Jesse turns back to the elder and headman. "You failed in your duty towards your village. You violated or had violated your own people. You have no idea what would have happened to the sacrifice and so you made your own females suffer. Yet, you were more than willing to allow a nine year old child take the place of a proper sacrifice. Neither of you are fit to rule your people. 

"Headman, I have no doubt that you were aware of the elders plan with the females and even encouraged it by having your son do his best in seducing the females. He certainly has no idea of the restraints a male should have over himself until marriage."

The headman sneers at the vampire before him, losing all fear of talking back to one of the monsters. "Oh, please, you are a hypocrite of the highest order. You are not married and I'm sure that you have taken many females, both from seducing and by force."

Jesse nods his head, "You are both right and wrong, but there is a huge difference between us."

A distinct sneers is heard in the voice of the leader, "Oh, and what is that?"

Jesse casually slaps the insolent human and it sends the man to the ground. He leans over the downed human, "I am the one that set the rules to protect you and your people. You are the one to make sure that those rules are obeyed. I've been ensuring the safety of you and the other humans around the forest for centuries. Centuries, human, do you have any concept of just what it means to live such a long time? No? Well let me tell you, females die rather quickly in comparison. I don't marry because they wouldn't live. I've had vampire lovers but female vampires don't like to settle down. They get itchy feet after a few decades. I've turned a few females and let them leave once they decided they wished to explore the world.

"I have never in all my life been with a female against her will." Jesse smirks at the astounded male, "Santo is the one that likes to seduce his lovers and they love being seduced. They have never complained afterwards and like to have a repeat performance as often as Santo is willing to give it.

"Enough," Jesse says and turns to the cowering parents of the bride.

Jesse smiles at them nastily. "You say that you have but one child. The one that stands behind you now. How proud you are of the whore. Yet the one child that should bring you pride is the one that you beat and starved, you sold her to take the whore's place and left her to die. You should be proud of her because of her many of this village, including that whore you are proud of, will be allowed to live. The other villages will be left to live without repercussions for what your village did or rather didn't do.

"But, unfortunately for you two," Jesse smiles darkly as well as the other vampires, "you will not be." Jesse turns to Carlo, "You know what I wish done with them both. Take them aside and hold them until I finish."

Carlo smiles happily as he grabs both humans in his tight grip that allows no escape. Jesse hears a bone snap as the female tries to break free of Carlo's grip. Her scream of agony brings a happier smile to his face. Santo and Desanto come up to him smiling brightly as they move towards the now cowering married couple.

"Tell me, was this female a virgin?" Jesse demands of the groom.

The groom shrugs, "No, she wasn't, but I knew that before I was with her. My friend was with her before me and told me how good of a fuck she was."

Carlo rolls his eyes at the crude reasoning the groom has for having been with the whore.

"Then how do you know that the child she is with is yours?" Jesse doesn't wait and turns to the whore. "You owe your life to your sister that you don't even like. Both of you owe your lives to her."

The bride looks at Jesse in shock. "What do you mean?"

"Your sister asked that you not be killed. She asked for mercy for this village and the others. She took your place and you won't even acknowledge her existence or that you ever had a sister. You don't deserve her. But then since your family disowned her, I guess you don't have her, do you?"

Jesse looks to her husband and gets a sly look in his eye, "How long do you think your husband will remain faithful to you?"

The girl is incensed, "He will remain faithful to me! He married me. We've been together for six months and he's been faithful to me all that time."

Carlo and Desanto snicker at this. Jesse looks at them and raises an eyebrow in question at them. Carlo gets himself under control. "At least two of the females in the unmarried group are pregnant with his child."

The groom goes white at this information and the bride looks at him in shock. "Tell me that they are lying?" Desanto grabs Santo and leaves.

Desanto and Santo come up with the two females in question. The groom looks sick as he sees the females he's been cheating on Leslie with.

"I can't deny I was with them. I can deny them being pregnant." The groom gets out weakly.

Leslie, the bride turns on her husband in fury. "How could you?"

"Hey, it wasn't my idea to marry you. That was all on you and my father. I have no more desire to be married to you than I wish to be married to any of the others. The only reason I am with you is because you were smart enough to get my father involved before telling me that you were expecting." The groom shrugs telling the female he promised to be with until death how he truly felt. "You just wanted the prestige of my family's position. You truly are a whore."

The four vampires are more than a little entertained by this show. But enough is enough. "Take them with the others waiting to be taken." Carlo and Desanto each grab hold of the arm of one of the two love birds.

"Alpha, take the ones that have been separated out and escort them to my home, if you would?" Jesse asks pleasantly.

"As you wish Lord Jesse." The alpha smirks as his wolves surround the groups that have been sentenced to slavery and servitude to the vampires and in time to the wolves.

Those that are left watch nervously as Jesse and the other vampires each find a human they have chosen to die. Methodically they go through those sentenced to die until they come to the last five. Santo is given the headman, Desanto takes the wife of the elder, Carlo takes the elder and Jesse takes both parents of Esmeralda. 

Desanto makes the execution of the elder's wife quick and painless. He figures that she had little to no power over her husband's actions. She has the appearance of one beaten down by life and likely her husband.

Carlo isn't so quick with the elder. He plays with him for some time before he neuters him in front of all those remaining before letting him bleed to death.

Santo doesn't even start on the headman until Carlo is finished with the elder. Then he too plays cruelly with the headman. With the cuts that Santo gives the headman he is slowly bleeding out and there is nothing any one can do once Santo is bored with the game and turns his attention to Esmeralda's parents and what Jesse is doing to them.

By the time Jesse is done, they are unrecognizable to even their closest friends. "You've made your younger daughter's life a living hell. You've hurt her in a thousand ways and still she remains a warm and generous person. She begged us to not take her before she knew who we were. She begged for the lives of all the humans including those of this village even though she had been treated so poorly here. They turned on her because of you and her sister turned on her. You starved her, beat her, disowned her and sold her. You are not fit to be parents of such an exceptional child." Jesse smiles cruelly as he gives his death wound and watches as they slowly drain of blood, faces twisted in agony as the bones that Jesse broke fail as they try to move.

After an eternity of their agonized screaming they finally take their last breath and they lie still. Only a growing puddle of blood moves.

Jesse and his brothers smile at the new corpses and turn from them.

"You have several years to learn from your mistakes and the mistakes of your leaders. I would suggest that you take to heart this lesson. Next time we will not just make an example of a few and take others with us. We will kill every one including the infants and children. Make sure you remember that. The sacrifice must be a female virgin of at least sixteen years of age. There is to be no sexual intercourse with any that aren't married."

There is only sounds of crying as the people look at the casual brutality of the vampires. They nod their heads in defeat.

The four brothers turn towards home much happier than they've been in some time.
