Ch.9:Ice Cream Parlor
Great! The kidnapper is at the Ice Cream Parlor. Aido was goanna get distracted by the ice cream. I sighed. "Let's go to the Ice Cream Parlor." I told him.
Aido stopped shivering. A smile crept on his face. "ICE CREAM!" he screamed.
I sighed again. "Yeah, yeah, let's go." I told him. I reluctantly started walking. Aido followed. He was a few paces quicker than me so he lead the way by being was in front.
All of a sudden he stopped walking and turned to face me. "Yuuki-chan, we have to go faster!" he yelled. He started to walk again but at an even quicker pace. He looked really excited.
'What's up with this guy and ice cream? He better not eat a lot of ice cream. He's goanna get fat if he keeps it up.' I thought
I trudged as I walked. Aido stopped and turned to face me again. "Yuuki-chan, you're too slow.' he pointed out.
I was about to argue with him but I was cut off guard. Aido pull me by the arm and hauled me over his shoulder to carry me.
"Aido-sempai put me down!" I screamed.
He didn't listen to me. He was too busy I guess, thinking about his precious ice cream. He was running to the Ice Cream Parlor like a mad man with me over his shoulder. I sighed. At least we would get there quick however, I look damn ridiculous.
Aido and I finally reached the Ice Cream Parlor. He put me down. We made it in 3 minutes. 'It's the power of ice cream.' I thought.
Aido looked excited. He was about to run in but I stopped him. "We're here for on a job, remember?" I scolded him. Aido just nodded. I could tell he wasn't listening. His eyes were looking at a menu that the restaurant had put up. 'This guy…'
I let Aido go and he ran inside. By the time I was inside, the guy had already sat down and got a waitress's attention. I just sat down with him.
He started to order. "I want a triple scoop ice cream cone." he told the waitress.
The waitress smiled. "What flavors do you want?" she asked.
He started to think a little. Then he answered her. "I want vanilla, strawberry and, chocolate."
The waitress wrote down his order. As she did so, I stared at the waitress. She was quite pretty. Her hair was dark brown but had light highlights in them. She had dark curls that just touched her shoulders. Her eyes looked kind. They were light brown that made it look almost like they were yellow like honey. She was also slender yet she had curves that made her look mature.
She turned and looked at me. "Is there anything you want?" she asked.
"No." I told her. I didn't really feel like in the mood to get ice cream. We were on a job. This wasn't the time to eat. We had to find out where the kidnapped girl went.
The waitress smiled again. "Thank you for your order." She then bowed. The waitress started to walk away. Aido looked excited. I guess he couldn't wait till his ice cream came. He was looking at the menu again. It was probably to decide what he should get next.
As we were waiting for Aido's order, I thought I may as well look at the document again. I didn't even know what the girl looked like. I started to look through the papers. I finally found the picture of the girl who was kidnapped. She looked familiar. Her hair was dark brown with light highlights and she had dark curls just like the waitress that had taken Aido's order. Wait a minute! It was her.
"Aido, you have to take a look at this." I told him. He stopped looking at the menu.
I gave him the document with the picture of the waitress. He just stared at it.
"That's the girl that was kidnapped." he said. I nodded my head. It was her. "What does it mean?" he asked.
"I don't know." I told him. If we were to find out, we had to ask the waitress our self.
The waitress came back with Aido's ice cream. We tried to act normal. She smiled again. "Would you like to try our new flavor? You'll have to try it in the kitchen though so that you can tell the inventor what you thought about it." I stopped to think. I could be able to talk to her and ask why she was here.
I smiled at the waitress. "Sure." I told her. She walked me into the kitchen. She handed me an ice cream cone. I took one lick. It tasted like regular vanilla but it tasted a bit bitter. I was about to tell her about what I thought about it but, I heard a click. It sounded like the door being locked. I turned around. I saw that the waitress had left. I ran to the door and tried to open. Damn, locked.
I heard a door behind me open. I saw that it was a woman. Her eyes were red. She had to be a vampire. "It's a pleasure to meet you." she said.
"Who are you?"
She laughed a little. "You don't need to know that. You're about to die anyway." She started to sniff the air. "You smell, so good. It's to be expected of a Pureblood."
"What do you want?" I asked.
"Well…" she began. She started to inch her way a little towards me. "I want your blood!" she snarled. She bared her fangs at me. I started to tremble. Calm down Yuuki. I told myself.
I tried to sound brave. "Why did you kidnap that waitress?"
She smiled a little. "You are about to die. I might as well tell you everything. I didn't kidnap that girl."
That didn't make any sense. How did the girl get here then? She had to have a friend who did it. "Who did?" I asked.
She smiled again. "It was my boyfriend. You see, instead of paying lowly humans to work, why not get employees for free by kidnapping them?" she smirked. She continued on. "My boyfriend was a level D vampire but, he became a level E vampire."
I stared at her bewildered.
She looked amused at my reaction. "Why don't I use your Pureblood blood to help him back into his sense? You never know, he may go back to level D."
I started to think. I bet her boyfriend was the kidnapper Aido and I was looking for. I guess he became a level E before he had kidnapped the waitress.
"I have a problem though." The woman started to pout.
"What is it?" I asked her. I knew what it was though.
"My boyfriend is hungry!" She opened what looked like a trap door. She then pulled out what looked like chains? She saw me staring at the chains. "Since he's hungry, I keep him on these chains. She pulled on the chains and her boyfriend came out. He looked inhuman. He had blood all over him. Drool was coming out of his mouth. He looked like a beast. He was a beast that had an uncontrollable quench, for blood.
I tried to pound my fists against the door so I could try to break it down, but I couldn't move. My body felt heavy and sluggish.
The woman started laughing uncontrollably. "You can't move because the ice cream you were given was drugged." she stated.
'Crap! I hate ice cream.'
