Chapter 3
He didn't like coffins, not really, he preferred the bed like most normal people, but he wasn't normal and was expected to 'sleep' in a coffin.
He lay there, on the red velvet thinking, "What am I doing?"
Coffins were so…Dracula.
Kai sat up and looked around, the other two coffins were closed shut, Tala and Bryan as 'asleep', Kai got up and wondered whether it was even a good idea coming here at all, to Tokyo.
Kai looked around, total darkness, the stainless glass windows were covered in a thick black material while the room had no light at all, Kai saw a stray ray of sunlight, he placed his pale hand in the sun and hissed as he felt it burn his skin he withdrew and watched it heal.
Walking to the small table Kai saw a what would look to a human is a bottle of red wine but he knew that it was really a bottle of blood, he took a wine glass from the cabinet next to it and poured a small portion and sniffed it, swishing it in the glass he watched the red liquid with expertise.
You don't get to a vampire for as long has he has without knowing something about blood.
Kai walked around the stone room, he knew he couldn't go up into the body of the church he had to stay here until sunset.
Kai sipped the red liquid and wished he could be a normal vampire, if that was possible?
Maybe a vampire that wasn't so rebellious is normal, or a vampire that doesn't take pity on his victims or maybe a vampire that doesn't fall in love…
That latter struck a cord and he placed the glass down on the table still half full.
He bent down at his trunk, Tala and Bryan's trunks were somewhere filled with their belongings.
Kai unlatched it and opened it; he came face to face with clothes, he lifted the up and placed them neatly on the floor and saw two shoes boxed, he took one out and opened it, photo's black and white some in colour stared at him.
They were his memories of his old life, the one before this, he looked through them carefully and lifted one up, and it was black and white and was a picture of him and a young woman.
She was laughing and holding onto his hands, her long brunette hair was flying in the wind, it was one of the only times he had gotten her to keep it loose.
Kai felt tears in his eyes and he wiped them away, vampires weren't supposed to cry, that was a human thing, he closed the box and placed it back and opened the next one, letters tired together with string, letters that were fading from time.
Kai placed his things back when he saw a small silver box, he took it out and opened it, a necklace it was hers he had given it too her.
He shut it and sat his hand reaching for his glass but instead grabbing the bottle; he drank and sat his back against the cold stone wall.
And it was there he fell asleep.
Hilary was cleaning her apartment; it was an annual thing to do after a big event and what had happened last night seemed to be big enough events.
She was on her knees cleaning her table, Max had left something sticky there one day and now she couldn't get the sticky stuff off.
The coffee table was a gift from her aunt in Hong Kong and she was one of the only relatives of Hilary's.
Hilary sat up and looked around, this apartment had been her parents, they had rented it when she was born, now it was hers.
Her parents had died in a car crash a few years ago and left her everything, she could actually only tap into the money and so on when she turned eighteen but Mr Dickinson, and her guardian had allowed her to use an allowance of the money any way she liked.
Hilary began to scrub the mark again and sighed, this was tedious work, work which she should be making Max doing since he left whatever it was here and now made this part of the table sticky.
Her cellphone began ringing and Hilary answered not checking who was calling, hoping that it was Kai.
Their conversation had been the best thing that had happened to her in a long time, he was interesting and a little odd, and he spoke in a way that was old fashioned and had the most magnificent godlike voice.
"Hey Hil is Mariah"
Hilary smiled, her pink haired friend had been one of her only girl friends and now she was talking to her, Hilary only wondered whether it might be such a good idea to tell her about Kai?
"Hey Mariah, what's up"
"Not much, just wondering why Tyson came and interrupted me and Ray last night"
"Its nothing, we just had a bit of an argument"
Hilary heard Mariah sigh at the other end.
"What did he do?"
"He stood me up at lunch"
Mariah gave a squeak and suddenly went on cursing Tyson for doing that to her self-confident, loyal friend.
"But it's the first time he'd ever done that so I shouldn't be so angry with him" Hilary defended her boyfriend automatically.
"Hilary, Tyson probably didn't even call you did he"
"No he didn't, he said his grandpa had fallen over the stairs or something"
"But that's not possible"
Hilary frowned, "What do you mean?"
