Chapter 3: The Meeting
Another week past, Jaden was now having a really hard time keeping his vampirism a secret. Twice he had almost blown his cover: first was when Alexis fell and got a scrape on her arm, which Jaden had stared at like heck, the next was when he tripped and his sunglasses fell, he recovered by putting his hand over his face and getting the glasses back on quickly. Jaden felt a like a traitor for not telling his friends about it, but he couldn't, not yet, not until he was sure of exactly what was happening to him and he knew how his friends could protect themselves, from him.
Jaden was wide awake that night, it was now so bad now, that he couldn't get to sleep until 1:00 sometimes! As Jaden lay awake he heard a noise, "Hmm."
"Huh," Jaden looked and saw the spirit was hovering right beside his bed. "What is it?" he asked cautiously. In the past, Winged Kuribo's visits had proven to be... interesting.
His monster friend "Hmm"ed again and flew of out the door.
"Hey, wait for me!" Jaden called, throwing on his jacket and running out the door. As he ran, he was slightly amazed at how easily was catching up to Winged Kuribo. Ah well, he thought to himself, the book said vampires were stronger than humans. I guess they're faster too. As they were running, Jaden saw three figures in the distance. One was a tall white-haired woman wearing a business suit. The next was a woman who looked like she was just out of her teenage years with blond hair and was wearing a police uniform. The last was a man with long black hair, wearing a red coat and hat, sunglasses and white gloves with something red drawn on them. That last guy made Jaden feel nervous. Who are they and why does that guy make me nervous? Jaden didn't think the answer would be very good.
When Jaden drew up to the threesome, the man grinned, revealing that he had fangs. "Ah, you're finally here are you?"
"Who are you three?" Jaden asked.
"Before I answer that I think we should all be on equal terms." With that, the creepy man motioned over to the trees, and out stepped Jaden's friends.
"What the-?" Jaden was not expecting this. The three people turning out to be vampire hunters and trying to kill him maybe, but this. He had a snowball's chance in the Sahara of being ready for this.
"Sorry Jaden," Syrus said with an apologetic look. "Its just that these guys said they could explain what was wrong with you; we've been wondering why you've been acting so strange lately and Chazz's Ojamas said we could trust them so..." Jaden couldn't help but feel guilty when his best friend said this. A problem he helped by reminding himself why he never said anything.
"Alright then," the man said in a sinisterly pleasant tone. "Let's begin."
"Finally," the yellow haired girl said. When the others looked at her strangely she said "Master hasn't told us exactly what's going on yet either because he said he didn't want to have to repeat himself."
"'Master'?" Alexis asked with a surprised look.
"Yes, the police girl is my fledgling and I am a vampire." He paused and then said "Just as you friend is becoming." the simple statement was met with the world's biggest "What?"from Jaden's friends.
