Chapter 67
TVS 38: Threats
Melissa Damienne's POV
"Madame, Brent has arrived." My secretary notified me of Brent's arrival. He was with Zagan. Everytime that I am assigning some tasks to Brent, he never disappoints me.
"So you've brought this vampire. Tie him up." He bowed and then obeyed my order.
"What are you up to with him?" Secretary asked. I seated on my swivel chair inside my office.
"Actually, I'm telling him the truth."
"What ?! But why Madame? What if she doesn't believe?" I stared at my secretary in front of me.
"Listen ... I'll try to make Zagan join our side. So that I don't have to send you to that place to watch Fire." She sighed, that's what I did ..
That's my last resort, and for me to also know what steps Dmitri would take, if he did talk to Fire. I hope not.
***
"Are you already awake?" I glanced at Zagan. I told Brent to bring him here, at the last floor of my mansion which is an empty space.
This is my own kind of dungeon. At the top of its floor is where I keep Stellara. I slowly walked towards Zagan. I raised his chin up and make him stare at my eyes.
"You ?! K-You're G-Gydeon's accomplice? Why ?!" I threw him death glares.
"And you! You killed Amelia!" I hissed at him. How did I find out? It's because of Xavierre. He said that Zagan attacked Fire, and in order for it to enter his house, he killed my friend.
"I want you to listen to me carefully. But before that, three days after, communicate with Dmitri, think of an alibi for where you went. The matters that I'm going to tell you are very important."
"Important? How?"
"I want you to know the truth. About Fire and her family."
***
"So Mr. Zagan, are you going to cooperate with me? Or not?" I asked him after telling everything that happened then.
"It's too late. Fire will never listen to me." He said in a low sad tone.
"I don't need you to tell her the truth, because even I can't do that. I want you to protect her and prevent her from doing things that are harmful to Xavierre and the community ...." Zagan is just silent . I don't know what's going into his mind, but I'm certain that he's in our side now.
"Anyway, bring this to Fire. He shouldn't know that you brought that. Or else there's really nothing left. Find the right timing to give it to him." I saw his brows furrowed. He's curious but matured enough to not to meddle with other's business.
All I need is for him to let Fire know just a piece of information that might change her mind in killing Xavierre. But if even that still doesn t work, I have to take her with me and tell the truth sooner, even without proofs.
F I R E
It's early in the morning and I'm starting to practice my song for Xavierre. I don t know if my voice is good, but at least I m serious at giving him my precious gift as a friend for the last time.
Speaking of Xavierre he s still not coming back. I don't know his whereabouts, geez. Am I worried?
*knock*knock*
I opened the door to see that Nay Maria is standing there. He was holding a box and smiling before I let him into the house.
"I guess it's you. I saw it in front of the door of your house, so I'd better knock on your door." She said as she handed me the box.
"I'll open it later." I smiled promise. I feel something strange about the box, but I just ignored it and cooked for Nay Maria first.
***
"Fire, you didn't say that you have such a wonderful voice. I mean, just now I heard you!"
I'm almost done practicing and I can say that my voice is not bad haha. Here is Elenor, she visited me and she heard me singing as she entered my house.
"What's that for?" She suddenly asked. Shall I answer? Alright.
"It's my gift for Xavierre's birthday." Her lips formed into o.
"Admit it, is there something going on between you two?"
"W-No n-no!" I denied, seriously! This is a correct suspicion! I was a bit sweaty sticky because of his sudden question. Add the critical eye.
"Anyway, I haven't seen him in a while? Where did he go?"
"I don't know either, it's up to him."
"By the way, Frost is acting weird. You know, when Alvie is there. What happened to those two?" Alvie? Frost? Could that have something to do with Alvie asking about Frost?
"I don't know either so don't ask me okay?" I rolled my eyes, ready to ask Elenor.
"Ugh. Oh hey, I have to go, good luck with your gift hahaha. You still deny everything, you're obvious!" As fast as he moved, I couldn't even pull his hair. That woman really is!
*knock*knock*
Who is this again ?! I opened the door and I saw Zagan standing there. Wow, it knows how to knock. Just on vacation, learned!
"May I?" I just nodded, because if I didn't let him, he would still come into my house. Remember the time when he killed Amelia and forcefully entered my house? Aba! Now lets go!
I'd better put the box that Nay Maria handed me earlier while Zagan was down here. Where did I put that?
Ahh! I went upstairs earlier! So I rushed upstairs and quickly picked up the box. Then I go straight to the living room, I'm going to open it there.
Oh? Where is Zagan now? The weird. He is gone. Anyways, I feel weird in this box. I started to tear the tape wrapped in the box.
