    “Natural. It’s like a birthmark. My father had it,” he replied.
    “That’s nice. I like it,” I said, handing him a muffin.
    He took it, and we both began to snack on the goods. We were having a great time talking and eating, that I didn’t notice how late at night it was. I was telling Blaze on how happy I was that everyone gets to be a lord vampire. Blaze just kept staring at me, and then after a while, he kissed me. Not on the cheek, but on the lips. He didn’t stop either. He kept going, and I couldn’t do anything about it. I was too seduced by him. He held me in his arms, kissing me on the lips, and then on the neck.
    “Do you trust me?” he whispered, still kissing me gently on the neck.
    “Yes,” I answered back in a low voice.
    He kept kissing me, then he stopped, sighed a soft romantic sigh, and then he bit me. I felt two painful spots on my neck, but I didn’t mind.
     
     
     
     
     

     
     
     
     
     
                 
                 
     
     
     
     
     
     
     
     
    Chapter 21
     
    Lord Erebus sent Blaze, a few other vampires, and me to talk to the public. We broke into a news station, and interrupted what they were announcing. I think they were talking about the power outage? That didn’t bother us. We had generators. “Listen closely, humans. I am Lord Obsidian, and I want to warn everyone. We have grown powerful, and I will assure you that the next attack directed to us will not be a pretty one. We will kill and destroy everything. I honestly don’t know why we are being attacked? All we know is that Ravine Katz has you all in the palm of his hand. We tend to keep to ourselves, and we don’t kill people for the fun of it? Why would we want to take over the planet? We could’ve done that years ago, but we chose not to. Heck, I’m 800 years old, don’t you think I would’ve already done that? Why wait now? This has gone far enough. We will no longer hold back anything. That is why I’m here. The military will strike us, and we will kill them to defend our family. Look, we don’t want to kill, but if we have to we will. That is why I’m asking everyone to do themselves a favor. Tell anyone you know that is in the military to surrender,” Blaze said, looking directly at the people in the news room.
    “We are not murderers like you humans. We have been kind to people. Why? We don’t try to start any trouble. If we win this war, I don’t want people that knew, or that are related to military people, to say that we killed their loved ones. That they fought for nothing and died all because of one greedy person who wants to eradicate us. Open your eyes! We’ve been living among you for thousands of years, and we have not started anything to drive extinction to humanity. You’re doing that by yourself! If you want to save your precious military people, the planet, and your lives, stop this now. Stop listening to Ravine Katz and his lies. He’s the one killing off your people, your friends, and your family. Not us. Do this, and you will have no trouble from us. If you don’t…well we warned you. We are not going to go easy on anyone,” Blaze said, finishing up his speech.
    All of us left and went back to the fortress. We confronted Lord Erebus at his throne. “It’s done, and we had no problems,” Blaze said, bowing.
    “Good, now we wait and see what happens,” Lord Erebus responded.
    Everyone departed to do other things. “Starr, why don’t I show you some fighting techniques while we wait,” Blaze said. I nodded, and we began training.

Chapter 22
     
     
    Blaze and I spent all day training. I learned a few tricks, and I can now say that I know how to defend myself better. Lord Erebus watched us closely, but I think his mind was elsewhere. Other vampires would should up at the throne room, and have a small chat with Lord Erebus. He’d just shake his head, but continued on watching us.
    “Lord Obsidian, it is night time. I need you to
