Apparently, they decided to have the VIP lounge in the Dean's quarter, as soon as we enter, the people sitting stood, I guess it was out of respect or something of that sort. We step in and the door closes behind us, I look around and notice a round table with five empty seats, I suppose this is a formal meeting but I could not help but wonder who the fifth person is, we walk to our respective seats beside each other and I could not help but feel at peace and a bit exhausted, but still at peace like I have found my home and I could not help but secretly smile.
After we sit down they all sit and start to introduce themselves.
One of the two guys stand, he is dressed in a white shirt, a bolo tie and a grey colored vest, black trousers with black oxfords and draped over his shoulder is a long black trench coat with light colored linings and lapels. His hair which he unveils from the black porkpie he was wearing is a shade of black but under the light has a blue glint
"Hello there, the name is Aaron, grade alpha shifter and leader of the shifters factions, I look forward to working with you".
The first guy say with a cute smile, he did not look any older than 25 or maybe 30 with that smile but I should know better than to trust based only on what I see on the outside, for all I know he may be well over 70
"Our turn"
I turn towards the voices and see two girls who look nothing older than 17 wearing the same attire making them look more like high school students, they are both wearing a white shirt, a black tie, short black pleated skirt and black leather gloves, the only difference between the two girls was there contrasting expressions, not the high ponytail, not the hazel colored eyes, not even the beauty mark on their cheeks
"I am Jessie and she is Jenny, immortal assassins of Viskar and representers of the mundane faction".
Did she just say assassins? And immortal?
"You make it sound less presentable"
Jenny say with an eye roll
"How then do you suppose I put it dear sister ?"
Jessie asks with sarcasm dripping from her voice
"Can you both not start, at least not now ?"
The other guy say
"Hmph"
Jenny turns her face away with her eyes closed. I turn to see the other person stand, he is dressed in a white shirt and a black bolo tie with a sapphire gem on it, a black vest, tan colored trousers with black boots and draped over his shoulder was a beige colored long trench coat. I also notice he has a bandaged arm the kind that gets connected to your neck
"I am Tyler a vampire and leader of the vampire community, it is a pleasure to finally meet you"
He say with a slight bow, a french accent and a boyish grin making him look no more than 20 at most.
"As it is meeting you"
I reply with a smile.
"Where is Matia ?"
"She said she would be arriving late"
Jenny say.
"If someone had allowed me to kill her all those times I asked we would not have to wait for her anymore"
Jessie say turning to Kristean with an eye roll and an 'I told you so' expression and he just brings his head down and shake it.
Did she just say kill, does she really enjoy killing that much ?
"We are not revisiting that topic Jessie not now, not ever"
Kristean say with a straight face making him sound like he was tired of her already
"Good now that that has been taken care of and everyone has introduced themselves, let us get down to business shall we"
"How rude of you to start your little chit chat in my absence dearie, how rude".
"Matia, how nice of you to finally join us"
Kristean say with a smile
"How nice ?"
Jeremy say looking at Kristean
"More like she timed her arrival"
Justin say looking at her like a stalking eagle
"More like how rude"
Justin adds while Jeremy glared at her
"Well you have to pardon me dearies, there were some gossip I had to pick up on my way here"
She say bubbling with excitement like she could not contain her self
"Well we appreciate your presence, if you would just sit now"
And then she say and dropped her basket of flowers on the table and places her farmer hat on it and that was when I saw her clearly
"Mum ?"
I asked in shock
"Oh no dearie, auntie will be better"
"What ‽"
I ask in disbelief staring wide-eyed at the woman and trying to recall if I had ever seen her before
"Story for another day dearie we have pressing matters to resolve, do we not ?".
"Thank you Matia, now we all know that even with Kai's escape there has not been any major disturbance or threat that has been posed against our community and I have reasons to believe he is planning something really big".
"And I have proof to back your reasons dear, I hear he has built a machine that detects gifted ones"
Matia say, leaning forward and looking around like she was spilling some hot gossip
"That is highly impossible, I should be the only one that can detect them"
Kristean pipes in looking displeased
"Well, seems he has made the impossible turn possible"
Matia say with a smile
"He seems to be gathering an army of supernaturals"
The twins say at the same time.
"Jinx"
They both said again
"Double jinx"
They say again with laughter
"How about I jinx you out of existence ?"
Justin said with a creepy and crooked smile in a sickley sweet voice
"Now that that is settled how about we get back to the 'gathering' matter ?"
Jeremy asks with worry and annoyance etched on his face
"I have reasons to believe them, recently my guys have been getting complaints from the ration faction. They say our ration do not get returned and the ones that do, are found dead. They say it was done by rogue vamps and last time I checked none of my guys have gone rogue"
Tyler say with anger
"There has also been sightings of mythical creatures and rampage of some of them, we had to ask the vampires to make the witness and victims forget"
Aaron said
"Wait let me get this straight, you keep track of all your guys ?"
Jessie asks with awe staring wide-eyed at Tyler like a kid staring at a lollipop
"Uhm yeah, I do"
Tyler reply staring at her trying to wonder the reason for the question
"Why do we not keep track of all our kills too ?"
Jessie asks turning to face Jenny with an expression that looks like a pout and a scowl on her face
"You do not, I do"
Jenny reply with a straight face without bothering to look at her
"He is planning a war, and a large one"
Justin say
"Thank you for pointing that out Sherlock Holmes"
Jessie say with sarcasm
"Can you say something that is not so obvious"
Aaron pipes in looking at Justin
"Not just with our Academy, he is planning one with all the supernatural academy and organizations"
"How do you know that ?"
Jeremy asks looking puzzled
"If he wanted to wage a war with just us, he would have done it a long time ago"
Justin reply with an eye roll
"Maybe he does not have enough armies yet"
Tyler suggests with a shrug
"He is looking for you"
Matia say turning to look at me dead in the eye with a smile
"What ?"
We all asked in unison
"Why me ?"
"You are one of a kind dearie"
"How do you know this ?"
Kristean asks
"Well there is a rumor spreading around Pandemonia that Kai is recruiting bounty hunters to search for a boy with pale skin, white hair and white eyes"
Matia say, her eyes still on me
"Now why did you not start with that ?"
Jeremy asks with disbelief in his voice
"I do not know. I am an old woman, it probably slipped my mind"
She replied with a smile
"Would you like to share with us what other things 'slipped your mind' ?"
Jeremy asks sarcastically adding air quotes at the end
"I think the question we should be asking is how in the first place does he know what the boy looks like ?"
Aaron says with a matter-of-fact tone
"Well is it not obvious Sherlock, he has got a spy in the school"
Jessie say
"That is also obvious, what he meant was how did the spy get past without you knowing" Jenny say flicking her sister forehead and looking at Justin. Causing us all to look at him
