Neo whimpered against the sensation that Markus's tongue traced on his skin. He wanted to grab him right here and right now. He wanted to make him forget that Nathaniel existed.
"Now transform me." Markus whispered against his skin.
"I will, master." Neo replied and took a step back. "I will show you what our small town has to offer."
Neo grabbed Markus's wrist and dragged him behind him out of the alley. He was going to take him to the barber first then he was going to take him to his favourite clothing store and...
He drew a blank at that. What was he going to show him next? He was not used to entertaining new people as Nathaniel had been his only friend even though his mother never wanted them to be friends.
Maybe he should ask Markus what his plans were? If he had any plans except for the one that he was looking for Nathaniel who was apparently Mathias. Neo was still working out the small kinks in the reasoning to why a vampire had suddenly appeared out of nowhere.
"Where are you taking me?" Markus asked curiously.
"I am going to take you to my barber." Neo replied and stopped before a walk way.
Markus jumped as a car drove by them fast. There was smoke blowing out of the exhaust. "What kind of demon is that?"
"That my mast-" A few people where staring at them and moved a few spaces back. Of course, the people are being prejudice towards them.
"Markus, did you forget what cars are?" Neo said with a nervous laugh. "You take your role playing to seriously."
Markus cocked his head in confusion. His attention turned towards the people that stared at them. So this was his minion's way of letting him know that he should keep his mouth shut?
What a weird century he woke up in. This minion better know what he was doing or he would bring out the world of pain upon him. The walkway's light turned green and Neo pulled him along.
"You should not talk or ask anything out int the open." Neo said and tugged at him harder.
Markus replied with a low growl. This minion was turning out troublesome, he was the vampire king and no on dared to oppose... His royal court opposed him, his eyes glazed over. Would that memory keep haunting him, even when he found his lover?
Neo looked back at him, he found it surprising that he did not retort or said something sarcastic. He turned his attention back to the road ahead. They were not to far from the barber, if he could get the haircut right then it would be easy to fit him clothes.
Neo grinned as an image came to mind. A nice emo cut with jeans, a red checkered shirt and a skull t-shirt. He wanted him to look like the school's biggest delinquent. Nathaniel would be to scared to approach him and...
Was he being evil? When did he ever get what he wanted? Nathaniel was into girls anyway, he was not going to give himself over to a madman. There was a girl in their class that was going to confess to him in this week, so he wanted to train his master and maybe convince him...
"We are here." Neo announced and stopped before a door that looked as if it had not been cleaned in years.
"What is this place?" Markus said, "It looks as if we will get robbed here."
"Do not worry about it," Neo replied with a small shrug and pushed the doors open.
A soft bell could be heard announcing them and a man behind the counter placed his newspaper down. "Well, well Neo. Who is this?"
Neo walked up to the man. Markus's nose wrinkled at the smell as his eyes took in the environment around him. He could hear a rat cowering in a corner and... Blood, he smelled-
He turned away and tried to hide his teeth which punctured his lower lip. This place was going to drive him to bloody madness and he had just fed. Why was the blood being so overpowering? Was it... He had not drank a drop in two hundred years, he would have to stock up to get his strength back.
"Markus," Neo screamed. "They will fit you in."
Markus turned around but did not say a word. Neo was grinning and waving him over. The man behind the counter looked him up and down, "He has a lot to hair for a quick shave."
Neo let out a nervous chuckle. "He is new in town and I suggested he should get a new look before venturing further."
"Smart move on your behalf. Do you guys want tattoo's too?"
Markus parted his lips to ask what a tattoo was but the smell of blood as to over powering and the man stood up from the counter and walked to the door which let to the back of the place. "Follow me."
Neo turned to Markus and smiled. "This guy is the bomb!"
Markus cocked his head to the right in confusion. So much new terminology that he did not understand and his nose wrinkled up again that Neo looked at him confused.
He indicated with his head that they should follow to man to the back. Markus paused at the door when a big whiff of the room caught him off guard and he sank slowly to his knees.
"Master what is wrong?" Neo whispered when he realized that he did not follow him inside.
"Blood..." Markus said through gritted teeth.
"You will have to bite through it if you want to save your Mathias and be with him during the day." Neo retorted.
Markus picked himself up from the floor and followed Neo to where the man stood at a barber's chair. It was red-leather and stained... Markus draw in a big breath before he sat down in the chair.
The man threw a cloth over him and pushed past him slightly picking up a scissor and a shaver. "So how do you want your hair?"
