Chapter 14      

*Ryse, Lisa, and Damian*

 

Damian had been quite happy to be placed with such a mistress as Lisa and even acquired a master as in Ryse a very powerful vampire.  At first Damian couldn’t understand why the Empress was giving him to Lisa but he came to understand that it was meant to be.

 

“Damian,” Lisa called

“Yes Mistress,” Damien replied

“I have figured out how the fans will see you if for some reason you are to be seen by them.  You are now my assistant and will be seen as that by everyone.” She bestowed him with a small gift of a necklace with the Asian symbol for possession.  He bowed gratefully and planted a small kiss on her hand.

“Thank you Mistress,” Damian said and then moved to the area that was his.

*Nsync*

The members of the other pop group N*Sync housed themselves in a house in Orlando known as the Compound where they prepared for events dealing with N*Sync as well as events dealing with vampires or any other such supernatural creature.

 

These members had at first been in service to the Empress and served her well.  But when they had returned from their first tour in Europe and had known that their ‘older brothers’ the Backstreet Boys were the Empress’ favorite they made a group decision to start their own line of Vampires.

 

“Lance, you can’t go up in space now!” Justin exclaimed.  It wouldn’t be impressive if their so called ‘leader’ was in space and not on the ground leading.

“Justin, you have to understand that if we want to keep up our appearance as five healthy young HUMAN males I have to do this.” Lance tried to explain to the young member.

“Justin, listen to Lance.” JC scolded as he snuggled closer to his lover Joey and played with their daughter Brianna.  Brianna was the only baby born as a vampire and was born to Joey and JC by a strange miracle that to this day has never been explained.

“Fine,” Justin pouted and stomped off to get some love from Wade Robinson, supposed tour director/choreographer but was actually half vampire and half mortal or human.

Lance gave up trying to keep the young man happy and just went to see what Chris was getting into and also to see if Chris could soothe his nerves.  Even though Chris was a little zany he was always able to calm Lance’s nerves when he was around Justin.
