My right foot has a vaginal yeast infection because she had been cheating on me with my left foot. Aparantly she can't keep her shoe and sock on, especially around my left foot, more so give the fact that my right foot has literaly has every possable v.d. and s.t.d know to man kind and then some. (Sigh) I worry about my left foot, especially after he was molestered back in the eighth grade.
My psychic abilities slowly started kicking in but I didn't realize how much they had kicked in over night. I had taken off the amulet off of my neck and immediately I could hear everyone's thoughts. I could her Abert having some conversation that something to do with the neighbors and Alvin was thinking of another shenanigan he could do for laughs. Levitate Albert's wand is something I haven't tried,he thought. But I quickly put the amulet back on before anyone would notice.
The amulet wasn't some flat piece of metal, it was just this chunk of silver and gold that I was telling you about except it now glowed. I kept the habit of keeping it under my shirt so that noone would notice. The light emanating from the stone didn't seem to pierce through the cloth of my shirt for some reason or another, but whatever.
It was around Wednesday afternoon that I had decided to take the necklace off to test myself, though it was against the advice of Albert, but I just couldn't help myself. The moment i sat the necklace on the lunch room table I had fought myself from falling on the ground but I ended up on the floor anyway. I could hear everyone's thoughts and it disabled me because of it.
I could her the director thinking about how concerned he was about his wife finding out about his mistress, my costar who played a surgeon thinking about his next heroin fix, and the list goes on. I had struggled to pull myself up to grab the necklace and the moment I did I regained my strength and was upon my feet and just tucking the hunk of silver and gold under my shirt when Frank, the one who plays the surgeon on the show, came waltzing into the break room.
"Hey Frank," I said.
"How's it going with your family, John," he said. "Good I hope."
"Oh absolutely, Alvin is growing like a weed and Lilith and I couldn't get more closer." I had gotten giddy when I said this, but then again every proud father and husband would. "Better get back to work," I continued "You know, before the director starts yelling at me."
No more than I shut the door behind me, Frank pulls out a baggy with a brown rock in it and takes out a spoon that he keeps for such occasions. Setting these onto the table he reaches into his pocket again to pull out a lighter and one of those rubber things that nurses use when they take blood from you, I have no Idea what they're called but you know what I mean. He sat there and shot up the heroin and enjoyed the rush he'd gotten from it.
The work week came and went and during my birthday party, everyone was leaving and the sun had started to set. We were all sitting on the couch in front of the television when a black crow came out of nowhere and dropped an envelope made of parchment. Apparently the letter had come from the Count Dracula University of Vampirism.
Lilith and Albert gasped and had the biggest smiles they I'd rarely, if ever seen. Being new to the true world of Vampirism I didn't feel confident in going to some university, I thought that maybe I needed a couple of more months of training would be of help.
"John," Lilith said. "The new year doesn't start until next September, so you have plenty of time to complete your training with Albert."
"Well, Lilith," Albert said. "He just needs to get a hold of his psychic powers before we continue the more advanced stuff."
"I think that Albert said something to me the other day that at the rate that I am going, I'll be as good as any vampire who just graduated high school."
I looked down at the letter and it read:
Dear student,
Welcome to the Count Dracula University of California and thank you for selecting us for your degrees in psychic vampirism and potion making. You will be pleased to know that as part of your training in potions does include a course in alchemy. What you will need is the following items and equipment:
1) A full chemistry set
2) the Complete Alchemists Guide by Albert Fitzgerald
3) Guide to the World of the Psychic Vampire by Albus Smith, which includes an abridgment of the true history of the vampire community in America
4) the Psychic Vampires Guide to Spell Working by Cindy Smith
5) the Vampire Guide to Amulets and How They're Made by Albert Fitzgerald
Sincerely, Count Dracula, Head Master and Ambassador to the European Vampires to America
To say I was smitten is an understatement but I wasn't sure where I was going to get these books.
"I think it's time for him to go down to the Witches Valley," Lilith said.
"I don't see any other way to obtain those books," Albert said. "And I think I can get a good deal on the chemistry kit, to be completely honest with you."
We all sat there watching one of those old, black and white dracula movies quietly and enjoying the charm that you just don't get in any other movie that came out in recent years.
That was the summer that I took the job starring in Dracula, a remake of the old black and white movie. It was the move that thrusted me into the A list and in my spare time I had spent learning the more advanced work as a psychic vampire. Of course I went of to the university but I think that I will save that for another story and another time.
