Jason(1)

                                     
                                         ''I'll kill you and your dreams tonight
                                          begin new life
                                          Bleed your death upon me
                                          Let your bloodline feed my youth''
                                                                                              (Slayer)




Jason always believed his life was going to be perfect. And why shouldn't he?
His family was considered one of the wealthiest in his country and he was an only child.
Anything he might have wanted he was able to obtain.
His father was always busy with his business, his mother could always be found at some social gathering and Jason was always free to do as he pleased.
He was tall, handsome, with a perfect body and straight, long, black hair.
Since his early years in high school he had been the center of attention.
Every girl wanted to be his girl and he rarely refused them, at least until the next one came along.

His reputation of being one of the most wanted boyfriends followed him in the univercity where he went to study computers. Not that he was going to work anyway, it's just that he liked all the illegal things he and his friends could do in this golden age of internet.
Piracy, porn, drugs everything was inside the internet, you just had to know how and where to look for it.
And Jason was good at that.
He also made enough money with this hobby, money he spent to keep his "work's" gear always upgraded.
He didn't believe in morality nor in feelings such as love though he had passion, at least for computers.
His family life was a mess, a proof that marriage was old fashioned nowadays.
He had also learned from a very young age that he could not afford to have friends, everyone and everything had a price and he knew that his economic status was a reason to be envied or hated.
His lack of friends was covered by a wide network of contacts he had made through the internet.
There was nothing he might have wanted that he was not be able to find.
That was what he loved about the internet, having a digital friend in Peru might prove useful when searching for a cocaine dealer in your country or helping someone from Australia was a nice way to learn about good places to visit if you were going there on vacation.

At some point he had built a small empire consisting of networks throughout the world and at the age of 25 he would be considered a millionaire already if the goverment knew how much money he was earning.
But success only lasts for a while.
One day while trying to hack one of the random agencies around the world he found a "rear window" for a network he had never seen.
It had no point of origin and followed none of the usual protocols.
Jason was sure that that was something of military nature and information on military plans was selling like crazy.
He took all the necessary precautions and started experimenting with this network.
To his surprise he didn't find any military information, only a weird chat room with many members with nicknames from all over the world discussing very strange things about clans, powers, a nightly war or even a headhunt in a distant city.
''What kind of freaks are they?'' he thought.
He was about to leave the chat room when his security systems alerted him that someone was trying to track him.
''Let them try, it's not that easy to...'' he was thinking when he noticed that someone had already passed most of his secutiry filters.
-For Christ's sake, Jason gasped in surprise.
He turned the power off cuting every link to his computer but for a reason he was not sure he had managed to do it fast enough.
''Whoever was so able to bypass his security systems so easily, was a million light years ahead in the hacking business''.
He knew exactly what his next move should be. He saved everything he might need in a flash disk and destroyed his equipment. He even left his house, donating it anonymously to an institution, and moved to another part of the town leaving no trail behind.

In the next two weeks his life turned to normal again.
He had almost forgotten about that weird network when one night he got an e-mail.
No name, no adress, nothing, the mail just popped on his screen.
Already terrified, he opened it.
''I SEE YOU'' were the only words in it.
-SHIT! he exclaimed.
In his panic Jason grabbed his wallet, threw some clothes in a backpack and rushed to the garage for his car.
Once inside he started the engine aiming to get to the airport and then leave the country for some time.
He had driven only for some meters when, looking in his central mirror, he saw a monstrous face on his back seats.
Then everything went black.


Next time Jason opened his eyes he was not in his car, he could feel the stone cold, wet floor and everything around smelled like the sewers.
He stood up only to discover he was naked and none of his possesions was around.
Only a few enormous mice with huge red eyes.
He couldn't see very well in the darkness of the sewers but he was sure he saw a figure approaching.
-Who are you? Why am I here?
-Silence, you are disturbing my little friends! said a voice that couldn't possibly be human.
In a split second the same monstrous face appeared in front of him. That man was almost like a movie monster.
-Next time, mortal, do not mess with things you cannot understand.
-Who are you? asked Jason trembling. What did I do to you?
-Took me two weeks to find you but there is no escape, how can it be when you are a mortal and I am eternal!!!
-What do you want from me?
-You had everything you wanted in your life, money, women, success, but most of them came to you by default and you are so ignorant that you wanted more, always more...Now it's time to pay the price.
-Are you going to kill me?
-Kill you? Of course not my little Jason, I am going to give you life eternal, so you will have your chance to prove you worth without all the riches given to you.
-What do you mean? What are you?
-We are a clan of vampires, some call us tunnelers, others call us rats, we don't mind or at least we do not show it. That chat room you found was our main way to communicate with each other 24/7 and exchange information on everything. I know you are messing with information too so you may find us kindred spirits if I am allowed to say so. That's why I will put you in a test. Some minutes ago a murdered, burnt corpse was found in the remains of your crashed car with all your papers on it. From this night on you are dead...
-What?!!!
-And you will be, partially at least. I am gonna change you Jason, you will become one of us but this time after your rebirth there will be no riches to rely upon. I am going to throw you naked in the streets of a hostile city with nothing of your own and if you survive you may have a chance to live a ''normal'' life, else you're gonna be killed. Either way, you are dead.
-And how are you going to ensure that I am not coming back to my family? said Jason ironically.
-My little pathetic mortal, take a look at me! Do you imagine yourself going to your house and trying to convince your father that it is you, their already dead and burried beloved son?
-You're gonna make me a monster!!! shouted Jason.
-Yes so that you may learn than appearances should never matter, I was assigned to find you for your uninvited entry to our network and I was pleased to find out that you have so much to lose. I believe you had a very active sexual life and I am really curious if, now that you will become a walking monster, there gonna be any girls willing to sleep with the famous hacker Jason anymore?
By the looks of your face I believe you are taking my offer as a curse, I assure you it's not. You may find your real self now that I am going to remove your mask.
You are a monster already Jason and I am going to give you the appearance of one!
Maybe one day you will thank me for this night.
-Who are you?
-I go around with many names but you can call me Memmon and now my little friend it's time for you to die!
Jason screamed as the monster grabbed him, but only once, then the huge canine teeth bit his neck and Jason fell in a coma of ecstacy and fear.


