What Derives From Hate?

** Jennifer's POV **

Viktor smiled at them and held out his hand. My boss, and co-boss looked at me and then shook his hand. Both my boss and co-boss were Klaustreich's. Uh oh! They shook hands and voulg'd only so us people could see them.

Boss Man
Blutebaden!

Viktor
Klaustreichs!

Me
Stop it! All of you. There's been enough bloodshed infront of my eyes and i do not need my dearest friends dead in front of me like Samuel Holsinger had. I do not need people i care about dead because they couldnt save themselves! So, no blood and if there is I will cut off your heads.

My friends voulga back to human form and breath out heavily. I flit my eyes to each one and take a deep inhale of my own. Viktor gives me the 'Im so sorry. Forgive me?' look. I nod with a small smile. My boss and co-boss look at me strangely.

Boss Man
Why're you working with a blutebaden?

Viktor
Reformed... Blutebaden.

Me
Why do you have to be so judgemental all of a sudden? Huh?

Boss Man
Dont you talk to me like that.

Me
I am not under your orders. I am doing this for my friends, not you. Now, i need to get to the rest of my fucking legion and tell them fucking info that will get my three friends outta the damn hospital.

I walk away with Viktor following closely behind. There's a black Aventador and I smile. I see inside and the keys are still in. Me and Viktor hop in and drive.

Viktor
So, do you know where this place is?

Me
If my memory serves me right. Its underground.

Viktor
Underground?

Me
Did I stutter?

Viktor
No. So, where underground?

Me
Well, its under the police station here.

Viktor
Do you work with the police?

Me
God no! If they figured out what we do they'd execute all of us but here i am. Immortality.

Viktor
You are so lucky to have that.

Me
I really am, Viktor. I really am.

Viktor
Why are you working with me?

Me
Im friends with another reformed blutebaden back in Portland. So, naturally, i am trying to trust blutebaden.

Viktor
If one of your parents were immortal, how did they die?

Me
Oh no. I was adopted.

Viktor
What?

Me
I was born from different people whom are immortal and then my 'supposed' family bought me.

Viktor
Yeesh. Hard knock life.

Me
Yeah. You're telling me.

Viktor
Would you ever want a normal life?

Me
That would put everyone i love in the brink of death and danger 02. So, no. I do not want a normal life. Do you?

Viktor
I mean, ive thought about it but once my wife died because of a coyotle. I couldnt. I would live as a blutebaden for my wife.

Me
Im so sorry about your wife, Viktor.

Viktor
Dont be. Its-- its in the past now.

Me
Oh and uh, Vik. The station is up there.
