A few hours had past and the Sun had set, crossing over to night time. The two vampires, true to their word were getting ready to visit this new cafe Haiku owned.
Lincoln was combing his hair while Luna was brushing her teeth to have that extra nice smile.
Luna: So little bro! You excited about going?
Lincoln: You kidding? I'm ecstatic and a bit nervous..
Luna: What makes you say that?
Lincoln:.Well... What if we get clumsy and break a few things? It'll humiliate us, Lucy, and Haiku!
Luna put her hands on his shoulders in an attempt to calm him down. She looked him into the eyes with an intense manner.
Luna: Listen dude. You're overreacting towards this. Just.. take a deep breath and everything will be alright ok? Just.. breath...
Lincoln nodded and started to slowly breath in and out to Lunas command. In and out. In and out. Soon, he had calmed down.
Lincoln: thanks Luna. Now.. let's head out!
Luna and Lincoln opened the attic door and climbed down the ladder. They went to Lucy's room and saw she was getting her shoes on.
Lucy: Alright. Follow me. Its twenty minutes from here.
Luna: Why can't we fly?
Lucy: I wouldn't be able to follow your speed. I can't teleport you know.
Lincoln: With how much you spook people it makes it hard to believe that.
Lucy: I only walk around. I just know the layout of the house so much that I avoid all the creaky spots to create little sound.
Lincoln and Luna shrugged and followed Lucy out the door and into the night of Royal Woods.
Royal Woods may have been peaceful but over the years it had become wildly different town when night comes around.
Teens snuck out to parties, drunk driving, and many many things came out to play.
Including vampires.
As it turns out, Lincoln and Luna aren't the only vampires in Royal Woods, much to their suprise. Though the other vampires don't really come out all that often due to fear, much to Lucy's disappointment.
Luna: So little sis, how long has this cafe been a thing?
Lucy: Not long. It secretly opened last week and become popular with the vampires quickly.
Lincoln: Strange. It's next to impossible to contact them.
Lucy: Haiku is friends with most of them. It's just a matter of if they return her calls.
Luna and Lincoln just shrugged and continued to walk with Lucy.
After a few short turns and a shortcut through the cemetery, they reached an alleyway.
Lucy: Its down here. Follow me.
Lucy lead them down the alley and to a fancy wooden door with a sign that said "Café du sang"
Luna: Cafe.. Do sang?
Lincoln: It means Cafe Blood in French!
Lucy: Correct. Now lets go inside. I don't want to be late again.
Luna: This is so exciting!! I can't calm down!!!
Lucy opened the door, letting Lincoln and Luna go in first. What they saw astonished them!
It was a medium sized, candle-lit cafe. Many small wooden tables were spread out the place with what seemed to be a bar at the left and a counter to buy normal things at the right.
Luna and Lincoln sat down at a table Lucy directed them to and even gave them menus.
Lucy: Haiku will be with you shortly.
They both nodded as Lucy walked away.
Luna: So little bro! Whaddya think if this place?
Lincoln: Its pretty neat! Though... the menu is.. odd. Blood pasta. Blood steak. Blood velvet cake.
Luna: I'm guessing the secret ingredients is blood. Tasty!
Lincoln: Depends on what type of blood.
Luna: Type of blood? What on earth are you talking about?
Lincoln: Right. Lucy forgot to tell you this, well... You know there are many diffrent blood types right? Like AB, -B, and stuff correct?
Luna: Yeah? What about it?
Lincoln: Well... Each type of blood for humans have their own separate taste, ranging from sweet, spicy, or even sour! But they all taste good to vampires as their bodies are made to consume all types of blood!
Luna: Sour? How is that.. tasty?
Lincoln: Well.. sweet and sour but you get my point correct?
Luna: Aahh! That's neat.
As the two talked, a tall black haired curvaceous woman in a purple dress walked towards them with a tray in her hand.
She went by the table and placed two steaks one for each loud.
Haiku: Hello Lincoln. It's nice to see you again.
Lincoln: Haiku! Glad you're here!
Haiku: I own this place but it's nice to see you too. (Gives Lincoln a kiss on the check). So.. would you two like a taste of our food?
Luna: Hell yes! I'm starving!
Haiku nodded and left them be. Luna and Lincoln smiled and instantly started snacking at the big blood laced steaks.
It was B type blood, giving it more chew that felt amazing on their rock strong fangs and a nice spicy punch to add as well.
Luna and Lincoln finished their steaks and leaned back as they felt the euphoric feeling the blood gave them.
Luna: Damn! That sure was *BUUURRP!!!! Tasty...
Lincoln: Hehe.. I'll say. Best damn steak I've tasted in years!
Haiku walked back to their tables with Lucy holding a small tray of chocolates.
Haiku: I'm honored you love the Blood Steak. Here is our popular Negative Candy.
Lucy handed them the chocolate and went back to waiting other vampires.
Luna: This looks.. peculiar.
Lincoln: Might as well give it a try right? It won't kill us.
They are their candies and savored the nice warm chocolate taste. It was AB type blood for Lincoln. But for Luna..
Luna: Wwwwhhhooooaaaaa!!!!! This taste amazing! Its like eating a cotton candy rainbow!!! But.. Man do I feel.. Light headed...
Lincoln signaled for Haiku to come over and explained what was happening.
Haiku: Light headedness? Oh. My apologies. I accidentally have given her our special -O type blood candy only reserved for our special patrons.
Luna: Special patrons? The hell does that even mean?
Lincoln: Luna calm down. Can you explain a bit more?
Haiku: Of coarse. Follow me. I'll explain while we walk.
The two louds nodded and started walking by Haiku.
Haiku: What I mean by special patrons. I'm talking about the more richer vampires who help provide funding to this cafe. This cafe was commissioned by the mayor herself to help drive down vampire attacks by providing special blood drives for the special ingredients in our food.
Lincoln: That's pretty interesting but what about the candies? Why are they made?
Haiku: Vampire communities in France. They make a lot of money from blood candy. Speaking of blood candy..
Haiku led them to a back area with a giant closer full if boxes. Luna immediately perked up when she recognized the sweet savory smell of the type -O blood.
Luna: Whooaa... Is... Is this a dream, brah? Cause this smell is going to make me shoot at the speed of light!
Haiku: This is where we store all our secret chocolates. They aren't available to the public vampires, hence only special patrons have these
Luna: bummer...
Haiku got out two boxes and handed them to Luna, making the rocker give a face of happiness and surprise.
Luna: F-for me?
Haiku: For both of you. Think of it as a nice little gift as a welcome to my cafe.
Lincoln: Thank you so much Haiku! But.. I'll decline. I've heard about the effects -O blood can have on vampires.
Haiku: You do make a good point.
Luna grabbed the other box from Lincoln and took out one of the palm sized, heart shaped chocolates and stared at it with glee.
Lincoln got a nervous look as Luna started chomping into it like a rabid animal.
Lincoln: Haiku. I have a bad feeling about this..
Haiku: I share your thoughts as well but don't worry. If she becomes addicted to the blood, a bite into some garlic will do the trick.
Lincoln: Yeah... Hopefully..
