Portstewart, Present Day

“I’ve read the Book of Days to Come,” Nicholl said. “I never noticed any gaps in it.”

“You’ve read a reprint. The Ministry’s had a copy for decades and they’ve translated it into English and never mentioned the gap in it because no one could ever prove there were any missing pages. It was a theory held by a lot of Ministry historians over the years that the writing didn’t flow in one section of the Book of Days to Come. They always believed there was a missing section.”

Nicholl was confused. “Wait. If this all happened back in the forties and the pages were given to the Ministry, why wasn’t our version of the Vampyre Corpora updated?”

Rek looked at his shoes briefly and then raised his head. “Because they never told HQ.”

“What? Why the hell not?”

“We don’t know why they didn’t share it back in the forties. The first we know is when Davis – that’s Davis junior, the man you and I knew – started working for the Ministry. His dad told him about the pages he had given to the Ministry and Davis got curious and dug them out. He studied them and then I guess they just got forgotten. Then, when the thing happened with Xavier and Zigatta-Kaaliz, it rang a bell and Davis dug them out again.”

“What exactly did happen to these vampires?” Nicholl asked.

“They turned back into humans.”

Chills ran up Nicholl’s spine. “They did what?”

“They turned human. No one could explain it. We had one of our doctors planted in the hospital and he examined both of them. They were human. Zigatta-Kaaliz, or Claire as she’s known now, was pregnant and nine months later she had a baby boy. We watched them for ten months after they got out of the hospital. They walked in the day, they ate at restaurants, they didn’t kill anyone. They really were human. Davis remembered about the pages as soon as she had the kid and then he did send them to Ministry Intelligence – after taking photocopies of course. MI said they would have the parchments dated and that we were to keep up the surveillance on them. We never heard anything more back from them.”

“Typical of Ministry Intelligence. Why didn’t you send copies to HQ as well?” Nicholl asked.

“Davis said HQ didn’t have much time for ancient writings and probably believed in prophecies even less. He thought if there was even a chance that it was true, it was worth taking. He said HQ would have Xavier and Claire incarcerated at least, and dissected at worst.”

“He was probably right. But what does it matter? What did this prophecy say? Do you still have the copies?”

Rek shook his head. “I don’t know where Davis kept them. He did make me memorize the important part, though.”

Nicholl’s face brightened. “Go on, then.”

Rek cleared his throat. “Book of Days to Come, Chapter nineteen, verses six to eight: And it will come to pass in those days that two will be released from the spell of night; a vampyre and his bride.
