8 Chapter 08 - Leaving

I've been here in Alaska for over a year, with Kate and her family, I feel good. I have someone to talk to, in addition to healthy and pleasant meetings with Kate and her sisters, it was funny to see the plaintive look they got when Kate bragged about having conquered my virginity.

Furthermore, I still remember my surprised look when Eleazar told me that the three of them had made a bet to find out who would win me over.

Although sex was something we had a lot of, our relationship never went beyond a beautiful friendship with benefits, no cheating or demands, we are healthy, beautiful, and we have needs.

And so my life went on, but it was time to leave. I've been a vampire for almost two years, my vegetarian eating habits brought me a sense of peace that I didn't have during the period I fed on human beings, this led me to some speculations.

Regarding my powers, it was funny to see everyone's eyes when I used my stingers for the first time, they then told me about how some vampires would develop abilities after their transformation.

Kate for example was able to discharge electricity through her body, shocking those she touched.

Eleazar could sense someone's abilities, although he said mine were strange, whenever he was near me and tried to probe me, he had the feeling he was looking into a pit of flames that threatened to burn him and destroy his being. Body and soul, if as vampires we had such a thing.

As a young man now 18 years old, and after thanking and saying goodbye to my new family, it was time to leave. I need to learn more about my hellfire, although I can give him basic commands, I still feel like there's more, like I just scratched at the simplest and stupidest of his skills, and could get things beyond my wildest imaginings when I learned to truly use it.

Fortunately, I know exactly where to find answers. Departing back south, intending to go to Boston, where a cult of demon worshipers caused some trouble by kidnapping some young girls. Only one member of the cult was arrested.

Still, I don't need such small fish, all I need is to go to the warehouse and catch the scent of the goat-man responsible for that place, if there is one.

Once I have your scent, tracking you will be simple, as Carmen taught me several ways to do this. Carmen has a talent for these things, and he taught me a lot in the year I've been here.

A quick flight to Boston, and now I'm heading to the warehouse where the police found the bodies of the sacrifice victims, having spent more than a year in Alaska, the city air hits my nostrils terribly, so many mixed smells is something that bothers, although I don't need to breathe to survive, it's still necessary to identify the smells in the air. Whether they are from an enemy or a potential prey.

Finding the warehouse wasn't difficult, as every newspaper in the country published about what happened here, looking at the insulation strips from the top of the neighboring building, jumping to the warehouse roof.

On the floor, it is still possible to observe the marks where the fire of hell was present, as well as the blood marks on the floor. Whoever used this fire from hell was an amateur, looking at the marks left and considering that the bodies of the victims of sacrifice still existed.

I can tell they just burned their souls, pretty stupid since without bodies the police wouldn't know anything, sniffing around the place no goat smell comes to me.

Unfortunately only ordinary humans have been here, so still picking up some scents and memorizing them, I'll do a little cleaning in this town.

My first target lived in a beautiful mansion outside the city. The property, occupying several acres, stood out in the middle of the night, the dozens of parked cars and the sounds of light music and conversation present indicating a high-class reunion in progress.

Watching a car approach is time to get in on the action. Jumping in the middle of the road a few hundred meters ahead I lie down in the middle of the road and wait, the car stops right next to me and a couple gets out,

Before they can move more than a step, I get up from where I'm lying and with a quick jab at each one I put them to sleep.

I don't intend to kill them, just make them sleep for the next ten or twelve hours. Taking off the clothes of the man who is approximately 1.90 tall, I dress in them. Now dressed for a high-class party, I put my two guests in the trunk and head to the party.

At the party I can see some famous politicians and businessmen, getting a small glass of champagne, I use a simple trick I learned from my hellfire, making it burn whatever I eat. It's quite useful for mixing with humans.

My beauty along with my golden eyes attracts the attention of many women present, yet my eyes are fixed on a beautiful woman talking in a small circle.

About 30 years old and 1.65 tall, with reddish-blond hair and bright green eyes, his body with slightly fuller curves is a sight to behold.

My gaze on her finally draws her attention to me as she approaches, a slightly predatory smile spreads across my face, not interested in her beauty. Only in the information I can extract from it. After all, her scent is something I've been following from Boston to here.

'' I don't think I know you. And that's weird since I know all the guests in my house." My smile just gets bigger.

'' Although I still don't know you, my beautiful lady, I must say that I know a lot about your special hobbies.''

'' I came here because of what happened a few nights ago at the warehouse. Her group oversight has caused us some problems, and I'm here to help resolve them." My gaze fixed on her eyes, I can see the terror there.

'' Follow me please... I didn't expect your visit, it's usually Richard who handles everything.'

I'll meet Richard, of course, but I was curious to meet other members of his group, and that's why I'm here." I keep conversation simple as we walk away from the ballroom.

We come to an oak door where, I can feel the presence of a person, a man, judging by the smell. Before I can understand more about the person inside, my guide opens the door as she announces us.

'' Paul, a member of the church is here to meet us.''

Looking at the man in front of me my smile widens even more, although I have been unable to smell him perfectly outside, now facing him I can notice the faint animal scent that starts to spread through his body.

It's so light it would escape anyone who wasn't looking for it, but I've had enough encounters to spot it in a glance.

Releasing my stinger, stab in the woman's back as I stare at the man in front of me, it's time to acquire some knowledge. And maybe a nice meal.
