'Again this dream' Tang Yi wake up frowning. His face is paler than usual, he looked at the calendar that place on the side table of the bed. It's been 24days that he gone into Somnolent* longer than previous one. Tang Yi got up from the bed and went to the bathroom and look into the mirror. The pale muscular body in front of the mirror covered with scars, some are very old, some are new. He touch the most visible scar that he got 24 days ago. It's not that deep and it's healed properly. He stared at the mirror for a minute then went in the shower.
* [SOMNOLENT- the time when vampire fell in deep sleep for many reasons]
After done showering Tang Yi saw a tall figure, white skin man sitting on the living room sofa, though Tang Yi didn't saw the man's face Because his face was covered by the magazine he was reading but Tang Yi recognizes him quickly it's his doctor and his best friend Michael.
'When did you come' asked Tang Yi
Michael put down the magazine besides him and take a look at Tang Yi 'when did you wake up? Is your body ok? If we went there a minute late you would have been gone into Somnolent for a long time you know that right? Why the hell did you go there by yourself, are you fucking crazy? You should visit the Elder as soon as possible he has been asking for you, I can't make excuse for you anymore and I brought some blood with me please just drink it or next time you will not wake up and... '
'Okay Okay, stop now, I understand' Tang Yi stopped Michael half way, 'I know what I have to do'.
Michael looked at Tang Yi and sigh.
'Let's go, I'll drop you off at your hospital then I'll go to office' Tang Yi said wearing his blue suit.
'Drink the blood first, or your condition will get worse' Michael said holding the blood pack in front of Tang Yi.
'I will later' Tang Yi took the blood pack and store it in the storage with other blood pack.
Michael just nod his head like he gave up on Tang Yi.
Tang Yi dropped Michael at his hospital and drove to the office.
Tang Yi entered a tall building with glass wall, when he passed reception the receptionist greet him 'Good Morning, President. How's your business trip?' Tang Yi give give her short answer with a cold voice 'hmm, Good' then walked to the elevator.
He reached his office and saw his secretary Diana. She is one of few that Tang Yi trust.
'Welcome back sir, how's your business trip?'
Tang Yi just give her a annoying cold look. 'Im am asking as your secretary, please don't give me that look'.
'Hmm, how's the situation here?' He sat on his chair as he asked.
'Everything is good. We have a new project coming up, and we are currently looking for new photographar for shoot. The contract with Li Zi De coming to and end this month. He is making a fuss over this as usual and trying to meet you, I told him that you are on a business trip so he is calm now, but once he found out you are back he is going to bother you so be prepared.' Diana said in a breath and hand over pile of files, 'check these and sign it by today'.
Tang Yi looked at the files and then looked at Diana and sigh.
'Here's your drink' Diana place a coffee cup in front of Tang Yi filled with blood.
'I don't need it,did Michael told you to do this, I told him I'll drink it later' Tang Yi said in a cold voice.
'YES YOU DO TANG YI' Diana said in a cold voice. Diana is the only one who can talk to him in this tone.
Tang Yi don't waste any more time and drank the blood in one go, 'Happy now?' He placed the cup with a loud noise.
'Yes sir, now please go back to your work, I'll be at my table please call me if you need anything'
Diana took the cup and walked through the door.
He took out his phone and dialed a number the caller pick up the phone after 2rings.
'Hello, it's me. How have you been?'
'Tang Yi, it's been a while, you finally called I thought you forgot about me, you did not call for a while I'm hurt'.
'I heard you called for me, when can we meet?'
'Hehehe straight forward as always, today at 8 our usual place, I'll be waiting for you'
'Yes'
The caller hang up, Tang Yi called Diana and told her to clear his evening.
Tang Yi's car stopped at a fancy restaurant he entered the restaurant and the receptionist took him to the top floor.
Tang Yi entered a dim lighting room he saw a man in his 50s with a pony tail wearing a black suit sitting on a chair a glass of blood in his hand and a warm smile in his lips.
'Welcome my boy, how are you? Come and have a drink'
'No thank you' He said while sitting across the man.
'You are still not taking blood properly I guess'
'Why did you call me?'
'Oh!! You are so cold to me, I feel so Happy every time I saw you, that's why I called you here in my favorite restaurant.'
'Why did you call me here? we can't even eat'
'It's because I can find lots of delicious prey here and I took home some of them' the man said grinning.
'Why did you call me?' Tang Yi asked
The man crossed his hand in his chest and said in a serious voice 'you are not allowed to take part in any upcoming Hunt.'
'What? Why? I'm completely alright.. '
'Tang Yi, this is not a discussion this is an order from the head of the organization. I hope you respect my decision. And this is a temporary thing how about you take care of your company's upcoming project in meantime.'
'Fine'
'Good boy, then let's have some meal before going'
'No thank you, I am going' He left the room with a annoying expression.
'This fellow torturing himself way too much' the man sigh and take a sip from his glass.
