways?” I asked him with curiosity.

“well I was born here from in nineteen-ninety-three, then I was turned a year ago, in twenty-sixteen, but before I was turned, I went to online colleges to learn: Romania, Spanish, Chinese, French, German, Irish, Latin, and yes I past all my classes.” He replied with a wolfish smile.

          “nice, same here except Chinese, may someday you could teach me?” I replied, that would be cool to learn some of the different language that I haven’t learned yet. hey, you never know if Father Lord would want to give me another assignment like this again, but in another country where I would have to speak their own language and their culture, so I’m glad Tom agreed to teach me, it makes me proud of my Prodigy.   

          “I would like that; now back to casting some spells.” He suggested.

“oh, right. um.” looking around us to find something that may look like an easy spell to use for both Tom and myself, and the only one I could think of to use was a wild sleeping flower, so I pointed the sleeping flower to Tom.

     “let’s try that sleeping flower over there about a few feet away from us.” I suggested to him.

Tom gave a might- work-. and, easy- thing- to- do, look, when he saw the same flower that I pointed, but if Tom would think of a spell was the question, and if he would need my help or not would be up to him if he would ask me.

“that might. let’s give it a try. Ladies first, my new sire.” He said with a sheepishly grinned. I laughed to him, Tom just had to say that, but it was true I am indeed his Sire; so.

“That’s right, and don’t you forget it.” I laughed and smiled at the same time; Tom smiled with a chuckle along with my enthusiasm.

Yup it really has been a long time since I smiled and laughed, and I like it, but I know I can’t be like this while I’m working, and yes, from the whole time I was with Tom, I’m been keeping a look out and sensing everything around me, to make sure no one would be heading to Mr. McKnight’s home to hurt him or his family.

          I looked at the sleeping flower, then took a deep calming breath, to let go everything that had happened to me, and said the flower spell in Latin.

(ego flos est coram me, divini fructus aperi, ut videamus speciem tuam per noctem). In English, it meant (flower which I seek that is in my sight, please open your petals, so I may gaze upon your beauty tonight).

          The flower slowly opened its petals to show its beauty, and what a beauty it was: a mountain Iris, Iris Douglasiana with the colors of blue, pink, and yellow. “Beautiful Flower.” I said to Tom.

Tomson nodded while was still looking at the Iris Douglasiana “yes, it is. that was pretty good KC.” He agreed while complimented to me.

“now Tom, it’s your turn, see if you could put it back to sleep.” I ordered him.

Tom somehow got all nervous, he even looked like he might not be able to think of a spell to put the flower back to sleep or not; at the same time Cel Mic decided to go up to the Iris Douglasiana flower to sniff it, then started playfully jumped around the flower, like she was in joying with the scent from the wild flower or something. then stopped to sniffed it again. I started to laugh while I was watching her, she’s one silly Fawn; Tom smiled to the fawn, he even shook his head, while he was also watching her, then said his own spell, also in Latin, to put the flower back to sleep.

(Teque flos nocte somno pressis dicere nunc tempus). In English, it meant: (I thank you flower on this night, but now it’s time for me to say sleep tight).

          By the time, we three walked way, the Iris’s petals closed and went back to sleep till the sun comes up.

“I was worried and even concern you might of having trouble to say the spell or your just. I don’t know. didn’t want too, or something, but you did a good job and as your maker. I’m proud of you.” Saying this to him in appreciation.

          “Yes. sorry about that and thank you KC, I’m glad I have you as my teacher as well as my new maker.” Tom assured me.

          I did a smile to Tom, we walked few miles back the other way to get to McKnight’s house, Obviously to spend more time together, though he’s still not my mate, but my prodigy, and I do have to teach him everything I know for him to survive, but even I’m at a lost too, so I’m still learning as I go and helping Tom as much as I can as being a Vampire Identity; when I looked down to see how Cel Mic was doing, and notice she wasn’t there, I looked behind me and saw her walking slowly.

