Dear reader join me in another tale from the infinate universe , this one in a modern day world like our own but slightly to the left of the dimensional path


Dr Darkspring stood silently by the old oak. He scanned the park looking for the tell tale signs of his quarry .The light of the moon illuminated the park with a silvery ethereal glow. A few people still lingered, even though the show had long since finished. Then he spotted his target. For the last month something had been preying on the people of this part of London. Police always found them drained of blood but with a happy smile upon their faces, as if the experience of death had been one of bliss and pleasure. Dr Darkspring had researched long into what sort of creature could do that. All the evidence pointed to a vampire, yet the look of happiness was not usually associated with their victims. Just to be on the safe side Dr Darkspring had cast minor enchantments on the victim's families to ensure that cremation, rather than burial was the send off. His target looked Human. She was tall and voluptuous, with long white hair and pale skin. She looked every inch a Vampire. Her speed, her graceful movement, her beauty and like many of the night kind she dressed in velvet and leather. Dr Darkspring could never understand why creatures that was immortal and trying to hide their existence from Mortals let the expectations of those mortal dictate how they dressed. Then again, he thought who would expect a vampire to dress like a vampire. The woman was on the move and Dr Darkspring took of after her. He muttered an incantation that made him invisible to her senses and followed.

The woman followed a young couple into the trees. As the unsuspecting mortals started to get undressed she pounced, knocking the girl over and landing on her boyfriend. Long sharp fangs extended from her gums and she went to bite. Dr Darkspring fired. The bullet would not harm one of her kind, but the force knocked her off her victim. "Run" Dr Darkspring shouted at the teenagers, his spell dissipating. As they did so the woman leapt to her feet, her eyes blazing with anger. "Foolish Mortal" she hissed, her hands becoming clawed "I will feed on you" Dr Darkspring let her leap on him. As they fell to the floor he thrust the stake into her heart. Blood spurted over him and she rolled off screaming. Dr Darkspring got to his feet. The woman also got up, pulling the stake from her chest, her wound healing instantly. You fool " she sneered " I am no mere vampire " Dr Darkspring pointed his gun at her . " you already know that will not work " she laughed . " against a vampire no it would not . But I know what you are; I just needed to make sure". The woman stopped in her tracks. "You lie". Dr Darkspring smiled. "You are the spawn of lilith herself, a mixture of demon and vampire known in ancient text as the Elizeria. You have none of the weaknesses of your undead cousins except that of sunlight. You cannot abide the touch of bronze because that was what the spear used against your "mother" when she was banished was made from. Neither can you abide the tears of an innocent child. "The Elizeria took a few steps back, her confidence faltering. Dr Darkspring smiled and fired. In the bushes to his right, the other Elizeria took the bullet in the face. The bronze in the bullet allowed it to tear through the creatures brain where it opened, letting the tears spill out. The Elizeria screamed as its head melted. The female screamed as her mate died and leapt at Dr Darkspring and began to tear at his face and neck with her claws. Dr Darkspring struggled to point the gun. If he didn't get her face or chest it would not kill her. He fired and she fell from him screaming. The bullet had just hit her leg, but it was enough to distract her. Dr Darkspring fired again and again, putting three bullets into the creature's chest. As the tears were released she screamed. Richard turned away as her body swelled and exploded. "Why do the young ones always explode" Dr Darkspring muttered to himself. He holstered the gun and began to cast a spell. The bits of bodies glowed slightly and then vanished, and then Dr Darkspring headed for his car. In the trees the third Elizeria watched. It had seen its son and daughter die. It would get revenge and it would do it tonight.


Dr Darkspring sat in his armchair. After the shower he felt much better. The remains had been burnt and the spell he had cast on the teenagers should ensure no one knew about tonight's events. As he turned on the TV he noticed something was not right. The shadows by the window were unnaturally dark. Dr Darkspring smiled. "Come out, I know your here ". A woman formed in the shadows. "You killed my children sorcerer but you will find me an altogether more difficult prospect" Dr Darkspring continued to smile. "You have entered my house uninvited and I am sitting here unarmed. Ask yourself this. I know about your kind, I know your weaknesses and powers. Why would I allow you to enter and not defend my self" .The Elizeria also smiled. " And I know about you Richard Darkspring "." I know about your history and you're past. I know what sins you have committed and why you now fight to redeem yourself. But why bother. Theses people you seek to protect. They are nothing. They are pointless miserable beasts, nothing more than cattle and pawns to the likes of beings like us. "She sat down on Dr Darksprings sofa. Dr Darkspring shook his head "I am not like you. I do not believe as you do. I will never be like you." The Elizeria leapt to her feet." then you will die like they will die "She jumped at the chair and fell through it. From by the fire place Dr Darkspring laughed. "The trouble with you Emelisia". The Elizeria froze as Dr Darkspring spoke her name "is that you have become sloppy in your old age. I know your name, your true name and now I can control you". The Elizeria struggled to move but Dr Darkspring merely said "stop" and she found herself immobile. "You are mining now. But I am a fair man. You may stay if you wish but you will never feed on a mortal again unless they are willing. You will not create more of your kind and you will never kill, except in self defence. Obey these commands my dear and I shall not end your existence. "The Elizeria struggled but could do no more than agree." good. You may go now. "As The Elizeria left Dr Darkspring sat down, shaking. Control over a creature as powerful as Emelisia even with a true name was difficult. He hated lying to her, but she was too dangerous. He drank his drink and went to bed. Outside Emelisia stood by the road. "I will get you for this" she muttered." I think you vont" said a voice behind her, pulling the trigger. Emelisia died instantly, her body shrivelling to dust and blowing away on the wind. "Vell at least she did not explode" Mr Vallach muttered to himself , walking off, whistling into the night
