"okay let me get this straight, the immortal law in your coven is no killing humans and you need me to kill people for you???" i asked "yes, i know for a fact your the best assasin, i know your new at it, but you just cant get caught its in your families blood." "if we dont get caught then how do you know all this?" "well i have my ways, and my recources, thats also why i knew you wouldnt agree to this if i didnt kidnapp you."
"istill wont agree to this" i said "hate to break it to ya, but theres no way out of this. eihter you can say yes and do whhat i say, or i can just use a little thing called mind controll" he told me and i sighed what choice did i have.
"do i get paid?" i asked "hey i know your brother was rich and all, but i dont have much else but a place to stay" "fine. who do you want me to kill?" i asked "well i should tell you why i need you to kill people for me, there is a coven of vampire slayers down in san rafaeil, but they dont kill the ones in this coven since we dont fight back, but they do take are money, and animals so we have low source of food, and since this coven is starting to get so weak, no ones doing anything." "so you want me to kill the vampire slayer coven, were are they?" "i we have to wait, little groups of them come visit our coven somtimes, but we just have to start subtlely, if they find out, they will kill all of us in seconds." he said "okay...so what do i do now?" "just wait i guess, theres a guest room down the hall and you should probably go to school here, or else they will get suspicious, and dont you dare try to go back home." he said. "oh and by the way, heres the money that was in your pocket, heath tried to steal it from you" he said and i took it and walked down the hall to the guest room.
i was not to pleased about going to school, i hadnt gone since i was about 12, but i guess that was another thing i had no say in. i counted my money and i had about $240, at least i had money in my pockets, and kmy parents always told me that i shouldnt keep more than 40 dollars with me.
i laid down on the white sheets and started to waonder about my brother, i hoped they didnt kill him, despite what my brother made me go through, he was my best friend, its weird because i still hate what he does, but he is just like our parents and its not really his fault, but i do think he might have some mental issues also....
during my thinking, i drifted off into a deep sleep, my dreams were kind of disturbing at first, all i saw was dead bodies, my parents, and the ones that i killed, then i saw me walking through a dark tunnel, when i got furthewr inside it got alittle brighter, soon i was met by many faces ive never met, they were all staring back at me with dark eyes, then they all came at me with stakes and knives, i started running, but someone caught up to me and stabbed me with a wooden stake. i woke up startled by the dream, did i really belive this story? gabe did prove to have inhuman speed and strength also his pale skin and constantly changing eye color, but...yeah i guess i did belive it, the whole thing, wich was extremely stupid, and very odd considering how ive never belived in that kind of stuff. soon i started to relax a bit and before i knew it i was asleep again, and thankfully i didnt have any more dreams, or at least any i could remember.
i woke up abruptly after being covered in ice cold water and i looked up to see gabe staring down at me "time for school" he said and i glared at him as i stood up. "i cant just randomly start at a school, i need to get sighned up an-" gabe interrupted me "notin this town, i can ask them to sign you up and your in so you better be ready in five minutes" and with that gabe walked out leaving me soaked. i tried to shake the water out of my hair and ring it out of my shirt, but it didnt work to well and i was left with messy hair and a wrinkled wet shirt. i walked into the front room were gabe was waiting and i could tell this would be a really crappy day.
me and gabe walked into the halls of terriberry highschool and people were staring at us really oddly like this was some rare siting. gabe followed me to the office knowing that if he talked to them there would be no problem with me attending the school. i got the same scheduale as gabe becuse the princapal thought it would be better to start the day with someone i knew, wich didnt help me in anyway, the less time i spent with the vampire, the better.
Not one person talked to me with the exception of the teachers, actually it seemed like everyone was afraid of me. Gabe didnt show up to any of the classes, i didnt see him until lunch when he rushed up to me. "dagger, there going to come somtime tomorrow" he looked worried and i just said "whos coming tomorrow?" "this is serious, someone mustve seen us when we were taking you and they said somthing" "mabey you shouldnt kidnapp people when other people around." i suggested "do you not get that if they are even slightly suspicious about you being here they will kill you too?" he asked "kay well what do you want me to do about that?" i asked "i have to go, just be careful what you say to people today" he said and walked out of the cafateria. I walked over to the small table in the back by the window and sat alone watching all the other people eating and socializing. I noticed one girl across the room who kept glancing at my table, i couldnt make out if she was in any of my classes or not, she was sitting with two other girls who soon after started glancing over, it seemed like this school had never had a new student before. It seemed like days before school was over, and i did not want to go back, it was alot worse than i remembered. i walked back to gabes house and let myself in, i hadnt ant idea were gabe was and i really didnt care, i just wanted somthing to eat, i hadnt eaten in two days, i scrounged through gabes fridge and found a few bags of chips and sodas, i took out a coke and opened the bag of jualopenio chips and jumped on the couch. i turned on gabes 40" flat screen tv wich was like the only nice thing he even had here. I distrcted myself with the show and decided to make the best of this, but that didnt work out because gabe stormed through the front door clearly not in a good mood. "these fuckin slayers think they can just come and go whenever and take anything they want!!" gabe complained "oh...kay" i said, not sure what i should say to that "they just took the last three hundred from my bank and left, guess we dont have to worry about them snooping around tomorrow but they fuckin piss me off" "i can see that" i said completely not caring about his problems "no you really dont, and you dont know how lucky you are, you stupid humans get off easy." "yah considering the situation you put me in, im not so lucky" i said "yeah well it doesnt matter, anyway i have no money, and did i mention they caused me to lose my job today?" "howd they do that?" i asked not really caring what the answer was "you dont want to know, but im going to need to find another job fast, and heres an idea, why dont you get one too" he suggested. Did this guy want me to pay for him now too? "uh there is no way in hell you can make me get a fucking job" i said "trust me, i have my ways!!!" he warned.
