Total War : Bahamas

The next evening, nearly three thousand vampires disembark on the island. The tourists residing in the resort and the few local living in the old fishing village on the other side of the island do not stand a chance. Looking for you and Nicole, the vampires ram sack anything they find in their way, after just half an hour, no structure is left standing. Man or woman, young or old, fat or thin, beautiful or ugly, no one survives. They all join the ranks of Mina’s army.

The whole population of the boat has been turned, Mina and her minions have kept busy. Mina is not stupid, she knows that in order to survive the confrontation with two other masters, she will need all the help she can get.

So the day’s turnings are not pleasant or fun in anyway, they are efficient. Parties of beaters roam the boat to drive the humans towards traps where other vampires wait for them and turn them.

By noon most of the humans have fallen to these subterfuges and the vampires spread through the boat to hunt the last survivors.

By four, not a single human is left untouched aboard the Caron.

Had you had to confront such an army you would have not survived. But you only have to kill one master. An old one, who cowardly makes her final mistake by staying onboard the Caron with a small party of body guards.

Mina is not stupid, but she planned this war like an old time Napoleonic general, while you visualized it like a guerillero.

So before the vampires can swim to the island to look for you, you get back into the Caron and wait.

On the highest deck, looking as her flock of slaves spread through the island, Mina rejoices in the carnage. You and Nicole step out of the shadows. She sees you but you do not leave her enough time to get into her combat form. You attack. Your newly discovered elbow blades slice through her neck while Nicole jumps on her corpse and drives her ten razor sharp claws directly into the bitch’s heart ending this century old feud, once and for all.

On the island the three thousand vampires start reverting to their former human selves.

As it could be expected, some are in ambiguous situations. Out of this there will be twelve lawsuits, three of which will result in convictions, two of the perps will be sentenced to community service and one actual imprisonment, the guy being both a dick and an actual son of a bitch. Thirty six marriages will also be celebrated following this.

Getting everybody back on the boat would have taken at least 72 hours which gives the company owning the boat the opportunity to organize the party of the century. From the reports they get and just like everybody else, they are unable to understand how the fuck most of the passengers have disembarked on the small island. What they do understand though is the potential lawsuit they might be facing if the passengers realize that this was not planned, hence the party.

As for the property damage, it will be blamed on the party and the company will definitely cover for it... once again out of fear for lawsuits. The islanders will also keep quiet, too happy to receive such a large influx of free money.

Nicole and yourself manage to find a spot on one of the boats leaving for the island. You find Deb and Caroline by the resort in ruins, they are already enjoying the improvised rave. You dance with them for a while.

You follow Deb under the trees to take a break.

“Shit, Deb tells you. One minute we are on the boat the next we are on the island...”

“Do not think too much about it...”

“I know, it’s just weird.”

Seeing her like this, enjoying herself you decide to let he live her human life protected from the horrors and delights of the vampires.

During the remaining time of the cruise you will hide your new condition from her and then, once you are all settled back in Boston, you will drive her away. Under six months, you will only see her once a month, in two years you will limit you reunions to once or twice a year and in ten years you will tell her good bye for the last time.

You watch her swirl away from you back into the crowd knowing that this is for the best.

You walk to a cliff not too far away to find Nicole and Caroline in a heated discussion.

On the matter of her blood, on the other hand you do not have as many scruples. You know you will need protection and support.

“Nicole?”

“Yes, I think she is just ripe.”

Bathed in the star light you take your third minion.
