Giving up my humanity

Chapter 28~ Vampires taking over the world

"Where are we going?" I asked Nicholas, we had been driving for hours.

"Trenton, New Jersey, it's where the base is."

"I would've guessed it was in Washington D.C." I shrugged looking back out the window.

"I work for a more secrative part of the CIA called Bureau for the Paranormal Research and Defense. It's brand new and all." Pride was in his voice.

"My father is the head secretary." He smirked.

I nod.

"New Jersey, huh?" I cocked an eyebrow.

"It hasn't changed much... but, it's getting better now that Roosevelt is in charge."

"He's a good man." I agreed.

"Indeed."

"I have feeling he'll lead this country very well." I thought out loud.

"Hmm."

"Can you tell me now, what is going on?"

"I can't." He seemed sincere and so I didn't push the subject any further.

But even through all this new information my mind went back to Matthew. I could hear his voice inside of my head telling me he loved me and missed me. But then I think about the bet and all the sadness and sorrow is taken over with anger and rage.

I clentched my hands and they started to turn yellow and then orange.

"Calm down, Emily. You don't want to blow up the car, do you?" Nicholas reached out one hand and placed it on my shoulder and I took several deep breaths and my hand went back to the normal white color.

"Did you mean what you said about Matthew?"

Nicholas looked at me quickly before returning his eyes back to the road.

"About what?"

"That you've never seemed so happy with anyone else than with me?" I asked, sheepishly.

"Yes," I sighed in relief. "But... he is or was a womenizer."

"Oh." My voice full with disappointment.

"I'm sure you'll find someone better, Emily. Someone who will treat the way you deserve." His smile held so much care.

"Thank you... Nick."

We reached Trenton a couple hours later. We arrived at the top of a hill that looked over Trenton. The building was completely new.

Four mortal guards stood at the front. Nick showed his badge and the gate opened automatically. There was a fountain in the middle of an oval drive way. Nick turned the car off and I opened the door and stepped out. Nicholas took out my suit case from the back seat and carried it.

"Follow me." Nick winked at me and I smiled at him before looking all around the building.

We entered a normal door and found oursevles in a big circle place. On one of the walls it had the number 51. I looked down at the floor and saw a symbol. It was of a hand holding the end of a sword and it was colored red.

I hear clicking sounds and the floor under me starts to go down. There was panic in my face and I heard Nick strain a laugh; I sent him a death glare and he stopped.

"It's all right. It's taking us to the base." He was clearly still trying not to laugh.

I nod in understanding.

For a couple of seconds all I faced was concrete wall, but when the floor reached its destiny I saw several unfamiliar faces and two familiar faces. One was Ray, the werewolf who had no certain expression on his face and then his son, whose name was still unknown to me.
