"Define interesting~ Come on, tell me~" She smiled a bit as she took his toast from him, throwing it into the sink. "Stop stuffing your face and tell me~ I'm not telling you my plans until you tell me what happened last night~"
|
Aaron frowned when the toast was ripped from his hand, "You are so damn annoying sometimes." He sighed as he rolled his eyes. "Not much happened really, we just talked. I got shot in the arm, he removed the bullet. See not much.." He shrugged really want to eat his food but he didn't want it to go into the sink like his piece of toast.
|
A pout came upon her face, "Lame..wait..you got shot!?" She leaned over to look at his arm, "Why'd you get shot? Did he..do anything weird?" She was a bit nervous to hear he was shot..after all, Adelais was a vampire.
|
Aaron pulled up his sleeve to show her the blood stained bandage. "Don't know, I was walking to my car from my bosses house after dropping some files off. Then I heard some running and as I turned I got shot." He shrugged his shoulders a little. "Adelais? No other then breaking into my apartment, he didn't do anything weird. Well if you call it breaking in when you leave your keys in the deadbolt because you are about to pass out from blood loss." He grabbed his plate and stepped back a couple steps. He took a bite of bacon, "He basically saved my life, I couldn't get the damn bullet out." He shrugged again.
|
She nodded, "I see...wait..why'd he come here in the first place? Oh~ I think you have a staallkkerr~" She winked, nudging him lightly. "That's so cute~" She chuckled, leaning back on her hands and swinging her feet a tad. "Adelais is very..talented..and so..so very intelligent. It's rare for him to actually make any connection with anyone..."
|
"I don't mind, as long as he doesn't break into my house in the middle of the night and bind and gag me to my bed. That is one night I will never forget." Aaron shuddered a bit. "I could tell he is very intelligent. I could tell that to, his social skills were a little... lacking." He shrugged his shoulders a bit. "I don't mind, it makes things very interesting and challenging. Which both things are good." He pointed his piece of bacon at Gene as he nodded. He took another bite of bacon and quickly chewed and swallowed it. "Now, what are your plans for the day?" He smiled a tad.
|
"My plans are classified~ Only those with the proper clearance can know~" She winked jumping down from the counter and lacing her fingers behind her back. "His social skills are way below par..even for his age.." She shrugged, looking back to Aaron, "You should go out with him again tonight..I think he'd like it. He wouldn't tell me what you did last night, so that's a good sign."
|
"Ah, so that means your gonna go and meddle in someone's love life." Aaron chuckled. He frowned a bit, "I...I really shouldn't. Mainly for work reasons, I don't want anything to happen to him if people find out we are 'dating'." He sighed a bit as he looked to the floor. He laid the plate on a counter and quickly grabbed Gene's shoulders, "Anyways, you should go and do your business. Plus I would like to relax on my day off." He smiled as he pushed/pulled her to the door.
|
She frowned slightly, but nodded, "I understand..." She smiled a bit then headed over to the door, "Or maybe invite him over for a night in? That way no one will know" She winked then headed out the door, shutting it behind her before he could answer.
|
Aaron sighed a bit as Gene shut the door, "They would find out." He locked the deadbolt and leaned against the door for a moment. "Plus I don't have his number." He pushed himself off of the door and went to grab his plate to eat his now cold eggs. He walked back into the living room and plopped down on the couch. He quickly went through the channels and stopped on the news when he saw a picture of the person he and Adelais murdered last night. He turned the volume up to clearly hear what the reporters were saying. "Chairman and CEO of Wellsman Industries, Robert Wellsman was found dead in his room this morning. As far as the medical examiner is telling he died of a heart attack...." Aaron turned the TV down not wanting to hear anything else. He pinched the bridge of his nose, he never liked to hear about the people he murdered.
|
Not only had Genevieve interrupted Aaron's breakfast, she left a card on the counter with Adelais's number. She would get these two together even if it was the death of her! She put her hands in her pockets, humming as she headed down the street back to her house. Now, she could've driven, but it was such a beautiful day she opted to walk.
