Chapter 8

Troyal, though he was better known as Garth, slunk somewhat quietly in the night streets looking for the building that all the vampires were to meet in. He had gotten a special invitation saying that all vampires young and old were to meet to figure out a solution to a new problem that developed.

 

He hadn’t been a vampire for long but was certainly enjoying himself as one.  The only down fall was having to lie to his three daughters as to why daddy couldn’t go out in the daylight with them anymore.  He had told them he had that disease where sunlight was bad for him.  Somehow they accepted it but he knew his eldest would find a way to get the truth.

 

Finally after about an hour of searching he found the building.  It was the typical back alley rundown old industrial building that people usually stayed away from. When he entered he was ushered to a room in the back by one of the ghouls of the head vampire.  Garth, ever the gentleman, thanked the ghoul and proceeded to find his place at the expansive table.  Seated at the table were two members of the most popular ‘boy band’, Kevin and Alex, also seated were several other music stars and just your average Joe vampires.  The only other country music star was Ryse and his lady. He noticed that since the last time he had talked to the vampire and the woman that the woman looked somewhat paler than the last time. He shrugged off thinking that maybe Ryse finally got his act together and made her one of them.

 

A door opened which interrupted Troyal’s thoughts.  Emerging from the light that cascaded through the door was the head vampire herself Menarche. All the vampires rose in respect and sat after she sat.

 

“I called you here today because a new gang of vampires have been terrorizing the mortals we strive to love, honor and respect.  We have to devise a plan to stop these menaces.  I am open to suggestions.” She swept her arm out in invitation

 

“Do we know the names of these vampires?” Kevin Richardson spoke first

 

“Yes, they go collectively by NYSNC. Their individual names that I do not know.” She sighed. It was that point you can see how the centuries have affected her.

 

There was a collective gasp though most audible by the two Backstreeters.  Garth watched with an open eye and mind trying to figure out how to work or capture these vampires.

 

“Kevin and Alexander, it is of utmost importance that you see if you can get Howard and Brian to become vampires.  We are gonna need all of our kind as we can find or created.” She turned towards Ryse, “Ryse now would be a good opportunity to bring Lisa completely over to our side.”

 

With that she quietly got up and exited the building all together.  She left a table of stunned vampires and one only partially a vampire.  Although no one spoke all said a lot with the silence. Whatever it takes they were gonna deal with these terrors.
