Chapter 9
Morgead Blackthorn
I objected, once again. There was no way in hell I was going to let her do this, specially not alone. I don't care how important and interesting the meeting could be, she was not going in there by herself, no matter what.
But goddamn she was stubborn.
"It's the only way!" she hissed loudly and quiet at the same time. I had my arms crossed while I stood blocking the way to a tunnel, I now, couldn't fit in. I shook my head before she hissed again, this time she grabbed my shirt and pulled me towards her face. "Move!" she pushed me back, damn it, what the fuck does she eat for breakfast?
"Make me"
"Ugh!" Maybe that wasn't the smartest thing to say seeing how she punched me in the face. But that's okay, I can take a billion hits before she actually makes me move. "Why cant you let me go!"
"You could get caught"
"Sure it has nothing to do with you, not being able to go?" She raised an eyebrow while she crossed her arms. Jez was right. I wasn't about to let her go alone in a tunnel that would lead her into an office that was right next to a room full of vampires- that happened to not own a heart. If they found her, they would kill her. Then, I would probably die right after knowing that it was all my fault.
"They will kill you if you get caught" I told her not really answering her question.
"I know that" She rolled her eyes before letting out a heavy sigh. "We already talked about this Morgead. You even suggested the idea, why are you chickening out now?"
I winced remembering that this was, in fact, my idea. Stupid me. "I'm not chickening out. I just feel like I need to safe your sorry ass from a bunch of elders"
"I wont get caught!"
"it's a fifty, fifty chance." I gave her a glare as she sighed again. "I wont let you take any chances"
We argued for another twenty minutes. She tried more then twice to get pass me, but fuck no, I wasn't losing this fight. The risk of getting caught was high -even if Jez was very careful. Whatever was discussed in that meeting didn't matter as much as Jez's life-
What the fuck am I saying.
Yes, I like Jez, she is a… friend… I guess, but then again, if it was any other friend I would have probably let them risk their life's… I mentally hit myself trying to push that thought away. Fuck it! I hate when my mind feels the need to make me argue with myself. Jez is just a friend I care about. A friend. Simple as that. Nothing more.
So why does her life matter so much to you?
I was not going to let this happen. Oh no, my mind was not going to make me give in to a stupid debate. Focusing my eyes on a now spacing Jez I blanked my mind out deciding to enjoy the nature around us- which reminded me I had to go hunting.
Did you hear that? I blinked once as I heard Jez's voice in my head. To think I thought I had my walls up.
Hear what? I asked looking at her, she looked thoughtful, some what curious.
Listen. She said before walking to stand next to me. I did as she told me and listened. I tried catching every small sound possible with my vampire-ish ears- ha, that was funny. For a moment I stayed quiet trying to catch whatever Jez had heard. I was about to give her a look saying 'you probably imagined it' but that's exactly when I heard those voices.
Two guys, talking.
"…heard Thierry didn't show up, also Red Fern…"
"…that wild power prince didn't make it either…"
You could only imagine the excitement on Jez's face as she figured they were talking about the meeting. She pushed on the ground before she kneeled down next to me. We hid in the darkness as we kept hearing the conversation the two vampires were having.
"So is that why the meeting was cut short?"
"I'm surprised there was actually a meeting- I thought they would cancel it right after Thierry announced he wouldn't make it."
"They didn't care. What was the meeting about anyways?"
Now this, I wanted to hear. I cant believe how good things turned out- Jez wasn't going to kill me any more! Thanks to these two idiots we would find out about the meeting and she will forget about me 'chickening out'. I looked at Jez, who looked completely hypnotized by the conversation. Smiling, I listened carefully to the next words one of the guys said.
"The weirdest topic ever. Soulmates"
In the back of my mind, as soon as I heard that word I had the weirdest feeling of deja-vu. I shook my head ignoring the feeling, before repeating the word in my head once again.
Are you fucking kidding me?
"Soulmates? The myth about 'your other half'" One of the guys said that in between laughs- I myself was trying to stop myself from laughing.
"Apparently, its not a myth"
"So what is it?"
"The biggest threat the Night World is facing right now"
Now that, did it. I erupted with laughter. This guy had to be joking! Oh god, I don't know how hard I laughed, but the next thing I knew, I was being dragged by the hand out of the place. It was Jez- I knew that, I could feel her hand wrapped around my wrist. She wasn't laughing- which I found weird. Who does not laugh after finding out the Night World thinks soulmates our the biggest threat?
The whole soulmate principle shit was just a big joke. A myth, created by stupid ancestors. They believed that everyone had their perfect match- their other half. It was stupid and irrational- it didn't even make sense. They believed that once someone found their soulmate, they wouldn't be complete if they weren't with them. Stupid much? Yes.
"Shut up you idiot!" she yelled at me as I continued laughing. "You make a fuss over me getting caught- and you just practically got yourself caught!"
"Soulmates, Jez!" I laughed harder "They think its real!"
"So do I"
That, shut me up.
Thierry Descouedres
I was informed the meeting wasn't cancelled after I took my shower.
