Blood Halo: Comic!Miguel O'Hara x OC Imagine

Nightmares

   My eyes are hurting so much oh my god... I'm having a headache right now, my head seems to be exploding... These stupid people are a headache as well, how I hate here. If I wasn't stuck here like a chained dog... A true living nightmare...
   I hear a knock on the door. Who would be now? I hope isn't Ty.
   - Come in - I say, Ty and Van Helsing enter the lab. Did she already arrived?! I thought it would take longer.
   - Good morning, Mike - Tyler says with that fake smile. I hate that smile - as you see, Ms. Van Helsing has just arrived...
   - Hello - I say to her, she comes to me.
   - Hello, Mr. O'Hara - she extents her hand to me.
   - Call me Miguel only - I shake her hand. She smells like cigarettes, but not the nicotine ones.
   - It will be a honor be your co-worker, Miguel - she lets go my hand - I've heard of you and your works with genetic engineering...
   - Yeah... I never heard of you, only your mother.
   - Everyone has heard of my mother... - she says a bit apathetic - " The woman who found the cure of cancer "... But I'm not her, I plan to do my own legacy, not live under her shadow.
   - I see... - I mumble.
   - Be nice with her, Mike - Tyler comes to us - you know what will happen if you don't...
   - Yes... - I mumble a bit pissed. How I hate what you have done to me, Ty...
   - Let's go, Ms. Van Helsing - he turns around and walks to the door, Henrietta follows him - your bats will start arriving in a few days, so make yourself comfortable until then, after all, we're a family here... - they walk out the room and the door closes. What a family... I don't know which is worst, my own family or this company.
   I feel like they treat me like a dog here, they chain me here and more I want to leave when harder they try to keep me here... And they created their own enemy that way... I need to calm myself down.
   I sit on the chair and sigh, gripping my nose to relief the pain. I need vacation... I hope Van Helsing isn't a pain in the ass like all the others, but I'll keep an eye on her... For Selene.
   Oh, Selene... I like her company, she isn't like these people, she calms me... Maybe I can hang out with her...

   " Well, I took the day off today to renegotiate Gus' debt. I know it may be risky for me, a half vampire, but I want to help him, he's my friend and someone I really care, it's the minimum I could do for him. He already gave me the info and where to go: Standing Coffin. It's the main headquarters of the mafia, and they say who enters there rarely gets out alive... But is where I can meet the boss...
   I bought some things just in case I need... I just want to get out alive... But at least I'll die pretty with a gorgeous makeup. "
   Then my Gizmo starts to ring. Who would it be? I click on the button. It's a massage from Miguel.
   - Hey Selene. I have some news for you: Van Helsing just arrived to America - it says.
   - Oh shit - I replie. Now my nightmare will begin.
   - At this point, she seems harmless, but I'll keep an eye on her. For you.
   - Thanks Miguel.
   - You're welcome. And also, wanna come over? For a dinner - oh, this is a surprise, but I would like to.
  - Sure. I'm doing some stuff but I'll be there as quickly as possible.
  - Do not hurry, I'm wating for you. And what's your favorite food by the way? Besides blood of course.
  - Fish.
  - Alright. See you.
  - See ya - I turn of the Gizmo and sigh. If I come put alive, I'll hook up with him as a prize (if I have libido to do so).
   I stop in front of the address Gus gave me: It's a very imponent black building with mirror-like windows and two statues of griffins on the entrence. The door is the same black glass form the windows and has the shape of a coffin... You can do this...
   I go towards the door, it opens by itself and I enter the empty hall. Everything is black, the floor is very shiny with some beautiful carperts, there are beautiful wallpapers, even some portrays with beautiful frames and some statues of greek mythical creatures. These bitches have a good taste... I see a big holographic screen in front of me with a bunch of functions. There's one that caughts my attention:

" ● Talk to the boss personally
      Status: Available "

   I click on it, it shows to put my name, I put it and an elevator opens next to me, I enter, it closes and it goes up until it stops at the 13th floor. Gosh, this claustrophobic nightmare is almost over. The door opens and I walk out to what seems a dark Victorian office. And in a chair, someone with their back to me... I'm starting to feel thr death omen again... I have to be careful.
   - Hello, Miss. Dubois - the person on the chair turns to me. It's a middle-aged guy with white hair, light-redish eyes, very opponent semblance and a suit. He's petting a gray snake hanged on his arm, the animal bites a small skull necklace, it looks at me dead in the eyes like I'm a small scared rat. I feel like I'm stepping on eggs now.
   - Hello, Mr..?
   - Call me Don Costello... Sit down, please - he points to the chair in front of me, I sit - What did you came here for?
   - I came here in the name of my friend Gustavo del Rei, I want to renegotiate his debt...
   - Gustavo del Rei... A good man, from noble heritage, pure blood... - he looks at a hologram at his desk - have never done something against or in favor... - he looks at me - for what reason does he wants to do that?
   - Well, since the Court Event, his business have been going down to bad, and now it's when things have started coming back to normal, but still, there's no guarantee he'll be able to pay next month, so he wanted to have more time to pay...
   - I see... - he clicks on a button on his desk - Matt, Minji, come here...
   - Right, boss - a voice comes from his desk... It's the same voice of the guy who came to the store... Costello lights up a cigar and smokes it. I hate smell, it burns my nostrils, I don't smoke just because of the smell.
   After a few moments of uncomfortable silence and that blue snake staring at the depths of my soul, the elevator door opens and those two who came at the store walk out.
   - Do you know this woman? - Costello asks, the girl and the guy nod.
   - She was attending at Hell's Bells when we went there for Gustavo del Rei's money - Matt says.
    - Alright... - Don sighs - Miss. Dubois, why didn't Del Rei come here himself?
   - He was busy, so I came here to do that for him... - I replie.
   - I see... - he says while getting up and giving the snake to Minji - I can do something about your friend's situation, but I want something in return...
   - What..? - I ask. I'll be my soul, I can feel it.
   - Do you know any half vampire or humans who have any type of relationship with a vampire? - he asks while walking to me. Oh, now the eugenic shit...
   - No... I'm new in the city, so I'm not the best person to help you with that... - I say. I hope if he believes it, because if he doesn't, that girl will blow my brains out and the snake will make my skull its new home.
   - If you say so... - he walks to the window - If you give me a list of half vampires and humans who have any type of relationship with a vampire until the end of the month, I may even forgive the debt of your friend.
   - Right... - Oh shit... I get up - Thank you, Don Costello... - I walk to the elevator and then walk out the room.
   It's raining outdoors, the cold wind and raindrops are really calm down this tension... I don't want innocent to people do die, but I don't want my friend to die... And there's also Van Helsing on my back. This is turning into a living nightmare, and it may be end worst... I need to calm down... Maybe Miguel can help me...
