Chapter 6 β The necromancer.
It was Monday morning, English Lit 101, my absolute favorite class ever in the history of the world. Okay, so it wasn't really the class, just when Nikki usually came to claim her time with me, and usually in some really perverted fantasy. The first time she was a cheerleader, the next a nun. Last week she was a catholic school girl, I was wondering what she would do this time.
I don't know how they arranged it, but my time was pretty evenly split between the four of them. After the second vampire crisis things had settled down a bit, considering I had 4 lovely very complicated females in my life it has been surprisingly drama free lately.
There were a few tense moments when Stephanie tried to get me in bed, she is surprisingly grateful I saved her life twice, but her dark energy and my light really wont mix well, it's better all around to avoid that whole situation. In fact the whole thing about 18 hot young vampires wanting to thank me but me not being able to would bother me, if my social and sex life weren't so rich to begin with already.
Hmm, class started a few minutes ago and Nikki hasn't shown up yet. Which is really weird, because even without the sex part she should be here as my guardian. Even when having private sex with others I can usually sense her close by, I can't sense her at all right now. Weird.
Getting a little worried I closed my eyes and concentrated, searching for the energy signature I know so well of my twisted sexy little angel. I felt it in my dorm room, and there was definitely something wrong, I also felt the corruption of dark energy. Without a thought to the scene it would make I jumped out of my chair and sprinted for the exit.
I was heavily winded as I ran into my dorm room and took in the scene. Nikki was lying on the floor unconscious, there seemed to be a darkness surrounding her, eating her energy. I looked up and saw Marie. She had a hideous look on her face. Dark, evil and wrong. I could see dark energy twisting her spirit.
Marie screamed at me, "THIS IS YOUR FAULT, you are ours!!! If you kept your dick in your pants and didn't bother to save those vampire SLUTS this never would have happened."
I raised power to try and cleanse Marie of the taint twisting her soul but she shrieked at me and disappeared. Dismissing that trouble for later I rushed over and pulled Nikki into my arms and bathed her in light energy burning the dark energy off of her body. I fed her energy too, but she didn't wake up. Parts of her seemed missing and I started to panic which made me rage.
Full of anger at what could have done this I learned a new skill as I so often did when I lose conscious control and let instinct guide me. I ripped a hole in reality and stepped through into the abandoned house where Sam lived with his vampire girlfriend Gabriela along with Stephanie and the other female vamps.
I screamed for Andrea as I walked through the house, all the vampires were currently asleep in the basement but Sam should be here and so should his angel. She would know what to do. She better know how to fix Nikki.
I sensed her in one of the upstairs bedrooms and started that way, when I sensed the twisted powerful dark energy in there with her I put Nikki down and ran into the room. I saw Andrea standing in front of a sleeping Sam, Gabriela in his arms unconscious with the sun up. Andrea was trying to defend herself from tentacles of dark power. I opened up the aperture in my head and sent a beam of light energy at the dark figure.
The light bit into him and he cried out, but was able to block the rest of my attack. He snarled at me and then stepped into an inky pool of darkness and disappeared.
I ran back out and grabbed Nikki and brought her to Andrea and said, "What the hell was that thing, and what did he do to Nikki?"
Her voice was full of fear and shock. "I'll be back in a minute to explain, I need to get her help before her energy breaks up any worse." Then looking at me severely she demanded, "Stay here and guard Sam!"
Andrea reached out and touched Nikki's forehead and they both disappeared in a flash of light.
I checked Sam and Gabriela, they seemed fine. I paced for a while but finally calmed down. Once I had a moment to think I figured out the obvious way to help Marie. I sent a cleansing energy into the power link between us then pulled on the power in the link and Marie appeared before me, the last of the twisting energies fading away as she solidified.
I pulled my Marie into my arms and asked softly, "Are you okay baby?"
She melted against me and started crying, whispering how sorry she was for what she said to me. Eventually I got her to calm down enough to tell me what happened.
