"The Erotic Nightmare begins for Lelio Froste in Jason Daniel Kowalczyk's first release." This is the story of Lelio Froste and how he became a vampire. A man that in his mortal years, sadness was allowed to rule over him. It was the sadness that cost him his first love Sakara. It was many years after the divorce, when he had decided that life was not worth living, that she returned to him to save his life. She also offered him a new one. Lelio had to go through the transformation into a vampire to finally learn to value life. This story is not for the faint at heart or the easily offended. Jason spins a story of gothic, horror, erotica, love, and violence. Not only is Lelio able to save his own self, he somehow manages to save the world in the process. This is the first cut, first release, and unedited version of the tale.

Excerpt from “The Blood Companion” by Jason Daniel Kowalczyk
It was not hard to find Sakara; I was able to find her by homing in on her scent. Not the slight scent of death that one carries throughout his vampiric immortality. But the scent that she had always had, the scent of her skin, her hair, scents that I had always associated with her. The wind seemed to carry that scent directly to me. It was as if the world was trying to usher me to her side.
She was at the top of the lighthouse that was set on the island just off the coast of the city. There were only two structures on that island, as I have mentioned before, the lighthouse and the Asylum for the mentally handicapped and disturbed.
It was like a scene out of a movie, her there on that catwalk, her hair gently swaying in the breeze. The sea beyond her, the stars in the sky, and the moonlight dancing on the waters adding a sparkle to the entire scene that could have been in any movie and warmed your heart.
I came down on the walkway near her and she threw her arms around my neck, she was giggling, “I am so happy that you came to me. I thought you were angry with me.” This was the Sakara that I had first fallen in love with when I was a mortal boy. This is the Sakara I had always wanted to have back in my arms again.
“No, Sakara,” I paused to kiss her neck, “you are my eternity, I love you.”
She pulled back just enough to look into my eyes, how I loved when she would do that. Her green eyes sparkled in the moonlight; “will the tale you are writing on the computer have a happy ending?”
I laughed heartily, “being in your arms right now, could there be any doubt to the ending of the tale being a happy one.”
Chills and a sinking feeling in my stomach.
Why?
Her smile wavered for a moment, then it was altogether gone, “I don’t want this, and you know that don’t you.” It took me a moment or two to realize what she had just said to me. It felt so right to be in her presence, and it shocked me to hear her make that statement at that moment. Not now, don’t do this now, this is too happy of a moment.
“LIES!” That buzz in the back of my head.
I knew what she meant, and I knew that it was not the love that we shared, “Don’t say this now, Sakara. It is not what you have; it is what you do with it.” Yes, I stole that line from the visions Sakara had shown me so long ago; Roger’s parents had said that to him. It was a true statement, wasn’t it?
“I don’t want to live forever, I never did, remember? I showed you that I was made against my will, I never wanted it, and I still do not. I had told Maggie I could deal with it, but I was so very wrong. I thought that if you were here with me, I could do it, but look what I did to you once I brought you over. Please, Lelio, do it because I do love you.” The saddest part of it all, as I looked at her, I saw her as more beautiful than I had ever seen her. She had finally regained that innocence that I had always seen in her eyes.
My arms came away from her and I stepped back a few steps, “I wanted this only to be with you. We should be one, how can you say that you do not want this, when we are finally together.” I was groveling, I know it, but I know what she was to ask of me, and how could I do such a thing.
She sighed and turned her back to me, “I do not want to be a monster. I may have control of the Darkness within me, but I am still a monster that lives by killing others. Deep down inside, you have always been strong and can take whatever comes your way and survive with it no matter how you ache. I am not as strong as you are. I do not want this, I never did, and I could never live with it. No matter how you hurt, or how you have thought to kill yourself, you go on, and you survive. The vampires need someone that strong to be their god. There can only be darkness if I keep this power.”
“LIES!” All right, that damn buzz in my head was beginning to piss me off.
