The Baby Vampire Anthony My name is Anthony. My last name is meaningless until I am officially adopted. I have lived in the Morgan St. Christian hospital for most of my life, since I was five years old. Before I was taken from my home my mother abused me. My parents were divorced and in a vicious legal battle and somehow mom won me. For a year I was tortured in the worst ways. One time for instance, I was force-fed laxatives from a bottle, and then when I couldn't hold it any longer, I pooped all over the floor. My mother picked me up, sat me on the gas stove and turned it on. Because of this, I can never have children. It was after my aunt came to visit that I was taken away and my mom put into a mental institute. I have a problem with wetting the bed now, and they treat me like it's my fault sometimes. It depends on who's shift it is when I do it. If it's Angelique's shift, than it's a smooth ride. But if Hariet is on duty, I can count on being made to walk around in a diaper the whole day. Well, for the past two weeks this guy has been coming by and taking me out. He only comes around the time the sun sets and he brings me back before midnight. I think he may adopt me. He's really cool. His house is like this huge mansion, and I get a room to myself when I spend the night. We go to the carnival, we take trips to Canada, and Spain, and all sorts of places. Please God let him adopt me. His name is Marcus. Marcus I am the Vampire Marcus. I was created in the year one thousand A.D. I was about twenty years old and I had been born in Northern Ireland, during a time of myth and legend. When I was truly young, my parents expected much of me. I was only five when I was trained to keep watch over the sheep, and I was eight when I learned how to butcher. I never had the pleasures of most young children at that age, and since my creation, I wanted more than anything to raise a child on my own. But being a vampire, I lack the necessities to mate or reproduce. Over the last millennium I spent nights feeding on the blood of those who would do harm to children. Murderers, molesters, and kidnappers. It was the year two thousand when I decided finally, that I would adopt a child of my very own. I would raise him into adult hood, and take care of his every need. He would be spared no expense, and not a night would go by when my arms would wrap around his fragile and vulnerable body and hold them tight. When he turned twenty years old, I would turn him into a vampire, like myself. I would leave my entire estate to him, and he would grow to be strong. I set my sights on a boy named Anthony when I came across a little city called Burlington. I purchased a mansion and hired several housekeepers whom I paid top dollar each day. I owned a black Dodge Viper and over three hundred miles of field, which I rented out to the agriculture departments and the schools. While driving through town one night, I came across a children's hospital on Morgan Street. As though the god Osirus himself were enticing me, I parked across the street and walked across the street to the building. I walked through the hospital like a ghost that no one seemed to notice. After a thousand years I have the ability to hide myself from plain sight and to read and influence people's thoughts. The first vampire I made would have my abilities, which was why I needed to find the right child. I passed the rooms of leukemia and spina bafida patients. Despite the efforts of modern medicine, some children had to suffer from disease. Finally I came across a section of the hospital meant for orphans. There I saw the most beautiful little boy, walking around with nothing but a diaper and a white shirt. His hair was short and blond, and his eyes were bright blue. Currently his skin was a bit red. I could sense the blood rushing through his face as the embarrassment of having to wear a diaper around his peers was settled in. "I didn't mean to wet the bed, I swear." He pleaded with a woman who was on duty. "You know the rules, babies wear diapers. When you can stop acting like a baby I'll take off the diaper." The young child sank into the back of the room. And sobbed. Bedtime came around, and all I could do was watch poor Anthony as he was picked up and taken to a changing table in the nursery. He didn't struggle at all as the nurse took his diaper off and wiped him clean with baby wipes. I noticed burn scars all over his legs and waist, indicating that he had been burned at an early age. My keen sight could also see that his penis and testicles were partially damaged. That would explain his bed-wetting, and why was this nurse being so cruel. Didn't she know that he had no control over this? Later that week I enrolled into the hospital's mentoring program. I took Anthony out to the movies, I took him to the beach, and to my