The thought of a vampire enjoying being out at night was very logical. His kind was known for their bad tolerance to the sun and all of the fictional stories stated clearly that you would either burn to death or sparkle to blindness if you were exposed under the bright ball of fire in the sky.
Kai though was a pureblood vampire. One of the few that had left and that meant that his blood was superior to simply turned vampires or half bloods. The vampire kind, same as with the werewolves had been created from a curse cast by a witch. So the truth was that being a pureblood simply meant that your family was the one that got cursed first, Kai viewed it more as an embarrassment rather than an honor. Nonetheless being a pureblood meant having some advantages compared to the others. He could walk in the sun and he could last a longer period without feeding.
Now back to the reason why Kai didn't want to be out during the night. It was exactly because the stories were true. Vampires did go out the late hours and he did not want to risk meeting someone of his own kind. He preffered staying at home and watching movies and usually he made sure to get him early. It wasn't just the vampires. Some cities that were close to the country side or a big forest had werewolves packs that liked to go out and play during the night, especially when there was a full moon and the fear of monster hunters was always there wherever he traveled. The truth was that he always had to be very careful. He always investigated before he moved places and this one was supposed to be cleared off werewolves. Lun and a pack somewhere they weren't supposed to be meant trouble.
So he returned back home and changed his clothes. For a second he had hoped that Lun would have written down the address to a hotel or maybe an apartment but his hopes were fruitless, like always. He searched on the internet and realized that the place he was supposed to meet him was a night club. As he read it on the screen of his laptop he sighed, rubbing his temples. That was so Lun of him, he shouldn't have expected anything else. He had changed, that wouldn't mean his best friend would have too.
He took a shower and fixed his hair. He didn't style it back like he always did. This time he let the longer front hair fall messily on his forehead in an attempt to hide slightly his face. He dressed in black, intending to blend in to the fullest. A black pair of pants and a black turtle neck with a coat on top just to pretend he was protecting himself from the cold. He got ready hours earlier and when the time was right he left his apartment with a frown on his face, calling a cab and getting to the address on the small paper.
Who was he kidding? Was there even a way someone like him would simply lay low? First of all he was at least two heads taller from everyone else in the line for the night club. Second of all the moment he had stepped outside the cab all eyes were suddenly on him, making him anxious. There was a time he enjoyed his beauty, he loved the stares and the attention. Now, he simply considered it a drag and an inconvenience. Third of all the moment Lun appeared, handsome as hell and grabbed him inside even more people started staring. He clicked his tongue, locking angry blue eyes with everyone that stared at him making them look away in embarrassment.
«I didn't think you'll come.» he told him. The club was huge and Lun was holding his hand, guiding him through the dancing crowd and taking him to the back. There was a higher part where couches and small short tables were laid out. One area even had a red roped cutting the entrance to any unwanted guests. A man that stood on the side let them pass and they sat down. He could smell the sweat and alcohol. The music was loud making his blood vibrate and the lights changes colors so easily he couldn't focus.
«Well, I almost met with a pack of wolves so I guessed it must have to do something with that» Kai said. He didn't have to scream so his friend would listen to him. Their hearing was excellent and their vision was simply superb. Even in a darkness like this they could clearly see each other's faces.
«You are indeed too smart my friend» Lun told him when a waitress in high heels approached them. She was holding a silver tray with a bottle of whiskey and two glasses. She gracefully placed it on there table and Kai stared at the golden brown liguor as Lun served him a glass.
«I don't drink.» Kai said.
«Yes you do.»
«Not anymore» he told him and Lun chuckled. He didn't tell him to drink as he took the first sip from his own glass. He simply left the glass in front of him and stared at him with a grin.
«Well you will drink in a bit. I mean you will need it after you hear everything.»
«What happened?» Kai asked him. Lun's usually playful fave turned serious, his eyes landing on his friend's face before he spoke.
«I had been searching for you. The truth is though that I did not come to the human realm for that. I was sent by your family»
«To do what?»
«There have been some peculiar cases lately. Vampires that live with humans disappearing. The crown asked me to investigate it and it wasn't that hard for me to find out what happened. Kai, there is a wolf pack, they have been traveling cities and trapping vampires. They torture them for fun and when they are bored they kill them and sell their blood to witches. You need to be very careful. We haven't managed to catch them yet but I do think they are here, you telling me you found a few wolves…»
«I did but I didn't see their faces. So you think the pack is here, searching to capture vampires?» Kai asked him and Lun nodded while his lips touched the glass. The cold alcohol traveled through his mouth making him hiss.
«Yes. I need your help to stop them but…the pack…»
«What about it?»
«The pack is Moonshine, Kai.» Lun told him. The vampire's eyes widened and his chest tightened. There was no actual heart beating there but still he could feel the pain.
«No, no, it can't be…»
«It's Moonshine» Lun stated again and Kai's hand found easily the glass of whiskey that was waiting on the table. He gulped it down in one gone and in a second he had refilled his glass.
Lun was right, he did need it.
