Scene from Kenneth's early days
---------------------------


The hispanic man rose from the ashes, grey flecks of the unfortunate being's incinerated body fluttering about him like apocalpytic weather. Kenneth reached a hand up to wipe at his cold lips with the sleeve of his jacket. The soul of his sire burned within his veins, and it felt good. It felt good to devour those who gave you life, or those who took your life, as Kenneth saw it.

What an odd evening. Nearly a month ago he had submitted the last classified information report to his superiors in the fresh, communist government he had helped establish in Bolivia, and around that time he had been transformed into a walking corpse with an inner attitude, fanged teeth grinning back at him every time he tried to look inside, and see who he was. Kenneth wasn't a passionate revolutionary. He was a twisted soul, the shattered remains of a revolutionary. His sire had gone like a fucking whelp, and Kenneth couldn't care less. The new power was nice, and the threat of a blood hunt was meaningless to his insubstantial undead vocabulary.

Kenneth left the hotel, moonlight shining down on the latin-american town, dusty boards and broken windows illuminated by the multi-colored 'HOTEL' sign flickering brokenly in the front of the parking lot. He glanced around the area, noticing the interior light of an old chrysler shining in the midst of the dark parking lot. The hispanic man in his baggy jeans and torn jacket approached the car, watching the man fumbling with his keys with apathy. Kenneth raised both hands, waving them as he drew near the car, fingers splaying out as though conducting an orchestra. Shadows erupted from every corner of the vehicle, wrapping about the man's neck, wire-thin as Kenneth meant them to be, and pulled him against the seat, a choked sound gurgling from his throat.

Kenneth sat on the man's lap, staring him directly in the terrifed, beady eyes as other shadows bound the man's hands and legs to the seat.

"Buenas Noches."

He swooped, taking a long drink from the man's neck, enough to send him into sleep, and pushed the man's unconcious form out of the vehicle. Kenneth started the car, switching off the light and banishing the shadows, a grin of freedom on his features as he pulled out of the parking lot and onto the highway. Cool night air rolled through the open window and threw back his silky black hair, the wind carrying the scent of hope and new horizons as Kenneth pressed on the gas, speeding North, to America.

He switched on his turn signal and accelerated, pulling to the right and onto the off-ramp. As the vehicles' front swung around, Kenneth stared openly at the scene before him. The outline of Mexico City lay before him, and the sun's first rays peeking over the horizon at some faraway plateau. The car's engine roared as he slammed ont he gas pedal, hunched over the steering wheel, determined to beat the sun.


I'm a fucking imbecile, Kenneth thought to himself as he raced that holy destructor, dawn. I go through that shit then forget about the sun...

He made it to a roadside hotel, screeching to a halt as he throw his car door open, only a few minutes left until the sun's rise. Kenneth sprinted to the door of the hotel, laying down three-hundred dollars and bouncing nervously on his heels as he waited for the key to a random, dirty room. He'd normally kill the clerk and take what he needed, but police intrusion wouldn't be the greatest thing at the present time.

He ran to the room, eyes blurring with fatigue as morning came around, vivid images of floral designs on the carpeting, a random cock-roach scurrying across the floor. As Kenneth threw open the door to his room and hung the 'do not disturb' sign on the outside, he lunged into the bathroom, slamming the door shut and conjuring shadows over the small window and the crack beneath the door.

Luckily, he had learned to strengthen his powers, and his shadows stood even in the blaring light of the morning sun, giving Kenneth time to properly adjust his makeshift haven. He stuffed a towel under the crack of the door, and opened the cabinets under the sink, removing all the items underneath to create a space big enough for his body. Kenneth felt his mind working hectically to stay awake for this last line of defense against the sun's rays.

He crawled under the sink, curled up, closed the cabinet doors, and felt sleep come upon him.....

--- Posted for Kenneth ---

Nightfall. Kenneth took an unnecessary breath of warm, night air as he stepped out of the motel, glancing around the long road surrounded by desert and a few scattered buildings. The motel sat on the left side when facing the direction of Mexico City. Kenneth stepped onto the gravelly parking area, locating the chrysler he had hastily screeched up to the motel in, and of course it had been stolen. He decided on taking a hike to the city, as he was only about a mile out. Just because he was immortal, he wasn't above a good walk. Moonlight fell upon his path, dirt and asphault crunching beneath his leather shoes all the way. He observed his surroundings almost solemnly, dark eyes hidden in the bangs of his dark hair. Kenneth was alone in the world, and the thought of his sire's plans were blood-curdling. I had no choice. He thought of the diablerie he had committed, and the horrors his sire would have subjected him to upon his initation into the sabbat. Kenneth didn't know what he would do. California seemed to hold something, and at least it was a goal. Nearing the city, Kenneth looked around again. He spotted a pair of shapes against the dark background of the night sky, spotted with stars and faded with light pollution from the city. Two vultures swooped down upon a dying lizard, gorging themselves on the helpless creature's warm innards.---------------------------------------------------- Kenneth wiped his lips and threw the body against the brick of the alleyway, before stepping out onto the street and looking around. Two notable buildings were a strip club, 'The Devil's Dancers', and a small, lifeless church. They were placed as neighbors, sharing a small lot dimly lit with flickering streetlights. The church was painted white, and the strip club black. Kenneth stood on the sidewalk, watching both buildings. Hands in his pockets, orange light flickering with an annoying moth-like motion, Kenneth started towards the church.
