Short story.

Mr. Harrison is a police officer, although he is reaching 40 he looks like he had just reached 20, a man that almost everyone knew in his small city. In this small city people constantly meet the same people all the time. Harrison, wondered why an old man keeps looking at him in strange way. Harrison is used to be looked at, by many women who lust over him and by men that looks at him either in jealousy or in an angry way, that is part of his job but this man was different, however as time went on, he started to get used to it, but always wondered why, he tried talking to this gentleman but he completely ignore talking to him. The old man’s “shyness” soon changed when the city got attack from hundreds of vampires.

This is a world where vampires had almost taken over the world, it has changed when technologies to kill vampires improved. In this day in age vampire attacks are in an all time low, but it still happens around the world. They are very weak creatures, even in their strongest, they rely on humans that are fast asleep to suck their blood. General knowledge knows that some people can be killed while some may turn to vampires themselves. Vampire attacks still happens but on rare occasions, so it toke the biggest vampire attack in a 100 years for the old man to finally talk to Harrison.
Over 10,000 people died, It seemed like a group of monsters got together and planed the attack of the city, all the victim’s blood were gone, they were mostly skin and bones. Luckily it has stopped. No one knows how it all started or why it had stopped, and why this specific city of all places were attacked. One man was being interrogated by the police. None other then the elderly man Jaob, he have went to prison before, but he did his time, the police gave him a bit a apathy he’s a holocaust survivor and has been reported that he was starting to get Alzheimer symptoms.
He didn’t talk much to the interrogators, so Harrison give it a shot. For some reason the familiar face made the man talk a little more. Jaob told Harrison all he can remember of the event, he was just walking around in his house, and all of sudden a bunch of creatures attack him, after that all he can remember was waking up on a hospital bed, anything else in between is all a blank. It was all Harrison could get out of the old man. The rest of the police didn’t get much either.

The next week, Harrison gets a phone call, It’s Jaob Neisser. He wants to talk to Harrison privately, Harrison excepts, he wanted to call the office to notify them, but his own curiosity wanted to know why he always looked at him in an awkward way every time they meet each other. Since it was a personal thing he decides to go alone without telling anyone.
Jaob greets Harrison in to his house to have some tea. They start of with small talk, and then eventually Harrison ask why he would never say hello and ignore him every time he wanted to talk. Jaob said that he knew his parents before they died, he said: ” I promised them that I would keep an eye on you, but I can’t tell you who they are” Harrison was in shock when he heard this, but it now made sense why he looked at him strangely all those time.

Harrison ask question about Jaob’s past. Jaob sais: “I don’t remember much about my past, I remember nothing before the holocaust, I have alzimers, I know I do cause I wrote that down on my journal I read it every morning when I wake up, If I would remembered anything before the holocaust I’m sure I would write that down, but the earliest I can remember is being tortured in the holocaust, they tried to kill me four times but I survived somehow.”

Harrison ask why he turned to crime. Jaob at first didn’t know but as he thinks about it, he starts remembering.
He remembered being very angry at the world, and felt he has done so much good in this world and all he got was torture from the holocaust, volunteering in hospitals, trying to help the homeless with food, with helping them finding jobs, and whatever else he could, he drastically change after the holocaust, all his friends died a torturous death, he refused to help anyone in need after that, but after decades, he thought it wasn’t enough he needed to do something back, he didn’t had the heart to kill or even torture a person, so stealing was the best thing he can come up with.
For a short run he got away with it, first started small with department stores, grocery stores and etc. It grew to taking wallets and purses whenever he see the opportunity, finally he got a lot of the materials he ever wanted, he finally gets caught when he just toke a bunch of jewellery in some jewellery store. When he got caught he couldn’t help but tell the hole thing to the authorities, in prison is where he got back his conscious, he started to feel bad about the people he might of hurt stealing the wallets from people he knew was poor. After he left prison he started to help the poor again, not as much as he used too but a little bit here and there.

Harrison doesn’t know how to respond, Jaob starts looking complexed, Harrison ask Jaob if he was ok. Jaob said he’s starting to remember the attack, remembering the pain of the holocaust gave Jaob the flashback of the attack, all the creatures tried to kill him and suck his blood, but they all died afterwards, some just left in fear, Jaob then fell unconscious, after that he remembered waking up in the hospital bed.

