Chapter 6 - On the Road

            Being a part of a rock-and-roll world tour was an unimaginable experience for Alex, who had never even been out of California before this trip.  He took every opportunity he could to enjoy the benefits of foreign travel.  In Paris, he explored the Louvre and Notre Dame.  In Rome, he toured the Vatican and the Coliseum.  He walked by the former site of the Berlin Wall.  He toured Big Ben and Buckingham Palace.  He shopped in Harrod’s, and on the Champs Elysee.

            And then there were the women.  Alex was as torn as ever over his relationship with Misty.  He truly loved her, more than anyone he had ever known.  She was sweet and loving, vivacious and energetic, beautiful and sexy.  Plus she was a fantastic singer and an amazing performer.  He couldn’t think of how he could even imagine a more perfect woman, friend or lover.  But he was afraid to tell her about his secret.  At the same time, he continued to indulge himself, both to feed and to be pleasured.

            One night, walking along the Seine in Paris, he pondered the inevitable.  He knew that if he was going to stay with Misty, he would have to tell her the truth.  He wondered how she would deal with the news that her boyfriend was a vampire.  He imagined that she would scream or faint or run away.  As much as he hoped, he didn’t think she would ever be able to accept him once she knew.

            He looked along the shore, watching the Parisians in their city.  There were many couples, expressing their love in varying degrees.  Some walked while holding hands.  Others kissed.  There were pairs who took advantage of the shadows to clutch and caress, and some who simply fucked.  Alex felt so alone watching them all, his two weeks of love making him feel positively ancient.

            Then he saw a couple which stood out to his special senses.  The man seemed overpowered by his companion.  Alex recognized the look on his face, the eyes fluttering and the gasping mouth.  The woman was latched onto his throat, and after first holding the man’s hands at the wrists, she then let go and reached into the man’s pockets.  When she was done, she whispered something into the man’s ear, stuffed a wallet into a pocket in her skirt, and ran off, leaving the man to slump to the ground.

            Alex followed the woman.  He wanted to know if she was, like him, a vampire.  So far, the only other vampire he knew of was Lauren.  If this woman was another immortal, he wanted to meet her, and maybe learn more about his existence.

            After a couple blocks, the woman slowed down.  She smoothed down her clothes, and ducked into a cafe just off the main walk.  Alex peered into the cafe, which was dark and almost empty.  He stepped inside and headed towards the back, where he saw her form disappear into the shadows.

            The back room was completely empty, and Alex couldn’t see where the woman had gone.  He looked into one corner, and then the other, and still no sign of her.  Suddenly he felt a hand grip him tightly on the shoulder, spinning him around.  The woman wrapped her other arm around the back of his neck and kissed him.  It was a hard, almost brutal kiss, with her tongue forcing itself into his mouth.

            “You will obey me,” she demanded, speaking in English, but with a slight French accent.

            Alex smiled, recognizing what she had been trying to do.  He quickly pondered feigning obediance, but discarded the idea because he knew he wouldn’t be able to do a good enough job of faking it.  Additionally, he wanted to learn from this woman.  “Lady, you’ve got the wrong vampire.”

            “Vam-peer?” she gasped, her accent slipping in more strongly.  “You are vam-peer also?”

            He examined the woman.  She looked very young, and, despite her rather shoddy clothes, very beautiful.

            “Yes, I am a vampire also.”  He extended his hand in greeting.  “I’m Alex.”

            She took the hand.  “I am Giselle.  You are not French.”

            “No, I’m not.  I’m an American.”

            They looked at each other for a moment.  “How long have you been...”  They both spoke at the same time, then they both stopped at the same time.  Alex smiled, and Giselle giggled.  “You first,” he stuck in first.

            She looked around, then took his hand and led him back towards the street.  Before they exited, Giselle was met by another woman, who looked like the manager of the restaurant.  The woman pulled down the collar of her flowing peasant’s blouse, exposing her breasts.  Giselle nuzzled her, then took a quick drink.  The woman smiled and played with Giselle’s hair while she drank.  When she was done, Giselle held the woman close, kissing her in a passionate embrace.  Then Giselle took Alex’s hand again and they left.

            “Marie has been a.. friend for a long time.  She helped me when I was first brought over.  I was sleeping on the street in front of her restaurant and she brought me in.  She offered to feed me, although not in the way she imagined.  Since then, she has been a friend, confidant, and protector.  If I’m ever in need, I go to Marie, and she takes care of me.”

