Chapter 3: Voice
´´Which leads to fate of the ill begotten progeny. Without a Sire most childer are doomed to walked the earth never knowing they're place, they're responsibility and laws they must obey´´ Said the prince while walking towards me and i don't fully understand what he said but i did knew that unless a fucking miracle pops up i'm totally screwed.
´´Fight!´´ came to my head and it was the voice from the nightmare i had.
It kept shouting ´´Fight you goddamned pussy, get up and tear those pathetic ties and rip his fucking throat!´´
I answered ´´Are you kidding me?! I'm dead either way!´´
Then the voice said arrogantly ´´Not when i'm around kid´´
It continued, joyfully ´´C'mon kid let go! We'll have lotsa fun together!´´
I felt desperation reeling me in like my mind sinking away replacing me with... something.
I resisted the feeling and the voice got annoyed ´´Damn it ya measly fuck! Only i can save what's left of ya sorry ass!´´ I don't know what the hell it is but something told that i should fight against it. ´´FINE! Then die ya worthless lick´´ said the voice when it disapeared.
´´There for i have decided that..´´ i knew the prince was gonna execute me. I was frightened, scared and i'm willing to bet it showed clearly to everyone but before the prince could finish his sentence, the hispanic man stood up and shouted ´´THIS IS BULLSHIT!!!´´ black man and the girl we're holding him preventing him going to the prince. I don't who he was but he must've been big shot himself because some people rose up looking the prince intensly and some where still sitting looking worried and whispers circulated around the room.
The man in middle of the stage look at the prince as if he was worried about how he'll react to the disorder around him. He was silent for while then finally spoke with slightly annyoed tone ´´IF mister Rodriguez would let me finish. I have decided to let this Kindred live. He'll shall be instructed into the ways of our kind and be granted the same rights´´
My hands we're cut free and i collapsed on the floor ready to cry any second.
The man in the middle came to me, lifted me up and said ´´Don't worry you're safe´´
He quickly looked at the prince and then said quietly ´´For now atleast´´ then he tapped my shoulder wished me luck, weird guy i thought. When the hall was empty i approached the prince and he tried to sound apologetic ´´Your sire tragic my apologies, but you see there is a strict code of conduct all of us must... adhere to if we wish to survive´´ i said to him ´´I'm sorry but who are you exactly?´´
´´Ah yes forgive me i'm Sebastian Lacroix prince of LA and you are?´´ prince pointed to me.
´´Name's Jake Gossamer and mind telling me what just happened?´´
Lacroix just shook his head and said ´´In due time mister Gossamer, in due time.´´
He explained to me how sparing me would make him responsible for my behavior and told me to prove it was more than waste of gesture. Lacroix told me to go Santa Monica to meet his agent Mercurio who would tell me the details of the job and i couldn't help but feel obligated to follow his orders and do what i'm was told to do. I went the backdoor of the theater to the back alley. When the door closed behind me i looked up the sky and said to myself ´´What the hell is gonna happen to me now?´´
