Ascension Of The Blood Throne by Mikel Wilson (red scrolls of magic .TXT) 📗

no slave, you pompous jerk!" She swung hard at his face, which he quickly dodged as Mackinzie jumped on top of him, attempting to help subdue him. The girls were thrown back easily with one hand as he began to laugh.

"You are both far too weak to harm me. You are still human, but soon you won't be. The change will happen very soon, and you will need to feed. I shall teach you of your new heritage and the dangers of being a vampire. People on this plain always fear what they don't understand. I will teach you to survive and how to feed. ” Christian explained patiently, as if he were explaining something to a toddler.

“I am not going to be eating people! Yuck!” Mackinzie yelled, showing her disdain for the very thought of drinking blood while Lillith nodded in total agreement.

Christian fought back amusement and pretended to take their complaints seriously as he informed them of the terrible truth.

"Then both of you will die in a horrible way, your body craving plasma until you turn to dust. It’s up to you." Christian gave a shrug of his shoulders before turning to Mackinzie. "Where we are going, humans serve us, so prepare to be treated as a God, my queen."

"And what about me?" an annoyed Lillith inquired, crossing her arms.

"You will learn your place, that I can promise you. You are one of us; that should be good enough for you," Chris‐ tian said with a sly smile.

Their outburst took a lot out of them, and Mackinzie and Lillith started growing weaker and weaker until they laid over against each other, trying not to fall asleep.

Christian smiled as he said, "We must stop soon so we can feed." Time seemed to nearly stop, and the minutes felt like hours when finally, the van stopped. "We are here, and the night calls to us. Can you not hear it?"

The girls slowly raised their heads as their hearts nearly exploded from their chests. They became even weaker as the seconds passed. Their bodies started going into convulsions, and their canine teeth grew longer. Their mouths were parched, their lips cracking, and their stomachs cramped and rumbled as a thirst unlike anything they had ever felt consumed them. They fought with all they could to contain themselves, to hold on to their sanity, but this thirst was too much.

Christian watched the girls suffer, their bodies curling into the fetal position from the pain. After about thirty minutes, he decided it was time. His hunger was controlled. He had lived with this thirst his entire life, but the newly turned girls would go mad if they didn't feed soon. Figuring he had them right where he wanted them, he smiled as he took flight into the skies.

“Mackinzie, he’s gone, but I don't know how much time we may have. We have to get out of here now, this is our chance,” Lillith pleaded.

"I'm so weeeeak... Sooo thirsty," Mackinzie cried through trembling lips.

"I know, but if we don't fight this, we will be just like him. Do you want that?"

“I want to EAT!” Mackinzie screamed, her eyes slowly turning red as fangs extended from her mouth. Lillith grabbed Mackinzie and began shaking her. "I want it too, but we have to hold on to what makes us who we are!" she insisted, trying to get through to her friend.

As it turned out, they didn’t have time to escape. Christian returned very quickly, landing smoothly while holding a middle-aged woman who looked like she was just coming to. She began whimpering as she struggled to break the hold he had on her. She was average height and weight, wearing turquoise scrubs with a black leather jacket. Her eyes were wide with terror and shock, her red hair standing out in sharp contrast to her pale face.

"She's all yours, girls. Try to save something for me." With that, he tossed the terrified woman into the van with the girls and closed the door.

The woman screamed and cried out in fear as she smacked the door of the van, trying to get out. She must have been bleeding because the aroma of blood filled the cabin, causing the girls’ senses to come to life.

"Can you help me please?!" she pleaded with the girls, but they both just stared as their vampiric instincts took over, and their bodies began to shake and sweat profusely as their craving took over. "He gave me to you, didn’t he? Please, please, don't hurt me,” the woman cried. “I have money. Anything you want, take it.”

"Shhh, it’s okay, Miss, we won't let anything harm you. We were kidnapped just like you. We all need to stick together," Mackinzie said as she pulled the lady close to her. The sobbing woman laid her head on Mackenzie’s chest.

Mackinzie’s smile soon changed as did her appearance. Her eyes turned as red as coals of fire as her mouth opened, revealing her fangs. Mackinzie watched the veins in the woman’s neck move with every breath she took, the smell of blood and the sound of the woman's heart‐ beat finally overtook her. She gripped the woman tightly, and when she could no longer fight her new nature, Mackinzie grabbed the woman by her hair and sank her fangs into her neck.

The woman gasped for air and her body shook. As the blood filled Mackinzie’s mouth and slid down her throat, she came back to herself. Her real consciousness had once again returned, and she was disgusted with herself and what she had just done. Angrily throwing the woman down as she screamed, she sank to the floor of the van, wrapping her arms around her knees and sobbing while rocking back and forth. She was a monster! She couldn't believe the terror she had become!

Lillith’s change seemed very different. Her body gave off a strange aura, and her disposition changed dramatically as a sinister smile crept across her once innocent face. No longer did her
