Katera

Chapter 15: Watch Out and Get Ready

The next day when Maria goes to work and she overhears people talking about a recent vampire attack. Maria now thinks she's paranoid, hence why she kept on hearing about it. She then took a minute to clear hear mind in hopes the paranoia would go away and that she'd be able to focus on her work. In efforts to clear her mind, she looked out the window of the coffee shop and saw 3 people in the parking lot and they were attacking someone. Maria then rubbed her eyes and they disappeared. She was now convinced that her paranoia was getting worse.

The following morning Maria saw Adari and Rachel standing outside her apartment. Only seconds later did she find that they weren't really there. "Great, I'm still hallucinating. Will this ever stop?" Maria asked herself.

That night in Vér Városa Rico was speaking with a few of his subjects.

"I have summoned you here, because a have an important task I need you to take care of."

"What would that be?" One of the subjects asked

Rico explained to them what it was he wanted them to do

"Now you all know what you are to do, don't disappoint me." Rico said sternly with a serious look on his face.

"Yes, your majesty." they responded. Hours later after the sun had risen the headed to Tessera to start their assignment.

The three vampires entered into Tessera

"Miruki, Amura, So we're here now just need to track down this girl." Ki stated

"Since you're the only one who's actually seen this person, would you care to enlighten us?" Amura

"I can't really give you more info than you've already been given. She's about 5' 5'' blue eyes, blue hair. That's all I can give you."

"Wow, you're a real help Ki." Miruki stuttered sarcastically

Days passed, it was now nearing the end of the week and Maria was getting fed up with her paranoia. She began getting very irritated with it because she had a much harder time telling what was real and what was just another hallucination.

Over in Katera Suri was speaking with Adari about Vér Városa.

"It's been nearly a week since those scouts were spotted in our territory your majesty. Are you sure Vér Városa is still coming?" Suri asked Adari

"They are probably just taking their time. Maybe they want us to think they aren't coming so that we lower our defences so that they can take us down more easily. That is something I will not fall for." Adari responded

"I understand that, but doesn't it seem strange they are taking so long? They never struck me as the patient type."

"I understand what you're saying, but that aside, how is our guest doing?"

"She has made quite a bit of progress since she came, I'd say she's about ready to be released."

"I'll be the judge of that."

Adari then went over to their prison where Rachel was quarantined. He went to the cell she was being held.

"You look fatigued." Adari said

"How long do you on plan to keep me imprisoned here?" Rachel asked

"Only until you're well enough to be released. Also don't think of this as imprisonment your being kept here for the safety of yourself and others."

"Sure sound like the defining purpose of imprisonment."

"I've decided I would let you out for tonight but under moderation so I can see how much progress you've made." he said then he turned to Kani, the prison guard "Unlock her cell."
