The Blood Twins

To begin, Brian De Copplè and Richard De LaCosta, were brought over into the darkness in a dark alleyway in the early part of the 1900's. Davidson had come upon them at the precise moment each had fought one another till they lay bleeding and dying.

Davidson had the opportunity to bring them over together, therefore, he called them the Blood Twins. They were enemies, transferred into blood-brothers. Brian was the repulsive and evil one, while Richard was philisophical, and often too emotional for a vampire. He would have trouble coming to terms with what he was....Brian on the other hand enjoyed it fully. It was just the excuse necessary to justify his already obscure actions.....Richard though, did not want the dark gift bestowed upon him by the worldly Davidson. If given the choice again, I bet he would decline.

Brian and I were the closest first. We were the perfect sibling pair. He felt like my big brother. We learned from one another, liked one another. I enjoyed his company, he enjoyed mine. I think Davidson wanted us all to be a family. I suppose he thought I would be a welcoming addition to their small little group. I must say I added variety. But to fill you in a little more, Brian had become a rock star throughout the 80's and 90's. However rock stars do not live forever and vampires do. So his famous career had to come to the usual tragic end. He had to feign his death in order to protect his secret and our coven. A decision that could prove almost fatal to his vampiric life. He would struggle continually with his own demons, unbeknownst to the rest of the coven.

Richard and I fought constantly in the beginning. We did not agree on alot of things. He felt compassion, at the time I did not. I would mock him for having feelings at all. It was something I found strange. So many nights Richard spent without the company of us devils. Instead, Davidson would give some deep, understanding advice and tell Richard to ignore us. We'd learn soon enough he would say. I think he always knew that was how Richard would be, so with kindness, patience and understanding, he watched Richard make his way through the confusing world in which he lived.

My relationship with Brian changed when he met Gwyneth. It was good for him, because I had drawn the conclusion no woman could love him. Not in any normal way. You would just have to know him. He was beautiful to look at, yet repulsed you immensely with his nasty behavior. And yet once you knew him, it was part of his charm. I never met anyone who could disgust you & yet charm you at the same time. I suppose that is why we made such wonderful vampires. Each of us had a redeeming evil quality that made us wear our new skins well. Gwyn was a hell of a woman to love Brian. {smiles, reflecting on memories} They were the couple of the century. Davidson had never seemed more proud of his little family. I think Richard embarked on a journey not long after that to find himself. Our little group was growing, and so was our hunger for culture and something new.

Brian & I would often sneak out to a club together. Most everyone thought we were a couple, the way we behaved together. But it was like this no-boundary type of love for one another. I could pick out women for him all the time, and enjoyed it. He often did the same for me, it was a game we played together. We were extremely close, he once told me he envied me, for the freedom I had to make the choices I did, & he respected me for that he said. I never felt more proud of myself, for finally having his approval, something I strived for with all men. It felt so good to know he felt that way about me. I was proud of him as well, for I knew it took massive courage just to tell me that. I loved him so much at that moment. Could anynone ever see how much we cared for one another, or the closeness that we could share without it being all sexual, just an honest caring relationship. No one would believe a story like that.

My fondest memories were that of Brian & Richard stumbling in around dawn, searching for conversation before they passed out. I would always obligue them, because hell I loved them. Besides, they knew I always welcomed them & had the place they loved to come to. I always had candles lit & incense burning, and when they arrived I always had music & goodies to offer them. The loved it. We would spend a few hours talking about everythng from religion to politics, all the taboo subjects. And yet, we always came out of it without any arguements. We all respected each others opinions when it came down to it. The bond we shared was a wonderful one & becoming a strong one as well. I loved them both so much, they truly were my brothers.
