The roots-like veins that seemed to move slowly as if trying to relocate themselves. These roots-like veins happened to Pop up not more than 3 years ago, they were fady like but now, they seem to pop up on the skin and they show up so much. Nathan hands turned to fists, trying to hold back the pain that was happening. He felt as if someone was stabbing the fresh wound and rotates the knife. It was too much pain that he couldn't take it at his current state.
He unleashed his power that he has been avoiding to use them for decades for the veins like - roots to disappear but nothing happened, it only added the pain. He got on his knees, his eyes changed colour, from his dark eyes to completely darker and then shifted to red, and then gold.
He graoaned in pain, he stood up and went straight to his bed. He opened the drawer and took out a small bottle that contained the sleeping pills and poured many pills on his hand and swallowed them in an instance without hesitate.
He slowly lied his body to the bed with the pain still lingering on his back much more than at his abs. Slowly after several minutes he dripped to his sleep and soon the each and every day's same nightmare started.
He was standing in the dark, were he wore a white suit and he was calling for someone and he couldn't hear what he was saying but he could tell that he was angry, frustrated, irritated , he was in rage, pain, lonely and lost. He started to have the nightmare ever since the last time he remembers and its always the same thing. The past hunts him and it won't let go of him untill he succeed on what he needs to find, that's what he believes in.
At a very morning, Nathan stumbled out of bed, he has been awake for hours now. He went straight to the bathroom and freshen up. After taking a bath, he went straight to his large closet that allows him to walk in that displays his many outfits. He took out his boxer, dark jeans and put them on and continued search for the shirt.
He reached the row were shirts were located and when he came across a white shirt he observed it and remembered the mysterious girl that he met lately the other day. He shook his head he couldn't believe himself that his thinking about that woman right now.
He went straight ahead and took a crew neck t-shirt and put it on. After finishing he went downstairs stairs and met his buddies were ready, they were dressed casually too. In each and every weekend they went out to find some of the details that you can't find while sitting around the fancy home and hope for the great news to follow you. They had to go to the streets where they could collect many informations and any other follow ups due to that, getting information through phone costs them, they once faced an attack due to the hacker that poppes up in every social security nowadays.
" Looking good buddy.... did you slept well?" asked Ace, he was the young of all. Since Ace, Rocky, Axel and Faith were vampires, they lived for a few decades.
Everyone shot there eyes at Ace and like he was insane " what?!.... I'm trying to know if he's kicking, right Faith?" Faith rolled her eyes at the Ace and folded her hands across her chest. Faith wore a black cargo and with a peach cropped hoodie and white sneakers and her hair were tied up in a pony tail. Axel wore a blue jeans and a black denim with boots. Ace wore, chino and a white shirt with a binnie and white sneakers.
" As always Ace" he gave him a small smile that went unnoted. He asked Rocky " did the girl contacted you?"
A girl?, everyone seemed surprised " ooooh!... no no she hasn't because we forgot to gave her the contact info " his lips twitched into a smile at the think of the Lady he met yesterday.
They all observed Rocky and gave him the question look. Nathan walked to the kitchen and started to make coffee and a toast.
Axel leaned as if he was whispering and ace along with Faith followed " care to explain the girl that you are talking about?" Axel asked, Ace and Faith nodded agreeing to get the explanations clearly. " Oh don't worry about that" Rocky grinned at the eager and disapproval looks that they gave him.
" I can't believe you and Nathan, are hiding things from us " Ace said and he dramatically taped his chest to indicate that he was hurt.
Faith sighed " came on there buddy..... now Rocky, spill it out" They turned their serious face to Rocky, this time shows that they want a very clear explanations.
" Ok ok ok! Jeez, it's like you want to eat me alive, I'll say it....." Rocky sighed " it was yes----" came Nathan " we gotta go guys, time is ticking" while watching his wrist watch.
Rocky tried to hold the laughter, he turned his head and saw the way they looked at him and he shrugged his shoulders. They both stood up from the black sofas and went outside Nathan's house.
The weather was clear, the end of winter season and the beginning of spring. The beautiful season where the flower blooms and the smooth lovely weather.
They got out of the house and outside, just on the front door, the Jeep Wrangler was packed. Ace opened the front passenger door for Nathan to get in while Axel took the driver seat. Faith, Ace and Rocky sat at the back seats and soon the car started and they left the mansions.
On their way to the city, silence was all in the car. No one talks about anything. Faith and Ace, were still glaring at Rocky who seem out of this world., he was enjoying the ride more than anyone else in the car.
Suddenly, Ace could not bear the silence and decided to break it. " Aren't we going to talk about this?" He watched as Axel watched him at the rearview mirror. " I mean, the girl that both you two have talked about today morning..... Nathan?!" Nathan pinched the bridge of his nose. If there could the competition of the curiosity in this world, Ace would take the lead for heavens sake, thought Nathan.
" What is it Ace?" asked Nathan. Ace is the youngest of the group even though he is 7 decades old.
" Oh come on!.... you and Rocky you've talked about the girl early today and you've really poked the beehive inside of me..... the girl, who is she?" He darted his eyes from Nathan to Rocky. " Come Nate, I've never seen you bed a woman before.... not that I've heard of actually, but dudes... are you hiding something that you can't share with us...." He gestured his hands to Alex and Faith "... your friends for the long lasting life?" Said Ace.
Rocky patted Ace's arm and said " it's just a mysterious girl and I know you would love her you were the one met her of course....". Nathan turned his head and watched Rocky and shook his head. " What's so good about that woman that makes you smile whenever you talk about her" Nathan asked in an irritated voice.
Rocky chuckled " oh come on Nathan..... she is cool, besides Lily was cute..... I mean beautiful, she just doesn't know it" Axel, Ace and Faith listened to the conversation closely.
Rocky continued " besides....who in hell would thought Nathan Walton would dare give a girl his shirt and change clothes Infront of her without any hesitation?!"
