VISITORS 1

After dinner, Ocean parted ways with his neighbour in order to prepare for his visitors. He sat with his legs crossed on the reading table while enjoying his glass of wine. When the clock struck twelve midnight he smiled as he heard the sound of his door and as if not bothered by the intrusion, he closed his eyes while resting his head on the back of the chair, enjoying the taste of his red wine. The footsteps parted ways as they went in search of the second person[Stone]. When three footsteps got closer to his room, he sighed

"10 against one, interesting" he shook his head and started whistling to an unknown song, making the candle light go off while an invisible wave spread out in the apartment. When the door to his room opened, he stopped whistling but didn't open his eyes

"is he sleeping or dead because he is not moving?" whispered one of the three men that entered his room as he turned on the lights

"Why are you so useless? how can a dead man be holding a half filled glass of wine?" replied another man

"Both of you should shut it. whether dead or alive the instruction is to drag him out of this place and that we are going to do, now move" came the third person's angry comment

"He looks harmless and dangerous at the same time. we can go back and tell the boss that he is dead" the first man suggested

"Bobby I really don't know why the boss chose you for this job because right now, all I can see is your tremendous stupidity" once again, the second man was fast to attack the first man whose name is Bobby

"what is the meaning of tremendous? if not for the word stupid I would taken all you said as a compliment." Bobby replied with a confused look

"Can you both shut the fuck up if not I would waste my bullets in your fucking brains!" the third man whisper-yelled at the other two men.

"I don't know about you guys but I don't think I can do this type of job, my wife and kids are waiting for me at home and here I am trying to harm an innocent man. Even though things are hard for me to the extent that I can barely feed my family, I was taught that killing for money has never ended and will never end well. I want to have a genuine identity that can be passed from one generation to another, I don't want karma biting my kids in the ass later in the future because of what their uneducated father did. I know you two are far too gone in this job but believe me-"

"what are you, Saint Bobby? I knew right from the beginning you were only good at running that gutter you call a mouth" out of anger, the second man snarled his fangs at Bobby who is nothing but a human. Bobby who had only heard tales of vampires but has never had any encounter with one until now literally passed out with a terrified look.

"I haven't even touched you yet, just wait till I suck you dry"

"you can do that later, let's get this job over and done with I am sure the boss is waiting outside with the other prey" they turned to see Ocean refilling his empty glass

"Where is your boss? Is he scared to face me himself that he sent you?" he took a sip from his wine glass while looking at the two men that are staring right back at him, trying to intimidate him with their light red eyes

"with the way you two are looking at me I am beginning to think your boss didn't give you a heads-up on who you are up against?"

"Look here, we are not here to banter words with you, it is either you follow us willingly or you won't like the outcome" warned the third man

"Are you even listening to yourself, so you expect me to willingly follow you so you can kill me?" he relaxed again on the chair, intertwining his fingers at the back of his head

"this is why I hate humans, always making everything complicated for themselves." came the second man's impatient voice

"You have quite a temper there boy" Ocean replied in a calm voice as if the men in front of him are old acquaintances. The older man looked at Ocean, knowing as a vampire he is twice the younger man's age. Knowing exactly what is going on in the man's head, he chuckled

"Do not be deceived, I am what they call 'every year young' trust me when I say I am twice the age of your great, great, great, great and counting great grandfathers" Ocean teased the man. Without warning the third man who has had enough of Ocean's cockiness cocked his gun and aimed it at Ocean who flashed him an innocent smile.

"I don't want to be unfair and that is why I would allow you to go out there and call your boss for me, I want him to be the one to kill me"

"The instruction is we should drag you out of your room and that we must do as we have already collected a pay on your behalf. Now move" the third man ordered

"Make me." Ocean gulped the remaining wine in his wine glass and kept it on the table before standing to stretch himself dramatically. "What are you waiting for? I don't understand why you are scared of this little human here" he waved at himself, angering them more

"I have had enough of your cockiness" before any one could say anything, the second man used his vampire speed to attack Ocean who completely disappeared before he could launch his attack. "What just happened?" he asked, baffled at the sudden disappearance of the human

"What do you think?" Ocean reappeared in the middle of his bed with a wide smile while checking out his long claws

"you are not human!" the men exclaimed

"Thanks for realizing late. It was nice talking to you both but I am getting bored" he disappeared again before they could utter any word. He appeared in front of the second man and a loud scream filled the room as he pushed his long and sharp claws through his chest "shush. I don't want you disturbing my rabbit teeth neighbour across, let's keep it down. Sorry she can't hear you"

The third man pulled the trigger but bubbles came out instead of bullets. Not believing his eyes, he continued shooting out bubbles that floated in the air

"isn't it cute?" asked Ocean as he waved his hand in air to touch some bubbles

"What are you?"

"I am nothing but a rogue vampire"

"That is a lie, rogue vampires are worthless and do not possess such powers" the man stared right at him

"I am glad to know that." The next seconds passed in a blur as he pierced his fangs into the man's neck before ripping his heart out of his chest. With the blood dripping down his mouth and the dark aura, he left his room to find others. One by one, he killed them by either drinking from them or ripping their hearts out. While he was drinking from one of the intruders, he felt a familiar presence behind him and a sinister smile danced on his lips before he turned around

"It's been a while Zack."

"True and that is why I didn't miss the opportunity of seeing my dearest friend" The sarcasm didn't go unnoticed by Ocean but he laughed it off while staring at the man who is an old enemy

"That is you of course. Always waiting for lifetime opportunities because you can never do anything right, always on the losing side. You have aged a lot more than a normal vampire and I wonder why? Are those wrinkles I see on your forehead?" Ocean teased the man while maintaining his sinister smile. The man let out a dry laugh

"I can see after all these years, you still have a large mouth"

"what can I say, I can't help it anytime I see a loser like you"

"I see. Guess what my dear old friend?"

"what Zack?"

"Do believe me when I say anytime I see you, things keeps getting better as I brought a gift for you this time" Ocean didn't have the chance to speak as the man with an almost equal speed pierced something into his chest, making him stagger back and gasp for air.