Tang Yi leave the restaurant in a very bad mood he was walking to the parking lot suddenly he heard a car crashing sound. He ran towards the sound and saw a car crashed into the parking wall and the man in the car covered with blood. A group of boys came running towards the car and trying to rescue the man but they can't open the car door, seeing the situation Tang Yi approached them and told them to move aside. He broke the car window with a punch and rescue the man. He told them to called the ambulance.
Suddenly Tang Yi smelled a very familiar smell. He looked everywhere to find out the source of the smell the smell that he smelling first time in decades.
'Sir... Sir' I came back to my sense after a young boy called me.
'Oh I'm sorry, what happened to the man?' I asked him
'Oh we just send him to the hospital. Thank you for your help, if u did not come at the right time we don't know what would happen' the boy told me
'Oh it's nothing, then I'll be off' I told the boy and get back to my car and I take a look at the empty parking lot before driving away.
It's been 1week since I smell that particular smell I know I am wrong that smell can't be there but I can't get it out of my mind.
'Sir here's the new photographer's profile and some of his work' Diana's voice pulled me back to reality she handed me a file.
I opened the file and the photographer's name is Drake and he has 5yrs photography experience with many fashion brand, his work is really impressive but what attract me the most is a picture of a landscape, it's like I used to know that place I've been there but I can't remember where it is..
'Sir, Sir.. '
'Oh yes'
'Are you okay? Do you not like the photographer?'
'Yeah I'm alright, I was just thinking something, and I like the pictures but where is his picture?' I asked
'He told us his picture is an unimportant thing, the most important thing is his work we should only focus on that if we like his work then he will come personally to show his face and he also don't like press taking his picture and all that so we have to respect his privacy' Diana said in a breath.
'Quite an arrogant' I frowned
'But he is best at his job as you can see in the picture if he joined our company for upcoming project it'll be great advantage of us, and as for your information the Li Wang group also trying to hire him so we have hurry and come up with a decision' Diana told me as in she telling me to stop thinking and give the job to this photographer.
'Ok fine, then set an appointment date' I told her
'It's tomorrow at 4pm in our office meeting room' Diana said
'What? So you actually knew I'll say yes' I said angrily
'Well let's say I know you won't do anything that will be bad for the company' Diana said in a monotone and left the room.
Tsk!! This loud music I really hate it, right now I'm in a pub with a glass of whiskey that I didn't drink and bunch of annoying people talking shit behind others people back and worst of all I have to sit here and listen to this bullshit and all thanks to my friend Michael. When I was about to leave my office he suddenly show up all dressed up and pretty much dragged me here.
'Stop making that face you are making it obvious that you hate being here' Michael whispered to me.
'Well I am, why the hell did you bring me here for anyway?' I asked him in a low voice.
'This is a way of making connection, here's everyone is quite powerful we might need them one day so endure it for a bit, and you should come out and socialize sometimes' Michael give me his annoying smile
I hate that smile. I don't understand why do I ever need humans help with anything, I don't care if I die on my next hunt so I don't think I need any kind of help from a human.
'I going to get some fresh air' I told Michael and leave the room.
I heard his shouting "come back fast" guess I don't have much choice. I went to the balcony of the second floor because the pub is on the first floor the second floor is private party rooms and so the second floor balcony is pretty much empty only couples and some people are here. I was standing at the edge of the balcony suddenly I smelled that familiar scent . I looked everywhere to find where's the smell coming from I saw a tall figure man standing at the other side of the balcony wearing a shirt and jeans long heirs reaching his shoulder, I can't see the man's face because he was facing the other way, before I know it my legs start walking towards the stranger . .
'Um, excuse me' I called the person
'Yes' the person said while turning to my direction, I can't believe my own eyes what I'm seeing right now.
This person he is alive no this can't true he died many years ago, then who is he.
'Hello!! Are you all right? ' the person asked me but I couldn't answer him I just started at him.
'Tang Yi there you are, I was searching for you everywhere, what are you doing here' Michael's voice make me came back to my senses and I looked at his direction.
'I was talking to Mr...' I looked at the person but he was gone
'Who are you talking about?' Michael asked
'He was here just a second ago' I was just talking to him.
I started to look for him everywhere at the balcony but it's like he vanished in thin air.
I don't know what MIchael and others said and how I got home all I thinked about that mysterios man.
'Dude you look awfully absent minded, are you really ok?' Michael asked me. I can feel his concern in his voice, but I can't tell him what made me this way yet.
'Go home for today, I have to worked' I changed the subject and go to my study, Michael followed me there
'You are so cruel Tang Yi, I helped you so many times but now you are telling me to get out at this hour what if something happened to me, will you take responsibility' Michael said in a dramatic way.
'You are so annoying get the hell out of here' I glared at him. He raised his hands up in the air as if he give up
'Ok Ok I'm going, have a very good night, ASSHOLE' Michael leave the room as soon as he finished talking with a goofy smile on his face.
SIGH!!!! I can't help but to release a sigh of relive.
