(Rey's POV)

I was genuinely confused. What the hell was going on...? My entire body was light all of a sudden and my heart started beating rapidly. 

Brutus gave me a look, "You alright?" 

I saw as Red walked up to me and patted my shoulder, "Take it easy, buddy." He said with a smile, "I know being in the vicinity of fermented Chupacabra hairs is a bit overwhelming...." 

I looked at him, "Excuse me?" I asked

He looked at the shelf behind me, "Chupacabra hairs. They're fermented." He said, "They give off this strange but potent odor. Great for producing a lotion that'll keep a Vampire's skin shiny." 

"Only if you mix it with a Sphinx's mane and lavender." Brutus said, "Otherwise the smell is horrendous."

I looked at them, "What the hell are you talking about???" I said

It's like I forgot about what had happened not even 30 second ago, this guy in my hea-

I'm still here, hehe.

Stop it!!

Alright alright. Just so you know, this entire place is a collection of Underworld Ingredients. Alchemy, if you will. Call it an Apothecary. 

Red looked at me, "Apothecary collection." He said as he walked over to a self and grabbed a bag, "Here." 

He tossed me the bag and I caught it. It was a large zip up bag with what looked like white powder. 

"What's this?" I asked

"Cocaine." He said

I dropped the bag, "What?!" 

"Hey!" He exclaimed as he threw himself to catch it, "The fuck is your problem?!" 

"My problem? You're giving me narcotics!!!" I yelled as I backed up, "That's not legal!!" 

He stood up as he held the bag of cocaine and scowled, "I think this guy is actually a narc...." He said as he raised the gun he had

"Red." Brutus spoke up, "Give me my order of stuff. I'm in a hurry. And put that damn gun down. You know that harming him will anger Lady Priscilla." 

"Tch." Red said as he lowered the gun, "Alright, fine. Hey Bel!!" 

"Eh?" I heard another voice 

I turned to see a floating little hairy blob with green eyes. He was giving me a scowl. 

"Who's this fucking human?" it said

I blinked, "W-What's this thing?" 

"Bel the Blob." Brutus said, "One of Red's workers." 

I noticed that the blob had a little mini-vest on. It looked at me as it raised its little arms and pointed it at me. 

"Whatcha looking at asshole? I'll kill you." He said with a glare

"Bel, shut up." Red said, "Give Brutus his order." 

"Fine." It said as it pulled out a paper, "Alright, 6 pounds of Cocaine....check....3 strands of Cupacabra Hair...check.....an ounce of ground Sphinx claws...a rabbit's foot...check.....the eye of a gargoyle....check.....17 pounds of....godamn, Brutus, Unicorn manure? Who the fuck are you trying to hunt?" 

"That's my business." Brutus said

The little blob floated towards us as he looked up at me, "This one gonna help me or what?" He said, "Get yer ass moving, boy!" 

"Take it easy." Brutus said, "That's Lady Priscilla's fiancee." 

"I don't give a fuuuck!" Bel said as he scowled, "Move it, boy!" 

I looked at Brutus, "I....I guess I could help...." 

"I ain't got all night! Gotta go help Sam bury a body!" He yelled as he floated a body

"What?" I said

"Don't worry about it." Red said before looking at Brutus, "Vettori's thugs tried to cause some trouble." 

"They're in the area?" Brutus asked

"Yea, be careful. Those mutts are annoying." Red said, "Italian Mafiosos....who happen to be Werewolves. Kid, if you run into the Vettoris, kick them in the nuts and run as fast as you can." 

"Don't....do that...Rey..." Brutus said before nodding, "Go help Bel, I'll meet you in back with the car." 

I nodded, "Alright." 

*********************************************

"I still wonder what the Unicorn manure is for, Brutus." Bel said as I closed the trunk of the car, "You don't use that for cleansing a human body, eh?" 

I stepped back and wiped my hands with a rag that Red gave me, there was a lot of stuff other than the "ingredients" Brutus ordered from Red. 

"I said.....it's my business, go back inside." Brutus said

"Bah!" Bel said as he floated away

I looked at Red, "What is he?" I asked, "He's so rude...." 

"Hehe..." Red said as he walked over to the car trunk and sat on it, "He's....well, Bel." 

I blinked, "Okay..." 

"Listen, Kid. Someone with Primordial blood like you is bound to meet a lot of supernatural creatures." He said, "Bel happens to be one of them. The world is full of crazies, excluding me of course." 

I nodded, "O-Okay...." 

He said he was an Arch-Devil, though. What the hell does that mean? Is he evil? Is the Devil? Lucifer? 

Ah, the Dark Prince, the Fallen Angel.....Don't mention that name around me, kid. Fuck that guy, that's on everything I stand for. Is that how the kids these days say that saying? I don't know. 

But I'm serious. Don't think of that name ever again, not good for your Sanity. I'm just Red. I'm not Evil.....I'm not good either.....I'm just.....Me.....

I looked at him, "Red..." I said quietly

Brutus looked at me, "Huh?" 

"Nothing.." I shook my head

"Vampires, Werewolves, Witches...." Red started, "Djinn, Kitsunes, Shifters, Fairies....you'll meet many races of the Supernatural world. Watch out for Djinn and Fairies, they're the worst." 

"Agreed." Brutus said

"Also, of all the Vampire Lords in the Underworld, you struck gold." Red continued, "I've known Priscilla since she was a tiny little baby. She's the kindest Vampiric soul you'll ever meet. It's not an act, kid, she is a good soul. An anomaly, the Black Sheep." 

Brutus nodded, "Lady Priscilla is one of a kind." He said

"Don't put your expectations of other Vampire Lords as high as Priscilla." Red said, "They're the worst. Trust me, the fucking worst. I hate them. Even the Alpha Werewolves and Elder Witches don't hold a candle to them, and they're pricks too. But who am I to speak ill of those lads, eh? They hear me speaking like this and they'll throw a fit." 

"Nobody dares to lay a finger on you, Red." Brutus said, "You're untouchable." 

"Hehe...." Red said as he jumped down from the car, "Alright, kid. You're on a hunt, I see? Careful...oh....by the way, if you need help in Awakening....let me know..." 

"O-Okay..." I said as I blinked

Your power will decide the fate of the World...it is Written....

Right....

I mean it. 

"Oh....that' right..." Red said patting my shoulder, "If you see the full moon tonight...." 

"Pack some silver bullets.....it'll slow them down."