          I went back to get her at the same time she stopped walking when she saw me coming up to her, I used my senses to see if she was OK. nothing wrong except hungry and tired. “Come here Cel Mic.” Then picked her up like a baby, Tom must have stopped when he notices I wasn’t walking with him, the decided to wait for me from where he stood, while watching me picking up the fawn and putting her in my arms.

“stratum.” (blanket in Latin) then wrapped the baby blanket around Cel Mic to keep her warm.

“Ipsum.” (bottle in Latin) with warm mother deer milk inside, brought the bottle to the fawn, and fed her.

“hmmm (smiling sweetly to me while watching me feeding Cel Mic) Poor Cel Mic, getting all tuckered out, glad she has you, or she wouldn’t last the whole night, or for that matter the whole next day.”

          “yeah, since now that she’s all alone with no mother to feed her anymore, but I know I can’t keep her.” I admitted to him.

“oh. why not, looks to me, she’s taking the liking to you, why can’t you keep her.” Tom wonder with amusement concern mixed together while at the same time crossed his arms over his chest; from the whole time, I’ve been walking with him and taking care of this fawn, I just now notice he had been wearing a different kind of clothing tonight, this time he’s wearing black turtle neck sweater and black jean pants.

          “You should already know why Tom. I have work to take care of, families to save from the daughter’s enemies, not feeding, protecting, and taking care of orphan babies from the wild, that’s the wild animal center’s job, So, I’m just taking her with me all the way to McKnight’s home, and to see if they could and would be willing to take care of her like any human would, but if they don’t know how, or if they’re too busy with their work, where they couldn’t, all they had to do is call the wild animal center and have them take care of her till it’s that time for her to be back into the wild, and be free with her own kind.” I replied with worried.

“Ha, just wait, when it’s that time for you to go to your next mission here in CA, this little fawn here would want to go with you no matter what.” Tom promised his new maker, and he knows he’s telling her the truth, rather she likes to hear it or not. The whole-time Tom confronted KC about the fawn, he titled his head back at the same time he gave that on laugh saying he doesn’t believe it for a second, then pointed his forefinger to the fawn as he explained what the fawn might do once KC leaves to her next family to save.

          I thought about everything Tom had said to me, and I have a miserable upset feeling where he might be right with Cel Mic, so if it does happen where she wants me to take care of her and no one else than I’ll find a way to make it work for her, till then only one way to find out when that time comes.

“I’m right, aren’t I.” Tom confronted with a smirk of a smile, and his right black eye brow moved up from on his face.

I shook my head with my own smirk on my face, then looked up at him. -you’re just being a smart aleck aren’t you- I said telepathically to him

.-hmm (he shrugged his shoulders) I tried- with a smile shook my head again with a smile and a laughed -if I didn’t want you to help ma save every human life on this planet, and being so nice; I would’ve killed you; days ago, -. I warned with a joke of a smile to him.

-then I’m glad you didn’t kill me-. He said while looking so innocent from on his face.

I couldn’t help it. I laughed.

“finally, I see some sense of humor from out of you, since the day I meet you, you were all business and no laughter, not even fun coming from you.” Still smiling as he said this to me.

          “I’ve been having a rough day, week, month, all of it since that night I was turned, questions I never got a chance to asked my maker, or what I needed to know with my new life, and everything else, that you and I could think of.” I replied while informing him everything that had been happened to me before and after I meet him.

(and yes, the fawn is asleep in my arms the whole time, Tom and I were talking and her bottle is indeed empty and out of the way).

*****        

We’re about few miles away from the house where the McKnight family lives, when both Tom and I heard someone snapped a twig from in the woods about a half a mile away from us. remember we

have good hearing then Ordinary humans. I scanned the woods to see who could it be, and felt Tom was doing the same thing with me, I know what’s gone a happened before Tom did, but like before I turned him, Tom also knows what’s gone a go down.

-might as well get this over with, I have a bad feeling where he’s not gone a leave me alone Tom- I suggested with Tom.

-I agreed, let’s pretend we didn’t heard anything; then let him get the first move- Tom conformed me.

-would you be able to take him, I hope you know what you’re doing, when he does- I warned him.

