"That was nerve racking." Liza mumbles.
"You did a good job though." I state.
"Alright, let's talk here." Azula stops near the restrooms.
Not many people here so a good spot to talk for what we came for originally. Liza looks tired, guess she was really nervous. Hopefully we won't have to deal with more stalkers anymore.
"So, what is it about him you wanna know specifically?" Ause asks.
"Whatever works, we have to kill him in one and a half year." I answers. "Otherwise he'll kill us."
"Oh damn, we don't have much on that but I do know one specific way to kill him." Azula replies. "Mixing purified blood and regular blood will create a kind of poison for vampires."
That doesn't make a lot of sense, regular blood does nothing for vampires and purified blood is what keeps them alive. One month without purified blood kills them or will cause them to go berserk. So I'm not exactly sure how mixing purified blood and regular blood could kill them.
"Let me correct you, blood of animals mixed with purified blood makes poison." a familiar voice appears besides us, Weller. Everyone goes quiet and stares at him, I'm not exactly surprised though because he has always been like this. Somehow he knows everything and can just pop up out of nowhere.
"Well I don't plan on using that power again." I state.
"Figured." he replies.
"Do you have a reason to be here?" Ause coldly asks.
"Just to warn you to get out of this place." he answers. "A few of your rivals are here which includes her father." he points at Liza.
"Where?" Liza asks.
Weller puts up three fingers, putting one of them down each. Liza seems worried but there seems to be a determined look on her face.

An elevator dings, the man from that window comes out except he's not wearing sunglasses. His eyes look exactly like Liza's and he's an angel just like her. Liza stares right at him as he approaches us. He doesn't have a good expression, it's more harsh.
It looks like there are many emotions going on inside her, Weller disappears just like that. Guess he just wanted to warn us but now there's something else we have to focus on.
"What?" Liza asks.
"You're still alive?" her dad asks.
"Yes, is that a problem?" Liza answers.
"It is, judging by how you're with those two." he points at Ause and Azula.
"Why should you care? It's not like you ever cared for me, neither did Quinn." Liza replies.
"Don't talk like that." he responds.
Liza's voice is harsh, he doesn't seem to have noticed me yet. He has a strong glare but Liza seems unfazed by it, though I'm sure she's not ok. Where this'll go is hard to tell but if there are other rivals here then causing a scene is not a good idea.
"Why? You just wanted me to die so you could get money but now you can't." Liza states.
"And whose fault is that?" he says in an angry tone.
"Who cares, my life is a x100 better now." Liza responds.
"Well if your blood had gotten purified then maybe I would be out of my debt." he states.
He's mad, clearly bothered by how Liza is talking to him. I'm happy Liza is standing up for herself right now, there's some sadness in her eyes though. I'm bothered by how he's talking to Liza though, he must be setting off some unpleasant memories for Liza.
Liza deserves better, she deserves happiness and is worth much more than this man is acting. I'm gonna make sure to treat her what she's worth.
Ause and Azula are quiet, watching and having a very strong glare towards him. His focus is only on Liza though and the air between the two is thick. I'm not too sure if it's a good idea to interfere.
"I don't care, all I can think about is how desperate you must've been to fuck that ugly bitch to get a child that'd get you money once they die." Liza rolls her eyes.
"Why you piece of shit." he says, his voice more impatient.
"I'm not a piece of shit, I know my worth now." Liza states.
Her confidence is higher, that's a good thing and it should get higher. Her words make me smile, she's precious and that won't change.
"Fuck you, I have someone who cares for me now." Liza points the middle finger at him.
"Who would care for someone like you?" he questions.
"Hello Mr Mills." I say. "The names Harry Carsson, I'm 19 years old and an arsonist. I met your daughter two and a half years ago and was the one who escorted her back to you on the night where she was almost killed."
"I am sorry for not purifying her blood but I can't purify the blood of someone important. She's worth more than the money you get when your child's blood gets purified so I don't understand the issue." I say, not actually sorry for not purifying Liza's blood.
He stares at me up and down with a confused look before he realizes what I just said. As soon as he realizes what I mean, his eyes darken and there is a very angry look on him. He clenches his fist, Liza has a smile on her face.
"What are you to her?" he asks.
"He's my boyfriend." Liza answers.
"You've had plenty of boyfriends so how's he different?" he questions.
"You knew...?" Liza says with wide eyes.
"Enough about that, what do you want?" Ause steps in.
"I wanted to confirm she actually joined you guys and now that it's confirmed, I'm gonna kill her." he answers.
Liza stares at him. That last sentence is infuriating, I'm gonna make sure Liza doesn't get harmed. He isn't gonna harm her, I don't care what his reason is.
Liza's eyes are wide but it seems like she is still gonna hold her ground. I hold her hand, keeping my hold firm. It's a good thing there aren't a lot of people so there isn't a scene.
"Mr Demon, your eyes are glowing." Liza whispers.
"Sorry, I just don't want you to get harmed." I state.
"It's fine, you do so much for me already." she replies.
Liza sounds much more exhausted, Azula and Ause seem to be arguing with him. Liza squeezes my hand, seeing him again must be hard for her from how he treated her in the past but I'm proud she stood up for herself.
Some people are looking at us and we're right outside the restrooms. I wonder what made Weller decide to tell us that rivals are here. It's strange how can appear and then disappear but I'm used to it by this point.
"I really would kill you right now but sadly, we have to go." Azula says before gesturing for me and Liza to follow her. We walk away with Ause leaving him, guess we couldn't get much of what we came for in the first place but that doesn't matter now.
