Chapter 4: First Encounter
…
Where am I? It's so soft and warm. Like home in Canada… Did that really happen last night or was I dreaming of it all?
…
I open my eyes slowly to see out my window. There covered by the blinds, as if someone shut them poorly. I shift and feel a limb lying on top of my waist. I roll over to see Arthur's emerald green eyes staring at me. I scream and fall off of my bed.
He sighs and looks down at me, "How the bloody hell are you the one who sealed my powers," he puts his hand in front on his face and shakes his head.
'So it wasn't a dream… oh shit…' I glance at my left arm to see it's covered in gauze.
"Don't want anyone seeing that, love," Arthur sneers and smirks at me as he lies on my bed, hand under his chin, propping himself up, "If they do, they're sure to burn you at the stake."
"I hope you know where not in the 1600's anymore," I spat at him.
"Oh, did someone wake up on the wrong side of the bed? Cause I feel great," he says laughing.
"Shut up and go make some tea or something," I say as I get up from the floor.
"Who's going to make me?" he yells mockingly.
"Me. If you don't, I'll burn that cross that holds your powers that's tied around your neck."
He grabs the cross with his hand and glares at me. He scoffs, "Fine, your majesty," and he gets up to walk to the kitchen.
"Better not poison it," I yell to him.
"Wouldn't dream of it," he yells back with a dry and sarcastic tone.
I walk over to my closet and pull out a white dress shirt with a black vest and some black skinny-jeans and throw them on the bed. 'Arthur can wear those," I think to myself as I rummage through my clothes again. I pull out a red tee shirt and some white jeans. I slide my bloodstained work shirt off and toss it to the floor and my pants follow suit. Soon I'm only in my maple boxers and I grab my shirt and slip my arms in till I hear a small muffled chuckle. I turn to see Arthur with a tray of tea and cookies, laughing. I blush hard and quickly slide my head through the hole of my shirt and quickly shimmy into my pants.
"Your tea is done, wanker," Arthur snickers while walking over to my bed and placing the tray down upon it.
"Fine," I sigh, shutting my eyes tightly in embarrassment and point to the clothes on my bed, "You can wear those for now. I'll buy you more while we're out, okay?"
He looks at the clothes, then at his tattered ones. (Well he's somewhat shirtless) He sighs and walks over to them and snatches them off the bed and starts to strip from his rags of clothes.
I look over at him to see his chest still somewhat torn by the bullets I pulled out from the night before. It looks like its already mostly healed and like a scar. I go to sit by the tray of tea and cookies.
"W-who shot you?" I ask silently.
He looks at me as he buttons up the dress shirt and snorts looking away. "Another vampire named Ivan. He claims I was on Night Children's territory," Arthur scoffs.
"Night Children?" I ask confused.
"That's what he calls his clan. See, vampires live in groups called clans. Normally they find an area that the sun never shines and make it there home and claim the surrounding area there territory and feast on the people who live there," Arthur snarls as he slips on the vest and quickly buttons it up.
"Oh, so you live in a clan too?" I ask, taking a sip of my tea, which isn't that bad.
"Yes I do," Arthur says as he smirks, but it fades as he tries to pull up the skinny jeans, "What the FUCK! These are extremely fucking tight!" but he gets them up and buttons them, sighing in annoyance, "Anyways, yes I do. I live in Night Children's clan rival, the Red Lions."
"Are they going to be looking for you?" I ask, fully interested.
"Hm~ Oh ya, but they won't start looking for another three days. They think I'm on a hunt, and hunting can sometimes take up to three days to do," He snorts, "And those gits have no since of direction. They can barely get back to the cave without getting lost," he sighs in annoyance.
"You live in a cave?" I say wondering if I'm asking way too many questions.
"Yes, on the very west side of London. Kind of on the outskirts," he replies as he walks over to me and sits next to me, taking his cup of tea and taking a long drink. "It's been awhile since I've had tea," he chuckles and smirks, "I still got it in me."
I nod and take a sip of my own tea. "It's good."
"Well, now that I've told you a bit about me, what about you," he says as he looks at me, "You seem to be new here."
I look at him then sigh, "I was transferred here from Canada by my job as a blood nurse. There's a blood shortage here is what my boss said and I was shipped here immediately."
He looks away when I say 'blood shortage' and sighs heavily muttering, "No, that can't happen."
"What?"
"They're- Wait. Do you hear that?" he whispers. I strain my ears to hear what he is talking about. Then his eyes grow wide. He grabs me and pulls me to the ground with him whispering loudly, "Get down!"
We wait on the ground for a few seconds, him holding onto me—as if he's protecting me—waiting silently. I hear scratching sounds. SCRATCHHH, SCRATCHHHH... I grab my ears at the wailing sounding over and over again, getting louder and louder each time.
Then I hear a bang. Arthur lies on top of me, protecting me from the rubble that flies into the room.
"Do you think that exorcist is here?" asks a Spanish accented voice.
"Stop touching me and yes he's supposed to be here, can't you smell his sent?" yells an Italian accented voice.
"No really, since you broke my nose the last time I-,"
"We don't talk about that!"
I here steps coming closer.
"Here," whispers Arthur as he rips off the cross necklace and hands it to me.
"What am I supposed to do with this?" I ask softly.
"Release my powers and we can make it out of this alive," he whispers back, "They're Night Children and they'll show no mercy, and they seem to be looking for you."
I look at him then the cross, "But I don't know how!"
"Do the same thing as last time!" he whispers loudly as the steps get closer. He snorts in annoyance and claws off my bandages on my left arm, revealing my arm with black characters spiraling up my arm and the black exorcist star. He grabs my arm and places my hand on his chest over his beating heart, holding in there. "Now shout, 'Come forth demonic power'."
I look at him worried but become confidant. 'I am not going to die,' I think to myself.
I breathing in at shout, "Come forth demonic power!" My arm starts to glow purple and I feel a shock go through it. It feels like it's being singed by the fires of hell.
I look at Arthur, who is laughing like a mad man. He looks up at me, eyes red and his mouth smirked, laughing. His canine teeth grow and sharpen, his nails turning into dagger-like claws, and his skin pales. I no longer can feel his heart beat and he starts to turn cold. He grabs my hand and shoots up, taking me with him.
I see two vampires in front of a gaping hole in the wall, both with brown-ish hair and around the same height except one is a little taller.
"There you are, trngynt hrtynj," sneers the taller of the two.
"What did he say?" I ask Arthur.
"He said, 'Heavenly Exorcist' in Vulgarnesta," he whispers to me then smirks. "He's my prey Antonio; sorry you're as slow as ever."
"He looks more like your bitch from this angle," Antonio laughs. "Sorry but we're going to have to take your 'presa' from you."
"Over my dead body!" Arthur yells. I look over at him and almost hurl in my mouth. The back of his clothes rip as two scaly wings emerge from his back. He shakes them a bit—as if he's stretching them from a long slumber—and he twirls me into his chest and flaps the black wings. We float off the ground and shoot out the hole in the wall, passing Antonio and the other vampire.
I look back at them to see them releasing their wings and shoot after us…
