Chapter 8 Dominic’s Dream

CHAPTER 8

 

            Dominic is in his kitchen, going through another bag of blood. He doesn’t normally need that much blood, and he is now on his 8th bag. He must contact his personal assistant / familiar to see if he can help locate some more. He maybe has 2 bags left, and that should have lasted him all month easy. “Dang, this is getting stranger. I feel hung over, and that hasn’t happened since I was human.” He grabbed his phone and contacted Alex the assistant. He made Alex his familiar many years back. They had been good friends, and he almost died, so Dominic offered to make him his familiar, which was Alex’s choice. He has been with him ever since. Alex was a good man and did so much for the company as well. He would get him some blood, no problem.

            After his call was made to Alex, he went and settled down in his lounge chair out on his patio. It was an overcast day and cool out. He felt like the fresh air just seemed to help him relax and cool down. Again, he has never had sweating like this ever, and the dream was so powerful. Then he finds himself thinking of Amber and wondering if she felt as good in his arms as she did in his dreams. He could smell her fresh, sweet floral sent and wanted to bury his fangs deep in her soft flesh. He wanted to bite her all over. He wanted to get lost in her and with her. He hadn’t felt this way for anyone since his first love. He hadn’t wanted to be close to anyone since her loss and their unfortunate time with the King. Amber would not leave his mind, and he felt so drained. He was lost in thoughts about the dream or dreams and didn’t hear Alex come in.

            “Hello Dominic, you look like shit! What happened to you?”

            “Oh, Alex, I don’t know what to say. This is not anything I have run into before.”

            Alex hands Dominic a fresh glass of blood and chuckles, “Well, whatever it is, you look more human today than I have ever seen you. I have plenty to get you through another month and then some. Is there anything I can do to help?”

            “Yes, I need you to do some investigation for me about the “Old Town Neighborhood”, Backstone Town. I need to get some information on the rouge vampires that have settled there and are taking over the surrounding areas.”

            “Wow, what has you getting involved? You don’t do that!”

            “Alex don’t start with me. I know I didn’t care, but something has come up, and I feel I need to be involved.”

            “Well, great, this sounds like fun, and maybe we can get our hands dirty for a change. Gosh, the last few hundred with you have been so boring. I will enjoy kicking some ass again.”

            “Alex, you never told me this before! Why, didn’t you tell me you felt this way?”

            “I felt it wasn’t my place, and you were to set in your ways. Whatever is going on with you now, I think may be a good thing, my friend.”

            “Well, I don’t know, but I think it has something to do with that teacher too.”

            “The Hot, Red, Head with the Green Eyes?”

            “Alex!” Dominic stares at Alex for a moment. He, for some reason didn’t like that coming from Alex one bit. Slowly, he finishes with, “Yes, her name is Amber Parks.”

            “Oh good, she would be a fun addition. I liked her. She is something of a conidium, though. I could put my finger on it, but there is something different about her.”

            “She is a half-blood, hybrid vampire. I didn’t know until last night.”

            “Wow, that is a thing? I didn’t know that existed, Dom. I mean all these years, and that must be the first, right?”

            “Well, me too, I admit, I have never ever heard of that either. Could you check with the Royal Pure-Blooded Families and investigate further. I know you have a close friend who works with them, and I would prefer to be discreet as possible. I would like not to draw too much attention to this or her.”

            “Sure, give me this afternoon, and I will return tonight with some feedback. You rest up. I feel you have an adventure awaiting you.” Alex nods and starts walking off to leave. He looks back. “Hey, see if she has a sister!” Then the elevator doors close to the suite.

            “Damn you, Alex!” All you heard is a loud chuckle when the doors closed, and the elevator descended. Alex had an amazing hearing being a familiar.
