Walking with the Vampire |COMPLETE|

51. The Drive

Lily stopped Edgar at the entrance to Sonya's wing after he had given his report.
'What happened?' She asked pulling him to the side and away from inquisitive eyes.

'I don't know. I pulled Niko out of there before things got very serious.' Edgar replied.

Edgar instructed her to follow her into a more secluded area so they could talk freely.

'So we don't know if he was successful or if he was discovered.' She complained sounding angry at Edgar for leaving before they could get answers.

'We know what happened. If he went according to the plan, he killed Jeffery and ditched the body.' Edgar said. But Lily's expression didn't make him feel very certain that his version of how things should have happened was correct or even similar to hers.
'Lily...'
'Yes?'
She slid a nervous hand into her hair.

Edgar exploded with a string of violent curses aimed at all of life's creatures in existence.
'What the hell did he do?'

'He wanted to keep the body.' Lily confessed.

'And you told him not a chance in hell correct?'
He cursed some more when lily denied him the chance of hearing what he wanted to hear.

'He could ruin more than just the pack if he keeps Lord Nicholae's body.'

'All we needed from him is the ruin of the pack, the mistress would have handled the aftermath Lily.' Edgar wanted to shake her brains and rearrange it in her head.
She was simply over ambitious for her own good and it often lead to a lot of problems but it seemed she would never learn.

'Just trust me Edgar. This would work. I'm doing this for the mistress.'

'We have to leave, now.' Edgar said. It was the only answer if the demon failed. The witch Fauna would have him singing like a canary like she'd done with Tiana, and then they'd be outed as being accomplices.

'No we can't. The Mistress would not appreciate us running away before the fight here is really over.'

'She doesn't know we're here.' Edgar wanted to scream.

'The hell she doesn't. You think with her spies planted around no one would tell her about us?' Because she hadn't bothered to say anything to Lily, she saw this as the mistress approving of her plan. That is until it went south and then she'd punish Lily.
So Lily was not abandoning her post here until she was sure beyond a shadow of a doubt that the demon had been caught and killed.
'I'm not going anywhere Edgar. You can leave if that's what you want to do. But I'm staying.'

She walked away leaving Edgar fuming.

'Lily. I can't sleep.' Niko stood a few distance away with Rex in tow.

'I don't know what you want from me kid.'

Edgar stepped into view.
'Would the young Lord like to go for a morning drive?'

He crouched before the boy patting his hair making Niko smile.

'I'd like that very much.' He looked up at Lily,
'Would you like to join us? It'll be fun.'

'I'm sorry my lord, I'm very busy.' She flipped her hair and walked off.

'She doesn't like me very much right now that's all.' Edgar said in excuse for Lily's flippant behavior to the young Lord however the young man didn't look as if he believed Edgar.

'So why couldn't you sleep my Lord?' Edgar decided to break the lengthy silence when they drove into the waking city of Nike.
The towering scrappers created the illusion of touching the skies.
He could see working pedestrians entering buildings even at the crack of dawn.
He soon returned his attention to the rear view mirror, Niko was still looking out the window at the busy people he might never understand.
With the wealth and power his family possessed he wouldn't ever have to understand.
