- CHAPTER FIVE -

Ethereal Café

Three friends were now comfortably seated on their tables. Seth scanned the surroundings and was quite amazed at the place. It kinda look unique with a crafted ship on every lower corners, dim light and cool posters. He observed how the place was not that crowded and he was okay with that. He found it rather comforting. A cute waitress approached them and start getting their orders. The waitress was kind of flirting with the three of them but mostly Dean. Roman doesn't like the scent of the waitress. Beautiful but pretty nasty. Seth even rolled his eyes and Roman could tell that Seth might be planning on how to put the waitress on her place. Roman and Seth becomes very protective to Dean because he's their friend and they don't want Dean to get hurt for choosing the wrong girl, plus they could see a golden ring on her fingertips. Though, they could see how Dean ignore the flirting of the waitress. They even chuckled when the waitress pouted her lips and just went away to prepare their orders

"The nerve." Seth mumbled as they waited for their orders.

"You could say that again." Dean scoffed. "She should be serving her customers not flirting with them. "Sounds like a hoe who wants their panties take off and fuck whoever they like."

Roman laughed at his remarks. "Extra service, I'll say."

"You're fucking right." Dean nodded as he runs his fingers through his hair. "Plus, she should learn to back off because she's clearly married."

"How can you tell?" Seth raised his eyebrows.

Dean leaned forward, resting his elbows on their table as he mumbled something at them.

"See that guy over there?" he pointed as Roman and Seth followed his finger and nodded. "That's her husband."

Roman and Seth both raised their eyebrows.

"They got the same wedding ring." He continued.

The two looked at the guy's hand and saw the shiny golden ring that Dean was talking about. They nodded and looked back at Dean. They weren't expecting Dean to be so sharp.

"Wow, you're pretty observant, aren't you?" Roman said, clearly amazed at him.

For a human.

Dean shrugged his shoulder and act normal.

Oh! You have no idea!

"I just like paying attention to my surroundings. Can't afford to risk anything." He chuckled as Roman and Seth know what he feels.

That's what they have been doing from two weeks. Hiding their identities to him. Of course, Dean read their minds as he changed the subject.

"So, how did you find the place so far?"

The two nodded their heads as Seth talked.

"It was pretty unique, I can tell. Love the ship being crafted."

The two were just talking a lot until their food was served by a familiar guy, who happens to be the husband of the waitress who flirts with them, with a pleasing smile. They thanked him as he left them enjoying their food. Three friends were joking around and sometimes teaming up one another.

"Though I got a question." Seth asked as he delightfully eat his damn salad that Dean and Roman complained on how a salad can sate his hunger.

"Ask away." Dean replied.

"Why this café is called "Ethereal Café?"

"Well, I heard that the owner of this café is very fond of aliens and supernatural creatures, like vampires, witches, werewolves, UFO'S and other beings. Said that he wants to meet one." He nodded his head slowly. "More like a geek though."

Roman was now listening intently as Seth looked at him, wanting to know more.

"Really?" Seth raised his eyebrows, quite interested.

"Yeap." He popped the p. "One of his former worker here, told me how his boss insisted that they exists."

Roman cleared his throat and spoke. "Looks like the guy's crazy." He sipped his drinks as Seth gave Roman a look that says what-the-fuck-dude-just-shut-up.

Dean was stifling his laughter. "I wouldn't say that he's crazy." He said coolly. "Who knows, they do really exist. I mean, we can't be the only one living here, right?" he saw them nodded their heads but quite hesitant. "Besides, some people already made an article and facts that poltergeist exist and some also believes that werewolves and vampires exist too. They just don't have much evidence though."

Seth was now chuckling nervously and Roman was just listening. Dean could feel that they were nervous but he won't stop talking about it. They asked him anyway. Sometimes, Dean just loves making people or any beings uncomfortable. Think its fun according to his books.

"Okay? But why Ethereal instead of supernatural?" Roman asked and Dean was amused on how Roman changed the topic.

"Oh! Ethereal sounds fancier than supernatural." He curtly replied while smirking.

"You're right. It does sound fancy."

"But why does this person wants to meet one?" Roman asked, clearly confused. "I mean, isn't he afraid?"

Dean laughed at his statement as while drinking.

"Nothing scares you if you're interested to see one. Bet the guy wants to be friends with them." He cleaned his mouth with a table napkin.

Roman and Seth was in disbelief. There are some humans who wants to be friends with the likes of them after all.

"Are you fucking kidding me?" Seth laughed.

Humans are strange creatures.

"Cross my heart man!" he manly giggled not because of what Seth said but it's because of his thoughts.

You two have no idea that I'm just like you.

"Besides, I, myself, wants to see one though." He continued, mischief was twinkling in his eyes. "Or maybe two. Like ..." he pretends to think deeply and smirked mischievously. "A werewolf and a poltergeist. It'll be pretty cool to see those in real life."

He could definitely feel their body tense at the mention of their identity. He was holding himself not to lose his shit or they might suspect him or think him crazy. The beauty of friendship. Making them feel uncomfortable or maybe worst upsetting them until they blow a fuse. That would be a funny sight to him. Besides, he wants to see them how they used their strength. He has an idea though, but still he wants it to see personally.

