Part Two

Nairobi

It was the next morning, and I was exhausted, me and Dolores. We would have slept the whole day if it weren't for Dolores's father waking us up so early. We really didn't know what to say to each other. We were just happy to be alive.

I lied on my bed most of the morning, thinking about last night. I honestly didn't know what to think. I was mostly angered at myself. I should have realized that strange man was a vampire all along, but still. I've fought many vampires, and rarely lost, but never spared. I knew he would return, most likely this evening. Now that I have rested, I would be able to fight a lot easier than before, but unfortunately so would he. I continued my thought until Dolores entered my room.

"Hey, are you hungry? I'm about to make breakfast." She said. I nodded.

"Alright I'll be right down."

"Oh and Nairobi… thanks for saving me. I never met anyone who could fight a vampire like that before, or live to tell about it."

"It was nothing really" I said. Dolores looked worried. She may be worried about the threat to destroy the inn. I can't blame her; this place is all she and her father have. I, however, have actually forgotten about it. It's not that I don't care, but I was more focused on surviving at the time. That and nearly all the vampires who have faced me made threats similar to his, so I've gotten pretty used to it.

Before I could comfort her, we heard fierce conversation from the first floor. We looked at each other confused and walked downstairs. We saw a whole cluster of people crowding the entire eating area, and Dolores's father speaking to them from behind the counter.

"Dad, what's going on?" She asked him. Everyone turned to us. I had recognized some of them. Most were present last night in the diner. They all looked worried and anxious.

"Well, we all heard that a vampire attacked around here, and that a girl named Nairobi fought him off." Said an elderly woman on my left.

"Yeah, that was me." I said pointing to myself. Everyone looked astonished. I'm not surprise. I don't look like I could do something like that. A woman next to the corner stood up.

"It is not like we aren't grateful, but we fear that your actions might endanger us, especially you. We are certain that who ever the vampire who attacked you was high ranking and powerful. Most of them come from the Rahabim capital where the strongest of them dwell. They only let us live for so long because we never caused any trouble. I can only imagine what will happen now." The man next to her stood with anger.

"Like hell we're grateful! We were living here peacefully until you showed up!"

"When have we been at peace?" Dolores's father said. "We've always lived in fear of them. Nairobi's coming makes no difference."

Everyone looked to the floor heartbroken. I had nothing to say. There was nothing to say. If I didn't fight that vampire, Dolores and I would be dead and others too, but now I feel as if I have doomed everyone. If he was as powerful as everyone thinks, we would have been in trouble no matter what I had done. I thought I could not feel any worse but I was wrong.

"We need to talk." Dolores said. I followed her into the kitchen with my head down. Once we left, the arguing began again between the man and Dolores's dad. When she turned to me, I raised my head to listen.

"You must go." She said. I would have laughed at the thought if I wasn't so cheerless.

"You're joking? I can't just leave. I'll fight who ever comes. I'd rather die alone then everyone dying together.

"This is nothing new, Nairobi. They won't kill us unless we resist them. You are all they want. Despite how barbaric they are, they normally kill those who cause them trouble rather than innocent bystanders. But if you stay, there's no telling what'll happen."

I nodded. I knew she was right; things will only get worse if I stay.

"Alright, let's get you ready then." And so, we headed upstairs, until we heard screams from outside.

"They're here!" Yelled everyone. They became frantic and fearful of what's to come

I grabbed a man's sword and ran outside.

"Nairobi stop!" I heard from behind but I continued.

Outside, it was cloudy and thick fog made it even harder to see. However, I could see a girl running from the village entrance, where two vampires slowly followed. When I approached them, they sneered at me.

"What do you plan to do with that child?" One said. The other just laughed. I raised the blade and attacked with all my might.

Rahab

I stood in front of my window in my study. I felt empty and confused all at once, not knowing what to do next. That girl remained in my mind. I never thought any human as valuable unless they could be made useful in some way, whether it be service, prey, or dead. This girl shouldn't be any different, but for whatever reason, I could not kill her, but I'm sure my soldiers will have no problems. I doubt she'll survive, but if she does, she'll make a worthy soldier or an apprentice for one. Humans with actual talent and potential don't appear so often.

Regardless, that inn has been a bothersome eyesore ever since I allowed its existence, but now, I think it's time that it was demolished. From my door, I heard Andrius, one of my highest ranking generals enter. I turned to meet him.

"Excuse me sire, but I have news of the order to destroy the inn. There was a minor inconvenience however, but the mission was successful. We gained a few slaves as well" He said.

"Inconvenience?"

"Well, some of my men were injured by a mortal girl. We are now in pursuit of the fugitive.

"Bring her here alive; I want her here by tomorrow night."

"Of course, by the way sir, forgive me, I forgot to mention that their majesties, Lord Raziel and Lord Turel have requested to stay in your domain until the incoming storm passes." He said. I had predicted a storm would come, a big one at that.

Raziel had visited me on occasion but this would be the first in a while that Turel has come here. I won't be looking to forward to that. He isn't the most pleasant person to be in the same room with.

"And also sire, Lady Sonata has asked for the same of you. She didn't say why but I imagine it's also because of the storm." He said. I silently growled to myself at the thought of that woman coming here.

"Very well, have servants alert me of their arrival. Now hurry with my demands."

"Yes." He departed and I walked back to the window, now more troubled than ever.

The Zephonim vampiress, Lady Sonata, the dirtiest, deceitful person you'll ever meet. She proclaims herself the greatest woman warrior, while others the greatest slut. She's either on the battle field or in a man's bed. I swear she's slept with every man in Nosgoth by now, all but we lords. Although, Zephon may be an exception. I've always hated her company, but she's done much for the military forces for Zephon and Melchiah. She'll have to be tolerated I guess.

Outside was severely cloudy; the storm was approaching fast, but just on the edge of the horizon, smoke lifted into the sky. So…the girl survived the encounter. Perhaps, there's more to her than I have yet to see.

Nairobi

They took her. They took Dee Dee and dozens of other people. After I fought the first two vampires, about twenty more came and took as many as they could with them and burned the inn to the ground. I could not stop them. They chased me out before I could. Now I return to the village to see so many gone and most of the buildings destroyed. The inn was no more; only Dolores's father kneeled before its ruins. I went over to see him holding a sword.

"Before, this inn used to be a place for blacksmiths, where the finest swords and weaponry were made. When my father was a boy, the vampires' orders were to destroy it, but my grandfather and the men of the village thought to change it into an inn, and the vampires allowed it. This sword was the last one my grandfather made. I had liked to have given it to a son or grandson, but….I want you to have it." He turned to me and handed it to me.

"I want you to use it to bring her back to me. She is all I have now. You are the only one who can." He kneeled to me while holding the blade over him. I took up the sword and nodded.

"I will do my best sir. Please wish me luck."

"I want to help you." I turned to see the elderly woman from before holding black clothing material. "You can't go without a disguise."

"Thank you." Then, the three of us went into the woman's home, one of the few remaining buildings standing.

Well i hope it was okay. I'll try to update as soon as possible. Leave good and/or bad reviews when feel like it. see ya!!
