Chapter 14 - petty stones

"what's wrong why are you getting pissed out " following behind Vernon's back."that isn't a problem how about we go hunting, you drink while I settle for the meat".

"you must be delusional to think that I would want to go hunting with you, if I want blood I can get it myself" He clicked his tongue.

"Well pardon me for trying to share my good thought, you know I was looking out for you so that you don't go on a rampage because of blood".

Vernon laugh out as of he heard a joke. "Tobias can you refresh your mind to remember when last Lionel looked out for someone other than himself".

The two pairs of eyes were now focused on Tobias waiting for his response "Uh.... Uh... "he stuttered.

"poor Tobias can't recollect, so please when blabbing pick a line that suits your personality".

Lionel glared at Tobias the blockhead did not know when to speak when his opinion was needed, receiving the look from the werewolf Tobias turn to face the garden if he was granted the ability to disappear he would have to do it as he was also the one caught up in their controversy.

Lionel wanted to enter the carriage when Vernon stopped him "Ride with Tobias I have some work to attend to " holding the door handle of the carriage and closing the door at Lionel's face.

A carriage rode with the coachman galloping holding the reins of the horse loosely. Having not slept for the days because of the journey from Bongrove to Preston. He was tempted to shut his eyes a bit as the with cool breeze blew.

Vernon's carriage came the opposite path of the road when the coachman saw the driver of the other carriage come in front as the coachman appeared to be asleep his eyes broadened trying to avoid hitting the carriage he pulled the reins of the horse attempting to stop the carriage but as he saw that the other carriage was not going to stop he pulled the carriage to the left hitting the trees with great force.

The impact was much that Vernon was thrown forward and back to the cushion seat gripping the window to gain his balance.

Getting out of the carriage to see what happened he strolled to the driver's seat. "are you tired to get us killed James look at the damage you caused". As the wheels came off.

Bringing himself from the shock of almost dying he looked at his master "Sorry master I was trying to avoid the incoming carriage from slamming into us ".he gave him an apologetic look.

Finally, noticing the carriage he walked towards it not happy with the damage in his carriage.

The coachman with a confused look on his face not knowing what was happen as he snapped out of his slumber when he heard a loud noise. The owner of the carriage got out holding a wooden box furrowed his brows.

"Are you dumb don't you know how to ride a vehicle" Vernon gushed out.

"locus what happened, " the owner asked with calmness in his voice.

He got down and kneeled on the ground covered with Mudd "Forgive me master it was my fault as I closed my eyes for a second and did not see the carriage coming" he pleaded rubbing his hand together.

"It's okay locus the journey must have taken a toll on you I should have given you a break".

"I hate to interrupt in the touching moment but how are you going to compensate me for the damaged caused and what vehicle am I going to use to get to my destination mmm" Vernon butted in.

"I apologize for my coachman's carelessness "The man bowed his head.

"your apology is not going to fix my carriage and not get me anywhere" he resorted.

"you can take my carriage my coachman will take you to where ever you need to go".the man suggested.

"hell no, am not taking any chances with that coachman man of yours".

"I promise he will be careful right locus," he asked his coachman.

"but master how are you going to arrive at Portogar" he worried and sked.

"I know my way around just concentrate on getting the gentleman to his location and meet me there".the patted his shoulder"Untied my bag for me".

"yes, master " He ran to the back of the carriage untied the luggage, and brought the bag he asked for.

Taking it for him he hung it on his shoulder he looked at Vernon and apologize again. Wanting to walk away when stopped him as he raised his hands indicating him to stop.

"who is going to pay for the repairs of my carriage mister".

The man's mouth form an o, removing the bag from his shoulder while putting the box under his armpits he brought out a pouch and handed it to Vernon "I hope this will cover the cost".

"let's hope so" taking it from him. Calling James he told him to go to the nearest village and find some assistance so he can fix the wheels.

Currently seating in the carriage headed to the holy park he took out his pocket watch that was reading four minutes pasted three, great he was late.

Reaching the holy park incurs time strode in the small streets filled with mostly vampires. The holy Park was like a mini market where illegal things were sold and transported, you could even all kinds of human parts, potions, and many more things that society frown on as rules don't apply in this part of town. here if you could just find the right person you can get what where you are looking for.

Taking his time to pause and find the person he was here for when he heard his name he turned to the side to see who it was.

"Vernon " a vampiress with sharp features appearing to be likely to be twenty years old or so. Putting on a yellow grown emphasizing her breast, Holding a fan in her hand as she walked towards him with a servant behind her carrying some bags she was following her mistress sharp on her toes not wanting to be a rep reprimanded.

"Anastasia what are you doing in this part of town little girl like yourself should be seen at tea parties not here," he said with a charming smile.

She spouted out with a spoiled voice "am here to run some errands for Father since his health is down".

"how is he doing". A little bit concern.

"better than before, you've not come to visit since my brother left "

"council duties they can't just get enough of me". He then said, "For some whose father is sick you are glowing and all dolled up and going shopping too".

A shade of red appeared on the chick blushing "have to look beautiful so that he knows that his daughter is doing well ".

"that's your way of showing him by spending his money that's an odd way".

She shrugged her shoulder "Everyone has their way of doing things, enough of me let's talk about you like what are you doing here".

"there's not to talk about as you can see am here to buy something".

"Like what " she tried acting sweet.

"that's for me to know and for you to move along bye" leaving her alone.

On seeing Vernon, he was relieved since he was already packing up. Bending down he opened a chest and brought out a box he place it on the table. "they arrived this morning ".

Vernon opened the lid of the box to check what was in it. The box contains different layers of stones with different colors closing it back. He asked the merchant "It's of the same stuff right".

The man nodded his head. Vernon picked up the box and left dropping the coins the stranger gave him to fix his carriage.
