32 First Generation Vampires (1/2)
The five of them gives her time to calm down before they ask questions. At the time being they all went back to assure everyone that Diego's safe. They've been gone for hours and it's night already when they returned to the hotel. They were all greeted with a gratefulness that all of them are safe.
”Guys, sorry for worrying all of you. Let's all have barbecues outside and stargaze at the same time. The sky's pretty clear and the stars shines brightly upon us.” Diego scratches his nape.
”Manager Diego we're just so happy to know you're alright. And the barbecue sounds great.” The girls clings into him happily and drag him outside. They all prepared the ingredients for their barbecue party and enjoyed the night away with some beer.
In the morning, they all gathered in the hall for some special announcement. Li handed them envelopes and informs them of the sudden change.
”Everyone listen up! There's a change in the flow of activities. We talked about it last night and comes up with something. The day after tomorrow eerey set to leave the island and get back to work the next day. So, President Slacovich wants all of us to just enjoy our stay here. You can all explore the island except the area that's restricted. The beach is for you to enjoy but make sure to keep an eye on one another. Safety comes first. As for the filming, the artists can have their photo shoot in some areas where the scenery can be totally exposed. The client will pay for it as an advertisement for the opening of his hotel. Ara and Tyer will be there too.”
”What's with the envelopes?”
”That's Manager Diego's way of saying sorry. He caused such a ruckus yesterday that we cancelled the game.” Li teasingly chuckles.
”Hey hey, it's not my fault.” He winks and every girl falls for it. The employees opens the envelope and they're all happy to see what's inside.
”A little compensation for yesterday. There will be a yacht arriving here any moment. It's loaded with stuffs that you can buy as souvenirs. Buy some and give it to your families.” Slacovich puts his hand in his pocket and turns his back to leave.
”Thanks a lot bosses.” They're chattering happily. Some already planned put their own activity for the day. Some huried to the beach while others did some hiking. Ara and Tyler readied for the photo shoot and some filming.
Diego can't get the girl's face out on his mind. Her face keeps flashing everytime he closes his eyes. Li notices his sudden quietness and sits beside him by the shore.
”What are you thinking?”
”Nothing.”
”You're staring blankly at the sky. Nothing is not the right answer. Come on spit it out.”
”Well, it's just that. I have this feeling that I wanna see the girl badly. She keeps running inside my head and her face seems to flash everytime I close my eyes.”
”It must be love at first sight. I felt that way when I met General Yang. But the thought of killing him by my hands haunt my every dream.” Li's tears suddenly falls down to her cheeks. Diego never thought that she like loves General Yang.
”It's not your fault. Whatever we did back at the facility, the murder we commit. They're all unwanted. We don't have control over ourselves that time.”
”I know but I can't help it. But in your case, she's alive and well. And a human to be exact. Will she accept the fact thar you're a vampire? From the way she looks yesterday, her frightened face and shaking body. She's obviously scared.”
”Yeah, she will never accept someone like me. And I'm afraid I might hurt her if I lose control.” As they talk the vortex showed up in front of them. Li flashes to Slacovich's side and informs him about it. Both of them rushed towards it and together the three of them enters the vortex. At the other side, the girl's waiting silently. This time they landed safely. The girl's still scared cause she's obviously trembling but her courage to let them in is something Diego finds hope with.
”Are you ready to talk now?” Slacovich breaks the silence. The girl nodded.
”Please don't be afraid. We will never hurt you.” Li steps forward trying to get close to the girl. When she's a few steps away, she sits on the floor and smiles. The girl smiles back, even though she's still afraid of them. Slacovich leans on the wall near the girl while Diego sits beside Li.
”By the way I am Diego, this is Li and the grumpy guy over there is Slacovich.”
”Who are you calling grumpy?” He glared at him.
”Oh scary. See you're not the only one scared by this guy's presence.” The girl giggles. ”You look prettier like that.” The girl blushes and looks away.
”Now, now we're not here to see you flirt dummy.” Li chuckles.
”I'm sorry for not introducing myself and sorry for hurting you yesterday. It was out of impulse. I know you've heard the surname Brischt.” They were all dumbfounded on hearing the familiar surname.
”How are you related to Dr. Brischt?” Slacovich gets more curious about the girl's identity.
”My name is Carolina Brischt. The daughter of the one who makes such monsters.” They can all see the hatred in her eyes.
”What happened back then, I killed your father.” Slacovich steps in front if her. She clenches her fist and geind his teeth in anger. Slacovich expects her to punch her to relieve her anger but what she did was unexpected. She let's out a sigh before speaking again.
