I didn’t think the movie and all the visual effects of it would hypnotize him, but it did. He glued his eyes to the screen, and his hand flew to the popcorn bowl in automatic mode. He resembled a kid fascinated by the big screen. It was endearing to see his reaction to something we took for granted every day in our lives.
Everything was happening too fast, and I
“I wish I had done that for real. The bastard deserved not only that but also ended up with his ass on a stake!” His voice boomed in the room menacing, then he saw me getting up. “Sorry about that, Liz! Are you hurt?” Before I answered, he scooped me up, taking us back to the couch.“I’m fine.” I was laughing out loud. My
I’ve been awake for some time already, thinking about my life and everything that had happened until this point, and I didn’t like to dwell too much on it. If someone told me about it, I would hardly believe it and think the person a nutcase. Even if I didn’t believe myself, I could say that Alexandra was dealing quite fine with all this absurd situation surrounding us for the last six centuries. I had to give her some credit, since we met again, she did nothing but to put up with my short temper and tyranny over her.
It’s been more than a week now, and thankfully we got two sunny days. Although the cold was bitter, it helped the snow melt, at least to a point where we could leave by any day. Gradually, I was getting acquainted with this century, and believe me, I liked it more than I should, because of all the possibilities it held.We spent the day training, and Liz in
AntonI got a call from a new buyer. He wanted me to give a look in a new dagger he just acquired. He had never put his eyes on such beauty, and it seemed oddly old. Everything different interested me a lot, not to say otherwise. Discretion with new clients is my protocol. The first meeting is always in an undisclosed location, and in an open space.
“Vlad, he’s terribly hurt, I can feel it. Why isn’t he answering me?” She hugged her middle and sweat poured over her face, tears streaming down.“I’m linked with him, he’s fine. He will give us news later and by morning he’ll be here.” I assured her, but she didn’t listen to me.
Fear ate at me, and after last night’s incident, for the first time dread is lashing at me like punishing whips. I knew the promises I’ve made, but I didn’t know if I’d be able to keep them. Probably not, but what choice do I have? Putting them in danger was overrated, and it’s not fair to them. I don’t know why the agency betrayed me, but I needed to discover what was going on, I needed a plan and fast.
“Alex, what have you been hiding from me? Please, think right, because I want a straight answer.” He called me Alex, I tensed against Vlad. I was still conveniently sitting on his lap, and whatever I was chewing got stuck in my throat, and I had to gulp on my coffee to help it down as I raised my eyes to his Stoic face.“What do you mean?” I tri
I had been watching her sleep for some time already. How could they be so different, and yet the same? She had that protective streak in her the same as before, the loving nature that made her so special, but messed by her experience in this life. So much is that she feels guilty when she does something improper. Something against her values.Unfortunately, her torture