|
Aaron sighed a bit as he walked into the kitchen with his empty plate. As he laid the plate in the sink he noticed a card on the counter. He sighed fully as he picked up the card, he scanned over the card. He wasn't surprised to find that it was Adelais number. "Very sneaky Gene." He smiled a little as he slipped the card into his pocket. He wanted to relax a little more before he called Adelais.
|
Adelais frowned as he watched the news cast. They were broadcasting a small tribute to Mr. Wellsman. He scoffed, "Completely oblivious.." With a shake of his head, he turned the tv off, forcing himself off the couch, his hands going into his pockets as he teleported himself outside. He made sure to block any nearby humans from seeing him, then continuing down the block.
|
Aaron pulled out his phone and the card with Adelais' number on it. He laid down on the couch and dialed the number. In a way he didn't want to call Adelais but in a way he did. He also didn't know what he was going to say to him. He sighed a bit as the phone rang.
|
Adelais pulled his phone out of his pocket as he felt it vibrate, looking at the number, "Now who could this be?" He flipped it open and put the speaker to his ear, "Hello..?"
|
"Adelais? It's Aaron, Gene gave me your number and I wanted to see it you wanted to... Do something tonight?" Aaron nearly trailed off but kept his 'cool'. He didn't know why asking Adelais 'out' made him so nervous. "If your busy I understand." He smiled even though Adelais couldn't see it.
|
Adelais was silent a moment. Genevieve put him up to it. He just knew it. "Well good morning Aaron..." He really didn't have anything to do tonight, other than sulk like always...but..he wasn't sure if he wanted to 'go out' with Aaron again. With a shrug, not that the boy could see, he decided to agree, "I have no plans..."
|
Aaron smiled a bit not that Adelais could see, he was in a way happy that Adelais was free tonight. "Ok... Do you possibly wanna come to my place? I'll make dinner." He shrugged.
|
"I don't see why not..what time shall I plan to be there?" He had to admit he was a bit excited to be 'on a second date' with Aaron. While the man was fairly boring in most aspects of life, he had a very interesting job and he was rather handsome.
|
"About six?" Aaron was slightly giddy with excitement, but he didn't let it show in his voice. He sat up and quickly went to grab a few cook books he kept hidden. "Are you allergic to anything?" He smiled as he looked over the bindings.
|
"No I'm not..I do have to get going right now though..Gene is calling me..go figure. I'll see you tonight~" He ended the call and picked up the other call that was waiting. "What Gene?" "I know what you did last night~" Without a word, he flipped the phone shut, not wanting to talk to her right now. Especially about last night.
|
"Ok... Bye..." Aaron trailed off as the line went dead. He made sure the call was ended before he tossed the phone on the couch as he walked over to it. He sat down with a smile as he flipped open one of the cookbooks.
|
Adelais had not accomplished much during the day. He mostly went back and forth between the few vampire hang outs in town. He normally would not be caught dead in those buildings, but there were a few people he needed to speak to. He wanted to know more about Aaron's..organization..that he worked for. And who better to find that out than his favorite Mercenary? She was a hard woman to track, but he eventually found her at her favorite club, NeuroGenesix.
With a sigh, he entered through the main doors, a very interesting mix of music and lights overcame him. He searched around until he found the white haired woman in one of the many dark corners. He approached her, his blue eyes turning red to match hers, "We need to talk..business matters.." He sat down, shooing her human guests away. "Got a few minutes?" The white haired woman raised an eye brow as Adelais helped himself to a seat, "I don't think I have a choice, actually. What can I do for you my dear?" She leaned forward, resting her elbows on the table and lacing her fingers. Her bright red eyes watching him curiously, the hood of her cloak gently pulling itself onto her head, keeping back enough so her face wouldn't be covered..yet. Adelais lifted his index and middle fingers, as if he was holding a card between them, and seconds later, a photograph appeared in the once empty space. He laid the picture down on the table; it was of Aaron. "This man..works for a group of mercenaries, I am unsure if it is in the same business as yourself, but I know you can get me the information I desire. I want to know who he works for and what they..specialize in. Think you can do that for me, darling?" The woman took the picture off the table, examining it, "This man? He's so scrawny looking..." She folded the photograph and put it in the pocket of her cloak. "I do not recognize him..with him being human and me being in the..special division, we would not see each other. I will see what I can dig out.." She narrowed her blood red eyes at Adelais for a moment, "Now go away...I have..other things to attend to." |
Aaron was pulled out of his thoughts as a knock came at his door. "Early are you?" He smiled a bit as he laid the books down on the coffee table and went to the door. Before he opened it he straightened out his clothes, he smiled as he opened the door but quickly frowned. "Wh-..what are you doing here sir?" He stepped back a bit.
