Shimon

Alex is brought down to the church separated from the household he was kept in manned by maids, while other of the members were allowed to go around free.

He was a special guest and kept in his quarters almost at all times, inside the church, Edwin was giving orders holding a notebook dressed in very long robes.

"Oh welcome to the church of Datura," Edwin says turning to Alex, he is instantly intimidated by seeing this kid command people around.

"I am not doing whatever you want me to do!" Alex states rebelling heavily against his chains, Edwin bashes Alex in the face with his fist.

"Is that how you speak to whom is keeping you, prisoner?"

"I didn't know there was a way to talk to someone even smaller than me."

Edwin could feel his fingers twitch, instead of punching him again he breathes in and out, "Joseph...please take him to my office."

He clutches Alex's shoulder trying to drag him away, he attempts to uppercut punch Joseph, but he dodges; Alex pounces back on all fours getting distance.

Another member of the church grabs his chains dragging him on his feet, one from behind tries to seize Alex, "I see you have a lot of fight in you." Edwin responds laughing loudly at his efforts to thrust them away from him the more they latch.

More gather around blocking his paths tightening their circle around him, he sticks his arms up in the air, "That's enough! You are restraining him too much..."

Alex's eyes light up hearing the voice.

A man with white-yellow hair draws a path with his sword.

"Shimon, you have sympathy all of a sudden?" Edwin says with a smirk, he shoots him a glare, pushing the participants away.

They scare easily to his long blade at his side, Alex looks at him in disbelief.

"Shi-shi-mon..." Alex stutters, Shimon sticks his other hand in his pocket.

"Look into my eyes okay Alex?" Shimon asks, "Just breathe please."

Alex does as instructed closing his eyes inhaling and exhaling, Shimon pulls a pen needle out jabbing it into his neck; before he has a chance to respond he collapses into his arms, "I don't know what you expected him to do Edwin..."

"Are you still attached to the cretin?"

"Don't be silly, you lack people skills."

"Why are you carrying around a needle Shimon?" Joseph inquires confused.

"You only wish you knew the jobs I take...I am taking him back to his room."

"Fine, I will be there later to talk to him."

Shimon turns away only to wave, back at the datura housing the maids help him with Alex tucking him, "Thank you, ladies, so much for your help..."

They all giggle leaving, sitting by Alex's side causes a flood of memories to enter his mind, "It was a mistake..." He states wondering why he even took pity on this kid.

Alex slowly wakes up, "Shimon?" he says sitting up, Shimon gets up from the chair.

"I was just about to leave..."

"Why above everything am I seeing you now?"

"It doesn't matter...go back to sleep."

Alex gets up from the bed angrily as Shimon stands in the doorway, "No!"

"What do you want to hear? I am a mercenary and nothing more..."

"So then why did you even save me that day...I did not need your pity!"

"Heathen...although it is unfortunate we meet this way, but nothing more!"

"Doing what you do best at least..."

"Look kid, I am not your Dad or anything...why is this even important to you?"

"A vampire's original master is important to them..." Alex replies in dismay.

"If I recall correctly Alex, you were losing your humanity...how are now so vocal?"

"I met a new master, he gave me a compound and everything, but now I am here."

"You met the wrong man, now your life is in the hands of the Datura..."

A scream is heard down the hall, "Alice! Shimon you must allow me to go!"

"Are you insane, I will get into trouble!"

Alex ignores what he says gliding to his feet out the door gawking around using his senses to guide him running down the staircase bumping into many of the members dressed in normal clothing.

Almost reaching the door, the back of a sword is thrusted into his stomach knocking the wind of him, "You are going to get us both into trouble kid!"

"How...did...you get here so fast..."

"That isn't important, let's go back before were caught!" Shimon whispers worried grabbing him by collar pulling him back from the door.

Alex sticks his pointer finger into his chest furious.

"Oh now you think you can boss me around!"

"If you respect me you will at least listen to me!"

"Respect someone thinks they deserve my respect?"

"fine it doesn't matter! Let's go back now!" Shimon yells, the doors without trying.

Shimon freaks out drawing on the back of Alex's robe, he opens without hesitation.

"Then go so I can leave! You don't care about me anyways."

Looking inside there is nothing inside the room, the bed is flung against the wall; the drawers tipped to the side, items tossed around or broken.

Walking out of the room, "Was she there?"

"No...let's go back up before I get you into trouble..."
