"Wake up you lazy bum," Century roars in an English accent identical to his brother's.
"Don't call me a lazy butt," I yawn, stretching my legs out in front of me.
"I-"
"Isn't bum what you British call butt?" I ask, turning to look at him. A dark spot on his shoulder catches my attention. "Why is your shirt wet?"
"Because you drool," Illusion responds, sounding Irish.
"I thought you said you were from the UK, Illusion?" I ask.
"I am?"
"Irish accent?"
"Northern Ireland is part of the UK, Domo," Nicolae informs.
"Oh. And why would his shirt be wet if....I....oh," I finish lamely, turning red and staring at my hands in my lap.
"We have arrived at the airport. In the time you were sleeping, Century had a drawn out argument with Nicolae about how he would not release such top secret information as your name," Eventide says, obviously hinting that said information should be presented.
"Thank you Nicolae."
"No problem, Domo."
Eventide fixes me with an evil glare as Illusion and Infinity exit the van. I try to open the door, but it refuses to move.
"Childlock, Domo." Century mocks, sticking his tongue out at me.
"I like being Domo over Churro," I reply in a singsong voice. Illusion opens the door and I hop out of the van, smirking at Century.
As we walk through the parking lot, I suddenly turn to Nicolae.
"I thought you said you grew up in Japan?"
"Hmm? I did. When I was little," He responds offhandedly.
"But a little while ago you said you were Austrian, inside and out."
"I was born in Austria, spent twelve years there, my dad - who I said was German because I wanted to be general - was killed off by a Vampire, me. My mother moved me to Japan, her home country, and I spent my life there until I was twenty five. That's when Innie came looking for me and we went to Canada. I think Illy was there too. Crest and Churro were still in the UK though, stinkin' brits."
"But- how did your father not know you were a Vampire?" I ask, becoming thoroughly confused.
"Oh, that's what we wanted to tell you, actually! We're not Classics!" Nicolae chirps. "We're a new breed. We have a sensitivity to light, an allergy to wood, and we aren't actually damned! We get special powers too that make us stronger than the Classics. We're the secret weapon! But there's only a couple hundred of us in existance, and a couple dozen discovered. They're in the safehouse we're going to. There's a holy water barrier, so Classics can't get to it. We are hereditary creatures, but since we're-" Nicolae gestures to the group of new Vampires "-the first generation, you can understand why there aren't very many of us, nor are we birthed like we would have been had we been the second generation. Basically we're a mix of Blue Blood, Silver-Ringed Vampires and Classics."
I stand still in shock. These people are....
"Do you guys also encourage incest?!" I exclaim out of nowhere.
Five heads swivel around to stare at me like I have four arms and three feet.
"That's a Blue Blood thing. Incest actually improves the likelihood of having two Silver-Ringed sets of children. Among the Silver-Ringed, it's even more popular. I don't think a Gold-Ringed Vampire has been born from two Silver-Ringed ones in awhile, actually." Illusion informs.
