Chapter 04: Misery loves Company
Southern Texas 1894, Christmas time
(Major’s POV)
It has been three long months alone here with this war whore. She was pissed when she found out that I let Peter and Charlotte get away. What she didn’t know was that I told them to run. Not like it would matter to her anyway. I got the punishment meant for them anyhow. That bitch had the balls to lock me in a shack chained to a fuckin wall for weeks. No visitors. Not like there would be any. No sex of any kind. Not like that matter either, I wouldn’t give that bitch the satisfaction. Me and my hand is all there is until I find my mate. Last but not least absolutely no food. I felt like one of the animals at the zoo where you see the signs that say ‘keep out. Don’t feed the Bears!’.
When I finally got out of that hell I made sure someone paid for it. The newborns took the brunt of my anger. After that a small bungalow town in Mexico got the rest. The population wasn’t big so they could pass it off as a disease. Only like 30 people. Yeah I ain’t proud of what I do, but I have to eat to survive and they are my food.
I wonder what Peter is up to? He was always one for playin pranks on others. He kept me amused at least. I know he has family in Louisiana. He told me one night when we were huntin so no one would find out and kill them. War whore would of loved to, just to make him more obedient. Just like she did to my family when she found them in Houston. That bitch made me watch as she drained my mother, father, and sisters. It’s a good thing my brother was already gone by this point. He had passed on not long before I left for war.
He would have been pissed to find out I lied to get into the military to fight a war over something he would deem inappropriate. He believed that if the slaves didn’t have a problem being slaves then who was to say otherwise. I agree with him to a point. I believe we all had equal standings as men. Skin color meant little to me. One of the few things I remembered from my human years was a young colored boy name Jeb I would play with. I believe he was one of the servants sons. Maw and Paw treated the workers with respect and taught us to as well. They said it was because if it wasn’t for them we would have to do it all ourselves. I often caught Mama in the kitchen helping with the cookin. Or Paw out in the fields. I guess we were one of the few who treated them proper.
“Major!”
Awe hell what does she want now. Can’t I get a moment of peace. That bitch’s voice is gratin on my last nerve.
“Yes Maria.”
“What have you been doin all day? This new batch should be ready by tomorrow, day after at the latest and here you are staring off into space. What do ya have to say for yer self Major?”
“Oh hell Maria. Can’t a man get a few seconds between getting his ass ripped up left an’ right to just breath?”
“Major you will not refer to me by anything other then Mistress in front of the soldiers or you will face the punishment. And as to your question, NO! he can’t now get your ass back to work before I show you why I’m in charge.”
Well that done it. I was pissed. Who the hell does she think she is. If it wasn’t for me that bitch would have been dead long ago when her faithful followers were gonna kill her. I could feel my insides twistin and my vision blur. I stood to my tallest and looked straight at the bitch.
“I will call you what ever I damn well feel like callin ya. If I call ya whore ya better answer me. Remember who ya are talkin to. If it wasn’t for me your ass would be ash in the wind. I may take punishments I believe I deserve but ya will never command over me. I will hope in the future ya will remember it is I who controls your armies and I who wins your battles, cause your to chicken shit to do it yourself. Now if I feel I need to breath I will do so. ARE WE CLEAR!”
I realized I was yelling by the end. Boy that bitch could rile me up.
“Yes Major.”
“Good now leave me be.”
I watched as she walked away. I could feel the fear and terror rolling off of everyone within hearing distance. I was the only one she feared. Hell most vampires feared me. Even the infamous Volturi leader’s won’t come up against me. Once they realized the Jack and Jill’s’ powers were useless on me, they let me be.
Damn straight, those two little monsters where hell on anyone. Jane (a.k.a. Jill) tried usin her mind meltin pain inflictin mumbo jumbo on me and I laughed at her. Who in their right minds would send pain to an empath? I know genius right. Well once I reflected that shit back on dink she left me alone.
Now Alec (a.k.a. Jack) his shit is a little different but it works to my advantage. Ya see he can cut off all the senses. No seeing, hearing, smelling, tasting, nothing. Well lets just say they learned something new that day. Ya see I learned and trained myself early on how to use my body as a conductor. Any move or vibration he makes I can find him. It’s like teaching a blind and deaf person to fight. It’s kind of like a sixth sense if you will. Your body will react if someone comes near to ya. Like when you think someone is watching ya. Those little hairs on your neck and arms stand on end. Well I’m a vampire so it is magnified. He only can kill the five senses, so once ya get around that your good to go. Not to mention my kick ass fightin Ninja skills as Peter calls them. Damn man I miss Peter.
