Knight To Dracula

Spain 1994

'Son, why don't we have some rabo-de-toro soup' he said grinning, they have just walked some few distances away from the spa room, they were chatting and walking slowly, he had been staring at those who was hanging at every corner of the building in the street, he smirked at them, they had been hunting in the street, for innocent prey, piercing their neck smoochy and sucking their esophagus.

'Dad, I thought you said you don't like it,' He stared at him curiously.

'Yea, just feel like taking some in my gullet tonight,' he held his hand and lead the way in, 'shall we'?

They enter into a restaurant, occupied with four chairs on each table, the aroma of the soup filled the air as an old lady approached them with two bowls of soup in a tray. 'Do enjoy your meal,' she smiled at the boy, 'Alright' The restaurant is so scanty, just two of them and a lady sitting beside the window. Occasionally, she would take a few glimpses of father and son enjoying the hotness of the soup. 'Isn't it amazing,' The boy exhaled.

'Of course, it is,' he battled with the beef. He gulped down a shot of Anis gin, brought out a necklace and hand it over to his son. 'What for,' asked his son surprisingly, 'I couldn't afford to get you a gift for your tenth birthday, why don't....'

The boy cut 'No dad, didn't you get mom this as a Christmas gift',

'No, it's for you, you might need it in the future,' he said smiling

'The truth lies in this locket' he whispered

'That's more of a fantasy, dad', He smirked and gulp his bowl of soup.

'Is it, yea, for now, I will have this given to tiana instead' he nodded softly

'Alright I will have it,' he stretch his hand to him reluctantly 'We have got to go now, boy' They saunter through the direction to their house, the cool breeze whooshed, the bird keep their voice low as they walk slowly on the stairs.

He pat his shoulder continuously

'You know, sometimes son, as a man, you have to stand any circumstances that comes your way. When you can't handle it, you take a race, if there isn't room for the race, then let it have you' he said beaming.

'Why should I let it have me?'

'So you won't ruin in lost'

'Yea, I understand' he nodded continuously.

'No, you don't'

'but you will later'

There was a car hooting, which blink its flashed light from afar. He could recognize it vividly. He bent to his boy's height.

'Izan, you have to go in now'

'Aren't we together', he asked curiously.

'I have to get your mom something'

'Then let go together, dad'

'No, it is late, I have got to go alone, take this'

He crumpled a note in his hand.

'Give this to your mom, she might need it now'.

'I will', he grumbled as he walked in His eyes saw his boy off in, and sighed.

Whilst, he made the last review of his building. He took the path through the street, he walks faster down the alley, as his legs which slap the cold floor continuously. Suddenly, a strong whiz blows off his ear, someone gripped his throat strongly, without hesitating to twitch his neck.

'Long time no see Javier', the voice gave him a dirty smile.

Sunken eyes in its socket, roaming as it rhyme with the bubble ring down pour waving at him through the window. All looks blur with the bloody burst of torture all over his face. He pays attention only to the rapturous crisper of the rain, he smiled at every drop of it, even when he gives no response to the question that has been asked from him for the past ten days. He had been captured and have him sit on the electrical chair.

He got trembled by the thunderous lightening, he felt thirst, stomach grumbled for hunger, he had been rejecting their meals and drops of water, he could recall his last taste was the liquor at patrus-De-sauco restaurant. He gulped his last spit to quenched his thirst. A quick glance at the dread man standing a meter away, with a stick of cigarette burning faintly in his hand. Then at a barrel of stick burning furiously and multiple of iron and medical equipment placed on the table adjacently to him. Continuously, the thought of demanding for water keep waving at his gullet, he had been rejecting the offer ignorantly. The lung pleads with his mouth to be of aid to its drought, which it did reluctantly.

'I need water,' he asked unconsciously. The man simpered at him, he smashed his stick of cigarette on the cold floor and walk to him with a jug of water. Javier was very surprised at his kindness and in a deep contemplation. 'Why don't you have your mouth open, man,' he smirked at him? Javier waited for the down pour to fill his throat, he felt the hotness on his tongue which seems to have burnt his lung.

' What the hell!' he scowled at him

'You dare to seek for water you motherfucker!', he snapped back. Javier's lip got burst by his fist, his mouth began to drip for blood, the cloud felt pity for him, it began to grumbled and rain drizzling follows.

He scoffed and muttered

'Asshole,' staring at him annoyingly.

'How pitiful, you only move under the instruction of that little bitch' he chuckles.

Torres gripped on his collar out ragingly.

'Hey!, any further talk from you again, I won't hesitate to switch that on', pointing at the switch beside him.

'Why?, don't be scared, you won't get killed' he said sarcastically, the man snickered at him and light another stick of cigarette.

'You should be the one to experience that chilly blood, man'.

'Never, I fucking don't scare of that little boy's cold hands.' he felt dizzy a little.

'You know, very soon the fire work will be like, boom!, her secret shall be revealed, and you all shall face the law of Spain,' he guffawed at the last word the man join his dirty laugh as well.

Torres got outraged and hit him.

'fuck off, ass face, you will surely end up died as her servant, I have nothing to loss!' Javier spat at his face.

