《Vampire King》Chapter 30- Donating to the dysfunctional

"Father please don't!' The little boy pleaded, his father chuckled.
"Nothing will come good out of you boy, you're a monster. Monsters can't be tamed," he says raising the wooden steak in his hand.
The little boy was only seven, he didn't understand anything. He didn't know why his father called him all sorts of names, he never did anything wrong.
"Henry stop it," his mother growled.
The father, Henry, chuckled. "You're protecting him? The blood sucker," Henry raises an eyebrow.
"That 'blood sucker' is our son, well my son. You have no right to claim him your son after all the terrible things you've done to him, he's only a little boy!" His mother cried out desperately.
"Edna, your little boy is a killing machine," Edna walks to him and bends down lifting him in her arms.
"No he is not, he would never do such a thing!" Edna exclaimed angry at the accusation of her son.
"He deserves to rot in hell," Henry spits out.
"No, you do," Edna hisses and runs away from him, trying to escape his wrath.
"Get back here!" He yells gripping the knife in his hand while chasing his wife and monstrous 'son', he didn't claim him as his son anyway.
Edna runs until he cannot hear her anymore, she places him in a tree to hide him and she whispers.
"Hide here my sweet boy, don't come out until you see me. I will be back my sweet Tyler."

"So let me get this straight, you put chocolate on his underwear then claimed that it was poo?"
"He deserved it after leaving it in my room, he's your boyfriend so his clothes don't belong there," I shrug simply.
"You're cruel," I smile sweetly.
"Oh I know that already."
"Everyone saw his 'skid marked' underwear, he's embarrassed and you should say sorry," Sam says crossing her arms over her chest.
"Look Sam, I'm going to keep sabotaging him until the day I die which will probably be very soon," I shrug, she raises an eyebrow.
"And why soon?" She asks.
"Because I keep sabotaging him," I say like it's the most obvious thing on earth.
She sighs deeply and asks, "when are you going to along with him?"
I look at her with a raised eyebrow, "I've told you this already. Probably never," I shrug.
"Babe, I think we've established it already that we will never be friends. We can handle each other and be in each other's presence but other than that it's mutual hate," Marcus says butting in to our conversation.
"Actually I can't stand your presence at all," I correct him, he glares at me and I smile sweetly.
"Tyler do you hate it how your girlfriend and bet friend hate each other?" Sam asks him, he pauses in shoving chocolate in his mouth.

"Nah I don't care, it's funny to be honest," I smile smugly at Samantha and poke my tongues out, she glares.
"Everyone still thinks you shît your pants by the way," Tyler notifies him.
"Well that's nice. Thank you so much Shae, it's a pleasure to know you," Marcus sarcastically says.
"Of I know it is," I reply grinning.
Marcus clenches his teeth and looks at Tyler, "Shae and her witty comebacks will get her into trouble," he hisses, annoyed.
"I don't think anyone would dare hurt her," Tyler shrugs.
"Oh I would," he mutters. "Her mouth should be removed," he says and I roll my eyes.
"So should yours," Tyler says, I smile and walk over to him and sit on his lap.
"My boyfriend will always defend me," I kiss him on the cheek to taunt Marcus, Marcus shudders in disgust.
I'd like to think that he's just jealous, so I'm going to think that.
"Dude, what about bros before hoes?" Marcus asks.
"I'll always love you dude," Tyler mutters placing a hand on his heart and pouting, Marcus touches his own heart and I cringe.
"The bromance is too real," I mutter.
"It will always be chicks before d*cks," Sam says putting in her input that probably isn't needed but oh well.
"Of course," I reply.
"So what are we doing today?" Sam asks, Marcus sits next to her and rests his arm behind her head.
"Staying here?" Tyler asks more than says.
"But it's boring in here, we might as well show off our boyfriends am I right Shae?" She looks at me.
"Sammy whammy, its hoes before bros we don't need to show off our man!" I exclaim, "well my man and your man, so our men," I awkwardly correct myself, they all laugh.
"Well lucky for you two, we show off our girls," Marcus adjusts his shirt and stands.
"What are we doing?" Asks Sam.
"Something," Marcus shrugs.
"Something meaning that you don't even know?" Tyler raises an eyebrow, Marcus winks at him.
"You know me too well brother," I roll my eyes.
"Get a room will you?" They look at each other.
"Gladly," they 'flirtatiously' say in sync.
I roll my eyes, "I have an idea!" Marcus grins and jumps up and down like a five year old, we all look at him waiting for his elaboration.
"Well?" I snap, his mouth forms an 'o' shape like he's finally processed that we want to know his idea.
"Let's go knocking at people's doors then run away into the bush to see their reactions," Sam and I look at him dumbfounded.
"Firstly Sam is a terrible runner, no offence. And we aren't as fast as you do we could get caught," I place a hand on my hip.

"Hey!" Sam pouts.
"Oh well, you'll get caught then," Marcus simply shrugs.
"What? No!" Sam exclaims.
"Don't worry I'll help you, but I can't say the same for her," Marcus looks at me, I scowl at him.
"I'll help my girlfriend, or we could all use human speed for the fun of it," Tyler suggests.
"Good idea!" I exclaim.
"Awe, that's no fun," Marcus whines.
"You're no fun," I snap, he smirks and taps my nose lightly and I cringe.
"Little S, it was my idea to go door knocking," he smirks and I scowl.