The next time he opened his eyes he could smell fresh air along with rotten food and a cold breeze reminded him that he was still naked.
He looked around to see that he was in a small, dark road amidst loads of rotten food and garbage.
He could hear voices but none were in a language he knew.
He stood and tried to find something to cover his body. He found only a torn,old blanket with which he covered his lower parts.
Although he could feel the cold around him he was not cold himself.
He started to walk hoping that the man had just drugged him and mugged him.
He passed near a broken window and looked at himself only to see that his image didn't appear on the glass.
-What the fuck?
He looked at his hands, they were a mix of white with a bit of blue. His fingers were long with huge black nails at the end.
He raised his hands to touch his face.
He screamed when he realised that the man had been telling the truth.
He could feel that his face had changed. He was skinny with no hair on his head and his ears had become long and pointy like a bat's.
He realised that all this time in his mouth he could sense two enormous canines but not many of his other teeth.
He started to run in fear, calling for help.
Soon he was out in a bigger street where cars and humans were passing by.
A woman saw him and screamed in terror. A man, only two meters away, had frozen in place having seen this monstrous creature.
Jason continued to crying for help when he felt it for the first time.
A new smell awakening an animalistic instinct in him.
Those humans were smelling good, he could almost see their blood red veins pulsing with the liquid that could satisfy him.
Then his beast took control, he opened his mouth and charged at the nearby man.
As soon as his teeth bit his neck Jason felt the warm blood in his mouth and it was like the best orgasm he had ever had.
He couldn't stop himself until the man fell down, dead.
Now the screams around him had multiplied.
He felt an urge to run and hide so he went back to the small dark road he had come from.
-What am I doing? Did I really kill that man? And I drank his...oh god, please no!!!
He would cry but no tears were left in his eyes.
He could hear the police sirens aproaching and he just laid down waiting to be arrested.
-Messy thing what you've done mate, he heard a voice.
He jumped on his feet and looked around him. No one was around.
-Not again! Where are you?
-Again? I believe it is our first meeting, let me introduce myself.
A pale, blond man, dressed in a weird uniform of old had appeared out of nowhere only a few meters away from him.
-Who are you?
-You can call me sir Nick, I have to insist on the "Sir" part since I have earned that title by her majesty Queen Victoria!
''Queen Victoria? What is he talking about?'' thought Jason.
-And you are?
-I am Jason, where are we?
-You don't know? You are in Thessaloniki.
-Thessaloniki? Oh my god, what is happening to me?
-You don't know? Your creator hasn't told you?
-My what? No! I met a strange person that told me he would punish me and then he bit me and I awoke here, tonight.What is happening to me?
-Do you know the name of this person?
-He called himself Memmon.
-Memmon? Then you must be the famous Jason, hahahaahahahaha!
-Why are you laughing?
-Oh my friend, I am so sorry but I didn't expect to find the person that broke into our network in my town.
I knew someone had placed a price on your head but that bastard Memmon left you here, like this?Hahahahaha
-You know him?
-I know a lot of things, like you. Come my friend.
-Where?
-I had come to kill you  for breaking our laws by killing in open view but worry not, we have so much to discuss, us two.
-About?
-About your new life, I hope you realise you have changed and I am going to teach you how to be your new self.
-And what's the price of that?
-Price? No price, I am just helping out a brother. You see, us tunnelers, we are all brothers and only by helping each other can we survive in this nightly war.
-Are you like me? You are not a monster!
-Of course I am not, not the way you say it at least and as for my appearance it's a trick most of my brothers and sisters have in order to fool humans and enemies as well. I will teach it to you one day.
Now come before those damn, lazy policemen come here.
-The man I killed?
-It's been taken care of by one of your new brothers. I have to introduce you to them later.
Welcome to Thessaloniki Jason! I don't know if you are gonna like your new self but if I am not judging wrong from your previous life, you are gonna love your new one!
