It had been 3 long years since Erevis Belmont had left his families ancestral home to battle the evil of Dracula and his minions. Erevis pulled the hood down to conceal his features and stepped forward to knock 3 booming times upon the hard oaken door. A maid answered and asked, rather abruptly, who was he to come knocking at this time of night. "Go find your Master girl. Tell him his son, Erevis, has returned." The maid's eyes widen and she curtsied, before scurrying off up the stairs. Erevis chuckles softly at her timidness. Walking inside he paused to admire the beautiful works of art covering the walls and columns. I have missed this place, he thought to himself. Walking to the left of the entryway he came into the kitchen and poured himself a glass of chilled wine. Charles Belmont lifted his head from his writing table at the soft knock. No longer a young man, the gray-haired warrior now spent his days cataloguing the monsters he had seen and defeated in his younger days, in hopes that future generations of Belmont's could have some bit of lore about their enemy and hopefully a record to help ease the task of their destruction. "Come in.", he said, his voice still a gentle bass. The maid came in, "My lord, I am sorry to interrupt your writings, but a young man claiming to be your son, Erevis, is downstairs." Charles needed to hear no more, leaping from the desk he strode passed Maria and headed downstairs as fast as his old legs would carry him. To think after all this time without a letter or tidings, His son had returned!! , Alive and hopefully well. Charles felt several tears run down his face. Erevis had been mourned as being killed by the forces of evil. Charles hurried into the main entry, his eyes straying to the slight bits of dirt leading to the kitchen. Stepping up, he banged the door open. Erevis leaped to his feet as the door banged open whirling and drawing his blade in one motion. Seeing only his aged father he slipped the blade back into its sheath and sat back down with his wine. Charles, after a moment of shock, walked over and put his arm on his son's shoulder. Erevis lifted the glass of blood-red wine and finished it in one gulp. Charles noticing something wrong with his son moved to close the door and moved to sit across from Erevis. "Tell me of your adventures son. You must have passed through hell and back." Erevis placed the glass back down on the table and slowly slid his hood back to reveal bloody irises and the tips of two small fangs showing under his upper lip. "You can say I have been to the gates of Hell itself Father." Erevis said in a soft voice, "and beyond!" Charles fell back with a gasp, "My God son! What has happened to you?" "I was t-turned.... about 2 years ago.", Erevis said allowing his hood to fall back on his shoulders. "You must tell me of this my son.", Charles said filling two glasses with wine, sure that before this tale was over they would need more. "It is getting late father.", Erevis said looking to the window. "I must retire to sleep soon. I had thought the cellar would be a nice enough place for my rest?" "Of course Erevis. Go and find some peace in your rest. I will see you when you awaken for the night.", Charles said shakily. Erevis nodded once and strode from the kitchen heading to the cool darkness of the cellars to sleep during the sunlit hours. Charles sat there a few moments, horrified at what had happened to his son, he lifted the wine glass and downed it in a single swallow, then after a moment he took its companion and downed it as well, before heading to his room to try and get a bit of rest. The following night found Charles and Erevis seated in Charles's study. Erevis had a water skin Charles hadn't noticed the night before and drank from it sparingly. Charles sat back in the chair behind his desk, waiting for Erevis to relive the nightmare of the last three years. Erevis placed the skin at his side, then a bit hesitantly; he began to recount what had happened to him on his travels. Erevis' Story After I left the castle, I headed north to the village to gather some supplies and see if there were any rumors of the Children of the Night. One old man said there was another village about 75 miles to the west that had been having strange disappearances in the night and horrible sounds coming from the forest just north of there. I thanked him for the information and made my way towards Hampford. It was a small village, maybe a couple hundred people living and farming the surrounding fields. As I rode in the people fled from me, terror evident in their faces. After some doing I managed to get an old woman to talk with me. Her voice quavered and cracked as she spoke, at one point she broke down and cried in my arms. According to her several months before people had began disappearing. At first it was only when they were outside during the moonlit hours. As time went on, however, people were taken from their beds while they slept, to the horror and sorrow of there loved ones the following morning. At this Erevis paused, his breathing coming slowly for several moments as he took another sip from the skin. Charles took a drink from his mug of coffee as Erevis continued. No doubt I was dealing with actions brought on by the minions of evil. I thanked the old woman and assured her I would handle the ones responsible for these kidnappings. I turned and headed for the center of the village; behind me I could hear her shouting prayers for me and my good deeds for her village. Arriving at the center, I walked into the church to have a word with the friar that resided there. I told him what I had