It was the vampire from the alley. The couples, laughing and having a good time, passed him, then the guy behind… Xavier turned his head as he passe... and it felt like time slowed, like a slow-motion movie reel. Xavier’s head came up as he turned it and the guy was looking back at him as well. Curious dark eyes pinning him and for a moment Xavier couldn’t look away. The guy was good looking, at least he had a nice face, but he was wearing loose nondescript dark clothing and other than his. As things began to slow down, I was able to come up with a plan of attack which rendered the rest of the so-called Black Battalion unconscious in less than ten minutes. I turned to Verias and saw him visibly pale as he realized he was next. I immediately closed the distance between us, grabbed him by the neck and tore his armor off of him. He screamed in terror as my fingers dug into his breastplate, before using the grip to snap the leather straps and metal hooks holding the two parts. While still a child of modest intelligence, she is certainly not as bright as Stephanie, or as either of her parents. This was more than amply demonstrated when, during the very early hours of a Saturday morning, John had been awakened unexpectedly and left the warmth and comfort of his bed to verify the security and welfare of his children and home. He was more than shocked and less than amused to discover a young man sleeping beside the naked body of his elder daughter, both having fallen. As I told Doris, Like Arthur, in the early 60s I must have been about 15 and my parents owned a bed and breakfast place. It was not the normal staid place, but one where sex went on everywhere. No debauched or perverted, but active sex, if you get my meaning.My bedroom was at the top of the house, and I had to pass every room to get to it. One evening around 10, I passed this door and heard really loud noises and the word fuck being said a lot. The door was not locked (no lock) and slightly.
