The Entertainer/Charle CYOA - Charle the Vampire

"But why? Why did i become a vampire?" Charle ask, clearly worried and dumbfounded about what happened. Lavrek went through a door, revealing a sort of dusty old dance hall. "The wife must really like you a lot! She never explains herself properly to those she wants." "But why me? I don't wanna be a vampire!" The man looks back at him. "Are you sure? The wife usually takes interest in people with certain potential." He shook his head. "I'M THE PRINCE OF MAZEEN! CHARLE MAZEEN! NEXT TO THE THRONE!" He yelled, pointing at himself. The man widened his eyes."Uh oh." He then rubbed his neck. "Yeah uh...Yeah we may have a problem..." The both of them remained silent, Charle awaiting some answers despite his body calling for food.

"Listen, why don't we discuss it upstairs with the family? I'm sure we can plan it out together." Lavrek began to walk, Charle followed him with a morose look. They went through several room and upstairs until they came into what seems to be a dinner hall. A large table with seven people already sat, three boys and two girls of different age. Some were looking normal compared to Delilah's and Lavrek's odd look. They all nodded to Charle while Delilah talked to them.

"Oh! There you are my lovely boy!" Delilah said with a charming tone, except Charle didn't have that strange attraction to her anymore. "I'm not your boy." He crossed his arms together, sitting on the first seat he saw. "Oh, don't sit there, that's your fathe-" "Delilah, let the boy sit there." Lavrek went to another seat, slumping onto the table arms crossed and placing his head on them. "I want to sleeeeeeeeeeeeep..." The man said. "Don't mind Daddy, he's very groggy when he doesn't eat." The youngest girl said. "Yeah, but i think he's trying to kill himself." Another boy said. "That was your fault! We lost the latest newcomer because of you!" Another screamed at him.

"Oh, hush now. Let me present you the family!" Delilah said. "I am Delilah Lacoste. Wife of Lavrek Lacoste." She said in a glamorous tone. "Lavrek is the man who slept with you." Giggles and laughs filled the room. "Delilah, have some manners..." Lavrek was still on his arms, not caring enough to give a proper response. Delilah continued "Kids, why don't you present yourself to your new brother? Youngest to oldest this time!" Charle was really pissed at this moment, but somehow he knew he should stick around for now.

The first one to introduce himself is the oldest looking boy with normal brown eyes and pink fur, wearing formal black clothing, he was also the one the other boy screamed at for losing the other newcomer. "Hey there, I'm Vance, sixteen years old. I think we'll have a lot of fun together!" "Don't! He'll make you leave like the last one!" "Damian, wait for your turn. Anything else you'd like to add, Vance?" "I'm gonna make sure you enjoy yourself a lot." He had a little grin saying so. "Liar." The other boy said. "Sarah, you can introduce yourself." Dalilah said.

"Hello! I hope you don't mind the creepy vibe of the mansion, we're really a nice family! ...Just a little bit odd at times!" One girl said, wearing a frilly blue dress. Her crimson eyes stared straight into Charle's soul. "I'm ten years old, but I'm actually twelve at the moment." Charle ask. "Huh? Delilah, I thought you said youngest to oldest?" "Oh, youngest to oldest vampire! Last time we did the contrary! Sarah, you can finish now, dearie!" She said with a little wave of hand toward her. "I like reading and taking flight at night!" "FLIGHT?" Charle screamed. "YOU SAID FLIGHT?" "Yes, flight." Lavrek rose his head from his arms. "You'll be able to fly soon enough, but you'll need some practice." Charle immediately got down his chair, flapping his arms about and jumping.

The family look at each others and laughed off. "No, no, dummy! Not like that! We'll teach you later!" Sarah continued. Charle felt stupid for doing this and sat back. "But how...?" "Don't worry about it, let them introduce themselves first..." Lavrek slump his head back into his arms. "Anyway, I'm Sarah and I'm pleased to meet you!" "Damian, your turn!"