I placed my hands on her shoulders and turned her to face me, “Let me be strong enough for you, don’t give up as I have done all of my mortal life. Fine, you don’t want to kill, that is fine, I will overfeed each night, and you can feed from me. I will do anything it takes to keep you here with me. Hell, I will open up my own blood bank; let the humans donate their blood to you. What we do not feast upon, we will give to the hospitals to save the lives of the innocents.”
Her eyes glistened as blood tears swelled in her eyes; “you would do such a thing for me.”
“Your happiness is very important to me,” I think there were tears in my eyes; “I will easily do anything it takes to keep you here with me. I don’t like to kill, and I don’t even have to, as Roger told you. That is why I only feed on the scum of the city; it keeps my conscience from attacking me. But if you wish, I won’t even kill then, I will take what I need and let the bastard live.”
“It is different for me and you know it. It is not only the monster that I have become, I want to be free, and there is only on way for me to do that.” She struggled to be strong and to hold her tears back; “the only way I can truly be free from all that I have done is to fade from existence. I have thought only of this while you were in the earth. It is what has to be, I cannot turn away from what must be. If I destroy myself, hundreds will die, I can‘t allow that. It has to be you.”
What has to be?
If I had not been so heartbroken, I may have asked what the hell she meant by that.
“Is that why, because I left you to go into the earth?”
“No, Lelio. This is not for me, and you have seen that, you have to have seen that all along. I know that sooner or later my mind will go again, and if I have all this power, then there will only be disaster in my future, disaster in everyone’s future. I don’t wish to hurt anyone anymore. I meant it when I asked you to do it when we were in Pensacola and I have wanted it ever since. I required you to take me before you took Adella, but after all I had put you through, I did not have the heart to ask.”
“LIES!”
“You are hurting me right now, Sakara.” I know it was a very selfish thing to say, but it was the truth and she knew it, I could tell by what I saw in her eyes. I should have never tried the guilt trip. I was desperate to change her mind, and I knew of nothing else to say that would make any type of difference.
She kissed me on my lips, “I love you, Lelio Froste, but this is not what I should be.”
“You do know that I love you, do you not?” Blood tears were streaming down my face as I heard her ask that question. I didn’t want this, but it was staring me in the eye.
(Her kiss was more passionate than ever before. “Make love to me, Lelio,” her smile was now a sensuous grin. I looked into her eyes and say my dreams of the past few years coming true.)
“I have always known this; it was just that I sometimes chose not to see it.” I felt my soul was about to shrivel and fall from my heart as I sighed my response.
(In that moment, the entire world disappeared, only the kiss existed. It was only this kiss that mattered, the past, present, and possible futures melted into the kiss, which suddenly defined our souls.)
“I don’t want to go on without you, Sakara,” I was lost in a sea of hopeless despair, and once again, the tears building were for my first love.
(Sakara never seemed to move from that chair, she just appeared lying on top of me, running her fingers through my hair, which I had always loved her to do and missed so very much.)
“YOU SON OF A BITCH, DON’T YOU DO IT. YOU CAN’T DO IT, IGNORE WHAT SHE IS ASKING OF YOU!” Catrina’s voice came into my head.
Not the scent of slight scent of death that one carries throughout his immortality as a vampire, but the scent that she had always had, the scent of her skin, her hair, scents that I had always associated with her. The wind had seemed to carry that scent directly to me and I followed it here to her and now I was in the midst of it all.
“I love you, Sakara,” I paused to kiss her neck, “you are my eternity, we are finally one.”
Sakara pulled a lock of her hair from her head, pulled the glove off of my dangerous hand, and tied it around the pinkie finger of my right hand, surprised to say the least that it did not burn away due to my small fiery affliction.
She smiled and looked into my eyes as she put her powerful hand on the back of my neck and pulled me down to her and led me to her soft neck. I pressed my lips against her neck in a kiss. I could see the gooseflesh rise before I let my fangs pierce her neck.
(In that moment, the entire world disappeared, only the vampire kiss existed. It was only this kiss that mattered, the past, present, and possible futures melted into the kiss, which suddenly defined my soul.)