' Of course, you have nothing to loss, as far you hand over the object'.

A skinny Lady of white complexion, in a shinning flowery gown, on a fitted stiletto black heels that makes a croak sounds as she walked down the stairs interrupted fainted.

'Luna,' He called surprisingly, chilled blood flows through his capillaries.

Russia 2018.

Her step alone makes the drowsy night to hissed, as she walked slowly down the stairs with one her hand dipped into her pajamas and caramel held softly with the other. Her day doesn't go well, she had been piled up with many cases, being the junior among her team. She moaned softly remembering this as she sprawled out on the fifth stars, staring at the starry sky. It reminds her of her dad, she had been told when she was eight that her father happen to be a victim of a car accident. Which she couldn't find the case open since then. She sighed and gnawed the chorizo caramel hungrily. A quick glimpse at the car that alighted into the compound a meter away from her. She still hasn't figured out why her brother doesn't want to visit their father at the columbarium. It is his tenth year anniversary, and none of it has he attended so far. Just for her to lied to their helpless mother who has been sitting on wheelchair after her husband death. She watched him alighting from his car and his pet hopping and barking melodiously, Max caress his little dog's body softly which moan as the hand works on his hairy skin. Narrating his stressful moment, as if little bunny can cuddle him to his taste, he brought out a chocolate for her which she gnawed cheerfully. Suddenly, a pebble land on his head, which got him out of his stressful hours. 'Ouch, what the hell !'

'You should have been taking your time like this just to visit him once, rather than sitting here to play with your fairly pet!' Her plump shape got him startled at all time, even as though he is two years older than her, he is afraid, he might get beating by her, so he stumbled back. 'Uh, Alina, how was your day?' Ignoring his unfaithful question,

'You didn't make it today also' 'uhm... actually... I was so busy' She sneered at him

'Not that excuse again, I am too!, I have many cases to deal with, I take time to visit!' she cried. She knew that isn't the reason he hadn't wanted to visit him, rather there must be something wrong with him, she thought.

'Shouldn't I tell Mom the truth' 'You don't have to, sis'

'Then just visit once, please, I don't think Mom will ever forgive me if she knows about this' 'I will'

'when is that?' 'When it is the right time'

'The right time', she asked curiously 'Can't you tell me your reasons' Not now' 'Alright then, I am going to tell her the truth' 'ok, what do you want?' 'I want you to visit him' 'let me get you your favorite' he said grinning

'Uhm... that's a bribe, but I will have it' she chuckles

' But I will get you that tomorrow, I am exhausted' 'Let it go, good night' She echoes as she walked a meter almost at the stairs. 'Fine, what can I get you now!' 'A piggyback to my room!'she echoed back, 'What!, that sounds crazy!'

'Good night!'

'Alright' He said squatting

'Really,' she ran to meet him

'hop on'

'Aww... I miss this a lot,' she whined as she hopped on his back.

'You are too heavy,' She found his back so comfy as she started singing limerick.

Which his brother found awkward. Max was surprised that she still have the memory of their childhood age. He thanks Goodness, for her, not witnessed the event of their dad, if not, she had been feeling the hatred in his heart as well. 'Max.'

'Yes'

'Do you still remember this limerick, we used to sing it with Dad in the moonlight hour.'

'yes I do, how come you still have that in your skull.'

'I missed him a lot,' she said remorsefully.

Maksim find himself changing the topic to avoid spoiling the peaceful moment.

'Hey., What of your boyfriend'.

'We've broken up'.

'What,' he stopped at the sixteenth stairs.

Keep moving, he asked for it,' she sounds sad, 'oh, I understand'.

' Everything will be alright, sis'.

They have just alighted at her door step, when he asked her another question,

'So, what case have you been dealing with recently?'

They sprawled on the bed, gesticulating at the ceiling fan.

'Well to start up with the gist, I met an inspector last weekend, who happens to be investigating on the death of Mr. Gusev Alex, the chief general of policeman, secretly. Aren't you aware of the news?'she asked curiously, 'Oh I am'.

'Yea, I was informed lately today that an autopsy had been carried out on the body and there is evidence for it presently, but not yet clarified.

'So what has that got to do with you.'

'Oh, yeah, I am interested in the case, so I will be of aid to him.'

'Never Alina... never will I let you be part of this' feigning in annoyance but afraid as his heart beat supersonically.

'Why...why can't I, I have interest in a case like this, it can fetch me a higher post in the future...' she paused

'Max, you're acting strange recently, What's up with you?' she asked confusedly.

'I am fine' he dashed out of the bed and stormed off, the door slammed. She scoffed confusedly,

'What the hell is wrong with him?'

A magnificent glittering golden furniture set, feeling elated in the dubious office of Anthony Pickwick, who was craving for the magazine in front of him, when he heard a knock on his door.

'Sir, you have a vi...'

Someone barged in from behind and interrupted,

'And for what reason do I have to get your permission before stepping into this office of ours' he interrupted sassy. 'Who am I to hinder the imposed of my honorable mentor,' he replied him smarmier. Luis snickered at him before having his sit opposite to him. 'Why do I hold this visit?'

