"Tor! Open the door! Someone's here for you, buddy!" The shout pierced through the silence.

Tor groaned and covered his ears, alas it was no use. He rolled off the bed and stomped over to the door throwing it open. He glared at the man with a ponytail of brown hair and friendly green eyes. "Who's here for me, Alex?"

Alex gave Tor a toothy grin, "He says he is a friend and it's only right you meet him at the moment. Says his name is Charlie or something, he mumbles alot."

Tor rubbed his eyes before nodding, he pulled on his gray hoodie and stepped out. He followed Alex, the shop and apartment owner that rented out the room to Tor, down to the shop where a man was standing close to the door. He looked over when he heard steps, his face covered by darkness from the hood of his oversized coat.

Tor tried to peer under the hood but the man moved away. So Tor cleared his throat, "What is it you want from me?"

The man's voice is deep and gruff, "I'm looking for a vampire. I think he goes by Zel now. He's been in touch and asked me to send a message."

Tor's eyes hardened significantly as he listened, "It's got nothing to do with me. He is a traitor."

Tor could basically hear the smirk in the man's voice, "Like you? Right, Tray? Or do you prefer Tor?"

Tor was quick to grab the man by the throat, the hood fell showing the horrible image of the man's scarred face and gray eyes. Tor flinched and the man's lips lifted to a smirk, "I'm not after him to help. I'm here to kill the bastard. He burned me and killed my family."

Tor nodded and let the man go, "He's got a kid. I mean he took the kid from me and I guess he's gonna kill him."

The man's stormy gray eyes narrowed to slits, "He shall not take yet another family. Zel shall fall. Fall soon he shall. I promise you, Tor. You shall have your son back soon."

Tor's cheeks brightened and he stammered out the kid wasn't his son. The man chuckled at Tor's response.

Alex came back, looked at the two and grinned, "Hello there again," he turned to Tor, "Grave news, my friend. Bloody package."

Alex let the bloody package fall onto the table.

Tor carefully opened it and the sight inside made him want to vomit.
