@venefiicas PLOTTED for a starter
Errand boy, that was all he’d ever be, even with the nice suit and well kept appearance. Even as he drove a bit above the speed limit in a sleek black jaguar Melvin was on an errand, to pick up the big guys grandchildren. It was important, truth was, the old guy had forgotten his grandchildren and as the next best thing to a bodyguard, Melvin was sent to retrieve the creatures. This whole thing had the vampire ready to retch, but it was a way to fit into the humans world without causing more stir than was necessary. He worked for his clan, his clan was hired by the human garbage and his clan leader had agreed to the disgraceful offer, all for the MONEY.
Perhaps Melvin was still too young, even at one hundred and six years old; to understand why things were done the way they were. But he certainly wasn’t dumb enough to question power, not really, all his needs were being met, what could he complain for? It was good pay, he had fun doing it, and the being immortal thing was a pretty good perk as well. So the only downfall was his place in the Clan, he could deal with it most days.
Today, ‘though, was not really one of those days. Before this little adventure, Melvin had been babysitting someone else, the new guy, a fledgling of their kind and he was supposed to keep track of the punk. So while he sped along, little jitter bug sat passenger, twitching away like a fucking dog in the passenger seat of his owners car on the way to the vet. Jesus fuck. Of course he’d have to take the other with him, that’s how things worked, the youngest of the Clan trained the fledglings, no matter who it was that had done the changing. It was a fucked up rule and according to everyone else it was good for character building. In other words, it was the shit job and someone had to do it.
“Will you cut that shit out?” Melvin snipped, shooting a glance at the twitching moron sitting next to him. “You’re starting to piss me off.” The tall blonde didn’t do well with nervous idiots, people got HURT when things got real and a nervous person was around. He turned a corner and the fledgling muttered his pathetic apology, shrinking down into his seat. As they eased further down the street Melvin slowed down, finally turning one more corner before pulling up soundly in front of the school. Almost immediately the new fuck perked up, hissing as a couple of kids walked past the vehicle.
With a low growl Melvin reached over and snatched the man, getting a good fist full of the other’s clothing, hauling him closer. “You listen to me, you little fuck, if anything goes wrong, you step a toe out of this car or even unfasten your fucking seat belt and I will send you back to the shadows of death faster than you’d even be able to hunt a human down, do you understand me?” The other vampire whimpered and shook his head in a wave of panic before Melvin shoved away from him, pulling the keys out of the ignition and opening the drivers side door “Good. I’ll be back.”
Stepping out of the vehicle Melvin straightened his suit jacket, buttoning it back up some and brushing off his sleeve as if there was something on it after having touched the other vampire. After jogging up a couple stairs he locked the car, although it would not really contain the fledgling, it did seal his threat as did the glance he threw over his shoulder before heading into the school. The place was drenched in the scent of humans it was almost overbearing, it certainly would have been for the rookie in the car, Melvin could see the prick going crazy in a moment’s notice so he had to hurry to control the fucker.
Coming up a hall Melvin could tell he was close, the scent of humans got stronger, fresher, so he continued on before noticing the sign to the office. With a quicker step the tall blonde pulled open the door, putting on his most charming smile for whomever was on the other side of the door, speaking first before he’d even made out the features of those inside. “Apologies, I am here to pick up Charlie and Rachel Lorenzo.”
