Chapter 1. A Bloody Family History
Count Vladimir sat in his castle, gazing out of the window at the darkening sky. The sun had set, and the castle was shrouded in a blanket of darkness. He felt a chill run down his spine as he thought about the rumors, he had heard from the villagers below. The superstitious people spoke of strange creatures and bandits that roamed the forest, preying on unsuspecting travelers.
He had always considered such stories to be mere folklore, but something about the way the villagers spoke about it made him uneasy. He wondered if he should send his men out to investigate, but the thought of sending them into the unknown, facing an unknown danger, gave him pause.
As he sat there, lost in thought, he heard a knock at the door. He turned to see his trusted advisor, Ivan, enter the room.
"Count, we have received a message from your father the king," Ivan said, handing him a sealed letter.
Vladimir broke the seal and quickly scanned the contents. His expression turned to one of concern.
"What does it say?" Ivan asked.
"It's from my father," Vladimir said, "He’s growing concerned at the attacks on travelers and sending a detachment of his elite soldiers."
Ivan nodded thoughtfully. "Shall I set up a base for them?"
"Yes," Vladimir said, "Make it a good one and comfortable for our guests."
As Ivan bowed and left the room, Vladimir knew if this was the right decision, ever since he was a young boy in his father’s court he was always fascinated by the elite soldiers and their perfectly sculpted bodies, to have such eye candy around the place would make things a little more exciting.
Vladimir knew what his royal duties were, he knew he had to prepare an heir to the throne but that still didn’t stop him having his fun. The young Count was bisexual and preferred the company of other men. However, he knew he had a royal duty and would do the deed when the time was right.
Meanwhile the young Count looked through some photos that he had taken of some of the population.
in his role he could request any of them when he wanted and demand they do as he ordered but Vladimir was shrewd, he knew he didn’t want any trouble and most of his visitors were paid to keep quiet. He rang the bell in the great hall and within seconds Ivan had returned.
Ivan had grown up with Vladimir. They were childhood friends; his father was advisor to Vladimir’s father the king and he was to carry on the same role.
“What can I do for you sir?” Ivan asked as walked into the room.
“Ah Ivan.” Vladimir replied, “Do you remember Wyatt who I took some photos of the other week?”
“The name is familiar sire, but I cannot picture him.” Ivan replied.
“Here look at this.” Vladimir urged as he showed his trusted advisor another picture.
“Ah yes now I remember. He was rather rude and demanded his money.” Ivan said.
“Yes, that’s him. The arrogant arsehole with the great body.” Vladimir retorted. “Now take a detachment of soldiers and bring him to Eagles Creek. Tell him it’s for more modelling and let him know he’ll be paid as normal.”
Ivan nodded “Yes sire, I will do as you command. But what if he refuses to come?”
Vladimir smiled “Well that’s the easy part.” He said as he put his arm around Ivan. “Bring him by force if you need to.”
Ivan bowed and left the room; he’d quickly assembled a group of soldiers and they were soon on their way to Wyatt’s.
Arriving at the model’s house Ivan knocked on the door and Wyatt quickly answered.
“Wyatt, I need you to come with me right now.” Ivan barked “The Count has requested you meet him at Eagles Creek.”
“What’s going on? Why do you need me to come with you?” Wyatt protested.
“The Count wishes you to come to do some more modelling.” Ivan explained.
“I’m sorry, Ivan, but I can’t just drop everything and go with you. I have things I have to do.” Wyatt replied, “Besides I said that fool that it would cost more money if he wanted me next time.”
“Look the Count has said you will be paid so you will get your money. But he has also ordered that I bring you by force if you refuse to come.” Ivan explained.
Wyatt looked beyond Ivan and saw the group of soldiers standing menacingly behind him. There was no way the hot model could take them all on and knew the easiest thing to do was to just go with Ivan.
“Hold on a moment whilst I grab some things to wear for the shoot.” Wyatt said as he disappeared into the house and returned moments later.
Vladimir was already at Eagles creek with a detachment of his own personal bodyguards. The Count paid well and was a good boss, so they always did as their lord instructed.
A short while later Ivan and Wyatt arrived. They dismounted from their horses, and both bowed before the count.
“My lord, I have brought Wyatt as you requested.” Ivan said as he took a step back.
“Wyatt my old friend. It’s good to see you again.” Vladimir said as he grabbed Wyatt by the shoulder. “I want to get some more photos of you. Let’s get started.”
“Yes, my lord.” Wyatt replied “I look a bit better than last time we shot. I trust you have the money.”
Vladimir laughed “Of course I have the money. You’ll get it at the end as normal.”
Wyatt nodded “I’ll quickly get changed.” He said as he grabbed a bag from his horse.
Moments later Wyatt stepped out from behind a tree, hi athletic body fully on display as a stripped shirt hung open, revealing Wyatt’s chiseled abs and toned chest. His muscles rippled beneath his tanned skin, and his broad shoulders gave him a powerful and commanding presence. His hands were on his hips resting on the top of a white pair of underwear that struggled to contain his manhood and displayed a defined set of legs that was decorated with a light fuzz of hair. The fabric of his shirt hung loosely, as if unable to contain the force of his body.
Vladimir wasted little time I grabbing some shots of the sexy hunk and then had him pose in a variety of different poses in the shirt.
It was time for a wardrobe change and Vladimir instructed Wyatt to change and to this time only wear a pair of underwear. Wyatt nodded and headed back behind the tree to change.
