Dangerous

Being bombarded by the others to tell her life story, she ended up giving it. But as she was I switched spots with another girl. It's getting late, I'm just going to go home.

Mainly because I forgot why I even came out here?

Especially after what happened this morning.

I need to make things up with Charlie.

But as I was getting up, I saw that Megan wasn't over there, but on the end ignoring them. And sitting back down I'm curious on why? "You're not interested?"

And looking at me, "Why should I be listening to them when every word she's spouting about that man is-" she suddenly stopped talking, lowering her head and sighing.

Looking back up, "I've been around for a long while and I know who she's talking about, but that's not his story and he's not a whore, maybe he used to be, but that wasn't a choice of his, he was forced into it, I think, he never had told me precisely, because that man was always there?"

What man? Is she talking about him or someone else?

Wait, actually... What the heck! She knows him too! ! !

Telling me this, dumbfounded me? Wait, he's real?! Also how old is she? From what I heard, he was alive for.. Oh yeah, I keep forgetting we live long lives, but still, for a...

Never mind, "Why are you telling me this?" I asked her.

Because like seriously, why is everything about tonight going back to some random person's old life lore, junk?

And glancing away, "Because Maya looks nothing like him, and I have something important to tell you as well," she said, getting me to gulp as her eyes sharpened. . .

Wait, what? I thought we weren't doing this stuff again?

"What's the warning?" I asked.

"This isn't a warning. More of a must," straightening up towards me, she said, "That man isn't someone to just casually speak of, he's dangerous, there's a reason our kind isn't around anymore in this realm, it's because he killed them, I don't know how but he's immortal and for the few that he allowed to live, including me, who was once his enemy at one point in my life, he's not some whore, I thought it at one point but it was a ruse he'd spread around when he was younger to fool even the smartest of us, and that's how the rumor got here, we spread it, to hide and gather a neutral grace from him"

"Actually speaking of Grace, she's the whole reason..."

Widening my eyes, "He killed them, how many were we?" I asked, "We had hundreds of thousands," she said truly scaring me, "And he killed them all... So do not fuck with him if you ever meet him, got it," she said, but who is he?

This was a mystery that I just couldn't wrap my head around, because they keep talking about him, yet I've never heard his name come from any of their mouths.

"Who is he?" I asked so I could avoid him, plus I had one more question in mind? "Also, then what about this new story? So he survived and became some sort of hero??"

It's not making sense, I'm trying to put the "lore" together but I'm hearing two different stories, and again, how is this relating to the heavens crying, I really don't get it?

Putting her hands together, "Uh... I. . .I. . . ." she began to struggle with remembering, and grabbing the side of her head, she squinted, "I... Think, I think he compelled me?"

Compelled? Like what spiders do to attract their prey???

"He compelled you?" I asked and she tapped the side of her head, "Yeah, the skill vampires have to control folk, he must have the same skill, and used it on me as well?"

Wait we can do the same things as spiders? What the?!

Hearing this for the first time, "We can do that?" and she stopped tapping, her face dropped, and she looked at me with a blank face, "What the fuck..." Eeh, what?

Did I say something wrong, I'm just asking a question?

"What?" I'm confused. And then she opened her mouth.

"I'm trying to have a serious conversation with you and you're acting like you don't know what I'm talking about!! So do you take me for a fucking idiot! We're the same!"

In my defense, I don't know what she talking about...

"I know we're the same, I just... Don't know what you mean? How would I know that we can do that! I've never had anybody to teach me about us, so sorry if I don't..."

Slapping her face and loudly groaning, "Look, I'm done with you, just if you feel anyone with an overly strong, no, someone with a god-like negative aura, run away fastly"

Nodding, she just shook her head, slamming her head onto the table, but then picked it back up and looked over to the bar side a few yards away from us, "Hey, Lesley! Gimme a bottle of Arak, quickly!" she called out... But I still have a few questions for her, especially about the skill she was talking about, could it be, that luck I have?

"Wait, before you start drinking, I have a question?" but looking at me tiredly, "No, just go home, if you don't even know about our kind's most basic skills then what's the point of talking to you now? Just go home and I'll come find you tomorrow for the job with Nala, alright Cathy"

Lowering my head, "Um okay, I guess I'll just go then" I said back, getting up, and looking over to the exit, I just walked away, but then she grabbed my arm. "Hm?"

Looking over, "I'm sorry, I didn't mean to take it out on ya, it's been a long day and I get where you come from, you ran away at a young age so it might be difficult to understand what I'm talking about, so I'll teach you later"

She said and I just yawned, "You're fine, I was planning on going home anyways. Also, I'd like that, and thanks" I said back and she smiled, "See you Cathy, good night"

"Night," I said saying to her before leaving, and going outside, I felt a cool breeze hit me, but with it was this strange scent, it put me on alert because it's... alluring?

Not even realizing it, I found myself walking into an ally.

Many Minutes After

Meanwhile back in the cafe, finally getting some Arak, Magan took a sip before she smelled something odd?

And widening her eyes, "A blood lure.." Shooting up, she yelled, "CATHY!!!" startling the others and the people in the room, and turning to them and yelling over to 'em.

"We need to go! Get your assess up, Catherine's in danger!" Megan suddenly rushed for the door leaving the others surprised but rushing to get up as well.

Turning completely serious, a silver light radiated from Megan's eyes and breaking out the door, she stopped and smelling the air, she felt a sudden desire to follow that same smell, but now that she's outside, it's stronger...

"Damn it! How the hell do those things still exist!?"

The others got to the door behind her, and in a pant of breathe, "Megan, what happened?!" Elena asked, as she was startled by all this, and now thinking that Wolf man came back for Catherine, but Magan didn't say a word.

And grabbing her and shaking her. As her hand were over Megan, they snapped her out of her deep though, and she turned to the others, Elena, Becky, Beth, Maya, Patrisha and Blossom, and just said, "No time, follow me, and keep up," and she ran fast, but enough for them to keep up with her because she needed the strength.

By herself, she didn't know if she could take the hunter.

And she was sure the lure was made by a strong one too.
