Vampire Phantasm: Up the Hill
by Marona

Part 1:Differences


The owls hooted outside the spooky dark castle with bats flying.As the sound was heard,eyes were open.Eyes of despair,hate,and anger.As usual another day of torture...or maybe another day of being in paradise?

The black haired man got up and grumbled and cursed.He got up and got himself ready for another night.Jack brushed his hair finally since it has been aggravating him.Hey it is possible for that fine silky hair to be messy!

He walked out of the room of his and closed the door.A blonde haired pale woman walked passed by.She glared at him while walking by.The woman,Jill,still wasn't used to this even after all this time.

"Hmph."he grinned."What's the matter?Still can't get used of a change?"he then laugh.

"I don't even wanna talk to you."she said and continued walking.

Fool he thought to himself.Why would he be so rude about this?He could have told her alot or ask 'how's it going' and all.

A little fun he thought.Maybe just that.

"I dunno but with Ren in my opinion,she would match up with Orlock really.She is just a female version of him if you know what I mean."A voice was heard while Jack walked in with his gloomy eyes in the living room of the second floor."Maila stood there laughing then looked at the raven haired man."Hi Jack...are you alright?"

"You always ask that and you know how it is.What is this,Topaz?Playing the 'pairing up' game?"he grinned.

"We were talking about how Ren and Orlock were alike.Pretty funny if you picture it."Topaz laughed.Jack sighed."I can picture you in another bloody torture by Orlock."

"...Alright tell us."Maila said.

"Tell what?"

"Something is on your mind.I can tell."she said

"Ohhh I get it."Topaz grinned and began.

"Jack and Jill
went up the hill
to fetch a pail of water
Jack fell down and broke his-"

"SHUTUP!!!"Jack got up and almost punched him.But Topaz dodged fast."Sorry...I figured it would be a good joke."

"...Jill..."

"Hmm?What about her?"he asked."There's something...within her with my 'other life'."

"...But how can I communicate with her if she understands nothing at all?"Jack looked down.



Part 2:Comparisons



Stupid jerk she thought as she walked in her room.Her dress dragged on the carpet and the stars gave a dark reflection on her bed.Jilliana,as known as Jill,brushed her hair and looking at the mirror.It doesn't matter,she can't see her reflection since she is a vampire.

Things with Jill has been...well she says hell.It was like living with a pack of devils.But partly she thinks not as since Maila and Topaz were nice to her.Vallov wasn't very talkative of course.And Riff-Raff...well you know what happened to him.You don't wanna know.

Jill sighed putting the brush down and looked at the mirror."I've suffered to much...why couldn't I die?...It's too late now."she sighed and looked away at the mirror.

What about Jack?Jill could tell he suffered alot too.Maile and Topaz she cannot sense.

Jill walked out of the door and bumped into a dark cloaked man.

Vallov.

"Uh...hi?"she said embarassingly waving a hand.

"Hmph."he walked away.Jill sighed and went the opposite way.

After few steps through the dark hall of the castle,the stars twinkled in the dark.Vallov spoke."I can tell you're wondering about Jack."he stated.

"What so you're starting a conversation with me?"she crossed her hands without looking.

"It depends if you want to know...you know you're the one that isn't in 'hell'."

Jill turned around.She knew it.Jack wasn't being mean to her because of...well fooling around.Something about her made Jack uncomfortable and suffering.

"If you want me to tell then come.If you prefer not,then I suggest you not wasting my time.My life's meaning is to be around Jack,not spend wasting time talking."Vallov faded in the dark.Jill looked as she could not resist the knowledge she needed to know.

"Wait up!!!"she started running,nearly tripping because of that dress of hers.



Vallov stopped at Jack's room.Jill crossed her arms again."Oh don't tell me we're going to talk to him."she said disgusted.Vallov said nothing and opened the door.

No one there.

Jill looked around at his room.It was the same as hers but instead it was messy.Broken glass,opened window.Even a bat flew in.

Jill looked at Vallov."Are we looking for something?"

Vallov pointed at a drawer of the dresser.Jill walked and opened it.She took the book and pondered...she then blew on the book and dust flew around.

Album of Price's

"A...photo album?"Jill said.Vallov spoke."When I was created,my master's feeling hungered for the memories.I knew everything about him...I went back to his house...everything was stolen except this book.I took it."

"Oh..."Jill looked away."But Jack tried to 'move on' and ignored the book.So he hid it."

Jill sat on the bed and opened the book.The first section was Jack's pictures.Many shown on pages that showed him winning contests such as the food eating one,athletic contest,and of course the cooking contest.By the looks of him holding a burnt cake,it didn't see he was a very good cook now did it?

Jill giggled at the pictures as she couldn't help it."He seemed a very nice person."

She turned the pages.

Emily.The title of the page.

"Emily...?Who is Emily?"

Vallov said nothing.

She looked at the pictures of Emily beautifully dressed.One of the pictures was her in an army suit since she was sort of a tomboy like Jill.Another picture of her in a bad hair day.

"She...looks just like me..."

The pages were turned.

Julia.

"What?"

Pictures were shown of Julia crawling and giggling.The baby girl crying too in funny times.A picture of Emily's stomach being huge which obviously was pregnant.

The last page was turned.

Our Family.

She looked at a few but one she took out.

Jack holding an arm around Emily and her holding Julia around her arms.

"So...that was his wife...and daughter?"Jill figured.

Vallov spoke again."Orlock snuck in on a windy night and-"

"ORLOCK?!"the woman glared and got up.

"He went for the child first and slitted her throat...Emily and Jack were shocked at him.Orlock tackled Emily and ripped her apart..."

"Oh my god..."Jill said covering her mouth and her eyes in tears and shock.

"Jack was last but he was forced to be a vampire by Orlock.No matter how much he pleaded for death,he became who he is now.Jack Darkness."

"Oh...my god...oh my god..."Jill buried in tears.But then tears turned to anger."That bastard...THAT BASTARD!!!"she screamed.

"There is nothing you can do about it even if-"Vallov then turned around.

Jilliana was gone.

Jill slammed the door and ran as fast as she could,she ignored the trips of her dress.He ran through the long hallway and through the lobby.

"Jill?"Jack looked at her as she ran fast.

"Woah is she in a hurry..."Topaz said.

Jill then ran downstairs of the lobby.Even if Jack was a jerk sometimes,that gave no right for Orlock to do these things she thought.

She stopped at a huge wooden door.Her face in anger and fear.She took a deep breath and slammed it open with her might.The thing that vampires would never do.

"You..YOU BASTARD!!!"she screamed.A shadowy figure sitting on a chair ahead just sat and looked at her.

Maximillian Orlock.

"I can't believe you do these things to people!!!"she walked to him."Even if Jack was a jerk I can't believe you let him be tortured by all of this crap!You think you can go around killing people and make them suffer their lives!?"

Jill was infront of Orlock who was looking at her blankly...

"JUST WHO DO YOU THINK YOU ARE?!"she screamed.

Orlock jumpped up and grabbed her neck and squeezed it.The woman gasped for breath.He then grinned and said.

"Your worst nightmare."