"I saw Tyson's grandpa at the kendo competition; Lee and Kevin were in it"
Lee and Kevin, Mariah's family, Lee her older brother and Kevin a cousin, but the shock that Mariah had seen Tyson's grandpa at a kendo competition only meant two things, Tyson was lying, or his grandpa had fallen later on.
"I'll talk to him ok, don't worry about it" said Hilary
Mariah sounded exasperated at this, "Just remember he's your boyfriend and no one can take him away. And if you need to talk, I'm always here ok?"
Hilary smiled, "Alright, seeya Mariah"
"Bye Hil"
And the dial tone rang in Hilary's ears.
Hilary dialed Tyson's number and came to his voicemail; she left a message and phoned his home number.
"Hello?" it was Heero.
"Hey its Hil, is Tyson there?"
"Nope, he's gone to the arcade with Max"
"Ok, thanks"
"Should I tell him you called?"
"No it's ok"
Hilary hung up and called Max's cellphone only to get voicemail as well, what was going on?
Finally switching her phone off Hilary placed it down on the floor and began to scrub viscously once again, tears welling up in her eyes at the worst case scenario ran through her mind.
Tyson, Max and Ray both were tired.
"We've been through this a hundred times, let the Elders take care of their own kind" grumbled Tyson.
He sat on a chair his feet sitting on the table crossed over each other, his arms folded.
"I believe Tyson's right on this one mom, we can't get them unless they hunt on human turf" said Max playing with a stress ball.
Judy Tate was Max's mother, her blond bob bounced as she nodded at what they were saying; she looked over at the team and sighed.
"Just watch the news ok, anything seem out of the ordinary and you call, and please go to the parties in pairs"
Tyson rolled this eyes, he hated these kind of meetings, Mr Dickinson wouldn't be telling them all this.
"Do you all understand?"
All nodded.
"Good, then go be off with you"
They all left the basement of the building that was their Headquarters and left to the open streets.
"You still trying to get Hilary to forgive you?" asked Max slapping his friend on the back.
"Yeah, she's really angry" Tyson said checking his messages.
"I'd be too" said Ray
Ray checked the time and nodded grinning, "I'll see you later"
"Hey where are you going?" asked Max
"Taking Mariah to the Fair tonight, and I'm in desperate need of a shower"
Tyson sniffed his own shirt and grimaced, "yeah me too"
They three separated on their own ways.
It was around evening when Kai felt the sun go down into the nearing clouds of a storm; he shifted and looked up at his surroundings.
He rubbed his eyes and stretched.
He looked at his cellphone and gave a smug smile as he saw Hilary had left a message, he felt shaken and suddenly cold as he looked around.
He read over it and replied, his fingers racing over the keypad.
He pocketed the cellphone and changed his clothes, well if he was going to be going out then he was in need of a new outfit.
Rummaging in his trunk once more Kai pulled out his old white scarf and pressed the silk against his face, it still smelt just like her, he smiled and gave a laugh, what a strange feeling of déjà vu had washed over him.
The day was beginning to end but Hilary had the feeling it was just beginning, she wished she had Mariah here to help her change.
The kitten sat watching her as he watched her throw clothes all over the room, choosing the right outfit.
Her cellphone beeped and Hilary dived for it, knowing that it was Kai.
"Meet u there at 9"
Hilary smiled.
It was six now but she still felt it had to be perfect, she had to get everything right, no detail could be out of place, not now.
Later at 8:30
Tala and Bryan were in trouble, Kai was missing.
They needed to get him to go to the summons and he was missing, this was not good, not good at all.
Tala opened Kai's trunk and saw that his scarf was missing and he cursed, he knew this was going to happen.
"What's wrong?" asked Bryan.
"Kai's found himself another Elizabeth"
Bryan gritted his teeth, "Shit"
Tala nodded and checked the time, "We don't have time for this, you go and stall Voltaire, and I'll got find Romeo"
Bryan nodded and left, leaving Tala alone.
Tala closed the trunk shut and stood staring at the empty bottle lying on the floor, "Damn you to hell and back Kai"
Cliffhanger?? I'm not sure, but anyway, hope you liked it, the chapter was going to be longer, much longer but I decided to split it.
