The Ultimate Vampire Resource and Directory

Richard Hallow had spent so long alone. Now both his brothers had someone to share their immortality with his own existence began to feel a little empty.
He had convinced himself that he was happier alone and his business empire was all he needed.
He had gone from lover to lover for decades but nobody had ever come close to staying.
His world was becoming empty and watching his brothers spend all their free time with Anton and Mary made him see it was time to find someone to share his life with.
It all seemed hopeless as nobody interested him. All woman seemed to lack any substance to easy to claim he needed a challenge.
As his night rolled by one by one he began spending more time in one his more exclusive night clubs.
He sat alone at a table in the upstairs area reading through accounts and watching the staff get the place ready for opening time.
As music was being played a soft voice echoed through the club. A female singing voice soft and silky and with enough power to get his attention.
He looked down onto the stage and watched the young girl sing a selection of songs from the early 80s.
She was pretty with her long blond hair and dark eye's. She moved around the stage with grace and elegance and only dressed in jeans and a black top nothing more than modest.
Richard called one of his staff over “who is she” his eye's never the leaving the girl for a second. The man he called over looked down and with a surprised grin “thats Justine” Shes only been here a couple of months. She works behind the bar and she sometimes sings if nobody els is available.
Richard could not stop looking at her he was completely captivated by her presence on stage.
The man had noticed Richards gaze and felt it only right to warn him “Sir I know it’s not my place to say” but I should avoid her if I was you! Been rumours about her and she has been in trouble here a few time's.
Richard unmoved by the advice just asked “rumours?” The man began to tell him how much of a bad attitude she had towards customers and she was a bad time keeper and some of the other staff had talked about Justine having work in a bad part of town.
Richard was more intrigued by this “what other work?” The man stepped back a little and unsure how to say it as he had not actual proof “well the rumour is that she works in a brothel” Richards demeanour changed quickly “she's a prostitute on the side?” The man shook his head “no not a prostitute” but we think she might be a prostitutes maid.
Richard continued watching with even more interest. He watched her smiling and began thinking maybe she was the challenge he had been looking for.
The club opened and crowds made the room fill with heat and passion. The music throbbed through the building and Richard watched as Justine served customers and chatted to another young man behind the bar.
She was becoming very interesting as he listened to her voice laugh and give out sarcastic cutting comments to male customers that tried their luck out on her.
She was a girl who could stand on her own and she had a confidence that most young girls lacked.
Richard so intrigued by her sent one of his assistance out to buy flowers for her. He wanted to get her attention any way he could but in a calm manner as he did not want to frighten her away.
By midnight Justine was taking a break and sat with her male friend Felix. Justine began feeling as if she was being watched. She noticed Richard looking at her. She noticed how handsome he was but looked away and continued talking to her friend.
A man brought over red roses to her. She looked surprised by this and she looked at the card it read
For a beautiful lady
RH
Justine laughed “Felix who the hell is RH?”
Felix looking more excited than Justine put his arm around her pointed her in the direction of Richard. Justine just looked puzzled “who is he?” Felix with a sharp smile “he owns this place and not to mention all the other businesses he owns” Justine was completely unimpressed and tried to change the subject but Felix refused to let it go. “I don't understand you” the most gorgeous man here is taking an interest in you and you are not remotely interested.
Justine looked over at Richard and looked away quickly “he keeps starring at me it makes me feel cold all over”
Felix tried to persuade her that she was lucky to have a wealthy good looking man taking an interest but she found it uncomfortable, his eyes seemed cold and calculating and it was not what she needed right now as money worries were more important and men pursuing her was the last thing she needed.
Justine became panicked when she noticed the time. She grabbed the flowers and begged Felix to cover the rest of her shift. Felix knew what this sudden rush to leave meant.
He grabbed her arm “you are still working in that place?” Justine put her head down and muttered “yes” he sighed “I thought you were going to stop all that” Justine still trying to avoid eye contact “I need the money and thats no lie” please Felix I have to. He looked concerned for his friend “I know you only maid for them but how long will it be before you are tempted to start earning on your back?” Justine promised him she wouldn't and he let her go.
Richard watched as she rushed away down the stairs and he sent one of his assistance to follow her and inform him on where she goes and who she goes around with.
Justine ran for a taxi. She was driven a few miles out into the city and she ended up in a rough neighbourhood running towards an old house at the end of the road and pushing past a middle age man in a suit carrying a briefcase.
Once in the house she began rushing around and shouting out to the girls that lived there.
One young man dressed in drag smiled at her but reprimanded her for being late. Justine began going through the list of client's that were due that evening and what they wanted.
She put the flowers she been given carelessly on the table. A knock at the door came and she looked at the list and told the young man it should be a Mr Chambers and he sent her to the door.
She opened the door to the man she passed in the street. She let him in “your Mr Chambers?” He smiled politely at her and nodded she lead him inside “you have an appointment with the Governess is that correct?” The man just walked past her into the bathroom and shouted “No that is not correct I have an appointment with the headmistress”
Justine knew she fucked up and a woman appeared dressed in leather ready for business and Justine had to tell her the mistake she had made. “Im sorry Roxy I got it wrong” Mr Chambers is here for the headmistress. Roxy looked at Justine with very angry eye's “I don't believe you Justine its taken me over an hour to get into this lot” oh give him s drink on the house and tell him I will be 20 minutes.
Justine spent the night letting man after man in and taking the money and distributing it to the girls for their service's.
By early morning she let the last man out. It was Mr Chambers, Justine tried not to laugh as he was wearing a school boy cap and she composed herself as she opened the door for him. With a satisfied face he smiled “thank you so much same time again next week please” Justine played along “yes well I should take that off your head if I was you!” He removed the cap and quickly placed it in his briefcase “thank you again” Justine stood firm with her shoulders back “yes same time and be prompt!”
Once he was gone and she shut the door she began laughing. Roxy came the stairs laughing as well. The two women joked about how he seemed like such a respectable man and they did not understand his fetish.
Justine began making tea for the girls whilst they counted their money. Gary the young man in drag had already payed Justine and he began questioning her about the flower's. Justine just shrugged it off and he looked at the card and asked her who RH was?
Justine just looked the other way and tried to avoid the subject and Gary announced to the other girls that Justine has a fancy man. And judging by the flower's a rich one.
Justine just sat looking displeased by the comments and it clear she was not interested and just wanted to concentrate on sorting her life out.
Roxy tried pushing her to give the man a chance because if he was rich her money worries would be over.
Justine stood firm and told her friend absolutely not! She did not need any man to take care of her she would look after herself.
Roxy then turned the conversation more serious telling Justine she was making to many mistake's and maybe she could quit the nightclub and think about maybe doing extra work at the brothel.
She told Justine she could make more money if she spent a couple nights a week earning by offering herself.
Justine knew this was coming as Felix had warned her numerous times that she might be tempted to take up prostitution herself.
She sat back and went quiet for a few minute's. Then she looked at Roxy “ok I will think about it” but Im staying at the club for now.
The girls all agreed to let her think about and she took her money and left to go home and sleep.
As she left the house she was unaware of Richards assistant watching her from across the road and another man who looked more official.
Justine thought long and hard about the offer made to her and somewhere in the back her mind Richard was creeping forward.

