**********
"Supreme one,Emily went on his knees as soon as Vlad appeared,"Rise Emily Vlad said while seated on his throne,I brought news from the vampire villa, alright then go ahead Vlad Said...
"Emily began to tell him everything in details not missing any part , interesting, Vlad said and stood up from his throne, an ally called the "The lady in the red hood "?he asked no one in particular,yes supreme one Emily said...
"You have done well,Vlad patted Emily's back,"What about my tool of destruction"?, you mean the chosen's childhood friend catlayer "?,yes Vlad replied,"As expected,the darkness and envy in her keeps growing by the day,"I see Vlad said...
"Any idea about the whereabouts of the moon chasers?,No supreme one Emily said.."That doctor thinks he can ruin my plans and as for Ares,I will come for him,I thought after the death of Barbara,He will give up on his selfish quest but then he is as stubborn as Barbara.
***After some minutes of silence****
What then should we do, Drake asked, should we attack?,Not yet Vlad said, meanwhile Drake you have to go pick my Media consultant clawden from her hotel and bring her to the company.
***Lavender hotels****
*Clawden room***
Clawden was putting on her earrings when her phone rang,She picked up,"I'm here to pick you ma Drake said from the other end,"give me a minute dear,she said and hanged up.
*********
Clawden was dressed in a sleek black pantsuit, her hair pulled back in a tight bun. Her eyes were hidden behind a pair of dark sunglasses, and she carried herself with an air of confidence and authority. As she walked, her heels clicked against the tile floor, and she exuded a sense of power and control. But there was something else about her, something that went beyond her appearance.
***********
As clawden walked into the office, she was immediately greeted by the hum of the fluorescent lights and the beeping of the computers,She placed her sunglasses on the desk, revealing her bright blue eyes. Then, she opened her laptop and began to type, her fingers flying across the keyboard. She looked determined and focused, as if she was on a mission. And in a way, she was.
"Good morning Ms clawden,Vlad greeted, Good morning Mr Vlad, welcome to my tech company,Nice environment, very warm and cozy, clawden said looking around, thank you Ms clawden,let me show you around..
***********
As Clawden followed Vlad through the halls of the tech company, she was overwhelmed by the sheer size of it. It was like nothing she had ever seen before. Vlad led her to a room where a group of people were working on computers. "This is my tech team," he said. "They are the ones who make my vision a reality." Clawden was impressed. She had never seen anything like it. But as she watched the workers, she couldn't help but feel a sense of unease. There was something about them that didn't seem right,"and this young lady here,is Aria our tech wizard,Hello there Aria,Aria turned and was surprised by the face of clawden,"The woman in front of her looked just like Athena's mother, down to the last detail. It was as if she had been brought back to life. Aria's heart began to race. She couldn't believe what she was seeing. The woman must have noticed her reaction, because she quickly changed the subject. "So, how are you enjoying your tour ma?" she asked. But Clawden could barely hear her. She was too stunned by what she had just seen.
************"""
Clawden smiled,to cover her nervousness,"I can see why you might think that, but I'm not Zara," she said. "My name is clawden. I'm Mr Vlad's campaign consultant." Aria was still in shock. "But...but how?" she stammered. "You look exactly like her. You even have the same smile!" Clawden's smile faded. "I understand why you would be confused," she said. "But I'm not Zara.", That's enough Aria Vlad said after watching the argument,this way Ms clawden,let me show you your office, Vlad said leading the way.
*********
"That was intense,who could have thought little Aria of then could recognize me? clawden muttered and whipped off the sweat from her forehead,"Are you ok , Vlad asked as they get to her office,"of course Mr Vlad,am okay..
"If you see say,"mind having lunch with me later he asked,"that will be great as I missed breakfast, clawden said smiling
************
"As Vlad left the office,an idea came to his mind,the only way to conclude my investigation is by inviting Barang ,the only surviving descendant of Dracula,with her ability to control any being with blood,she will reveal clawden's real self,he said and walked away...
*****Moon chasers headquarters***
Moon chasers,this will be our headquarters,the environment is cozy and the location is hidden Athena said looking around,"and the best part,it has a stream Hermes said,yeah bro,now you can live in the Waters if you want,Ares teased him and everyone laughed...
*************
"What about Barbara's allies?,Ares asked, "whet becomes of them?,How about emerging them with Athena's people"?, after all they are her kind Brielle suggested,"That's a good idea Athena said,one minute,I will call my uncle and inform him that we will having guests, Athena said and stepped out,"She returned after ten minutes,I just got off the phone with my uncle,he said we can come over , Athena said... perfect,this will offer me an opportunity to meet our allies Dr Stevens said,"now I just have to locate the vampires.."That's the problem,"where do we find them?,not to worry moon chasers,Dr Stevens said,"I know where to find them ..
*******Next day***
As Dr. Stevens drove through the winding roads, he thought about his past. He had been a scientist for so long, and he had never questioned his work. But he pushed the thoughts away, determined to stay focused on his goal. Finally, he arrived at his destination, the small town where the vampire allies lived.
After some time, Dr. Stevens finally came upon a small group of people. They were gathered around a fire, and they looked up as he approached. "Are you the one who has come to find the allies?" one of them asked. Dr. Stevens nodded. "I am Dr. Stevens,"who is that"? their leader asked from inside the camp, someone named Dr Stevens,"Did you say Dr Stevens,he asked and emerged from the inside,Damon,Dr Stevens called him and they embraced,"it have been long, you know ever since Barbara died,we decided to return here, Damon said...
************
I came with an offer and I am here to convince you to come with me to the vampire villa," he said. The group was silent for a moment, and then Damon stood up. "We will come with you," he said."but Will they accept us one of them asked,"Worry not gentlemen,for you have the chosen one on your side,surely they won't disobey her,chosen one.....Did you say chosen one, Damon asked,",you heard me well Dr Stevens said, And so the group left with him to the vampire villa...
*****Vampire villa***
Athena on the other hand was trying to convince her people to accept them...Athena looked around at her people, and she could see the doubt in their eyes., and they were not sure if they could trust them. But Athena had a feeling that these vampires were different. She felt a sense of hope, and she wanted to give them a chance. "My people," she said, "we have been taught to shelter the homeless," they are not just anybody but our kind..
***************
"But these vampires are different," Athena continued. "They have come to us with an offer of peace. They are not here to harm us, but to help us. I believe that we should give them a chance." The room was silent for a moment, and then one of the allies stood up. "I agree with Athena," they said. "We must give them a chance." One by one, the other elders stood up and agreed.So when are they coming "?jack asked,"soon , Athena said...
When they arrived at the villa, Dr. Stevens and the allies were greeted by a tall figure. "I am Kingston," the figure said. "And I welcome you to our community" The allies looked around in awe, and Dr. Stevens felt a sense of relief..
"You must be Dr Stevens, Geal said and shaked hands with him,and you Geal , Athena's uncle,I have heard so much wonderful things about you, Keep up the good work,Geal said and walked away...
"Now that you guys have found a new home,I must return to the headquarters,the preparation must continue and I promise to avenge Barbara ,Dr Stevens patted Damon"s back and left with Athena....
