Chapter Five
Helen looked at the clock when she heard the knock at the door. It was five a.m., almost sunrise. Pulling her robe back around her body, she stumbled out of bed well aware that she still smelled like sex. Who would be knocking at this time of morning?
“Who is it?” she called as she made her way to the front door.
“It’s me, Trinity. I need to see you.”
She released the locks and opened the door. “Jesus, what happened to you?” Trinity’s hair was out of place and her makeup had smeared down her porcelain face.
“I ran here.”
“You look like hell.”
“Thanks.” She managed a smile.
“Are you okay? What did you need to see me about?”
“Can we go inside?” Trinity looked around nervously.
“Yeah. I’m…yeah. Let me get dressed.”
“Don’t worry about it. I need a place to crash. Can I use your spare room?”
“Yes. You know you can.”
Trinity stepped into the apartment and made her way to the sofa. “I’m beat.”
“You said you needed to see me.”
Helen had only known the teen for six months but Trinity had been an invaluable source of information on Sebastian’s comings and goings. Beneath all the different colors of hair extensions and heavy eye makeup, Trinity was an angel in disguise, even if she was a vampire.
Helen joined Trinity on the sofa just as Constantine appeared in the living room. He stood there looking like a god with his long dark hair hanging down around his shoulders and his bare chest exposed.
“I didn’t know you had company. I’m sorry. I’ll go.” Trinity stood to leave.
“No. Stay. I’m Constantine.” He extended his hand to her.
“I’m Trinity. Constantine? Hey, like that Roman guy.”
“Yeah. You’ve heard of him?”
“My father was a history professor at the university. Before… Never mind. You don’t want to hear my sad story. You study history?” Helen could hear the break in Trinity’s voice at the mention of her father. He was a corrupt collegian who had been sucked into Sebastian’s world. He had handed his daughter over to them, granting her the gift of everlasting life when she was fifteen. That had been three years ago and her body had not aged, though her mind had.
“You could say that.” Constantine’s voice pulled Helen back into the present.
“You can trust him,” Helen said, knowing Trinity wasn’t sure if she should continue their conversation.
“You sure?”
“Yeah. He’s one of the good guys.”
“Okay,” Trinity conceded.
“You want to tell me what’s going on?”
“Sebastian is spreading his special kind of love, creating a new team of killers. They’re gonna try to take the stone.”
“Who are his targets?” Constantine asked.
“Some guys.” She shrugged.
“What are their names?” He continued.
“I don’t know. They sounded like your name. You know, foreign-type names. History names.”
“Like Attila?”
“Something like that. And Justin or something like that.”
“Justinian.” Constantine let the name slip out between tight lips.
“That’s it,” Trinity smiled. “Attila and Justinian.”
“Friends of yours?” Helen rolled her eyes.
“Actually, they are exactly who you think.”
“Great, so he’s creating an army of already powerful men. Each one of them has some sort of mystical item too, right?” Helen already knew his answer.
