A Love Soaked In Blood

chapter 9

It took Agatha two hours to finish her work.
"They are Sylvia and Elias, we were childhood friends" Agatha says to a group of clinic staffs along with the two men who drove us as Elias and I stand some distance away, ready to leave.
"We lost contact when each of us moved to another neighborhood, Sylvia just told me that after her parents died in 1949 she was living on her own before she coincidentally ran into Elias, who also lost his parents to the same incident so they decided to stay together, relying on each other. I'm taking them both to live with me"
That's...whatever as long as they believe her.
They all nod and tell her things like that's kind of you, poor kids, those beasts will pay for it along giving us looks full of sympathy.
I want to pluck their eyes out one by one.

Agatha is driving us to her house.
"I thought he is a vampire but a werewolf? And you asked him what? He could have killed you!" Agatha scolds, facing forward.
"Don't worry about that" I say to drop the topic, my focus is on the scenery we are passing by. The first thing I notice that there are no trees, no grass or anything with green color, all I see are stalls and buildings with different designs, some of which has a sign, probably indicating what the building is, like that one's sign says restaurant and that one says bar, whatever those mean.
There are also a lot of lamps stationed along the route and extending high to the sky, illuminating our way with dim orange but it's enough to see that the streets are busted, even though it's late there are lots of humans out.
I'm tempted to burn everything down.
"Honestly Sylvia" Agatha sighs "fine I admit it was a good idea and at least he knew what he was doing, the wounds weren't deep or else we would have stitched you" she shrugs "not that any of you need it but it will be suspicious if we don't"
"You got some knowledge" Elias says, his tone is harsh.
"If you're talking about the healing ability, everyone knows about it by now, they've seen it during there hunt before they realized that the heart is the death shot and well, my sister was always excited to update me on everything she learns" she sighs "you don't have to be alarmed though I've kept my mouth shut regarding everything else"
Elias glares at me for a second then back to Agatha "and how can we know you're trust worthy? What evidence you have that you didn't spill everything you know?"
"Just interact with the people, they keep babbling non stop about you guys and you will see it's nothing beyond healing and utter hate"
Silence falls for a moment.
"What about the weapons or their tactics?" I ask "they don't mention any of these?"
"You won't hear that kind of things between the common people on the streets, it's like secret information that's only discussed in specific places among specific people"
"And how can we acquire those secret information? It's why we are here after all"
"We will discuss that later" she yawns
"By the way Agatha do we need last names?" I ask and shift my focus back to the scenery, I like that the car doesn't have a roof covering it, I can enjoy the cool breeze as we move.
"No need, it's not like we have records of every single person, just stick to your names. We don't want to risk any of you forgetting your fake names"
Elias taps my shoulder and I turn to him, he hands me my three knives.
"Right thanks" I sheathe them back
"You're armed?" Agatha asks
"We both are, just in case something unexpected happens" to be honest I'm still skeptical about the idea of Agatha helping us but I can't deny that we need her knowledge, we are imposters here.

Agatha stops the car in a yard in front of her house, we drop from our seats and I glance around, her house is like the vampires' houses but the walls are painted in white not black and it has a triangular roof and windows, my room in the castle is the only one that has a window, any other room is completely blocked. Her yard is beautiful, besides where she parked the car there is a field of flowers and a small pool of water, its edges is lined with stones.
She unlocks the door then steps in and we follow, she turns on a switcher and the room is illuminated with a warm orange light. There are four doors at different corners, two of them probably lead to other rooms that one to the kitchen and that one to the bathroom, and unlike the white colored walls from the outside, the walls from the inside are covered with a wooden style wall paper, giving a comfortable sight as it fits the brown floor. The room we are standing in has a beige, fluffy look sofa. I toss myself on it.
"Make yourself comfortable" Agatha smiles as she walks to place her keys on a wooden table, there is a wide black screen device placed on it, I think that's what they call a TV, mom told me about it but I didn't understand what sort of things it is.
"Now first" she yawns and stretches herself "I'll give you a dress to change into so take that off, it's not severely damaged so I can sew that ripped part"
"I'll do it, just give me the sewing kit, you go to sleep" I say, she looks really tired.
She stares for a bit then smiles "all right, when you're done sleep in that room" she points to one of the doors "I'll sleep in the other one and Elias will sleep on the sofa here" she points to it and we nod.
She goes in her room for a minute then comes back with a dress and a sewing kit.
"Wake me up if you need anything"
"Don't worry, goodnight"
