Mason arose early the next evening and let himself out onto the terrace as he allowed his mind to go back over the previous nights goings on. He was close to knowing the truth and figured he had it all worked out in his mind but there were still a few details that he was missing. Why or how the way things were turning out he was unsure though and that is what he was finding himself perplexed with at the moment.
Standing on his terrace overlooking the great fields and open land behind the mansion Mason turned his gaze to the mountains and watched as the moon crested just over their peaks. His mind's eye flashed back to when he was young merely a fledgling vampire struggling to understand his gift. That eternal gift that had been either some genetic anomaly or perhaps it had been a predestined plan by the creator. Either way he had been able to do things at an early age that most men and women wouldn't be able to even entertain ideas of for a little over a century. His mental capacity was greater than that of anyone ever and his physical attributes were equally as blessed. Mason thought back to all the years he had walked this earth and now finally over a century and a half later he had found his mate, or at least that is how Tina was shaping up.
Tonight would be her final test along with the other two vampress', Sandy and Cindy. Mason had planned for a small ceremony and had accosted a priest to perform the rites and ritualistic vows just prior to dawn. He knew that if the night went as expected he would be sharing his large bedroom from now until the ends of time with Tina, Sandy, and Cindy.
The test was to be a hunt, he had marked and taken blood from one mortal and left them out in the hills to survive for the last few days. Even now as he stood there looking out Mason could fix his gaze directly at where the pathetic human was cowering in the woods at the base of the mountains. The humans mind was melded with Mason's own and even had it not been like this his scent, the human scent of fear, radiated from the man and would have made him easy for the vampiric lord. The women when they roused from their slumber would be given their task, each was to go out into the night on the gated property and to hunt down this man. Only one must succeed for all three to gain entrance into the final stage of the transformation Mason was putting them through. Once completed he would wed Tina, and give the two little ones another bloodletting of his own and allow them a taste of a higher level of being than they had already achieved.