It was this finale incident that we had a sit down with Albert, regardless of his juvinial sense of humor can be both serious and responsible and discussed with him teaching Alvin more responsible than the usual shenanigans.
"Well, alright," Albert said. "Even by my own standards I've allowed things to get a little out of hand."
"Okay, Albert," Lilith said. "And I'm assuming you're still coming on as the nanny this coming summer."
"That's a fair assumption." Albert replied.
"Well then I take it that proper payments are in order as agreed." I said as I pulled out two personal checks with the spaces already filled in by my hand. "The first check is your initial payment for the first month of work and the second is the usual funding for the first month. Also I am assuming you're going to do as you did last summer and that's keeping his mind fresh of what he has already learned thus far and lay the groundwork for the following falls learning."
"Yes," he said. "The kid does well in both mathematics and potions. All around he is a great student but math and potions is where he tends to do well at, closely followed by his spell work. I think we have a real prodigy here, I've got my hope up for him, and a lot of people are expecting great things from him. I honestly think he is what had been prophesied by Nostradamus."
"Prophecy," I said, being surprised. I never heard of Nostradamus, much less a prophecy about my kid. "I don't know anything about a prophecy. And who is this Nostradamus fellow?"
"He was a scryer during the Renaissance who made a great number of prophecies that would turn out to come true," Lilith explained "And one of them happens to be about our son, Alvin. The prophecy states that he would fight a dark figure with the help of three of his fellow classmates. The dark figure is said to be hell bent in obtaining the philosophers stone in order to obtain a great deal of power, both occultic and political, in order to hold the world hostage."
"I've never heard of the philosophers stone," I said.
"It's a stone used in alchemy in order to obtain anything one could imagine. Gold, a potion for a long life, you name it, the philosopher's stone can do it."
"Wait, that would assume that my powers, or any magical person's powers is limited in one form or another." I said.
"Yes," Albert said. "All our powers are limited. But the school keeps the stone carefully and secretly hidden. There are very powerful spells and traps around the vault that it is hidden in so not just anyone can get to it."
I was blown away, I almost felt like I was in some kind of real to life Harry Potter movie. It was during these early years of Alvins life that I realized how much I enjoyed a lot of the witch and wizard material I enjoyed. It would definitely explain why I would watch the same amount of television shows and movies as well as have a lot of books and posters on the subject as much as vampires and werewolves.
This was a real inner journey for me as much as a learning experience. A time of introspective for me and Lilith and I would state up hours to discuss the subject. Soulmates we have always been from the time we had meet on set.
"I think John is ready for more advance levels of magic," Lilith said. She had been doing the laundry like she always does every Saturday morning, talking to Albert on his lunch break.
"You know, Lilith," Albert replied, sitting at the coffee table in the laundry room that also doubled as his break room. "I think your right."
"Really!"
"Yea, I can give a letter of good standing to the university."
"The one near Harvard seems first rate, but the post out their by University of California is probably the best choice all around."
"I think you're right, Lilith, nevermind the fact that you went to the same one and gotten your masters in conjurations and minor in alchemy. Good colleague that one."
"Well, Albert, we do have that nest egg that we've yet to find a reason to crack into."
"Yea," Albert paused and thought for a moment. "Hey! that reminds me, that trust fund for Alvin is coming along just fine."
"Oh, yea, you're right."
"I suppose we could have the news broke over next week's Sunday's' dinner."
"A week from tomorrow is perfect, Albert," Lilith was giddy because not only was she planning a surprise birthday party for John, but the centerpiece of the acceptance letter of John being accepted into one of the best universities for vampires in America, if not the world.
"This is going to be the centerpiece of an already perfect birthday party, Lilith."
"I damn good and well know it, Albert."
"You know, I wonder about something," Albert said as he stroked his beared with both hands. He done this when he has one of his light bulb in his head was turning on. "I wonder about his psychic abilities."
"We've done nothing in the way to know one or the other," Lilith stopping and turning to look at Albert, eye to eye. "Shouldn't take more than a week to find out if he's,"
"Psychic, no, the test shouldn't take more than a week," Albert said, knowing exactly what needed to do in order to administer the test. In a puff of smoke, Albert transfigured to his Alchemist's Lab. He took various herbs and a couple of chemicals and laid them next to some beacons. He then reached behind him to grab some quick silver bars, pick out a ten gram bar, placed the rest back and then obtaining a two gram gold coin.
Like a master he whisked and with a puff of smoke and a small explosion, a potion came out into a small vial and at the bottom of the beacon was a mostly silver stone that was beautifully decorated with golden hues and random golden inlays. It had been a beautiful stone that I have rarely seen, maybe not more than I can count on a single hand or single foot.
