Jane and Michael have been married for four years now, when they had just moved into their new house in Sparta, Illinois. Nice cozy place it was, but the small town had many secrets. It was a very small population as well, but Jane insisted she loved the beautiful red and black house. It was at least four stories high, Victorian style, with trees surrounding it. The original owners of the house vanished, no one knows what happend to them. Everyone in the town believes the house is haunted by vampires, for at least three people a night are killed.
"Michael!?" Jane yelled from the kitchen. "Yes darling?" Jane looked at him with tears streaming down her face, "They broke my mothers vase!" "I'm sure we can just glue it back together," he says laughing a little. "It's not funny! She gave me this before she died." "I'm sorry about the vase Jane," he says, hugging her. Jane hugged him tightly when someone knocked on the front door. Michael walked into the front hall, and opened the the front door, "Can I help you?" Two women stayed infront of him, one with apple pie, and the other with homemade cheese cake, "I'm Amanda, and this is Ashley, we wanted to welcome our new neighbors," Amanda said with a smile. "I'm Michael, and my wife Jane is in the kitchen, would you like to come inside?" The two women looked at Michael with a bit of puzzlement, "N....No, that's ok, we are fine right where we are," said Ashley. "Jane! Come here and help me please," Michael yelled. "Yes darling?" asked Jane. Ashley and Amanda looked at Jane, "We were just welcoming you and your husband to the neighborhood, and we brought you some apple pie, and also cheesecake." Jane smiled, "How thoughtful of you, won't you come inside for a while?"
Ashley and Amanda look at each other, and they decide to come inside, "Yes, but only for a little bit." Michael and Jane move out of the door way. Ashley and Amanda walk inside looking around, "Wow this place is nice, I haven't been in here for years," said Amanda. Jane looked at Amanda, "You guys have been here before?" "Yes, when we were younger, a rich family used to live here, and I was friends with one of their daughters, but see, after the children went missing, the family moved out," replied Amanda. "What do you think happend to the children?" Michael asked. Ashley looks at him, "Some say they were murdered, others say vampires have been living in the attic of this house for centuries, and that they took the children." Amanda shoves Ashley, "Don't tell them such stories! You'll scare them."
The wind outside picks up as they all continue their conversation inside, the sun starting to set. "Vampires??" Jane asked them. "Yes, vampires, you know, immortals with fangs?" Ashley laughed. "Nonsense, vampires don't exist, i'm sure something else just happend to those kids," Jane said. Amanda starred at Jane, "You never know, they could exist, afterall, we have at least 3 killings every night in this town." Michael looks at the two girls, "Ok, enough talk about vampires please, who wants some cheesecake?" "I'm afraid we have to go, we never stay out past dark," replies Amanda. "Ugh, no cheesecake?" Ashley whines. "No...we must leave now, before they wake..." demands Amanda. Ashley pouts her lip at Amanda, but gets up and heads for the front door with her. "Will you guys stop by sometime soon?" asked Jane. "Sure," Amanda smiled and they walked out of the house, closing the door behind them. "What strange people we have in our town Jane," said Michael. Jane laughed, "Vampires my ass! They don't exist." Michael walked into the kitchen, Jane followed, "You don't seriously believe them do you?" Jane asked. "No, but they seemed to be really afraid of this house, Jane." She laughed a little, "Well get unafraid, and come help me unpack our things in our bedroom." "I'll be up in a minute hun, start without me."
Jane nods and walks up the stairs, walking down the hall and into the master bedroom. She unpacks a few of their things when she hears footsteps on the ceiling above her. "Janeeeee......" a voice calls out to her. Jane turns around, "Who's there??" "We're hungry Jane...." the voice sounded again, only this time, it was a more hungryish tone. Jane starts screaming for Michael. "Whats wrong??" Michael yells, running up the stairs and into the bedroom. "I heard voices! I think someone is in our house Michael!!" Michael walked over to her,..."Nonsense, this house has been empty for years, you're probably just hearing things." Jane sits down on the bed, "You don't believe me, do you?" "Of course I do hunny, but cmon, do you really think there are vampires in this house?" "No, but...I really heard voices," she replies. Michael hugs Jane tightly, when the power goes out throughout the house, "Damnit, stay here Jane, i'll go turn the lights back on." Jane sits on the bed in the darkness, wishing Michael didn't leave her alone. She hears footsteps walking across the ceiling above their bedroom again. Looking up at the ceiling, the bedroom door opens....a dark figure walks inside the room, "Michael?" Jane calls out. The dark figure snickers, "I think not..." Jane starts screaming, Michael hearing this, he comes running back to the bedroom, only to find Jane gone. "Jane!!!???" Michael yells, hearing nothing in response. The dark figure carries Jane's knocked out body up the attic stairs, and throws her down onto the floor. Four other figures come out of from the shadows of the attic, "Why did you bring her up here!?" the elder spoke. "They are a threat to this house! It's our's!" the dark figure says. Jane wakes up, looking around the room, "Where am I?" The elder looks at her, "You are in my house....." Jane looks at him with a confused face, "Your house? We just moved in." The elder turns on the light in the room, flashing his fangs at her, "This is my house!! You humans are not welcome here!!" The other three vampires walk towards her when she speaks,.."OMG, you two are those children that went missing aren't you??" They tilt their head, looking at her weirdly, "Children of the night, we are now, and you, our cattle." "Now, now children," the elder said, "We will let her go with a warning, if she and her husband does not leave this house by morning, she will be damned along with us! Do I make myself clear, Jane?" Jane swallows hard in fear, "Y..Yes." The dark figure