Roomies?

As Marcellus was speeding home he kept having flashes of visions. In them, he was killing that officer over and over and over again. He was speeding because he was experiencing inner turmoil.

"I-I-I k-killed h-him" Stuttered Marcellus in a quiet voice. It sounded like he was trying to deny the reality of the situation he was in.

Marcellus couldn't think straight for the entirety of the ride home. He didn't even notice that he had pulled in his driveway.

As Marcellus was in his feelings, he suddenly heard his car door open. When he looked over he was shocked to find Alicia in the passenger seat staring at him.

"You" Marcellus said in a surprised voice as he jumped slightly and pointed his finger at Alicia.

Alicia seeing his reaction wanted to tease him a little.

"Yes, it's me and just so you know you got me pregnant, take responsibility" pouted Alicia as she tried to stop herself from laughing.

"..That's not possible, I'm a virgin'' replied Marcellus absentmindedly because of Alicia's presence.

"PFFT…..HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA" Alicia busted out laughing as she held her stomach.

Marcellus coming back to reality realized what he just said and got extremely embarrassed. So, like every self-respected virgin he deflected the conversation.

"What are you..what am I? Questioned Marcellus in a serious tone. A simple question containing so many more questions with complicated answers, indeed.

Alicia, hearing what he said, stopped laughing and explained.

"When you found me in that mansion I had just come back to life for the 23rd time. My father had decided to keep sending his goons to bring me back home, so I ran. When we got to the mansion I had just been killed for my 24th time against a knight ranked Everblood. You, being a human, I simply couldn't stop myself" sighed Alicia as she explained her circumstances.

"So..we are vampires…monsters?" asked Marcellus in a powerless tone.

"..Vampires, yes, monsters no, you can only be a monster when you decide to become one" replied Alicia in a chinding tone. She was angry at human ignorance but as long as her fledgling learned and decided to stop being so, she would be fine with him.

"Also you might not be a vampire yet" added Alicia.

"What do you mean?" asked Marcellus, this time in a curious tone. What Alicia said struck a chord with him. They were different from humans, instead of seeing this as a curse, he should see it in a neutral light.

"Well, to turn a human into a vampire the human has to have vampire blood in their system, then die, sorry that was my fault, then they become something called a fledgling, a half-vampire half human" explained Alicia.

"However, when that fledgling drinks human blood for the first time, they become a full vampire" finished Alicia.

Marcellus took in this information very fast, a perk of his ability, his brain can react and process things faster than a normal human or vampire, for that matter.

"..I killed someone, '' Marcellus revealed. He felt like if anyone would understand it would be Alicia.

"..First time?" asked Alicia in a soft tone knowing he was probably feeling very conflicted inside.

"Yes," replied Marcellus. As he said that he felt incredible waves of guilt flowing up and down his throat. So much so that he got out of the car and puked in the bushes.

".." Alicia just watched this, as she understood all too well.

As Marcellus got back in the car she looked at him seriously and gave him an offer.

"I can help you control the hunger. The need to feed on a human will always be there but you don't need to kill to survive. However, I will need something from you as well" stated Alicia as she told him the terms of the deal.

"..." Marcellus never wanting to kill a human again, eagerly and warliy agreed.

"What do you need?" asked Marcellus.

"My dad is coming after me, he wants me home, however I don't want to go so I need a place to stay. If I teach you, we become roommates" said Alicia with a small smile knowing that he would agree.

"I don't mind, if you promise not to eat any of the humans I care about," said Marcellus half-jokingly as he held his hand out for a handshake.

Alicia, seeing his gesture, giggled as if she found something funny and shook it.

"So, anything else you want to know?" asked Alicia with a small smile.

"What is real or fiction?" replied Marcellus.

"Mmm, ok, I'll start with weaknesses. Garlic, silver and holy water don't do anything to us. The sun is our enemy but we have figured out how to get over it. An herb called vervain is a major weakness. Ingesting it or even being near it to inhale it will burn us, just like the sun long ago. A wooden stake will kill us and it is only one of five ways an unranked vampire can die. Which are, stake to the heart, getting our heart ripped out, decapitation, getting burned alive or a werewolf bite. That last one is particularly nasty" explained Alicia as she waited for questions.

"How can you walk in the sun, and can I?" asked Marcellus, one of his important questions.

"Well, actually yes, because of these" said Alicia as she held up her hand that had a ring on it with a moonstone.

"It's a daylight ring, the only way to walk in the sun is to wear one at all times. However, since you don't have one, to commemorate or deal, here take it" said Alica as she went into her pocket to grab another one. She then gifted it to Marcellus, who put it on his middle finger.

"You said werewolf bite, so what are all of the actual supernatural creatures that aren't fiction?" asked Marcellus in curiosity.

"Vampires, werewolves, witches, demons and angels" said Alicia.

"So does that mean God and the devil exist?" questioned Marcellus in bewilderment.

"Yes but not in the way humans think, God is just the strongest angel but he in no way created all of life. The devil, Lucifer, is a fallen angel who rules hell and he is king of the demons but he is not evil, he punishes evil" said Alicia as she told Marcellus information that would shake the human world if it got out.
