10. Flight
1033 Words
Friday morning we're getting ready to go.
"Hurry the hell up, we have to be out of here in 5 minutes Victor."
"I'm ready asshole, I was making sure I had my passport. We going straight to the airport?"
"No, I'm not paying 3 months worth of parking fees to the airport. We're leaving the car at moms' and calling an Uber from there.
Clark's going to meet us at the airport." I shut the apartment door. "I really hope V Movers doesn't stand me up."
"I went and checked my place they came and got it all. It'll be fine man."
"I forgot, we should feed before we leave. I'm not sure how long the flight is."
"Yea don't think the pilot would like it to much if we killed him." Victor laughs getting in the car. "But it would make for an interesting flight."
"I'll stop by a park on the way. I doubt if mom's neighbors would like it if you ate any more of their family pets."
"Now why the f**k you gotta bring that up?"
"Sorry, couldn't help myself."
Victor shakes his head.
We get to the airport and meet Clark right on time. Airport security is a breeze.
I scratch my head. "I bet they have them hypnotized. Airports are never this easy to get through."
"Yea probably." Clark nods. "I am so f*****g tired. I want to get on the plane and go to sleep already. You guys nervous?"
"A little bit, but mostly excited." I grab my ticket and hand it to the boarding lady.
Victor and Clark both show their tickets on their phones. She points and we head down the long walkway.
I sense another vampire before I see her. She turns around and looks right at us then comes over.
Clark can't even help himself, "Wow, you are the sexiest woman I have ever seen."
"We're ALL sexy, it's part of the allure. I'm Annabelle. Is this the first year of studies for you guys?"
"Yeah, we're all new." Victor spits out while staring at her boobs.
"I can tell." she winks at him.
"I'm Alden, this is my brother Victor and our friend Clark. How long have you been going to the school?"
"This will be my third year. I can sense a couple more already." She smiles at me, "don't worry, if there's more than 10 students on this flight the school guard will be here as well. They don't mess around with student safety."
"That's good to know."
"Oh, there's a couple of my friends. It was nice meeting you guys. I'm sure we'll see each other again soon."
"Nice to meet you too." I smile as she takes off running backwards down the walkway.
"If they're all that sexy, we're in trouble." Victor thinks out loud while staring at her ass.
I can't help but laugh as I get on the plane. "Yeah, you're probably right."
The plane ride is quite boring. Any time anyone tries to introduce themselves to anyone else, the school guard is right there to say, "No standing in the walkways." And the school guard is plentiful. I counted at least 10. They are really making sure nothing happens on this flight. Nothing at all.
"Good afternoon everyone. This is the captain speaking. We will be landing in about 10 minutes. I was asked to make an announcement for some of our guests. If you are going to the Undeparted Towers, you will take exit 3 out of the airport and get on the bus."
Victor puts his phone in his pocket, "Well, that's us." He smacks Clark. "Wake the f**k up."
Clark jumps up and yells, "What?" Then he sits back down. "What the f**k was that for asshole?"
One of the guards turns around and gives us a dirty look.
"We're getting ready to land, sit down and buckle up." I tell them. The guard stares at me then turns back around.
After we land, all 15 of the students that were on the flight are following the school guard through the airport to the exit. The school guard is really easy to find because they are dressed in full black suits with red ties. Complete with black overcoats and red fedoras. There are about 5 of them leading our group, 2 on each side and 1 in the back. The students however, have a wide range of outfits. Some look like they are about to go to the gym, others are in jeans. Clark, Victor and I are all in black pants with button-down shirts. 4 of the girls are in dresses with heals and 1 guy just looks homeless.
I glance around and notice there are quite a few guards in the airport. It's not only the ones that were on our flight and some are wearing different colors.
A man in a green fedora goes up to one of the guards that is close to me and I hear part of their conversation, "How was the flight?"
"Uneventful."
"Great, but the Kings Police are outside."
I see the guard that was on the plane make a hand signal to the guards on the other side of our group. Then he runs up to the guards at the front.
As we get closer to the exit, more guards are joining us. Now there are about 20 in front. I hear Annabelle say, "just keep your head down and go directly to the bus, don't worry." to a young woman who is shaking.
As we exit the airport, the bus is parked about 30 feet from the door. On the left are the Kings Police. About 20 of them. They are yelling and saying they need to see everyone's paperwork. I attempt to take a quick glance at them and notice they have full-length red cloaks. They are holding a black flag with a gold and red design on it.
The guards that are in the front of our group go straight towards the police. "We have everything you need." I hear one of them say.
The rest of the guards with us tell us to get on the bus now.
