Sorry to Disturb You

As dawn broke, it was clear the sun had gone back into hiding. Today would be another drab day in Cardiff. Rain threatened but remained in the amassing clouds, so there was that to be thankful for, if little else.

We walked back to Stanley's street like two intruders, breaking the silence of the night. I opened the gate and we stepped up to his door. His car was gone. Maybe he had an early shift at the morgue, maybe he knew we were coming. I'd catch up with him later. I wanted to talk to the cat first anyway, and this way would be easier for all involved, mostly me.

My eyes snapped to black with the familiar sting as I called up the Empty. Silver sparks flew in my vision as I let energy flow down into my right forefinger. I put it to the lock and lumpy tendrils of magic swirled eagerly.

Click.

I turned the handle; the door opened.

"If you've forgotten your car keys again, I'll..." Govan trailed off as we walked into the crazy disco nightmare living room. I flicked on the lights. Govan was sat on the sofa watching early morning TV, eating a bowl of cereal. He dropped it in a panic and cornflakes and milk splashed all over the carpet as he got up to run.

"Don't think so, little man," said Plum as she crossed the room in three strong strides then picked him up by the scruff of the neck.

Govan shifted into his cat form and clawed hard at Plum's face, but she is no amateur and held him out and away. All he got was air. Plum hissed as she flashed to panther for a split second. Boy, did she look good as a panther. Nice tail. Bet it tickles.

When that didn't work, he tried to turn nasty. He snapped back to human form and gone was the rather bewildered looking teenager, hello Mr. Nasty. His upper lip curled back, his eyes went red and cruel, and his canines bared. Definitely a vampire.

"Guess maybe I didn't need your special skills to tell if he's a vampire or not after all. Even I can guess now," I said.

"Funny." Plum nodded at me and I nodded back.

Before Govan could get away, or bite, she threw him hard back onto the sofa. Then I showed him what I was made of, or a hint at least. My eyes turned from brown to black as onyx, silver sparks flashing and I saw his eyes widen as he noticed my tattoos squirm. As the power bit, I drew in a deep lungful of air while staring into his eyes, telling him of my mastery. He gasped for breath as dark matter tinged red seeped out of his body. Wisps of blood magic that came when called like an obedient pet.

"Tasty. I think I'll have some more." It's always a good idea to be dramatic at times like this. It freaks them out. The less resistance, the easier the job is.
