Hi everyone. Please remember that English is not my native language, so probably you will find many bad translations. Be kind about that. :)
This story is not complete, I have a few ideas but I will development them chapter by chapter and at this time I do not know the end. It will be a surprise for you and for me.
CHAPTER 1
CPOV
'' Hide the wooden stake inside the jacket ...''- I listen.
I was in the bathroom to rectify the makeup and was automatically alerted.
''Wooden Stake''?'- I asked mentally.
The voices sounded through the wall directly from the men bathroom.
I knew immediately what they were talking about. The vampires who were at the party!
For the inauguration of the new convention center in the city all the big businessmen had been invited and it also included the vampire community.
The convention center was located in a restored century-old building due to the effect. Large rooms with high ceilings could be used by businessmen to their meetings and the auditorium on the ground floor could host seminars and lectures of any kind.
I was here representing the company where I work, which was responsible for part of the renovation of the building. The building has a large terrace to the height of a fourth floor, richly decorated with marble statues, rare trees and plants.
For the opening party were distributed some buffet tables and some white couches ''chaise-long'' type so the guests can mingle with comfort.
Employees dressed in black suit, shirt and tie circulated with trays distributing sparkling champagne.
It was a formal attire party. The men wore black suit and tie with white shirt and women long gowns by well known designers.
I chose a one loop red dress, just to the body, with a ''chiffon'' tail swaying as I moved. The night was cold but the women have the ability to withstand low temperatures since we are beautiful and sexy!
I arrived early to the party. I met several colleagues and went to circulate, greeting acquaintances, when I saw them enter.
Ahead was the tall blond.
He has extremely bright blue eyes and hair caught in a pony-tail.
I realized that they were vampires, I already recognize when I see them. Very pale and very still eyes.
Unlike humans, vampires always seem to ignore everything around them.
The blonde was gorgeous and was wearing a very light suit and a water green tie that contrasted with how the other men wear at the party. Behind him was a female vampire, platinum blonde and very sexy. She wore a tight-fitting pink dress that showed each one of its curves and her hair caught high on the head. Finally accompanied them another vampire, shorter than the woman, dark brown eyes and hair full of gel. He was all in black like the employees. Seemed the most bored of the three!
Not prevent a ''Wow'' when I saw the blonde.
My friend Andrew, with whom I was speaking at this moment let go a laugh.
- Catherine, you too?
- I'm also what, Andrew?
- Also have you become a vampire fan?
Neither fan nor anything. - I thought. Never met any so I cannot have an opinion.
- The blonde is the most beautiful man I've ever seen - I said
- Cat, he is not a man is a vampire!
- Whatever! - I told him laughing
I look at them some more time. The other guests were slowly approaching the trio. They greeted them and they responded with a slight nod.
The reverence that humans rendered them make me realized that they should be well known in the national business.
He knew that some vampires were businessmen and employing others.
Others no one knew how to they live but all of them seemed to have money. Who has eternal life, probably arrange means to acquire wealth?
- You know who he is? - I asked Andrew
- Cat!
- What? I'm just curious! You know or not?
- The blonde - said Andrew - is Eric Northman, and reportedly, one of the oldest and most feared vampires too. I know he is an entrepreneur and has a bar called Fangtasia, but I do not think that is it his only source of income. At least I've seen my boss answer his e-mails and some your boss was also one of the receivers.
I had heard of Fangtasia before but I have not the slightest idea what business would he speak to ours respective bosses.
- Really?
- Yes, I do not know what kinds of business are between them but as we see here all the businessmen in the room are paying homage to him. This is not just for owning a bar!
- And the other two?
- I do not know. The female blonde I have seen in Fangtasia... - And suddenly he became silent.
- Andrew! So who is it a vampire fan? – I Said between laughs
- Come on! A man has to have fun and one night I went to Fangtasia with friends!
- Yes, yes!
I accepted another glass of champagne and decided to go to the bathroom and when I heard the voice from the other side of the wall it caught my attention. I tried to listen better.
The voices echoed and only noticed a few words. ''Silver'',''stake'',''blonde.''
Without thinking, I went out of the bathroom and half opened a crack for the men's bathhouse.
I could only see one of the occupants and noticed that he spoke with at least two other voices.
He was dressed like an employee going around with trays of glasses and had a sharp wooden stake in one hand.
I immediately realize what that meant.
Those men were preparing to attack Eric and his delegation.
Instantly I took the phone from my purse and called the police while I ran.
The call was answered before I could cross the glass doors that gave access to the terrace and I quickly explained what was about to happen.
I slowed down when the police woman who answered the phone seemed to me a little indecisive about what to do on an attack on vampires.
There was no time to get into debates about the rights of vampires and I ignored his brief silence to my complaint. I was almost near them when I shut the phone and I proceeded to run.
Immediately lethal six eyes settled on me and I did not think:
- You are in danger! – I screamed and had no opportunity to realize what happened next.
In what seemed like just a second the blonde female grabbed me by my arm and I heard the sound of my bones popping. The pain was excruciating and I fall to my knees getting my arm stuck in the tenacious cool hand of the vampire.
I lacked the air and tried with all my strength not to faint with the pain. Without knowing how, I ignored the pain I felt, the air burning in my lungs and lifted my head and looked directly into the Eric's eyes.
He looked at me like someone who looks at an ant before smashing just for the fun to annihilate a meaningless life and I do not know how I said it, calmly now, and in considerably lower tone:
- There are some men in the bathroom ... - I stopped to breathe - ... They are armed with stakes ... ... ... dressed in black. - And my strength end.
I was sweating even with the cold of the night.
It seemed that everything was unfolding at an incredible speed that does not allow me to see properly.
The female vampire was no longer crushing my arm bones, I heard the police sirens arriving, and at least two men dressed in black were now lying on the ground, unconscious.
One had a metal chain in one hand that I thought should be made of silver.
The brown hair vampire had a wooden stake in one hand.
The three of them had fangs fully extended and seemed to growl to the inanimate bodies.
Hot hands helped to lift me off the ground. It was Andrew. He spoke to me and I could not hear. My ears hissed!
I breathed deeply several times to try to calm my heartbeat that seemed like it was a thousand per minute.
My left arm seemed dead from the elbow down and had a strange form. I managed to balance myself alone.
The party was transformed into a huge uproar. Humans looked incredulous, the police come, Andrew insisted with me if I was okay and the three vampires were very still, like statues in guard of their prisoners.
- I'm fine... - I could finally say
- I'll call a doctor!
The arm was hurting like hell and I just thought of leaving to seek medical attention.
Without hesitation I tried to exit without saying anything to anyone.
I left the building and made a sign to a taxi that stopped next to me.
- For the near hospital please – I said
when the taxi pulled away, I looked up toward the terrace. Under a white light that illuminated the party I saw a tall figure dressed in light color looking in my direction.
