Mark of Darkness [private for me and RedRose4]

[zajawa]

"I said that still can't understand how is that keeping others from doing ferals", he said softly, rubbing his neck while following Destro.
He wanted to have all answers to his questions yet he hoped it wouldn't pull him into any troubles.

[RedRose4]

“Oh…” Destro walked a little more in silence, taking a few moments before speaking. “Because…if we as vampires create more feral’s, it can outnumber us. Feral vampires kill us, as well as humans, our main blood source. So unless vampires want to become extinct, it would be stupid to make a large amount of them purposefully. Of course, most new vamps tend to kill a lot in their first months, especially without their ‘creator’ helping them. This can create feral’s, they have to be killed before it gets out of hand. It’s like an outbreak. No one wants to be the reason wh vampires became extinct...” Destro said while getting to their bedroom doors and heading inside, knowing he needed a shower. Badly.
Since Ashley had his makeup on already, and clothes, Destro couldn’t tell him to join him, so instead he sighed loudly and headed over to the bathroom. “Is that a good enough reply, or would you like to ask more?” he wondered, a bit impatient though since he really wanted to get the filthy blood off his hands.

[zajawa]

Instead of asking more questions he followed Destro to the bathroom. Sitting there he thought for few moments.
"But... Master. How what you are doing influences the count of ferals? You turn innocent people into vampires and make them test subjests or pets. How it.. works?", he asked softly. "And.. I don't want to sound rude.. but.. don't you show other vimpires that everything is alright if you make profit from it and come around strong?"
Looking at other vampire he tilted his head.
"Should I help with washing?"

[RedRose4]

Noticing that Ashley came into the bathroom, Destro eyed him shortly before shaking his head and taking his clothes off. It didn’t matter if his pet was in the room, it barely seemed to effect him. Turning the shower on while listening to Ashley, Destro didn’t reply until he stepped in and glanced over at the man. “Like I said. I’m not trying to be the ‘good guy’, in fact I know what I do is pretty fucked up, almost as bad as creating feral’s but I don’t really seem to care.” Destro grumbled but then went on to speak.
“And yes, sometimes people try to do the same as me, but you know what I do? I kill them. And since it’s black market, only in this region, I try to keep it as secret as possible, although if others do begin doing what I do, then I’d either kill them, or work with them. I don’t care for the vampires I turn, it’s pretty messed up what is done to them, but…it’s not the worst out there…”

Destro began washing his arm off, making sure the blood was gone before focusing on his blonde hair. “There’s even more things out there that can be considered worse. For example, a vampire I heard of in another country harvests humans. He keeps hundreds of human woman as prisoners, lets human men rape them, and when they give birth he uses their newborn children for food. I heard his ‘family’ feeds off of at least three children a day... now that Ashley….is too much for me.”
Destro looked away and closed his eyes, washing off and keeping quiet not. Most of the time, when you think something is bad, there’s always something worse out there. Destro knew that all too well.

[zajawa]

Ashley hearing thought for few moments and then decided to ask something. He knew all too well that he could be punished for that but he just couldn't sbe quiet.
"So.. you, Master, to have a heart. But... why you keep saying that about being soulless.. and being only a body. Do you think vampires can't be happy without that??", he asked, looking at Destro.
His face showed that he only was a bit curious, nothing more. No other feelings that were laying deep inside him.

[RedRose4]

Gritting his teeth, Destro kept washing his body and hair, a bit irritated but he answered anyways. “I’m trying to stop my emotions, but I still have some unfortunately. I think a vampire is a monster, no matter who it is. Monsters don’t have souls, nor should they have any sort of feelings. So…yes, we all have emotions but a vampire shouldn’t need that. We’re animals, things that strive off of blood from the weak in order to survive and stay strong. Having a guilty conscience and being created to kill don’t work well together Ashley. That’s why I want you to stop being such a pussy.” Destro said, clearly annoyed now although he was answering whatever his pet wanted because…he had no reason not to.
“When a lion hunts, it never holds guilt afterwards for killing a doe or a fawn. If a male lion takes over a new pride, he’ll kill the cubs that don’t belong to him because it’s part of life. Vampires should be the same…we shouldn‘t have guilt or mercy…” Destro sighed, then remembering what he said about helping with washing off.
“Since you offered, I need a hand…” Destro turned, showing off his back as he allowed Ashley to see it. Passing his pet a cloth with soap, the vampire ignored the fact that he was showing off the multiple amounts of scars scattering everywhere along his back. The marks those fifty years never allowed to heal.

[zajawa]

Not really fazed by his masters abrupt anger he got closer and started to wash his back, being really careful. After thinking a bit more he decided to speak up.
"But they don't have any more complicated thoughts. Just because we are craving for blood doesn't mean we need to be like animals. Wouldn't it be stupid to abandon the only thing that differs us from animals? I think there can be better use of powers that vampire gains after stopping being a human. You could be like a hero yet you chose to be like a devil. You are really strong, Master.. and who could show vampires different way than you? Yet.. although you know how awful it is to be a subject to tests you are not doing anything. I can't understand why..", said Ashley, knowing he would be probably punished but didn't care right now.

[RedRose4]

Destro kept his eyes ahead, looking at the wall and hearing what Ashley said. Clenching his hands at his side, Destro shook his head and spoke, his voice even worse now. “Humanity is left inside of a vampire, it is impossible to get rid of. We were all once humans, been through the stages of childhood, being raised as an infant and then grow up to be this. I know what you’re saying Ashley, but to make it easier for me, I try and forget about that part of my life, try to become…colder emotionally.”
Destro closed his eyes, clenching his jaw and releasing a unsteady breath, trying to control himself. “You have no idea…what I’ve been through. Don’t think you can tell me how I treat others due to my past, because you don’t know my past Ashley.” Destro turned, making him stop.
“Leave me alone okay? Before I break one of your fucking arms, just…leave the bathroom just don’t leave my room.” Destro said, sounding more defeated than angry. Turning to look away from his pet, the vampire closed his eyes and put a hand to his head, obviously agitated.

[zajawa]

Ashley hearing all that really wanted to leave.. but somehow couldn't. Fighting back his fear he reached up.. and hugged the man that took everything from him.
"I can't imagine what happened to you, Master. But.. being soulless won't help you. I know that better than anyone", he said softly. "I can't imagine how it was being there. In there.. ebing subjected to awful things. And what you need to do in vampires society to be regarded as strong. But.."
Ashley just stopped. He knew that what was waiting for him now was probably only pain. But to keep his humanity.. the person he was for disappearing he needed to do that. It wasn't possible to keep those words inside him.

[RedRose4]

Destro stopped moving when he felt Ashley’s arms around him, his blue eyes opening to look down at his pet, his hands frozen in midair as he just listened to what was being said. For a few moments, Destro just looked at Ashley, his expression blank, although after a little while longer, he whispered in a voice that sounded despondent, something he didn’t show very often.
“Don’t pity me.” Destro moved, pushing Ashley’s arms away and still keeping his gaze away from the man nearby. “I don’t want to hear another word from you….don’t make me force you...” Destro had his jaw tightly clenched, standing there motionless as he waited for Ashley to leave, keeping his eyes locked on the tiled wall as if it caught his interest.