The only thing Albert told me about the stone is that it came from years of experimentation and is usually the mark of a master alchemist.
"John, I think I've got a potion that I want you to try," Albert told me that Saturday afternoon.
"I don't suppose that you just want me to drink it without question," I said and then took the quark out of the vial. I had grown use to him just popping in and wanting me to drink potions without question, so I just drank the potion down and it tasted almost like a chocolate shake. "I don't feel anything, Albert, I'll give it a few minutes, unless you know something I don't."
"Yea, give it a few hours," Albert chuckled. "But give it a couple days and the fun really begins."
"What's that suppose ta," but then I paused before saying, "Nevermind, you're not going to tell me to begin with. And besides, I got to take a look at a script I just got the other day, I think I'm going to take it."
"Oh, yea," Albert said, his face lighting up with excitement.
"Yea, it's definitely going to make my carrier," I said, having a look in my eyes, just knowing things are going the way I wanted them to and in such a short time that it was unreal.
"John! Dinner time!" Lilith holder at me but by the time I got to the stair case, she was just walking up and started to yell at me when we caught eyes.
"That's odd," I thought to myself. "Dinner done yet?" I asked her but before she had a chance to answer it was like I could hear her thoughts.
The potion must be working but I'll have to wait and see,she thought. "Yes, John," she said. "I was about to holler at you."
"I'll be down in a minute, sweetheart," I replied.
I need to remember to go to the store tomorrow afternoon to pick up the book for Johns' birthday party next week,she thought as she was walking away. "Pasta tonight, pucky dearest," she said.
I began climbing down the stairs and walked in and seen that Alvin and Albert were in their usual spots in the dining room. The pasta, sauce, breadsticks, and salad was ready to serve. I stood next to her, holding a plate, and handing them to the next person, Alvin, then Albert, and finally myself. I sat at the head of the table with Lilith across from me and Alvin and Albert sat across from each other.
Dinner went smoothly except that I wasn't sure when I should tell them when I could hear their thoughts when I heard Lilith speak directly to me.
I know that your can hear my thoughts, John, she thought to me.
I don't know what to say,I thought to her.
Psychic ability is not that uncommon but people who become a magical being typically need a potion to get things going,Albert thought to me.
I think we need to begin basic training after dinner,Lilith said.
"Well, then it's settled," I said. Just the fun I could have reading people's thoughts. Learning how people honestly think of me and loads more.
We sat there and ate dinner in the usual family chatter, Lilith went over my list of possible birthday gift list and the most Alvin had a few things to say the best way a two year old could only pull off. That evaning I had begun my first lesson in psychic defense.
The first things you need to learn are how to protect your thoughts from others,Albert thoughtDefending your thoughts from those that don't need to be reading your thoughts,he paused for a moment
And the other, Albert,I thought to him.
And the other is how to block the thoughts of others because if you don't, especially in a crowed of people, you'll go nuts. Trust me, I've down that road before when I was first learning to my psychic abilities.He sat on the floor in the living room of his small apartment, several feet from the back of the house and I likewise sat across from him before he continued, The first thing we need to learn is to quiet the mind, quieting the mind at will shows your will over your own mind and thereby allowing to defend yourself against those that don't need to be in your head and to keep yourself out of the minds of others, all of this at your own will.
Sounds like basic meditation,I thought, being surprised.
Yes, of course, the lessons that I will be giving you over the next week are the final pieces of what will be later built upon in the more advanced lessons of vampirism.
In the last year, I had become quite proficient in my magical abilities and glad that I was about to begin some of the most advanced lesson that I ever had at this point, maybe even giddy.
After meditating for nearly five minutes, Albert handed me the stone that he had made with the potion, except that it was tied to some hemp string. He explained that it was a psychic amulet that was used for those like myself, it did everything that I had yet do on my own, blocking the thoughts of others while protecting my own from others and it did it's job very well.
In the end everyone dies, everyone except me. I was bit by a vampiress and life hasn't been the same ever since. She was a 5,000 year old woman that looked like hot twenty something cover girl. She had long, wavy black hair, a limber body and smoke English, Hebrew, Russian, and German. She was equally as intelligent but she mostly has an interest in of Jewish, Germanic, and Russian vampire mythologies.
