~*~*Chapter eight~*~*~
Darkness consumes me. I let it do so. There is no point in fighting the inevitable.
"Cairbre, time to get up sleepy head." The voice makes my mind boil. I can hear someone's thoughts, feel them course over my mind. Why was this happening?
"What happened?" I open my eyes to a world of such light that I cover my eyes with my arms.
"Some vampire girl brought you in." Slowly I opened my eyes again and recognized this room as one at a Single Earth. The girl sitting next to me was no ordinary girl, she was a shapeshifter. What was her name again? Devika, yes, that's her name.
"How long ago?" Her hawk eyes glanced at me before she held out a bottle to me.
"Drink this." I took it, slightly suspicious before taking a sip. Shifter blood coursed down my throat and I finished the drink before I knew what it was. I then set down the cup and looked at Devika again. Her blond hair was put back into a sloppy loose ponytail, her skin was a bit pale and just as my eyes well upon the small bandage on her arm, she stood up. "There is a note over there for you."
She had willingly given me blood. How strange. "Thanks Devika," I replied just as she left. Her name got her attention and she turned to look at me with a bit more respect. It was true that I am not usually at this Single Earth, but I was known as a weak vampire with a short temper. Not true, obviously. Devika at least knows now that I am polite. Vampires that are polite dont have a tendency to be violent.
As she left I pulled on my boots before grabbing the note. Seeing who it was from I almost ripped it up but the first sentence caught my eye.
Cairbre,
We have tried to listen to your reasons not to even hear our proposal but now we must move to persuasive antics. It was we, Moira and Fala, that gave you the extra sleeping time. Too bad you didn't kill Rabe, now we might have to. She put up a good fight, little bitch. But now isnt the time for that, not when we have a job for you to do.
Before you say no, just remember that Rabe's little mortal life depends on this. There is a human that we need dead. But she is untouchable. YOU have to kill her mother. Tomorrow, Sunday morning, is when you must do it. If you dont, Rabe is dead.
In your left pocket is a small piece of paper.
I paused reading the note, my hands shaking, to pull out a small scrap of paper in my pocket. Looking it over I saw it had small descriptions of Fala on one side, and on the other it said Stay in your place. My mind racing, I continued reading the note.
Place that in the dead woman's hand. Kill her whatever means possible. If you do what we ask, Rabe will not be killed. However, if you fail to do so, the last time you will remember seeing her is with a dagger in her hand, the tip in your direction.
The woman will be easy to recognize. She will be with two Smoke witches. Caryn and Hasana Rashida.
Until we meet again,
Fala and Moira
I stared at the note as if I could set it on fire with the slightest whim. Seeing the candle on the table, I threw the note there. That worked for me. Not bothering to put out the small fire that I had started, I left SingleEarth in attempt to think.
Sunday. What was today? Wait, the note said tomorrow, Sunday morning. It was obviously not morning, but pitch black out. Devika's blood had cleared my vision, and it helped me remember how I had fallen asleep. The thoughts I had heard while I was sleeping, they were Rayne's.
She had given me her blood, I dont understand....
I pushed her thoughts and my own out of the way and brought the problem at hand down. Fala and Moira have many good reasons to kill Rabe. But they ARE vampires of their word, despite how sadistic they can get.
In the corner of my eye, I saw the one thing I was dreading. The one thing that humans assume could turn our kind into dust. The sun, rising almost tauntingly over the horizon.
Smoke, aye? Healing witches. I suppose I could...NO, I pushed that out of my mind. Although other Smoke witches have joined SingleEarth, those two have not. I could not go to them with my problem. And we all know that they are here to protect the....
Ash Night. Fala and Moira want to kill Ash Night, but Aubrey is protecting her. If I kill her mother....Rabe will live if I do.
Turning into a coffee shop that always seems to be open, I sit down at a table and glance at a clock in the corner. 6:45. "Would you like to order something sir?" I turned my head and saw a human girl no older than 17. Oh my... that was the girl at Las Noches. She seemed to recognize me after awhile and looked at me with a bit of unease.
"Nothing, thank you." She just stared at me, somewhat unnerved. "It's ok," I whispered as I grabbed her hand and made her look at me. She was still scared. "I won't hurt you." Knowing that going into her mind would be a bad idea if I was trying to calm her down.
"Alright..." She looked at me once more, a bit more calmed down before turning and leaving to check on someone else.
I checked outside again. It was getting brighter by the minute, but I had slept quite a lot in the past weeks and so I didnt really feel the need to do so. I smirked. The thought of a kill excited me, no matter how against killing I am.
Standing, I glanced around the shop once more before leaving. I had to go and find the church where I was to kill Ash Night's mortal mother. I would go there early, then go and make sure Rabe is actually in trouble. I wouldn't be surprised if they had just faked it. Maybe they depended on my love for a human to act instantly. Heh, no way would I not check on this. I have many more arts than painting, and lying was actually one of them, and no doubt it was the blood sisters' art as well.
"Rabe," I said to myself as I walked down the vacant street. "Please forgive me."
Darkness consumes me. I let it do so. There is no point in fighting the inevitable.