It surprised me but then I realised it must have been Maya's orders. I am the Lord of The Night World, but its thanks to her I exist, meaning she has more authority and power then I do, but it still made me wonder. I knew what the topic was, because after all, Maya had told me about it this morning.
Soulmates.
The way she said it, bothered me. Her attitude and the look she gave me- like she was expecting me to say something. Reading her mind was not an option, her walls were to strong to break through- besides the point that she would actually enjoy my presence in her mind.
I don't know why the soulmate principle was a topic to discuss- actually, I do. I know I do, somewhere deep inside my head and heart, I know why the meeting was called. I just don't want to admit it. Not yet, not now.
It doesn't matter how hard my heart is beating, it doesn't matter how much my mind thinks of it. Nothing matters- not anymore.
Sighing, I laid on my bed thinking over my day. It hadn't gone as I expected- actually, quite the opposite. Maybe Keller was right, maybe school was pointless and - ugh. I shouldn't have gone today, I don't even know what I was thinking.
That's a lie. I knew exactly what I was thinking. I was thinking of an escape. That's why I wanted to go to school, to escape. Actually, that's always what I've wanted. Since the day Maya turned me, I've been searching for an escape. I didn't want any of this, I never did. Back in the days, I was happy as a human, I had a life and it may have not been perfect, but it was something.
Something very specially to me that Maya took away. She changed me without my permission- she made me a monster and in the processes took everything I ever had and loved, especially my humanity.
Sure, being a Vampire had its advantages, but it never compared to humanity- at least not how I saw it.
Being alive for so long makes you realise a lot of things. I, unfortunately, have been able to realise many things such as how the years pass, and hate grows- even to a level that world wars occur. Also, how with technology and science, many forget how hard things are and should be- they take short cuts.
However, the one thing that stood out from all the others things I have realised, is that love is there. Simple as that, no matter what country, situation, place, time, city, year, second- love is always there.
And it hurt, it hurt to see so much love around me knowing that I could never feel that emotion. Because I had nothing to love- not anymore.
I saw babies come to life, I saw them grow up, I saw them fall in love and I saw them living happily ever after as they had their own babies. It was like a chain- never ending chain. Everyone grew up and fell in love- and if not, then they grew up loving their family and friends.
Always love, no matter who the person was.
In a world like this one, your heart- no matter if you are a creature of the dark or the day- has the desire of company. Of someone that will be there with you. People who don't have anyone, cant live- that's why many take their life's away, always the short cut to end that agony.
Because that's what it was. At least for me, that's what it felt like.
Sighing once again, I closed my eyes and moved to the other side of my bed. Out of all the days, I pick this one to be the one for me to self torture myself. What bothered me the most was because I knew why this day.
I knew why the word love kept passing my mind.
It was wrong though. What I was thinking and feeling, all wrong- but I couldn't help myself. So strong- the feeling so, powerful. For the first time in years, I felt so vulnerable and weak. I couldn't even keep my head clear, which usually wasn't that hard.
I stood up not feeling sleep anywhere near. It took me five minutes to change into something more comfortable from what I had been wearing this morning. I searched for car keys- any car keys and when I finally found the keys to one of the Volvo's I grabbed my wallet and went straight to the garage.
It didn't take me to long to leave my house. After a good two minutes I was already at least ten blocks away. Not really knowing where I was planning on going I kept driving- actually I kept driving following some sort of directions I was getting. I had no idea how, but my body and mind seemed to know where I was going. I tried filling up my mind with topics and thoughts that in no way related to anything that could make me think over my latest discovery.
Great. I already thought of it as a discovery, meaning I actually believed in it- right?
I passed a couple of red lights but didn't think too much off it, I could pay off all the tickets they gave me. After ten minutes I was driving myself through a street that was located fifteen blocks away from the school. It looked somewhat familiar. By the right side, there were houses and by the left, a couple of stores.
When my eyes spotted the store Best Buy, I decided to find a movie to enjoy for the night. Ignoring the fact that I knew for some reason I wasn't going to watch whatever movie I picked, I parked my car in front of the store. I rubbed my temples before exiting my car.
I checked my pockets to check if my wallet was there and I accidentally ended up dropping it. It somehow managed to roll underneath my car- its not like it was shaped as a ball. I kneeled down to grab it as I heard a car park right besides me. Finally grabbing my wallet from under my car, I placed it safely in my pocket before standing up.
"Thierry?" hearing my name caught me by surprise. I turned around to come face to face to a girl I think I've only seen twice.
"Maggie" I said instead of asking like she had done with my name. There was something different about her face, from what I remembered- one of her cheeks was slightly red.
"Uhm, hey" she spoke awkwardly. "What are you doing here" she asked quickly raising an eyebrow.
I heard someone chuckle from the other side of the car. I looked to see a guy standing there looking amused. He nodded, a gesture I took as a greeting, so I nodded back. It was polite of him seeing how we didn't know each other.
When I focused my eyes back on Maggie she was trying hard to control her blush, but she was failing. She rolled her eyes as the guy chuckled once again.