'You may leave,' he said to his secretary.

Luis passed to him a document which he went through also,

'Nothing much, she just wants you to get that signed.'

'What?,'He snarled, 'does she have to take this far' Luis crossed his legs I each other and watch him displaying. 'Well, you still have next week before the first trial to get that signed, or else...' He butted in

'Or else what?, Is She is going to have me killed?, framed me?,'

He got frustrated

'Never will I signed this, I did rather give a fucking dime, then abusing my uniform, I will suit to win the case, and she will judge according to the law of Russia.'

Luis sighed to his cowardliness,

'You have to friend, you shouldn't be dancing on a thin ice, you know who she is, don't you?'

' God damn it. Good of Russia, the scariest demon., Let her have my word, we shall meet at the court yard, and that man shall be proved innocent' he said ranting Luis couldn't stop laughing at him

'Alright man, I know you are frustrated now, why don't you think over it, and get back to me be for the trial, have a nice day'he took his leave immediately

'Get the hell out of here, naughty dog'

His brain his hot, and his blood pressure getting excruciating.

' That dream again.....

The screaming of that young man sitting on an electrical chair, with taser stunning his bone that sized the flow of blood through his vain.

Unconsciously, he was striving to get out of the icky scene, his eyes meet with the man's. His heavily groaning reverberated in his skull, he was covered with beads of sweat that flows down to his hopping stomach. He wasn't able to release the bed spread as he gave it a strong grip as though he was embracing a pillar out of fair.

Suddenly, the scene changes, and he found himself in a cruel race in the depth of a forest, what was chasing him was unknown to him.

Fortunately, he was able to find himself hidden in a hut made of creepy leaves. He was in there, he felt a great relief trailed down his heart, when his ear captured a familiar tune. He is enjoying the vibes, he felt peaceful, then, was he able to release the sheet.

Furthermore, he flashed out of the bed after the second round of his ringing tune, his eyes are swell, his face looks pale, his spiky hair looks blond. Gesticulating at the blur mirror,

he reached out for his phone and have the call received.

He sniffed

'Hi, Kate'

'oh my God, I slept off, I'd be right there in next ten minutes'

He hung up on the call, he jerked off the bed with his tail standing erected as he walked himself in to the bathroom.

'Jeez, max, you almost get us in mess'

Kate snapped at him as they walk toward the hall

'I'm sorry, I've a peaceful night'

Kate began to sniffed, she was perceiving an unpleasant smell, she moved closer to him sharply.

' Are you okay'

'of course I am'

'I don't think so, do you wash your hair'

'I forgot to do so'

'I think this will help,' she picked a bottle from her bag that contains scent liquid, she sprayed it on his head which almost shook him.

They walk smartly towards the hall, at the verge of getting to the door, they depart and Kate make use of the next door.

'Here you go Max' part of his mind whispered softly to him, he inhaled the aura of confidence then shift on the flush door and walk snappily to the podium. A rapturous applause, that faded immediately, welcomed him.

' Good day, the president of biochemistry department, Maksim Nikoleav' He introduced briefly.

There was another round of applause.

The volume of crowd that occupied the hall isn't his phobia, if not of the board of directors, who are willingly to listen to his speech which got his heart on a race. Proceeding with his discourse, the tuned the project, which displayed some pictures.

'HVV-02', he paused A disease caused from unknown chemical reaction, searching for this potent..... it is discovered that the biochemist searching for this, has no record in the history of the ancient biochemist, it is stated that this disease is an ancient pandemic'

'Yea, you're on point, and what do you have on it,' said one of the directors

'yes, to clarified based on the syndrome of this potent. Hvv-02 is more similar to porphyria disease.

It is a group disorder caused by an over accumulation of porphyrin which aid hemoglobin, it binds iron and carries oxygen to the organ and body system.

The disease leads to the desire of consuming the red blood cell'.he concluded.

'Ok, are you telling us that, the disease only make the victim to have interest in consumption of blood'

No, let take a look at this video' the projector was tuned, and it displayed an unpleasant video 'We could see that the victim is not craving for blood, rather getting outrage due to the noise of the protester. Therefore, they experience photoactivity and cacophony, also their hormone burst whenever they make an eye contact with blood. We can't be guessing the cause of this fatal disease.

However,Hvv-02 might be a disease caused by biological agent, voracious plant and animal, note that our point is baseless, when no "analisis dē sangré, occur on this, we shall look forward to the directors' opinion on this, thank you' He bowed.

The air conditioner becomes cooler as the presentation ended with an appreciable applause

The board of directors was the first to dismissed from the hall, whereas the student use the next door. Max got stuck by a voice.

'How desirable are you to move on with this research'

He turned to the voice smiling, his glasses could reveal her shape vividly.

'To the end'

'Wow, oh, I should have done this earlier' she shook hand with him 'Ivanov Nadia, C.E.O of Skylet research center'

'Skylet?!.....oh!, nice meeting you'

'Naddy we have to go' A voice interrupted

''Wish you a smart research' She smirked at him.