planned and he readily agreed to aid my cause. Together we spent the rest of that day putting together vials of holy water and wooden stakes. He showed me to a small cot where i could rest from my long journey and prepare myself for the hunt the following morning. When I awoke, the sun was shining in through a small window. I gathered up my weapons and headed for the door. Before I left the friar stopped me, laying a prayer upon my sword and wished me a safe hunt. Striding outside I climbed up onto my horse and set off towards the forest. What a foul and disgusting place it was. I was forced to leave my horse and walk before I had ridden ten feet into it. Her eyes rolled wildly and she snorted. Something evil laired within and she knew it. I drew my sword and started hacking through the underbrush. Here his voice cracked and he fell silent for a moment, pain etched on his face. Charles sat back wondering what horror had done this to his son. Erevis took a deep breath, then continued. I waded through the forest, a dark and terrible dread building in the pit of my stomach. Where were the animals? No birds nested in those dark and twisted trees. Truly this was a forest mired in death. I heard a noise from the left. I turned to face it...but n-nothing was there. That's when the trap sprung. Something struck me in the back of my head. I-I must have blacked out. Later, hours? days? I do not recall. I awoke in a stone room with a barred door. It was musty and dank, dark things skittered among the shadows. My weapons and armor had been stripped; I was left only with a cotton cloth to cover myself. A chill permeated the cell.... the chill of death and evil. I sat there, on that damp stone floor, I still do not know how long. After a time the door opened and two men rushed in to grab me. I struggled, Gods how I struggled, but they had supernatural strength. It wasn't hard to determine they were nosferatu, the living dead. A woman came in and I felt my will melt away. I sagged in their arms as she approached, it was as if a spell had come over my body, crushing what strength and resolve I had left, her lips parted revealing her gleaming fangs, darkness took me as I felt her bite into my neck, my last thought, death had finally come to claim me. Erevis paused, unconsciously rubbing the left side of his neck; Charles could see a pinprick from the vampiress' fangs. What followed were several days of the most hellish nightmares one could have and stay sane. My blood boiled as the venom forced its way through my veins, transforming me into one of her ilk. Slowly the pain receded, and my captors returned with a scantily clad young girl, her eyes were glazed over; her spirit had long since been beaten and tortured from her body. Laughing, one stabbed a pair of holes into her neck and threw her to the floor in front of me. At first, my thoughts were of how I could vanquish the two guards and rescue this poor girl...but then...pulsating...I could hear it, a soft tha-thump sound.... growing louder to my ears...then the smell of blood came to me...at once I was repulsed. Yet hunger tore through my body. The pulsating quickened...my hunger grew...raging like some kind of bonfire...I needed something...anything to cure this madness tearing through my body...without knowing I had grabbed her and was licking the blood from her neck...my stomach lurched I needed blood I realized!! Horrified, I tried to push her away. Yet I could not. The next thing I knew her soft life's blood was flowing down my throat as I hungrily gnawed at her tender flesh. Finally the hunger abated, her body drained. The guards took her body and dragged it out and then the mysterious woman made her appearance, the door closing and being locked behind her. At this Erevis choked off, his voice cracking under the strain of memories resurfacing in his mind. He took the skin and drank from it, then wiped a tear from one eye. Charles felt a moment of sadness for his son, to have endured such torments and horror. If only that had been all, but Charles felt in his heart that the horror inflicted upon his son had yet to be finished. She spoke then; her voice was husky and made my heart leap into my throat, such a beauty yet devoted to evil. She told me she was the Master of this cadre of vampires and that now I was to be her slave. With that she put her hand to my throat and lifted me as easily as if I were a babe. My eyes widened at her power, through her touch I felt an ages old power flowing through her veins, I knew this foe was more powerful than any I had ever seen...maybe even as powerful as Dracula himself. Smirking up at me she dropped me back to the floor and opened her robe revealing soft creamy flesh beneath. I tried to look away, but her power compelled my mind forcing my eyes to admire her full breasts and the soft patch of blonde fur above her cleft. As I sat there, spellbound, she parted her legs and a gleaming drop of dew fell from between them. Come to me she said, and I captivated crawled to kneel before her. Taking my head in her hand she dug her nail into the soft underside of my chin. I gasped at the pain, yet for some reason it felt good. Wasting no time at all she pulled my face to her flower and began to rub it up and down my face. I tried to resist but the air was getting so hot in the cell.... something.... a strange smell wafted in....it awoke a carnal beast within me...I cared nothing for anything but pleasing her.... and please her I did. Somewhere in my mind I watched helpless through glazed eyes as my tongue began to caress her, running up and down the petals of her flower, to swirl