I looked in the direction I felt him and there he was. "What's your name?" I asked, "Samson come with me tonight I will answer anything you want to know." Hesitantly I nodded and took his outstretched hands then he took me in his arms and we were flying. I was excited by his touch and then by the sudden flight and surprised "we can fly?" "Some of us were his response he was extremely cryptic. I felt like I should be scared of him, for he executed power. It radiated and rolled off his handsome features but I wasn't. After a while of me staring at his physique, I felt myself slipping. Not from his firm grasp but from reality from consciousness. I had little to no blood tonight I was weakening too much as It was I barely drank enough to survive. And from what I have seen it was nothing compared to what he had drank based on the bags that ii had cleaned up after he left. I t was 4 times what I would drink in a day. With all the excitement I hadn't touched another bag yet that night. Not enough to keep me going or conscious.
*Samson's POV*
(Earlier that night)The coven needed more blood the war was soon to come. James my half-brother wanted to rule the covens all of them. He wanted my birthright he wanted our father's position. he wanted to awaken the monster the first of us we didn't say or speak her name for many centuries many had forgotten her name all but my own family and those of the council tasked with guarding her sleep. Even the bible gave the woman no name she was the first of us she was ruthless bloodthirsty and no man-made religion knew the full story. They got pieces right don't get me wrong but they had twisted them to their own means and ends. Those closest to the truth praised our same goddess and gods our goddess Selene and Hecate protected us. Selene's is the goddess of the moon while Hecate is the goddess of magic. The first empusa translated loosely to Lilith was Hecate's vampire daughter. She had great power over men. She could bend them to her will to control them as well as to demand a blood sacrifice of them. Given willingly, James denied this entire he denied our history. He denied blood right which meant he denied my birthright believing we have our powers so to rule the entire world. To rule and control the humans, not hide in the shadows. That human should know of our existence and worship us was his view and wish for our future.
The ways he demanded this ruling had vampires on both sides of the fence for he was also a bastard though a prince still. As James' older half-brother; I would never agree to this. While I had no wish to truly rule the covens I also knew I couldn't leave them in my brother's hands. It was my duty one I took with much seriousness. And two, I must protect us from the humans. Though humans feared us they tended to destroy what they did not understand. The Salem witch trials were just examples of this in an extreme moment the most historical in even humans remember but now days brush aside as superstition. My job would be as king my father's job to make sure existing rules and new ones needing to be placed in the future were followed were fair and punishments for those to disobey were dealt and administered.
Alas, I must learn all the roles in the coven as well so as to know how to make fair judgments for small actions and big alike that may affect the coven. Tonight and for the month I was sent to gather food for the elders. It was a short while before one either I core my brother would ascend the throne two full moons now (and I would assure it was myself who ascended my father's throne) and start the sovereignty. My father had ruled for a thousand years now our longest peaceful reign.
