"What do you mean, they're traitors?! Darla and I sired the two brothers personally! And now they dare betray us?" Angelus yelled.
"Master, it wasn't our fault. They stole a van to escape the fight. We were trying to stop them, but then we lost sight of them when they went over the city. We couldn't get close enough to grab them in time." said a long-haired vampire.
Angelus grabbed a hold of his collar and leaned close to his face with a fearsome expression.
"Listen here. I don't want to hear another word from you, or any of your kind, unless I ask for you specifically. Do you understand me?" he asked.
"Yes, sir, but he said they will cast a spell to reconnect to her soul," he quivered.
"I will not let them to ensoul Drusilla once again. I will slaughter those fools just like I killed those Kalderash clansmen who cursed Drusilla to gain a soul. And if you know so much as to see either Matt or TK, they won't walk out the door alive. I am going to hunt them down and make sure they never come within ten miles of this place again. If you fail me again, I swear to god I'll send someone else after you." he tossed the vampire to the floor.
"You are dismissed." he snarled.
Angelus left and walked down the hall. He found himself standing next to the wall where Darla crossed her arms and looked down at him, clearly upset with what he had done.
"You know, it would have been a lot easier to catch those idiots if you hadn't let them go." she grumbled angrily.
"Sorry love, but we can't let them ensoul Drusilla again. They will find a ritual for soul restoration," he said. "They might even get her to consent before we find them and put an end to their existence as we know it. We need to destroy the spell first, to ensure the safety of my Childe. It's only fair that they will be punished for everything that they have done," he answered, his guilt clear on his face.
Darla placed her hands side of his face and caressed the sides of his cheek with one hand. "We will stop them, Angelus. Together. No matter what it takes, we will kill those bastards who betrayed us," she whispered. She pressed her lips against his and kissed him passionately.
After a moment, Angelus pulled away, his eyes filled with lust for her. He leaned back towards the wall and wrapped his arms around her waist. After several minutes of slow kissing and gentle groping, Angelus broke away slightly to look into her eyes.
"You're right, love. We will kill them all," he sighed dreamily as he continued to stare into her eyes.
Darla smiled and returned his gaze. "Now come along," she said, pulling his head closer by his hair. "I believe we have some unfinished business," she smirked.
*Meanwhile*
SPICE MOTEL OKINAWA - 11:53 PM
A man in his 60s was reading the newspaper in his recliner chair when he heard a bell chime through the door. He stood up, walked to the front desk, and saw two boys walking to the receptionist area.
"Welcome to The Spice Motel! How can I help you?" he asked.
"We'd like to spend three nights in a room," said Matt.
"Preferably one with a hot tub?" TK added.
The receptionist smiled at the boys. They were cute, if a bit young for each other. "I believe we have rooms that are available. We have a red one if you like. There is one queen bed that is enough to share. And you can choose which one has the hot tub."
TK raised his eyebrows. It wasn't often they had guests over; the last couple of times were a family of four from out of town. This time, though, it looked like TK would get to stay in the same room with his brother.
"We'll take it," said TK.
"Alright, that'll be 6,021.20 yen, please," said the receptionist.
Matt had the money from the glove compartment when they attacked the vampires and stole the van. He paid him for the room and the old men gave them a key.
"Here you go. Enjoy your stay," the old man smiled at them.
They thanked the old man and they went upstairs to their new room. TK unlocked the door first and they entered. This room was all red. Red wall, red carpet, a queen bed with a red comforter.
TK loved red and this room was perfect.
"This looks great!" TK exclaimed as he took off his jacket and shirt. "Let's take our shoes off, too."
TK removed his shoes and socks, and then Matt did the same. They sat down on the edge of the bed and they needed time to relax. TK stretched his arms high above his head before sitting back. He turned sideways so that he could look at Matt. He reached out and put an arm around his brother, who leaned against him. They stayed like that for a while, just listening to the quiet sound of traffic outside.
"So, what are we going to stay in a motel, TK? The stores are closed at night and we don't have new clothes to wear. Plus, the soaps are too tiny to wash our bodies entirely." said Matt.
"We'll go shopping the next night. We have money now. And besides, we have to save Drusilla. Her soul had been removed and now she went insane. She went back to her old gang and killed them. She's going to kill more people and I want to stop her before she descends deeper into Darkness." said TK.
"You're right, we have to rescue her. But how are you able to stop Angelus if you can't even fight him, TK? You have no idea what it's like to be evil." said Matt.
"Yeah, but I'm far stronger now," replied TK. "With this power, I will find a way to stop Angelus. He is no match for me because I'm a Bearer of Hope."
"I wish my powers were better than yours, TK. Maybe I could be like you or even better than you then." said Matt.
TK smiled, "You have power, Matt. Vampires have those abilities, too. If you ever need a weapon or some training, I'll teach you how to use that power."
Matt chuckled. "Thanks, TK."
"No problem. You already have all the fighting skills you need." said TK.
TK pecked Matt on the lips while his eyes widened in surprise. TK broke the kiss and laughed softly.
"Come on, let's sleep. Tomorrow we'll go shopping and training together. We have to get stronger," said TK.
The brothers got under the covers and fell asleep until the next day came.
3 WEEKS LATER
The day was a rough day, Davis took the textbook out of his locker and sighed as he closed it. He wasn't in a good mood today, and with how tired he seemed, that may not be the best thing to do. He lost his friends Matt and TK were killed by a gang of vampires.
It was hard for him after the incident, even now when he's almost over it, the memories still sting, like a bad cut. There would be times when the only thing that made him feel better would be his parents hugging him and telling him to get some rest. It wasn't easy being on your own but he knew they were gone.
He walked to English class and sat at his desk waiting for the bell to ring. He felt eyes on Kari when she was looking sad, he could tell she missed her friends, too. They weren't close, but he knew he cared for Kari a lot. The teacher began to lecture so he tuned in, listening closely. As soon as the bell rang he packed up his stuff and left. At the cafeteria, he grabbed himself a sandwich and then sat down on a bench away from everyone. After finishing off the sandwich, he decided that the last two periods might be more interesting. He pulled out his phone and checked Twitter, scrolling through the posts.
When the last bell rang, he packed up his bag and walked back to class. After school, Davis met up with Kari in front of the locker area, and they both headed home. Their walk to their apartment was quiet. They hugged each other and separated to say goodbye to each other.
When he got home, Davis put his stuff down before going to his room. He turned on his PS5 and clicked the Netflix app to watch the show to relax his mind. He sighed as he lay down on his bed, his feet dangling over the edge. The door opened and Jun sat next to him on the bed, putting her book to the side before laying down herself, snuggling into her pillow.
"You okay, D?" she asked.
"Yeah, I'm fine." He said.
Jun sighed, "It's been rough, hasn't it? It's been three weeks since Matt and TK are gone. It's just us."
"I miss them," Davis said. "But you're right."
Jun looked at him as if she wanted to continue, she sighed before getting up, "Well, there are cookies in the kitchen, I'll make you some tea if you want."
Davis nodded as Jun left his bedroom, heading towards the kitchen. He resumed watching his show. He heard his phone chimed when he grabbed it. It was Tai that sent him a message.
"Hey, Davis. I just wanted to let you know that Whistler is out of the hospital. He's alright. Blade is with him. So we have to meet them at the hideout tomorrow."
Davis replied, "Alright, at what time?"
"6PM and be ready," said Tai.
"Okay, I'll meet you there." replied Davis.
