CHAPTER 5

Note: The parts that are in first person will always be a journal type thing. The rest of the story will be in third person.

Kevin was jarred awake by the sound of a door being slammed open. The door opened with such ferocity it could rival the worst hurricane imaginable. Kevin scrambled out of bed just as Ryse stepped into the room.

“I am honored you came to visit Ryse.” Kevin bowed his head in respect for the master Vampire.

“I came not to visit but to punish you. You have committed a grave act amongst the Vampire Community.” Ryse stated

“A grave act?” Kevin questioned

“Yes. You have created a vampire by force and not choice. This vampire was created out of anger and strong emotions.” Ryse took a moment to let this sink in. “You will be punished for committing such an act. As such you no longer have the honor or privilege of addressing me as Ryse. From now on you will address and speak of me as only Master.” With that Kevin took the opportunity to look into Ryse’s once vibrant violet eyes to see that they have turned black with anger and disappointment.

Sudden realization dawned in jade green eyes as Kevin turned his head to see AJ starting to stir in the bed they shared and guilt showed in his eyes as he remembered all the things he has done to the boy.

“I did that?” Kevin could barely get out a whisper.

“Yes and you are to be punished a lot more severally.” Ryse stated. Before Ryse could continue with Kevin’s punishment, AJ roused from his sleep.

“Kevin?” AJ rasped out.

The two vampires looked towards AJ.

“Alexander, good to see that you are awake.” Ryse stated

“Ryse? What’s going on?” AJ asked

“Kevin here has to be punished for turning you into a vampire. Part of his punishment is to relinquish control over everything except his person.”

“What?” Kevin snapped back towards Ryse

“You heard me. Now, Alexander please present yourself to me.”

Alexander did just that. He untangled himself from the sheets and stood in front of Ryse. “Good, now to start the punishment. Alexander as part of his punishment he is to give up control over the Backstreet Boys and anything outside of his person. With that I bequeath the control to you.” Ryse laid one hand on Kevin’s bowed head and onto Alexander’s raised head. A slight tingly feeling could be felt in both Boys. Kevin felt a cold chill as the last of his control over others was taken away and Alexander felt warmth fill his soul when it was given to him.

“Now that it is complete, Kevin you are to answer to Alexander and do what ever he wishes. Also you are to be open and ready for him at all times, even if you are making appearances, performing, or in private. Third, you are to be no longer considered a Level 1 Master Vampire, you are now a fledgling.” Ryse then turned his attention to AJ. “Alexander, you have now taken over Kevin’s role in life with the group and as vampires. You have become a Level 1 Master Vampire. With this role comes great responsibility. You have to power to create new vampires and in a way that is appropriate. You must also learn all that you can, one important lesson is what happened to you must never happen to another unwillingly.”

“Thank you Ryse. I will do you proud.” With that AJ bowed his head in respect.

“I trust you will. I must leave before the spell wears off on my servants.” Ryse made his exit so quietly you wouldn’t have known he was here.

AJ turned towards Kevin. His face fell into sympathy for Kevin.

“Kevin come to bed. We will deal with this in the morning when it has all had a chance to soak in.” AJ told Kevin. Kevin silently obeyed his Masters wishes.
