UPDATE: I have changed the name of the girl to be more suited for her personality and to anyone who doesn't like that Mary isn't Ash's love interest can get stuffed. I've read plenty of other fan fiction that does the same thing and there's nothing wrong with it. It's the same fandom with a different love interest.
I pulled the hood of my hoodie up over my head to cover my face as I walked through the streets. This was vampire territory. I couldn't take my chances here, couldn't make a single mistake on my mission. One mistake would surely cost me my life. Succeeding would mean getting vital information. I just had to get the right vamp. One that couldn't read my mind and tell that I wasn't a member of the society they called the Night World. I shivered. It was a chilly night so I stuffed my hands in my pockets and trudged down to the bar called Wacky Wallies.
I managed to slip past the bouncer since he was dealing with some trouble-some humans. The club was a Vampire's only club. No humans allowed. These types of clubs were all over the place and humans, being the stupid creatures that we are, always tried to weasel our way in. It almost never worked unless we were with a vampire. The people that were, were traitors to our kind. Socializing with the enemy, it made my stomach churn.
My eyes scanned the crowds of dancing bodies. The faces I saw were unrecognizable. This was good. My little tribe of resisting humans were making quite a reputation among the undead. Ok of course it was also not good at the same time because we had killing machines out there searching for us to take us in to be blood slaves for some royal vampire family. Just the thought of being a blood slave made me want to shoot myself so I wouldn't have to bear the humility.
There was an empty booth near the exit so I took it. I knew my mysterious air would keep most unwanted things away. I hoped. I was hoping my mental shield was strong enough, knowing any vampire would come and strike up a conversation out of curiosity. In my mind, I hoped a non-mind reading vamp would talk.
As the night wore on, nothing happened. Nothing talked to me and no fights broke out. It was disappointing so I decided it was time to slip our and head back to headquarters. A chill swept through my body as the room went quiet. Coincidently, as soon as I stood up. My breath caught in my throat. There was no way they could of recognized me. My hood was covering my face completely.
Two low growls sounded from one side of the room and I knew it wasn't me so I took the chance to face the drama. I recognized a pale faced vampire and a hairy werewolf. Mortal enemies. This could get juicy. I just hoped there wasn't any stupid humans around to jump into the action to stop it because then I would have to jump in and save-
My thoughts were cut short just as, you guessed it, a stupid human stepped in-between the men. I carefully pushed my way though incase I had to quickly jump in. Experienced Night World creature killer, that was me. I lived for a good fight.
"Break it up guys," said the stupid girl.
"Get out of here Amy," growled the one that was probably a werewolf. I could see his muscles tightening and his skin rippling. Oh my god he was going to change right there. Typically, I was too distracted to watch the change what with it trying to rip my throat out and all.
"No, let her stay, she'll make a nice snack for later," the vampire guy smirked. His eyes flickered over towards me. "And so will you." I tried to look nonchalant even though his telling I was human unnerved me a bit.
I weighed my chances of grabbing the girl from the middle of them and making it out alive. My chances were slim to none because of the fact that there was a whole club of vamps behind me waiting to take a bite out of my neck and suck me dry.
There was nothing I could do here so I carefully pushed my way through the crowd to get out as quickly as I could. Getting home was going to be tricky. I knew that any of them vampires could follow me. I stole a glance over my shoulder and saw no one making their way out of the front door so I shed my hoodie and pulled my hair up so they wouldn't easily tell it was me and made my getaway.
My little tribe of resisting humans wasn't all that big, there was about maybe five of us but we were trying to recruit more people to help bring the vampires down. At the beginning, we didn't know each other but we quickly grew fond of each other when we found out we all wanted the same thing. There was Zesty, who's real name is lost in his own memory since he won't tell us, and then there's Paco who doesn't have a nickname, we just call him Paco since he's Mexican. Cherry was a guy, real name Michael but he liked cherries so much his nickname became Cherry. There was another reason he was called Cherry but we'll find that out later. Popper was another and he was second craziest, next to me of course, because he liked things that popped. We all secretly wondered if he was crazy but he got things done so we couldn't complain. Then there was me, Livy. I was basically the one who came up with the idea to start a group of resistance and go into hiding. I was grateful when they were all for it and we were soon just all one big happy family.
You may think that our headquarters was all junky and not very high-tech but it was. It clean, even if five teenagers were running the place. Our headquarters were very high tech and well designed even though it took a little while to get the design down but Popper was a big techie so he could do anything that had to do with technology. He was kind of like the Iggy in our group and by that I mean he could turn anything into a bomb. It was actually kind of scary because he could hide a bomb anywhere on his body.
I glanced around as I walked around the corner that would take me down the alley to our hideout. It was safe so I quickly ran down and knocked on the door. The little peep hole slid open to reveal Cherries ocean blue eyes.
"Password," came his deep voice authoritive voice.
"Come on Cherry you know it's me, let me in."
"You know the rules Livy, you have to give me the password or you can say the secret phrase."
I sighed. "Popper template," I said. The door opened to reveal Cherry's tall lanky body.
"Aw, you should of said the phrase."
"I'm not giving you the satisfaction," I replied as I stalked in. Cherry had a big self esteem that rubbed my side wrong and I hated it. He thought he was such hot stuff. He wasn't of course, but he thought so because he had muscles which were so not that hot.
"Heeeey!" came the chorus of my friends' voices as I walked into our relaxing area. I plopped down onto my bean bag chair that no one else was allowed to use.
"You weren't successful?" Popper asked.
"No, but I almost saw a fight. I got out of there because the vamp knew I was human."
"You weren't followed?"
"No, I made sure."
"Good girl. Shame you didn't get any info though."
"I know, we still have time though. I can go out tomorrow." An idea popped into my head but I didn't like it. "Maybe we should try and get with a vamp, since spying and hoping isn't working. Maybe seduction will." All four heads turned to look at me with owl eyes.
"And get caught and get killed or worse, taken in to be blood slaves? No thank you," Paco said.
"It was just an idea."
"I think you could do it, Livy. You can get out of things, you're smart and you're dead sexy," Cherry said, pulling the hair tie out that held up my pony tail.
"Shut up Cherry."
"It was a compliment darling," he said, popping a cherry into his mouth. "Although I don't think it's a good idea to get close to vampires but you've been at this game longer than any of us."
"You want me to get killed so you can run the place don't you?"
"No! That's the last thing on my mind believe me!"
I couldn't believe the words that came out of my mouth next. "I'll do it." Every ones eyes got even bigger.
"You're crazy," Popper said.
"I know but so are you."
"True."
"You shouldn't do this, Livy," Zesty said, walking in. He wasn't one to say much unless he thought it was important. "You're risking your life just to find out some information."
"Well someone's got to do it."
"No they don't, we just need more time."
"We don't have time Zesty! The humans are basically slaves for the vampires! How long before they take over completely? Someone has to stop them and that requires information. You know they can control your mind right? Well they can and they can make you do whatever you want. That's why I stress you work on shielding your mind."
He narrowed his eyes at me and stalked off down the hall to his room. It wasn't the first time we argued, we did it all the time. I knew he was right though; I shouldn't do it. But I had to. The information we needed was too important.