Damian got down of his chair and bowed down. He was wearing tattered white clothes from head to toes and got grayish fur. His eyes were blue with a slight red taint. "I am Damian from the orphanage of Light's hope." "SHIT HOPE!" Vance screamed, both hands around his mouth toward the boy. "Vance, Language." Delilah crossed her arms and gave him an angry look, he just brushed it off. "Don't be mean! That's where i grew up! Anyway, I am thirteen years old! But I still look like eight..." Lavrek looks back to Charle while still letting his head on his arms. "Vampires don't grow up at all, the age you get bit is the age you'll be forever." "THAT MEANS I'LL NEVER BE AS TALL AS DAD?" Charle slammed the table with his two hands. Looking at the family, they were uneasy about it. "Well...Not quite. You got tricks up your sleeves and you can even transform into other people so if you want to be tall...There's that." Charle sat down. "Oh um...Continue. I really want to hear about all that magical stuff!"

"Trust me, while it is fun...It's not that fun because you have to take the blood of others." Damian said, not too happy to announce the new. "Can i drink the blood of animals?" "Yes." The whole family responded with it's own variant of the word. "Good!" Charle was pleased to hear...Even through he knew he shouldn't be. "I'm really please to see a boy younger than me...How old are you?" "I'm six years old, I've had my birthday three weeks ago." "Really? That's really young!" "Now now, let him properly introduce himself after everyone did, Damian!" "Okay, Mama..." "Wilfred, your turn honey!"

Wilfred got up from his chair. "I am Wilfred, don't wake me up in the day, I like blood. I'm twenty years old. That's all you need to know." He sat back into his chair." The boy looks like he was around thirteen. His eyes were a darker shade of red, completely white fur and wearing old torn black clothes." "Excuse Wilfred, he's not exactly the social type." Delilah say. "Mooooooom..." The mother turns back to the last member that hasn't greeted Charle. "Velerita, your turn!"

The oldest vampire got down from her chair, barely looking like five. "Hello! I am Velerita! Short name is Ria! I used to be five years old when i was bit, today I am...Eighty years old! I've traveled the world on my own but making a stop here was the most pleasant thing!" She had a nice looking noble pink dress along with pink fur and green eyes. Her hair were shaped in a beehive, much like a princess out of a story book. "Velerita was the one to bit me and my husband. But do not worry, we've learned to quickly love our new way of life! Isn't that right, Lavrek...?" The man was busy sleeping. "LAVREK!" He got up "Oh-uh...Uh yeah, we really like it." Dumbfounded he looks around. "Did everyone do introduction?" "Yes, yes we did." Delilah said. "Okay, you can introduce yourself now." Lavrek said with a smile toward Charle.

Charle got up on his chair. "I am Charle Mazeen! Prince! I am the next to the throne!" He said proudly...But with a frown he then said. "Except I think I may have screwed up." Everyone but Lavrek had their own reaction. "Wow, a Prince! A king at that!" Sarah happily said, clutching her two hands together. "You really got the deal, servants~" Velerita playfully tuned. "OH GOD WE'RE GONNA DIE!" Damian screamed out, holding his head. "Wooooow, a little Prince getting caught by the vampire gang. Woohoo!" Vance sarcastically said. "Who cares? Where's the soup?" Wilfred ask, slumping his head into his hand. "Well well well! What a pleasure!" Delilah said. "Everyone calm down." Lavrek finally sat up properly, waving his two hand in front of him as a sign to calm down.

"He may be a Prince, and he may have turned up into a Vampire, but there are still ways he can still be with his family. Delilah, we've talk about this before, and you're being reckless. Don't do that anymore." Delilah crossed her arms and looks way. "Oh hush, you're the one wanting a son." "Yes, but not like that! You know me! Anyway." He turns back to Charle. "Kid, I know it will be very scary in the first place, but I'm sure you'll start to enjoy yourself. You just have a...Different method of eating! That's all!" "And you have to keep yourself satiated or you'll never be able to do the things you want to do!" Velerita said. "Plus you'll find yourself very weak if you don't." Vance added up. "You'll do things you won't enjoy..." Damian said. "Hey, hey, you're going to scare him with your shit." Vance said to him. "I'll be back with the soup!" Delilah said with a whimsical tune, going into another room just behind Wilfred.