I was in love with her, their was no doubt about it, and we had gotten married some six months after we had meet and that is when she showed her fangs to me, but she punctured my neck before she had given me a chance to see them. Two of my teeth fell out a few days later and nearly two months later my fangs grew in. I had grown up loving the old black and white vampire movies and had read up on the material but I never thought that I would ever become a vampire myself until I meet Lilith.
"Good Morning my love," Lilith said, in her usual Jewish accent. "I cooked you breakfast. It's an old recipe but I think you'll like it."
Lilith had seemingly came out of nowhere, but she had planned on it the moment she set eyes on him gracing some local body building magazine. She knew that she had to have him and she knew that she could have him. Though she has a long and rich history, spanning nearly 5,000 years, few knew of her and those that do don't know the whole details of here entire history and her true history is shrouded in both mythology that spans all cultures and time periods, and also in metaphore of songs, poems, and theater dramas.
I have the classic good looks of a body builder. I had been on the cover of several underground trade magazines, but my stake to stardom was a storied raid where I had been at the wrong place at the wrong time. Ever since I had stared in a string of respectable successful B list movies and had somewhat of a following that had steadily growing over the last six months since I had known Lilith.
I was on set when he meet Lilith, home caught his eye as the bumped into each other as they were turning the same corner. What John didn't know was the fact she was using a small makeup mirror to know the right time to "bump" into him. I had just got himself into the mind of the character that he had been portraying. Lately, John had been portraying some doctor who was a bodybuilder in his spare time on a small time soap opera, not much but it was work he loved his job and he made a little more than he needed for his lifestyle and even has a nest egg.
"Excuse me," I said.
"It's okay," Lilith said with out missing a beat. "I don't pay enough to my surroundings to begin with."
"What's your name?"
"Lilith," she said. "Just Lilith."
"No last name, uhuh, like Cher."
"Yea, like Cher, and I don't believe you told me your name."
"John Samson," I told her.
She gasped and then said, "You were in the that movie 'Quest of the Pharaoh'." She gazed into my deep brown eyes and as she did so, the director called over to me and I excused himself.
I had just got himself into the mind of the character that he had been portraying. Lately, John had been portraying some doctor who was a bodybuilder in his spare time on a small time soap opera, not much but it was work he loved his job and he made a little more than he needed for his lifestyle and even has a nest egg. But on that day, that moment I felt a spark. I had loved the Jewish features of her face, her Jewish accent, the dark eyes, I had been infatuated with her.
It was nearing the end of the day and some of us had stayed after the days filming to drink a few beers. It was then I saw her again but only this time I recognised her as one of the girls in costume. I didn't see her very much before because she mostly did the costumes for the ladies but after that day she started working with the guys costumes.
She had stayed after filming that day to drink a little beer with us that evening. A few drinks in and I had invited her to the studio apartment that I rented in a nice area of Hollywood. I pulled out some wine and one thing to another and we got are rocks of together. And like I said before, six months later we were married. There wasn't to much particular to the first six months of our marriage, nor was there anything in the next six months.
I was after the birth of our first child that things started to get strange, I mean they say that vampires don't go out at night, unless your into that Twilite bull shit, but we do and in fact you wouldn't believe who's a vampire, Tom Cruise, Hillary Clinton, Bob Larson, I could go on all night and still wouldn't give you half the list. Most of the rich and famous our either vampires, werewolves, or practitioners of witchcraft. I thought that this stuff all just make belief but I swear that this story is true.
But the real fun didn't start until my baby boy was only two and half months old. We named him Alvin, I was big fan of the Chipmunkswhen I was growing up as well. Our son didn't have the markings of a vampire nor that of a werewolf. We thought he was a normal child, she said this happens from time to time with every passing generation, but even then she said it usually takes about a month, two max, before he would show any signs.
But when he teleported from his crib into his high chair, we knew then that this child would be a wizard. And it reminded her that some kids don't show their powers, usually found in the wizards or witches, until two and a half or three months, some as late as four or five, but little Alvin had been on schedule.
Up to that point, Lilith had given me the impression that she never had kids, she even lied out right about her age being twenty-five. I was only five years her senior and was looking for someone closer to my age, but like they say, the heart gets what the heart wants.
As the child grew into a toddler, about a year and a half, I confronted her about day care services and in a cloud of smoke came this murland looking guy, only he was about forty with a full head of salt and pepper hair. Apparently he was there because it had been time for young Alvin to begin the first lessons of wizardry. I was reluctant but his answers seemed good enough.
"You see," the guy said. "Every witch and wizard goes to daycare before being sent of to school for witches and wizards."
"Okay," I said. "Just like I did when I was about his age, but I don't think you gave us your name yet."
