I'm sorry my readers! I've been busy with finals, but now that they're out of the way, I can write again!
Now... back to the story!
Roderich was not expecting a sudden lunge, oh no. However, something like a sixth sense twitched, and the rumbling of the car engine became a rather unpleasant noise. It sounded like sharp nails scratching at a chalk board, and this noise made Erzsebet whimper and cover her ears. The noise soon ended, but now, the Hungarian was crying.
A hand gently stroked her arm, a voice telling her that things would be fine and that he overreacted. She perked up, giving him a scowl. "Was it you who made the noise?" She asked, glaring into Roderich's soul. He couldn't fight the glare lest he die, so he gave a guilty whimper and a nod. "I also changed the music at the bar. I found the music a bit obnoxious." He said, saying them like it was a very fast-paced violin melody. Her eyes widened with surprise. "You can manipulate noise?" "J-ja..." He said.
So the great local pianist prodigy Roderich Edelstein manipulated noises to make music? Interesing. Erzsebet soon started to get a little jealous, as she didn't possess that power despite having other features that would help her hunt for blood. Noise manipulation would be perfect, as she could surprise her victims and feed a lot faster. "So tell me," She asked in a curious, but teasing voice, "When did you gain the power to manipulate noise?"
The Austrian gave a smug smile as he drove out of the bar parking lot, purple eyes glowing with pride. "I was born with it actually." He replied in a charming voice. "I didn't know I was born with it until I was in my teenage years." A vampire's powers were normally gained based on the vampire's personality when they were human, so Erzsebet was quite a handful."Did it take you a long time to master this power?" She asked, curious if Roderich could master his power a lot faster than she could. "Nein." He said. "If you're curious about me and my noise manipulation, you're certainly free to see for yourself."
This was a offer of a lifetime! If Roderich had other abilities than simply manipulating noise, then Erzsebet would have to see for herself. Maybe he wouldn't be a vampire, but she could try to make peace with him. But she did feel something wrap around her seat and slink towards her rear...
Anyways, Roderich did not risk wanting to disappoint his vampire acquaintance, so he pulled over at a hotel. "Be sure not to bite me if we get... turned on." He said, noting her fangs. It was as if he knew that she was a vampire. She nodded, and followed him inside. Despite his normal budget, Roderich wasn't afraid to spend a few extra dollars to help someone. Erzsebet followed him, noticing a weird shadow near him, almost like wings. She got a little suspicious, but nevertheless trusted him.
He pulled out his wallet, booking a room for just him and her. His plan was to spend the night showing off what they were capable of. After the reservation was confirmed, Roderich offered a hand to Erzsebet to lead her to the room. She was hesitant, but soon held his hand as they walked over.
The hotel room was a bit shabby in her opinion, but it wasn't like the motels in the poor areas of town. Erzsebet dragged Roderich to a mirror, giggling to see how he would react. He was on the mirror, but she wasn't! "You're pretty mischievous for a vampire." He said, taking off his jacket. She turned around to give him privacy, but then...
She noticed a strange shadow, two actually? Her eyes widened in surprise, and she asked, "Oh? What are these?" "They're my wings Erzsebet." He said, giving a calm smile as golden wings started to shimmer to life. She jumped back, giving a small hiss. Apparently she almost drank the blood of an angel. "So you're an angel...?" She asked, voice mixed with disappointment and anger.
His expression was calm, his wings ending their celestial shine. "No my dear. If I was an angel, then I would have been cast down from Heaven in a heartbeat. Touch them and see for yourself." She calmed for a second, but she cautiously approached him and felt his wings, noticing that it felt like a fancy feather boa. When she pulled off a feather, it gave a ghastly glow and quickly burned away...
