Chapter Three - Playing James Bond

The ride home was quiet. The green light of the car's clock said 12:47 pm. I couldn't get the young vampire out of my head, his face kept flashing in my mind like a beautiful dream. My thoughts couldn't leave his burning hands that were still banded by the silver hand cuff. I don't believe anyone should be treated unfairly, but my beliefs don't matter in this situation.

I was sitting in the back seat quietly when my eyes glimpse toward Steve, who was driving the car. I couldn't accept the fact that he was known for being a pastor, for any honest student of the Bible would acknowledge that man, as God's special creation, has been blessed with certain "human rights." Well, in this case "vampire rights." But Steve doesn't believe that it applies to their kinds, when it clearly states in the Bible that "The Lord is the maker of all" (Proverbs 22:2). But not to Steve, any true student of the Bible would have been stimulated toward ideals such as fairness, justice and generosity, especially one who comes from generations of pastors.

Even if we throw away the messages of the bible, isn't it illegal to treat someone like that? I mean, this is America, it is known for freedom and rights. That was why, the founding fathers of our country said, "All men are created equal….endowed by their creator with certain unalienable Rights." So why is it so hard to except their kind and give them the rights they deserved? But I guess I can't really blame anyone, for we, human kinds, are terrified of the unknown and the things we don't understand.

My train of thought was broken by the loud giggle that burst out of my sister, I don't know what Steve said to make her laugh but she moved in her seat to give him a soft kiss on the lips. I grind my face in disgust. I wonder what our father would say if he saw her like this, what our mother would say if she saw her like this. I turned my head to look out the window, my mind trailing back to his beautiful face again, to his beautiful eyes and... The hand cuffs. That was another thing that's frustrating me, I know he was supposed to be a powerful vampire, but I just don't know why he tolerates Steve's actions, I just don't know why he won't fight back.

In all this thinking, I was able to conclude one thing, one thing I had to do. One thing the lord would want me to do. I had to be the person who fights for him, who treats him well. His intense blue-silver eyes flashed in my head again, and I could feel my face heat up. Ok, in all this thinking, I was able to conclude two things. The other one being, I was attracted to him. Oh, I was very much attracted to him. He was extremely handsome, and not to mention I have never been this curious about anything before.

When we arrived home, the maid, Helen, had already prepared lunch. We sat around the table as we ate. Steve and Sarah talked about how pleased they were with today's program, and about a potential young candidate for the fellowship of the sun. When they started discussing about what they should pack for tomorrow, a question popped in my head. "How long are you guys going to be gone?" I asked turning toward my sister. She was still chewing her food when she answered, "oh don't worry sweetie, it's just for two days." Steve nodded his head in agreement smiling toward me. Once lunch was done, Sarah and I started picking up after ourselves.

After lunch, Sarah asked me if I could help her pack. It took us about half an hour to arrange everything she will need for her trip in one big suitcase. Once we were done, I sat on their bed as she moved to help her husband pack. When I saw they were distracted with which suit Steve should wear for the interview, I slowly left their bedroom and walked toward Steve's office. Steve's office was just down the hall, right next to the guest bedroom. If I know Steve as much as I think I do, he should have the key for the silver hand cuff that bound the vampire's hands in his office. This was my only chance, I have to get it now, for when they usually leave for their trip, Steve would lock his office door.