"Oh, where's my manners, my name is Albert Fitzgerald."
"Oh yea, that's right," Lilith said. "You use to be my nanny, I thought I had recognized you from somewhere."
"And how could I forget a face like yours," Albert said.
"I don't understand why a wizard would be the nanny of a vampire," I said.
"He was good friends with my parents for one thing," Lilith said. "And for another his knowledge of vampires is quite extensive, second only to witchcraft and wizardry." She spoke not only as a matter of fact but with a high level of affection. "By the way, Albert I hear that you have a great job over at the Dumbledore School of Witchcraft and Wizardry."
"Oh yes," Albert replied. "I'm the new headmaster of the daycare there. It's what I love to do."
"Well taking care of those kids is perfect and I'm glad that my old school decided to open up a wing for that. I thought I heard whispers of them building on to the school but we know how people like to gossip."
"And you know I had my eye on Alvin for awhile now. I didn't think you would go wrong with the new blood that you brought into the fold." Albert looked at me and said, "You'll make a great vampire and your son will make a great wizard."
At this point I didn't understand how two vampire parents could have a child that isn't anything but a vampire. But Lilith, like always, had read my thoughts when she said, "Sometimes this happens, usually a small batch of kids in each passing generation will be anything other than what the parents are, usually if the parents' aren't the same thing like you and I which makes Alvin even more special."
"More so if you consider that there are three this time around," Albert said. "A vampire to parents of werewolves and a werewolf to parents that are a witch and a wizard. The rest of the kids turned out like their parents in one way or another."
I became more and more proud of my child and felt like Lilith and I had became closer than we had ever become at that point in our lives. I thought that this school would be best and Lilith agreed with me. We put up the money and off to daycare he would go all day while the wife and I would go to our jobs. I continued my job on the soap opera, taking jobs in movies during the summer when filming for the show had stopped for the season and she continued doing what she loved, costumes for the show and for whatever movie I had been doing during the summer. But like any school and day care in the normal world, we'd say the moggle world, moggle being a reference to the average, non magical folk and their world, their would be no sessions during the summer months. We took Albert on as the nanny for Alvin.
Really, the only difference for our little Alvin, other than being in a more than an upper middle class to lower upper class family, is that he was learning some basic, simple magical skills that mostly centered around personal responsibility. But it became obvious from the very beginning that like Lilith and myself, both Albert and Alvin had a bent towards some juvenile delinquency. Lilith and I both that it was cute when Alvin would be put up to no good by Albert but it would get trying at times.
One example was when Albert got the idea to show Alvin how to make objects invisible and had decided to use one of the scripts for a movie that I was looking over and highly considering taking it, and Albert knowing full well that this movie would not only be greatly anticipated but that it would almost make my carrier. It took me three hours to figure out that it was invisible and sitting on the kitchen table and even then I found out that Lilith became part of the joke some forty-five minutes earlier and kept her mouth shut because she thought that it was funny.
Another example came a couple days later when Lilith couldn't find her personal makeup kit. Albert had taught Alvin how to levitate objects a few weeks prior and Alvin became very proficient at it. But Alvin had only been taught to practice on his own things and never on anyone else's until he had decided to move mommy's make up just before she had walked into the bathroom to put her makeup on.
Lilith never thought to look over to see that her makeup kit had just been levitated onto the towel case that sat directly across from the sink. She looked in the medicine cabinet and it wasn't there. She came back into the master bedroom and asked me about it. I said nothing and walked into the bathroom and their it was on top of the case of towels.
"That's it," Lilith said. "I have had enough of this." Vampires do have powers unto their own. Mainly our powers are more of the defensive and offensive kind. It was fortunate that she had given me lessons on how to defend myself as well as a few offensive skills but I had just started learning some of the more moderate level skills, junior high type of things by this point. Her and I went around and started putting in defensive spells on all of the things around the house that didn't belong to Alvin.
A few minutes later we were finished, these kinds of defensive spells is fairly elementary and wasn't hard to do nor are they difficult to brake but for a child at the age of two and a half, they're not going to break the spells, that doesn't come until they're in junior high and typically have the maturity not to bother other peoples belongings without permission but can be used if one's own belongings have been stolen.
I didn't think anything of this story other than just trying to keep the habit of writting on a regular basis. Frankly this is the first time I looked at it since I wrote it some weeks ago and I think I may have published it in my book, which I will link below, but I don't think it is all that good, not all that bad but okay. I summit this literary piece for your aprooval.