"Are you sure?" Roman asked him still skeptical. "You won't freak out?"

Dean sneered as he pointed at himself.

Why would I freak out?

"I'm Dean fucking Ambrose just so you know. Nothings freaks me out." His smiled. "Besides, it would be cool if I have friends like them. I wouldn't mind."

Roman and Seth were exchanging their glances in disbelief, like they were communicating to each other through their stares.

Is Dean fucking serious?

And to make it enjoyable, he went for the kill.

"And why are you guys acting weird? Did I hit a nerve or something?" he jests as he could literally see the two gulped.

The two nervously laughed as Seth got the courage to speak.

"W-what?" he stuttered. "Pfft .. nah!" he waved his hand like it was nothing. "Why would you think that?"

"I don't know. You guys seem jumpy when I mention those." He snickered when they stayed silent. "Are you guys hiding something from me?" he raised his eyebrows innocently.

Roman was obviously pale right now like really, a white sheet pale. Seth just cleared his throat uncomfortably as he gulped his drink in one go.

"We – uh – nope."

Of course, Dean felt sorry for them but it was still funny to tease them. The only reason he did that because he wants them to be honest with him even though he can't return the favour. So, to make it up to them, he laughed so loudly and hard as he could feel other people stares at their way and honestly he doesn't fucking care because he's having a good time here hoping that they would spill the beans.

"I'm just messing with ya guys!" he smacked their arms playfully as he stopped laughing. "Re-fucking-lax."

The two sighed in relief. "We know." They lied and dean could see it.

They were back in their happy nature as they paid their food and exited the café. They walked in a somewhat dark direction towards Seth's car. But before they sat their arses down, they somewhat enjoy the solitude of the surroundings and chill for a bit. Seth asked Dean about if he was serious about meeting supernatural beings which made him roll his eyes and replied that he was fucking serious. Seth grinned and shut his mouth. Later, they heard a woman screamed for help and they looked around frantically. Roman could smell a scent of a vampire, correction five vampires actually. Roman send Seth a knowing look as he get the point. He nodded at Roman and turned their gaze on Dean.

"Dean, stay here." Roman said as Seth was now walking, following the voice.

"Why? We just heard a woman screaming for help." He said normally. "Technically, she needs our help."

"I know but let us handle this." Dean was ready to complain again but he was stopped when Roman and Seth ran away.

Dean had to roll his eyes because honestly, he can run faster than them and secondly, he knows where they can find them. But still, he decided to stay. He could definitely smell the scents of five vampires but he got faith in them that they can defeat them. They were the lowest kind of vampires anyway, so they don't pose a threat except for humans of course! He was hoping that those low vampires won't find him. That would be a disaster. And even if it happens, he needs to kill them by any means necessary. His eyes were now bloody red and tried to scent another vampires in case if they were many vampires instead of those five. He sighed in frustration. Why ruin his night right now?

Why the attack just now?

Roman and Seth were now in a dark alley. Seth was now floating in the air as he transformed himself to his true form revealing a smoky dark grey of his body. Roman flashed his eyes from grey smoky eyes to yellow so he can see better to dark surroundings. The scream was silence. Seth disappeared into thin air as Roman sniffs again and advanced his steps. And voila! They saw five vampires who were now feasting a now dead body of a woman. Eyes open and her heart was ripped from her body. Intestines were now scattered as blood were splashed everywhere. Roman growled that earn their attention. Vampires hissed at him. Bloods were stained on their mouths and their eyes were a crimson red.

"A werewolf!" one of them shouted. "Attack!"

Five vampires attacked Roman as he transformed into his true form and viciously attacked the vampires. But he couldn't hit one because they were faster than him but still he stayed in his ground. One of them attacked him as he swiftly side stepped and bite the vampires on his sides before tearing him in half. Four of them run towards Roman and before they could be near him, Seth appeared in front of them and used his powers by levitating them into thin air. He throw them anywhere he likes. Such as on the wall, their back hits the trash and slammed them to the ground a couple of times before letting them go.

"And a poltergeist, bitch!" he smirked evilly. "Thought vampires are good at sensing. Guess I overestimated you a lot, you lowly crud."

Roman showed his toothy grin at his friend who were smirking evilly towards them. Vampires growled and were struggling their selves to stand on their ground. Roman was still on his wolf form and Seth was still smirking proudly. Looks like he did a number on those bloodsucking vampires. The bald one with a cocky grin have the courage to talk.

"Fuck you, you stupid poltergeist."

He laughed at his insults. "Is that all you got? Because honestly, I've heard worst."

This made the bald one growled as they attacked again. Seth smirked at this. He's always ready for action. Four vampires against a werewolf and a poltergeist were now battling intensely. Seth was playing around because honestly, they aren't that threatening at all. Seth managed to kill two vampires without a sweat. He's starting to get bored again. Roman and the bald one were facing one on one as Seth attacked the other one. Seth punched the vampire but he dodged it. Fist against fist. He wasn't floating anymore. His feet was on the ground while fighting the vampire on his own. Roman, on the other hand, was also fighting the bald one. He had to admit that he might be in the lowest form of vampire but this motherfucker knows how to pack a punch. He raised his paw trying to get the scumbag on his hands so he could scratch his eyes and slit his throat.