mansion. He had spent many nights at my home, and I took him around the world, with permission of the hospital. Finally the time came when I would take him home. It was seven o'clock on a Sunday when I drove there in my Viper. Anthony was waiting in the lobby with a suitcase of minor belongings. His beaming smile was bright enough to almost equal the power of the sunlight. I guided the thirteen-year-old to my car, which he adored, and we were off to my mansion. "Thank you for taking me with you Marcus," Anthony said to me on the way home. His hair blew in the wind and reflected the moonlight. From the edginess of his voice I could sense that he was worried. "I think I should level with you, I wet the bed, and sometimes I poop and pee in my pants. I don't mean it, but I have a hard time controlling myself." "That doesn't make a difference to me," I promised him. "I will care for you no matter what. " When we arrived at the mansion, my butler Craig took Anthony's case and we showed him to his new room. The night before I bought him a brand new bed with blue linens and comforters. I bought him a television with video games stacked along the back wall. "Oh god, this is awesome!" Anthony ran around the room twice and jumped up on the bed. I smiled with delight at his happiness. "Aren't you afraid of spoiling me?" "I could never spoil you my child," I told him sincerely. Anthony I was so psyched. Marcus was the greatest guy I had ever known. Now I would be living with him in his mansion forever. As I sat on the bed, Marcus sent the butler away and came over to the bed. I instinctively curled up next to him. "There are some rules," he said. I shrunk back a bit at the thought of rules. I had already faced enough rules at the orphanage. I didn't need more. I was going to be good, that was for sure. I knew there were kids way worse than me who got more than any poor person deserved. "The first rule is, you must sleep during the day, which is when I sleep." Marcus began turning to look at me. "At night we will go wherever you want, and you will have hundreds of dollars to spend on anything, so long as it does not hurt you. And thirdly, every biological need you require, except for teeth brushing and eating, will be taken care of by me. "You must wear diapers and let me change them whenever you soil or wet them." I cringed at that. I didn't like being forced to use diapers again. But I liked the thought of being given money, and being able to go out at night. At least for once, someone would be caring for me. "Okay Marcus, I'll where diapers," I agreed. Marcus smiled and hugged me close. "Lets get a bath first, then I'll diaper you, and we'll go to the mall." He took me to the largest bathroom I have ever seen in the world. There was a Jacuzzi next to the toilet, and fresh clothes lying next to it. I couldn't believe they were mine! They were Tommy Hilfiger, which was one of my favorite brands of clothes, but were always too expensive. Marcus took my shirt off gently and had me sit down to take my shoes off. Then he unbuttoned my pants and pulled them down to my ankles. I stood up and pulled my legs out of them. I was standing in my underwear now. I felt my penis becoming hard as he peeled them from my waist. "There's no need to be embarrassed," he said calmly. "It happens to all boys at your age. " Marcus picked me up and held me with one hand on my butt as he carried me over to the tub. No other grown-up could ever pick me up at my age. I was just too heavy, but Marcus held me as though I really were as light as a baby! I was gently lowered into the warm water. It felt so good to sit there, and I felt strangely comfortable when Marcus cleaned my body. I was nervous at first, but for the first time in my life, someone's hands were touching me without intent on harming me. Marcus, who was ten times stronger than my mother was, would never put me on a stovetop, or beat me with a belt, or starve me to death. I was safe. The jet streams massaged my body as Marcus washed my hair with Suave shampoo. When the bath was over, I was lifted out and lied down on the linoleum floor. Marcus picked up a big diaper that looked like it would fit over me. He lifted my legs up with one hand and slipped it under my butt. Then he pulled the front over my waist and fastened the tapes. "Now, every bathroom need is taken care of," Marcus finished. "You may dress yourself. I wasn't sure what you liked, so I bought every garment of clothing the catalog had." I put on my new clothes and combed my hair. "Where are we going tonight?" I asked excitedly. "Let's go to Lake Champlain tonight," Marcus suggested as they left the bathroom. "We'll have dinner down by the beach." My heart raced as I rode in the passenger seat through the bright city of Burlington. This Viper was one of the coolest cars in the world. The