TEN YEARS LATER
Vampires do not dream. Only the living dream. For vampires, the
world falls away, and a sense of peace engulfs everything we are,
wrapping us in warm, loving arms that promise to never let go. The
tranquillity this brings consumes us. It is a thick blanket we do not want to
leave on a cold winter’s day, so necessity must force us from this peaceful
slumber. Usually, hunger drags us to the waking world, but hunger never
bothered me.

I woke ten years later, to someone tearing the lid from my sarcophagus.
How I knew I had slept so long was not my immediate concern as the lead
lid of my sarcophagus was flying across the room and my new instincts
warned me there was a threat capable of killing me nearby.
I flung my body towards the ceiling. The small cracks in the stonework
were enough for me to find purchase with my fingertips, and I scurried
along the roof like a cockroach, moving by instinct, and heading for the
closed door.
Radiant light enveloped the room a second later, and I snapped my gaze
to those below.
A familiar young man stood in the middle of the room where I was
turned. The blood summoning circles beneath his feet had faded with the
passage of time, becoming dust, and the red glowing crystals in the small
alcoves had lost their light, leaving the room less ominous. At the edge of
the room stood three robed women: a blonde, a brunette, and a redhead.
They each held a staff in their right hand and looked to be in their midtwenties. They were in the process of moving their heads to track my
movements, while the familiar-looking man held me firmly with his gaze.
“Dad?” he called, tentatively and full of surprise.
I froze, shocked as his voice and features took on new meaning. “Luke.”
Horror replaced his surprise. “Are you a fucking vampire?”
Older instincts kicked in, brought on by years of habit. “Don’t swear,
Son.”
The three women’s heads finished turning and they lifted their staffs.
All sorts of magic bombarded me, knocking me from the ceiling with
thunderous cracks. My back hit the ground, and more magic piled on top. It
stung a little, as my flesh was torn and burned, only to immediately reform,
unharmed.
“My spells aren’t working,” the brunette shouted. She reached into her
white robe and lifted a strange prism-shaped object, pointing it in my
direction.
As my shock faded, joy filled me. Ignoring the spells, I jumped to my
feet and ran towards my boy. While I was trapped in my cell, I had made
peace with never seeing him again, but now that he was here before me, I
wanted nothing more than to embrace him.
His sword pierced my heart as my arms wrapped around his shoulders. I
didn’t care. “My boy. My beautiful little boy.”
“Dad,” he said weakly.
