CHAPTER TWO. - ENCOUNTERS.
Taking a walk down town had always been quite a sight for me, not as wonderful as running at full vampire speed, but remembering good ol' human days wasn't that bad either, even though I loved being a vampire.
We strolled down the busy streets of the centre, watching as people went by; unaware of our true nature because we blended in quite well or just because they didn't give a damn for anything that wasn't their own pathetic lives. I was admiring an interesting building when I felt it. I understood Stefan had felt it too since his mood changed quickly from being at ease to a complete alert state. I smelled a scent over the ones coming from the bodies and the different establishments that surrounded us; it wasn't human.
My mate glanced back at me, uneasiness written all over his face. It took us just a few seconds to decide on what to do. I breathed in deeply and made my way through the left to the spot where the scent was presumably coming from, as Stefan did the same thing but from the right.
I made my way through the crowd, pushing humans aside and letting my nose guide me. As the scent grew closer and more intense, I lost sight of Stefan. It was so near I could almost taste it, but just before reaching it, a sudden move distracted me, accompanied by its own particular scent. I froze for a moment, knowing not if moving forward to get my initial prey or chasing the new one, but I quickly made my mind up, deciding to go after the new scent, leaving the other to Stefan, trying to trust my instincts.
The second one moved fast, not even caring to hide its incredible speed from humans, but of course, they were too busy to even notice it. I rushed ahead to try and catch it, but it kept on running errantly. Suddenly, a flash of blonde hair passed me by. I had been noticed.
I instinctively ducked, trying to regain balance and spot my prey, but it started moving too fast. The only think I could see was flash after flash of blonde hair until I felt nauseated. I was trying to pick myself up when the "flash" abruptly stopped right in front of me and gave me a little push, making me fall on my butt. In the middle of my confusion, I could only see a blond blur in front of my face and at the distance, I could hear a deep laugh. I closed my eyes and rubbed my forehead, trying to sweep the dizziness away until I felt a cold hand patting my shoulder. I opened my eyes reluctantly just to find a young blond boy standing in front of me, an amused look on his face.
"Well, well, you seemed certainly more threatening in legends", said the boy, the delighted expression remaining.
I made a disgusted face as he offered me a hand which I refused and attempted to get up the ground by myself and failing, provoking a new outburst of laughter in my young interlocutor.
"Seriously mate, it's best this way. Trust me". The boy offered me his hand back but this time it was shrugged off by another, one I recognized: Stefan's.
"My, it was about time", I added, infuriated as I accepted his offer of a lift.
"Sorry, I was a little busy", Stefan answered, pointing at his back where another ashy blond chap that looked older that the one I had unfortunately encountered, was standing still. The man extended a hand towards me; apparently today everyone was eager to get a handshake. I shook his hand coldly and the younger boy did the same with Stefan, a grin on his face.
"We're sorry for the sudden appearance; we're definitely not the invasive kind", started the older vampire.
"You surely don't seem like the passive one either".
Stefan glanced back at me, trying to control my temper but I was a bit taken aback for the sudden events. The blond kept going.
"I know how this may look but we mean no harm. Actually, we are here from very unusual motives".
"And what could those motives be?" asked Stefan with a suspicion look.
"As odd as it may sound, we felt the need to come here. Things were heating up a bit back in our land, so we opted for a slight change".
"Where do you come from?"; my mate could be such an interrogator.
"Germany", sang the younger vampire, a proud smile on his face. The older one had no choice but to nod.
"You're far from home, but not too far either, and your story sounds frankly suspicious. If you needed a change, why choosing a country so similar to Germany?" Stefan pointed out. The older vampire breathed out in disbelief.
"Don't tell us you haven't felt it. The times are changing".
I squirmed at the thought; that was exactly what I had felt for a considerable amount of time, and it was a bit odd that all of a sudden this foreigners appeared out of nowhere (well, Germany actually) and claimed to be feeling the same way. Stefan noticed my bewilderment and moved almost imperceptibly towards me.
"We have felt changes indeed, but still don't understand what we have to do with you"
The older vampire sighed. "I also wish I could answer to that question. The good news is we might know what kind of changes to expect".
My eyes widened almost imperceptibly and I automatically glanced at my mate, who gazed back at me with an anxious look. As I felt approval rush between us, we nodded back at our non-invited guests.
"But firsts things first", said the older vampire. "We must make sure you are who you claim to be..."