"So we'll go two at a time, taking turns with who we are paired with," Sam whispers, I eye the house that Tyler and I are about to go door knocking on.
"Okay, let's go," Tyler says gesturing his head towards the house, I nod and we walk hand in hand to the door.
He releases my hand and rings the doorbell, we immediately sprint to the closest bush.
Since Tyler is faster than me even without using his vampire speed he gets there in time, where as when I start to hear the door open I dive towards the bush and practically tackle Tyler down and eat a mouthful of leaves.
I spit them out in disgust but place my hands on Tyler's chest. Is breathing is ragged like he's winded but he composes himself, "hello?! Is anyone there?" We hear a manly voice.
Since Sam and Marcus are watching from afar in amusement they obviously hid behind the fence in the next yard because they shout.
"Over here!" Exactly in the area we are, I scramble off Tyler and he sits up. I peek out the bushes to see the man walking across the driveway and onto the grass.
Tyler cusses and grabs me by the waist lifting me, he uses his vampire speed to run out from the bush and down the street.
"You stupid kids!" The man shouts.
Tyler stops and Marcus and Samantha come into view and I glare at the both of them,"your turn now," I smile wickedly.
We walk to the next house, Tyler and I sit on a bench at a near park since it's like right next door to the house.
We watch as Marcus rings the doorbell then they both rush to the bush humanly, as in Marcus doesn't cheat using his vampire speed.
They hide behind the bush just in time, a woman comes out this time. She looks across to where we are and narrows her eyes, "was that you two!?" She shouts.
"Nah, it was actually them," I respond pointing to the bush that they're behind.
The lady runs with a bat! To the bush and sports them cursing at them, "You bloody stupid kids, you have no respect! I was sleeping!" She shouts swinging the bat around but not trying to hit them.
I laugh and so does Tyler as they run, Marcus can't use his vampire speed since she has seen him and we are trying to not use any vampire qualities. Well they are trying not to.
We follow them where they run down the street, "Marcus you and Shae are up," Sam says.
I groan and we walk to the door together, I ring the door bell and we start to run to a tree but Marcus pushes me, I end up tripping on my own feet and fall to the ground.
I grab his feet quickly but he escapes and uses his vampire speed to run to the tree, I quickly stand up just as a woman starts speaking.
"It is 12 at night child, learn respect!" I grimace and turn to her.
"Sorry," I sheepishly say, I smirk thinking of an idea. I sniffle, "I-it's just that my friend he has a horrible condition and we don't have enough money to get surgery for him, I was going to ask for some help, like 2 dollars or something."
Her face softens, "oh dear, what type of condition?" She asks.
I sniffle and let out a fake sob," he has an erectile dysfunction!" I cry out.
"A what!" I hear Marcus exclaim.
"Oh sweet heart that's terrible," she sympathetically hugs me.
"He's here actually, Marky why don't you come out? No need to be embarrassed," I smirk but then cover it with a wobbly smile.
"It's okay dear," the woman says.
Marcus comes out from behind the tree and glares at me, I smirk then place a hand over my heart.
"It's just terrible," I croak out.
"Oh it would be, are you okay darling?" She asks Marcus, he gives her a tight smile.
"Just peachy," he mutters.
"I would like to donate, I will be right back," she says walking inside, she comes back out with some money in her hands.
"You are so sweet...." I trail off.
"Amanda," she replies, "what's your name?"
"Shae."
"Such a beautiful name," she hands me a 50 dollar note!
"This is too much, two dollars will do," she waves me off.
"The poor boy needs it, I wish you all the best Marcus," she gives him a pity smile, waves then walks inside.
I wave the 50 dollar note in the air, then smirk tucking it into my pocket.
"And this Marcus Checherova is why you don't mess with Shae Valentine."

8 241The Ruined Monks of Rothfield Monastery
Erin is the youngest member of the dark monks; a supernatural brotherhood whose ultimate mission is to improve the dire circumstances of poor, war-torn villages using powers unique to each member. Or so he was led to believe. Erin, like his brothers, does not age, and that is, unfortunately, the only trait he shares with them. He cannot charm or compel like Woodrow, he cannot cast illusions like Knox, he was not swift like Swithin, not powerful like Blake. He was barely an assistant to his dear brother Wilbur, with his herbology and alchemy. He was told to lie low and make himself scarce. That is what he did. The dark monks temporarily reside in abandoned monasteries scattered around the country, feeding the poor and healing the sick, nurturing the monastic lands until it was fertile enough to raise crops and rear animals. As the years passed, they would leave these reformed, repopulated, self-sustaining monasteries and venture froth to help the next settlement. Yet, after years of toiling and quiet servitude, Erin notices that people and the country itself are declining. The villagers look gaunt, the once-lush soil now barren and cracked. He begins to feel disheartened, thinking that their mission is proving futile. Still, their leader Blake is steadfast and charges onward, and lately has his eyes set on a certain monastery in a thick, thorned forest that seems to diminish, even nullify their powers. A thick forest that Erin somehow has a connection to. A thorned glade where an ethereal voice calls his name with one simple request along with a promise:Heal the land, child. Heal the land and I promise to give you sanctuary so long as you stay. I promise to nurture you as you nurture me. As Erin cultivates the land, the land, in turn, gifts all its caretakers with new, enhanced skillsets on top of their unique powers -- skills of protection, healing, and magic. Magic. Erin had long wished to see the world fill with it again. The people, regardless of common or noble blood, still believe that magic will enter this world again. Magic to bless the king like it did the Saints. Magic to dispel the miasma befouling the world. Magic to bring back the fae folk and their many forms. It is up to Erin to forge the many paths leading to a bright future; to build a prosperous paradise that welcomes all races and bloodlines, by mastering the rewards gained through agriculture, horticulture, and animal husbandry, smithing, crafting, and fishing. Erin may also find a lifelong friendship and romance with his neighbor, Claude, if he decides to pursue him, and may even join him in the military campaign outside the monastery. The darkness still lurks outside, after all, and the mastery of his skills, along with a few good friends, may finally be enough to turn the tide in their favor. Most of all, Erin wants to keep the vow he set for himself: to protect everyone and everything he loves until his dying breath.
