Chapter 17
Thank you for reading and Enjoy.
"I am surrounded by morons!"
Two men cowered as the older man lectured them. The fury of the head of the Vampire Hunter Council would often cause discomfort in lower employees.
"I send you on a mission to capture the girl, and you tried to kill her?"
"Councilman Seftis," One stepped forward slightly, "we are truly sorry for not following orders, but she is a traitor and deserves punishment. We went against your orders because we saw a chance to finally punish her for her sins. Besides we truly didn't know why you wanted her alive. So, I stabbed her and left her bleeding out on the floor."
Seftis paced around the floor, his glare intensified by the frown of his beard and mustache. He glanced back at the man, who quickly moved back to his place.
"Leaving her bleeding out is not what I asked, I needed her alive." He stopped his stomps, "you said that she sent a message to her husband?"
"Yes," the Hunter recalled, "just a blood type, AB negative."
"You two are truly morons." Seftis rubbed his eyes with his fingers, "She sent that for her husband to come and help her. That's why we haven't heard anything from her family. Her husband saved her life."
"We are truly sorry, Councilman." They both bowed with a fist over their heart. "We will return and make sure the job is done."
"It's too late now, you idiots." Seftis explained, "She will be ready, and if I think what happened, happened, then I have plans for her in the future."
The two Hunters were confused as to what the Councilman meant, but they didn't further question him. After a long moment, Seftis dismissed them. He thought for a moment longer before leaving his large office and to the foyer.
"Stephany," he called to the secretary, "can you call Kenric Van Helsing and have him meet with me next week?"
She nodded and began to pull out her address book to contact him. Seftis gave her a small smile then continued to walk down the hall to the elevator. Upon entering the vertical transport, he held up a badge to a magnetic sensor and pushed a button, taking him to a lower basement level.
The doors opened to a white hallway and Seftis walked down to the final door. Opening the door, a large laboratory greeted his entrance.
"Councilman," a scientist walked around the corner. "Do you have the specimen for me?"
"No," Seftis replied in distain. "Those idiots didn't listen to anything I asked them to do. I told them to bring her to me, but they simply tried to kill her and leave her there."
The scientist rubbed his chin. "Can you tell me why you wanted me to experiment this project on her specifically?"
"She is one of the strongest Vampire Hunter's in this era. If our experiments worked, then we would know that it can work on humans. After that, we could move to Vampires themselves. How are things going with the Vampire DNA?"
"I need a new Vampire, again one who is very young in Vampire age." The scientist explained. "We're getting close to success, but this last Vampire is no longer useful."
Seftis walked over to the desk nearby and sat in the chair, crossing his legs. He thought for a moment about the set back before coming to a conclusion.
"I'll get you another, just don't fail me. I need this serum to control both halves of the war." He grinned in such a way that made the scientist uncomfortable. "Once we unlock this power that once belonged only to Vampires, I will control everything."
"Sir," the scientist jumped in. "The war will not continue because of her marriage to Dracula's son."
"You would be right, except for the fact that Victor killed Councilman Edward, our youngest member." Seftis pressed his fingertips together. "The war will continue, and it will start at Elizabeth's front door."
