Renewing Bonds

Chapter One

Chapter one

I heard my cell phone ring as I walked down the streets of New York City to my nightclub. I looked at the screen and whispered fuck then I answered

"Hello? Brian? I told you I'm working and I won't be able to talk until morning when I go to bed"

"I'm sorry but this is important... I'm moving"

"Are you shitting me? When?"

"In three days..."

"Why? What reason do you have to move?"

"My job, the videos have taken me to a whole new level, they need me to move closer to LA"

"And leave me behind. Thanks I love you too, you know what? I'm done. You are married to your job and I'm just that little girlfriend you hardly come home to. Hell we don't even live in the same apartment, I guess that makes it easier for you to leave me then." with that I hung up. I had work to do tonight. I was working my club tonight like I do every night. My favorite place to be was my place, my club called "Sweet Tooth", yeah I know, clever name right? I picked it because I'm a vampire, I was a witch before I was turned and I still do practice and have a few of my powers which comes in handy since I am still a young vampire.

I walked into my club and walked behind the bar where I spent most of the night mixing my specialty drinks. It wasn't just any club though this was a club for supernaturals werewolves, vampires like myself, demons etc.

I opened this bar for vampires to get the nourishment they need and for humans who know about us to get the experience they want. But one thing lead to another and it was open to all supernaturals. The only issue with that is that everything that people say about vampires and werewolves having a strong distain for each other is true. So there were sometimes quite a few battles that happen between the two species but enough that we can handle it and still keep my club in one piece.

We opened at eight o'clock sharp and I looked at the clock. It was seven thirty; I had a half hour to kill. I was already dressed for the night in my leather pants and very sexy corset. So I decided hey why not and I got out some blood and made a signature drink that I created when I was just getting the club off the ground.

At about seven forty-five my bouncer came in his name is Tim. He just so happened to be a protector, he has the powers to detect when someone he is connected to is in pain which just so happened to be my sister Ava and I. I've known him since I was in high school, at the time I didn't know he was my protector but he told me not long after I told him about my past he also told me he is a demon hunter. He was happy when he found out I had been turned vampire in my sophomore year of college, I was living in an apartment with him at the time. He is a pretty decent guy. He is like a big brother to me. Although I can kick ass on my own he likes control who comes in contact with me.

"Hey Kitten" like everyone who works for me or is very close to me they called me Kitten or my name, Anastasia.

"Hey Tim, you are going to love this news. I broke up with Brian today." I didn't expect what he did next. He hugged me so tight I couldn't breathe.

"THAT'S GREAT!" he yelled.

"Okay. Okay... put me down please" he set me down.

"Ana, do me a favor and see the friend I have? I have wanted you to see him forever and now is as good a time as any"

"Fine if he comes to the club tonight I will meet him."

"Ana, he is at the club every night. You know him but you don't know him"

"Ummm okay, you should go put your stuff in the back before people start lining up. I don't want to have a repeat of the night you were late." Really the only thing that happened was that a starving vampire almost broke my arm. I may be vampire but it still hurt like a bitch.

"Okay, I'll also give my friend a message to stay later than usual."

"How long does he usually stay?"

"Five minutes until closing."

"Why have I never seen him before?"

"Because I told him where to sit so he can see you but he won't be seen by you"

"That makes me feel a tad bit weird, but hurry up and go" I just picked a random drink thinking what the hell I make whatever is asked for anyway. Once Tim came back out I put on my signature kitten ears and then my red lipstick.

"Hey Tim! No humans tonight!" I yelled to him. I didn't feel like having trouble tonight I had a feeling that there was going to be vampire problems tonight because well when I get a feeling I'm not usually wrong. I just wanted a normal night behind the bar mixing drinks and having a good time. At that moment Britany my other bartender walked in and I nodded to her. Maybe if things slowed down enough that she could handle the bar on her own I would dance a little, depends on how things went tonight.

Depending on how things with Tim's friend went I will spend the night with someone. I was hoping it went well so I wouldn't be alone tonight, well spend the day. I forgot to ask what he was in supernatural terms. Oh well I'll find out soon enough. The first people came to the bar and I cued the DJ to start the music with one of my favorite songs Boyhunter by Skye Sweetnam and away the night went.

I was pouring a drink for a costumer when Brian walked into the club. Although he is human I guess Tim thought that I needed to talk to him or he snuck in.

"What the hell are you doing here?" I asked really annoyed.

"I came here too talk about what happened on the phone. You just kinda hung up on me." Brian said as he sat down on one of few empty stools and looked at me to talk.

"Yeah because I had every right to. You are leaving, and I didn't only hang up. I dumped you."

"You can't do that to me."

"Yes I can. This is of my own free will. Besides, you are the one who put our engagement on hold as you said and you never wanted to move in together. Now you have a job somewhere where you will never see me. So I dumped you. Simple as that. Now unless you are going to order a drink then get out. Actually no, just skip the drink and get out. Now"

"Fine. Ill get out of your life. But you will never find someone like me."

"That's the point. Now get out before you get hurt."

"How would I get hurt? This is just some cheap club for the weirdoes" That simple little comment pissed me off. So I bore my teeth at him. "What the hell... what are you..."

"That is none of your concern now... get out" he looked terrified. He go up and left in quite a rush, looking like he had just seen a ghost. Or a vampire for that matter. With that the night moved on slowly but smoothly

~~~~~~~~~~~

"God that was a long night, especially when you let Brian in," I said to Tim.

"I didn't mean to let him in, he just kinda snuck past me. I wouldn't have let him in on purpose I know that he could have gotten hurt but I guess we can be happy he didn't" Tim said to me after I finished wiping down the bar.

"Have your friend at the bar. I'm going to go change" I always change after a long night. It was heavy flow tonight. I got a lot of tips of twenties and tens, what can I say I'm an amazing bartender. I just wanted to put on my jeans and a t shirt and took off the kitten ears and the red lipstick and then I wanted to meet this friend then go home maybe with him. Who knows? It had been a crazy night and I need the company. Since my ex-boyfriend had to move and shit I didn't have anyone to come over and just chill, but when I walked out I saw a face that I hadn't seen in many years. I froze in my tracks shocked.

"Kitten, you might remember..."
