The first kill went very smoothly, Isara thought. Andy Forest had been walking through the city, making him easy to track. After locating him, they just simply ambushed him once he was on a quiet street and they killed him. He barely put up a struggle. Isara took a quick picture of the body to send to their employer then helped the others dump the body.
Once that was finished, Sanguine crossed Forest's name off the list and they made their way to the hotel they would be staying at.
"Tanith should be here soon," Sanguine said as they entered the building. "We'll wait for her here for a few minutes."
Isara saw Dusk frown. "Tanith?"
"Oh yeah, I didn't mention that? Well, put simply, since she got possessed by a Remnant and ran off with me, we're a team now so my jobs are also her jobs. She didn't come to the meetin' or the first kill because she was busy but she said she would meet us here."
Just then, a woman with tousled blond hair and tight leather clothes came up to them. Isara had never seen leather that tight.
"Hey guys!" she said cheerfully. "What's up?"
"Hi Honey Bunny," Sanguine grinned at her. "Glad to see ya. We had just checked the first guy off our list and were about to get a couple rooms."
"Great, that sounds good."
Sanguine turned to the two vampires. "I'm gonna go get the rooms, be right back."
He left and Tanith looked at Isara.
"You must Dusk's new girlfriend Sanguine was telling me about."
"She's not my girlfriend," Dusk growled.
"Oh?"
"Yes."
Before Tanith could say anything else, Sanguine came back over. He held up four room keys.
"Got em," he said cheerfully and passed out the keys.
Isara took her key and followed the others into an elevator, taking it up to the fifth floor. They got off and went to their rooms, Isara and Dusk's right next to Tanith and Sanguine.
"You don't mind sharing a room do you?" Dusk asked as they stepped in, shutting the door behind them.
"No, do you?" Isara asked dropping her bag into one of the arm chairs.
"As long as you don't annoy me we'll be fine."
"Dusk, we've been friends for months, do you really think that I'll be annoying?"
Dusk frowned. "Friends."
Isara shrugged. "I don't know what else to call our relationship. Besides, if I didn't consider you a friend I wouldn't be sharing a room with you. Now I need to shower."
She grabbed some clothes and walked into the bathroom, shutting the door and leaving Dusk alone. After her shower, Isara stepped out of the tub and wrapped herself up in a towel, drying off quickly before dressing in a loose long-sleeved shirt and sweat pants. She brushed her teeth then grabbed her old clothes and stepped out of the bathroom, finding Dusk sitting in the couch with his feet kicked up on the coffee table.
"Your turn," she said putting her dirty clothes away.
Dusk nodded and went into the bathroom. Isara pulled back the covers on her bed and slid in, lying back on the pillows with a soft sigh. She closed her eyes and listened to the sounds of the hotel, allowing her thoughts to go where ever they wanted. The bathroom door opening made her look over and saw Dusk walk in shirtless. He went to his own bed and got in, pulling the sheets up.
Simultaneously, both vampires were suddenly seized with pain, causing them to double over. Fighting the change, Isara lunged for the bedside table where the syringes had been placed. She grabbed one and jabbed it into her forearm, relief hitting her once the contents had been emptied into her body.
"Even after hundreds of years I've never gotten used to the pain," she said putting the syringe away then lying back down.
"I don't ever expect to," Dusk agreed leaning back against his pillows.
Isara turned her head slightly to look at him. "Did you get turned willingly?"
Dusk shook his head.
"What happened?"
Dusk was quiet for a couple minutes. "I was out alone one night and something attacked me. A farmer came along and chased it away then took me back to his house. On the third night I ripped my skin off and killed him and his wife."
"Did you know what you were?"
"No, I was a mortal at the time so I had no idea what was going on. I figured it out after a couple days but my life was never the same."
"Becoming something different does that to you."
"What about you? What happened?"
Isara sighed. "It's a bit of a long story. Growing up I knew about magic and sorcerers and monsters. I wanted to do magic too, but my mother wouldn't let me even though I could. She herself does magic, but only enough to slow the aging process. After some years though I got sick of her attitude and I found someone to change me and I became a vampire just to spite her."
"Do you regret it?"
Isara hesitated. "I'm not sure."
They sank into silence, and Isara felt herself finally succumb to sleep.
