It didn't take long until we found the café which was in the heart of Italy. I hadn't been near a Italy since the Pope thought I was Satan himself and sent the royal guard to burn me to the steak. Sure, that was back in 1890 but I'd rather not relive that.
Since Crystal is the alpha of Europe, I have to go with her to Italy because not only will I be safer but we will be granted free passage wherever we go. Dinah won't be able to come with because of all the issues going on in Kleinwood and North America and plus she's meeting with the Count and the five during the week with the other alphas. The Count is the oldest vampire and is allies with the wolves unlike Sebastian. The five are the other vampires expect from Sebastian and I. There are two girls are three boys and all of them are on the animal blood diet. The only vampires who aren't are Sebastian, The Count and myself.
The group going to Italy will be Crystal, Shawn, Matthew, Camila and I. Matthew has been very cooperative in giving up information and has stated his loyalty to Dinah and to test him, Dinah is sending him with us to Italy.
At first I was hesitant on letting Camila come with us but then I was anxious to let her out my sight so I agreed on letting her come with as long as she remained in my eye line at all times.
"The jets landing soon. Now Quincy's is in Rome. I received word from my contacts that Sebastian is in the area so it's likely we might run into him. If we do, act like nothing is wrong. So Lauren and Camila, if you two bump into him at any moment you are to act like you know nothing of him since you two might be his prime targets. If he clocks on to what's happening, run." Crystal explained the plan briefly to the group as we lowered into Italian airspace.
I looked to my right to see Camila looking toward Crystal with a panicked expression, I grabbed her hand and did something I'd always do, no matter how old I get.
"I'm going alone. Put a tracker, wire me but I'm not putting anyone in danger when this can be avoided so fucking easily." I say in practical order and Crystal sighs heavily and Camila slaps my thigh, hard.
"Are you just suicidal or plain stupid!" Camila shouted and I looked towards her with soft eyes. I cupped her cheeks and kissed her lips lightly.
"I'd feel so much more better knowing everyone is safe and away from him. I'm immortal, you guys on the other hand aren't. Plus, I've got business with him so yeah guess it makes me suicidal." I say with a smile and I get up and walk towards the exit of the jet before anyone could object."I'm putting a tracker in your shoe." Camila shouts before I can leave and I laugh at her and give her my trusty Doc Martens.
————————————————————
Quincy's was a very easy place to find. I asked the first person I saw, luckily I can speak practically every language under the sun or else I would've been screwed because the area the café is in, nobody speaks English at all.
Sebastian probably had something to do with that.
I walked into the shop to be hit with the intense smell of blood and coffee. The blood smell alone made me want to lose control but I couldn't, not around innocents, I drink Camila's blood for a reason, to not kill anyone. No powerful vampire or anything will change that.
Before I could even take in my surroundings a barista whose name tag read 'Maria' guided me to a table.
"What can I get you?" Maria asked in perfect English. She sounded like a posh British girl but I didn't exactly want to shout that out.
"Black Coffee with no sugar. I didn't realise there was any British in this area?" I say as she writes down my order and she looks up and smile politely and the smile reminded me of Jackie so much."Everyone who works here is English. Master says it makes him feel more comfortable when he returns knowing that his true nationality is around him." She responds with a happy smile that made my heart tug. They were compelled to act like they were in love. Poor humans.
"Well, it seems your Master can't let go of the past." I say with a soft voice and she grins before going to make my coffee. I look around the shop noticing how in this specific booth the scent of blood was a shit ton stronger than everywhere else.As Maria came back with my coffee someone else came into the shop and suddenly the citizens left the shop and every barista dropped to their knees with their mouths open. I looked up to see Sebastian with a evil smirk on his lips.
"Well, who will be the lucky one today slaves?" He said in a deep and lustful face that made my stomach churn. He either hadn't noticed my presence or didn't necessarily care.I watched in fury as he zipped down his fly and stopped in front of Maria and she sucked him with every ounce of strength she had.
"Michelle Morgado...or should I say Lauren Jauregui?" Sebastian called into the silence once his finished and he sat down across from me with a disturbing stare.
"Wait, I don't care. Anyway, what brings you to my shop? It's definitely not about the coffee." He said as he took my coffee and drank the rest in record time.
"What do you want? You're attacking me in my sleep, what do you want?" I spit out through gritted teeth and he laughed at me with a face that said not to mess with him.
"Like I tell you in said visions, she's mine and is very special to me." He said so simply and I raised my brow at him and he chuckled before going to speak again."Oh, and by she's mine, I mean Camila is mine."
