The Ultimate Vampire Resource and Directory

Together and I was starting to wonder if there was such a word. I turned to the door of the flea market just in time to see the devil enter the store. He looked directly at me and smiled, "Well now that both of you have sinned I think that both of you know where you will end up at."

Just then another voice bellowed out and said, "In the eyes of the Heavenly father true love is not sin. You are wrong for telling God's children that they sin when in truth you are living sin, Satan."

Another one of Raph's conrads came from behind us. He nodded at me and walked towards Satan. He drew a sword and a blinding light entered the room. Satan howled with pain and ran out the front door. The dude with the sword turned to us, "You are both safe now. God has sent me to tell you both that love is destined for you and Raphael, Stacey. True love is never a sin. You are destined to do God's work here now Raphael."

Raphael sighed, "I don't understand, am I to live here on Earth now?"

The other angel nodded, "Yes you are to live with time and space as a human. Now you are not an angel anymore. There will come a time when Stacey must make an important decision that will effect both of you. Make it with a clean heart and a clean mind Stacey. Good luck to the both of you."

I got up and questioned him, "And what angel are you supposed to be?"

He smiled, "The one who was there when Jesus was born and the day he was crucified. I am the angel Gabriel."

I nodded and watched as he walked into a bright light and disappeared. Raphael took my hand and kissed it, "I told you that everything would work out. I am mortal now, Stacey. I don't know where to begin."

I smiled, "I don't know what to tell you. I am new to finding out that an angel is my true love. Why don't we start off by getting some thing to eat? I feel like I could go for a cheese burger."

He smiled and we went out of the store knowing not of what the future held for us. As long as we had each other I thought things would be okay, or would they? I knew the devil would be back and when he came he would bring the legions of Hell with him.

I burst into laughter, "What are you? Are you a messenger from God?"

He got up, "I guess you could call me that. They call me Raphael in Heaven. You can call me Raph. I am here to protect you from Satan. And of course to help lead you into the right direction. So I am supposed to disguise myself as a human."

I laughed more, "Good luck cause wearing sandles with dress pants is kind of going to stand out especially in it being winter right now. You need some serious coaching on the ways of humans Raph. Come on we are going to my favorite store...the flea market."

He shrugged, "Well I guess we have a deal then. You teach me the ways of humans and I will be your protector from Satan."

I nodded, "Yeah whatever! we'll discuss this God thing later. Right now we have to get you some new clothes."

He followed me till we came across the flea market. We went inside and came to the magazine section. He went over and picked up a magazine as I was getting him some jeans. It had Playboy written on the front and I gasped. He was looking at it and smiling. He had no clue what kind of smut he was actually looking at. I ran up to him and got it away fromhim. He looked at me and tried to pull it back but I sighed, "You can't be looking at that kind of stuff if you expect to stay in Heaven, Raph. Come on and get away from that section of the store."

I threw him the pants and told him to go and try them on. He stopped and said, "I don't know how to put on these contraptions. You will have to come in and help me."

I gulped and looked up at the ceiling and said, "Dear heavenly father I think I am going to sin." Raph laughed, "How are you going to sin? You are just helping me put on some pants."

I smiled, "That is exactly the problem. You are male and I am female...oh that is right you don't know what sex is. What he does he teach you guys up there?"

Raph sighed, "Well I can play tennis very well. I can cook and make lemonade. I make a lemonade just perfect. I will have to make you some before I leave."

I rolled my eyes and we went inside the dressing room. I pulled the pants down that he was wearing and I drew in a deep breath. God was he built! His thighs were muscular and his chest was mouth watering. He had a perfect six pack and here I was touching him. My fingers accidently touched his belly and I sucked in a wild breath again. Finally I could stand no more. I was attracted to the thing that would cause me pain. I sighed, "I can't do this if I have to do this I am gonna go insane."

He smiled innocently, "You weren't doing anything to harm me. Please continue to help me Stacey. Why do you draw back when you touch me? In Heaven that is the way we acknowledge each other is to touch and get to know one another."

I sighed, "Well one thing you are going to learn down here is that touching can cause sin when it is between female and males. If I touch you anymore then we are going to do something we both will regret."

Just as I opened the door to the dressing room he got in front of me. In front of us demonic beings were attacking other shoppers and were headed towards me. One demon stood out from the rest. He called my name and as if in a trance I went up to him. I heard Raph's voice in my head strong and clear and before the demon could grab me I ran away, or tried to.

An arrow from a bow whizzed by me and landed in my shoulder. I watched as the demons laughed and disappeared. I looked down at my white tank top that now had a red spot blossoming up on it. The last thing I remembered seeing was Raph's face and I crumpled to the ground. The next thing I heard was a soft melodic voice calm me. It was so mesmerizing and I couldn't help but think I surely must be in Heaven.

