“The plane is equipped to fly us anywhere. I thought you would be more interested in a trip to visit your family,” Gabriel said.
I would’ve squealed in happiness if not for the massive amount of tension I felt at the moment.
After several more minutes, we passed the helicopter and the giant line of awaiting cars. When we reached a good distance from them, I felt a sliver of relief, but not for long, as someone began to shoot at us. I looked to my right, and there they were, the other two black cars. These ones were more aggressive and determined to kill whoever or whatever was inside the car. Luckily, the bullets would ricochet back and not even leave a mark. That is until another type of weapon appeared out of one of the cars and began spewing a storm of bullets.
“Duck, Milady,” Gabriel yelled. “The car is bulletproof, but I won’t take a risk with you in it.”
The bullets slowly moved from the front of the car to the back, making me assume Gabriel passed the vehicles and began increasing the distance between them and us. After a few more minutes, he drove onto the main road and went turbo, leaving a trail of dust behind for the pursuers to inhale.
Once at a good distance, Gabriel said it was safe, and I reemerged from my hideout. After a long sigh of relief, I asked, “Do they know you are a vampire?”
“Unfortunately,” Gabriel said with a wry expression.
“Do they want to capture you because of it? I thought the two realms didn’t interconnect.”
“That was before. Now our existence is a matter of interest to about anyone with governmental power.”
“Is that why you avoid entering The Ordinary Realm?”
He didn’t answer.
“Wait. Don’t tell me they’re on our tails because of me?”
“No. It will never be because of you. Everything I did, including using my powers in The Ordinary Realm, was of my own volition.”
“They can detect your powers, I assume.”
“It’s the only way they can be sure it’s me.”
“But what do they want from you? Are they looking to recruit you as a superhero?” I asked, genuinely concerned.
He laughed with so much gusto I felt a bit embarrassed about my question. “Not quite. They’re after my blood.”
“Oh, that makes sense. Your blood would probably be invaluable to anyone looking for the fountain of youth.”
“They’ve captured many of my brethren, and I’m sure they already found out my blood would never maintain its properties outside my body. Still, they choose to pursue me like an escaped animal.”
“Are you sure it’s a good idea to travel to the US, given you’ve already been found?”
“It’ll take them some time before they realize I’m in the US. If something happens, I can always find shelter with my American brethren in the Washington State forests. Plus, I’m eager to see where you grew up. And I want to know all the funny moments of your childhood.”
“Are you sure you want to hear everything about me? Because my mom could babble a six-hour presentation on my sister and me.”
“If it takes a week, I’ll be more than happy to walk down memory lane with your mother.”
“Did Troy buy the plane tickets already?”
“Plane tickets? Yes, of course, he bought the tickets,” he said with a tinge of sarcasm. “We’ll be there in less than an hour. You can take a rest, Milady.”
After the numerous events that happened in the morning, my eyes closed on their own, and sleep took over all my senses without realizing it.
I woke up to a cacophony of sounds. When I rubbed my eyes open, I realized we were at the airport, but not on the main side. In front of us stood a black Boeing with its door open and large stairs as if waiting for the president. The inscription on the plane said Alterum Regnum. “Why are we here?” I asked in confusion.
“This is our flight, Milady. We must hurry.”
“Do not tell me you own a plane as well,” I said.
“I own several. This is the one we had at the Sibiu location,” he said.
