"The Lost Girl, Whom Is She?"
Gage walked down from the edge of the cliffs hanging his head, feeling very melancholy he slowly made his way back towards the Castle LeStat. Pushing an empty swing in the playground, he still could envision the young girl from the past, in his mind. That same swing where he had watched her play with a doll. Grabbing the chain upon the swing, he pulled it back then threw it in the air making the swing erratically jolt into the sky.
Gage was beginning to fill with anger from the overwhelming sense of loss he was feeling. The closer he got to the palace, the more irritated he became. Clenching his fists, he punched a large hole into the wooden gate as he exited the playground then kicking the door shut with his boot. The large antique gate broke in two large pieces.
Visions of the young girl were still deeply embedded into his thoughts. Who was she? He wondered. Why was my own mother so saddened when she released her grip upon the blonde girl? None of it, made any sense at all. He racked his brain trying to remember more of that day, Gage knew deep within his heart that small girl was not a stranger, but whom was she? Why did her feel so close to this child?
He felt an overwhelming sense of protection, where the young girl was concerned. How could he protect someone he didn't even know? The questions that played in his mind, deepened, the anger now welling inside of him. He continued to walk as the memory of that day played over and over in his mind. Little did he realize, he was not walking towards his home at all. He was so deep in his thoughts, he had actually continued on past the castle, he was nearing town square.
The village was inundated with humans, their presence upset the King as he made his way through them. Beggars and thieves, the kind of people he normally would have incarcerated for their wrong doings. He smirked, as a deep sated blood lust over came him. The impeccable scent of the mortal blood filled the air. It had been quite a while since Gage's last meal.
Throwing a projectile into the air, it rained down a spell over the residents. Now incapacitated, they began to wobble where they stood. Through this magic, He could stop the humans in their tracks. Frozen in time, they could do nothing to hinder their own doom. The anticipation of their demise added fear, thus sweetening their blood.
Gage raised his hands into the air, the mass of people caught in the spell began to bleed from their mouths. Tossing his head, back he willed the mass of victim's blood to exit their bodies. He gladly took communion from all them. He absorbed their blood in a macabre form of a blood shower freely raining into his mouth. "Oh, such a flavor" he had not had in so long. This spell had drained all in the area of their life's blood. Gage had not used this spell since he were a boy. He smirked as their drained lifeless corpses littered the area. Running his hands through his blood drenched hair, he laughed then wiped off his mouth with his sleeve.
A darkness was overtaking the king. He was now in a very blackened state of mind. The once jovial, proper gentleman Gage, was changing rapidly into something completely different. The anger he felt over his mother Ayumi and the small girl had now taken on a form of pure rage. His demeanor had completely changed. This was not the work's of Lord Nightshade.
The psychosis Gage was enduring was his own. He would not give Alucar credit for the darkness consuming his mind. Not this time. Perhaps, Gage was becoming what he was always supposed to be, A natural born killer, not this charming man that deprived his hunger of human blood, to be cordial to his residents.
Gage was well respected in the Black Kingdom, due to his demeanor. Vampire and humans alike, all walked without fear of the Vampire King of The Black Kingdom. This was a change that was due. Gage was tired of the nice boy routine. He was quickly becoming what he truly was always meant to be.
Perhaps Alucar was right all along. There was something exciting about being feared. Gage was beginning to enjoy this new revelation he had upon this night. "I am King Gage LeStat, The Black King of the Black Kingdom. I shall do what what I want, when I want. No one will get in my way period. No one."
He knew he should go back to the Castle LeStat. Still in this darkened state of mind, he walked in the back doors of the castle. He avoided seeing anyone in his blood covered state. Quickly going into the restroom he removed his blood drenched clothing, throwing them into the trash. He showered away all of the dried blood from his pale skin. Smirking as the stained water pooled at the bottom of the shower then quickly washed down the drain. He got out of the shower, ran a comb through his black locks, then went into the bedroom changing his clothes going unnoticed by anyone.
Gage heard his sister Amara's voice echoing up the stairwell. He shifted his demeanor quickly so no one would notice the change in him. He ran down the stairs and greeted his sister. "Hello Sister, What a pleasant surprise. What brings you all this way at this time of the night? Do come in." He saw her suitcases. "Are we planning to stay awhile? He hugged her smiling doing his damned best to hide the darkness that was now consuming his mind and heart. He hoped he could fool his sister Amara. Although, Gage knew, she were no fool.