"For a werewolf, you sure are weak." The vampire laughed as he swiftly appeared in front of Roman and give him his uppercut.

Roman stumbled and immediately gain his balanced. The adversary were now running like crazy and Roman as having a hard time to catch him. He composed himself and tried to use his senses. He immediately turned his back when he could feel his sense and scratched him right in the face. He heard a blood curling scream as he waste no time on biting him off and send him flying towards the wall as he fell unconscious. He let out a victory sigh as he looked towards Seth who was fighting the other vampire. The vampire was swift on his moves and Seth is not good of speed but he can fight just well. He never noticed the vampire was raising his uppercut and it hit Seth's jaw that sent him tumbling. He was on the floor carrying his jaw as he could definitely taste his own blood. Is that even possible for a poltergeist to have a blood? Well, he was in his human form so maybe. He was furious! His eyes turns black.

"You fucking dare hit me in the face!?" he shrieked. He stood up. "Oh hohoho. Big mistake vampire!"

He disappeared in front of the vampire as he immediately appeared on the back of his opponent as he snap the head of the vampire like a fucking twig.

"Nobody punch me in the face!" he retort as the now dead vampire laid on the ground, like a leaf.

Roman returned to his human form and walked towards Seth grinning. Seth was still caressing his jaw.

"Motherfucker!" he growled. "Better not to punch me in the face." He repeated. "Shit! This is gonna leave a mark tomorrow."

"If it makes you feel better, it'll suit you though."

He rolled his eyes. "Haha, real cute Roman. Real cute!" he pursed his lips. "By the way, where's the cocky one?"

"He's right over ..." he turned his head to point at the bald one but he found none. "There?"

They walked towards the direction to where he pointed. "What the fuck? He was right here clearly unconscious."

Seth took a deep breathe. "Why didn't you finish him off when you still got the chance?"

He never answered him as he tried to sniff the scent of the vampire. He paled when he realized that he fucked up very bad. He looked at Seth who was impatiently tapping his foot on the ground like a mother who were lecturing her kids.

"Well?" he said.

"He was heading towards Dean's direction." He gulped as Seth paled.

"WHAT!?" he shrieked.

Roman transformed into a werewolf and run as Seth followed behind him and cursing under his breath. Roman will never forgive himself if something happen to Dean. Dean, on the other hand, was patiently waiting at them. He could tell that they had managed to kill some of them well except for this one. And the worst part is that, this vampire is heading to his direction. He was sensing that it was getting close and sooner, a bald vampire appeared in front of him with a smirk on his face. He wasn't even afraid of the vampire that was in front of him. He stood there tall and the vampire smiled even wider as he scratched Seth's car.

"You aren't showing any fear, human." He circled him like a predator who captured his prey as Dean rolled his eyes. "And you don't smell like a human. You don't scent at all."

"Fuck off, Cesaro!" the vampire whose name is Cesaro was taken aback on Dean.

"How the fuck did you know my name?" he growled. "Surely humans can't read minds." Dean almost flinch. "I can't even fucking read your mind. What are you?"

"None of your fucking business, you lousy scumbag!" he barked and he was now sensing that Roman and Seth are on their way to his direction.

Dean was ready to fight Cesaro when he saw him raising his claws ready to attack him but Cesaro sense another presence running towards their direction.

Roman was now dangerously growling while showing his very sharp teeth and in a blink of an eye Cesaro appeared on Dean's back as he held Dean his hostage.

Dean was holding himself not to roll his eyes.

Stupid vampire! Think he can escape by making me a hostage.

"Stay where you are werewolf if you still want him to live." Cesaro threatened as he tightened his hold on Dean's neck. Dean was now grunting, clearly not liking being manhandled by a low vampire. He was controlling himself not to lose his patience or else he'll blow his cover besides he could clearly tell that this vampire won't live long. He can smell his death already.

Roman growled as he returned into his human form. Roman was not expecting to reveal his identity at Dean. Dean widened his eyes not because he was scared. Why could he be? He's just amaze. So, that's how werewolves transform. Pretty cool. If he was in a better situation he might have said anything but tonight's not the night to comment anything.

"Let him go or you'll die!" he threatened.

"Oh really? Well, let's see who kills fast." Roman paled.

Dean was ready to kill the vampire if Cesaro made one single mistake but before he could do it, he heard a voice behind him and Cesaro.

"Forget about me, dumbass?" he snickered and before Cesaro could react, Seth thrust his hand at Cesaro's insides as he pulled his heart within a second.

Cesaro let go of Dean as he fell on the ground, blood escaping his lips while his eyes open until he lose his final breath. The three where now looking at each other as Seth walked closer to Roman. They were both looking down like they were being lectured as silence ruled them. Dean just stand there, not moving on his spot because honestly, he felt kind of awkward at the silence and also the fact that they had shown what they truly are, well except him of course! He just looked at them curiously as he could tell that they felt sad because he already know. He almost scoffed at their thoughts. Like he cares of what they are.
