Night 23
The package was delivered and everything went without a hitch. Everyone we talked to before traveling said to expect trouble but really nothing happened out of the ordinary. Not that anything is particular ordinary in being Kindred.
Wait something did happen. We almost ran into some Hunters. I'm not sure what exactly they are, other than they obviously hunt… us. Kalina was the one that warned us, I think I was the only one that really believed her. They didn't see us so nothing happened.
About all I did the entire trip was play Tetris on my phone. I think I've almost beat my old record. When we returned to New York, we dropped Jingles off at Pink's. It was Kalina's idea.
At home we waited for Netlika or the Cardinal to contact us. I ventured to borrow Lorelei's computer. I found out my family is missing.
Night 24
That fucking bastard! How could he do that?
I just want to scream!
But I can't, I can't do a damn thing. What I'm I suppose to do?
It's my fault.
My stomach squirms like it's full of worms. I just want to throw up.
My walk didn't help. It didn't make the words disappear from my eyelids. It didn't make me feel better knowing. I have nothing to go back to, nothing to remind me who I use to be.
I'm furious and scared and sick and beyond distressed. I think always in the back of my mind, when all this was over I could go back, I could visit them. Let them know I was alright just was gone for a little bit. That's never going to happen now. Why? Why did he take them when he already had me? To take me and turn me into this but to slaughter them all of them until they were unrecognizable, until nothing human remained.
I… I don't know how much more of this I can take.
We met Netlika and her father for an early dinner. We were given a quarter of a million dollars as payment for our work. Midway though dinner they got what seemed like some disturbing news and left early. We left soon after. But on our way home there seemed like a gathering at a bar. They shot at our car. The bullets hit but didn't penetrate. We raced home.
Lorelei decided to take the car to Andrei's place to be analyze. Kalina went with her, I decided to stay behind. I needed to be alone for a while and get a gain on my thoughts and emotions.
Hopefully it helps but I seriously doubt it.
Night 25
When Lorelei and Kalina came back yesterday night they were arguing about how their joy ride had gone. Supposedly they blew up some kindred chasing them and Kalina lost an eye. Though she looked fine when I saw her. The car turned out to be Cliff Masters' car. Doesn't mean much to me but I'm told that if any Sabbat Kindred ask, to act like he's a monster and talk bad about him. I just think it's cool to have a car.
We decided to go to a club to pass the time. The first one was nice but kind of boring and we left early. So reluctantly we went to the Inside Out club. Pink's club. It's crazy crowded as always. Near the stage a fight was going on. I recognized the Kindred guy fighting, he's name being Cassady, he was from St. Louis. The girl with him wasn't kindred, Kalina explained that it was a Werewolf and urged us to leave. But Pink found us. He escorted Lorelei and Kalina out as I remained behind. I really didn't know what I was going to do but if Nicodemus had sent him I was going to try and make contact.
I appeared to them outside. At first it seemed like the Werewolf was going to try and eat me. But I explained as best as I could. Cassady explained he was in the city looking for a few Kindred named, Netlika and Anika.
I took it upon myself to help them. I know that it will most likely mean they will die--Anika and Netlika, but I don't care. I gave Cassady Anika's address and he in return gave me he's phone number if I should find the location of Netlika.
Netlika is hard to find, her father is very protective. Quickly I warned Lorelei about not going home--to stay at Pink's until tomorrow night. She wouldn't listen to me so I hung up the phone. She wouldn't understand.
First I went to Luigi's, I talked to Luigi he gave me an update on the car, it sounded pretty cool. He didn't know anything about Netlika's whereabouts but then he's not Andrei. So I went to their garage. Andrei told me more about the car and asked to pass along the information to Candy. He said he didn't know the location of Netlika but had business with her father, Andrei had the Cardinal's number. But the number wasn't for the likes of me, not even when I brought up the name Cassady. So much for that endeavor.
This journal is a sabotage to my own plans. But if I can't tell someone who can I tell. Thing's happen to good people for no rhyme or reason. I'm tied of being the good girl, the silent one, the victim. If I'm going to die then let it be on my own terms. It's time for me to take control and move this mission right along. I'm still scared to death and a little guilty about the people--no kindred I'm using to finish my own goals but then isn't that what everyone is out to do-- get what they want no matter the cost.
When I returned to the flat, there was a lot of cops and paramedics. It looked like it went crazy upstairs. A puddle of blood had soaked through from the upper floor. Pink was there licking it up. All the while Lorelei was confronting me wanting know what happened. I deliberately lied to her. I told her that I had overheard where Cassady and the Werewolf were going next. That I had called Anika but she didn't answer. And I hadn't told them because I hadn't want them there to get caught up in the mess. I think they believed me. Maybe I'll tell them later once Pink is out of range. But then maybe not.
I know I'm suppose to feel bad about this but I don't. I'm actually giddy. Then again I may have just lost it, but who gives a shit anyway. After all I am Creed's childe.
Night 26
The plan went as planned. It was telling the others that didn't go so well. Lorelei was absolutely furious at me. And stupid me tried to get my point across to her. I think she used some kind of power cause she gave me one look and it sent me running. Telling her looked like a bad thing to do now that I think about it. But I had really wanted her cooperation in getting the hell out of there.
It's as if no idea is good enough unless she comes up with it. Our "GOAL" was to collect information about the Sabbat not to sympathize with them. She blamed me of not thinking before getting caught up in things. And how could I have trusted Cassady. The best answer I could come up with was at least I was doing something. Lorelei didn't like that answer. Neither did she like the answer to why I wanted to get both Netlike and Anika killed.
I'm so confused. I never wanted to kill anybody before becoming Kindred, but then I never wanted to drink someone else's blood either.
Kalina was the maddest. She threatened to haunt me. I don't know what that means but it doesn't sound good.
I saw Anika's body. It was pretty bad. I still don't think I was wrong in the deal that I made. But I'm beginning to think I should.
Through all the chaos we went to Devno's to see if we could kidnap him. Again I say it's only a good idea if Lorelei thinks of it first. But something was wrong with Devno. Ok well something was always wrong with Devno. It was as if he was plugged into a network. But the thing is if he is unplugged he dies. And there was no way we could transport a network that wasn't there. So it remains to be seen that Devno is staying in New York.
But we-Lorelei, Kalina, and I are going back to St. Louis. Hopefully Nicodemus doesn't kill us as Lorelei keeps reminding me. I'm just hoping we get some answers and that we don't get killed.
