Chapter 10 : Ballad of Blood!

Chapter 10 : Ballad of Blood!
 I took the piece of clothing and drove to the Pink Mansion.

There I was greeted by a newcomer, a new Darling named Kate.
“Who are you?” She asked me disdainfully. I showed her the pink card with two drops, which I now understood because they looked like vampire teeth.:

“Friend!” She said. The Darling recognized the hierarchy.

“ Sorry! ”

“ Alright, where's Ashley? ” 

The newbie pointed her finger upwards, she was certainly afraid to speak up and get punished. I smiled. I know how it is. I went upstairs and went to Diva's office. It was clearly closed and she was working on a large screen computer, a super modern Mac. 

“My Friend, it took you a while!”

“Traffic!”

“Where’s my purchase?!”

I showed her the super stylish bag from Poline store. She took the purchase and threw the packaging in the trash.

“Let's see if you have good taste! ”

Luckily for her, yes, I did. My years in fashion college had refined my sense of style.

“Oh! I love this outfit!” Ashley shouted excitedly. “It’s a radical style, just what I needed. Blake is going to love seeing my butt in these pants! ”

Laugh without grace. And I decided to comment: “Blake is a very handsome and different vampire… is that hair of his dyed?”

“ No, you fool! He is a pure-blood vampire. Coming from a lineage of vampire father and mother nine centuries old. He alone is three hundred years old. ”

“ That guy is three hundred years old?!”

“Yeah! It doesn't even look like it, does it? I like mature men...but handsome, with a young face! ”

I nodded. Some women like old men, what can you do?

“ But Blake is different, isn't he? ”  

“ Of course he is! He's a god compared to old people in nursing homes. He's the perfect man. He's handsome, stylish, dark, rich and a vampire! Just like me!" She clapped her hands in joy.

“ But he doesn't like you? I heard he's asexual. ”

Ashley's happy face turned into a sad and serious one. She looked at me like (why do you want to ruin my joy?).

But she told me the following:

“ Asexuality is something for ugly people who don't have sex. Blake is divine. He knows that, no woman is on his level, only me! One day you'll come here to the Pink Mansion, and you'll see him in my bed, with a smile on his face from the best night of his life. ”

“I’m sure you will…” I didn’t want to ruin her dream. As she dressed in her new clothes, she looked at herself in the mirror. She confessed to me:

“ I'm going to kiss Blake's skin all over, I'm going to run my hand through that white hair of his, I'm going to smell every strand on his head, I'm going to eat his hair, just to see how it tastes...”

I looked at her in astonishment. Ashley also realized how weird it was that she said it:

“Okay, I exaggerated. I’m not going to eat his hair.” And she laughed. I laughed too at her weirdness.

“So, are you going out with us today or not? ”

“ Where are you going?”

“ Let's go to a little dance club and then walk down the street to see Blake riding around on his motorcycle.”

“Oh, I have nothing to do this Saturday night, so I'm going.”

“ Great, we'll see each other tonight. ”



Night had fallen. We drove to the nightclub. Ashley's car was a white convertible with hot pink headlights and gold and pink details on the inside. Despite being a preppy car, it was a tuned car, with lots of details on the dashboard, a bunch of stopwatches and a really cool sound system, the speakers changed color according to the vibe of the music. We went from the Pink Mansion to the city center listening to Vanessa Carlton - A Thousand Miles, and we had time to listen to a heavy rock song, The Calling - Wherever You Will. 

The first club we went to was normal, with a lot of stylish people. We had a few drinks and danced like crazy. After about two hours there, we went to another club…

“Where are we going now?” I asked inside the car, the wind blowing in my head.

“Ah! You silly girl, we’re vampires, it’s time to go to a Ballad of Blood ...”

The name of the business scared me. It reminded me of the movie Blade and Vampire Hunters, where a vampire takes an unsuspecting human to a party behind a meatpacking plant, where in the middle of the commotion sprays attached to the ceiling start releasing liters of blood. I thought I would see something like that, but that's not what happened...

The place was in an abandoned area. Empty factories and houses. 

Why do vampires and criminals like places like this? Desolate?

Ashley replied: “Only brave people usually walk in that area. It keeps the eyes away. That’s where we go.”

It wasn't a meat locker. It was an abandoned apartment, with two guys dressed in dark clothes like security guards. Ashley came up to them and showed her teeth, Solane and others too, just me and another friend, we were human. The security guard stopped me, holding me by the arm. He looked at Ashley, who took out a bottle of perfume:

“ Oh, I almost forgot about you two.” She sprayed her perfume on both sides of our necks. “This is to prevent them from biting your necks. Not all vampires are civilized. There are some who still want to be animals. By passing my scent on to you, they know that they are under the protection of a vampire. It’s no guarantee that they won’t bite you, but at least you’re safe in some way. It’s better that you don’t stay alone. If you need to go to the bathroom, ask Solane to go with you. She likes bathrooms.” ”

I looked at Solane and she looked back and smiled.

We ignored everything and went inside.

The place was claustrophobic. Everything was closed to keep out the daylight, which meant that even when the sun came out they stayed there during the day. Yeah Yeah Yeahs - Heads Will Roll played in the background. Ashley seemed to be used to the environment, not only because she was a vampire, but she also liked to dance. 

Everyone looked at us as we arrived. There was certainly something about me and my colleague, they could certainly see auras. Knowing that this place was full of mythological vampires scared me a little. Men used to look at me, with the desire to devour me sexually, but if they caught me they would suck every last drop of my blood, literally…

Ahsley got some drinks, she paid for everything, but Solane warned me: “The drink here is spiked, it’s better if you don’t drink it.” The spiked one she was referring to contained blood, “If the pool of blood they took it from carries some venereal disease, you could end up catching it, we vampires don’t fear that anymore, after all we’re already dead.”

Since I had already had a few drinks, I decided to stay sober. Ashley, however, didn't. The more she drank, the more she danced wildly. I can't deny that I envied her, I wished I could be like her...

Suddenly my urine asked to come out, right there in that place, in the middle of the night. I had to ask Solane for help, or I would end up peeing my panties.

“Can you come with me to the bathroom?”

“Sure! Let’s go!” She replied. We grabbed our bags and headed there.

I was afraid that one of the vampires in the bathroom would attack my neck. But what was my surprise when I came across a man inside the women's bathroom.

“Don't worry,” Solane said, trying to calm me down. “He is an unloader.”

“What is this?” I asked.

“He sells drugs, and he helps the women in the bathroom when they need it, there are usually two of them.” I looked around, there was only him, chewing gum and watching the two of them talking, in one of the bathroom stalls, I heard a woman moaning, sitting on top of a man's penis, certainly the other was helping to release the woman's tension. I was even more scared, Solane nudged me with her arm to go to the bathroom to do what I had to do. "Go there, I'll keep watch, I'm going to talk to this guy."

I went, closed the door and the last thing I saw was her kissing the guy's cheek. I was worried about the sound of my urine coming out. But the moaning of the woman next to me helped to cover it up. After I finished and left, what was my new surprise? Solane was on her knees performing oral sex on the man. I trembled, first from fear, then from desire. Seeing other people's sex gives a feeling of pleasure. I washed my hands in the sink. My presence gave more pleasure to the man who ejaculated his sperm in Solane's mouth. She cleaned her face and we left. I was stunned by what had happened.

“Wow, vampires are so liberal,” I said.

“Yes, moral values ​​are worthless to those who suck blood from others. There are also two women in the men’s bathroom to help them. But I never bring my boyfriend here, I get so jealous when I see him with someone else.”

We both laughed. Poor boyfriend, I thought.
