Fanged

Not a post about Nendos or anything to do with BRS. I just needed a picture and I had no particular post for this snapshot of BRS using yet another spare faceplate.

A few nights ago, Other-Me was floting down the river. She was trying to hold up a young child afloat, but the current was strong. She knew that the pursuers weren't far behind her. She needed to get out of the water, and quickly please.

Then I spotted a rescuer. Or he spotted me, more likely. He was squatting at a lookout post of some kind, looked more like a tent though. And he promised to save the girl, to protect her or maybe just give me the means to protect her. But he needed a price. My life.

He looked like a young man, maybe 25ish. His hair was fluffy and light caramel blond (thinking of Crobi Tei's default look here, but the Dyuke a few posts back is also a good reference). I could not fully make out his features in the darkness of the night, but he was smiling. It was a smile that was not particularly gentle or kind, but was meant to be disarming. I knew what he was: a vampire. And I agreed to the pact.

While the girl was still somehow stuggling with the current, trying to forbid me from doing this, I was lying down on the tent floor, with that blond man still smiling viciously at me. Another vampire was also there, a woman who looked to be about 35ish. She was conducting the ceremony, which for the most parts was totally lost to me, since I was focusing on what was going to happen to me. I could smell the incences burning though. The woman asked if I was sure of my choice. I told them to just get it over with, which seemed to amuse the man to no end. He bowed down to me, and whispered something I can't really remember anymore. And sunk his teeth onto my neck.

I've bled before in my dreams, and it is always a strange sensation. There isn't any actual pain, just a sense of liquid flowing. I didn't actually even feel like I was dying. I felt him gulping my blood and I was feeling weaker, but when he was done, I still had plenty of energy to demand that they hold onto their end of the bargain. That made the man laugh. But they did save the girl. It was the last I saw of her. But now I had other troubles of my own.

Having drunk blood from the man, I was now a newborn vampire myself. I had asked the man what sort of abilities I'd have after the transformation, but very Lestatishly he just replied that the abilities varied between vampires. He could fly himself. I hoped that would be the case for me too.

Unlike most vampire legends tell, we could walk in the sun. I could even eat regular food, albeit only a little and the plate of french fries I did have almost made me puke. And how did I know this? Because for some reason, we went right from the intense chase scene into a bistro at the center of my home city. I have no idea how I got there, but sitting at the next table was a young blond vampire woman from whome I was trying my best to pick up tips on how to be a proper vampire and not be found out to be one.

I really hope that this dream could continue, since vampires have always been one of my interests. Starting from Rydiger, going onto Lestat and beyond. Actually, now that Rydiger ahs been brought up, the mystery-vampire-man actually could be Rydiger in his twenties or something :D Aww, now I have an itch to reread those books again...

I have no vampire dolls and actually have never even wanted one. It would be quite hard to do something original with the concept. I love vampires with an old-age feel (Lestat with the velvet coat <3), but I don't like the idea of owning a doll with that look, since the down-sclaed clothing just rarely looks as good... So I'd have to go with a modern vamp, without dressing it in all gothic blacks like most of the vampire dolls out there. See my dilemma? Well, the man in my dream would make a nice doll, with the natural casual clothes and the carefree hair. I just have no idea of what he actually looks like. Right now I picture him with a face mashed together from Fyrd and LeBrant, but that would just be another Demetri...

Thenagain, I haven't needed a vampire doll to like vampires :D I'll just hope that one night Other-Me meets the mystery vampire again.
