(Here we go~ The second part!)
I managed to find the Doctor just at the early evening, when the streets were dark and the people slowly disappeared. Gladly, I could visit more of the Venice without any problems. I was really tired, so when I saw him getting out of some building with a big smile on his handsome face. I still couldn't belive, that this guy was so old. He looked like a five years old child who just went to a candy store. It means only one thing: troubles.
I walked to him and put forehead on his chest with a whine. He just laughed and patted my head.
- I...hate...stairs… and running – I muttered.
- Poor sis! - he chuckled and hugged me, stroking my head. His big, puppy eyes were so happy.
- Okay, what is it now? - I giggled seeing his mood.
- Vampires! Real vampires, can you belive!?
- VAMPIRES IN VENICE. GREAT – I muttered. Then Amy ran right at Doc, almost trampling me.
- Doctor! - she squeaked and grabbed his arms.
- I just met some vampires! - he screamed.
- We just saw a vampire! – she said in the same time.
- And creepy girls and everything!
- Vampires! He attacked a flower girl!
They started to jump, giggle and pull each other in a weird, happy dance. Then I saw poor Rory going to us, tired and shocked.
- We think we just saw a vampire – he said with the rest of breath. How I felt him...
- Yeah, yeah, yeah, I know. Amy was just telling me.
- Yeah, yeah. The Doctor actually went to their house – the ginger said.
- So? What plan now? - I shrugged and looked at the Doc, resting against a wall and eating an apple from my bag.
- So, first we need to get back in there somehow.
- What?! - me and Amy's fiance screamed.
- How do we do that? - Pond asked. She was so excited and I so didn't understand it.
- Come and meet my new friend – the Time Lord lead us somewhere. I will be interesting...
We went to some guy's house. His daughter, Isabella, was in the Calvierri's school and the man was really worried about her.
When they were planning how to get to the building , I went down and outside. The night was warm and calm. Lack of the electrical lamps on the streets let me to see the stars perfectly. I smiled and yawned. I started to walk slowly down a street, but not getting away from the house to not get lost. I saw some candles' lights in some windows, some single persons walking somewhere. The place was like from dreams. I was so glad I could stay here.
I sat down on a bench by a canal and looked at the water. My mind and body were calm and relaxed. To the time...
- Well look, who's here – I heard a familiar voice and turned back. I saw the man who I fell on today and I laughed a little. He was resting against a wall with one foot rested against it. He didn't have a hat now, just a golden cape from earlier.
- Hello again, signore – I smiled and yawned – what are you doing here that lately? - I looked back at the water. His quiet footsteps came closer to me. He sat down on a bench, but away from me. I looked up at him. His face was indifferent as he was looking up at the sky.
- Calm night – he said and I muttered with agreement - are you from here, girl? - he asked as his head turned to me and his eyes shone with curiousity. I didn't want to explain him all the fake „traveling from the other city", so I nodded.
- Yes, sir. I'm from here. Why you're asking? - I tilted head, then yawned again.
- Curious – that's all he said, but his eyes didn't leave me. A blush appeared on my face again.
The man leaned more to me and I felt like a rabbit observed by a wolf. All the hairs on my body stood up in a tension.
I got all my bravery in me and looked into his eyes. They were beautiful, but so worrying and … hungry. My heart was beating faster, and that's not because of a fear.
His glance was wandering over my face, then down at my neck and collarbone. The stranger chuckled and I was sure my head was all dark red now. I looked aside and I swear I heard a hiss coming from the male. It was a time to go, I thought, or I'll get a heart attack.
- Hey, Hope, where are you?! - Amy's voice was like the angels' song for my ears. I sighed with a relief.
- I'm coming! - I said loudly, then I turned to face the fancy man. Unfortunately, I measured a distance between our faces wrong and my lips landed on his cheek.
My heart wanted to jump out of me. I pulled away from his surprised face.
- I am SO SORRY! AGAIN! - I screamed, got up and covered mouth with hands. He blinked few times, shook head and tilted head.
- You're really clumsy – he growled , amused - so, you're Hope – he added, grinned and stood up too, towering over me. I started to step back.
- And you are?… - I whispered the question.
- Francesco – he bowed lowly with a sly smile.
- It was nice to meet you, signore Francesco – I bowed head a little without looking at him – I'm sorry one more time and good night~
Then I ran away in the Guido's house direction. Ginger was waiting for me in the darkness on an alley, observing me with crossed arms.
- Thanks heaven you came – I told her, trying to calm down my breath.
- You were talking to that vampire?! - she screamed and pulled me inside the house, then locked the door – are you insane?!
- Wait… what vampire?
- That man is the vampire who attacked the flower girl today! - she squeaked angry and I froze.
- ...what?
- Didn't you know?!
- Of course I didn't! - I sat on a chair and fanned myself with a hand – so close to death… he was hissing! I'm sure he was going to bite and kill me! - I got up and started to panic a little, when all the possible dangerous situations came to my mind.
- Calm down, girl! - the red head put hands on my shoulders – take a breathe… - I did few deep breathes and felt better.
- … I kissed him – I muttered and laid down on a table – twice now...
- You WHAT?! - the amusement in my friend's voice was audible. I didn't reply, just showed her the record from today. After the end of the video, I grinned.
- I've nailed the challengeee – I sang happy and poked her nose. Before she could say anything, everyone went down to us.
- Oh, Hope, here you are! - The Doctor screamed happy, grabbed my glasses and started to sonic them.
- Hey! - I screamed and rubbed eyes – give them back...
- We need them. The glasses will create a map of the rooms and corridors in the school – the man said and handed them back to me. I took them on and blinked few times - because we're going to the vampires' school!
- Wait...why?! - I glared at the Time Lord. He rubbed hands excited.
- We need someone who could open the trapdoor from the inside. We'll pretend that Amy's an applicant for the school! - his eyes were shiny, Amy was excited too. I looked at Rory. He was more that angry and afraid about his girl. He's such a pure angel...
- What about me? - I sat on a chair and crossed arms. I was starting to feel worse and worse.
- You'll go there too! – The Doctor looked at with a smile.
- I'm sorry, signore, but as I noticed – the black man whispered to my friend's ear – they take only the...hm... pretty girls… - unfortunately I heard it. My heart broke. Was I that ugly?
- First. Don't judge who's pretty and who's not, Guido. Second. She won't be a spy, just her glasses. All you'll have to do will be looking around the chamber room. The scanner in the glasses will do the rest!
- But…
- You'll only say you're a younger sister that wants to say good bye to her older sis! - he added with a huge grin – prepare everyone! We'll leaving in 30 minutes!
I sighed and rubbed temples. It's not gonna work… I'm sure I'll fail again…
(Well, a next meeting with a still thirsty vampire? WHY NOT? Kissing him again? Good you didn't rape him!
Hope: Maybe soon? ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)
Fran: What?!
Hana: Hope. No.
Hope: Hope. Yes!
Fran: *Francesco has left the room*)
