The Vampire King Apollyon

  "Neighbors said Mama had secret men." The young child told him a matter-of-factly, and her innocent big blue eyes were wide as she bit her fingernails. "They say I don't look, papa."

There was a falling sensation in his stomach followed by immense numbness.

Apollyon wanted to lash out his anger and release this deep rage inside him, but he couldn't let the young lass see him vulnerable and so broken.

He wished to be like her, his soul leaving his body and going out on adventures, preferably with his wife, so that they would finally be reunited.

He straightened his spine and stood proudly despite his weakened muscles.

Leaning forward, Apollyon tilted his head and quizzed her pointedly. "What is the name of your papa?" 

Apollyon was close to dying of curiosity.