who carried her to the attic, brings her into the living room, he then disappears. "Michael!?" she yells loudly, starting to cry. Happy to hear her voice, Michael runs into the living room, seeing Jane in a pool of tears, "What happend??" "Vampires.....they are in the attic Michael, we must get out, or else, they will make me one of them, and kill you..." Michael looks at her, "What?" "You heard me Michael!! Can we please leave this house?" Jane asked. "Jane, we can't leave, I just transfered to a job here, we can't just up and leave like that! Look I promise you nothing will happen to us, ok?" "But Michael, we can't stay," she replies. "Yes, we fucking can, and we will! I'm not going to let a bunch of vampires control us!!" Jane looks down at the floor, continuing to cry, "You'd risk the life of your wife?" "Hunny, it's not that, ok? It's just, you wanted this house, I paid a lot for this house, we are not leaving, ok?" he asked her. "Fine, but don't say I didn't warn you...." she says, storming out the front door. "Jane where are you going!?" Michael yelled. "For a walk, and don't follow me!" Michael sighs and close the door, sitting down onto the couch. Jane walks down the street, the wind blows softly across her skin, her long brown hair flowing with it. She wipes her tears, listening to the trees swaying as she walked passed them. "A little late to be out for such a young lady, is it not?" a voice behind her spoke. Jane turned around, "I needed some fresh air...." The darkly figured man walked up to her, the moon light shines down on his long black hair. She could see his face perfectly, his bright green eyes, and pale skin. "I am, Morbius, and you are M'lady?" "Jane, my name is Jane." Morbius smiled at her, "A lovely name for a beautiful woman, such as yourself." Jane blushes, "I like your name as well." "So why, are you out here all alone?" Morbius asked her. Jane frowned a little, "I had gotten into a fight with my husband, it seems to me, that i'm not important to him anymore." Morbius looks at her, "Your husband is a fool then." Jane looked at him, "Sometimes I wonder why I even married him," she says looking down at the ground. Morbius holds her chin up, smiling at her, "Another will come along...." "Another?" she asked him. He laughed, "Yes, another, you will fall for another man...," he says smiling, "I know what you lust for Jane, your darkest desire." Morbius pushes her back up against a tree, "I know what lies in your heart." The wind picks up, Jane looks at him, "What lies in my heart? What is my darkest desire?" Morbius grabs her butt, bringing her in closer to him, "You yearn to be with someone like me," he says, running his fangs across her neck. Jane lets out a little moan, running her fingers through his long hair, "What else?" Morbius looks at her, "I know that you yearn to be like one of them." "One of them?" she asked. "I know that they brought you into the attic Jane! I was not there, but I am one of them," he says, squeezing her ass with his hands. "Y...You want me dead...." she says trembling. "No, the others want you dead, but I won't allow it...." he says to her, "After all, I am the one who made them..." Morbius leans down and kisses Jane deeply, massaging his tongue with hers, biting her bottom lip, with his fang, and drawing some blood, "Mmmm so sweet your blood is." "Jane!!!!" Michael yells. Jane shakes her head, as if she was dreaming. Morbius was no where in sight. Michael runs up to her, "Don't leave me like that again! Do you hear me? I was so worried."
"You were worried about me?" Jane asked him, "You don't care about me,..you never did!" Michael tries to hug her, but jane pushes him away, "What is your problem?" he asked. She snickers at him, "My problem is that you never cared about my life...." she says walking back towards the house. "That's fucking nonsense Jane!! I love you and you know that," he replies. "You don't love me Michael,..." she says, feeling drops of rain fall onto her skin. Michael grabs her arm, "Don't you ever say that again....I do love you and thats the truth!." She pulls her arm loose, and walks up the front steps of the house, going inside. Michael follows behind her, Morbius watching in the distance. "Jane...." Michael looks at her. "Don't talk to me!" she yells, "I'm going to bed, goodnight, you can sleep on the couch!" She storms up the stairs, and into the bedroom. Michael slams the front door. Morbius rings the doorbell. Opening the door, Michael sees no one, "Hello!?" He walks outside, and the front door slams shut. "What the hell?" Michael says trying to get back into the house. "Jane, open up!! I locked myself outside!!" he says banging on the front door, but Jane doesn't come. "She is mine now...." Morbius says, grinning at Michael. "What? Who are you?" Michael looks around. "Your worst nightmare," Morbius says, lashing out at him, holding him tightly while he sinks his fangs into Michael's neck. Michael gasps trying to knock Morbius off of him. "It is useless to struggle," Morbius says in Michael's mind. Morbius feels Michael's body go limp in his arms, dragging his body across the street, and leaving it beside the neighbors house. The next morning Jane wakes up, opening the drapes that covers her windows. She walks down the stairs, wearing her nightgown, and walks into the kitchen, making herself some coffee. "Michael??" she yelled, but no response. Thinking nothing of it, she walks to the front door and opens it, picking up her newspaper. "Hey Jane!!" Ashley yells, "How was your night in the new house?" Not remembering much of last night, she responds, "Oh you could say it was quite alright," Jane says with a smile. Amanda smiles, "I bet it was." "Would you two like some coffee?" Jane asked them. They both shrug their shoulders, "Sure, why not," and walk into her house. Jane walks in, closing the door. "So where is Michael?" Amanda asked Jane. "To be honest, I don't know, I woke up and he was gone," Jane replies. "They probably got him," Amanda said. "They?" Jane asked. "Yes, you know, the vampires in the attic," replies Ashley. "I saw you with Morbius last night...." says Amanda. "Morbius?" "Yes, the head vampire, he is the one who made the others," Amanda replies to Jane, "And I see that he wants you to be by his side...." "How do you know all of this?" Jane asked them both.
