5 Convo with a vampire
We were sitting on opposite chairs in my living room, if i could call it that, in the middle of us on a table were the pizzas i commanded earlier. She was observing the embarrassing state of my apartment. I just ignored her and started eating my pizzas, it wasn't me that wanted to talk after all. As i was relishing in the deliciousness of my meal, she broke the silence.
"I am curious i saw you die, how is it that you're still among the living?"
I didn't answer immediately, only after i finished my pizza did i say
"It's a mystery to me too."
She looked at me like she didn't believe me, i didn't care at worse she would kill me, been there done that, TWICE!! Yeah it was still a sore point.
"If you don't want to tell me that's fine but before i get into the reason of my visit, do you want to ask some question."
A bit surprised that she dropped the subject that easily, i started getting wary of what she really wanted. But since she was all for it i asked
"How did you know i didn't die?" this was what was bothering me how could she possibly tell i wasn't dead?
"I didn't know i, like Luke, by the way he's the one that reaped your head off, thought you were dead, it's just that i felt guilty about the whole incident and went to where Luke has his men buried you to pay my respects and apology. That's when i discover that there was no body and trace of digging, also i was scenting a familiar scent, your blood, i followed it to an abandoned alley in this district where i found a carnage, then to this apartment and here we are."
'So the asshole is name Luke. Note to myself, vampires truly have powerful senses. Also looking at her i didn't think that she would feel guilty and even come to apologise on my grave' i was genuinely surprised by her explanation. I was bit more well disposed to her.
"So is he a vampires too?"
"Luke? it's complicated you can say he's partly one."
"I see..." I didn't, at all, but it's just that talking about him was starting to piss me off.
"How could vampire existence not be known by now?" i was curious about that.
"Ah this is due to the discretion of our people and some history manipulation, since we're immortal we have more than enough time to erase our traces in history. Also because of false informations spreading. The rumours that say vampire to be allergic to sun or garlic are bogus, don't get me started with the wood or silver thing. Like almost all immortals we can only die by decapitation. Well that's what i thought until i met you."
'So it's like that' i thought digesting the info.
"Are there others supernaturals?"
"Of course ranging from Lycans to Demons, Angels and Fae, even gods."
"Wait gods exist like for real?"
"Yeah it's just that you need to reach a certain level of power to become relevant to them."
I was officially mind blown. This supernatural world i was venturing into seemed deep and profound like the abyss, 'Well at least i won't die' i thought jokingly.
"I have nothing more to ask. You can say why you are truly here now."
"I am here to ask something of you" she said then she hesitated.
"What?" i asked curiously drinking a cup of water
"Well there's no way to say this well but i want you to be my fake boyfriend"
"WHAT?? WHY?" i cough the water on my mouth.
"This...well what happened earlier to you is the reason"
"You mean when that psycho reaped my head off?"
"Yeah I should talk from the start so you understand better. My family is one of the oldest vampire family in the world created by my father 5000 years ago..."
"You mean you're almost 5000 years old?" i asked my eyes bulging?
"What NO! i am just 22 years old this year."
"Oh sorry" i said sheepishly
"As i was saying our family is an old one, 2000 years ago my father received help from an extremely ancient and extremely powerful mage named Atticus White. To repay this debt my father promised his first daughter to his son. Flash forward to the present, I am technically engaged to the son of this mage Luke White whom you met earlier this day."
"Ah now i get why this asshole killed me, he thought you and i were an item." In other term am just a collateral in all this story, just GREAT!
"Exactly, that's why i need you to be my fake boyfriend, as your resilience already been proved i am certain he can't just kill you and maybe he'll finally understand that i want nothing to do with him."
"Why don't you just tell him that?"
"I tried he is a blockhead he refuse to understand and since his father is this powerful mage and also the regional head of the magic council it's quite difficult." she said sighing
"Another self-entitled prick." I thought hatefully thinking of the bastard that had me fired.
"So will you help me?"
"What will i gain from this after all i am not your friend, plus you already owe me."
"I didn't intend for you to do this for free, of course i would pay you."
"How much?" i said tempted
"10.000.000 $." she said calmly.
"*cough* *cough* i am sorry what?" i asked bewildered.
"10.000.000 $." she repeated.
"You got yourself a deal." Standing up i shook her hand.
"Thank you." she heaved a sigh of relief. "What's your account number i will transfer 1/4th immediately and the rest after the job."
I gave it to her and not long after i received a notification. No sound was sweeter in my ears.
I looked and saw 2.500.000$ on it. i was ecstatic, it seems my poverty issue were taken care of.
She got up and went to the door.
"I'll be in touch." then she left.
"sure."
But at that time i didn't know what i signed for.
"I am curious i saw you die, how is it that you're still among the living?"
