Milo's Point of View:
I rolled my wrist, popping it as I finished up the last sentence in my latest book, Find Me At Midnight. I smiled and saved it on my computer before I sent it to my editor, just making the deadline then sighed, getting to my feet. Just in time for my nightly walk too! Maybe I'll run into a vampire. I held back a shiver of excitement, wondering if tonight would finally be the night as I picked up my travel mug of coffee and practically ran towards the door, snatching my jacket up off the table by the door then slipped it on as I disappeared outside to head for the park, sipping on my coffee. It's been so long since I've become obsessed with the supernatural, but I still haven't found any hard evidence that they exist.... My family calls me crazy and a shut in because I constantly write, but my hunt for them is my inspiration for all my books, and people seem to love them. I've been best seller for four years! Ha! I brought my jacket closer to my body as the night air seemed to have more of a chill in it than usual, making me shiver from the cold as I walked down the sidewalk, leaving my apartment behind.
I glanced around as a few people were walking to their homes, getting home late from work as a few cars whizzed by. It was normal at least for me to see this. It would weird others out... those who don't go outside every night like I do... right about now. Most are sleeping.... I smiled and sipped on my coffee, heading for my usual haunts right by the night clubs and parks further in town. I guess that's kind of stereotypical of me, but that's where most people are at night, and a hunting vampire goes where the people are, right? I sighed, biting my lower lip as I started to get closer to that side of town and traffic became denser as they were going from night clubs, to bars, to restaurants or late night movies, the entire night life that I write about. I glanced around and then sighed, feeling like it was going to be a normal night. Darn... I guess not tonight huh? It doesn't feel special.... Still, I might find something.... I took another sip of my coffee and looked towards a nearby alley, deciding to cut through it to get to the other part of night town then started to go down it, carefully picking my way through the boxes put out by businesses.
My phone vibrated in my pocket then, most likely my editor texting me. I heard a small moan further down the alley, bringing my eyes towards it to where I was looking down a dark figure lingering over another. One was pinned to a wall, the head slightly tilted while the other was ducked into the corner of the shadowy figure's neck. I widened my eyes. OH MY LORD. I felt my heart start to speed up and I tripped, falling into the boxes with a yelp and then let out a small grunt as I landed on a sharp edge of a cardboard box then squeaked as my hot coffee spilled all over me, making me jump and fall further into the boxes. I panted and started to tug at my shirt, trying to get it away from my skin as the liquid was scalding me. I heard my coffee cup clatter to the ground as it became forgotten and I was too busy trying to save myself from injury.
The dark figure lingering over it's prey pulled back and looked my way. It's eyes glowed red in the midnight light, staring me down like a black cat in an alley. "That's going to be two hundred and forty," I heard the one against the wall whisper. "How about you write me an IOU and I'll be on my way. You're in a hurry after all. You've got that meeting to head to and-"
"Silence, someone is here." The red eyed figure pressed his fingers against the other's lips to quiet him. I widened my eyes and watched him closely. Is that a... vampire? I slowly sat up as my heart sped up in my chest, pounding in my ears as I glanced at the male's neck, seeing blood dripping down it then looked back at the red eyes. Oh... my... lord! I quickly got to my feet, dusting myself off as I trembled with excitement. IT'S A VAMPIRE! I ruined my shirt in front of him! I'M SUCH AN IDIOT! He's going to think I'm insane! I look like such a doofus!
"U-ummm," I stammered out, starting to blush. "Hi? I-I'm sorry I disturbed your meal," I whispered, trying to be respectful. I don't know what to do! He's going to leave! What's this about him being in a rush?! AHHH! "I didn't mean to..." I rubbed my neck nervously and gave a sheepish smile. "My name is Milo... Milo Tomas Young," I whispered, introducing myself to the vampire. The dark figured vampire pulled out a little wallet and handed the human some cash, whispering something to him. The human took off running, leaving the alley quickly.
"Milo, you're very brave to be giving your full name." I heard him chuckle slightly. I bit my bottom lip then nodded.
"W-well, it'd be rude of me not to," I whispered to him. I SEEM SO LAME! He stepped into the moon light, exposing his pale skin that was hiding behind a dark cloak.
"You shouldn't hand out your full name so easily," he teased me and then turned around quickly and started down the alley. "I don't have time to chat, goodbye Milo Tomas Young." I yelped as he started to walk away. No! My hard work! I found my feet chasing after him quickly.