I woke up in this white room and there stood Raph in nothing but a white kilt and sandles. He had these big huge white wings and was saying to me that I was going to be okay. I began to cry, "You are so beautiful, Raph. Where am I? Am I in Heaven?"

He shook his head, "Not yet Stacey you have some time left before you go there. Do you trust me Stacey?"

I nodded, "Yes I completely and totally trust you Raph. I don't know why or how but I do. What is happening to me?"

He smiled as his face drew near to mine. He pulled me against him and pulled my head against his chest. We floated up into the clouds and I wasn't sure where I was. Then the unthinkable happened that sealed both our fates. His lips touched mine and a power entered me that I had never felt before. I closed my eyes and melted in his arms.

When I opened my eyes he still held me. I sighed, "Raph that shouldn't have happened. Now we both have sinned and I don't know if I can get you out of this Raph."

I sighed heavily and he came up to me, pulled me against him, and said, "If this is sinning then it shouldn't be. This is better than anything that has ever happened to me, Stacey. I feel something for you that I have never felt for anyone else."

I sighed, "No this can't happen! You are an angel, a messenger for God. THis isn't right, Raph. You can't do this."

He sighed, "Then why does it feel right? It is right even if it isn't. Whatever comes our way we will face it together."

I am a perfect person in no way fashion or form. I love to drink and gamble. I swear all the time and don't believe in the one Christian god. I am Pagan wasn't ever one to believe in anything if I couldn't touch it or taste it. Till the day that I ran into trouble.

I had written a letter to Satan just joking around and the Church of Satan had actually gotten ahold of it and read it. They had taken it to their leader and somehow their leader had made amends to find me. I happened to be walking home from the grocerie store when I heard footsteps behind me.

I turned to see a man following me wearing sunglasses, and Armani suit, and had his long hair in a ponytail. He caught up to me and asked, "Are you Stacey Blair?"

I nodded, "Yeah I am why do you ask?" He smiled, "Just the person I am looking for. I have heard that you do not believe in God or Satan. May I inquire why?"

I shrugged, "My religion does not believe in either one. Why should I believe in something that I don't really believe in? Who are you to actually question me?"

He simply said, "I am called many names but you can call me Lucifer. I have been looking for you Stacey to prove a point. I exist and just wanted to show you that I do. Now should we actually go somewhere where we could have a decent conversation?"

I gulped, "Uh not to diss you or anything, but I think you are completely insane. No I actually don't have the time to have a conversation with you sorry to disappoint you, Lucifer."

He sighed, "Have it your way but haven't you always heard that you don't piss Satan off? I might want to suggest that you don't. Sometimes I can get very hostile."

I sighed, "Thanks for the valuable information that I will more and likely never use. You have proved that you are hospitable company but maybe some other time we can actually have that conversation. You more and likely get lonely down there in hell and I will be more than happy to talk to you sometimes. Have a great day and life, Lucifer."

Two miles down the road I came upon a guy wearing a rain coat even though it was not raining outside. He had long black hair down to his shoulders but it was not pulled back. He looked at me and said, "You must avoid the devil at all costs Stacey. God has plans for you."

The night was overcast with no stars in the sky. Todd looked out the window and starred at the bustling traffic of the town where he lived. He walked upstairs to tell his wife Stacey that he didn't think they had nothing to fear of their new apartment. Two weeks ago Stacey had seen the ad in the paper for a two bedroom apartment in the town where they lived up above an old store that had once caught fire.

The building had been restored and brought to life again. The store downstairs was an old style bakery. People said that there had been an old woman to have been burned alive during the fire. It was said her angry spirit haunted the store and apartment because she didn't like people in her domain.

Todd and Stacey were both empathic and decided the rumors were simply too much. They took the apartment anyways and decided that the spirit would just be a part of their lives. That night Todd went to bed with Stacey beside him. For about four hours he slept peacefully. At 3:15 in the morning he awoke to the sounds of a loud banging coming from the outside of his door.

It was as if someone was wanting to come in. He got up and padded into the living room and up to the door. He opened the door but no one was there. He looked outside thinking that maybe one of his friends had been playing a trick on him, but no one was in sight.

He went back to bed thinking nothing more of it. The next night the same thing happened again at 3:15 in the morning. This time there came an eerie voice with it, "Get Out!"

This scared Todd a litte bit but he just shook it off and blamed it on his overactive imagination. The next evening when he came home from work Stacey was huddled in a corner moaning and shaking with fear. He asked her what had happened and she said she had been attacked by an old woman who disappeared right before her eyes.

Stacey had been in more than one of these battles before. Stacey was a witch and could also see dead people and feel them. Being empathic to their feelings didn't help either. Todd helped her to a chair and said, "Is it an old woman? What did she want?"

Stacey said, "She is angry with us for taking her house and store. She thinks that we are taking over and she doesn't like it. She wants us to get out. I don't think she knows she is dead, Todd."