"Soup? What soup?" Charle ask. "The water of life." Vance teased up. "It best if you don't know what it is..." Damian added up. "Blood." Wilfred said. "But we just talked about blood not too long ago!" "Go look into the Kitchen! Come on, you'll like it!" "VANCE! NO!" Damian screamed. "I'm just hungry." Charle said. Delilah pushed a trolley table with bowls in it, he passed one to Wilfred first who drank it all up on the go. His fur took a colorful red taint, and his eyes turned to brown. Delilah passed it to the others and made way to Charle. "Here, you'll feel better after this!" She let the bowl in front of him, which he gulped down in an instant, then licking up every inch of the bowl. "Hm, I think i should have left you a little more blood." Lavrek teased. "Get him another bowl, Delilah. He'll need some extra for the night." The other kids whined while delilah took the bowl and went to the kitchen. "Why does he get to have more? It's not fair!" Sarah said.

"Tonight he'll make a decision for himself, Sarah. We can't keep him around if he doesn't want to. It just like the other kids wandering the night, and your other brothers and sisters who decided to spend the night elsewhere." "You have other people?" Charle ask. "Of course! But I'm a family man, I like having a family to tend to." "Liar." Damian said. "It just that lately I've been feeling a bit depressed." "Lately? Oh please you've been like this for years now! You and your precious dreamworld while you're leeching off our kills!" Velerita said. "Hey! That's very demeaning!" Wilfred whined. "I wasn't talking to you!" "Kids, calm down. What I'm trying to say is we shouldn't force him in sticking around. I don't want another case of Felegor in the house." "Felegor?" The Prince ask.

"Oh, that poor child! He didn't take too well in becoming a vampire!" Delilah said, placing the bowl in front of the boy, who gulped it down anew. Lavrek crossed his arms at the wife. His eyes were now blue with a proper shade of color on his fur. "And who was at fault here?" He tapped a finger on his arm. "Oh please! You know I would never...!" Delilah pressed a hand on her chest while saying so...Then placed her two fists on her hip. "Umph. Please. He was the cutest boy! I couldn't resist!" She then bowed down and pinched Charle's cheek. "...But not as cute as you are! You're so adorable i could just gobble you up!" "Ow..." Charle pressed up his cheek. "Anyway, excuse my wife. She has a problem when it comes to making kids. She wants them all." "Not my fault if i can't have any!" "You can have one, it just that you need to be well fed all the time!" Velerita added up. "Body functions will remains the same as long as you're fully fed...However your body will decay after some time until you get another dose.

"I've had one that way, never again." Hushed Delilah. "Now if you excuse me, I'll be feeding myself." "So, Charle. Can you tell me about your life?" Lavrek ask. "I'm usually playing and learning stuff to become a King. That's about it!" "How do you feel knowing that you may be able to do all of that plus more?" "Well..I really wanna learn the magical stuff. You said flight? Transforming into other people?" The man nodded. "And much more! How did you feel when you saw my wife? Was she beautiful? Gorgeous?" He nudged the boy with his elbow. "Come on, she must have been pretty hot, huh?" "Well...I don't know! Something about her made me want to stay with her!" "Ohhh, you'll have fun learning about this one!" Vance teased. "If you spend time with me, you'll learn exactly what it is." "DON'T! ...Spend time with me instead! You'll see all there is to do without Vance...Without Vance!" Damian screamed up, lightly getting up of his chair. "NO NO! Come play with me! I always wanted to be at a Prince's side!" Sarah lulled.

"Kids, please! If there is someone he has to go with, it is me!" Velerita cooed up. "Well...If everyone is pitching themselves in teaching the boy, I might as well add this. If you ever wanted father son time, I'm right there." Lavrek said. "Oh please, he should be with me!" Delilah entered the room, looking more like a rose with her heart shaped eyes. "Delilah, fix your eyes. It's gonna creep the kid." "No! I like them this way!" Lavrek looks back at Charle. "What do you say, Kid?"

• "I want to learn with the oldest vampire! She must know EVERYTHING!"
• "I wanna be with Sarah!"
• "Damian, could you teach me?"
• "Vance seems cool, I'll go with him."
• "Father son time does sound nice..."
• "I'm gonna go with Delilah."
• "Thank you but I should really be going back home. I don't want my family to panic..."
