Hey, just checking. You tend to downplay things so Luce doesn't overreact.....
Greer sighed. Of course she couldn't blame them.
After a moment she looked at her phone and sent another message.
She groaned and just dialed him. As soon as he picked up. "You don't need to come. It's fine. And it's a mess here now and I'm gonna head back as soon as I get some tires."
becoming mist was not an easy form to take for a vampire, only pure borns could do it and it tends to make you hungry, but it dose have it's uses, getting into locked rooms, hiding in fog and (more important at this time) checking if someone is alone in a wide area.
The thick cold mist enveloped Pisci and the area around her, and Zoltan felt her shudder, when he was sure she had come alone he took him normal form a short distance away and made himself known.
"good evening, thank you for meeting with me."
"Good evening. Now, what did you want to talk about?" Pisci asked.
Well she asked but she already knew. It's probably going to be about this Vampire Council stuff again.
"first of all i want to apologise for my actions this day" he began " when people ask if your a vampire they usually have mind to kill me or they are trying to capture me on behalf of the vampire council"
"Oh, i didn't know that. I'm sorry." Pisci said.
"Where i come from, vampires aren't feared as much as they are here. I think, based on what i experienced here.
It's probably because they don't do many threatening things at all there, therefore they aren't hunted by people."
"The chief did say that he has heard of the vampire council. But he said that he can't be part of it the way he became a vampire."
Zoltan gave a rather disgusted look, like he had just smelt last months cheese "He was turned and he is your master? "
"...yes?" Pisci said shruggingly.
"But the fact that he is a vampire, pure or turned doesn't really have to do why i assist him in his own organisation along with some others."
I wonder why vampires are so fixated on pure blood. Pisci thought to herself.
"it it because turned Vampires have gotten above their station, they were only ever meant to be servants." Zoltan replied.
Then he looked embarrassed due to the look Pisci gave him.
" I'm sorry my dear, that one was a bit loud for me not to pick up. Did your master never tell you to think softly around our kind?"
"No, he did not." Pisci said.
"As far as i can tell he is indifferent about vampire kind. The only thing he hates is how the masters treat their servants; as tools and disposable people. And that's not just for vampires. He hates it when anyone has absolute power of others and treats them like garbage."
Pisci's hair fell in front of her face, she moved it out of her eyesight.
"That's why the chief created a organisation with one specific goal; to rid the world of those who suppress others with absolute power."
"well he sounds like a vamp i would get along with, despite his disadvantage of being a turned." Zoltan replied.
"It's a nice night, would you care for a stroll?" he continued gesturing to the path that went around the boat pond. " I will tell you about the council, I know your dying to know" then he chuckled at the pun.
"Yeah sure" Pisci stated. "Everyone is talking about this council but i still don't know what it does." She scratched the back of her head.
They began to walk slowly around the pond.
"the vampire council are all old pure born's, from the oldest family's" he began. "a bunch of aristocratic snobs who want the world to forget about Vampires so they can run the world from the shadows through corporations, you would be surprised and some of the brand names owed by our kind!"
"The head of the council is of course Dracula, Or King Sh*t as I call him!" he said clenching both fists tightly.
"He is the reason I'm hunted, he hates me as I do him." ........
"It all started decades ago" Zoltan replied looking suddenly very sad " I fell in love with a human girl and married her in secret. for many years we managed to keep it away from the council, I was part of them back then so I could manoeuvre things to hide her."
"Then i was betrayed!" He continued with a look of pure hate "Dracula had my bride fed to the council in front of my eyes, all of them laughing as they drained every last drop of her!"
he paused for a second. composed himself, and continued.
"For my crimes, I was locked in a box a sealed in a wall. this is the punishment most used by our kind, for it is against our highest laws to kill another vampire. but for me it was worse, because Dracula thought it amusing to throw a pair of old underpants in the box with me!"
"do you know what it's like being stuck in a box for a hundred years with the smell of old pants!".....
"I'm sorry for your loss." Pisci said.
She felt kind of guilty for all the ignorance she had the afternoon before.
"thank you." he replied quietly his thoughts still on his lost love. he composed himself once more.
"In that time in the box I swore my revenge, and when they let me out my revenge began. I killed the one who betrayed me and fled. my revenge on Dracula was to sell his story to an Irish man in a pub, of-course he had to change the end, make the world believe that King Shi*t vampire was dead, but it was out there the world knew his name and the tales of our kind began!"
"the old farts on the council were furious, they know that i will never let the world forget about our kind and for that they hunt me" he said with glee "I fear i will never get out of the box they put me in should they capture me again."
" so tell me" he asked after a brief pause "what were those tentacle things you attacked me with?"
"Makes sense as to how you reacted earlier then." Pisci said.
"Those tentacles? They come from the tattoo on my back." Pisci showed the tattoo. The tattoo itself was black and showed eight curved lines.
"It's a power my brother taught me to use, which has been bestowed from generation to generation in our tribe."
