Waking Up After These Nightmares

Promises are meant to be broken unless it's family… and my brother promised me a long time ago… to free me from my cage… or the house arrest itself from my abusive father when he comes back home, and it has been 5 years…

In early December 2020, my brother arrived in the Philippines.

He took me too far away from the City, and next is America.

The Devil, The Fool, Death, The World… 4 cards, past present future outcome!

In our recent messages, he will take me to a psychic. Or somewhat an exorcist… I declined.

So, he took me out of the City to a genuine psychic instead of an exorcist that would stake me down the heart.

He will take me to a psychic and tell the psychic not to put this on television in exchange for my freedom.

"Hello Dela Cruz. I have been 'dining' to meet you…."

"You mean dying?"

"Literally dining. People's blood. I read every article, read every book, read every inspiration, and watched all of your videos in one night."

"Oh, I see. You must be really interested. Sit with me."

"Thank you for your invitation."

"This is not an invitation; I'm just asking you to sit."

"Invitations are important for a vampire moral code."

"Oh, your brother did tell me about that, but like you said there will be no crosses, crucifix, priests, exorcists, exorcism, garlic, silver, holy water, and all that as your conditions will not fail, you will not cause any harm."

"A vampire never lies, but only says the truth through the words of illusion."

"Alright, hold hands with me."

We held each other's hands.

Checkmate in 4 moves in Chest, the Queen's Gambit 4 moves.

"I'm a vampire. Lamia, Vampir. Vampyr. Bampira, Kyuuketsuki. You name it."

I took one of my tarot cards.

"The High Priestess they call you,, huh? Bullshit, I'm more than just a psychic myself. I'm a pagan vampire. Both hybrid of Sanguine and Psychic Feeder. If you wish to continue, your powers will automatically deliver to mine if I open my energy. Since it has been always blocked, no psychic or witches can cast spells on me to know the truth about, me Mr Dela Cruz…."

He did the sign of the cross and reached for his crucifix.

"You make me laugh. But as I promised my brother, I will not hurt you. Take away that cross or I will reach off limits… I'm thirsty for blood that hasn't fed over a month…."

"You're… interesting…."

I made some chess moves through mind games, and he lost to the point he lost his sanity and wanted me to be his master and be my servant for all eternity.

"Now... for my order of demand. Show this on Television…"

"Master Voltaire…" he went to my brother. "Mr Gie! He is not what you think, he is to be served more than God himself! He is the Devil himself! Please… if you wish, you have to give him as much blood as he needs!!! Or else… he will destroy all human kind."

"I thought Klei was acting delusional at first… I never thought… this could be actually true…."

"Please, feed him as much blood as he can! I do not wish for him to be hurt. The demon inside of him is too strong!!! Nothing can cure him!" Dela Cruz pleaded to beg my brother, kneeling as he prayed.

…

…

…

"So, you ARE a vampire… what happened? Tell me, how did it happen?" my brother said quietly as he drove carefully.

"Big Brother Gie Tam. I did tell you 10 years ago I was turned into a vampire."

"You do know that was caught on television, but is that okay with you? We needed some money for that."

"It's fine. As long as that money comes to me because I'm the main protagonist."

"More like… the antagonist. Dela Cruz never snapped like that before in his whole life and yet… I don't even know."

"Mr Renfield is his name now. He is one of me."

"You didn't even bite him, did you?"

"No, I did nothing. It was automatic."

He sighed, "So… blood, you want pig's blood?"

"If it's not fresh and barely rotten, I will die. Or just puke it out to survive from the poison."

"I see. Okay, let's drive back home. We have a new home where Dela Cruz's city lives. Because I thought he can help you throughout your life. Never thought I'd be disappointed."

"Indeed so, now you know my true power."

"Yeah…" he tried to lighten the mood, "Want to go eat Pizza Klei? Heh..."

"Sure! I would love a feast of pizza."

"So… how did you become a vampire in the first place? Tell me everything and I will even give you Deathwish coffee."

"Hontoni?! Hurray! Alright."

"Good boyo~"

"10 Years ago, I met a vampire, and more vampires came to my life since I was 11 until I got dropped out of high school to go to the mental asylum."

"And?"

"I was bitten by someone I don't know yet. Or I will never know it."

"So, it's not mental illness, you're just you… I won't give you medications anymore if you wish."

"I only need Prozac."

"Prozac? The stimulant?"

"Makes me awake for a few more hours in the day."

"Alright. We're here. Like as I promised, you have a new home, you have me and myself only, just the two of us, and of course, your absolute freedom."