The tall brown haired man smirked and pushed his way into the apartment, "Tell me Aaron, how did you make his death look like a heart attack?" The man looked around the small apartment. He ran his index finger over a shelf and rubbed it with his thumb. "And why do you live in horrid conditions, when I pay you rather well?" The man turned around and looked at Aaron. His hazel eyes narrowed at the boy. "Well sir, there is a way to use electricity to overload the heart. I used that to kill him." Aaron closed the door. "I choose to live in 'horrid conditions' because I don't want people asking where I get my money." He watched the man carefully. "And if I may ask, why are you the one who came to ask me this?" He crossed his arms. "Well my dear boy, I just wished to see if you are alright. And don't worry, I had my associate taken care of." The man grinned evilly. "Now there is another matter I wish to discuss with you." He stepped forward until he was right in front of Aaron. He grabbed onto the arm that was shot. He dug his finger hard into the wound, "What do you know of the boy you were with last night?" His eyes seemed to turn red. |
Adelais nodded, "But of course my dear. I will pay you based on the information you give me, so you better do a wonderful job, as always," He stood, dusting himself off and smoothing his clothes, "If you fail me...well..you'll just have to wait and see what happens with that." Before the woman could answer, he vanished.
The white haired woman looked around for a moment with a sigh, "Then I better get started..." She had not liked the tone his voice took when he suggested her pay. With another sigh, she pulled the hood of her cloak down over her face and disappeared herself. She brought herself to Aaron's apartment, pressing herself against the wall and cloaking her presence telepathically as she sensed another presence in the room..a dangerous one. Her left hand strayed for her knife, gripping the handle firmly but leaving it in the sheath as she listened. Now what could that man possibly want with Adelais? And by the way the human is addressing him, I would assume that this is his boss. Perfect~ One step down. |
"I don't know much sir, he's just a friend." It pained Aaron's heart to say that, he wanted to be more then friends with Adelais but knew that wasn't possible. He tried to wiggle his arm free but the mans grip was to strong, almost superhuman.
"Your lying Aaron, your face twinged when you said that." The man gripped Aaron's arm harder. "Now tell me the truth and I might let you go." Aaron was taken aback slightly, "I don't know sir, I really don't." For the first time in his life Aaron was scared. The man smirked, "You really don't do you?" He chuckled evilly. "It's a shame really, you had so much potential." He shook his head as he put his free hand behind his back. When he brought it back in sight he had a knife. "Now I would say that this wont hurt a bit, but I would be lying. Just... like...you..." He trailed off as he jammed the knife into Aaron's ribcage. He let go and let Aaron fall to the ground, "If you survive, you are fired. And a hit will be taken out on you." The man brushed his hands together and walked to the door. He opened it and walked out, "Hello..." He looked to where the woman was standing. Before the woman could say anything he vanished. Aaron gasped as the knife was driven into his body, he fell to his knees as the man let him go. |
The woman raised a brow at the man, "Strange...anyway.." She rushed inside the apartment, going over to Aaron, who was on the floor. She knelt down beside him, "Well for a demon he has horrible aim...There's no reason he should've missed your heart.." She clicked her tongue in disappointment, pulling the knife out of Aaron's chest, and rather roughly at that, "Now, I would let you die, since you're going to end up getting killed anyway, but seeing at Ade is paying me quite well, I'll let him have his night." She placed her hand over the wound, healing Aaron's chest leaving no indication he was stabbed.
