We looked at him fully taken aback by his statement..
He repeated, "call Dalv over, only he can save her."
"Are you nuts?", Ruby said in shock.
"Listen, I am also not quite in favor of this idea. But we all know we can't take her to the human hospital, Ruby our finest healer can't save her. And most importantly we are running out of time. I am even not sure whether calling him would do us any good. But instead of wasting any more time, I think we should give it a go. I am game. What about you, Lee?" explained Hoong.
What he was saying was not completely wrong. We have already wasted 4 hours as it is.
"He is our best shot", I replied after thinking about Hoong's offer. "Lee you ring him up and ask him to come over."
Ruby started jumping, "you all are crazy, calling that monster is the last thing I want."
With this we all three started arguing.
Lee who was quite all this while banged his hand on the divan table and barked, "enough! I am not wasting any more useless words. We can all agree that calling Mr. Dalv is for the best now. I don't think he would answer to our request and come here at once. But if its for Florida I am betting everything. You three just shut up and stay here by her. I am going to the hall, to call him up. I don't have his personal number I will still try to reach him. Even I am not sure, whether he will answer his phone this early."
With this he left, shutting the door behind him.
The three of us sat on the either side of the bed with a huff.
Few minutes passed in silence, I was looking at Florida, still hoping that she would open her brown eyes and smile at us.
Ruby broke my thought. "This is bad you know? Calling that vampire is a bad news. What if he ignores us or worst he demands for something vile?"
I placed my palm over her shoulder and said, "calm down sis, Lee would try his best you know right. We all know that Vampires don't do anything for free and especially not Dalv who is one of the most ancient and powerful Vampire form the families of Earl. So, even if he does ask for something impossible in cost of saving Florida's life, we are in this together? Don't worry."
Ruby nodded, "I am not worried about us, its Florida I am worried about. What if he asks something from her in return?"
Hoong spoke, "don't worry. As long as we Elocossa's are in this together, nobody can touch us."
What felt like centuries thus adding to our worries, finally stopped with Lee coming in with a smile on his face. We all looked at him with hope in our eyes.
He broke out the news, "I could finally reach Mr. Dalv. He said, he will be here within an hour. His brother is also coming with him. As we have managed to get him here, I must warn you don't speak anything unnecessary or stupid in front of him. And I don't think I need to remind you why."
Lee went downstairs to wait by the door, Ruby rushed towards her chamber to collect fresh towels, medicines and other necessary things if needed, Hoong said he would prepare some ammunitions if something was to happen and I strayed by Florida's side.
After a while, I could hear the honk of a car, thus announcing their arrival. Ruby rushed inside the room and stood by her bed, I stayed where I was.
The room's door opened and two gentlemen walked in followed by Lee . With their arrival the atmosphere inside the room completely changed. Their persona was screaming; power, fame and money and something mysterious and cold.
One of the brother's extended his hand towards me and said, "Mr. Jung I presume? Dalv."
Although I knew who he was, I chose to remain silent and simply shook his hand.
Dalv is wearing a black shirt and white trousers. With 6 feet height, muscle-built body, chiseled jaw, roman nose, pale skin and hazel eyes he looked extremely handsome. Some of his hair touched his eyebrows, which he made no attempt to brush off. My eyes followed the other vampire.
Same height as his brother he too is quite handsome. He is wearing a yellow tee and jeans. His ivory skin, five o'clock shadow, brown hair, and navy blue eyes is an ideal description of a womanizer. If Ruby heard me saying this, she would have been amused.
This time, I extended my hand and said, "Jung, and this is my sister Ruby." Ruby smiled at them both but didn't shift an inch. I was proud of my sister for not ogling at them.
The guy shook my hand and said, "I am Doctor Kellan. I joined Dalv to help you out. Mr. Lee explained to us the situation over phone, now if you would step aside so that I can check on my patient without further ado."
The word 'patient' and his rude behavior made both Ruby and me grimace, but without reacting we stepped aside.
The vampires took a step closer to have a look at Florida, and as soon as their eyes fell on her both of them stepped back and their expressions became dark. Seeing them the three of us exchanged quick glances.
