CHAPTER III

Monday.

      "Yeah. Thanks," Gabriel cuts the call. Gabriel wears a black Burberry leather jacket; the weather is cold in Queens, New York, on this day.

Samuel just wears his usual tux, he sits on a sofa away from Gabriel as he sips his wine, "That was Amanda" Gabriel says, "So, what's new?" Samuel asks.

"Father has sent some people to find us" "So, they won't find us" "Samuel, he sent trackers" "What? Father doesn't like dogs".

"Do you think he knows about Rachael?"

"I doubt that, but if he finds us he will find her" "Yes and devour all three of us.

And I don't know about you but I'm not dying anytime soon" Gabriel says.

  "What are you two devils planning now?" a lady says, "Elma" the twins chorus.

Elma is  5'10ft, she has long blonde hair that she loves to show off.

She is fair in complexion with a radiant aura, she wears tight clothes that reveal her sexy curves and her cleavage. She walks seductively, shaking her ass and licking her lips while her blue eyes move between the twins.

Every fuckboys dream girl.

     "If it isn't the vampire after my own heart" Samuel says, "He means balls" Gabriel taunts, Elma walks to Gabriel and links her lips with his.

Gabriel and Elma embrace each other in a tongue tied kiss.

"Come on, there is love in sharing" Samuel says.

Elma smiles as she lets go of Gabriel and goes over to the black Italian sofa where Samuel sits.

She widens her legs and sits on his lap, Samuel relaxes his head backwards as Elma lowers her head and lock her lips with his.

"Okay. He has a girlfriend who is really hot," is the first thought that pops in Rachael's head as she watches from the doorway.

"Samuel, your problem is here," Gabriel says as he notices her.

Elma and Samuel break their union to look towards Rachael.

They can see her trying to avert their eyes.

Samuel stands up, "Miss McQueen, you are early" he says, "Well, you did say I should be punctual".

"That's good" "Hey, who are you calling a problem?" she says in an angry tone, "Dickface" she mumbles under her breath.

"You do realize we have the same face" Samuel says.

She wears a face of awry.

"How did he hear that?", she wonders.

"You are trying to get killed girl," Gabriel says as he starts to walk toward her.

 Samuel stops him in his tracks, "Hey, no one is getting killed", "Who is she?" Elma asks, "This is Rachael McQueen. Our new secretary" Samuel answers.

"Standing up to Gabe already, I like her" Elma says with a smile.

"Let me give you a tour before you get started" Samuel leads Rachael out of the room.

"She is human" Elma says to Gabriel, "Of course she is. Why else do you think she's pathetic?" he says, "I don't think she is pathetic. What do you have against her?".

Gabriel goes speechless.

"It's my fault her father is dead, I can't bare to see her, she reminds me of him.", a thought he keeps to himself.

"Its not your problem Elma".

        Samuel and Rachael walk through the different parts of the club and they chat along the way. 

"I want to apologize for my brother's behavior", "No problem there. I just hope I won't see much of his face while I work here" "Actually you work for him" "What?" "Don't worry, he is not as bad as he acts".

They reach an office in the club on the first floor, "This is where you will handle your duties. The financial and administrative issues, in fact you will be doing the work of a manager".

"Why don't you just promote me to manager?" "Not yet, Miss McQueen".

Besides why would he do that? He wonders.

"Is it too early to ask for a pay rise? " "Yes Miss McQueen it is,  Good luck", he says with a smile as he leaves.

Rachael sits at her new desk which is very clean but has some scattered documents on it, like someone had been in here a while before she arrived.

She notices a little book under the scattered documents.

She opens the first page 'Drago Morningstar' is written on it, strange name, she thinks.

She opens the next page 'Nightmare' is written on it. The word catches her attention, "Nightmare" she mumbles.

A little force bends the air around the table as breeze brushes some documents to the ground.

Suddenly, the book starts to flip pages by itself and Rachael panics.

She runs to a corner of the office and looks in fear .

She waits a moment before she catches her breath and slowly walk towards the table.

She can feel her palm get sweaty as the 8 feet journey to the table gradually comes to an end.

'Rachael you are a big girl. No freaking book is going to scare me'.

She looks into the book and sees a writing, Nightmare, on the open page and there is a drawing of a blade with some Latin writings beneath the image.

She knew it was Latin because of her Latin classes back in high school.

"Its Latin, but I can't read it. Damn it, should have taken that class seriously".

Yes, she struggled to pass that class, Latin wasn't her thing.

Everything on the book is written in Latin except for the word Nightmare.

She search the little shelf in the office for any other strange book, she didn't have any idea what the strange book would look like but she finds a dictionary, a Latin dictionary.

This is going to be handy.

Samuel returned to Gabriel who is now alone.

"So, did you ask her about Nightmare?" Gabriel asks, "No. I mean we aren't sure if she even knows about it" Samuel replies.

"Sammy, she is the only one that can possibly find it", "Don't wet your pants yet brother.

I left our father's book with a Latin dictionary for her to explore. It should jog her memories a bit".

"In case that doesn't work we can check her place" Gabriel says.

"Wait, you know where she lives?" Samuel is surprised, "Yeah. She had Frank's scent so I followed her some days back.

I didn't know her then" "You sly dog. You are a stalker" Samuel taunts his brother, Gabriel shoots a furious gaze at Samuel, who goes quiet.

The silence holds for a minute.

"At least if she doesn't know anything we get a pretty secretary" Samuel says with a naughty look on his face.

"Are you planning on seducing her?" Gabriel asks, "Well, If necessary I will" "She is Frank's daughter" "So, you do care about her" "Shut up".

"Hey guys" John walks into the room, moving some strands of his blonde hair from his face.

"What is he doing here? ", Samuel asks, "I called him. He has information", Gabriel can sense the fear in John at the sight of Samuel.

"Talk" Gabriel commands.

  His tone is as stiff as a soldier going to war.

"My girlfriend, told me her pack sensed some werewolves entering town.

She confirmed them to be a werewolf group called The Trackers".

Samuel and Gabriel glance at each other.

"We don't know what they want" John adds.

"We have to find Nightmare, fast" Gabriel says to his brother.

Who are these Trackers?
