He is Me

It is true, that You did not sleep... and yet, as the sun began to rise outside of the window... the overwhelming lust inside, it was beginning to fade, and yet something lingered, something inside that felt... odd, and as you watched the sunset outside, Izzy fast asleep on your chest, you wondered on what the hell was happening to you.

The Ripples of deep blue had finally settled, and Vlad sat in quiet meditation. He was no bigger than a Six-year-old, but he was growing, steadily rising thanks to Charlie becoming more and more like himself, though it was a slow and steady process.

Sometimes He just liked to sit there, when He had not slipped off into the non-existence of Charlie's subconscious, and stare out into the Currents: once red, now blue.

But He was not alone here.

_"Teama de cel care vine cu mâinile deschise și cu inima goală (Fear the one who comes with open hands and an empty heart)" _Vlad whispered in his mother tongue, his circular eyes of blazing red staring out at the Woman who sat just a ways from him, in her black tuxedo and top hat, smiling darkly.

"Hello, son," Cain whispered, her voice echoing through the blue sea.

Vlad burst out laughing, chuckling as his small black body whiled like oil staining the waters "You're not my father, You are not even a person... you're more a... I don't know, an interdimensional sperm doner." He said lightly.

"Welp, I fucked your mother so that makes me somthin'" She chuckled, lower than him, and more ominously. "You know, you look quite charming as a little black shadow child, suits your personality."

Vlad just smiled, and looked on at Cain with his burning eyes.

Cain frowned "Ugh you're no fun."

"I've played your game, it's not for me. while I have you here, would you mind answering me a question?"

"You want to know why I'm here?" She asked coyly.

_"Da, why are you here? Charlie cannot hear me, I am still too weak or... he's refusing to listen, We are upholding our end of the deal, the least you could do is fuck off somewhere else." _Vlad sighed, the sight of Cain was never a good one, in fact He'd prefer it if He never saw this freakish thing ever again.

"Just thought I'd check-in on my firstborn... well, firstborn in this universe anyway-"

_"-You realise that if you cheat then we win, that's the deal." _Vlad reminded her.

"Vladamir! nu aș face niciodată asta (I would never!)" She touched at her heart dramatically, swooning so hard that she fell into the floor, puffing away into nothing, before emerging next to Vlad who had his head in his claws, feeling unamused as she smiled.

"Oh, my baby boy... You are just sooo cute-"_ _She went to mush at his cheeks, but his eyes flashed with an icy look of murderous intent, dark and overwhelmingly powerful.

_"Do not ever touch me. or you will be swept in waves of fire hither-to unimagined." _He growled.

She threw her arms up, with joy "THERE HE IS!!! HAHA, King Dracula, the Prince of Darkness, **** personified, hmmm You are making me a little wet there, that look in your eyes, dayum, careful though... I might feel threatened... and we both know what happens when I feel threatened..." The Blood god eyed Vlad suggestively, and He frowned. "...Don't we? Vladamir?"

He resumed his smile as if he'd let this overpowered leech control him "I wonder sometimes, what you would be like if you hadn't done what you did..."

It was her turn to frown now.

"If you would be a Father... or a mother maybe? on that goat farm... praying unto god... with Your brother by your side... I contemplate that reality when you might have remained pure, and H'abel were still alive."

There was **** in those eyes of pure gold, as she seethed with wrath "I should snuff you out like a table-side candle-"

He threw up his shadowed arms in mockery of her _"OoOoOh please don't hurt me, Mother! if you do that Charlie will win the bet! oh woe is I, please please do not smite me like an ant AS I BATHE IN YOUR FUCKING SORROW YOU TOXIC BITCH!" _He screamed while laughing, literally falling back laughing.

The Blood God seethed but she held it back enough "You are cunning as always. But Your reincarnation is wrong, He is wrong. and He will fail, and when He does, I will be free, and you will be roasting in hell."

Vlad sniffed, laying and looking up into the blue oceanic sky _"Yes, yes, I'm done talking to you now, you can slip off and write something about leeches or kill yourself for the 7 millionth time now. La revedere" _He waved her goodbye, closing his fiery eyes and smiling.

The Blood god dissipating as she smiled maliciously "He will lose."

_"I never lose. and He is me." _Vlad chuckled as she vanished, allowing him to once again fade into blissful silence.
