Chapter 216
Davyna's POV
The Next Day...
I wake up to my phone ringing. Still half asleep, I reach over and answer sister from her abusive father,
"Hello?" My voice cracks. Lovely. Alpha Kane
"Davyna? It's Kraven. I got your number from your Dad as I was unable to make it in person this morning" I clear my throat. "That's alright, Kraven. What do you need to tell me?"
"That's not really necessary Kraven, but I appreciate it.
Thank you"
"Not a problem, Davyna. Transport has been aranged for you today at
lpm, Marcella will meet you out front of the compound." Il yawn loudly.
"Sorry, Kraven. I'll be there. Thanks again."
"My pleasure, Davyna. Talk to you later." Click. I check the time on my phone and my eyes go wide. Only an hour until have to be out front.
"Shit I gotta get ready." I pretty much throw myself into the shower, wash quickly, rush out and throw on some fitted sweats, sneakers, and a tank top. I dry my hair and braid it so it's out of my face. I quickly make some scrambled eggs for breakfast, grab a snack bar for later, grab my keycard, phone and water bottle and get out the door carrying it all and my bag.
I pack all my items into my small bag while l'm in the elevator and
manage to zip it up just as the doors open to the main area. I head out into the main foyer I came through the first day I arrived and walk out the front doors as I put my jacket on.
It's cloudy today, but still bright. I shield my eyes and look for Marcella and I see her waving at me beside a silver car a small distance away from the front doors. I walk over and she comes up and grabs my bag for me.
"Ready?" I nod.
"Yup, let's go."
She climbs in on the right side and I get in on the left and we leave for the nightclub.
About 45 minutes later, we're in the city and reach the nightclub.
Marcella and I climb out of the car. The driver gets out and opens the trunk and takes out mine and Marcella's bags and hands them to us.
"I will return to pick you both up around 3AM after the club closes" Marcella waves him of.
"See you then Ruka." He nods and gets back in the car and honks once as he drives off.
"Let's go, I'm excited to show you around!" She pulls me inside.
"Welcome to Bloodhaven!" Marcella says as we walk in. I'm floored
again as I took around the space. It's all dark maroon and black fabrics lining the walls, with booths, tables and 2 huge bars on either side that have matching coloured accents on them. I see the sparkle of some golf
"It looks like you could host a whole production in here." Marcella
laughs at me slightly.
"Good observation! Most of the Hollow's events are hosted here." All the tables and booths are able to be moved. There's
a large dancefloor underneath for more official events like weddings and parties. There is a full stage up there that can accommodate a whole production if someone wished it. Nothing like that has been done yet though, Most are just into partying and dancing usually."
She leads me to a stairwell near the front stage.
"This way." I follow
behind her and I'm blown away again as we emerge upstairs. There's an entire rehearsal space. I see multiple dance rooms with mirrors,
soundproofed rooms, equipment storage rooms and a large elevator
which l assume is for transporting equipment from here to the massive stage downstairs.
"Wow. This is insane." Marcella walks past me into one of the dance
rooms.
"In here." I nod and follow her in as she shuts the door, mainly working on song choices currently for future performances.
There isn't any choreographed performances tonight thankfully. It's one of the easier nights." I sigh and reply
"That's good. Easier for me to get used to being in here."
As she starts to set up her items she brought to prepare for tonight,I think to myself that honestly. Marcella is really relatable. In the times I've seen her, I've forgotten she's a vampire. She's treated me with kindness since meeting me and I find it easy to talk to her. As much as I hate supernatural, I don't find myself hating her at all. It's a strange feeling, but maybe I shouldn't be so quick to judge. I still need to figure
out who killed my mom and why the council had failed so miserably in finding him, but I guess I can try to make myself as comfortable as I can. Wow, big mood change there Davyna. I shake my head. I look up and see that Marcella is almost ready. She calls me over.
"Okay so there are 5 main dancers who work here. Maria, Shadow, Maryjane, Alycia, and Kristyn. They are strictly dancers who either dance choreographed routines, or dance to the DJ's music on club nights in the crowd and on those smaller stages. They are not servers. Most mistake them for that among other things."
