Trinity Moon

Chapter 2

I walked into the shelter and saw there was a front desk.  I walked up to  the window.  There was an older woman sitting there.  She had long gray hair done up in a bun on the top of her head.  She was wearing a blue blouse and a black skirt.  She'd gone soft around the middle with age.  She smiled at me and asked if she could help me. 

"I hope so.  I'm needing shelter for the night, " I told her. 

She had me fill out some forms then assigned me a room. Said I could leave my stuff for the day but had to be out in the morning.  I agreed to everything and went to my room and went to sleep.  

The next morning I woke up, put my sun block on and got dressed.  I made sure my face and hands were covered with sunblock.  I went out front and saw some people standing by a bus stop.  I went over there and asked them how much did the bus cost.   They told me the price.  I waited with them.  As I was waiting I started thinking about what I needed to do.  Find a place to live, have money and clothes. 

The bus came and picked us up.  I rode it to the station.  I went inside and asked the receptionist where the library was.  She gave me directions.  I set out to the library.

I was getting hungry again.  On my way to the library I ducked down an alley.  Just my luck.  There was a homeless man hanging out in the alley.   I charmed him into letting me bite him.  I didn't drain him this time.  I used my powers and made him forget he saw me.

I made it to the library and got on the computer.   I searched for places that gave away clothes.   There was a clothes closet close by.  I also looked up a job placement place.  There was one on the other side of town. 

I wondered over to the clothes closet. There was an office.  I went in and talked to them for a minute.  They gave me a listing of jobs that were hiring.  I thanked them and then went over to the clothing building.   I handed them the piece of paper the office gave me.  They let me go back and look at clothes.  As I was perusing an ailse one of the goth chicks that I saw last night rounded the corner.  She and I both paused and stared at each other for a minute.  Then I nodded once and she came towards me. 

"Hi I'm Helen," I told her.   She grinned and chuckled.

"Think I'm here to make friends, chica?". She said softly.   "I come here to send an invite from Himself.".

"And who is that?" I whispered.

"The master.  Who else would I be talking about?"

Oh shit.  I thought.  The Master Vampire.  I somehow managed to come under his radar.  I smiled at her hoping my worry didn't show.

  "Of course.  Sure.  I'll go.  Where does he want to meet?"

"Colonial warehouse.  2pm tomorrow, and look pretty." She chuckled and sauntered off.

Ah man.  It's been a while since I have met a Master vampire.  I wondered who this one was.  I really didn't want to go.  I don't have anything against them it's just killing one would suck.  I didn't want to think about that. 

I went to the end of the ailse and stopped.  In front of me was a mirror.  I took a look at myself.  I was wearing blue jeans, black leather boots, and a black T-shirt that showed some cleavage.  My hair is long, blonde and wavy.  I have bright green eyes.  I looked a little spooked.  After a minute I shook my head and wondered over to the next row of clothes.

I picked out four outfits and left the clothing pantry.  My next order of business was to locate the warehouse that the Master lived in. 

I went back to the library and did a search of colonial warehouse.  I found the address.  It was in the industrial part of town.  It looked like the bus went close to it.  That was good.  I closed out of the applications on the computer and headed back towards the shelter.   I had to duck behind a building to find another meal.  Luckily there was someone smoking.  I made it fast food and made it to the shelter in time for check in.  

The next day I dressed for success.  Black skirt, red shirt, black business jacket and my leather boots made up my outfit.  My roommate let me use her makeup and put my hair up in a complicated knot on top of my head.  I looked in the mirror.  I didn't recognize myself.  I looked like a Greek goddess.  Should impress the Master. 

I left the shelter that morning feeling good about things. 

I found breakfast and then went to the library for a little bit.  I wanted to see if there was any information on the master vampire. 

I googled it and came up with everything but what I was looking for.  Frustrated I logged out of everything and made my way to the bus stop.  Time to meet the master.