about the soft rose bud at the top. The vampiress let out a moan, roughly jerking my head and pressing her rosebud past my lips, grinding herself against me. I could feel the cloth slip to one side as my member, excited at the dampness of her tender flesh strained and bulged upwards. Seeing this, she forced me down onto my back, and lowered herself onto me, taking me deep inside herself. Waves of pleasure rolled through my body as she began to roll her hips over my organ, her breasts swayed above me as she moved. Reaching up my hands found her, rubbing and fondling her soft pink nipples. Leaning down, she pressed them into my face and I opened my mouth to caress one with my tongue, in doing so I felt the sharp tip of a fang touch it...anger tore through me and I did the only thing I could think of. I bit down into the soft flesh over her breast. And she laughed and only rode me harder. Truly she was a sinful thing, but I could not restrain it any longer, my orgasm exploded inside her and I feel back, my body feeling drained and tired. She pulled herself from me and turned to lie atop me, her lips engulfed my flesh, I was amazed at how she used her tongue and fangs to skillfully bring it back to its previous firmness. I couldn't think of the matter further, for at that moment her loins begin a grinding dance on my face, smearing the remnants of our love making over my face. I took my tongue and used it as best I could, straining to catch her and impale her with it. Suddenly her orgasm took her and my mouth was flooded with her sweet nectar. She lay there atop me for a moment then she stood and looked down at me laying there, covered with juices from us both, I think you are going to do quite nicely as my slave. At that a strong compulsion came over my mind and I found myself saying Yes Mistress. To my horror, I found that it felt pleasant to say that to her. Smiling a small secretive smile she walked out and the door slammed shut behind her. I lay down and slept. The next day? night?, I could no longer say since I could not see the sun from my prison, my guards returned with a shirt and pair of breeks, slipping them on I was led to a dimly lit throne room, in the center was a gaudy looking gold throne, best with many gems, likely plundered from various places. Upon it sat my temptress and seducer, she later told me her name was Katerina, but I was to call her Mistress till she said otherwise. She commanded me to kneel beside her throne, and like a cowardly dog I went and kneeled beside her. Revulsion at what I had become filled my mind...as well as a slight hunger. I realized that soon I must need feed this blood Thirst. Kat smirked, somehow knowing my hunger was growing with the passing hours. Don't worry my pet; tonight you will have your fill. I was skeptical of this. What atrocities did she have planned for me? I was soon to find out. For not long after she stood and motioned for me to follow...alone. We walked through dark passages. I can't remember how far we were underground. Finally we arrived to a large room. I knew before entering that it was going to be unpleasant...from the moans coming piteously from inside. Inside were.... perversions of every nature. Women, and some men, chained to the walls, strapped to tables, in every sort of twisted perverted position Katerina could devise...all for her to get her sick and perverted pleasures from. At this Erevis gripped the arm of his chair tightly, his face twisted into a grim rictus. Charles was horrified when the arm was ripped off. Truly his son had obtained the nosferatu's supernatural strength. Erevis took another swallow from the half-empty skin. Charles was hesitant to ask what it contained inside. Erevis closed his eyes for a moment and then continued the horrific tale. Kat led me to a bed where lay a beautiful farm girl, her eyes wide at some unknown terror she perceived was about to be inflicted.... or maybe it wasn't a terror about to be performed.... Yes! That was it for the air began to fill with that sweet cloying scent and my loins twitched in response. I could see the soft red lips between the girls thighs begin to glisten at her arousal. Without a word Kat began to strip her clothing away, almost by themselves my hands started to remove my clothing as well. Around me I could hear the moans and groans of the other prisoners, their bodies in the throes of passion. Kat obviously liked to hear them moaning and aching for a release while she pleasured herself with one of their number. Saying nothing to me, she climbed onto the bed and straddled the girl's face. At once the girl buried her tongue into Kat's creamy slit and began to furiously thrust in. I climbed onto the bed, my organ throbbing with need, again that carnal beast rose within me, straining for freedom, dominating my mind. I almost leaped to the bed coming down between the girl's thighs. I looked up as her tongue ran up to Kat's nether opening and snake its way inside, eliciting a panting moan from the vampiress. Without another thought I bent my head and parted the girls lips exposing her gleaming red inner flesh and running my tongue across it. The girl squeaked at my touch and began to moan as she reamed out Katerina. Laying myself down I began to slide my tongue past her creamy lips tasting her dew flowing freely into my mouth. Kat turned herself so the girl could get in deeper and my eyes ran up her body, watching as her hands ran across her breasts, the small claws of her fingers tracing across the fang marks where I had bitten her. Looking down she smirked and asked if I liked watching this girl licking her. I