Hunters

Chapter 2.

"So, you agree that not all vampires are bad?" Dani asked and Violet nodded without hesitation.

"But it still doesn't mean that Papa is wrong. He just looks at them differently. Do you understand?"

"Yes, I think so." Dani said.

"That's my girl." said a smiling, Violet. "Now let's go get something to eat."

Chapter 4 : Stefan

Stefan Vasiliev was seated in the first class compartment of a Lear jet which was on a flight from Transylvania to Canada.

The Romanian Council owned the jet and it was one of the best on the current market.

Stefan was of medium height with classic slavic features, tanned skin and short blonde hair combed straight back.

Ten hours later he had collected the black Toyota Highlander S.U.V
that had been left for his use in the parking lot at Detroit National airport.

After crossing the Ambassador bridge into Canada, Stefan removed a gold ,Gresso IPhone from the pocket of his black, leather Pilot's jacket and spoke briefly in Tuvinian to the second in command of his Siberian team.

He had come to Canada to seek out the Andersen family specifically and present them with the peace treaty on behalf of the Romanian Council.

If they refused then Stefan's orders were simple:

Wipe them out.

His IPhone played Stravinsky's "Petrouchka" as a ringtone.

Stefan checked the caller I.D before answering it.

"Yes?"

"We have located the hotel owned by the Andersen family here in Jacques ." came the raspy voice of Ivan Sokolov

"Give me the coordinates for the G.P.S system."

Ivan did so.

"I'm twenty minutes away." Stefan said curtly and ended the connection.

The mid-sized, city of Jacques sits on the Saint Lawrence river in the mostly French speaking province.

It's bright lights illuminated the night like a string of fairy lights and the buildings were tall and substantial, the wide streets were full of traffic.

The hotel was in the financial district on Tirelire avenue and
it was a handsome, gray stone building reminiscent of the Hotel Continental Forum in Sibiu ,Transylvania.

Stefan checked into an economy room on the fifth floor while the four members of his team were in the bigger, adjoining room.

They were Ivan Solokov, an ex cop with pale, brown hair and a compact physique.

He was joined by the Popov brothers who were both tall and slender with round faces and their black haired cousin Sasha Petrov.

All four had been trained by Stefan.

The only one he trusted was Ivan.

Stefan ordered steak and a chilled bottle of lime flavored, Perrier from room service and finished his meal standing at the window facing the river.

Generally his system did not require human food though he had trained himself to eat so that he could appear human when in their company.