She stood, keeping her hood down on her face, "Before I go and toy around in your mind..I need to know everything you know about that man..and if you refuse to tell me, my good favor will disappear.." She pulled out a knife, spinning it expertly in her fingers. "Speak." |
Aaron kept his eyes on the floor as the woman spoke, he didn't know how to react about her saying that his boss... Well former boss was a demon. "I..I don't know much about him. All I know is that he has been behind a lot of high ups in companies deaths. Most of them I was the one to kill them." He glanced at the woman but quickly looked back at the floor. "And he goes to other states, not just Arizona." He grabbed his arm.
|
"Hmm.." She frowned a bit, throwing her knife in the air and catching it by the hilt a few times. "Got a name or anything I can go off of? What do people call him? He's got to have some sort of..alias.." She knelt back down lifting Aaron's head up and examining him, "Come on, you have to give me more to work with.."
|
"Norewood, is his last name. Sometimes he goes by... Um what is it?" Aaron closed his eyes to think for a moment. "Rubrum. Red in Latin." He opened his eyes and stared at the woman. "That is honestly all I know. He didn't tell me much about himself. But why would he? He is a master manipulator." He sighed a bit.
|
The woman winked, letting him go, "As am I my darling~" She stood, sheathing her knife and placing her hands on her hips, "Rubrum you say...the man never changes~" She chuckled a bit, then put her index finger to his forehead, "Unfortunately for you, I can't allow you to remember this. Have a nice nap." She knocked him unconscious then quickly manipulated his memories to him falling asleep while he read his cook books. She hauled him over to the couch, setting him up to make the memory more legit, then disappeared herself.
|
Aaron opened his eyes and looked around, he was mildly confused. Why would he fall asleep while he read. He noticed his door was open, he quickly stood up and closed the door quietly. He maneuvered over to his black duffel bag and grabbed out a knife. He checked the kitchen and then all over his apartment. He sighed in relief when he saw that no one was there and that nothing was missing. He couldn't shake off a feeling that he should call off his and Adelais' 'date'. With a sigh he tossed his knife onto his duffel bag and went to his phone. He quickly typed out a text to Adelais "I'm sorry, but I suddenly feel ill. So maybe in a few nights we can meet up? Again I'm sorry." He sent it and rubbed his temples.
|
Adelais raised a brow as he read the message, "Somehow I doubt that..but.." He texted Aaron back; 'Feel better. Let me know if I can get you anything.' With a sigh, he shoved his phone back into his pocket. Now what was he to do? He was rather excited for the dinner date. He would stop by unannounced, but that was incredibly rude. He hoped that Aaron wasn't trying to get rid of him. He frowned a bit at that thought, flopping down onto his couch.
|
Aaron sighed as he red the text from Adelais, he felt horrible to do that to him. But he felt something wasn't right, he tugged on his shirt and noticed a hole in it. He furrowed his brow at the sight of it, "That wasn't there before." He got up off of the couch and went to the bathroom. He lifted up his shirt and saw that there was blood on his side. "What the hell?" He ran his hand over the blood and didn't feel anything wrong. "Something is going on here..." He trailed off as he heard a car door slam loudly. He quickly moved to the window and peeked out as he kept his body hidden. "Damn it!" He hissed as he noticed it was his bosses men. He grabbed his phone as he quickly moved to get his bag. "You didn't tell anyone about me did you?" He texted Adelais as he grabbed his bag. He quickly went to his room to grab a few things.
|
'Of course not...what's wrong?' He quickly got from his couch and teleported himself to the basement. He grabbed a small pistol and a few knifes, strapping them to their appropriate places. He sighed, wondering vaguely if he should grab his shot gun. He shook his head, and disappeared, appearing in an ally way just off to the side of Aaron's apartment. Interesting... he watched the men as they made their way into the building. This definitely did not bode well.
