1 Chapter 1

Not everyone has the luck to join a vampire party, only vampires do and some willing human preys. Amidst the sucking of blood, some horrendously explicit adult makeout sessions and head splitting sound of music, Merlin was sitting into the far corner of the club owned by his father, the vicious businessman Simon Bale of  Ginger-Spring town. Normally, Simon Bale was just a huge teddy bear but when hungry and hunting, he becomes a monster.

"Hey little brother. Want to dance?" Paula slumped down beside him, and downed the blood cocktail he was holding onto for the past hour. Merlin turned to her with a mean look, making sure she got the message.

"Come on. What's got into you? This isn't my baby brother. Who are you?" Paula nudged his ribs, her gold bracelet dangling to her pale wrist. Merlin and Paula had impeccable similarity to their physical appearances, same  long nose, big dark eyes, blood red lips, typically pale skin with difference of masculine and feminine touch to their features. Both are almost six feet tall. Except, Paula was wearing a black crop top with matching thigh high skirt and Merlin was in his house pyjamas and blue hoodie, Paula's long blond hairs were tied into a messy bun while Merlin's shoulder length blond hairs were just messy, crumpled on top of his head.

"Leave me alone Paula. I am not in the mood." Merlin shoved her hand aside and continued glaring into dark nothingness at the corner of the couch. A busty vampire came and sat on Paula's lap and kissed her aggressively on the lips, then neck and shoulders. Paula grabbed her by the hip and pushed closed into her own body.

"Look man, this is not going to do. Go hunt a human or two, drink some blood, sleep around. Your blue vibes are rubbing off on me." Paula said to Merlin while giving the female vampire all she craved for with her dexterous hands.

"Does it look like I want to go hunting? Go away."

"Shut up Merlin. You are such a downer. Whatever, I am going." Paulapushed the vampire off her and stood up, looking down at Merlin, she spoke, "You won't find me for next ten hours, so say whatever you want to say."

"Don't you get bored of all this?" Merlin asked and Paula gestured for the female vampire to give her a minute and sat back beside Merlin.

"What do you mean?"

"We have been vampires for fifty decades and we have been doing the same things for the past one hundred and fifty years, ever since Dad became the CEO of Grim's vampire company. His popularity is on roll and we are the same, kids of rich businessman, and vicious vampire. Doesn't it bother you?" Merlin moved to the side and noticed a small glass of red liquid on the ground beside the sofa. He picked it up and smelled it before pouring the content down his throat. Paula grimaced but said nothing.

"Do you mean we are wasting our time, partying, drinking blood, having sex?"

"That's not what I meant but, yes, close enough. We are adults and we don't even make our own earning. How ridiculous is that?" To this, Paula burst out laughing.

"Oh man. You are hacked. Who did this to you? Don't tell me you are in love. Are you in love? Who is it?"

"Shut your dirtbag face Paula. I am not in love. It's just a thought. Just forget it okay. You won't understand. Go make love to you blood sucking friend."

Paula turned to see the same female vampire, standing by the bar to the far left, drinking blood directly out of the neck veins of a middle aged brunette boy, who was enjoying it way too much and Paula knew he wouldn't survive beyond midnight.

"That utterly old part of my brain that is still tad human, does understand what you are saying but my vampire brain is throwing invisible venom in your bloody pupils, trust me on that. Tell me one thing. Is this just you or someone else talking?"

"This is me, Paula. I swear on my fangs, I am not in some stupid love with some stupid vampire."

"I never said it was a vampire." Merlin glared at Paula.

"Do you think I will fall for a human?" Merlin sunk into a deranged laughter and didn't stop till Paula physically kicked him with her pointy heels on the thigh. "Most erratic thing I have ever heard. You are insane, Paula."

"Then it's settled. You are just in a zone. You will snap out, don't worry." Paula said and walked away, making a hand gesture for DJ to turn up the music. Merlin saw him yank the previous vampire off the human and herself take a brief gulp before sticking her lips to that female vampire's, going into a full blown make out act against the bar slab.

The human man was now enjoying the show from the stool beside, his wound taken care of by the bartender who, then practically dragged him out of the bar so he don't get killed there.

"Not on show tonight Merlin?" Shouted the voice of his best friend right into his ear.

"My genital's on freaking therapy. What about you? Leonard got nothing to nibble on today?" Merlin nodded to the sparkling pants and jacket of Leonard, compared to his own casual hoodie.

"Fed and full. I am going to call it a night."

"Man, we come out at night."

"Then I will call it a day buddy vamp. See you tomorrow night." Leonard was about to stand up and leave when Merlin pulled him back to his side by tug on his shoulder.

"Leonard, wait."

Leonard, the charismatic, dark vampire with muscular overall body, put his feet up on the table before them. "What?" He asked, shoving his dark curly hairs away from his sharp prominent face.

"I feel like I am the weird one here so, let me ask this. Don't you get bored of all this? This lavish life, every comfort. I mean your parents are also loaded like my father, being the one who only asks for stuff, nothing to give. Isn't that a bit annoying?"

"Man! Are you Kidding me? I don't care. You see, humans live their entire pathetic life working and still die. We vampires have to do nothing, someone got to do business, they do business otherwise just hunt and sleep and sleep around. This is life. This is life I signed up for mate. I ask for nothing more."

"But this is not for me. I am going out of my mind, doing the same fucking things for past five hundred years." Merlin waved his hand around the club as if it's the biggest offence of his life or death. All this time Leonard was listening to him as attentive as a vampire can be with little pools of human blood soaking the plain furnished wooden floor.

"Why don't you do your own thing? Get a job, start some business, go on a freakishly humane trip. I have been dead for more than nine hundred years and trust me, anyone of these will tell you how lucky you are to be a vampire and not some pathetic human."

"That's actually a good idea." Merlin's face lit up with a big vampiric bright smile, his fangs drawn out.

"Good for you man. I am gonna head out now. Okay? See you." Leonard said nonchalantly and strolled out of the buzzing club, giving a few winks along the way.

Merlin grabbed hold of one of the passing trays of drinks and gulped down all of them within five seconds. His head now going on a bunch of roller coaster rides and nerves racing through his body, he joined the group of humping fancy crowds.