apparently he was telling the truth becuase about an hour later we were searching arround town aplieing for jobs. We applied to a grocerie store, a gas station, and a thriftstore, but this one place hired us the first minute we mentioned needing a job, the owner was a 50 year old lady who claimed to read a and said she got good energy from us, she had ten other applications...
it was only a part time job, after school every day for as many hours as we wanted to be there, it was one of those places that didnt have specific hours, it was just open when it was. gabe worked as the casheir person, they sold mosly books and herbs, inscents, and that kind of stuff, and for some reason i was stuck giving people tarot readings im not sure why but macey, the owner, thought i would be perfect for the job, no training at all, actually when i thought about, it was a pretty good job, i was getting paid to tell people what there future would be according to cards, wich meant i just to pick random ones up. my first day started the next day and i was planning to skip school and just sleep in untill work but of course mr. goddy goody vampire made me go. gabe was purposely trying to make my day a living hell, he showed up to class and kept being really annoying, he would follow me around and wouldnt stop talking for one second and when anyone asked gabe would say innocently "hes my best friend" he was definately doing this on purpose. at lunch he finally left me alone so he could make a phone call, and during his absence, that girl who kept staring walked up to the table i was out. "um hi, im shade" she said "dagger" i said "nice to meet you dagger, i know this sounds weird, but can i ask you a few questions?" "about?" i asked "uhm actually about gabe" "uh-" "hes your friend, rite?" she asked and luckily for me gabe was walking in our direction and when shade noticed she said "uh another time mabey" and walked off.
"im surprised anyone even talked to you" gabe said to me as he came up "why" "well everyone here is afraid of me, and i would think they would stay clear of you too" "ohh" i said wondering why they were afraid of him, but also making sence of why no one would come near me. "the immortal thing isnt really a seceret" he confirmed
after school that day me and gabe walked over to the shop were macey waited for us "okay im laeving now, you take good care of my shop" she winked at me and walked out "kayy well she clearly doesnt like me, she pays you way more money than i get and no one even wants a phsycic reading." gabe complained and i realized he complains wayy too much!!! "yah watever" i said as i searched the room for a book to read. i picked up some random story about a wolf and sat over on the couch. "you cant just read the merchandise" gabe told me "shut the fuck up i can do what i want so just leave me the fuck alone" i said, i was tired of his constant need to annoy me, i wouldnt mind just killing myself at this point, my life was hell before, but then a freaking bludsucker comes along and im left with nothing. "jeeze dagger you have issues" he said to me and i sighed and got back to my reading. i heard the jingles of bells as the door opened and a old dude walked in "im looking for sage leaves, will you direct me to them young man or are you just going to sit there?" he asked me and i looked over at the desk gabe was saposed to be at and realized he was probably in the bathroom. "that isnt my job, GABE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!" I yelled and he walked out of the bathroom "you have a customer" i said "this is terrible customer service, i just need some sage for my daugher and you are not doing your jobs right!!!" "you are an idiot get the fuck out this store if your going to be so pickey about our service" gabe yelled at him ''hey the customer is always right'' i said to gabe whos mood had obviously gone bad ''the sage leaves are right there'' i said pointing to the shelf. ''yah yah" he said as he grabbed the items he needed and brought them over to the counter were gabe stubbornly rung up the price. when the guy walked out gabe said ''you dont have to defend a stupid customer'' ''i dont care'' i said and walked away from his desk. i graabed my stuff and started heading for the door "were are you going?'' ''somewere your not'' i said and exited the store. i decided i didnt care about gabes threats, i was leaving. i took the money i had from my pockets and went to a nearby bustop. i was surprised to find macey there, watching me make my way towards her like she knew i would be there.
