“Don’t you have to go to work?” asked Dani.
Amanda didn’t say a word, with the expression on her face she didn’t have to. How could she leave Dani alone in the house with a stranger? And a night hunter at that.
She had never missed a day’s work though. Not even when her mother had passed away. Being a waitress it meant that she could swap shifts when needed, but how would she explain this one? ‘Please can I do a double tomorrow because my housemate found a beaten up night hunter and I’m afraid to leave her alone with him in case he eats her.’ Even saying it in her head, it sounded outrageous.
“I’ll be fine Amanda.” Said Dani as if reading her thoughts. “I’m sure I’ll still be in one piece when you get home. In fact I’ll probably be curled up in bed by the time you get back.”
“I wish I could be so sure.”
“Amanda, god damn it. Just go to work before you’re late.”
Amanda was about to argue with Dani when the sound of their doorbell made both girls jump. Dani hadn’t realised how on edge she was, but it wasn’t fear that was making her nervous, it was something else, something different.
“Its for you.” Amanda said to their still unknown guest as she came back. A tall man was following behind her, his long silver hair flowing over his shoulders, yet he didn’t look old enough for his hair to be colourless with age. His face was free from age. It was totally flawless, as if he had never had a worry in his life.
His oval face was pale and kind, but there was something about his smile, something sinister, and it made Amanda feel even more uneasy.
The men greeted each other and although their guest seemed relieved that the other man had arrived, he did not greet him with any warmth.
“I thank you both for your help last night and today.” Said their guest. “Now that my acquaintance has arrived I shall leave you both in peace.”
The other man stood casually against the doorframe with his arms folded, he seemed angry, but he was still smiling.
“Would you like a life to work?” the guest asked Amanda. “It’s the least we can do for putting you out and I also fear I may have made you late.”
Dani laughed inside. Amanda had shown nothing but fear and precaution when there was only one stranger in the house. There was no chance that she would get into a car with two men that she didn’t know.
“Thank you for the offer.” She said, “But I can get there myself.”
The guest nodded and smiled, he had known Amanda for such a short space of time, but already he knew how to interpret what she meant, not that her attitude had been hard to decipher.
**********
It wasn’t a pleasant atmosphere in the car. Lex could feel the tension in the air as he drove them home, but he still smiled pretending to not be listening.
It was a long time before wither one of them spoke and broke the silence.
“You were wrong to put me there. I do not wish to be part of her life. You can drug me as often as you like, but each time I will walk away.”
The boss leant forward in his seat. “You forget your place little one. My word and orders are binding, not even you may go against them.”
“And what will you do? Kill me? You need me too much to do that. There is nothing you can do to punish me; I have already lived through enough.”
A sneer took control of the bosses face. “If you do not obey me then what reason do I have to keep you alive? I may as well kill you.”
“I prey for death every day.”
Their faces were so close now, the slightest jerk of the car would have made them connect.
“You must do what is right for the Nosferatu. It is your obligation.”
“I cannot sacrifice her life.” He said.
The boss leant back and his face relaxed once again expressionless. “If you do not do this then you have condemned her to an awful death.” He said. “You will condemn us all to death. If I can find her so can Cowan and once he has her out of the way there will be no stopping him.”
“He may not find her; he may not even know she exists. What if it is I that leads him to her? She deserves a life. She deserves to remain in ignorant bliss to our world, the would that would destroy her.”
The boss was running out of options and that didn’t sit well with him. They both knew he would never kill him, his own child.
“No matter what you do.” Said the boss. “You cannot avoid her.”
“I cant take loosing her.” The man said. “It is better that my heart beats in wanting rather than grieving.”
“Your heart only beats because she walks the earth.” He whispered.
