I WANT YOUR BLOOD
Raine followed her silently.1
The silence that stretched between them was so hard to be ignored. The interaction between them was no different to that of two strangers, there was no trace that could say they were friends, as if both of them knew what would happen next and that wasn't something that they were looking forward to.
It was ten o'clock and the building was only guarded by two security personnel that they met at the entrance. Almost all the lights had been turned off, leaving only a few to illuminate the corridors that they passed.
Apparently the building didn't have an elevator, thus they used the stairs to reach the terrace. This building seemed to be a small start- up company that specialized in advertising as Raine could see many banners and advertising posters along the walls.
But, Raine didn't have enough time think about it further as she had more important things on her mind.
She could feel her blood rushing in her veins and the anxiety grew along with the steps that she took, the corridors looked confusing and the light got dimmer as they walked further, venturing inside this building.
Raine neither asked anything nor did she show her fear in front of Sunny. She just walked along with her in silence.
Perhaps the mutual understanding also stretched out to Sunny. She knew that Raine was aware of what she did and it didn't help in her case, as she felt remorse for putting Raine in this kind of situation.
"We are almost here." Sunny murmured before they climbed the last set of staircase before they reached the rooftop.
Raine didn't answer her as she trained her focus on herself while her mind played hundreds of possibilities that could happen in a matter of a few minutes later.
Would she be able to see Torak directly? Or the devil's would ask her to do something before?
Raine was clueless, but she came prepared.
Once the door was opened, she could see four people inside standing leisurely and Raine had seen three of them.
Belphegor, Andromalius, a woman that she saw in her vision when she touched the witch in blue moon pack and another woman that she had never seen, wearing a tutu skirt. She looked almost angelic if Raine couldn't say she was an evil beauty.
The woman that Raine had seen in her vision has black lips and hair, she looked at Raine with a smirk on her devilish face and Raine felt there was something off with her, but she couldn't pin point what it was.
Meanwhile, Raine had only seen Andromalius once or twice in the past, but she was very sure that he was the devil who owned the territory in fulbright city.
Raine then shifted her gaze over to Belphegor, who had a face sculpted beautifully as his golden eyes complimented his skin perfectly.
"Raine, long time no see…" Belphegor sighed upon seeing Raine's figure that emerged from behind the door.
The woman with black hair threw Raine a lopsided smile that didn't reach her eyes as they were filled with malicious intent. Raine could feel it, the black haired woman had had put her interest on her since the first moment she laid her eyes on Raine.
Her tongue licked her black lips a couple of times as her eyes locked on Raine like a predator looking at its prey.
"Where is Torak?" Raine didn't want to spend the next few minutes or so for unnecessary pleasantries. She wanted them to get down to the business straight.
Raine's eyes hardened and her body tensed, as she took their gazes head on. And the black haired woman, compelled her to stare a little bit longer when their eyes met with each other.
A smirk on that woman's face told Raine that she was done for, without Torak who always protected her and without the bunch of Lycans that called her as their Luna, Raine was nothing except an easy target.
"You are very impatient, just like that Lycan…" the woman who wore the tutu skirt twirled a lock of her hair with her forefinger as she rested her head against Belphegor's upper arms.
"Where is he?" Raine asked sternly as she repeated her question, her voice was as cold and gloomy as the evening breeze. She fixed her eyes on the sloth.
"Want an honest answer?" He raised his eyebrows questioningly. "I don't know." He shrugged his shoulders while smiling.
Raine didn't respond to his honesty, she stayed quiet.
"But, I do have a clue about his whereabouts." Belphegor continued playfully.
Yet, Raine showed him that she wasn't there to amuse him and his crony. "Keep talking."
Andromalius laughed harder when he heard Raine's remark. "How bold!" He clapped his hands happily as he grinned widely at Raine. "I remember the first time I saw you. You are so timid and couldn't speak this loud." He reminisced.
"I don't have time to remember that." Raine stated coldly as she glowered at Belphegor. "So, what is the clue?"
Meanwhile, next to Raine, Sunny was at a loss about whatever they were talking about.
Did Mr. Reiz kidnap Torak Donovan? And Raine knew all of them?
Sunny knew this was a trap for Raine and she was very sure that Raine also had figured this out as a scheme on her, yet Sunny couldn't understand, why Raine wanted to walk straight without hesitation into this place?
Wasn't that the same as suicide?
If it wasn't for her family, Sunny wouldn't do something like this. She genuinely didn't know what Mr. Reiz had planned for Raine.
Sunny just hoped nothing bad would result from this weird meeting.
"I want to bargain." The woman in black hair finally talked, initiating another staring contest with Raine.
"I guess you will not ask for money, won't you?" Raine replied snidely.
The woman laughed eerily, even the wind that blew felt chiller on Raine's skin when she heard her shrill- like- laugh.
"You have a good sense of humor angel." That woman then fished out a small bottle from her pocket and flew it mid air as it moved on its own toward Raine. She was a witch. "I want your blood."