"I came to buy a movie" I told her pointing towards Best Buy.
"Oh" she said before grinning. "Well, you should get Daybreakers. It was a great movie- the whole vampire thing, priceless"
Vampires… priceless… yeah right.
"Ill get it"
"You really shouldn't" the guy who had been on the other side spoke while making his way to Maggie. "It sucked"
"You suck"
"You cant even say that with a straight face" the guy smirked as I chuckled as Maggie tried to say it with a straight face. When she failed she sighed and gave him a small punch on the shoulder before grabbing his arm.
"Lets go, they are waiting for us" She looked at me and gave me a smile "You should really get it, vampires rock" she gave me a playful wink and before the guy could say anything she spoke; "See you tomorrow Thierry"
I gave her a smile as I saw both of them leave towards a coffee shop. I saw the guy turn his head around for a second to look at me, then he mumbled something to Maggie- I couldn't help but to hear the little conversation they were having with whispers.
"You practically demanded him why he was here- why do you care in the first place?"
"Its not that, I just kind off thought he was here to see Hannah"
"Hannah? Care to explain?"
I stopped listening after that. Hannah- she was here?
And now it made sense.
Everything started clicking in my head and just like before I was bothered with myself, because I didn't want to face the truth. The feeling earlier on when I was driving- I knew I was following something, but I never imagined it would be… that.
I felt my heart quicken as I made my way towards Best Buy. I felt so pathetic, because I was denying myself- I was denying something that my mind and body- heck everything in me had probably already accepted it. So what part of me was denying this?
My heart.
I huffed. Not even my heart. I knew what my heart felt, meaning that I was really denying it.
I was just not admitting it.
"Hunter mentioned something about the old powers rising- but that doesn't matter. The meeting is mostly about soulmates"
Maya had said those words, but none of them mattered as much as the last one.
Soulmates.
Two people meant to be one.
An unbreakable bond.
One's other half.
Hannah.
Rashel Jordan
I was mad, definitely mad.
I cant believe I let him escape- oh goddess I'm such an idiot. And this was my last day- ugh! Only I would screw up on the last day I got a change to hunt.
Hunt for those bloodsucking leeches that didn't deserve existence. Those worthless creature that only wasted space. Oh how I hated those things. And today, when I had a chance of getting rid of one, I let it run away because of a stupid mistake I made.
"You cant kill any more leeches after you enter the school. We cant afford the risk of any of the Night World Students recognizing you"
Those words echoed in my head as I regretted not ending that leeches life over and over again. This had to happen to me today. I thought sarcastically as I walked around the kitchen looking for something to eat. Out of all the days. Did it really have to be today?
First school. Then that idiot. Now, I miss my chance to kill that vampire. Just great. Best day of my life. I said in my head while I pulled out a bag of chips.
I took the chips, grabbed a bottle of water and made my way towards the living room. I sat on the couch as I opened the bag and threw a couple of chips in my mouth.
I decided to think over the reason why I was going to school. That always made me cheer up, specially now that it meant a lot of the Night World people in the most wanted list were apart of the plan.
Who would have thought Thierry, Maya and Quinn would be assisting school. Not to mention the amount of Redferns I saw today and the Harman- honestly how dumb are they?
I didn't understand why exactly they were all in that school, and it bothered me. For all I know the Night World could have a plan going on right now, they could defiantly be planning something with this. Why else send a bunch of night people to school? The same school.
Don't think about it Rashel… My mind told me and I obeyed. As I ate some more chips I decided to think about that idiot. Quinn. John Quinn. I know so many of my friends who have been in search of him for years. He is definitely someone many wish to stake. I don't really care who I stake, as long as it's a leech.
After today though, I wanted to stake that guy really badly. Not only had he annoyed me but he had actually tried his charms on me. Not to mention all the trouble he got me in because of his immatureness when helping that teacher. If it wasn't for the distance we kept from each other I would have probably ended up staking him.
I caught him looking at my neck twice today, so I know for sure he has that desire on drinking my blood, so no doubt in my mind I will see him around. I didn't want to though- definitely didn't want too. I cant control myself from attacking a vampire- but my control cant last forever and if Quinn is the way he was today- of goddess he will annoy me so much I will end up attacking him.
That would mean I would ruin the plan. Ruin the chance of getting rid of many other vampire. I couldn't do that.
So I'm going to have to learn how to control myself around that guy- and always make sure to be around someone when I'm with him. If he tried to bite me then I would obviously defend myself, not only would he find it weird that I know how to fight but he would definitely figure out that I know about his kind- which means death.
So I had to keep my distance. But like I said, I saw that look he had when looking at my neck. And seeing how I had acted towards him this morning, he was definitely interested. He probably thought of me as a fun prey- as a girl that would not only give him what needs but he would have some fun while taking it from me. Taking my blood- oh he would probably suck me dry.
I had to keep away from him. Very far away.
"See you around Rashel" Those were the last words he told me earlier today- oh he had no idea how hard I would try to make sure that didn't happen.

Okay that is it!
