Chapter 6
Kid
The next evening, I went to work, ready for my date with Lucifer with an extra set of clothing in my bag. I came in earlier with the hope that David will let me leave earlier and off course because of the scare I had last night, I didn’t want to walk in the dark. That is the other problem I had what am I going to do about my shifts now, I mean I’m scared after last night, should I tell David or even Lucifer. Then I stopped myself, why would I want to tell Lucifer about last night? We don’t have any kind of relationship. I was in my own thoughts when I heard David behind me “Hi Kid, you here early.” “Hi David I was hoping I could get off earlier tonight if you don’t mind, we have enough staff for the evening.” “Yes, off course why not?” “Thank you, David.” “My pleasure.” I greeted all the staff and went out to the bar, where I saw Lucifer sitting at the table at the back. I poured him a glass of proper expensive scotch and walked towards him. As I approached, he looked up “Ah Kid, hello how are you?” “Hi Lucifer I’m good and you?” “No complaints thank you.” “I brought you this.” I put the glass in front of him. “Thank you, Kid.” “My pleasure, and then I can get off work earlier so we can leave earlier.” “That’s great news I’ll be staying here until you are done.” “You really don’t have to you can give me your address and I’ll meet you at your place.” I said with a bit of uneasiness. “No no I’ll wait.” “As you wish.” David walked out towards Lucifer. “Shout if you need anything.” “Thank you, Kid.” He said as I walked away.
Lucifer
I could see Kid was a bit rattled after last night, even when she said she will walk to my place her whole body was screaming the opposite. As Kid left David sat down at the table. “David how are you?” “I’m good Lucifer, how are you? What has it been 90 years?” “98 actually.” “Fuck, how long have you been back in Seattle?” David asked me “About 10 years, I opened an art gallery a few blocks from here and I have a few all around the States.” “Weird we haven’t bumped into each other?” “Is it really? You know I’m not a big Bar fan.” I said with a bit of sarcasm “That is true but you do know we have other similar interest.” “We do but I have a new way of dealing with that.” “Oh, really do tell?” David said very interested “Oh not so fast tell me are you still relying on the fans for blood?” “Yes, I am and believe me through all these years there is always vampire fans that wants to be drank from and are leaning into the fantasy.” “I’m sure, but I like the taste of one person for a period of time.” “Is that your plan with Kid?” “Wow straight to business.” “You do know she’s very innocent right?” David said a bit protective. “I do, I also know she doesn’t believe in Vampires.” “How ….. NO never mind don’t tell me how you know, I see you still use your powers?” “I do, I mean we got them for a reason.” “Let’s agree to disagree on that shall we.” David said “I think that is a very good idea.” “So, what is your plan with Kid?” “Well, if you must know tonight would be her last shift at the bar.” “Wait what?” “Yes, I’m going to tell her to move in with me be my servant and work in my art gallery.” I said it like it was nothing, but clearly it was something for David.
“What you going to tell her to be your servant, do you even know Kid? She will tell you to go and fuck yourself.” “Well David she doesn’t really have a choice if you see my real colors you have to pay for it.” “She saw you drinking from someone?” David asked shocked. “She did.” “But she didn’t say anything.” David said surprised. “She convinced herself it wasn’t true.” “How?” “You really want to know the nitty gritty?” “NO not really. Is there no way to convince you to go to someone else?” “No sorry David my mind is made up. Besides it will be good for her not work here if I didn’t follow her last night she would have been raped.” “What?” “Yes, I followed her home then 2 fucking kids started following her when I caught them, I asked them, where they going to rob her or rape her, they didn’t answer, so what do you think was there plans.” “Fuck.” “Yes, maybe don’t have a woman who can’t defend herself, work so late David.” “Fuck you Lucifer, don’t tell me how to run my business.” “Oh yes that is why we haven’t seen each other for the past 98 years.” I said sarcastically. “And why is that?” “You think you are better than the rest of us, you still a vampire David, no matter how you get your fix.” “I fucking know that Lucifer how can I ever forget.” “See the difference between you and me is I’ve made peace with the fact that I’m a Vampire and I lean into it, you on the other hand try to shy away from the fact.” “I’m not going to go into this with you all I’m asking you is please look after her and for God’s sake don’t kill her.” “Really, ‘For God’s sake’ you can’t tell me you believe in God?” “You know what I mean Lucifer.” “I do and I will look after her I promise.” “But you didn’t promise me you won’t kill her.” “It’s because I can’t make that promise.”
