The Immortal's Pet

Mansitting?

It was different. Darker, dirtier, stuffy and the scent if blood and urine lingered in the air. I heard Eve gag beside me and I couldn’t help but chuckle. For a hundred and fifty year old vampire she was quite human.

“It stinks in here!” She exclaimed in disgust as her eyes took in the secret cells. Her nose scrunched up and she groaned in annoyance. “I can’t believe such a filthy place exists in the S.S.C.P”

Tony stayed silent and continued to walk forward, walking deeper into the darkness that was now beginning to feel like an abyss. This place was very identical to the dungeon I was used to but if you ask me I would say it is the dilapidated and old fashioned version of it.

There were cells on each sides and those cells were so dark that we could hardly see if anyone was in it but for some reason I could feel their presence. In these cells were the worst if the worst, the ones who didn’t even deserve to see the light of day because of how bad the crime they committed was.

Oh how exciting!

I fought the urge to clap my hand like a child and jump up an down. This the exact type of excitement I have been searching for, for so long.

Tony suddenly stopped in his tracks and then turned around to look at me. “His cell is the final one on the right” he handed me the keys that were in his hands. I didn’t even notice he was holding them till I saw it in his hands.

“You are both assigned to help him get accustomed to modern life and make sure he learns every rule. Don’t think of it as babysitting, Cullen Inber is a very special case and his knowledge is also very important to the S.S.C.P”

“What knowledge?” Eve asks, Tony’s expression shifts and then he looks away from my face...as usual.

“That is classified” both Eve and I share a look and we both knew that we were thinking exactly the same thing.

“Cullen Inber is a very peculiar person, we can’t just leave him roaming on the streets after his release because we do not want history repeating itself...so we have chosen our best special agents and put them on the case” Tony says, his lips twitch when he noticed the satisfied look on Eve’s face because of what he had just said.

“Best...” Eve laughs while wiggling her eyebrows at me. I shake my head and smile.

“So we are babysitting him so he doesn’t kill half a country again...”

Tony groans “Trust me, when you see the vampire we are speaking of, I assure you, you would stop using the word ‘babysitting’”

Eve rolled her eyes “Lets just get this over with…you’re always trying to be suspenseful”

“How long do we have to do this…vampire sitting thing?” I ask Tony enjoying the way his eyes kept avoiding mine, he reminded me of one of my shareholders, Mr. Jones, the one who gifted me the sports car. He always blushes around me and can never really look me in the eyes whenever he wants to say something to me.

“Three months” Tony said and I could almost hear Moonlight’s scolding in my ears telling me that my body is falling apart and that I need to rest for a very long time.

“Th…three what?” Eve’s eyes almost bulged out of their sockets, I guess I am not the only one who has made plans that are about to be thrown into the mud.

“Three months Eve, do you both have a problem with that?”

Even if we did, we do not really have a choice considering the fact that we signed that stupid life binding contract and now we are both under obligation to accept any mission given to us no matter how stupid or time consuming or plans destroying it may be.

“Nope not at all” I say before walking forward and then stopping in front of the cell that Tony spoke of. As expected it was dark I could not see a thing but then bright red hair appeared in front of me and blocked my view. I moved to the side or rather I walked back a few steps, Eve looked angry and it seemed like she was about to go into full b***h mode because whatever plans she had has been destroyed.

That might not be a very good idea considering the person that was supposedly behind those iron bars.

“Hey you!”

Oh Lord…Eve was going to get herself killed.

“Hey! Come out, let’s get this done and over with”

Then there was movement in the cell, I heard my breath and then nearly choked at the sight in front of me. The first thought that came to mind was…

Holy s**t! He’s huge.

He walked to the front of his cell where the meager lights that were on the ceiling could shine on his skin and show…sweet mother of overgrown chickens…he was a specimen.

Blood red eyes, long hair that reached his shoulders, his full pink lips curled into a smirk and his olive skin shone with sweat or was it water?

I could tell that Eve was momentarily dazed as well by what she saw…I mean, which woman would see a shirtless Vampire who was at least 6ft 5 or 6 in height and no, his body wasn’t just toned…heavens he was buff, his arms, his chest and then that eight pack…I finally understood why Tony said we wouldn’t be using the word babysitting any longer…

Fuck!

This was unexpected.

His eyes were on Eve, he still had that smirk on his face as he looked at her, Eve cleared her throat, probably snapping out of her reverie. He raised her head, to show her authority…the same way she acts with everyone at the S.S.C.P.

“You will be coming with us” she says. The vampire narrows his eyes and then he sticks a long finger through the large space in the cell rods.

He curled it twice, the veins from his wrists popping out as he gestured Eve forward.

She walked to him.

I don’t think that is a good idea...I wanted to say it out loud, I really did but I think just like Eve, I was compelled by the sight in front of me...the excitement was slowly overwhelming me.

Eve walked forward, her head still held high, just when she was about to open her mouth to speak, the rest of his fingers showed themselves and wrapped around Eve’s neck...restricting her breathing and lifting her feet off the ground.