nodded burrowing my tongue deep inside the girl, rewarded with a flood as her orgasm tore through her young body. Kat laughed as I pulled my face away, motioning me forward to kiss her. And kiss we did. My body tingled and throbbed when her lips pressed to mine, my loins ached for the embrace of her flesh. Pulling away from the girl, Katerina laid back on the bed. And I went to her. Hungrily I buried my rigid flesh inside her, thrusting like a man possessed. Over and over I plunged myself into her depths, her head was back and she was panting. Much to my surprise the farm girl got up and pressed herself to Kat's lips kissing her eagerly. And then she straddled the vampire's face and began to ride her!! This only fueled my ardor and I began to pound myself into her. I watched as a drop of blood ran its way down Katerina's chin and realized she must have bitten the girl in her most intimate of places. And the girl liked it! Moaning she rocked her hips over the vampire's darting tongue and fangs her juices and blood mingling.... making my hunger ache within me. I was horrified that I was becoming as perverted and disgusting as the vampiress...yet at the same time a joy was filling me. Kat pushed the girl away and bade me kneel on the bed. I moved to comply and she and the girl got to their knees, playfully fighting over which would get to lick and caress my throbbing member. I kneeled there as first one then the other wrapped their lips around me and gave me sweet pleasure. While one was using her lips and tongue to suck on me the other let her tongue slip down below, to caress and fondle my balls. Truly no man could take such treatment for very long and I was no exception. Throwing my head back I let out a moaning roar as thick ropes spurted from the tip covering both girl's faces and mouths. I collapsed back, such an orgasm it was! My body was utterly spent. Weakly I noted the Thirst upon me...the need for blood strong...I thought I would die...I was too weak to feed myself. How could I get the blood needed for my unholy existence? Katerina solved the problem for me. Leaning her head between the girl's thighs she bit deeply into her tender flesh. The girl, apparently used to this, straddled my head and rubbed herself over my lips. Hungrily I swallowed the blood and juices running into my mouth. Katerina pleased with this settled herself down to suck and lick at my blood-filled organ. Soon the hunger left me, the girls movements atop my face had grown weak. Slowly she toppled to one side drifting to sleep. Katerina looked up at me, her mouth full of my stiffened member. I watch, unsure of what was to happen. And that's when I felt it.... her fang bit into the soft under flesh of my organ. Blood flowed from the wound into her mouth; her head bobbed up and down, pleasure rolled through me. Yet pain also as blood flowed out into her mouth. It wasn't long before I orgasmed. And in some sort of grim cocktail, she swallowed it and the blood, and then licked to wound magically healing it with her black arts. I lay there as she crawled up my body and pressed her lips to mine. I could taste blood and myself upon her lips.... but I no longer cared. My eyes fell closed and I slept... This went on for months...by day we slept.... by night Katerina pursued the pleasures of the flesh. And I followed willingly. Finally an opportunity presented itself...my strength had increased with the more victims I drained. One day we were in the pleasure chamber...she led me across it to a muscular man chained to the wall. Going to her knees she began to suck him, cupping his balls in her hand as her lips glided up and down his shaft. Moving behind her I kneeled and slid my tongue across her firm buttocks. I had learned by then that this was a favored pleasure of hers. She licked, sucked, and teased the man, bringing him achingly close to orgasm then stopping and letting it recede. Finally she stood and lifted her left leg and wrapped it around his waist. Then in one motion she impaled herself on his member as her fangs bit lightly into his neck. Turning she beckoned me to enter her from behind. I stood and went to her, sheathing myself into her tightened nether region. The man by now had grabbed her hips and was beginning to thrust into her, forcing her back onto my impaling spike. Not to be outdone I began to thrust into her as well, as one we three moved back and forth, one entering as one left, bouncing her back and forth between us. Katerina moaned deep in her throat, obviously loving the way we were doing her. I leaned close and sunk my fangs into her neck and drank deeply of her blood and essence. As always however, she stopped me before I drank very much, pushing my head back. The three of us remained like this, tied together by our lust and sex. The male was the first to orgasm, filling her flower with his hot seed. Katerina soon followed collapsing against his chest, I continued to pound into her from behind, my own orgasm fast approaching...Katerina was panting...my chance.... I must be free!!...I thrust in deeply filling her with my seed. Katerina sagged between us...the males hanging from the chains.... quickly now.... I looked around.... something.... ANYTHING.... I had to destroy this perverted she-devil of lusts and carnal delights.... I spied something on a table nearby...She never was this careless.... she only tortured them when I was elsewhere.... never in my sight.... but still.... always before...the tools of her trade had been kept hidden.... my chance had come.... reaching out I grabbed the cruelly barbed instrument and jammed it into her back, thrusting it