Now, on with the chapter!
Chapter 7
The flight had gone by faster than Akiza imagined it would, and the car ride there was a breeze. Maybe her vampire instincts were kicking in now? Whatever the case, she was glad the traveling had gone by quick. Somehow Yusei had managed to escape her thoughts, she was thinking more about Adam. He obviously didn't like Jack and saw him as a threat. She silently laughed at him, he didn't need to worry about Jack, she didn't like him that way anyways. He was just a friend that she was lucky to have at the moment, and speaking of lucky, it was a miracle that Jack had found them before they had left, otherwise he would been left alone at that castle. She was relieved that she hadn't killed him, but still felt guilty about turning him into a vampire and bringing him into this evil lifestyle. He thoughts paused as the car they were in slowed to a stop.
Now they were at the HQ.
The HQ was where the vampire lords lived. They had a large amount of security, thousands of weapons, hundreds of bodyguards and they were filthy rich.
And man, were they beautiful.
These vampires had grown into gorgeous beings, making them lure their prey in easily. They also had vampire parties where they gathered together, just to be beautiful together. It was sick.
Most of the vampire population stayed at the HQ. This one was the HQ for Asia, Europe and Africa. There was one in the United States for the Americas, and one in Australia for that entire area. There was also a small institute in Antarctica for those who preferred penguin blood instead of humans. Some vampires did live on their own, but they were filthy rich and highly trained and able to take care of themselves.
They passed a group of unbelievably gorgeous vampires dressed in very high fashion attire. Akiza leaned over to Jack and whispered, "Do you think we'll end up like them, beautiful and rich?' She looked at him, waiting for an answer but it never came. He just shook his head.
Usually, Akiza and Jack wanted to claw each others eyes out and rip out each others spleens, but given the circumstances, she was lucky to have anyone from her old life with her, so she decided to be nice. As did he apparently.
"I don't think I will, but maybe you." He admitted as he kept walking behind Adam. Akiza froze for a few minutes before following her two companions.
The building was hideous on the outside. It was metal with darkly stained windows. If she didn't know better, it would've looked like a factory to her.
The inside of the building was a whole other story. There was a painted dome in the centre, and the entire inside was made of creamy marble. She was astonished at all the paintings and sculptures these people had collected. They had long, deep red tapestry and rugs that went every which way. It was truly a sight to see, she couldn't believe she'd be staying here.
Adam took the two to the front desk in the main hall, where it was controlled chaos. There were vampires everywhere you looked, it was almost hypnotizing to watch.
Adam talked to the person behind the desk while Jack and Akiza observed the crowds of fellow creatures of the night. After he had gotten them set up in the system, he got them a room to share (which he wasn't a fan of but knew it would help Akiza settle in better) and brought them to it.
The room was a work of art itself. There colour scheme was a collection of blues, including the marble walls themselves. There were two beds adorned in plush comforters and fluffed pillows. Separate dressers and closets for them both and their own bathroom made it perfect for the both of them.
Akiza jumped onto the bed that she designated hers, while Jack just strolled over to the other. Adam left them to get settled and told Akiza he'd be back later to take her out.
Vampires here apparently had lots of freedom to do as they pleased and the HQ was just a place for them to sleep. Her bed was placed right by a window that she gazed out of at the moment. Jack was staring at her, still trying to digest this new life they had both been given.
"What do we do now?" She asked her companion, obviously implying they were in this together now. Her line of sight remained out the window as she spoke to him.
"We make the most of what we have." He replied, hoping it would suffice.
"And how do you suppose we do that. We're monsters now, we're going to hurt people. It's inevitable." She sounded like she had no hope for this new journey. She turned her head away from the window to observe Jacks expression.
"Then we need to find a way to balance it. We can still do some good, we are still signers after all." He raised his arm and pointed to where his birthmark laid.
Akiza gazed down at her own arm and saw her birthmark glow. They were all still bound together.
"Were-wolves." She blurted. Jack's expression twisted into one of confusion, and signalled for her to elaborate. "We can kill were-wolves. They exist, I've seen them before. We can make a difference by killing them so that there's one less monster out there for people to contend with." She regained some of her determination she had lost when she had left… him.
Jack read her hurt expression that had crossed her face when Yusei had entered her mind and was trying to figure out why she looked so sad. "Is something wrong?"
His voice snapped her out of her Yusei trance and returned her to the bedroom she shared with Jack and their conversation. "I'm fine."
Jack wasn't buying it. "Are you sure?"
"Yes! Drop it!" she insisted. He complied and returned to their earlier topic.
He sighed. "Were-wolves?"
Akiza nodded. "Yes, but they're incredibly hard to kill. They took down a 700 year old vampire. We cant just dive into this without any training or experience."
Jack nodded his head in agreement. They needed to train, non-stop, everyday for at least a few months before they could even consider going after were-wolves. "So we'll train then. Everyday until we are ready to take on were-wolves.:
"Agreed." There was an air of excitement and adrenaline in the room. Both were determined to become the best were-wolf slaying vampires the world had ever seen.
And they were determined to do it together.