"Take me with you then!" I called out, a desperate feeling rising in me. I can't let him get away! He stopped walking and turned to face me quickly, chuckling.
"Take you with me?" He mused and seemed to be enjoying my desperation. I stopped and blushed.
"U-uhmmm... I meant..." I laughed awkwardly. Oh man... "It's just... I've never met another vampire before, and I've been searching all my life," I whispered to him, looking down at the ground. "So please? Even just for a little while.... You might be the only vampire I ever see...."
"I'm sorry this is a brief exposure to you but I can't be late," He looked me over and reached out towards me. He rubbed my cheek with his cold ice hands. "Hopefully this will be enough." He whispered and let me go before turning and walking down the alley. I widened my eyes and quickly chased after him, catching up and walking by his side. No way! I'm staying by him! He'll have to kill me to get rid of me! I'm not leaving just yet! He stopped walking and looked towards me. "Milo," he grabbed my wrist suddenly. "Go home." I yelped and then looked up at him, feeling my heart start to sink.
"No," I whispered and didn't budge. I don't want this to be over just yet.... I bit my bottom lip and looked him over. "Turn me. I'll go after you turn me," I mumbled to him. "At least leave me with that... please...."
"Milo..." He whispered, his eyes scanned me. "I've never turned a human into a vampire before." His eyes scanned me with amusement. "You can come with me to the meeting, I've got to make it there on time. You'll remain quiet through it and when it's over we'll have a discussion afterwards." He grabbed the edge of my shirt and started to tug me down the alley. I yelped but quickly got quiet, stumbling after him.
"Y-yes sir," I whispered to him and hurried with him. I'M NOT GETTING DITCHED! He pulled me through the alley and towards what looked like an abandoned building. When he reached it he did a combination of knocks on the door where it opened magically and we were allowed entrance. We entered the dark building where the inside was modernly up to date. He took me into a large room where a round table was kept. It seemed like we were the last to arrive. He leaned in to whisper to me.
"Stand off to the side," he rubbed my cheek before he walked up to the empty spot for him and took a seat at the middle of the table. I watched him wide eyed before I quickly walked over to the side to stand away from the table, rubbing my cheek where he rubbed it. He's got something for rubbing faces.... I bit my bottom lip as I sort of hid in the shadows to avoid being noticed as I looked everyone over curiously. Are they all vampires?
Continuing Milo's POV: As the meeting went on, I could hardly understand half of what they discussed. I did learn that the vampire who brought me here was a king, like most sitting at the table. His name was King Lyle Rosario. He was apparently very important, most of the vampires in the room had their attention focused on him and his views of the situations they talked about. The meeting seemed like hours before it actually ended. Lyle was the last to leave the room, looking towards me with a small smile on his lips. He rushed to my side when we was the last ones in the room and he grabbed my wrist, pulling me out of the room. He tugged me downstairs to a waiting vehicle by the door. A man stood with the door open and Lyle shoved me into the limo before getting in with me. "Sorry that took forever," Lyle told me and sighed. "They wanted it to go longer but... dawn is approaching." I looked towards him with wide eyes and then around the limo. "U-u
Continuation of Milo's POV: I stirred a little as I felt a sudden sense of safety rush over me, waking me as I opened my eyes and looked around. I couldn't feel any pain anymore... just an intense burning hunger in me. It's like the car never happened.... I sat up slightly and then looked down at Lyle, blushing as I saw his face. He's my maker huh? I looked down at him and then felt a small purr rise up in me, tickling my throat before I started to get up out of the bed to go look for something to eat. I heard a small voice talking outside the bedroom door. A small chuckle coming from the voice. "So, he's suddenly a maker and forgot to mention to us he was coming back with a fledgling?" I heard a male ask softly. I widened my eyes then stopped walking. Are they talking about us? I blushed. Oh man, they're right outside.... I looked towards the bed then quickly ran back over to it, jumping up into it to Lyle's safety. "He even came home late and woke up Esther.
