Chapter 4: The Dinner

Chapter 4:

The Dinner

My thoughts haunted me by the fact that my closes friend might be captured or be killed by someone. I need to find action immediately. First, I must find Luis with this crowd of exhausted people. "Wake up Fuckers! Party's over! Go Home!" yelling across the hall, I know everyone heard me. I went to Luis door but it was locked, so I smashed the door knob and went inside. He is still making love with his human, I startled Joan and cover herself up. "Sis get out, this is exclusively with two people" then one blonde came out of the bathroom "OK, two" then he smirk. "Get up and dressed up, we don't have time with your threesome right now" I looked at him with a straight face. He knows I'm not kidding around and did what I commanded. "You two get out!" "Joan stays!" he strongly insisted "It's about Vi" I replied. He knows that Joan can't know our secret of being an upir "I'll see you in a bit" he told Joan with a soft peck in her lips. 

As they went outside, I closed the door and told what happen. He sits in his chair and look conflicted. Something is wrong like he is hiding something from me, this is the first time that I saw his face like that. "Don't believe what Vi said, she's a traitor" I can tell from his voice that he is upset of what happened. "Father banished her and she is being haunted." He walks towards me and said "Promise me Ems. Don't contact or follow her she's dangerous." "Then why didn't you tell me? Why hide all this from me?" "Because I know what she is to you. You grow up with her, she is like a mother to you. I know our Mother is not fond of you and that hurts me deeply but I try to push her to you" "This is not about Mother. This is about my closes friend being banished without me knowing." "I'm sorry I hide it to you but it's for your own good I'm protecting you" "What have she done?" "Asked Father". He refuse to tell me more and I'm tired and exhausted I need to sleep. I left the room and went straight to mine. 

I'm all worn out, physically and mentally spent, I need something to relax my body. I grab my phone and press 8 then call, all I need to hear is two rings then press end call. I drew a bubble bath, grab a blood bag to my closet and put all my clothes to the laundry and I went in the tub. Couple of minutes later I sense someone coming and yelled "The door is open", Lily opened the door. Lily Elise Jones is a friend, she majored in Mass Communication in the same university. We also have an agreement regarding to our physical need. I call her in two rings and she knows that I need her and vice versa, of course. She only lived three streets down to our loft and Ramon knows her, so she can easily come and go to the loft. I meet her two years ago, she is wet and alone with a big bag of suitcase in a bus stop. It's almost midnight and she is waiting for a bus that will not arrive til tomorrow. I offered her a ride to my Jeep, at first she refuse but I am persistent and had no choice but to come with me. She told me her story about being cut off and being run away kid. She's a little rebel, a black sheep to her family, she also has no money in her hands that night. We went to a hotel and pay for two days. I told her that she can live there for two days as I looked for an apartment for her. As her personality goes, she refuses at first but again I am very persistent. She agrees but only if she can pay me in some way. I offered nothing but she can be persistent and suggested something we can both enjoys.

I pay for her bills in the apartment, as time goes by we get to know each other better and remain one of my closest friends. She doesn't know that I'm an upir, she will be killed if she knows other creature roam around the world other than human. Somehow our community always known and always get killed. In a way she is my human pet, I claimed her body and any other upir can't touched her. In some unexplained way, other upir can sense if someone else have been claimed but this only applied to human. No one knows this arrangement but Ramon, Luis and myself but I kind of suspect that Madame Vivien knows of my human. I am very protective of my things, maybe that's why I invited Lily beside me when I learned about Madame Vivien. I mean years of serving this family, she basically raised me, but I don't want anything like that in my head. I just want to get fuck by someone I can trust right now.
