I come to consciousness slowly, as I sit up in bed and look around everything that happened to me yesterday and I bury my face in my hands and quietly sob to myself but a notice from down stairs and suddenly anger burns away my sorrow and disgust at what happened, looking around my room I see no one so I slowly and as quietly as possible I put on some clothes, once im dressed I grab my handgun that I keep by the side of my bed once its in the open I check and double check my SIG p220, after I have confirmed my weapon is loaded and ready to go I slowly move down the stairs breathing shallowly and stepping on the stairs so slowly so that nothing creaks.
After getting to the bottom of that stairs I stop to listen where the voice is coming from and begin moving again, moving though the sitting room I see my blood and torn clothes on the floor and I swallow back a sob and keep moving, entering the kitchen I see someone sitting with his back to me and he is on the phone and not paying attention to me, so I move closer and place the barrel of my SIG to the back of his head as I growl out.
Ellie
"Who in the seven hells are you?"
Stranger three
"Im nice!"
As he squeaks that out, I hear laughter from his phone even though it's not on loudspeaker, I push the barrel harder in to the back of his head, the person on the phone says something to him and he raises his free hand in the air and asks.
Stranger three
"im going to put the phone on load speaker then im going to put both hands up okay?"
Ellie
"do it so fucking slowly that even James May seems fast!"
He snorts a laugh and put the phone on speaker then slowly places it down on the island in my kitchen, I move round the island so I can get a better look at him from what I can see over the counter he is about five foot eleven with an average build with messy light blonde hair, his eyes are a rich hazel brown, he is wearing a navy blue polo shirt with a tattoo of a hawk in flight on his forearm, my examination of the man in front of me is interrupted by the man speaking on the phone
Alex
"greetings Miss Starsgaurd my name is Alexander King but you can call me Alex"
Ellie
"I don't really care about your name I want answers"
Alex
"and you will get them I am driving down the road now and will be with you soon for now allow me to introduce you to the nice guy"
Stranger three
*humph*" you're not going to let me live that down"
Ellie
"why the hell are you coming here I have had enough of strange men barging into my house"
Alex
"well, that's the thing I have some things for you, anyway the guy you are holding at gun point is called Quince or just Q, he is my assistant and friend, so if you would refrain from shooting him that would be much appreciated, as he did kind of save your life"
Ellie
��I kind of wish he didn't"
Q
"ah yeah, erm, I hope you don't mind but I did move you to your room to begin the change and recover"
Just then the throaty roar of a make of car that I am familiar with makes its way up my driveway, I scowl at Q and put the safety on my gun and place it on the counter next to me and a man in a three peace suit walks in to my sitting room and moves towards the kitchen, as he dose I check him out he is six foot one give or take, the suit is charcoal grey with a salmon pink shirt underneath his tie is a deep sea blue, moving to his face his has a strong jaw with carefully maintained stubble, his eyes are a ice blue, and finally he has a classic crew cut hair which is a jet back, he flashes his pearly whites when he notices me looking at him, and I snap my gaze away from his face and my eyes see what he is carrying in his hand in one hand is a pair of aviator sunglasses and in the other is what seems to be a cool box.
He makes it to the kitchen and places the box on the island next to Q and takes a seat next to him, the whole time he is doing this his eyes never leave mine, so I inch my hand closer to my Sig as stealthily as I can, but it does not escape his notice, he smiles and turns to Q and starts the conversation.
Alex
"Q take a bag out and put it in a thermos, after all I bet Miss Starsgaurd is starving"
Q
"yeah, am I putting one in for each of us as well, after all no one likes to eat alone"
Q takes what looks like three bags of blood from the box and some thermoses as he cuts the corners of the bags, I feel something move in my mouth and I begin salivating at the smell that hits my nose, when I realise what is happening, I recoil and cover my mouth with my hand, Alex notices and nods as he speaks.
Alex
"as you have noticed, that is blood, and you are now longer completely human"
Ellie
"yeah, right and the guy next door is a werewolf"
Alex
"actually, he is human, but I can see how you would think that he is rather hairy"
Q
"here is your drink"
Q places a thermos in front of me, and I lean forward to sniff the drink, I look up and see Alex and Q taking a deep drink from their flasks, swallowing the saliva that has built up in my mouth I hesitatingly take a sip, a moan escapes my lips and I finish the flask in three big gulps, I lick my lips to gather up the little that escaped my lips as I drank and I feel my new fangs as I do, once I put the flask down I use my fingers to probe my mouth to feel my fangs, I look up to the two men, no vampires in front of me, Q looks horrified and grabs my flask and fills it up again, Alex begins speaking again.
Alex
"right now, you see I am not misleading you; I will explain what is going on, now where to start"
Q places my now refilled flask in front of me and places a few blood bags within easy reach so I can refill it myself, I nod in thanks as I pay attention to Alex.
Alex
"right okay, we are vampires as you now know the two you bumped into last night are rogues or a gang, they are not part of the law abiding vampire society and as suck are hunted by us and the human vampire hunters now don't get me wrong the vampire hunters hunt us as well but not as much, you where bitten and because you managed to drink some of his blood you began to turn, if he managed to completely drain you, you would of died and not turned but nice gut here was already hot on their heels so Laz, he is the leader of their gang by the way, didn't finish what he started, thankfully you successfully turned in to a vampire, but that is only the start of the problems you might face now you are a member of the fanged community"
Ellie
"I have a few questions if that's okay?"
Alex
"sure, go ahead"
Ellie
"okay, do I get a velvet cape? What are the downsides to being a blood sucker? What are the upsides?"
Alex
*snort*"no you don't get a cape anymore, there are a few, we are weaker in the sunlight but still about the strength of a normal human, we don't die if we come in contact with a holy artifact but it dose causes us discomfort but moving away from it stops that, destroying the heart or removing the head kills us just like it would kill anything else, if we are impaled by a stake we become paralyzed until it is removed then we will start healing, as for the upsides at night we are faster and stronger than humans we can heal from most things we cant regrow limbs but we can reattach them, and we all get a unique gift from the magic that turns us for example I can shadow walk and Q can turn in to a hawk, you might get almost anything from begin able to turn in to smoke or read minds.
Ellie
"how or when will I find out?"
He look at his phone and then looks up you will get a hint after midnight tonight so in a few minutes.
