Falcon's Order

Hope [III]

 "How thoughtful of you Miss Alice to show to the meeting, did you get here late for an effect of drama?" One of the elders said as they looked at me.

I cleared my throat slightly before I spoke.

"I apologize if I made you wait if I would've known that you were expecting me I would have been here earlier," I told them as I headed to the middle of the room.

"Even if it wasn't us you should never let someone wait for you." Another elder said as she met my gaze.

I nodded, respect was something quite delicate for them.

"Once again I apologize for the delay," I said as I headed to my seat.

As the meeting went by the members of the Association and the Headmasters told the elders how the situations were, the tactics they were using, and which were the plans they were going to use in the future. As they spoke I scribbled along a white page doing all sorts of designs and drawings, Alik looked at me and met my gaze questioningly but I simply shrugged, I would speak when the time came.

"Ms. Wythman." One of the elders said and I nearly looked up due to an old habit, and I hated myself for it.

"Her last name is Watson, it was never meant to be Wythman," Eva said correcting him as she noticed the dark look the passed through my face.

"Alice?" The elder said.

I pushed a curl away from my face and looked up.

"Yes?" I said as I looked at them.

"Your mother told us about a theory you have about the attacks, you knew there was going to be an attack hours before it did, how exactly did you do that?" The elder asked me.

I shrugged and got up walking towards were Alik, Mathew and Eva were.

"Like you said I have a theory, I have kept a close record that a friend of mine provided me and I have kept adding the most recent attacks, most hunters believe they were random attacks but they aren't, these attacks follow a certain pattern, always attacking towns never cities, for some odd reason they always avoid big cities and judging by the last attack they have the potential and power to take out any city," I said as I stood in front of them.

"If they can why haven't they attacked any cities yet?" One of the elders asked me, she was more than confused.

"Because they don't have to, within the city there are a great variety of meeting centers, subways and clubs were the vampires can simply turn humans without the need of having an attack. Several cities are being invaded like that, it's how clubs are working now, I had the chance in being in one of them in England, Alik would you mind on explaining them the insides of how this operation works since you have more information about that then I do?" I told him as I gestured him to take over.

As Alik explained to them how these nightclubs worked the elders looked at me perplexed.

"And how do these clubs and their activities have to do with the attacks like the recent one?" The elders asked me.

"In these towns where they attack, they are no nighttime places so when it's clouded the vampire's attack and take the people as hostages not to kill them but to turn them that is why none of the hunters have found bodies or remaining of the hostages since they aren't any to find," I told them, because of this we could not tell how many had been turned or killed.

"Then what do you suggest us to do Alice, you are the one that calls the shots after all," Mathew said as he looked at me.

I felt each one of them looking at me; they were all waiting for my answer.
