Vampire story - part 11 - The coming back



He had to run. Slowly he tried to float out of the mansion, but Geon was already in front of the doorway.
"Leaving so soon?" he asked smiling
"I have to hunt" Gerald lied  "I'm hungry..."
"Let's go together" said Geon
"No, thank you, I need to walk by myself"
"You're not going anywhere alone, you're a new born, it's dangerous" Geon insisted
"I'm going by myself" Gerald said firmly
"You'll go with me or you'll die" Geon announced him , catching Gerald's throat. Gerald struggled. One blow and then another, like in a boxing match. For a moment Gerald was hurting Geon, in another moment Geon was leading, until he made a mistake. He came to close to the wall, so Gerald stroke him, then slapped him so hard that he was on the floor. With a sharp knife Gerald cut his head and then took his body in the living room and set it on fire.
One vampire was dead. There were other two more vampires to kill. He looked for Laureen and Marius but they had already left. He had to fly to Sasha, find Sasha and Jullie and save them, so that he could save all of his friends.
Back to Sasha's mansion I was talking to Roxanne on the phone, when suddenly I heard a noise downstairs
"I know I tried to see him but I couldn't..."
"It's weird Jullie, It's not like him to disappear like that" Roxanne said
"He did not disappeared, Roxanne, he had a motor accident for Christ's sake, he's in the hospital"
"And he can't call? You said he's better now"
"He's not allowed, you know ... the rules, why don't you call him or visit him?"
"You didn't tell me where the hospital is remember? And I tried to call but he doesn't answer. He's parents doesn't know anything about him, I called them too."
"I'll try to talk to Sasha again, but I can't promise you anything, you know Sasha doesn't like her patients to be disturbed while they are in convalescence."
"Yes I know, we could not talk to you either..."
"Then you have to be patient, I'll try to see how Gerald is doing"
"Roxanne, wait I'll call you later, I think I hear some noises downstairs, it must be Sasha, goodbye" and I put my mobile phone away.
I floated downstairs just in time to see Marius and Laureen caring Sasha in by force.
"Let me go" Sasha cried
"So, you are the vampire's creator" the woman said
"I am what?" Sasha cried again
"You created two new born vampires" Laureen said
"I have no ideea what you're talking about"
"Don't lie bitch, I know it's you, Kill her Marius, let's get over it" Laureen shouted
"No" I screamed.
I threw myself on Laureen and tried to beat her. The next moment Gerald entered the room and started to fight Marius.
Sasha managing to free herself helped me to fight Laureen and together we could overcome her. Gerald trapped Marius. The two were taken in the backyard and set on fire.
I catched Gerald arms while looking at the flames and cried:"Oh, Gerald"
"I'm sorry Jullie" Gerald said, holding my hand, he was warm now, like I was. to the humans we would seem rather cold. "I didn't mean it, I was just too angry, I could not see."
"Who were they?" asked Sasha looking at the flames too
"Vampires" Gerald answer
"I can see that, what did they wanted?"
"You two" Gerald said embracing me "Änd to tell a guy named Victor about you"
"That's the leader of the west clan" Sasha explained to him, so at least now we had some evidence. He told her everything he knew.
"Us?" I asked "But why? we did no harm to them..."
"Sasha created you and you created me, Jullie. That's a sin. Old vampires don't accept the young ones, they steal their food and theritory."
"I did not meant to harm anyone, neither Sasha, she just saved me, and I saved you and I want to take all my friends into eternity with me, that's all"
"I know, now I know it, but to them this was a crime and you two had to be killed. Oh Jullie, this thing must stop, we will not create other vampires anymore. Not without giving them the possibility to know what awaits them. It's terrible to wake up in thirst, see your body dying, feel empty, feel that you're not human anymore, kill and drink blood. It's terrible. I hated it, I still do, no one should live like this..."
"I'm sorry Gerald, I did not want to hurt you, I thought you'll like it like I do, I feel great being like this. I drink blood but I don't kill humans. And the powers are great: the force, the speed, the immortality, every wound heals, every part of me is beautiful now, I can do what I want. I thought you'll like it"
"These things I like them too now. But the price is too high, I don't want to transform the others withought giving them the possibility to choose"
"We cannot say what we are Gerald" Sasha said, "remember our code"
"We shall not speak" Gerald said "They will discover it by themselves"
"How?" I asked?
"Leave this on me"
"So this means that you're back?" I asked, my face turning into happiness
"Back? He has to ask me first, if I want him here" Sasha said trying to predend she didn't like the ideea.
"I'll have to think about it" she smiled
"Oh, Sasha can he stay?" I cried " Say you let him stay, say it Sash! He will appologize. Appologize Ger" i cried turning to him 
"I'm sorry Sasha, it was my mistake, I promise it won't happen again. I promise I'll stay here and protect you and Jullie" appologized Gerald
"Come on Sash, he means it, I know he does, I know him"
"Well all right" said Sasha smiling "He can stay, after all who am I to say no to you or to a such nice young fellow" Sasha said flirting "See he does not make me anymore trouble, or he's out"
"No, Sasha, I'll take care of him", I promissed
"Oh, Sasha"
"Humm?"
"Where will he stay?" I asked
"That's not a problem Jullie really, I won't stay here too much, I'll go to my parents or find a place of my own"
"You are a vampire now Gerald, you'll have to stay here, you won't risk putting your family in danger. You can see them but not leave with them. You don't know when you'll get hungry and you can't keep the blood in their fridge can you? How will you explain that to them? Of course you can lie for a short time saying you'll need it, you lost blood but you can't lie them forever. Trust me, the best for you is to stay here where I can watch over you" sasha said
"You're right Sash, I did not think of that, I'll have to stay here, but I'll have to visit my family somehow"
"You can go whenever you like, but you'll have to come back, meanwhile you can share the same room with Jullie, until I'll arange one for you, if she doesn't mind"
"Mind? I don't mind. Come Ger I'll show you the house"
"Oh I forgot, they were looking for an old vampire called Guy, I think I know where he is, I read it in Laureen's mind, they were going to kill him, does it ring a bell Sasha?" Gerald remembered
Sasha's face got suddenly illuminated with hope:"Yes, Oh yes, he's my old dear friend, if we find him, he is a clairvoyant better than I am, he can find the one who sees in all dimensions and we can find a solution"
"Then let's find him Sash!" This was our next job, to find the old vampire.