I shake my head,
"like strippers?" Marcella looks at me,
"You got it, I just keep an eye out and make sure they're not being harassed. You and and I will stick together for a little while until you get used to the space and then we may need to split up to make sure they're all good. There are bouncers who deal with the more physical stuff so we just have to report
it to them. No getting involved."
"Sure, I can understand being careful in places like this, even being a supernatural. Human nightclubs are the same really." Marcella nods at me in understanding.
"Most of the council members adult children come here, but they
usually keep to themselves mostly and usually aren't the problem."
Marcella grabs a pad of paper from her bag.
"Okay so I've got about 5 songs chosen for future performances. Maybe we can listen to them and brainstorm some ideas?"
I grab the list she's offering.
"Sure." I take a look and read down the list.
"Are you wanting these performances to be more sensual?." She nods.
"That's usually the main vibe., More like look and can't touch."
"Alright, let's listen." Marcella puts the first song on. I stand up.
"Am I okay to just to move around? That's how I work the best." She stands up with me.
"Yeah of course, I'm the same." I close my eyes and take in the
music and just let go. After a couple hours, we've listened through her 5 songs and have some good ideas put down to work off of later..
"That was pretty productive. I think this is going to be a good match you and me." I laugh while getting a sip of water.
"Yeah I'll think so too, It's almost 5, we should head down to help set up for the night. Most of the staff should be here by wear tonight?" Crap. Why didn't I think to bring anything? Oh right because l'm an angry shut-in. Stuff like that isn't priority.
"Uh. I don't actually, I didn't even think of it." She nods. "That's okay, we can call Kraven and he will get something sent over." I grab her arm,
"Nothing too revealing I hope, I'm pretty awkward." She laughs,
"Don't worry, I've got it covered." She grabs her phone from
her bag and puts it to her ear.
"Hi Kraven, Davyna doesn't have an outfit to wear for tonight at the nightclub. Can you grab a few items for her? I mind-link you what to grab." I hear muffled gibberish, and then Marcella's eyes glaze over ever so slightly, and just as quickly they return
to normal.
"Did she just..." I just stare.
"Oh right, sorry. I keep forgetting you're human. I just told Kraven what to grab via mind-link. Easier then trying to describe each piece of clothing I wanted him to get.
"So he just saw what you were picturing in your mind?" She nods, "Yup, but only because he allowed it. Mind-link only works if you allow the person to talk to you in that wave, Only exception is if you're sleeping or unconscious. Sometimes people can mind-link because the person receiving the message isn't as alert enough to block communication at that time."
She starts to pack up her bag,
"We're gonna be behind setting up. We need to get downstairs." I follow suit and pack my stuff up as well.
"Alright." We get back downstairs and Marcella introduces me to all the staff while we help setting up, and finally 5 girls walk in the door.
"Those must be the dancers." I say to myself. They're all decked out in some pretty tight dolled and Marcella drabs my hand and brings me over. He clothes and dolled up, girls, this is Davyna, she's going to be helping out around here.!"
I'm met with smiles all around.
"You finally got help? That's great Marcella. God knows you needed it." Each of the girls shake my hand and then head upstairs to l assume finish getting ready for the evening. Its a couple hours later and Marcella looks at me.
"Looks like we're pretty much done." I see her glance at the front door and there is Ruka with a bag. She skips over to him and grabs the bag and places a kiss on his lips gently, and then comes back to me.
"Are you and Ruka a thing?" l ask.
"Sorry if l'm overstepping. I just don't know much." Marcella holds her hand up.
"No need to apologize. Ruka is actually my beloved mate"
"Beloved mate?" She nods and smiles.
"Each supernatural is given one mate in their lifetime, a person who you have an instant connection with, who you love almost instantly and usually spend your entire life with. It's quite rare for mates to not accept each other. Vampires like myself have beloved mates and werewolves usually just call them mates
but anything is really acceptable term wise, and Ruka is mine." She
smiles and then tosses the bag she's holding at me and I almost drop it.
"Let's go get you ready. Should be a fun night if all goes wellL"
"If you say so." I reply and follow her upstairs to get ready.