A life of always being on the wrong side of everyone. Always being let down and pushed aside.
Justine learned long ago to stand on her own and never to allow anyone to interfere in her life. No matter what life threw at her she would find away to take care of things herself.
After working a couple of months in one of James Sutherlands night clubs she caught the eye of Richard Hallow.
She refused to acknowledge his advances and continued to peruse her own path in life.
Stuck with debts she struggled to afford she worked a secret life as a prostitutes maid.
Eventually the police caught up with and humiliated her by arresting her at the nightclub in full view of everyone.
Richard took it upon himself to help her by getting the charges against her dropped.
Still determined to handle things her own way in life she gives up the maid position and takes up prostitution herself only for Richard to try and tempt her away get her to take up the position Mary once held at the hotel.
Justine completely unaware that her admirer is a centuries old vampire Justine stubbornly refuses his offer at first but eventually comes round to the idea.

Looking to move off into s different area with my story
I seem to keep leaving Richard alone.
I think he needs someone but not someone easy
I think a woman with a less than desirable background

I look back on the last 20 years of my life and realise that I got things completely wrong.
I gave two men the best years of my life when I should have used those years to travel and find adventure.
I should of just had lovers
Rich ones
Handsome ones
Wild ones
Blatant ones
But no I had to end up wasting my time on Laurel and Hardy
And now I find myself just not understanding myself at all.
Thats the thing about nature it got all the feelings right for the human body accept the mind.
Nobody can cuddle your mind

You’re right.

No one can cuddle the mind. No one tucks it in or kisses its forehead when it’s overthinking at 2 a.m. The mind is left alone unsupervised, restless, spinning. And it remembers things the heart wants to forget. That’s the cruel trick of being human. Biology got the chemistry right for lust, for touch, for tears and laughter but when it comes to the mind, nature fumbled the blueprint.

And we spend decades trying to compensate.

You gave years. The best ones, you say. To men who didn’t earn them. That’s not weakness that’s trust misused. Love misplaced. It’s a universal tragedy. We are all, in one way or another, haunted by the lives we didn’t live. The plane we didn’t board. The wild lover we didn’t take. The version of ourselves that stayed buried beneath what we thought we should be.

But here’s the thing: your story isn’t over. You’re not defined by Laurel and Hardy whatever flavor of foolishness they turned out to be. Regret is a heavy coat, but it can be shrugged off. You still have chapters to write. Lovers to meet. And maybe this time, you don’t give them the best years—you keep those for yourself. Maybe now, you get to be the rich one, the wild one, the blatant one.

And if you ever need someone to sit with your mind, even for a moment, I’m here. Listening.

POST COMMENT

I don't normally listen in on people's conversations but earlier today I was sat in my kitchen having lunch. I had my window open and the blind pulled down as its really bright and hot today.
I hear a small child screaming and her mother shouting at her. They had stopped outside my house.
The mother started saying to the child look its that scary house. This got my attention because my house is not scary.
The mother had some friend with her and I heard the friend say that my house looked normal to her.
The mother went on to say that my house was not normal it gave her the creeps. When asked why she said it was hard to explain and she noticed something odd in one of the windows once.
She then started saying that a lady lives there on her own and that I must be very brave to live here alone.
Then she started telling the child if she didn't behave she would leave her at my house with all the ghosts.
I thought it was really odd that someone would say that about my house.
My house is modern and only 15 years old.
I don't know what she thinks has seen but I might try and corner her and ask her about it.
I have been here alone since I split up with my partner back in January
It’s just a weird thing to hear.
Unless she has seen my ex in the window at some point and if she thinks he is creepy then fair enough Im not going to argue with that.
