Elijah's Pov
One word to explain the inside of this hotel. Wow. For it to look completely abandoned from the outside, it looks incredible inside. These guys really took living to the extreme. I continue to follow Olivia and Jackson while I look around the place in awe. It was quite nice to be in a place like this. There was a bar running across one wall. By the smells of it, it was a mixture of blood and alcohol being served there. I follow the two until we arrive in front of a man who was wearing a black buttoned up shirt with a blazer, black shoes and a pair of black pants. His hair was smoothed back and he had rings on his fingers. He currently had a glass of what looked like blood in his hand while he talked to the women surrounding him.
To an ordinary person, he looks no older than 25 years old. Considering he was a vampire though, there is no telling how old he is. The man laughs at something one of the women say to him and he turns to look at us finally. "Olivia, who is this?" She grins, putting a hand on my shoulder. "This is Elijah. He's new around here, but I thought you would like to speak to him. For he has something interesting to tell you." The man nods, standing up from his chair. He motions for me to follow him. I glance at Olivia who nods to follow him. I slowly follow the vampire further into the lobby until we take some turns and end up in a huge room. A table sat in the middle with chairs surrounding it. A small bar was at one wall, no one being currently behind it. I guess this room was for meetings or something. I was interrupted from my thoughts when the man speaks up.
"I suppose I should introduce myself before asking what Olivia wanted you to tell me," he was perched on one of the stools at the bar, facing me with his arms crossed over his chest. "I am Nicolas Ansel. I am the head vampire of this clan, as you can tell. I am 856 years old, even though I look good for my age," he chuckles, standing up again. "Now what is it that is so interesting about you?" Nicolas arches an eyebrow, examining me. "Well, I did not find it that interesting."
"It must be if Olivia found it interesting."
I sigh, rubbing the back of my neck. "I woke up in an abandoned building with no memory of the last few centuries. I only know my name, species and age." I don't mention that I can walk in the sunlight without being burnt. That is probably I should not mention to someone else. He nods, tilting his head to the side. "That is interesting. I wonder why." I nod, sitting down in one of the chairs. Sudden exhaustion hit me, but I tried to hide my tiredness. A vampire being tired at night would be strange to the others. "Well, Elijah. You are always welcomed here. Would you like to go get a drink?" I look up, "By drink do you mea-.." "blood. Human blood." I think for a moment, I did just feed yesterday, but I am already feeling famished. I stand up, "Alright. I could go for a drink." I follow him out the door, into the mass of the vampires who were partying it up. Let's just say, I'm going to regret staying so late.
***
4:00 a.mThe time mocks me. The red numbers on the alarm clock. I groan, staring at the hour. Why did I choose to stay out so late? Maybe I could get at least two or three hours of sleep. I collapse into the bed, staring up at the ceiling. My mind was everywhere. I could not sleep right now. I should have thought twice about drinking that much blood. It is like a human having too much caffeine before bed.
I close my eyes, trying to fall asleep but it seems like every time I do some strange thing happens. This boy will appear in my mind. Like from a memory. But I don't have any memories. I groan once again, rolling over onto my stomach and bury my face into the pillow. I finally dose off sometime around 4:30.
***
I almost throw the alarm clock at the wall when it goes off in the morning. I sigh, sitting up and rub a hand down my face. I stand up, heading for the bathroom and strip my clothes off for a welcoming shower. I let the water hit my back, almost moaning from pleasure. Once I am done, I step out and grab a towel, wrapping it around my waist. I dig through the drawers, finding myself a clean tooth brush. I brush my teeth, riding of the blood taste from last night. I then dry my hair with the hair dryer I found. Yes. I, a guy, is using a hair dryer. There is nothing wrong for a guy wanting to look nice on the first day at the job. (Well maybe) I finish off drying myself and grab a pair of boxers, pulling them on.
I then go dig through the closet, finding a pair of skinny jeans and a white button up shirt. I pull the jeans on with little trouble and put the shirt on. I button it up, leaving the last two unbutton. I find some black converse and put those on as well. I think I look fine for a vampire of 325 years of age. I am pretty sure I am British as well. I shrug, looking into the mirror. I run my fingers through my hair, smirking at my reflection in the mirror. First day on the job. Perhaps it will be fun. I think I will be able to contain myself after drinking so much blood. I head for the door, grabbing a pair of sunglasses and sliding those on the way out. I shut the door behind me after locking it.
I feel quite rested even though I did not sleep much. Maybe because of the blood. Oh well. One goal of today was not to get caught by other vampires while being out in the sunlight. I hope that goal succeeds.
