Calis EvergladMusicIt was night. In the light of the street lanterns, you could see one figure walking. Calis sighed. Well, here he was. Wandering yet another street. At least the weather was nice. Not too hot, not too cold. Just right. However, since he noticed that people suddenly where a lot more cautious for Vampires, he always asked himself if he should avoid cities for now. No. Cities are a great source of information. Especially if you want to track down someone. Alon Dublin. The only Vampire Hunter that almost got him…and one of the few that really had put up a good fight. If it wasn’t for the fact that Dublin got away, he almost would’ve killed him. But Dublin thought him a valuable lesson. Don’t underestimate a Vampire Hunter ever again. The fact that there are actually people walking around that are capable of killing him, was reason enough for Calis to track them down. Devour them, yada yada yada..the usual thing he did with his prey. He had learned that in this city, there was a bar which had a certain connection to one person that Dublin was acquainted with. Beer n Bite. It was a bit of a gamble, but the only sort of track that he had which could possibly lead to Dublin. He then saw something that looked like a café. He saw the name of the bar. Harbors End. That was the alias which the café did go by. So this was the place.
“Huh. Speaking of the devil.” he mumbled.
He entered through the door. It was not that crowded as he thought. Well that’s good. The less people the better. He took a sit at the bar. Ooh the smells of fresh human blood. Lovely. Made him hungry. However, he knew that he couldn’t give in. He needed information. “What would it be?” asked the bar maid.
“Just some water please.” Not that he needed it, but he needed a reason to be coming into the bar. As he got his drink. He began to strike up a conversation with her.
“Business going well?” he asked. “Well, it isn’t as crowded as it used to be but we get by.” The bar maid said as she sighed.
“Oh really? How come?” Calis asked as he took a sip. “Well, you know. With the blood compact broken and all, some folks are too scared to come here.” The Blood Compact broken? Well that explains why people were so jumpy when they heard the word Vampire.
“Ah, well that’s understandable yea.” He quickly changed the subject.
“Hey, I’m looking for a certain person. Sascha O’Neill.” He saw a certain look in the eyes of the bar maid. “What business do you have with her?” Calis smiled. He expected such reaction.
“I have certain matters I need to discuss with her.” The bar maid still had that look. “Well, miss O’Neill isn’t here at the moment. He had not expected this. This only made things more complicated.
“I see. Do you know where she is at the moment?” The bar maid nodded. “She said she had business. Not telling where she did go.” Calis nodded. She was lying, he could see that. However, he decided to believe her lies.
“I see. Thank you for your time.” He paid for his drink, as he stood up.
“Keep the change.” The bar maid resumed her tasks. He walked away from the door. If she wanted to play it this way. Fine. but then Calis was going to play it his way. He needed this information. Now he could give in. Just as he was by the door he suddenly disappeared, and reappeared out of black mist, and pushed the bar maid against the counter. Surprising her and the other folks in the bar.
“Look lady, I know a lair when I see one.” He then smiled, but kept his calm. “I knew you were bad news when you entered this bar..” she said. “A vampire!” he heard someone shout. “Call the cops!” Calis looked vicious at the person who said that.
“Can you shut the fuck up? I’m trying to have a nice conversation here.” He shouted at the guy. “Monster!” the guy shouted. Get him! Then the guy came at him with four other blokes. Calis smiled. Lovely. Seems he had a meal.
“Don’t move.” He said to the lady. He threw her on the ground. Now the real fun began. He disappeared, and then reappeared behind two of the blokes. He quickly extended his nails into pointy spikes, and penetrated both the blokes from behind. Then quickly retracted his nails again. As the two blokes fell liveless to the ground. The two other blokes became scared of it, and tried to run. So were the other people who still were in Harbors End.
“Oh I don’t think so..” His eyes turned red, and he teleported to the other people, and did the same as he did with the two blokes. Attacking one person at the time. This vampire was hungry, and he was going to feed on every last sip of blood this establishment contained. He turned to the bar counter. He saw a back door closing. He was quickly by the door, and tried to open it. Locked. He then punched the door, so that the door broke, and he could resume. However. She was nowhere to be seen in the hall way. No..how could this be. His only lead gone. Now he had to start all over again. Calis. All because of this blasted bar. He walked into the bar again, and started living his frustration out on the glasses. He threw them on the ground, or shoved them of the counter. Then he started to walk to the tables and chairs, just to throw them all over. Smashing some against the wall. Why..Why did it have to be this way. How was he going to find Dublin now? No..stay calm Calis..stay calm. He took a deep breath, and closed his eyes. When opened his eyes he returned to normal. He then looked around. To the smashed tables and chairs, broken glass, the bodies on the floor.
