The Dark Messenger Read Online Free

anyone who felt like they were bored with life had only
to ask him about it, and their existence wouldn’t be lasting much
longer.
     
    He was also known for
practicing strong dark rituals and took great pleasure out of
watching someone die an agonizing death. It didn’t matter who they
were either, even his own soldiers stood in as substitute on
occasions too. Anyone would do. He was a master in all forms of torture, and
if his victims died slowly and screamed
for hours, he preferred that .
     
    Hoidrious regularly wore similar attire to Rex, and today
was no exception. They were both in hooded all-in-ones. It was
questioned, generally in whispered conversations, as to whether
they were twins. Because of their similar height and grotesque
facial features, it seemed highly probable. If that were the case
though, then naturally there would be great pity for the
p oor mother.
Imagine the despair when these two had been humans, their looks
alone would have suggested she must have had something deeply and
terribly wrong with her womb.
     
    Kaine despised the fact that he had come
here. Being in Rex’s presence was already starting to annoy him,
and he couldn’t understand why they were all so evil. He himself
was a vampire, under the same curse, but wasn’t viciously nasty and
nefarious like them. He got his enjoyment from nicer things, such
as hunting deer, classical music, fine wines, art and nature. He
would never kill a human himself unless they were clearly guilty
like that robber had been outside, of the most heinous of crimes.
In truth, the robber could consider himself extremely lucky to have
experienced a much shorter death than usual. If Kaine hadn’t been
late for the meeting, and with his views about robbers, his demise
would have gone on much longer.
     
    Kaine lived in Devils Dyke, a place near
Brighton in the countryside, and felt he was so different from
normal vampires that he couldn’t compare himself to them in the
slightest.
     
    He had deeply chiseled looks and his jaw line
was in perfect symmetry. His skin was pale, with just the slightest
shade of color--as if the human inside was somehow still playing a
role in his existence. His eyes were sunken, but only slightly, and
his black orbs shone as if they were liquid. The reflection coming
off them was almost fourth dimensional. He was extraordinarily
handsome, and with his blonde hair slicked back to within a hairs’
breadth past his ears, he was easily recognizable amongst his own
kind.
     
    ‘Kaine, fellow brothers and sisters, I have
called you here today to discuss our extinction,’ Rex began. ‘Are
you ready to let it happen, or did you want to live a few thousand
years longer? Those nasty humans have been breeding too much and
Mother Nature is dying. In short, they are killing the Earth. We
need to wipe out a massive number of them, cull them a little--well
a lot really--leaving ten percent for us to feed from.’ Rex
laughed, a horrible sound, and all the vampires started cheering
and shouting. The noise was deafening, and the frenzy built up
until their actions somehow turned into a massive argument.
     
    ‘SHUT UP, you miserable bastards!’ Rex
shouted as he turned and stared down at them. When he didn’t get
the immediate response he wanted, he added, ‘I will lock you all in
here and burn the whole room after I leave if you don't shut
up!’
     
    That got their attention, and there was
immediate order. Rex went on to say he had a plan, which involved
the two humans who were chained in their midst, and that they were
the key to fixing the planet for them.
     
    The silence was deafening as the vampires
stared at each other in disbelief.
     
    Finally someone shouted out, ‘What, that
woman and young girl? Really?’ There was a sound of laughter, then
he said, ‘Have you have gone mad, Rex? Not that you weren’t anyway.
But really, how can they fix the planet, you old fool?’
     
    ‘You have wasted our time, making us come
here to
