"Ian died two years ago!" the vampire roared.
"What happened?" Luka calmly asked.
"What happened? Assassination! And a successful one," Ian sarcastically replied.
"Someone shot the engine of my car while I was driving. I was all broken. I don't remember how long I lay there slowly dying. Obviously, they wanted it to look like an accident, and then Lucinda found me - a vampire, and cursed my life."
"You mean she saved you?"
"She should've let me die. This isn't life!" he roared.
"Why didn't you reach out to your father?" Luka continued in a calm tone.
"Oh, I did reach out to my father. He's the one who locked me up in four walls, like an animal," he smiled.
"He told me that his son was dead and that I would never get out, that nobody should know that I'm alive. I guess he didn't have the strength to kill me. After a year, I managed to escape. You know, the transition to being a vampire wasn't easy. You have to get used to the thirst. There are some things I'm not proud of."
"Can you walk during the day?"
"If the sun isn't too strong, I can," he said painfully.
"Then you're not a monster, you still have a soul," Luka said calmly.
"Ian, listen carefully, we need you! Your father is dead."
Ian clenched his teeth. "I'm sorry, but I can't help you."
"Then help your sister and her unborn child!"
Ian looked at him wide-eyed. "A child?"
"Yes, our child," Luka smiled at him.
"I'll kill you!" Ian roared.
"No, you won't. I love her and she loves me. We are soulmates. There's nothing I wouldn't do for her. If necessary, I'll force you back. Larsson will attack soon."
"Larsson? Ha, ha, ha..." Ian laughed sarcastically. "That wicked old man. He managed to screw him over too."
"He's been licking his ass for years, for nothing. What did the old man condition him with, Amanda?"
"Yes, he has to marry her and secure an heir."
"Ha, ha, ha..." Ian began to laugh sarcastically.
"Does Larsson know that Amanda is pregnant?"
"No," Luka said coldly.
Ian sighed deeply. He averted his gaze from Luka.
"How much time do we have?"
"We don't have any!"
"In less than 5 hours, he's coming for her, with your people. It's time to go."
Ian was silent.
"Listen, I don't have time to argue with you," Luka said authoritatively. "Amanda is in danger, as well as the whole city. God knows what that psychopath is planning. I should give you some motivational speech, but I've never been a speaker, so I'll just tell you to stop being a pussy and fight for what you were born for!"
"Not a bad motivational speech," Ian sarcastically replied.
"And one more question..." Luka began. "Does Larsson know you're alive?"
"No," Ian grinned maliciously.
"Great!"
Luka picked up his phone. "Get in the car!" he told Ian.