W-What the heck i-is this ?!
My hands trembled as I saw what's inside the box. It's my picture with Xavierre, on my birthday. It has blood scattered all over it. Where did this came from?
Zagan Lowen's POV
After I found out about his personality I breathed a sigh of relief because I hadn t eaten him before.
If I tell the master about her, Madame Melissa is right. He might be used to kill Xavierre.
I will admit, before ... I want the Vladymirs to disappear. Although I found out that they were not the cause of the master's anger, I don't know but I was stuck in my situation.
I stepped inside Fire's house, but I didn't leave immediately, but then, he ran uphill. I immediately put the envelope under her flower vase on top of her coffee table and then left. I stayed outside her door, I hope she wouldn't notice that I'm still here. I'll wait to see if he notices the envelope. She's holding a box, a strange box.
When she opened it, her eyes were swallowed by fear. Hands are shaking when he touches the object inside the box. And then I saw it too with my own eyes.
A threat. Someone's sending Fire threats. I need to warn Xavierre now.
X A V I E R R E
"What the hell are you doing here, Zagan?" I saw him, comfortably sitting in my couch. Bothered where I am?
I'm here at Moscow, Russia. Monitors the actions of the Crinamorte.
"Someone's sending Fire threats. And you're here on vacation?" He's smirking, irritating. It makes me want to choke him to death, that's why ... He probably knows about Fire. He wouldn't be here otherwise.
"That is why I'm here idiot. I don't know for how long have I been here. And I missing her a lot." I sighed. I have to go here, to protect her. I thought their clan was gone, but then they started to meddle with us again. So I don't have a damn choice but to eliminate them once more.
"Do your companions know?" I smiled at him, showing that I'm proud of having those vampires in my side.
"Of course they do, tss. But I want them to act like they know nothing. Fire bugged my house so limited their movement there." Fire is pretty clever, it took me a week to find out that the figurine that she gave has bugging device. So most probably, he found out the rest of our plans. Lots of scattered wire tapping gadgets in my house.
"That woman really is, and you weren't surprised?" I arched a brow, waiting for him to proceed on what he's going to say.
"Surprised about what?"
"He planned to kill you Xavierre, Master talked to him." From sitting in the couch, Zagan walked to the veranda of this house that I rented. We can see the fort of the Crinamorte here, no one suspected this place because it is really hidden. I chose this because none of them do it. What a perfect spot isn't it?
"I know, I'll just let her do that. If that's what she wants, then it's fine." I heard him sigh deeply.
"Vishnyr? Does he know already?" Even that talkative person knows that. Tss, that Melissa Damienne.
"Yes, he's known for a long time, and he's just pretending." He just nodded, well and he didn't know how to interfere.
"So you're on our side now?" I asked him, wearing my mocking face.
"Can't believe it's true. By the way, Madame Melissa ordered me, she said I should bring Fire the page of the book she tore."
"Book about what?"
"About darkness' queens." What ?! There is a book about that ?!
"Yes, there is such a book. I want to oppose her, but yeah. I think Fire might have changed her mind and chose to be with you instead."
"Fvck! What the! You didn't know what you have done!?!" I grabbed his collar, I am pissed right now!
"What if not!?! Do you think she'll accept me ?! I'm a vampire, and she ?! She kills people like me ... Like us, and you think she'll buy that ?! Huh "Am I dreaming ?!"
"Xav! Stop that!" Vishnyr interfered, followed by Tanj, Drac, Zephyr and Diana.
"Aren't you going to kill him Kuya?" Diana said, this one is still good.
I let go of Zagan and motioned for him to leave. I faced them after the other left.
"Update." I seated in the couch, they in turn stood in front of me. Vishnyr talked first.
"Fire, looks suspicious already. You need to go back to her."
"Le Rouge, as usual they're planning on ruining the party, that's where they're good. They added an army, they can outnumber us." This time it's Tanj.
"You four, on the day of the party. Before it starts, I want you all to kill those vampires. Think of a plan on how to gather them in one place, then attack with the others."
"Drac, ask for help with Ms. Melissa. He'll send the bwiset Brent to fight with you. And May too, tell him to send those two."
"Zagan's the one in charge with Dmitri. After all they haven't talked to anyone, other than Fire." The slayer's are safe in Dad's hand. Dad is the head master of the Hunters Association. He will take care of all the slayers so that what happened before will not happen again.
"Diana, I want you to take care of the humans near the area. I want them out of our range so that they won't be affected again. You can do it with May."
"How's Fire?" Vishnyr flashed a worried face.
"You'll help me with her." When this event is over and all obstacles are gone, I'll deal with the Crinamortes.
