Deadly Shore

Chapter fifteen- Affected

Everyone woke up at 5:00 and we have never been more energized. Luke has the identities on the table. Gabby put our clothes in our rooms, and Junaid has the location on the table as well. Ascari is making some coffee for all of us and we are talking about the plan. (Cassy): So, Luke can you read the identities please? (Luke): Well Cassy you are Tamia Scar. A model and photographer. Gabby you are Demi April. A song writer. Junaid you are Lewis Anthony. A producer and director. Ascari you are Jack Morrison. Hes an aspiring artist. I am Tim Samuels, a DJ. Finally!! I get a great identity! So this party is about everybody who does great in the arts. I am guessing that Elijahs father and his wife really love music and movies. This will be very different I guess. We arrive at the safe house nearest to the party location and I run through the plan at least twenty times just to make sure that nobody slips up because one mistake is all we need to blow the entire plan. Everyone decides not to start so early since the party is in three days. We have the plans in the desk and Ascari has been busy hacking through the camera systems and the back-up drives at the party location on the laptop for the entire day. Gabby and Luke have been all around the place buying clothes from the most expensive looking outfits and jewellery that they could buy. Even the outfits have to fit in so they took at least a day and a half to get that all together. Junaid has been organising ear buds and mini microphones so that we can be in contact during the entire mission. We have to take extra precautions with this mission. It isnt like the others because we are one step closer to avenging my grandfather. I cant stop thinking about the day that they killed him right in front of me. I go out for a jog because I just need to clear my head. The trees are beautifully green and they look so fresh. The grass is well-cut and mowed perfectly. The fresh air is something I really needed right now. I am craving my mint snacks but I havent had any in months. There is a restaurant around the corner and I am starving. Last Kill is an odd but appropriate name for a restaurant these days. As soon as I walk inside, the smell of blood invades my nostrils and warms up my belly. My eyes start burning and I look into the mirror, they are green oh damn it! The virus must have changed my reactions to blood, but I cant help but want to feed. One of the customers gave me a dirty look for no reason. I go over to him and sit on his lap. This is a fun looking toy, lets play. (Cassy): Hey there. Problem handsome? (Customer): Not at all madam (Cassy): Is that so? I could have sworn that I just caught you throwing a dirty look my way. Maybe there is a way to eat away at the bad feelings? I give him a playful look and he understands immediately. But he wants to take me to the mens bathroom. I follow him and as soon as we get inside, I use a spell to lock the door and tie him to the wall. Damn! I am starving! I look in the mirror and my eyes turn green again. I race to the guy and compel him to shut up so he will not scream or call for help. As soon as thats done, I bite into his neck like its my last meal. The taste electrifies my entire body. I feel myself getting stronger and I want to drain this one. I look at him again and he is as dead as a doorknob. Now I am bored I want another one. I walk back into the restaurant and I am just like to hell with being discreet and feed on every single customer and staff member there. I walk out of there as if nothing happened. I turn around and set the restaurant ablaze. (Cassy): Last kill indeed. I walk to the safe house and apparently Gabby got blood bags for everybody while I was gone. This annoys me so much. (Gabrielle): Oh I am so sorry sis. I forgot to call you! (Cassy): Its alright love. Why overreact about a few sample dishes when I have just finished an entire ninety-six course meal in five minutes flat She looks at me confused for a while until Luke calls us all. (Luke): Guys!! Look here! He is watching the news, well thats a first for him I guess. (News Reporter): This evening has gone from quiet and relaxing to shocking and nauseating. Over ninety bodies were drained completely of blood and were set a light at Last Kills restaurant in Saint Apollos Street not too long ago. Unfortunately there were no survivors and no camera footage to show what caused this tragedy. We will be back in ten minutes after a short break. Thank you Ascari switches the television off. They look so confused but then look straight at me. (Gabrielle): So Cassy, tell us more about your ninety-six course meal. I really dont have the time to listen to her crap. I just had something to eat. She cannot act like she never got a little hungry before. (Junaid): Sis, whats going on? My eyes start burning again and I suddenly shout. (Cassy): ITS NONE OF YOUR BUSINESS! I walk to my room to lay down. I just had a meal. What is so bad about that? They feed on humans. They have killed so many of them so what is the big deal about a little overdoing it? I was darn hungry. It was not my fault. My head is buzzing like crazy. Junaid walks into my room. (Cassy): Ever heard about knocking?! (Junaid): Ever heard about blood bags? I hate it when he gets me at my worst. He is always right in these situations and it just pisses me off. (Junaid): What is going on Cassy? A huge feast, roasting it to hell and gone after the fun is over and then lying to us about it that is not who you are What the heck am I supposed to say to that. Thank you? So maybe I went a little off the rails. It isnt the end of the world. (Junaid): Cassy, I know you better than you think I do. I will not stop this until you fess up. I know that there is something going on and you can try to use every lie in the book but I will still be able to get through to you because that is how we work. (Cassy): What do you want Junaid? (Junaid): You went off the rails and luckily you did not get caught in the act. Your eyes have gone green. Is this the viruss reaction? I hadnt thought about that. The virus it wasnt on my mind for weeks. Elijah is doing horrible but I didnt think that it would still have an effect on me even though Im not capable of dying. I snap out of my blood-dream and look at Junaid. The brother of mine that truly knows me better than I thought. I feel so stupid but that meal was totally worth it. Whether I was conscious of my actions or not, I needed it. I was just burning off some stress you know. I look at Junaid and I start talking. (Cassy): We need to find the Green Dragon sons of bitches before time runs out. (Junaid): Sounds like the Cassy I know and love. Lets get this show on the road I feel awkward but I walk out of my room and into the lounge with Junaid to talk to the rest of the fam. We need to settle the scores. The party starts tomorrow and we have no time to waste. (Cassy): I was gone for a bit and did something that I dont entirely regret. But we have a mission to do. Now lets get back to work Time for bed and we will be on our way in the morning.
