Path of the Vampire forum

“Saya meminta merah dengan sedikit hitam. Bukan titik hitam di laut merah.” Icy blues stared at the table linen that had earned her disapproval and clear rejection. It was not what she asked for and because it was still there the joints of her jaws absorbed the tension of her teeth lining up. “La menjadi isu malang yang nampaknya mengulangi sendiri secara teratur. Saya telah selesai dengan ini. Anda akan tiba seperti yang diharapkan dan bukan bersembunyi di bawah batu anda. Apabila anda sudah selesai, saya akan mengharapkan anda di pejabat saya.”

Dulce Periculum was not in the mood to end the call with any sort of pleasantries that she was nowhere close to feeling on her end of the business with the company representative in Borneo. The snap of the communication device to the heavy furnished wood said as much. If a witness was needed there was one present. Sada Abe, personal assistant extraordinaire was perched in her designated sitting chair with her eyes on the Amazon of a boss that finally looked her direction.

“I told you that they were sending the wrong table sets. I tried to cancel the order but I ended up with two of them yelling at me with last years history and refusing to accept you changed things up.” The petite woman turned her wrist to set off a shimmer of a pricey time piece displayed on her. “Do you want me to make reservations for them? Tomorrow night to early or late?”
“I would expect them to arrive promptly, yes.” Sitting at the desk any longer only reminded her all the more that the decor changes she was mixing up to freshen things would be delayed even longer than she originally planned. “They can stay here.” Her eyes caught those of her assistant as she passed by heading for the door to the office. Sada knew what that meant and her color seemed to leave her face as the much taller woman finally cleared her space. “Inform Hantu that we will have business guests.”

Waiting was all part of the time consuming process of dealing with humans. Time invested wasn’t a huge tax to her but waiting for the particular humans she was waiting for had her in a spot she wouldn’t have had to be in doing what she found about as stimulating as watching grass grow. Waiting for a plane to land was not on her list of top ten things to do.

“I just checked and the flight is finally coming in.” Sada looked up for the proof that the information given to her was correct. A soft late summer breeze passed over both of them and their hands swept the lengths of black and honey blonde strands back into their respective places. “You see it or picking anything up?”

Sada knew that was a fair question. The woman looming beside her petite shoulders could taste a drop of blood in the night air that was up for grabs like a hungry shark could in open water. Fuel spent in the air should be up her alley to locate. Especially something as large as a double decker wide body four engine airbus with the carrying capacity of five hundred bodies give or take a few who got the unfortunate bump and screw. When she received no fast answer she glanced up which meant her neck had to crane and her head had no choice but to tilt back. It was that or step away a few feet, It wasn’t worth drawing more attention to herself than she already had by asking in the first place.

“It is coming.” The confirmation was followed by a nod to the massive building only yards in front of them that the guests would eventually find their way through to search for their luggage. More time would pass before they all finally met up.“Please retrieve and greet them. I will check in with Hantu.”

As soon Sada disappeared a click of her sharp heels had her approaching the door of the chauffeured luxury car that was black on black with even more black where something else besides black should be. Long pale fingers opened the back door and the allurist slid inside on her own. It was a thing that had to be done since the uniformed chauffeur was heading into the airport as directed to. Sada Abe covered all the bases.

“Tetamu kami mendarat. Saya mengharapkan mereka dalam masa setengah jam.” Icy blues sparkled in the dark as they found the screen used for communication where she could view Hantu doing what he took pride in. Which he should given his known talents. It had brought him a respectable wealth and business portfolio that was increasing each year. “Saya tidak akan menangguhkan keesokan harinya jika boleh dielakkan.”

Thirty minutes later the vehicle was floating in the lead of a smooth procession of cars through the city. The glow of nightlife in full swing towering in buildings that lined the streets offered the only light to be had in the otherwise extraordinarily black interior. A branching off of a single lane into two had the limousine navigating to the right while most behind opted for the left. The gradual change in direction did little to shift Dulce’s attention. Sounds of two heartbeats echoed in her head while she stared coldly at the bodies each belonged to.

“Kami menghargai penginapan yang anda tawarkan secara murah hati. Kami berharap anda tidak akan tersinggung bahawa kami telah mendapat tempahan di West Hotel.” The glow of a cell phone screen illuminated in the interior. Each face framed in black hair and outlined with similar structures came to view while the phone shifted hands between the two opposite of her rear facing seat. “Ia adalah yang paling sedikit yang boleh kita lakukan.”

The hat perched on the petite head sitting in the driver's seat turned just enough to catch the slight turn of the golden one behind her. The hard to miss signs of the option of Hotel West for travelers to rest pulled the Tokyo born beauty’s face back to the road ahead. Her boss would handle it. She always did. A shimmering pale bow of a smile formed as the car sailed right on through the intersection leaving the towering upscale building of comfort behind. While glare of the screen softened the two heads turned with the hotel sinking behind the car. The light faded to darkness as any energy saver option on a quality cell phone should be expected to do.

“Sekurang-kurangnya anda boleh lakukan bukan pilihan. Penerbangan anda seperti yang dijangkakan. Anda tiba dengan selamat. Anda mengharapkan hak ini?” She sat so still she didn’t even blink.

For two humans so far from their home it was hardly a sign they were hoping for. Both heads turned to look at the other as if some solutions could be found to warm the instant chill settling in. The woman was known to have a frosty disposition that could solidify and sharpen a witch’s tit. A cold *** ***** even on the hottest of August summer nights summed it up and generally it would have been no surprise for the two guests in her care. The exception was that the two at a loss for what to do next never found themselves on the receiving end before. So far they had only been spectators that were fortunate to slip out of the boardroom before icicles formed on the ceiling.

“Ya. Sudah tentu.” Came out of one mouth while the other took a hopeful long look out of the window.

Silence and body heat was the consistent theme in the duration of the ride to Dragon’s Gate Inn. Once the car arrived Sada performed dutifully by opening doors and assisting with the limited luggage which helped immensely given the woman barely held solid standing up at five feet even. While Dulce led the business guests inside the bewitched human struggled with the last bag that was giving her the most trouble. A repeated tug succeeded in the suitcase coming free of the trunk and hitting her in the face for her exerted effort.

“Oh, I don’t think so, Blondie.” Sada hissed. Her lip and nose were instantly throbbing.

Everything that happened to her, as far as Sada Abe was concerned, was Dulce’s fault. The amazonian ice queen reject and her Cuisine Houdini ginsu knife happy mate needed to find someone else to get ***** slapped by the guests luggage. A few steps had her dropping off the suitcases being pulled via leash in the right hand. The offending carry on piece that more than likely delivered a mean right hook and split her lower lip didn’t make it in the restaurant. A firm stretch back of her dominant left hand had the designer leather spiraling out over the open railing and splashing down in open water.

“Sada?” Her name called out had her heels clicking double time to head inside.
“Yes, Ma’am.” Feeling better already the pint sized beauty strolled in no worse for wear. “Coming!”