-yes, thanks to you, I’m stronger than I last was, so I’m sure I’ll take him-. He replied telepathically.

          We started walking again, just as he had planned, Leo followed beside us from in the woods, Cel Mic, lucky her. was still sleeping, didn’t know there was danger coming towards us. The way I’m guesting, Leo’s trying to find the right time and moment to get at us, I just don’t know when that would be, I really wouldn’t want the McKnight family to get involved in this; they already have their own enemies they have to worried about, they really don’t want this to be added into their life. I would have to find a way to read of Leo before I head back to the McKnight’s home.

          When we were only two miles away from the McKnight’s house, Leo charged onto Tom, where both landed on the ground about few feet away from me and Cel Mic. Cel Mic woke up from my screaming, then felt the danger, and started to wiggle out of the blanket and tried to get out of my arms.

“easy girl easy. just hold on.” I helped her out of the blanket then set her down; Cel Mic didn’t leaved though, my guest she didn’t want to leave her only protector.

“Cel Mic, I want you to go and hid in the bushes in the woods, don’t worry I’ll find you once the danger has past, I promise, now go, go Cel Mic.”

*****                  

Cel Mic followed her protector advised, and ran into the woods to hid, she found the bushes which happens to be the nearest and the closes

to the woods and the outside of the woods, so Cel Mic went under the bushes and stayed put without making any sounds, till her only protector could come to find her, and KC would hate it, but Tom was right; Cel Mic = Little one, has indeed taking the liking to her new protector, and had already thought of her as her new mother.

Tom and Leo had been at it for more than thirty minutes, punching here, scratching there, rolling around the ground where the one or the other was on top of the other still attacking each other, Tom’s fighting Leo to protect his new Maker, while Leo’s fighting Tom to show KC who’s stronger to have her, while KC just stood there watching the fight; She’s been yelling at Tom to let her help telepathically, but he wouldn’t hear of it. KC knows Tom’s only a year old for a vampire but only several hours old for an Identity Vampire, while Leo was above that age, and still they went at it. Back and forth they rolled over and over, making their own score of trying to kill each other. until.

“AH.” Tom screamed and growled when Leo finally decided to bite Tom between his shoulder and throat where his vein was at.

“TOM!” I shouted.

Leo Snapped when he heard her shout out this Fledgling name.  Growled from in his mind. -How dare she called even shout out to this weak of a vampire like him, well then, I would have no choice but to kill him, then I’ll deal with her when I’m done- bend his head to Tom’s shoulder again to finished the job. to kill him, but.

“NO.” I shouted out again, then ran and jumped onto Leo to get him off of Tom, by grabbing Leo’s clothes, which I didn’t care what he was wearing and threw him away from Tom. Leo landed on his feet after he did the wheel in the air, then slowly stand facing only to KC with disapproval and hatred on his face.

“STAY.  AWAY.  FROM.  MY.  PRODIGY!” I warned Leo, that shocked, and surprised him, like I cared, he was going to kill Tom, and I would never take the likes of that ever, rather if they were the good ones: both humans, or Vampires, and it goes for the rouges too. If any one of them hurts or decided to kill Tom, then they have another thing coming, and it won’t be good, I would promise any one of them, that’s for sure. no one and I do mean NO ONE.

          By that time, Tom got up off the ground, when all of his injuries were healed, then slowly up to stand behind KC while watching Leo the whole time daring him to make a move again.

-you all right- I asked him but still watching Leo the whole time I was communicating with Tom telepathically.

-yeah, thirsty, but I’m OK- then sniffed in the air trying to figure where that wonderful smell was coming from. -I hate to say this, but that baster actually smells good-. Tom informed me.

I held my shock mixed with surprise from the words he said from my head, but then I too smelled Leo’s blood from in the wind, in the air, where I had to agree with him; with all of that fighting that had been going on between Tom and the rouge Vampire Leo; Tom had done some numbers on Leo as the same thing from Leo to Tom, but while Tom’s body had already healed. just weak, Leo’s injuries were still slowly healing where the smell from his blood was floating in the air towards us. I wouldn’t think that any other Vampire, if they were rouge or not would smell so good to us Identity Vampires, but since Leo’s Blood does indeed smelled good, then that would mean we could feed off of our own kind, and maybe from others who are not vampires. hmm could it be possible? Could we Identity Vampires feed off from them. even kill them? Wish there really was a book about us. it would have helped me very much.

