Chapter 2 - After Hours

As I entered Adrien's office my blood went cold (remember the dream I had well this wasn't a dream), at that moment my body went stiff and I couldn't move. (There were questions like 1. Can I predict the future 2. How can the C.E.O of Talis Industries be a vampire 3. Was that why the position for p.a open 4. Was I next. I'm just 24 I'm to young to die). He just turned to me, (there was no need to kill cause I think my soul as started to leave my body), as he walked towards me his demeanor changed, he looked more human and for some strange reason I started to calm down, he said "Vanessa please get yourself cleaned up I'll take care of her", (um how?) when Vanessa left he just stared at me, i stammered "w-w-well I-I c-came to g-give you the v-vial" then I handed it to him but he was still silent. I apologized for coming in late and turned to but he stopped me (obviously he wasn't gonna let me go that easily), he asked me to follow him. He lead me to the elevator and pressed the roof button, the roof was nicely decorated (it kinda looked like an outdoor restaurant) but it was very cold, he asked "don't tell a soul about what happened, if you do you wouldn't like the consequences that follow" "I swear I won't tell anyone" I was starting to shake (not just from the cold this time), he told me to go home and come to the office tomorrow and he'll explain everything, so I left. As I was walking back (couldn't he at least drive me home after the mental scar he gave me), I started hearing footsteps behind me I turned back but didn't see anyone so I continued walking but someone grabbed me, covered my mouth and told me to be quiet, when I turned to look at the person it was Davis, he looked like he had been in a fight, his clothes were rumpled. He told me to follow he, I replied "so let me get this straight it's 10pm right now, I'm walking home then you grab me out of nowhere and expect me to follow you sorry but no" but he didn't let go instead he carried me on his shoulder, I tried to get out of his grip but he was strong and fast, a little to fast. He stopped after a while, he put me down but still held me. I looked around but I couldn't recognise where we were and I was sure there was no one here to help me. He said "I recall you work at my brother's company" (BROTHER!) I nodded, he went on "well there are some things I think you should know" "you mean how your brother is a vampire and I'm guessing you are to" he looked surprised, "well we weren't born this way, our father was a vampire but my my mom was human, everything was good until it wasn't my father didn't have complete control over his instincts and killed my mom and little sister but for some reason turned us into vampires. My brother was angry and decided to kill our father one night, I'm not angry he killed our father but that looks he had that night worried me" (WHAT THE HELL!) "I think my sanity just rage-quit" (why is it every time I find a job somewhere weird shit has to happen, first my boss was a gang member messed up and got everyone arrested, the next one was a creep and I thought third time's the charm but no my boss is a vampire GREAT!) "so I'm guessing everyone at the meeting was a vampire" "well everyone except Leah, we all trust her" (I want to go home) "why just why would you tell me all this when you probably don't even remember my name" "because you need to be careful, why do you think your position was empty", he looked tired " um were you in a fight" "just got caught in the middle of a bar fight, I'll take you back" after a while we got to my street "thanks, you aren't as emotionless as you look" "you're welcome and by the way I didn't forget your name sophie" and he left. I walked in to Kate playing video games, she turned to and asked "how was your day", I started laughing like a maniac "how was my day you ask, it was really shitty and frustrating, I found out Adrien is a vampire for Christ's sake, his brother basically kidnapped me, damn it, then the bastard proceeds to tell me that the last person who had this job died (he didn't say it directly but I'm pretty sure that's what he meant), my day wasn't fine" Kate looked at me like I was crazy, I just left the room and went to bed.

May 7, 2025.

I'm awake and it's already 7am and I couldn't care less, Kate was already at the table, she looked concerned and told me to tell everything that happened yesterday.....15mins later she's just starting at me then stands up and starts pacing around the room "how can Adrien be this careless, how could you find out this soon, I'm gonna slap some sense into him next time I see him" (OH, THIS JUST KEEPS GETTING BETTER) "Kate what do you mean he was careless, don't tell me" she looked at me and sighed and suddenly I wasn't able to speak. "Don't shout, it's still early and yes I'm a vampire not that big of a deal, look I'm not going to hurt you...yet but I'll let you speak only once you've calmed down" (and the universe just keeps on giving), she laughed "it does doesn't it".
