Chapter 5

ADONIS

I never expected such a thing to happen, not after these people have been silent for such a long time. I was expecting them to have been gone forever.

Vampire hunters!

The last time I've had contact with one was about twenty years ago and even though I managed to kill him that night, it never occurred to me that they'll be back or maybe they're more than one in this side of the world.

After I left Bella's place around that one in the morning, I was on my way back to my apartment when I felt something following me, tracing my path.

I didn't need to be told, I knew who he was.

Trying to divert his attention, I took a different lane that was different from my path home as I was trying to figure something out. He didn't notice that the road I was taking was different and this meant just one thing; he hadn't figured out my house yet.

But the bigger problem is, it is possible in every way that Bella is in danger. If they could trace me from her house, then it is very possible that they know about her.

The next thing to do was bait the hunter who was following me. I began walking faster, at a pace that was inhumane and before he could catch up with me at a dark corner, I was no more in sight.

Only for me to appear behind him. He was agitated, looking around curiously and cursed when he realized that I was gone.

I touched his shoulder and he jumped a little as he turned.

"Who are you? Why are you following me?" I hissed.

"I know what you are, monster" he spat

"Good! That way, you wouldn't be surprised when I show you what I can do"

I opened my mouth sharply to reveal my fangs as my fingernails were longer than normal. I grabbed both of his shoulders with my hand, dug my fingers into them as his face became sour with pain. I successfully dislocated his shoulder.

"Even if you kill me, others are coming" he threatened.

"They will come to pick up your dead body"

I slashed his throat with the pocket knife that was with me and smirked as his body dropped to the floor.

I could have fed on his blood but I vowed to never taste a Hunter's blood no matter how needy and hungry I get. I'll prefer to go weak and rabid rather than feed on a Hunter's blood.

The bag that he had carried with him was on the floor, so I picked it up to check the one thing that I needed.

An iron stake.

I knew he was going to have something like this with him.

I brought it out of the bag and walked towards the hunter on the floor. He was still breathing, holding his slashed neck with his arm as he raised the other one towards me, trying to stop me from doing what I was about to do.

"When your fellow hunters see this, they'll know I'm not a force to reckon with. I'm Adonis, a fucking vampire who has lived for hundred of years. Do you think I lived that long just to get killed by a loser like you?"

The first thing I did was to hit him on the head with the iron stake, making him lose consciousness completely.

The last thing I did was dug the iron stake into his heart the same way he would have done to me if he had the chance.

There's nothing called mercy when I'm involved.

I rushed back to my home to make a phone call so as to work things out. The vampire hunter isn't working alone and soon enough, his fellow hunters will come out in numbers.

Picking up my phone, I dialed a number.

"Hermano"

"I told you I don't understand any of that silly language of yours, αδελφός"

(T:Hermano- Brother, αδελφός(Brother)

I smirked at his own translation of the word, brother in Greek. He has always had something against Spanish language, complaining it was too difficult to understand even though he understood a few.

"How have you been, Andro?"

Andro is one of the five male vampires left and he's one of the three that I know. We don't have a clue if there's any female vampire left but there was a rumor that one was in this particular town that I am and this was one of the reasons why I relocated here.

Unfortunately, I haven't gotten a hold of one ever since I moved here.

"I've been good, how about you? Still going after those κορίτσια και η γλυκύτητά τους?" I laughed out.

Being friends with Andro for a long time has made me understand some of his language, especially those curses he spew when he's angry or those words he says whenever he's trying to be silly.

"Well, I've been a good boy," I replied.

"Good! Tell me Adonis, what's the situation? You never call for no particular reason" he asked, reading me like an open book.

"Vampire hunters"

"Where, when and how many are they?" He asked angrily.

Andro has had his own fair share of what Vampire hunters are capable of and anytime he hears anything about them, he gets really angry.

"Calm down Andro. I saw only one but I took care of him already and I know the others would soon start showing up as well. I'm just worried about someone in particular and I need your help with relocating"

"Who's this special someone?"

"Is that the only thing you heard in all I had said?" I asked, teasing him.

"Of course. So, tell me about this special sister or brother"

"I didn't say anything special. I only said someone"

"When was the last time you said anything about anybody?" He asked and I couldn't find an answer.

"Fine! She's special"

"I said it!"

Andro is a mischievous person and he's been that way since forever.

"Wait! Did you find the female vampire? Is she the special person?" He asked excitedly.

"No, this one is human"

"You're kidding, right?"

I breathed deeply before replying. "I'm dead serious. I have this deep connection to her and she affects me in such a way that makes me feel powerful, different and …." He interrupted before I could finish talking.

"She's your Emerthus" he concluded.

"I think so"

Emerthus means soulmate in the Vampire world. Your Emerthus is someone who calls to your soul and having a human soulmate isn't a rare thing. It is usually common

He was silent for a while before replying.

"I don't know how you're going to do it but let me wish you good luck"

"I know it wouldn't be easy. Fuck! So far, it hasn't been easy"

"Just go easy on her, Adonis. Always remember that she's human"

"Thank you Andro. Like I said, I want to relocate but that'll be after I've made her mine successfully"

"Just call me anytime you're ready, I'll take care of everything including the paperwork"

"Thank you Andro. Make it for two people by the way"

He laughed. "You're so pussy whipped. Best of luck winning her over and if you fail with your lousy attitude, my shoulder will be here to cry on".

"That's if I don't break it"

"I'll think you said that," He replied.
