"I apologize for what happened, am sorry please" she bowed her head in shame
He only nodded. Bellezza wasn't satisfied at all, it seemed Erebos was still angry with what her mom did. She had to look for a way to make things right. This was not going well at all.
"Do you mind, if I come to see you the day after tomorrow?" She asked.
"W-what…me? He stammered.
"Yeah your place. My house is not convenient at as long as mom is around"
"Oh, if you are okay with it Then, it fine" he finally agreed.
"Your contact please?"
"My phone has an issue but, you can wait for me under that tree" he pointed at it. The tree was not too far from her house. She remembered the night her mom was sick. Bellezza stay under that tree waiting for an ambulance to take them to the hospital.
"By what Time?" She asked like a police officer.
"By this time tomorrow, I won't be late and don't be too" he said.
"I won't" She promised and waved at him.
Erebos was a cute and gentle fellow. She wondered why her mother couldn't see such a magnificent quality in him.
***
When Erebos got home in the evening. He found both Vanessa and Sam where he left. It seemed that, they didn't have move an inch after he left the house in the morning.
Immediately, they saw him, they all stood up with their questioning eyes, waiting for answers to them.
But, Erebos was going to disappoint them today. He went out in the morning with the urge to kill Bellezza. Now he was back with a hope of being her friend because only she could help him.
"How did it go?" Vanessa asked eagerly.
"Fine" Erebos replied avoiding her gaze.
"At least we don't have much worry. Our secret are safe" she sat back gently with a smile.
"You think the humans aren't wise? They are going to start investigation and sooner or later, the autopsy is going to show that, an animal killed her" Sam chimmed in.
"Are you calling me an animal?" The Erebos eyes widened. Sam was being disrespectful again, he has forgotten that Erebos was three hundred and twenty six years older than him.
"No... You misunderstood me bro" He said.
Sam stood up from the chair, he was sitting. His cousin wasn't going to spare him, so he got ready and prepared to run.
Erebos wanted to chase him but he stopped. He had to tell them the truth, there was a serious matter on ground leading to the necklace, Bellezza wore. If they don't get it first, then doom shall be their badges at the end if the day.
"I didn't kill the girl" he said with his eyes shut. They were going to be disappointed especially Vanessa. She was going to pour her anger right in front of him, without thinking twice. But, it was better that way than for her to go look for trouble outside.
"You love joking around this Erebos. What did you mean by not killing her" she asked.
"I didn't kill her. How many times do you want to hear?" He looked at his companion. Her face was reddened, with brows furrowed in rage and confusion.
Erebos went closer and wrapped his hands around her. He wanted her to clam down, now was not the time to be angry or to fight. Some thing big was coming their way and they needed to be ready for it.
"Am sorry my love. But you should understand that each step I take in life, I think twice about it" he apologized.
"I must say, you took the right step bro" Sam accepted his decision without knowing what it was. Erebos understood that he wanted to make Vanessa more furious than she was now.
"Don't be stupid old man. We need to talk as a family, so be serious" .
"What is it you want to talk about?" Vanessa asked. She looked like a wounded lioness who had no choice than to endure her wounds for the sake of her Cubs.
"I saw the necklace of the first vampire today" he voiced out at last.
"What do you mean by that Erebos" Vanessa asked.
"The old necklace of blood. It made from the blood of the first vampire, my uncle's blood. I mean Erebos 'father" Sam replied.
"Wait , I don't get it..."
"Its was made from my father's blood, a fur of a werewolf and witch's bone. The necklace was made by an ancient witch to send the super naturals away from the human world Erebos interrupted.
"It's has so much powers. Any supernatural who wears can use it to control the entire race of the super naturals" Sam explained further .
"Also, the necklace can be used by a witch to clear the entire vampire race" he continued.
"Wow... That's scary" Vanessa was afraid of dying. Being a vampire was fun, until now.
"Yes, its more scary because without that necklace Erebos 'father will never wake up from his sleep" Sam added.
"Then where did you see this necklace and why haven't you taken it?" Vanessa asked.
"I saw the necklace with Bellezza. It was on her neck Erebos"
"What? Her neck!" Vanessa exclaimed. "You should have killed her in the first place. The necklace would have been ours by now."
"I can't just kill her. What if she is witch? Or a wolf?we can't start that will take everyone down" Erebos gave his reasons.
"It's better we find out , what she is .. before us too late to weep" Sam concluded.
Erebos was determined to find what type of supernatural being Bellezza was. How come she had such a necklace! Who was her grandmother and the relationship she had with the ancient witch, Ciya.
