Chapter 7

Ryes walked into his hotel room greeted by his assistant Lisa.

 

“Why aren’t you affected by my spell?” He questioned in disbelief.

“Because you have been giving me some of your blood on occasions.  This in turn makes me immune to your spells.” Lisa replied back, “So you take care of the rogue?”

“Yes, I did.  I stripped him of his role in the group and of his powers I rolled them over to Alex.” Ryse replied with pride.

“Good! Now you need to undo this spell, get about an hour nap and then Showtime.”

“What would I do with out you,” It was more of a statement than a question. Lisa just grinned at him and kicked him towards his place of rest.

 

Backstreet:

 After the rest of the group left Kevin’s room, he and Alex curled up on the couch and talked about their relationship and the turn of events.

“I am gonna need you more than ever now that I am the ‘leader’ of Backstreet Boys.” AJ said softly more to Kevin’s head than his face.

“I know and I will be by your side for always.” Kevin said to Alex’s chest.  “I have had a crush on you since I first saw you.” Kevin grinned in remembrance.

“Really, YOU had a crush on me!” Alex was surprised.

Kevin just nodded his head against the cloth that was covering Alex’s smooth chest.

Flashback:

            At a local hotel a dark haired tall man walked into the ballroom where auditions were being held for a new pop group.  He was a little nervous; he was more used to the routines he did as Aladdin at Walt Disney World. It was the closest thing to being in entertainment that he found. But he couldn’t pass an opportunity like this.

            Seated at a long table were three young men, an older heavy set man and a black man. The three youths were the first members of this upcoming group.  Their names were Nick 12, Alex “AJ” 14 and Howie 18.  The older heavy set man was later introduced as Lou Pearlman owner of Transcontinental.  The other gentleman was their manager Johnny Wright.  Kevin’s first thought was he didn’t want to be with such young kids but the one looked very attractive.

            Kevin sang a Disney song since he had just been at work and surrounded by Disney. When he was done the look on three faces was kinda funny.  They were a mixture of shock, amazement and what looked to be something he couldn’t quite describe. Mr. Pearlman asked that Howard, Alex and Nick sing with this new person to see if the harmonies would work.  When Kevin heard the one named Alex sing he fell in love.  It was one thing he knew very confidently about himself after he met and started to see Ryse that he was indeed gay or at the least bi-sexual since he did still feel some attraction to the opposite sex.

            After the audition was done and he was indeed part of the group was when they were told that a fifth member preferably a tenor was needed to round out the group.  Kevin knew his cousin Brian would fit perfectly into the group.  He mentioned this to his new band mates, Mr. Pearlman, and Mr. Wright.  All were in agreement if it was okay with Brian’s parents than he could come and audition to see if he was right for the group. The following week Brian auditioned and was instantly liked and added to the group.

 

            That was the beginning of the Backstreet Boys.

Ryse:

Ryse woke up refreshed and ready to conquer the world, well at least the thousands of fans at the stadium that night. He put on the best performance fueled on by the screams of mortals and the rising drift of human blood.  This is the main reason he was always thankful for being a master vampire and to not have the need to constantly feed.

           

            He hoped that he made the right choice in giving the power over to Alexander.  He seemed like he could handle the situation and the information fueled on by his assistant helped. Ryse always new from the day they hired Lisa that she was gonna be a fount of information and would make a great vampire just hasn’t quite lived life long enough to be converted.

 

            Speaking of Lisa, Ryse looked up from his contemplations to see his beauty walk into the room.  He may have moments where he wanted it rough and hard, those moments could always be satisfied by another man and on the opposite side he wanted it easy and soft that’s where his beauty comes into play.

“Ryse, what are you thinking?” the beauty asked

“About you my dear,” he replied as he pulled her into his lap and gave her a quick gentle kiss.

“Ryse, stop that,” she giggled.  “Now tell me in detail what you did to those two rogues?”

“Well, I just transferred power from Kevin to Alexander.  Not only in vampirism sense but also in their lives in general.”

“Oh, really?” she asked in surprise

“Yes, now let’s stop talking and starting sexing it up,” Ryse suggested in that bass tone he can only accomplish.

“Why, I thought you’d never ask.”