            “Is she your slave?” Alex asked.

            “Non,” Giselle replied.  “She helps me of her own free will.  But I still give her pleasure.”

            “You mean she’s a lesbian?”

            Giselle giggled again.  “I don’t think so.  But she and I have shared a bed.  It was the first time for her, and probably the only.”

            Alex asked Giselle again how she became a vampire.  She swallowed and shivered as she thought of that night when she was taken.  “It was about three years ago.  I was on the streets, selling myself.”  She clutched her loose sweater tightly against her chest.  “This woman came through the quarter, being driven in a beautiful car.  I had never seen anyone so incredible.”

            “She rolled down the window, whistled to me, and held out a one-thousand franc note.  That was all I needed to see.  I got into the car with her, and we drove away.  She told me to take off my clothes and suck her down here.”  Giselle gestured to her crotch.  “I don’t remember anything else.  After that first taste, I’m sure I was her mindless pleasure toy.”

            “About a week later, I woke up on Marie’s doorstep.  I didn’t know what had happened or even who I was until Marie got close to me.  My body took over after that.  And that’s about it.”

            “Did you ever find out who made you?”

            She shook her head.  “Never.  All she left me with was this body and a thank you note.”

            Alex’s attention was caught by her comment.  “What do you mean she left you with ‘this body’?”

            Giselle arched her eyebrow.  “You think I always looked like this?  Before that night, I was a child.  Now I’m a woman, a goddess even.”  Giselle said she was fourteen when she was converted.  He would have guessed she was about ten years older.  Her hair was long, straight and dark.  Her “child’s body” was now a size 4, except for the D-cup breasts which stood out on her 32-inch frame.

            “But how did it happen?  How could she change you so much?”

            “You ask a lot of questions, you know?”  Giselle turned off the street to a doorway, which she unlocked and opened.  “Apres vous,” she said as she pointed inside.  They climbed a steep, narrow stairway to the next floor, to Giselle’s apartment.  She told Alex to make himself comfortable while she changed clothes.

            “The answer,” she said, “is simpler than you think.  Or rather, all you have to do is think about it.”

            “What do you mean?  You’re talking in riddles.”

            Giselle reappeared from the back room, wearing a transparent baby-doll and matching panties.  She smiled at Alex’s reaction to her new outfit.  She noted both his wide eyes and his obvious hard-on.  She blew him a kiss as she settled onto a comfortable-looking loveseat.

            “Apparently, when your companion drinks from you, your desires are transferred through your fluids.  Someone I met told me it’s a genetic transformer, whatever that means.  But you can make your companion into whatever you want.”  She fondled her breasts through the sheer fabric, hardening her nipples.  “Apparently, the vampire who turned me wanted a big-breasted fuck-toy.”

            Alex was astounded by what Giselle was telling him.  In an instant, he suddenly understood why Misty wasn’t enslaved by his touch, his kiss, or his come.  When he was with her, he wanted her to want him or not want him because it was what she wanted, while all of the other women were his slaves because that was what he wanted from them.  He also realized this was how he became the way he was.  He hadn’t changed much, but the differences were obvious to him, such as his enlarged dick.

            He wondered further whether that was how a vampire turned his companion.  “Have you ever made another vampire?” Alex asked.

            Giselle shook her head.  “Non.  I don’t know how to do that.  I tried once, but it didn’t happen.  There must be some other secret to that.”  Giselle stretched out her legs and reclined on the loveseat.  “So, have you ever made it with another vampire?” she asked seductively.

            Alex grinned, and wondered how sturdy Giselle’s furniture was.

            Alex rushed from Giselle’s flat to the nearest Metro station, so he could meet Misty at the stadium as her concert was ending.  He was feeling good from his encounter with Giselle, if only because he now knew of at least one other vampire in the world.  Somehow, sharing his feelings and experiences with another made him feel better about himself and his condition.

            But there was still something nagging at him.  His relationship with Misty was fantastic, but there was still that one thing between them.  He desparately wanted to tell her the truth about himself.  As he rode on the train, watching the people get on and off the train, he thought about how special this woman was, and how much he wanted to tell her everything about himself, no matter what the risk.

            The train pulled into his stop.  Most of the people were trying to board the train, having come from Misty’s concert.  As he saw them mill past him, with his lover’s face staring back at him from t-shirts and posters, he knew what he had to do.  Tonight, she would learn the truth.