Continuation of Milo's POV:I followed Lyle into a modern living room. There was two boys waiting on one couch already. I expected them but on a separate couch there's another boy and a girl. One of the boys got up quickly, he was sitting on the all males couch. He narrowed his eyes at Lyle."What the hell is this?" He asked, walking up. "You of all people bring home more outside trash?" He hissed, exposing his fangs towards Lyle. "I already have to deal with you being here, and you don't even belong here!" I widened my eyes and quickly grabbed Lyle's arm, getting closer to him. The boy looked towards me in disgust then looked at Lyle in hatred. Another boy got off the couch and started to walk up."Silas, how many times do we have to tell you that Lyle is not outside trash. He's our brother," the boy mumbled, tugging on the first boy's hand to try to get him to come away, but Silas yanked his hand away, glaring at the boy."Everest,
Continuation of Milo's POV: I somehow managed to finish all the books before he was done and rolled off the couch, feeling hungry again as I got to my feet and bit my bottom lip, slowly inching towards the door curiously as I looked around the room. I'd come back to check on him.... "Where are you going?" I heard him ask me from the desk. I froze up and then looked back at him before I blushed. Caught. "N-nowhere," I told him, giving him a nervous, innocent smile. "Don't lie," he told me firmly. His eyes were like daggers on me. "I'm your maker." I tensed up and then nodded quickly. "Y-yes sir," I whispered, my body trembling slightly as I felt like he was going to get me. His eyes softened as he watched me. "Well... where were you going?" He asked and motioned for me to sit back down. I hesitantly walked back to the couch and sat back down. "To explore," I mumbled, watching him.
Continuation of Lyle's POV: I felt him stirring against me as the sun was going down, waking up a little early as he sat up in the bed beside me. He yawned a little and then started to crawl off the bed, taking it slow like he was trying not to wake me. I opened my eyes and glanced his way. "Where are you going?" I asked him curiously. He froze up and then sat down, looking towards me then purred, crawling back and laying down beside me. "I was going to take another bath," he told me sweetly, looking up into my eyes from my side innocently. "You can do that," I purred and looked him over. "Are you hungry yet?" He looked thoughtful then nodded towards me, blushing slightly. "A little," he admitted to me. "I'll have a maid bring us some blood, go pick out some clothes from my closet and take a shower. We'll see about your clothes later tonight." I sat up against the headboard and picked up the phone on the nightstand. He nodded
Continuation of Lyle's POV: It didn't take me long to find Everest, directing some maids in the dining room. He looked at me and raised an eyebrow before he sighed. "Lemme guess, the gardens?" He asked me and then put his hands on his hips. "I was planning on having a small private ball out there, but okay, I can get the musicians to move their equipment to the actual ballroom." "Whichever works for you," I told him and smirked. "Milo wants to go out into the gardens though." Everest glanced me over and then looked at Milo in consideration. "Well... if we had them dance in the gardens, they might accidentally injure themselves and ruin it.... I'll send out the new orders. We can get this done," he told me, his eyes flickering back to me. "We should probably start it off outside rather than end it outside. It's safer inside the house, and if the dancing was to last longer than expected, the sun might catch us or cause a panic. It'll be safer and more controlle
Continuation of Lyle's POV:Esther looked over as we entered the room then smiled huge. "Brother! You made it just in time! Everest just went to go fetch Silas, isn't that right Sylar?" She asked, looking over at Sylar sweetly. He nodded his head in agreement."Is that the same human from two nights ago?" I heard Primrose asking her siblings as they all sat on the same couch, waiting for me. She looked Milo over and frowned, looking towards Jason. "That's his first fledgling?" She asked. Milo blushed slightly and hid a little more against my side."I hope he was turned willingly," Jason said coldly as his eyes judged me with harsh daggers. His arms wrapped around his two sisters, Primrose and Emily."You're correct, this is the same human except he is my fledgling now Primrose. I wouldn't dare take his life from him if it was by force, Jason. Let me introduce you.... This is my fledgling Milo Tomas Young. Less formally, Milo. Milo, these are council membe
Continuation of Lyle's POV: I eventually found Esther wandering the hallways, humming softly. She stopped when she saw me then smiled. "Oh hey there," she said sweetly and walked up. "Had enough of them already? How's your cheek?" She looked towards it in worry, gently touching it. "Let me heal it for you, my sweet big brother," she mumbled, her touch numbing the slight pain in my cheek and jaw and I felt her healing powers working on me to fix what Jason did to me. "I wish the dinner went better than it was planned. Where's Milo?" I asked her curiously. "Everyone is meeting in the ball room in a hour." She smiled and rubbed my cheek as she finished. "Well, he used the restroom, but he didn't want to go back to the table, so I decided I'd let him eat in the safety of the night room. He almost didn't accept the blood I got for him," she told me. "He's eating though, so I think that's good enough." "I should made him stay in my study all night i
