What the hell? What is going on? I can not move! I am tied! Mmm! Mmm! And I am gagged too! I open my eyes. These 2 men are standing in front of me. A robbery? But why their skin is so pale? And their eyes… Oh no… It can not be… They are… Beware what you wish for. I wanted to see the vampires and looks like I’ve got much more then I ever bargained for.
- Hi, my name is Benoit, said a first guy with a strong French accent. His eyes were crazy
- Jack – simply said another one. Enchanté, I am really happy to meet you.
- Sorry we had to gag you – continued Benoit. – But I think we both know what you are trying to say, right, Jack?
- Mmmm…
- Yes, she is trying to say “Oh-please-don’t-kill-me-I-will-do-everything-you-want-I don’t-want-to-die-please-let-me-go” – he said without any intonation and pauses. “You see, we saved you lot of time, and you don’t need to repeat it”.
- Now, girl, I will explain why I am here. I have nothing personal against you. Actually, I even don’t know your name. But you are going to die. Yes, you are young and beautiful. Like my Aurelie. She was… perfect. She looked like as young as you… even she was more then 4 centuries old. She remembered everything… from the époque of the Roi-Soleil, up to the modern times. She was an amazing woman. And your father gave her a final death. The whole world with music, memories, feelings is gone, is just burnt to ashes.
Benoit closed his eyes and stopped. The strange thing I was not frightened. May be because I did not understand it was happening to me. Yes, people can get killed, but it is me, I can not die, I am so young. My father will come at the last moment to save me… Dad, where are you?
Benoit continued:
- I still can not believe she is gone. And your father will pay for that. At first, I wanted to simple kill him. But a suffering is proportional to the level of pain multiplied by the length of suffering. I want him to feel the same I felt when I lost Aurelie. Now, please, forgive me. I notice a knife in his hand. Finally, I understand it is real. No, I don’t want to die! Ropes are so tight… it is in vain… No! No! Suddenly Benoit stopped and closed his eyes again.
- Do you think it is better? – he said to someone.
- Yes, much better.
- Quite interesting. But… It is illegal? And the Prince…
- Will be forgiven?
- Yes, all the data. 50 gigobytes.
“Sorry for a delay” – said his sarcastic companion. “My friend is a Malkavian, so he has some voices in his head”.
Benoit opened his eyes. “Where were we? Oh, yes, I was going to kill you. But I change the plan. You still have to die, but… it will be different… And I think you will like it”
He kisses me, and suddenly I feel his teeth on my neck. I try to cry, but I still have a gag in my mouth. I try to struggle, but I become weaker and weaker. My vision is blurry. I feel… cold… now… only… darkness