Wyatt stepped back out moments later and listened to what the count had said as this time he was wearing nothing more than a black pair of briefs that showed off his fantastic body even more. The attractive model now stood on a rock as the Count continued to take even more photos of him in various poses.
The shoot began to draw to a close and as it did Vladimir approached Wyatt and thanked him once again for his services. He handed the model his payment and turned to walk away.
“Hey what’s this?” Wyatt shouted.
“It’s your payment.” Vladimir calmly replied as he turned his back to the model.
“No, no, no. I told you before that you’d have to pay more if you wanted me again.” Wyatt demanded.
“Give me more or I’ll tell everyone your little secret.”
Vladimir was incensed, no one threatened him, the Count grabbed the hilt of his sword and pulled it out seconds later he swung it at Wyatt as the other members of the group let out shocked gasps.
“Nobody dares to threaten me.” Vladimir shouted as Wyatt stood motionless in nothing more than his underwear.
Then as if in slow motion blood started to seep from Wyatt’s neck as his head slowly slipped from his body causing blood to gush from the decapitated stump and splatter onto the count. Wyatt’s fine athletic body slumped to the floor as Vladimir said “Bury this son of a bitch. And make sure it’s deep enough so he’s not found.”
The soldiers received the order and began the process of digging a grave for the headless model.
As the soldiers dug Vladimir stood by the water’s edge and put his hands in the water before washing Wyatt’s blood from his face.
The soldiers had just placed Wyatt’s headless body in the grave as the Count had finished washing and saw that they had forgotten Wyatt’s head.
“Hold on a moment.” Vladimir shouted, “you forgot this.” He picked Wyatt’s head up by his hair and walked over to the grave, he looked down and chuckled before tossing the head inside and watched as the soldiers covered the sexy dead model with dirt.
The Count stood before the grand mirror in his chambers within the towering castle walls. He had no remorse for what he had done, in fact Wyatt had infuriated him and deserved what he got. He was just sad that he would never see Wyatt’s fine body again and instead it would be slowly decomposing in a cold grave. Vladimir also knew he didn’t t have to worry about his father finding out as the people he surrounded himself were loyal and well taken care of.
It was then that Vladimir discovered something, as he looked in the mirror, he noticed the spots where Wyatt’s blood had splattered on him look more youthful. Vladimir summoned Ivan and asked him to have a look and even his trusted advisor agreed that those areas did look different.
Vladimir then summoned Dr Grezko the court physician, Grezko had been part of the court for as long as Vladimir could remember and when his father’s new wife demanded her physician be at the court the king reluctantly dispensed of Grezko’s services. But the old doctor wasn’t out of work for long and the Count soon had him back in employment.
Ivan returned to the chamber with Dr Grezko in tow.
“My lord what is wrong? Are you ok?” Grezko asked with a hint of worry in his voice.
Vladimir laughed “Yes Grezko, you can relax I’m ok. I seek your advice.”
“My ears are open my Lord.” Grezko replied as he bowed his head.
“Today I struck out at a petulant person who insulted me, and their blood splattered on me.” Vladimir explained “I was looking in the mirror and the areas where the blood was looks more youthful. Tell me Grezko can this be or am I going mad?”
Grezko paced around the room, “Sire, I can tell you this. You are not going mad.”
A look of confusion filled the Counts face, “Well Grezko speak tell me.”
Grezko looked worried “My Lord what I am about to say cannot leave this room. And I tell you in the strictest confidence. Please shut the doors and I will tell you. Ivan, can you leave us please.”
Ivan was about to leave the room as he shut and shut the door when the Count shouted “No Ivan stays. Doctor, he is my loyal advisor and I trust him with my life, there will be no secrets. You can speak freely.”
Grezko sat down and urged the others to do the same, “There has long been a myth that blood is the fountain of power and youthfulness. Your great great grandmother Countess Elizabeth Bathory discovered the same secret as you when she struck one of her servants. The area where the blood landed looked more youthful and removed the aged skin. So, she decided to kill peasants and bath in their blood, they say she looked more radiant and younger. But unfortunately, she was taken by the blood lust and became careless. They say she killed over six hundred young women.”
“What, I mean how could she kill so many people and get away with it?” Vladimir asked.
“My lord, there is a law that states the king, and his close family may kill as many peasants as they please without fear of retribution.” Ivan explained.
“But where did she get punished then.” Vladimir asked, “If the law stated she could do it.”
“Well, my lord.” Grezko continued to explain, the law states you can kill as many peasants as you wish but Bathory once killed a girl from a noble family and noticed how much purer their blood was, so she began to kill the daughters of noblemen. Blood is blood and she was delusional because of the blood lust. Killing from noble families is prohibited so action had to be taken and the Blood Countess was arrested.”
“Ok I understand.” Vladimir replied “But you’re telling me that I can kill as many young men as I please and do what I want to them and not get in trouble.”
“Yes, my lord.” Both Ivan and Grezko said at the same time.
“Thank you Grezko. You may leave us now.” The Count said as he turned to his loyal and trusted advisor. “Do you know what this mean?” He asked as Ivan replied, “I think I do sire.”
Vladimir smiled “Instead of just shooting the attractive young men we can do what we please with them and not get in any trouble. Maybe it’s time to honor my great great grandmother and announce the birth of the Blood Count.
“Maybe it is my Lord. Maybe it is.” Ivan replied with a smirk across his face.
