Danton

At night the wet air wasn't as intense. It was nothing like the desert of his home planet, but Danton breathed easier at night.

Patrols were punched up, everyone doing double duty, working in the enclaves or tank farms, breeding as often as they could be forced into the programs. He'd been with several human women lately, the trysts anything but consensual. The women were terrified, often drugged, often bound.

His heart pounded the whole time. Ever since the massacre at the amphitheater, ever since the rousing assembly when they renewed their pride and devotion to their homeland, their race, he'd felt a pride in every Vampyren action taken.

He and Lan trained together, ate together, toured together when they could, but there weren't enough Vampyren now so many were either dead, dying or in hospital. The massacre had dwindled their tanks further.

That meant more food for everyone – those women who were caught didn't talk. Several took poison before they could even be used as food.

The moods were ugly. But Danton felt renewed. His loyalty had been waning, his fealty in question. He had been uncomfortable with their mission on Earth.

No longer.

He straddled the bike, feeling the engine purr between his massive legs. Compared to human men, the Vampyren were like a human male facing down a charging rhinoceros or a grizzly bear. They were so much more huge, more muscled, dark skinned, long hair that tended to be black. They grew beards easily and their gold eyes missed little.

Still the human males, those left, attacked. By now most races would be down to the beta males, the ones like the local governments that did what they had to in order to survive and considered that public service.

This planet was strange. The men continued to attack. The women took arms and were violent even when not being mated.

He had started to admire their spirit before the massacre reminded him of who and what he was. Vampyren. Conqueror.

"I saw something down that way," Lan said, nodding. He was in a Jeep, barely fitting, but sometimes a vehicle was better for giving chase than a motorcycle. With two hearts, it was harder for Vampyren to be killed by a human weapon but not impossible, as the massacre had shown.

"I'll be right here."

Their post was in an area called Hollywood, a tribute to lavish excesses of the planet. In truth he liked movies, undiscerning between those that featured the Earth version of his own kind as demons and those that featured them as playfully wicked and silly. It was like a kind of porn for them.

He liked comedies, too, though he'd never even tell Lan that.

He wasn't expecting anything. Three a.m., the moon rode the skies and the city was silent. Humans largely weren't stupide enough to go outside at night unless desperation; drove them.

He waved Lan off, watched the taillights head down and turn onto another street and vanish through the maze of broken buildings.

He turned back just in time to see the motorcycle
