Chronicles : Chapter ]I[
|
|
\=--------------------=/
|
|
|
|
Here is Chronicles chapter 3. After a long break, I
|
|
guess you could say, I got off my lazy ass and wrote this. Its
|
|
not as big as the other chapters, especially not the last one,
|
|
but, what do I get for only working about the equvalent of two
|
|
hours on it. Anyway, I already have chapter 4 in the works and
|
|
vYrus should have it in his hands by the time this one is released
|
|
into TYME. Well, the chapter begins where the last one left off.
|
|
Elyssa and Gabriel our on thier way into Boston and
|
|
they get a little sidetracked by an old aquaintance of hers.

Chapter III: Night
|
|
|
|
She takes me to Boston, the night is rich and full of
|
|
wonderful sound. People bustling through the downtown streets,
|
|
carriages jostling along. Elyssa is radiantly beautiful, the
|
|
blonde hair, almost silken, angel-like she seems. The driver
|
|
commands the horses to a slow trot, he dressed in all black like
|
|
she and I. If there ever was a heaven, I am in it now.
|
|
|
|
"What's wrong?" She asks of me.
|
|
|
|
"What?" I reply, not paying attention, "Oh, nothing, nothing
|
|
at all."
|
|
|
|
"Does the beauty overwhelm you?" She smiles.
|
|
|
|
"Yes," I say, "All of this never looked quite as it did when
|
|
I was mortal."
|
|
|
|
"Your saying its bland?" She says.
|
|
|
|
"Oh, no!" I exclaimed, "Of course not. Everything seems so
|
|
alive, its like I'm in a dream, everything is more beautiful than
|
|
I could ever imagine! The sights and sounds are so much more
|
|
vivid! Even the clopping of the horses is astonishing!"
|
|
|
|
She laughs. "I know what your feeling." She says, "Its the
|
|
same with every immortal. Your senses were heightened ten times
|
|
more than when you were mortal. Everything takes on a new look
|
|
and feel. Sex would probablly be much more satisfying if
|
|
vampires could do such."
|
|
|
|
"What do you mean, if vampires could do such?" I asked.
|
|
|
|
"Well, females can have it, but, men cannot." She says.
|
|
|
|
"And why is that?" I asked.
|
|
|
|
"Well, the men can't get an erection. Not enough blood."
|
|
She says, smiling.
|
|
|
|
"How nice." I say sarcastically, "Let's move on to another
|
|
subject, shall we?"
|
|
|
|
She laughs again, amused at my disenchantment. We turn a
|
|
corner, the carriage feels strange as it veers to turn.
|
|
|
|
"Where are we headed?" I ask.
|
|
|
|
"We are going to the theatre." She says, "Hamlet."
|
|
|
|
"I've never seen that!" I say excited, "I've really wanted
|
|
to! Whats it like?"
|
|
|
|
"Perhaps you should see it for yourself." She tells me, "I
|
|
wouldn't want to spoil it for you."
|
|
|
|
I hear the horses start to slow, we abrubtly halt in front
|
|
of a taverne. I ask her why we are stopping here, she replies by
|
|
telling me that we have to feed if we are going to fit in with
|
|
the people in the theatre. I look at my skin and notice that I
|
|
am pale white. She tells me the blood will return my color. We
|
|
pick off two vagrants easily while they stagger drunkenly down
|
|
the street.
|
|
|
|
After we are finished the carriage comes around and picks us
|
|
up again. I find it strange how attentive her servants are.
|
|
They seem to know where she is and when she wishes them to do
|
|
what it is they do. We step into the carriage again and trot off
|
|
to the theatre. We arrive early and take our seats. The noise
|
|
in the gigantic room is overwhelming. I pick out one voice and
|
|
cannot hear the rest. Some people are talking about the show,
|
|
and how some of them have seen it so many times before.
|
|
Some talk of problems at thier homes. Some just nothing truly
|
|
interesting. I find it funny how so many peoples concerns and
|
|
fears amount to truly nothing.
|
|
|
|
The house lights dim and the actors come out. They say
|
|
thier lines with true eloquence, if they mess up, they hide it
|
|
particularly well. So many jumbles of color move through the
|
|
actor's bodies. Pinks, whites, and reds. All in one jumble, the
|
|
other vivid colors of thier costumes add to the effect. The hall
|
|
seems to echo and reverberate thier every sound and move much
|
|
clearly than I have ever heard, when I was mortal. They finish
|
|
with the play, and I am truly ecstatic. I stand and applaud with
|
|
everyone around me. Elyssa laughs happily and applauds with me.
|
|
|
|
We empty out of the theatre and walk down the street.
|
|
|
|
"So how did you like it?" She asks me.
|
|
|
|
"Oh my god!" I exclaimed. "The sounds and the colors!
|
|
Everything was so vivid and exciting! It was like I was at
|
|
theatre for the very first time!"
|
|
|
|
"So you enjoyed it?" She asks smiling.
|
|
|
|
"Oh, yes!" I exclaim, "It was better than anything I have
|
|
ever heard or seen!"
|
|
|
|
She takes up my arm and we walk down the street even
|
|
further. The night surrounds and envelops us, like a viel of
|
|
beauty, everything seems to come alive to me now. Nothing has
|
|
ever seemed so beautiful and enchanting as this life is to me
|
|
now. I look over to Elyssa, her face is forlorn and sullen, she
|
|
looks as if shes drawn away by something.
|
|
|
|
|
|
"Elyssa," I say, "what is it? Whats wrong?"
|
|
|
|
"No." She says suddenly. "Not now. Hurry run this way. And
|
|
hope that he cannot find us!"
|
|
|
|
She grabs me and we start running down the street. We push
|
|
through the multitude of mortals, as they gasp and dodge us. We
|
|
break into a clearing, no one around us. We stop and catch our
|
|
breath. I look up further down the street and see someone
|
|
walking toward us. A man in a long black coat, he has a walking
|
|
stick and a top hat. She turns toward the man, he is a good
|
|
twenty meters away. Elyssa grabs me again and turns to run the
|
|
other way. But he is there, right in front of us blocking our
|
|
path. He steps up to us.
|
|
|
|
"Machere`," He says, thick with french accent, "it has
|
|
been, so long."
|
|
|
|
He smiles at us, and then with amazing quickness hits her
|
|
across the head with his cane. She flies into a wall, knocked
|
|
out. And then he turns to me.
|
|
|
|
"Goodnight monsiuer." He says to me with a wicked grin, "Nice
|
|
meeting you."
|
|
|
|
Before I can react he does the same to me, only hitting me
|
|
in the chest. I am sent soaring over the street with such force,
|
|
I crash through the wall behind me. I get up and shake it off.
|
|
I stagger out into the street. The man, and Elyssa are gone.
|
|
Frantic I run through the streets, screaming for her. But to no
|
|
avail.
|
|
|
|
How beautiful is the night, and whole I feel, once more I am
|
|
alone.
|
|
|
|
End of Chapter 3.
