Shea tried to walk to the stairs to get a glimpse of the man. The process was stopped when she felt a sudden pull from behind. She looked back to see a huge man pulling her back grabbing her hand. She whined while struggling to get out of his grip. She pulled her hands and stared at the man while her vampire self started to show out.
"Leave me." She whisper shouted at the man and he just glared back.
She let go off her struggle and looked back to the stairs to see a tall man walking down the stairs surrounded by men who were in tuxedos. The man himself wearing a black t-shirt which was accompanied by a brown puffed jacket. His whole body covered under rich material he wore.
Shea checked the man from head to toes and all she could see was his outfit. He had long fringes which had covered his eyes and the mask he wore covered the rest of his face. His long straight brown hair with mullet is that all she could get hold off.
"Have you told her?" The man asked Brian in a very low tone which Shea could obviously hear.
"No." Brian mouthed back.
Shea made a confused face and looked back to see those men in cassock walking close to her from all sides not leaving her a space to escape. She started feeling dizzy as all the blood scent rushed into her system all of a sudden. She immediately checked for her mask from pocket but had no luck. She had lost it somewhere.
"Dont come close." Shea protested while keeping her hands out in defensive position.
"Hey, listen here." The man spoke and his voice dominated the entire room making others flinch.
"Who are you? What do you want?" Shea asked glaring at the man.
"Those are the few questions which you wouldnt want to know the answer to.
"What do you mean by that? You cant hold me back here without telling me the answer to atleast one of my question." She declared hands folded.
"She is really going to be a pain in the ass." The man told Brian while the other man just nodded.
"Shea? Isnt that your name? The man asked her.
"So?" She snapped back
"Call me master. You will work for me from now." He announced on his own.
"W-what?" She asked as she choked on her own saliva.
"Take her to the room." The man told his guard and walked out to the front door.
He walked past her and the small change in the air made her realize the scent. The same scent from the basketball stadium. The same scent which made her curious. The same scent which made her curious. The scent that can make her lose control, the scent that can make her go back to those days.
"What are you?" Shea asked once again but they didnt seem to hear it or maybe because her voice didnt come out.
She let her get dragged away by those men. Her throat had dried completely and the thought of the very same man being her Tan scared her. She never want to se him this way, as a Mafia. But if he is Tan, then he is the leader of the gang. Even his voice seemed different that Shea couldnt recognize it. She was frustrated beyond limit and her only choice was to stay back and find out the truth. She looked back while being dragged away and found they had already left.
"Where are you guys dragging me?" She asked pulling her hands away with some of her force.
Those men looked at her in confusion seeing the power she had that their hands were immediately pushed away. They grabbed her again and dragged her behind ignoring the curse words which she have been spitting. The walk ended in front of a big door at the end of the hall way.
Another man from behind walked in with a key. The huge metal lock was unlocked and the door opened wide enough that she could see the big room which basic necessities. She looked back those men who just pushed her in and locked the door.
"What the hell?" Shea screamed and banged on the door hard for them to open it.
There was no hope as she couldnt even hear their breath outside, they had left already. She sighed and looked around the room which looks more like a hostage camp. The place where people would be held as hostages to obey their masters. At the end, they all receive a reward which will be death. Shea knew that even she was going to face the same destiny like some ordinary human.
"Why did I even get on Brian? I should have listened to Mrs.Sung." Shea sat beside the huge bed which was decorated with a grey puffy blanket and sheets.
It would be a lie if we say that the room was too bad for a hostage because it literally had everything that a person needs to survive for an year. She laid her head on her laps which was lifted to her chest. She looked at the door to see if there is any way she could go out. She didnt want to escape but her frustration was beyond limit as she couldnt see the face of the man. What can his name be?
She lazily moved herself and accidently her leg hit something which made a small clack. She flinched at the sudden sound as her hands automatically went to her chest. She kneeled down and peeked under the bed to see what it was. It was a metal trunk which looked really old and rusted.
Shea pulled it out from under the bed without making any noise. She looked at the trunk but to be exact she stared at it as if she wants to suck its blood. She noticed some ancient writings in it as if it was one of an architectural piece of work. The picture of a dragon which was spitting fire and a sphere which passed right through its chest and liquid spreading around which most probably will be indicating the blood.