Stacey continued, "I told her that we lived here now and that she was dead. I told her she needed to learn to share the apartment and store with other people or move on. She didn't like what I had to say and she attacked me. I have a bruise on my hip where she pushed me and I fell. I am thinking about doing a spell and if she thinks to battle me then we will battle and I will win."

Just then an old lady walked through the wall. Todd could see her as plain as day. He looked at Stacey but she stood strong instead of cowering. The old woman said, "I thought I told you both to get out of my place."

Todd spoke first, "This is no longer your place. You are dead and need to move on. I think you need to realize this old woman."

Stacey spoke a spell, "Leave this place and never return, as above so the fire of this candle will burn. As above so mote it be!"

The apparition disappeared and the apartment became quiet. The air was no longer thin and there was finally peace. Todd smiled and turned to her, "Well I am glad I have my little witch living with me. Good job hun."

From then on peace reined and they saw no more of the old lady.

The night was a little windy and cold for late August in the South. Kara and her friend Jamie were on their way home from a concert. They had the heater blasting and the radio turned up loud. They were still pumped up from the concert.

Jamie looked at her and said, "Wouldn't it be cool if a real thing like a vampire existed?"

Kara sighed, "No I don't think it would. Vampires really do terrify me."

Kara dropped Jamie off at her house and headed to her own. Suddenly as she entered her drive way she noticed that someone had evidently moved into the house next door. She paid it no attention and headed up to her bedroom. The next afternoon while her and Jamie were going towards her house she saw an old hearse bring in two coffins and take them inside the old house next door.

Kara sighed worried about Jamie's theory that vampires existed. That evening after Jamie had left Kara decided to go downstairs and get something to eat. Usually her mother did not save her anything from supper because it did no good. Kara never ate it. Kara's mother sat in her big recliner laughing as someone else talked to her. Kara looked down at her watch that read 12:00 a .m. It was midnight and vampires were allowed out by then.

Kara's mother stood up once Kara had entered the room. She spoke, "Hey honey I want you to meet our neighbors, the Schvates. They come all the way from Russia. This is their son Alexander. Would you take him up to your room and show him the books that you have to do in school? They are thinking they might home school him but have also thought about night school as well."

Alexander was very charming. He had the most impressionable accent. The night flew by into morning. All Kara could remember was talking to him and him leaving. She woke up ten minutes late for school. She went to the bathroom and saw two teeth marks on her neck.

It looked like a giant hickey. She paid no attention to it and went on to school. Once at school she found she had no taste for food or water or even her favorite soda. She went home feeling terrible and felt like she had a huge hang over without the alcohol.

That night she slept till eight then got up and walked over to the neighbors to see Alexander.

Once she got there her senses ran wild. She did not know what to think. She rang the doorbell and Alexander's mother answered the door. Alexander came from the kitchen, "Welcome home my love we have been waiting for you."

Kara didn't know what to say or what to do. It was as if she could not control her emotions or mind. She took his hand and they walked to a room upstairs with a fire going in the hearth. He spoke, "For centuries I have longed to have you back beside me but for reasons we have never gotten together before. Now I have a chance to have you for all eternity. Kara, will you be my bride? Will you walk with me?"

Kara was charmed into his embrace but just as he was about to bite into her neck she showed him the crucifix around her neck. He stepped back and howled with laughter. He stopped finally, "Do you honestly think that we are afraid of something such as a cross?"

He took the cross looked at it and threw it across the room, "I am not abhorred by the cross or holy water or stakes. I am a vampire who feeds off human blood and desires to have his true love by him for all eternity. Please do not make me kill you again."

She laughed this time, "You can try, Alexander. Don't you remember what happened that last time? I think I staked you and then you died. How did you manage to get here? I am afterall a slayer."

He glared at her, "Come now cara mia, let's dance again or we could just settle this score and you become my bride like it should have been from the first moment we met. Do you remember when we first met?" She said nothing and he continued, "It was late August like it is now. It was much more warm in Spain. Your father introduced you to me at the Summer Ball. We danced in each others arms till morning and then I had to leave."

She growled, "You tricked me into loving you! I was a slayer even then and I did not know you were a vampire because I had fallen head over heals in love with you. Then you tried to bite me."

He sighed, "Kara if I didn't bite you then how were we supposed to spend eternity together? We are from two different worlds, cara mia. It would never work out if you were to stay human. You would die and I don't think I could live with out you."

She laughed, "Sorry but in this century I don't think your my type! My kind never trusts your kind, Alexander. Welcome to the new millenium my love."

She ran for a chair and they shared a few punches. This made no sense to her but yet it did. From this moment on she was the slayer and no matter who or what stood in her way she was to kill it if it came in the form of a vampire.

She took a chair broke it over her knee and picked up a portion shaped like a stake. With one powerful thrust she stuck it through his heart. For now the evil was gone.
