Chapter 2

  “ MI hija ( my daughter) ”

  She wept.

  “ MI hija, MI hija! ”

  She wept even more.

  Then she turned shapely to facing Damian.

  “ ASESINO (murderer ) ” She screamed at him.

  “ ASESINO ASESINO!.. ”

  She screamed even more.

  “ no, no, no, no, ”

  Eric said he didn't understand what she was saying but he knew it couldn't be something good.

  He watched in horror as she brought out a small knife from her cloth, her eyes reflecting her great anger.

  “ please put that away, I didn't do anything to her, this is a big mistake...My God... ”

  he explained backing away gradually.

  But then he was shocked as the old woman used the knife on herself, she slit open her right wrist and blood flowed from it down to the sandy floor.

  “ Vida Sangre Luna, Vida Sanger Luna, Vida Sanger Luna...” she started chanting.

  Eric didn't know what she was saying but then he remembered what one of the native girls had said to him.

  * life, blood and moon. *

  he recalled.

  She was praying to their gods, the moon god...then it struck him, she was sacrificing herself to the gods!

  She continued with her chants but then she started adding some strange words to it that Damian couldn't understand.

  “ Vida Sangre luna

  Te maldigo por la eternidad

  caminar por la tierra

  solo en la cara de la luna

  sin saber nada más que sangre. ”

  As soon as she said the last word she slit her own throat with the knife and she fell on top of the corpse of daughter... dead.

  “ Noooooo! "

  Damian screamed in shock...

  immediately she took her life, the whole place became really windy and a rain cloud started forming up in the sky, bringing loud, violent thunder and lightning with it.

  The heavy wind blew open the whole tent... Then Eric Damian started to feel immense pain in his head and a sharp pain in his heart

  “ Ahhhhhhhhhhh! "

  He screamed out in pain.

  The pains were so shaped and painful that he lost consciousness, falling to the ground...

  Some distance away the festival was still forth going despite the change of weather, Eric two friends were having too much fun with the local girls to notice that their friend had gone missing...

  After a long time Eric finally regained consciousness, picking himself up he wondered what just happened to him.

  The pain was gone, he no longer felt any pain in his head nor heart... in fact he didn't feel any pain whatsoever, he felt great, reborn.

  He discovered his senses were 100 times better than before, he could now see clearly in the dark, his nose was picking up the scent and smell of things miles away.

  His skin had become pale, almost pure white, his eyes clear blue but kept changing sometimes to reddish brown and yellowish black as the case may be.

  He turned around to look at the two dead corpses - the old woman corpse  laying on top of the girl's corpse.

  Damian felt great sorrow and pity, mother and daughter dead on the same day and he felt responsible for that.

  He made to lift the dead woman off the body of the girl, putting the amount of force he thinks would be necessary to do so but he found the woman weightless, way too light like her body was made out of feathers.

  Has she all of a sudden becoming weightless or was it that he had become way too strong he contemplated.

  Just then like a great headache he felt a great and uncontrollable urge to eat, but his hunger was not for the normal food, No! It was for something different, he had a great hunger for blood - flesh human blood.

  Instinctively his nose picked up the scent of flesh blood from the crowd of people having a festive time some distance away and by this time Damian had lost control of himself, he just had only one thought on his head

  Blood! Blood and Blood!...

  At lightning speed Eric came out of the forest to the open plain where the festival was taking place.

  He was welcomed by one of the local girls who seemed to like him, she came flirting with him in hopes they would catch some fun together but she wasn't expecting what happened next...

  As she wrapped her arms around his neck biting her lower lips seductively Eric had his eyes that were now glowing  reddish brown fixed on the veins of her neck, it was like it was  calling his name so to speak

  Fed on me!

  Have a bite!

  He could feel his four canine teeth extending from inside his mouth until they became long sharp fangs.

  “ ahhhhhhhh! ”

  The girl screamed out loudly in pain as he sank his teeth into her neck sucking and squeezing the life out of her body and his eyes changing from reddish brown to dark red.

  Then he dropped her cold dead body on the floor moving to the next target -  a male who was busy trying to impress some ladies by lifting some hard stuff.

  Damian caught hold of him by the back of his head flinging him up high into the sky with so much ease... he landed hard on the ground after spending some time in the air.

  He was half dead upon impact but he could still see and he watched in horror as Damian marched to meet him.

  Growling he bent over and bit and sucked him dead.

  “ ahhhhhhhhh! ”

  The girls screamed and ran on seeing this.

  But they weren't fast enough as Eric Damian caught up with them all, sucking their very lives away.

  He kept dropping bodies as he moved cursing great chaos and panic throughout the festival location and town at large

  “ Monster! ”

  “ Devi!l ”

  “ Death! ”

  People yelled as they ran.

  Damian's thirst for blood was unending despite the number of dead people piling up; he wanted more.

  He was so quick it was as if he was in multiple places at once.

  Damain's two friends Christopher and Briana were on the run also they knew some kind of monster was killing people but they didn't know that the monster was actually their best friend Eric until they saw him in person, sucking the blood of his latest victim.

  At this point his clothes were completely covered with the blood stain of the people he had killed, his eyes looked like that of a killer yellowish black.

  “ my God Eric!! What happened to you? ”

  Christopher exclaimed in disbelief and total shock.

  “ that's not Eric.... That's the devil, ” Briana said in complete fear.

  Damian lifted his head up facing them.. then he stood up leaving the corpse, as he had made them his next targets.

  “ E..Eric stop, Eric stop Ericcccc! ” Christopher stuttered as he came at them in a manner that looked life threatening...

  BANG... BANG

  Someone shot at Damian, straight in the chest multiple times causing him to groan in pain but he didn't die.

  In Fact the bullets came out of his body and his wounds healed back up.

  Damian turned facing the person that shot at him with deadly stare

  It was one of the tourists, an American also. Eric Damian advanced towards him and the man opened fire again, shooting at him several times but it didn't harm Damian.

  “ Ahhhhhhhhhhh! "

  The man screamed out as Damian grabbed hold of him and bit on his neck sucking him dry.

  Christopher and Briana used that opportunity to run for their life....

  [ Somewhere close by ]

  The slaughtering was so great that something unexpected happened when the moon above became red.

  “ The great sacrifice! ”

  The Elder Chief exclaimed in awe.

  “ He's going to kill us all, ”

  one of the elders said panicking.

  “ I think I know how to stop him but I need volunteers, ” The Elder Chief said.

  Christopher and Briana wanted to help their friend so they volunteered.

  “ We want to help! "

  Both of them said, signifying themselves.

  “ Step forward foreigners, ” the Elder Chief announced and they did as told.

  Then he began chanting and also instructed others around to do the same, which they all did.

  “ Vida Sangre Luna, Vida Sangre Luna, Vida Sangre Luna

  Sálvanos Luna Dios, toma estas almas e intercambiarlos con un pecho matar esta sangre Succión monstruo ” the Elder Chief recited and everyone echoed along.

  Then all of a sudden Christopher and Briana started screaming in pains... and then they began, transforming, changing into some kind of beast...

  Eric Damian was still on a killing spree, no one was safe, not even the little kids, he killed them all.

  Damian had just finished drinking the blood of a child and her mother when he picked up a foul smell.

  Coming out from the hut he saw two strange fearsome creatures he had never seen before, they were large, the size of a bear but looked more like  a wolf, they had long, sharp claws and teeth.

  “ Roarrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr! "

  They roared loudly beating their chest in the process, trying to intimidate Damian but Damian wasn't  intimidated by this unusual beast.

  “ Roarrrrrrrrr! "

  Roaring back at them he ran towards them....
