Setting a Trap
I am ridding at a slow speed when I catch the glimpse of a rider coming at me. The man has brown hair and brown eyes he stops. "Are you Miss. Carlotta Victoria Morise?"
"Yes I am." I say stopping my horse.
"I have a message for you." He hands me an envelope. "You have a nice night Miss."
"Thank you." I say taking the envelope and watch him ride back off in the same direction he came from. I open the envelope and pull out the note:
‘Dear Carlotta
Please meet me in a town called Sweet Water Springs at a hotel named Bevlen. I cannot wait to see you. A room has been reserved for you in your name.
Andrew’
I smile I know where the town is I am actually headed in the right direction. "So what do you think we go see Andrew Midnight?"
The horse whines and snorts loudly in reply I laugh. "Then to Sweet Water Springs we go." I say, as we start moving again.
We reach Sweet Water Springs by morning I am ridding through the town getting strange looks from the towns people mostly because of the way I am dressed. I stop close to a store where an older gentle man is standing with a younger gentle man. The older gentle man has white hair and hazel eyes, the younger one has blonde hair and blue eyes. "I was hoping you two gentle men could help me I am looking for the Bevlen hotel. Could you point out where I might find it?"
"It is just half a mile out of town. Why would someone like you go there?" The younger man asks.
"What do you mean someone like me?" I ask.
"You are a woman but you are dressed like a man." The older man says.
“I am a vampire hunter. Wearing a dress in this kind of work would not work." I say dismounting I take my hat off allowing the wind to pick up my hair.
"Women cannot be hunters." I hear from the other side of Midnight. I quickly back up and find a man walking across the street he has long wavy brown hair and brown hair.
"Why not?" I ask.
"Women are not smart enough or strong enough." He says.
"Would you like to put your foot where your mouth is?" I ask smiling.
"You want to fight me." He says.
"Why not, right here right now." I say walking around Midnight the wind catches my cloak billowing it out showing my dagger and sword.
"This should be fun." The younger man says. "Hey Charles what do you think Hank or the girl?"
"Don’t look at me Jeffery I am not betting on this one." Charles says.
"What’s wrong Hank are you afraid a girl might beat you?" I say smiling.
"Lets do this." Hank says. I take off my cloak and drop it on to the ground I do the same with my sword and drop it on top of the cloak. Hank tries to rush me but I do a sweeping kick knocking him off of his feet quickly. After a few minuets Hank is sweating a breathing heavily. I quickly do two back flips and kick him. He falls on his back and I quickly jump him pulling my dagger.
"If you were a vampire you would be dead right now." I say just as a scream comes from the tavern. I quickly roll off of Hank who quickly gets to his feet and rushes for the tavern. I grab my cloak and sword and rush after him. I quickly climb the stairs and get to the room in question. Two prostitutes run from the room as I enter. The sweet metallic smell of blood is over whelming. The room looks as though it was torn to shreds blood is everywhere. Hank is standing over the bed. "Let me look." I say walking up to the bed. I quickly examine the girl two bite marks mare her neck, I quickly check her wrists they are clean. I quickly open her mouth and run my finger along her cheeks and pull out my finger with blood on it. "Fuck."
"What the hell is this?" Hank asks.
"Who was the last one with this girl last night?" I ask quickly.
"Some guy black hair and brown eyes very pale." He says.
"This girl was attacked she has also tasted his blood probably bite him in self-defense." I say examining her finger nails which have blood underneith them. "She did, she also scratched him." I pull out my dagger.
"What do you think you are doing?" Hank asks.
"My job. She was bitten and she tasted the blood of a vampire. She will rise and become one of them." I say.
"How could you be so sure?" Hank asks.
"I have been doing this since I was 6 that was 10 years ago. I was 6 years old when I killed my first 2 vampires." I say. "I think I am qualified to do this." I raise the dagger and quickly plunge it in to the girl’s heart. I draw my sword and quickly sever her head from her body. Hank turns his head. I pull the dagger out of her heart a small sucking noise can be heard. I quickly wipe both blades off with the sheets. "Bury her body burn her head." I turn and leave the room Hank follows after.
"How can you do that then walk away like that?" Hank asks.
"Because I have been doing this for so long it no longer bothers me. I did the same thing to my own parents. That was the hardest thing I ever did." I say turning to look at him. "I saw them die at the hands of these creatures and then had to make sure they would not rise themselves." I turn and leave the tavern.
"Wait. How do I pay you?" Hank asks following after me.
"What?" I ask turning to face him again.
"Pay you like money." He says.
"No one had ever asked me that before?" I say.
"Hey come in to town drinks are on me." He says.
"Alright I will hold you to that." I say throwing my cloak over Midnights back and mount him.
"Hey what’s your name?" He asks.
"Carlotta Victoria Morise but most just call me the Raven." I say. "You gentlemen have a good day. Lets go Midnight." I urge Midnight forward. We leave the town half a mile out of town a building can be seen I reach it and find a sign that reads Bevlen Hotel. I dismount and grab my stuff off Midnight’s back as a stable boy comes out for the horse. "Keep him saddled."
"Yes Miss." He says and leads Midnight away. I walk up the stairs and enter the hotel. I walk up to the front desk.
"I was told there would be a room here under my name Carlotta Victoria Morise." I tell the woman.
"Miss. Morise I was told you were coming I am pleased to meet you. I am Derek Bevlen." A gentle man with blond hair and blue eyes says walking up to me. He is dressed like a man from the east.
"Hello Mr. Bevlen. I am glad to be here. Has my friend checked in yet?" I ask.
"No not yet. We are expecting him tonight. Here let me take you to your room. He did tell me that you would need to rest when you arrive." Derek says taking my bag and leads me up the stairs. We walk down a long hallway. "This is our best room." He says stopping at a door and opens it for me. The room looks as if it were fit for a princess. The bed is dark mahogany with ivory bedding. There are two wardrobes both made of dark mahogany. A vanity with a mirror a slight breeze rustles the lace curtains.
"This room is beautiful." I say. "I was wondering if I could have a hot bath before I rest?"
"Right behind the screen I hope it is not to hot." Derek says.
"Trust me it wont be." I say.
"He said he would be here for dinner about 8:00." Derek says.
"Is there any place I can get a dress?" I ask.
"The wardrobe has what you need." Derek says pointing to one of the wardrobes. I walk up to it and open it. Inside there are a number of gowns all in dark green but in different fabrics. "There are other things in the dresser. The vanity has been equipped with anything you would need. If you require anything please just tell me?"
"Some food would be nice as well. Anything would be fine." I say.
"Of course. I will have a tray sent up to you." Derek says. "I will leave you to yourself."
"Thank you." I say and Derek leaves the room. I close the wardrobe and walk behind the screen and find a steaming bathtub. A knock comes to the door. "Come in." I say and a young woman comes in with a tray. She sets it up on a small table and then leaves. I sit down and eat warm food something that comes very rarely on the road as does a warm bath and a soft bed both of which I will be feeling today. I finish eating and quickly undress. I walk over to the vanity I am still wearing the choker around my neck I unclasp the ends and pull it off. The bite marks still reside where they always have since I was six years old marked till death by my sworn enemy. I walk behind the screen and sink in to the warm water, if it were hotter it would be perfect but this would do. My muscles instantly relax as I get in to the water I lean back against the back of the tub and close my eyes.
