Scud stood in front of the full length mirror running his hands along the smooth flesh of his chest and stomach. The scars that had marred his flesh for so long were gone. The nightmare of the night he agreed to let the two female vamps mark him in order to meet Blade was was a distant memory. The memory of another lifetime.
Scud sighed, sensing Drake approach before the vampire's image was reflected in the mirror. Drake reached out to gently brush Scud's hair aside before placing a gentle kiss behind the slighter man's ear.
“You are worried.” Drake observed as Scud let his head fall back against Drake's bare chest.
“B won't be happy to see me.” Scud said worrying his bottom lip with his fangs. “He thinks I'm dead. Not only am I not dead, I'm a vampire.”
“You are not what he is used to facing. I sired you. You carry my gifts.” Drake said tracing his fingertips lightly along Scud's stomach. “Is this not proof enough that you are different from them?”
Scud closed his eyes remembered that night long ago when he had awakened deep in the bowels of the Talos building confused and hungry, held in Drake's embrace. Memories of a demon, of pain and of pleasure flashing through his mind.
It had taken some time for him to completely grasp the fact that the man now standing so close behind him was the demon. But he had been reminded several times over the past years when the demon rose, hungry to feed upon him again. Last night it had risen again and Scud had received the final gift of his vampire sire, his own demonic form.
Scud had gained the ability to shift several months ago. He couldn't turn into a bat like Bela Lugosi, but any human form yes. Last night when Drake's demonic form had manifested, Scud had felt the wrenching pain of his own bones shifting and like Drake he had become something else, something that children feared hid under their beds or in their closets. When the sun rose this morning he had like Drake, returned to his human form; minus the scars he had lived with for so long.
The shifting was just one of the gifts he had received from Drake, he was also a daywalker. And not a half-breed like Blade but a full vampire. A breed of vampire more ancient and powerful than what the humans feared, what Blade feared.
“There is nothing for you to fear, Blade will not harm you. He needs us now just as much as we need him. And we both still live even after he is sure that we were destroyed.” Drake hugged his lover close for a moment. “Now dress, we don't want to be late for Abigail Whistler's arrival.”

“Excuse me Mr Frohmeyer?” Scud turned as the woman spoke. He still wasn't completely used to the Mr Frohmeyer business but as Dominic Drake's personal assistant, the employees of Talos Industries afforded his a certain level of respect.
“Yes Delores? What is it?” He asked. Delores was one of the few employees that remained after the Talos siblings had been destroyed by the Daystar Virus last year. Drake had kept her on when he acquired the business and promoted her to his secretary.
She was also a bit of a busybody, and dense to boot. Her favorite pastime seemed to be fretting about two eligible bachelors not out looking for nice young girls to settle down with. It went completely over her head that Mr Drake's young assistant lived with him even though almost everyone else in the company recognized the relationship.
“These forms need Mr Drake's signature and there's a young woman waiting in the lobby to see him.” She said with a hopeful smile.
Scud took the papers. “Did you happen to get the young lady's name?” He prompted.
“Oh yes, Whistler, Abigail Whistler.” She answered.
“Thank you Delores. I'll get Mr Drake to sign these and take care of Miss Whistler.” He told her heading to the door that led to the inner office.

Abby was getting tired of cooling her heels at the reception desk when a voice behind her said “Miss Whistler?” She turned to find a youngish man behind her extending his hand. “I'm Joshua Frohmeyer, Mr Drake's assistant.”
“Abby Whistler.” she said reluctantly shaking the man's hand. The hand was warm, human but that didn't rule out familiar. He was not bad looking, but he wasn't Hannibal.
“I apologize for the wait. If you'll follow me please.” He said turning to head for the elevators. He held the door while she entered. Once inside he slid an ID badge into a slot. “Can't be too careful these days.” Scud said.
“So you're his assistant? How much do you know about him?” She asked.
“I hope you aren't here to try some outrageous marriage scheme Miss Whistler, Mr Drake is a confirmed bachelor.” Scud said with a smile. “It wouldn't do you any good.”
“What?! Abby asked offended.
“You have to admit it is a rather inappropriate question you just asked of me. One of my duties as Mr Drake's assistant is protecting his privacy.”
“Mr Frohmeyer believe me, there are things about Drake you don't know.” Abby said.
The needle in Scud's hand punctured Abby's neck almost as fast as she identified the threat “Let me put your fears to rest, Abby. I know more about Drake than you.” Scud caught her as she started to collapse. “Just relax, Drake doesn't intend to harm you, he just wants to talk to you.”
Scud gathered the limp woman in his arms stepping out into the penthouse as soon as the doors opened.