 -since your weak, I’ll let you feed off of him first, once I take him out, so you could get your strength back, then I’ll get my fill when you’re done. got it-. I commanded him.

-yes ma’am. thank you, and sorry about before, I guess I did needed your help after all- he replied.

-hey, it’s quite alright we all needed help some of the time, rather we all hate to admit it or not. it’s what your friends, family, or even a neighbor are for, to help those who needed that help.  either if anyone is in trouble and anything else like that-. I replied to him.

“so, he’s your prodigy, not your mate.” That wasn’t asking, but he was wondering with amusement and gratitude and a little bit of curiosity, if he thinks I would be his, and listen to whatever he orders me to do; then no thanks.

“yes, and no he’s not my mate, and neither are you. I don’t mate with vampires who are NOT MY TYPE, who are evil, and a rouge at that.” I growled at him, boy am I really pissed, I really don’t have all night to deal with this vampire, thinking he could have anyone he wants, do anything he wants, and everything else, it makes me sick. I would never be with this rouge, or any rouge, not on this life or the next life, not even if some vampire pays me a million dollars, I still wouldn’t. one thing I hate about rouges in general would be when they think they could go to every town, state, or country, and do whatever they want to hurt every human on this planet, no wonder the humans fear and want to destroy us so much where it makes it harder for us to save them. 

          Leo growled at that comment, which he didn’t liked or approved, not one bit. “you’ll pay for saying that to me Miss KC, I will have you, no matter what, I might as well take you by force then.” Before Leo got the chance to make the first moved, I spoked up first.

“before you do, I might as well tell you what Tom and myself are then, before I kill you first; (that got Leo’s attention, and what he’s been waiting for) We’re Identity Vampires.” I finally told him.

          Leo made a shocked face at the same time, I was already one step ahead of him and cut his head right off of his neck and shoulders with my four inch nails, which I didn’t know I had, I guess again it had to be on how angry and real irritated I was, where they grew really long.

          “OK Tom. get your weak ass over here and feed.” I commanded him as any maker should.

Tom knew she didn’t have to tell him twist, so Tom did what she ordered and yes it was a command and an order. As Tom feed off of Leo’s dead body, KC looked at her long-pointed nails, very long-pointed nails, she knew right then she couldn’t leave to find her little fawn, not without scaring the poor thing; Tom looked at KC’s nails with disbelieved, after he was done with his meal, then they both glanced to KC’s left, His right, and saw a dark puddle with mix colors, like oil colors, from a car, in it.

“KC.” Tom warned, but KC walked up to the puddle anyways just to see it closely. KC decided to bend down next to the strange Liquid, took a deep breath, and shoved her hands and nails into the Liquid.

“AH.” I screamed, I didn’t expect this stuff to sting my hands, or having it felt like burning fire, but if it’s the only way to get read of these nails then so be it.

          Few moments later I pulled my hands out of the burning fire Liquid and take a glance at my hands, no very sharp long nails. I showed my hands to Tom, he was speechless and didn’t know what to say till finally.

“so, we have very long nails than the Ordinary Vampires, and they only come or pop out, when we’re mad, irritated, maybe excited, or arouse, and maybe even when we’re distressed, or upset. then when we need our nails to go back to normal hands, that strange Liquid stuff shows out of nowhere to take our sharp nails away. nice.” Tom replied while being OK with our gifts that we have that was totally different than the Ordinary Vampires.

I second that, more like cool to me though, even if it hurts lie a son-of-a-b***h, then remember Cel Mic, where I got up and went to find her, which wasn’t hard; Cel Mic saw me coming and crawled out of the

bushes to wait for me, I wrapped her up with the blanket again and picked her up; “Good girl Cel Mic.” I told her while I was walking back out of the woods heading back to where Tom was waiting for us.