|
Aaron quickly emptied his safe into the duffel bag, he grabbed his favorite pistol and katana. He unsheathed the katana and swung it to get the feel for it. It had been a long time since he last used it. He threw on a black trench coat and tossed in all of his full magazine cartridges also a few other things for later. As well as loaded one into the gun. He tossed the bag over his shoulder and slowly made it to the door. He quietly cocked the gun and listened for the peoples footsteps. He heard the men mumble something and he knew there was one right in front of the door. He stepped away from the door and shot a few times. He knew the bullets would go through the door, but would they hit the target? "Fuck!" He whispered when he heard bullet strings jingle. He quickly jumped out of the way and hid behind the couch, he knew they had machine guns. He covered his ears as the men opened fire on his door.
|
Adelais teleported himself to the hallway as soon as he heard gunfire. He grabbed one of the men by the shoulder spinning him around to get momentum, then threw him at the door, busting it off it's weakened hinges. "So you're the reason why my date was canceled. Now I'm mad." He eye glowed a bright red as he took his knife from it's sheath, throwing it at the man he just launched into the apartment. The gunfire had paused as the remaining men looked back to see what the hell was going on.
One of them pulled out a pistol, firing off two round into Adelais's chest. The vampire peered down, frowning, "This was my favorite jacket..You humans have no respect.." He sighed, not bothering with a knife or gun. He gathered up some power and sent a powerful telekinetic blast at the men, throwing them back into the wall. |
Aaron jumped up when he saw a few men fly into his apartment. Suddenly a man ran at Aaron with a small knife, he glanced around and saw Adelais. "Well not totally." He ducked as the man swung the knife at his neck. He landed backwards and was in a crab. "Your gonna have to do better then that." He couldn't hold out much longer because of his arm. He kipped up, just missing the man jabbing the knife downwards. In one fluid motion he swung his katana into the man's abdomen. As he pulled the blade across the man's abdomen he pointed the gun at the man's head. As he fully pulled the blade across the man's abdomen he pulled the trigger. The bullet went right into the man's temple, killing him instantly. He looked to the TV screen and saw the reflection of a man behind himself in the middle of throwing a knife. He turned around just as the man released the knife. He picked up the end table and put it in front of his face. He crossed his eyes as the knife penetrated the wood. He smirked and tossed the table at the man. He ran at the man after the table hit him, before the man would know Aaron jammed his katana into his abdomen. "You should know not to fuck with me." He brought the pistol to the man's forehead. And pulled the trigger at point blank range. Aaron smirked as blood splashed all over his body.
|
Adelais sighed as a few others stood back up. One of the men threw a knife, surprisingly with good aim with it lodging in his right eye. Adelais let out a deep, aggravated sigh. "And Genevieve wonders why I sit and sulk all day?" He shook his head, turning his back to them as he went over to Aaron. As soon as he went in the doorway, the remaining men suddenly fell as their hearts exploded in their chests. He gave Aaron a once over, "You alright?"
Seeing no new wounds on the man, he stepped back, pulling the knife from his eye, taking his eye patch off as it now served no purpose with a gaping hole in it. As he threw the knife into a corpse, the eye repaired itself, returning to it's traditional white-blue color while his other returned to it's traditional ice blue color. "Now, what, may I ask, is going on?" He dusted himself off, examining his ruined jacket with a deep sigh. |
"Ya I'm fine... And you..?" Aaron trailed off as he watched Adelais' eye heal. "Well, how come that doesn't surprise me?" He pointed the the now healed eye. "Anyway, I really don't know. All I know is that I fell asleep while reading..." He trailed off while he pointed to the cookbooks on the coffee table. "Then when I woke my bosses men were barreling down on my apartment. Speaking of..." He trailed off as he grabbed some C4 from his pockets. He went to a corner and stuck one of the C4 on the wall. He went to the closet and pulled out a hammer. He went around to the men and smashed their teeth in, as well as cut off their finger prints. He tossed a C4 on the stove, "We are going to want to go." He looked to Adelais with a small frown as he tossed another C4 down his hall.
