Eye witness
Yolie:
The rain stops and little by little the sun comes out. In minutes the other bathers return, people entertain themselves by straightening their loungers and lifting their fallen umbrellas. Everything returns to normal and it quickly seems that nothing has happened here.
Alex looks at me nervously.
—You're too quiet, little witch. Is there something wrong?
I turn my face to look at him, squinting my eyes and blinking a few times.
—Alex, you won't believe me. Maybe this kinky beach fuck has melted my brain or I'm just paranoid, but I think someone is watching us.
Alex stiffens instantly. He turns his head sharply to the right and snorts. He takes my cell phone from where I left it and dials swiftly. Since he is with me there is only one person he could be calling.
—Patrick- he roars, moving his eyes convulsively from right to left. - Come to Athens immediately. Jeanne has found us.
Jeanne:
Much of our coven members get scandalized every time our Mega takes a human lover and I am not surprised. Of the female members of the counsil, Mechu and I are the only ones who never had a more ... intimate relationship with him, it's natural that the other women feel a bit ... snubbed when he prefers to entertain himself with mortals instead of reviving contact with any of them.
I fully understand our Mégas’ motives in that regard. Preferring one of those harpies would only arise jealousy in the others and humans are preferable as lovers to an immortal, they have an expiration date, of course.
The worrying thing about this new relationship is that the girl is not exactly human and also our King seems to have no control over her. On the contrary, she dominates him. I have seen it. Just a few minutes ago they starred in the most scandalous and disgusting show I have seen in my more than six hundred years.
I knew that woman would be dangerous. She is a witch, after all. My big mistake was believing that hitting her with a mere car would get her out of the way. I should have ripped her head off!
It's true that we are prohibited from killing humans for sport, for revenge or for any reason that our Mégas doesn't believe justified, but on this occasion I consider that the survival of our species would justify any barbaric act I could commit. If the witch achieves what our King intends, we will be in danger, all of us.
The stupid and mindless Marié wasn't able to understand my very logical reasoning a few days ago when I visited her at Royalé's headquarters in Paris. She is the weakest on the council, which is why I chose her. It was enough to threaten with kidnaping that impertinent brat of hers for her to reveal where Alex was hiding.
She blatantly lied to me in the end. She said that our Mégas was in Cuba in charge of protecting the witch I had tried to assassinate. If Marié believed I wouldn’t quickly discover her deception, she is dumber than I thought. Alexandros is not the only one with faithful vassals. I also have servants, those to whom I have granted immortality during all these centuries. One of them, who happened to be on a partying streak in the Caribbean, stopped by Havana city at my request and informed me that the witch had been reported missing for at least two months.
Hmm. Of course Alexandros would bring her to Greece. He loves his country as much as I love mine.
I can't get close and attack now. They are surrounded by too many humans and revealing what we are to them is unthinkable.
I will have to wait until the witch is alone or accompanied by one of our kind who is weak.
Damn!
Yolie:
Alex called Vlad and Giuseppe and the three of them escorted me back to the car. From their funereal expressions and the heavy silence that accompanied the trip by car, I suspect that who was watching us is who tried to assassinate me and who also caused my grandmother’s death.
Did Alex call that person Jean … Jeanna?
Security of the mansion has been reinforced, a hundred guys wearing black suits and dark glasses appeared from I don't know where. I swallow hard. Something broke inside me, since I unleashed that storm it's as if an electric current ran through my skin. My senses are sharper, my intuition seems to have increased tenfold, that's why I knew someone was watching us on the beach and that's why I know that these guys in suits are all vampires.
He walked me to my room as soon as we arrived. He ordered a fortified dinner to be brought to me, calling the kitchen he asked for a half-cooked steak, and I changed his order for a well-done one. The last thing I want right now is to eat something that has blood in it.
I huff in exasperation. I've taken a bath and removed my contact lenses. I'm sitting on the bed pondering this afternoon's events. I just can’t believe it, god! We had a killer fuck on the beach!
I have to learn to control myself, I won't achieve a thing by suffering jealousy attacksevery second, Alex will always be as he is, beautiful, attractive, fascinating and immortal ... I will continue to be me for about sixty more years, if I'm lucky. Then there will be nothing left of me.
The most dangerous thing about all of this is that I'm convinced that Alex not only fucked me to calm my jealousy but also to get me out of the mental trance I was in. It was the strangest feeling, at that moment I was me, but at the same time I wasn't and I had no way of controlling what was happening.
I'm scared shitless.
