Vampires
Viktor and Alfonz watched the breaking news from Alfonz’s penthouse suite. The two never spoke a word to each other, but their faces held mild traces of disdain.
There was a knock on the door.
Neither got up to answer the door, it was obviously some mistake. They knew no one, no one that would knock on the door.
The knock came again, then after a while a third time. “Alfonz Reiniger.” a voice on the other side boomed out.
Alfonz stood and looked at Viktor who was sitting in a living chair across the room.
Viktor nodded in responce and readied himself.
Alfonz open the door and looked at the stranger with curly light brown hair.
Azeus smiled at the German, “I have come here with a business propostion. Will you let me in?”
Alfonz moved out of the way and let the man in. “What is it you propose?” Alfonz asked.
Viktor paused the television playback, the screen showed a shot of Argon and Utheus standing like ancient warriors hands extended in the air screaming a primal scream.
Azues was amused at the new technolgies, always able to capture more than the human eye can percive with its lines of codes and various wavelengths. He walked to the screen and pointed at the two vampires on it. “You don’t long for the day when we couldn’t be photographed?” he asked. “You can still tell what they are on a larger screen. It’s the eyes, you see.” He turned around and looked at them through his amber contacts.
“Your business.” Alfonz demanded.
Azues smiled for a moment then dropped the charade. “You have a facility set up in Nevada which juices pure virgin blood. I am a wine maker. I propose we join forces together and produce the greatest wine that ever existed. Think of it. We would live like Kings amoung men.”
Viktor was insulted. “Money?” Viktor interupted, “You think we are inspired by greed or power?”
“Then what are you inspired by?” Azues shot back. “The destruction of humanity? To what end? To the exctintion of vampire kind? Is this what inspires you?” Azues walked over to face him. “Tell me of this wonderful plan to exterminate the world of this vermin so there is nothing left but your one supply of food.”