feel of my new clothes gave me a lift I would never have dared to feel a few years ago. At the beach Marcus bought me two hotdogs with everything on them, salt and vinegar chips, and a bottle of root beer. When I asked him why he wasn't going to eat, he told me something I didn't think I would ever believe. Marcus "Anthony my son," I began uneasily. "I can't eat the same food you do. The reason is because my body is not alive like yours is." There was a twist of uncertainty and disbelief in his face as Anthony tried to assimilate the information I had given him. "I am over one thousand years old, even though I look twenty," I continued. "I am a vampire. " "Yeah right," Anthony giggled. He quickly stopped laughing when I showed him my fangs. I put him at ease by explaining why I adopted him. I told him that I was not given a very good chance as a child, and now that I had one, I was going to care for him until the day when he would be made a vampire. "You must never tell anyone what I am," I explained. "In the daytime the sunlight can kill me, which is why it is better if you slept during then. Sometimes you can sleep with me, but if you were found without supervision, I would be hunted. And when you are twenty, I will make you immortal like me. You will be very powerful, and you will never die. " Anthony thought for a long time. He had no reason to think I was deceiving him, I had even shown him my thoughts and memories. Finally he agreed to keep my secret. "Can we go to Australia?" He asked indifferently. "We can go wherever you want to," I told him. "In the meantime, finish your dinner, because tonight, we are going to the theater." Anthony The play was "The Bells are Ringing." It was about some girl who worked in an answering service and fell in love with some play writer. In the middle of the play the hot dogs began to kick in. I felt pressure in my lower bowels. Even though I had the diapers, I knew they wouldn't protect the smell. Everyone in the theater would smell it and know that I wore diapers. Marcus noticed this and spoke to me with his mind. Don't worry about it. I will make it so that no one senses it. He assured me. Still I was reluctant. I wanted to hold it just a little longer. A few minutes before intermission I felt a pain in my stomach. I let go of my sphincter control and let the poop out. It slowly pushed past between my still closed butt cheeks. The poop was hard and I had to push a bit. But it all came out and when I sat it squished around all over the place. No one reacted or seemed to notice the smell. Marcus took me out into the parking lot where more diapers rested in the back seat. He laid me down in the front and took out a diaper, some baby wipes, and some baby powder. I was amazed that he was doing this outside where everyone could see me, but I was even more amazed at how no one else did see me. As Marcus undid the buttons on my dress pants and pulled them down to my ankles I asked him, "How are you doing this?" "I am over a thousand years old, Anthony," he explained. "As vampires live they become more and more powerful. I can do things that other vampires are too weak to attempt." "You mean there are more vampires like you?" I asked as Marcus undid the tapes around my diaper and pulled the front down. "Thousands more. Some right here in Burlington," Marcus replied. "Most of them keep to themselves. And they wouldn't dare attack you if they sense me nearby. " "Will I become more powerful when you make me a vampire?" Marcus lifted my legs up and wiped away the worst of the poop with the wipes. He gently ran another wipe between my cheeks causing an instant erection. "You will be the first one I turn into a vampire," he answered wiping around my testicles where the poop smeared. "So yes, you will have all of my powers. You will never need to wear diapers or use the bathroom, or even eat, but you will have to feed on others." "I can do that," I said as Marcus slipped another diaper under my butt and pulled it up around my waist. "Other vampires I make after you will be weaker. But their powers grow with time and soon they will be like me. You will have the same power." Marcus helped me up and I stepped back into the parking lot. We were on our way into the theater when he stopped and pointed at a couple leaving the building. The man was wearing a dress suit and the woman was wearing a white satin dress. "See them over there?" Marcus asked me pointing. The man looked over his date and briefly smiled at Marcus. For an instant I thought he was an old friend, but then it dawned on me, "He's a vampire!" "Shhh. We never give each other's secret away. And it looks like he's about to take that beautiful young woman to dinner. " I laughed at Marcus's joke as we headed back to watch the rest of the play. That is how I became a vampire's son.
