Moon Dust

Chapter 12

After two weeks of being in Jamaica, Ezra decided that they had overstayed their welcome in Enchanta. Before they left the Grand White Witch told Ezra that her daughter would be accompanying them much to Isis's protests. Ezra had agreed because he welcomed the extra help but Lexia wasn't too happy when she heard the news, in fact she was furious. Dylan had found interest in other mage women who had been interested in his fantasies, he had made up his mind that he would not subject himself to being a slave to his mate bond but every time he would try to kiss a girl his body would resist so strongly that all he could do was swim or party with them. They left in the late evening where they caught a bus that took them to the airport then they were off. They arrived in Romania where Ezra decided he would visit his long time teacher, Despero.

"Welcome Ladies and Gentlemen to 'The Thirst'. Please enjoy your stay and gentlemen there are rules so no rushes. If you over drink you will be thrown out. No exceptions." Despero relayed this information over the intercom so everyone could hear. He couldn't afford any slips ups because his club had a very high reputation.

He walked down the stairs where two ladies came and intertwined their hands with his and escorted him to the high rise V.I.P section in his club. He sat down in the middle and they both sat beside him and ran their hands over his body and giggled. Females, he thought, they'll do anything for money.  He smiled at them and bit into the blond one's neck then begun his feeding. He stopped when his phone rang. He picked it up and answered, a smile crept upon his face when he heard who was on the other end of the call,

"Ezra my darling, how are you?"

"I'm not so good Despero. I'm here at your club and your henchmen refuse to let me in."

"Nonsense, give him the phone.... Hello, yes let him in and don't let me come down there."

He threw down the phone and began feeding once again then stopped when a guard escorted Ezra and three other people to where he was.

"Ezra my son, welcome. Get up Kerry and Abby and get these lovely people some drinks and do clean yourselves up we have guests." Despero slapped Abby's round ass and she giggled as they both modeled away. He got up and hugged Ezra,

"Ahh my young pupil, it's been a long time hasn't it?" he motioned for him to sit down so they could talk.

"Too long. I see you haven't changed one bit," he replied.

"And where's the fun in that?" he asked him. "So my dear boy, who are these people you brought with you?"

Despero moved his gaze from Ezra to the people Ezra came with, two females and one male. The male looked strange to Despero and he couldn't quite place where he saw him previously but he emitted a strange aura. He could tell that the girl with the red lips was of his kind but the dark skinned girl had a witch aura and something else. Was it the smell of gods? This was certainly delectable news Despero thought to himself.

"Well these are my friends, Dylan, Lexia and Isis."

"I am not your friend tribrid, merely an acquaintance." The mage fired back and Despero had to admit he liked her fiery spirit.

"My guess is you're Isis," he greeted her and kissed her hand before she pulled it away. She had extraordinary skin and he couldn't help but smirk, "Come now sweets, no need to be harsh."

She smiled in a demonic way, "My race will end yours if it's the last thing I do."

"Oh is that a threat young Miss. I'd like to think you'd check your origins again if you think you're all witch," he smirked at her feeling satisfied when he saw the shock flash in her eyes for a moment before her gaze turned cold again.

He greeted the other female next, "You my dear are a ruby, but you do look a bit dull, perhaps a drink?" He motioned for Abby to bring a drink which he gave to Lexia. She looked at him strangely and took it.

"Come now everyone have a seat. It is my pleasure to meet you Dylan but I must ask, have we met previously?" he asked the familiar looking boy.

"No, I don't believe we have sir."

"Very well then. Ezra, will you follow me to my office," Despero saw the hesitation on Ezra's face, "don't worry they will be fine. Kerry darling, they are my special guests, please keep them happy." She nodded and Ezra followed him to his office.

*******

Despero's office had a dark theme to it. Velvety red curtains covered the windows and in the middle of the room there was a large black desk that had his chair and three chairs seated in front. There was a couch situated to the right corner of the spacious room where there were two light switches whenever he needed light. Despero mentally chuckled at how weird it was that he had a light switch in his office but it had to be there because from time to time he did business with the humans and other supernaturals. The light didn't bother him unless he stayed in it too long. To the left of the room there were two cabinets that had files for the nightclub and for any other business he partook in. On his desk, there was a pencil and pen holder along with an ash tray. He took a seat in his chair and motioned for Ezra to sit down.

"So my son, what brings you to my small corner?"

"Well I was coming from the Caribbean and a witch there let me speak with my mother so I came to relay the information to you since you helped me begin my search."

Despero smiled at Ezra's honesty, Ezra was like a son to him. "Well Ezra that's excellent news. I presume that you'll be continuing your search but what off your friends? Are they helping you or they have something to gain?"

"Well Dylan's quest is somehow tied to mine as he is in search of his father, who is Death, and Lexia has yet to tell me what her purpose is."

"Dylan's father is Death? No wonder he looked so familiar. Well it's good that you teamed up with him at the very least you should live longer." he chuckled at himself for saying that, "As for Lexia, I do not trust her so be very careful." Despero did not trust Lexia at all, she looked suspicious and he knew she had something to gain from this search, he just didn't know what. Vampires were not known for their kindness and there was almost always something in it for them.

"Tell me about the mage though, this Isis, she looks interesting."

"There's not much to tell, all I know is that her mother is the Grand White Witch and that she's Dylan's mate but she rejected him."

Despero licked his lips at the information he had just learnt, "What an interesting bunch. Come now lad, we must return to your friends." They got up and left his office to go back to the V.I.P section.