“Hmn.. seems like I went overbroad again.” It was the fault of those humans though. He then thought deeply. Maybe there are some clues. He then checked behind the counter. He found a note. With a name and number on it. The name was Sascha. Well it seems he was in luck today. He took out his mobile, sat on the counter, and began to type out the number. He heard a tone.
He heard someone picking up the phone.
“Ye hello, with Sasha O'Neill.” He begins to speak in a calm, but friendly tone.
“Hello hello? Sascha O’Breill?” he asked.
“With who do I speak?” he heard a women’s voice say. Bingo. This had to be Miss O’Neill.
“Calis Everglad, at your service!” He said in a happy tone.
“And for what might I need your service Mr Everglad?” “Well I don’t know.” He laughed jokingly.
“But they definitely won’t serve in this bar of yours. That’s what I know.” He high-fived himself in thought for that pun.
“Restaurant.” He herd her breathing stop for a moment.
“Mister if this a joke-“ “Do I sound like the type that jokes?” Ironic, since he just threw a little pun at her.
“Let's just say that everyone in beer n bite got bitten, and there's beer everywhere now.” Man, he was on a roll today. With beer he meant of course blood. He heard some mumbling on the other side of the line, and after that he heard the same voice again.
“Why? Why would you do that. What grudge do you have against those people. And why call me, if you hope for me to write an article about it than you are wrong Mister.” An article? So little miss O’Neill was some kind of reporter? Interesting. He shrugged his shoulders.
“Eh, it kind of happened. Nothing personal Sasie. However, that's not important for now. I have a different reason actually for calling you.” He paused for a moment. For the drama.
“And what reason would that be mister?” Calis grinned. “
Well you see, I heard from certain people that you are a hunter of my kind. Look, normally I don't care about that stuff. However, I heard a certain name. Alon Dublin. Rings a bell?” “I may have trained under him for a bit but I am most certainly no hunter of your kind. I am pro vampire. And not at all happy that the blood compact broke. Mister......did you kill the people at beer N bite?” Oh? Well seems that some of his sources were incorrect then. Doesn’t matter. What matters is that she was somewhat acquainted with him.
“Ah well that's a pity..since Mister Dublin and I have some unfinished business still." He ignored the question Miss O’Neill asked him since that really didn’t matter anyway.
“What do you need him for. My master hasn't been seen since years ago.” Calis rolled his eyes. Like he didn’t knew that.
“Your master tried to kill me, so I need him dead.” There. Simple and straightforward.
“However, if what you said is true then I can never kill him I guess..Well, since you had studied under him, maybe I can kill you instead. Yea sounds like a neat idea. What do you think of that idea?” He loved this conversation. Little miss O’Neill has no idea.
“Why in heavens name would that make any sense. I have never killed a vampire in my live. Why do I deserve this grudge of yours?” “Well, let's just say that since you have learned a thing or two from him, you have some of his knowledge on how to kill a vampire. Truly I can't let that wander about now can I?” Yes. Calis was quite enjoying himself.
“I was hoping you would actually. I wasn't planning on using the skills I have learned from him Mister Everglad.” What an ignorant girl really..like he would magically drop the chase with those words.
“Sure sure, and I can say that I saw Rome rise, but you can't verify that either right?” “I was hoping that I would not see the need to use them on you mister.” This seemed like a waste of time now.
“Well we shall see. Anyway. I think we're wasting each other’s time now. I got your smell, so I think it won't be long till I find you. Is there anything else that miss reporter would like to ask of a vampire?” He said that, so that Miss O’Neill knew that a vampire was out to hunt her down.
“Are they alive. Barbara and Robert?” “Who?” Did she meant the bar maid?
“The bar lady and her husband. She's a vampire as well.” Another vampire? Well explains how she got away.
“Ah those two..yes they made it out safe.” He didn’t know about Robert, but who cares? He heard a relieved sigh.
“Then I will await your arrival. It seems like I cannot talk sense to you on the phone.” “Good. Well tata.” He then hung up. She didn’t seem concerned at all. Well maybe because she thought it was a prank call or so? Anyway, that doesn’t matter. What matters is, that he now has her smell. After he had his fair share of blood, he walked out of Harbors End. No blood did come on his cloths. How convent.