Marie said, "It was a necromancer, he attacked Nikki while taunting us about how he was going to kill you for killing his pet. That twisted asshole vampire was actually his creature, who knows how much of the evil he did was against his will or nature. When he said he would come after you I... Well I kind of lost it at the thought of him hurting you, so I attacked him.
"His power though, it reached inside me and started to twist me, I was angry at you and didn't understand why, I couldn't control it. He disappeared as he said, 'I'm going to destroy that coven of bitches then come back and finish off your master,' right before you walked in. You know what happened then. I screamed at you, I was so angry that I was afraid I would attack you, so I ran away instead."
She looked ashamed as she buried her face in my chest. I kissed the top of her head.
I said reassuringly, "I know it wasn't your fault, I love you Marie, and you were right about one thing. I do belong to you, don't forget it."
She looked up at me with a teary smile and kissed me. "So tell me what happened after I left."
I filled her in on what I did and that the angels were gone. Then I started kissing her again when a random thought brought me up short.
"Baby, can you do me a favor? Pop out and make sure Mia and Pia are ok?"
Marie giggled and put her arms out and crossed them and said, "Yes master," right before disappearing.
I think some of my goofy during stress must have rubbed off on her. I suddenly sensed dark energy behind me and tried to raise a shield, cursing myself for lowering it in the first place, but I was too late. My last worried thought was about my friends as I lost consciousness.
======================================
I woke up tied up in the cellar, I tried to release light energy to burn the ropes off but nothing happened. I examined my mirror setup and noticed a screen of dark energy covered the conduit to the other side. I had no energy left in my body either. Fuck.
I heard an evil cackle and muttered, "Seriously? Fucking walking clichΓ©."
I managed to open my eyes and saw half the vampires on their knees, his twisting dark energy invading their aura's putting them under his control. Oh shit, this looks bad. I looked around hopefully and saw 6 other vamps being held in a cage. That means 2 were missing. I figured out it was Gabby and Stephanie. I saw no sign of Marie, Pia or Mia and sighed in relief. Unfortunately Sam was tied up next to me.
"So dude, really, what's the point? So I killed a piece of shit vamp you had under your thumb, get a new one and move on, what's with the revenge?" I was hoping to get him to talk and drag things out, I needed an opportunity.
He growled and said, "My toy, I can't let others break my stuff, so I am here to break your toys and kill you, make sure no one else touches my stuff. All the others would make fun of me!"
Crap. The guy was a total nut bag.
I said, "I don't have toys, I have friends, and lovers, not slaves. Besides it looks like you already took them out, what's your plan for me?"
He growled out, "Don't try to lie to me! I have another ghost and a human to get still. I'll kill you after they are either my toys or dead."
I held back my sigh of relief. He didn't know the angel was getting help or that I healed Marie.
I was trying to come up with a plan and failing badly when my mouth dropped open. Stephanie and Gabriella walked into the cellar in lingerie, despite my situation I felt my blood rush to my center at the sight of the two beautiful women dressed so provocatively.
The necromancer stared to, they ignored him completely. Both bowing to me Gabriella said in a sultry fuck me voice, "We will kill this rabble master, and then pleasure you throughout the night."
Huh? My cock got rock hard. Crap, with effort I stopped thinking with my dick and realized this was a distraction, for what I didn't know. But I hoped it was for someone else, because the distraction totally had me distracted.
He sneered and said, "Good, I don't need to hunt you little sluts down, this should be..."
He cut off as a beaker broke across his head, even I didn't see that coming. He screamed as some kind of acid burned his face, then Gabriella jumped forward and punched him in the neck with her full vampire strength decapitating the crazy son of a bitch in one blow.
I turned to see who threw the beaker full of acid and my jaw dropped as I gasped out, "Mia?"
She turned and winked at me then said, "Well us ladies needed to save our sex toy... errr, I mean you are very important to us and we had to save you."
I looked her slowly up and down a leering grin on my face and said, "I am here to serve mistress."
Then laughing I said, "Thanks for saving me, I was pretty screwed."