into her foul heart. Katerina let out a wail, her body turning to dust, as I pulled myself from her and looked around wildly for some kind of weapon to use against her minions. I felt a loss at her death...but then oddly I felt...stronger. More vitality than I had ever known flowed through my veins. I had somehow taken her power as my own. Strengthening myself. Enhancing my body and mind. I was Master now!! Taking the instrument from the pile of ash, I looked around at the rest of the prisoners. Who would be free of this and return to their families? Several got wild fanatic gleams in their eyes and started struggling against their chains as if to attack me, three however began to yell for me to free them so they could return to their loved ones. And free them I did, taking the lead we began a grim march through the passages of the old temple, for a temple it had once been, I knew there was at least half a dozen lesser vampires that served her, but I had her power now, and they could not stop me. What followed was a grisly macabre slaughter. One by one, we came upon them, in various positions of rest and repose. And one by one I slaughtered them. I tore one apart with my bare hands, As we went we secured weapons for myself and the other man, the two females held back with rude clubs made of table legs I had wrenched free. Finally we arrived at the entrance and a gleam of sunshine fell through a crack in the door. I knew I could not leave so I bade the three returns to their village and live their lives in peace and happiness. They praised me and begged me to come with them. I could not bear to tell them I was of kin with their captors. Finally they fled and I spent the day in exploration of the vampire lair. I found myself the armor and weapons you saw me wearing last night. And the hooded cloak to conceal my features. And then I left the den; I had discovered fodder for horses inside the main entryway and soon located a trio of horses sheltered in one of the rooms. As soon as the sun was down I stood at the entrance and I fell to my knees beseeching God to purge this foul den of evil. I don't know what it was that happened. One moment the sky was dark with night, the stars shining, and then as if the Almighty had unleashed his entire wrath a mighty thunderstorm sprang into being. I leaped onto the horse and rode as if my life depended on it. And depend on it, it most surely did. For as I rode away I heard a loud booming, looking back I saw lightning bolt after lightning bolt raining down on the temple, burning and scouring the rock as it collapsed in upon itself. After that I fled back towards here. Spending my days secluded in darkened inn rooms or caves. Wherever I could find respite from the sun's piercing cleansing gaze. Finally I have found my way back home. Charles sat back, amazed at his son's trials, "You have done well son." Erevis looked up at his father, "Then you aren't upset at what has happened to me?" "How can I be? God has given you this test to prove you were worthy to be called a Belmont. You defeated a foe far greater than any I encountered. And you triumphed! I am proud of you my son." Charles got up and walked around the desk, putting his arm on Erevis' shoulders, "Come the sunlight is soon to rise and you must be in the cellar." "No Father." Erevis replied standing up to face the his father, "I-I came back to ask that you slay me. I have lived through hell and back. And I have defeated a den of evil vampire...but I am one of the cursed ones now. And I ask that you set me free of this curse." Charles looked at his son, sadness in his eyes, "If that is your wish, my son, then I pray God have mercy on your tormented soul and finds a place for you at his side in Heaven." with that Charles walked to the desk and lifted a silver dagger blade from its resting place. Erevis nodded, acceptance to his fate, and embraced his father. Charles embraced his son tightly; tears streaming freely down his face. As the morning sun began to shine through the window of the study, Charles Belmont slid his dagger through his son's back and into his heart. As the cleansing sun rose higher, Erevis' body began to burn leaving bits of ash on his fathers arm. Charles fell to his knees as all that remained of his son turned to ash before him. Maria coming in to announce breakfast, saw her Lord on his knees before a pile of ash, and turns wiping tears from her eyes, already knowing what it had come to. Charles got to his feet, the hilt of the dagger digging into the flesh of his hand. This war is only begun now...he thought to himself...hatred filling his mind. But righteous anger flooding his heart... Thus did God gain a new holy warrior to his order in heaven, as well as a father's undying faith in Him down upon the Earth. This account has been written and documented by Justin Belmont in the year 1939, twenty years after the death of my elder brother Erevis, upon the day of my entrance into manhood. I write these so future generations of Belmont's may know of my brother's trials and sacrifices, so that they never forget what it is we are fighting for. March 23, 1939 -Justin BelmontWith that Justin closed the ledger and looked upon the wall at the picture of his mother, Maria, sitting next to his father, Charles. Bowing his head with respect to his parents, Justin stood and walked to the couch against the wall of the study, pulling on the armor that Erevis had taken from the lair. Walking from the study he paused long enough to strap the 10-ft long bullwhip with its silver tip to his side.... and set forth to continue the work of his father and brother...
