Chapter 1 - The Beginning

There I was frozen to the spot seeing the C.E.O of Talis industries, standing over his secretary Vanessa with his fangs on her neck, then he turns to look at me, he was about to grab me then I woke up.

May 5, 2025.

It's 6:00am, and I have a job interview at Talis industries as a personal assistant for the C.E.O (I'm starting to think it's not such a good idea right now) anyway I was having breakfast with my roommate/bestie Kate, a computer nerd and hack (sorry forgot to introduce myself, I'm Sophie aka Soph a genius, riddle master, cutie and absolute sweetheart). Kate brings up a topic about how hot the C.E.O of Talis industries is and I'm not gonna lie, he's hot ...15 minutes later, I've started to regret this cause right now I feel like throwing up right in the elevator, I've just reached his office (soph you still have time to walk away), with my heart pounding I opened the door, the moment I saw him, Adrien Talis, damn this man was fine I felt weak in the knees (and I am not exaggerating he looked amazing) he was let's say 6.0 feet, with dark silky hair, trimmed beard, he was light skinned, with a black designer suit (the suit looked like it was worth more my entire life savings), and he looked fit.(Okay soph calm down) I think I was staring too much cause he looked at me weirdly and asked if I was alright and this was what came out " You ...look so handsome " (yeah I know not a great start to an interview, I wished the ground could just open up and swallow me) when I got myself back together, he told me to take a seat (and good lord his voice was something else) he asked me some questions which seemed easy enough, he then said " This is the last question and it's very important ", at this point I was ready for anything, " A man wanted to have everything, a job, money, and power but greed took control of him, he then joined a cult and became the C.E.O of a very successful business. But lost his family in the process, he was a tyrant and a lot of people hated him, so the cult decided to destroy his company and kill him. Do you think it was worth it " (personally I would just like to ask who in their right mind would ask this type of question in an interview but his mental health isn't really my business I needed the job) I said " It wasn't worth it ", and he hired me on the spot. (Okay so recap, I had a job interview and got the the job).

May 6, 2025.

It's 6:30 am, I'm eating breakfast with Kate (who's literally drinking a beer, the only person I know that that does apart from me). So I was telling her everything that went down yesterday (including the dream) and she said " okay you mean to tell me you had a dream that Adrien was a vampire and that you got a job at his company as his personal assistant, wow ". She looked at me seriously before she sprung up and started squealing and I just laughed at her antics although she kept teasing me about Adrien (ugh it was so annoying), I then checked the time, it was already 6:49 I dashed out like a bullet to the office, I was supposed to be in by 7:10, as I was walking through the streets of New York, I felt someone was watching me but I brushed it off (big mistake)...10 mins later, I finally arrived and with a few minutes to spare, I went straight to Adrien's office. He was already waiting for, he had a task for me. He took me to the elevator and we went down to the archives, it looked like a library that hasn't been cleaned in a while, just then a a man came out of nowhere he looked thin and pale with shabby clothes and a cracked glasses. I thought he was a thief until Adrien told me he was incharge of the place, we walked past a few shelves then he stopped at what looked like a chest and opened it, he took out an emerald ring, an Egyptian goblet (at least that's what it looks like), a sword that looks like the one harry used in the chamber of secrets, a staff and a small vial full of weird red liquid (you I'm starting to think of quitting cause it's starting to feel sus). Then finally he said " I'm having a meeting with some important partners and I would like you to give them this during the the meeting, so the ring goes to Michael, the staff to Leah, the sword to Davis and the goblet to Katherine. So later that day at 1:00pm, the meeting started, so I stood in the room as Adrien started to introduce them to me, Leah's face held a calm stillness, the kind that revealed nothing but made you curious, Michael's looked easy going with mischief in his eyes and his easy going smile made me feel comfortable, Katherine had a much more sophisticated look, she gave old money vibes with eyes that give nothing away, no expression, no joy in them, not really alive but not dead, she was just existing, Davis looked like life had abandoned him, his eyes hollow but sharp.(I was still a bit nervous at this point) So when Adrien nodded I gave them their gifts and they looked pleased, the meeting went well (thank goodness). (I'm sure you're wondering who the vial is for well it's for Adrien). So right now I'm back home, Kate was passed out on the couch, I was checking my bag for my phone when my hand hit something that felt like a bottle when I pulled it out I saw the vial, I'd forgotten to give it to Adrien, so I rushed back to the office (yeah another big mistake).