Harrison is having a hard time believing Jaob because he had very few marks showing, he thought that an attack this big would not leave the old man with so few scratches. Harrison questions if Jaob is telling to truth. Jaob got furious: “I’ve done mistakes in the past, but my words have never told a lie.” Jaob kicks out Harrison of his home.
Later at the police station, Harrison looks at the hospital pictures of Jaob, the scratches looked allot more severe then how it looks now. Harrison was puzzled, but knew that the man was telling the truth after all. There is something strange with this man, he needed to talk to him again.

Harrison though maybe he has some sort of gift, maybe he’s the reason why the creatures attacked the city. Harrison goes back to Jaobs, he apologies to Jaob, Harrison wants to continue the conversation. Jaob excepted Harrison’s apology, and continues the conversation. Harrison said that his recovery time was phenomenal, maybe he should let scientists take a look at that, Jaob :”my ability made me a lab rat once before, again it all seems to go back at the concentration camp during the 1940s, I am not willing to experience that again.” Harrison: “So you really don’t remember anything before the 1940s, do you have any family members or friends that can help you?” Jaob responded: “I don’t remember if I have any siblings, I don’t even remember who raised me, my friends all died, everyone I knew died…” Jaob paused, and then he fell out of his chair.

Harrison looks to see if Jaob is hurt or not, Jaob looks at Harrison: “I just remembered something, My father, my father’s death. He’s been killed… by me! Oh my god I did deserved to be in the holocaust, how can I have killed my own father!” Jaob starts crying. Harrison tried to console Jaob but he pushes him away, “I’m going to jail again, cause I’m a monster!” Jaob cried. Overwhelm with emotion he falls unconscious hitting his head on the floor hard, blood spieling all over the floor.

Jaob wakes up once again in a hospital bed, Harrison is right beside him. Jaob said to Harrison: “my memories are slowly coming back to me, and I don’t like what I see.” Harrison: “What do you remember?” Jaob: “It’s pretty crazy but I do remember living in a castle, drinking blood from a cup, by people who were impaled, I was being called the son of the devil….Vlad Dracula.” Harrison:”So you think you’re around 500 years old and you think you’re the person being rumoured to be the one who started the hole vampire diseases, and you think you killed…what’s his name, Vlad II?” Jaob: “No he’s just someone who I knew, that we made a deal with…. my father is…is… I need to be alone now.” Harrison wanted to know more, but Jaob was still in pain, he needed the rest, so Harrison left him alone.

The next day Harrison gets a phone call, Jaob was ready to talk to him now. Harrison goes to Jaob, Jaob: “I have regain a lot of memories now, I now know what I am, I did indeed cause vampires to exist, it all started when I was lost in the desert with another man. He got completely delusional because of the lack of food and water, he tried to eat me alive, he drank my blood, and it has turned him to a creature, his eyes changed, grew fangs, most of his face changed dramatically.”

Harrison didn’t laugh at Jaob’s miraculous story, he believed him, Harrison: “wow, that’s incredible you are the father of vampires, and your over hundreds of years, but you do have a curse”
Jaob: “Yes, I’m the father of all vampires, I tried to run away from it all for what seems to be a millennium, but a man gave me an offer I couldn’t refuse. He traded his kingdom to become the creature, it turns out the man who drank my blood seemed like he can live as long as I can, He told the people that I was his son he faked his death and I ruled the kingdom, but with the kingdom comes responsibilities, I used my healing powers to my advantage, in countless battles, but it turned me insane, and every time I had severe wounds my healing became slower and slower, so in a few decades I myself faked my own death, Even my adopted children thought I was dead, I loved them dearly but I had to let them believe I was as normal as they were.”

Harrison: “So was the time at the desert the way you found out about you’re ability?”
Jaob: “No, I knew I was different way before that time, I knew my blood was different, I cut my hands for me to bleed and with my blood I touched other people’s wound, and it almost healed instently, I even turned a blind woman to be able to see again, she had an infection in the eyes, with the cut of my hands, I touch her eyes. They soon all worshiped me, they even called me the son of god. At first I enjoyed the attention, I enjoyed helping people, I felt like I was bringing peace to my homeland, but the attention got me crucified.”
Harrison: “Wait this sounds like… no…you can’t be…”
Jaob: “I am what they call me now a days, Jesus Christ”
