Lazarus

HERALD BREATHES LIKE a dying old smoker by the time we reach the wide street leading to the university. It’s completely deserted at night, but well-lit, and the bloody scratches on his head, face and arms are visible. They smell like fine wine, too, like an elixir of life that would still my burning thirst, but luckily I’ve trained myself to resist these cravings.

“The university, really, that’s where you’re taking us?” Herald asks, glancing behind, hunch-backed and bracing himself against the cool night. He’s still afraid someone might be following is, and I think that trauma will follow him for the rest of his life.

“Believe it or not, it’s the safest place.”

“Safe how? The Serpent Lord’s people know you work here, they’ll think to look.”

“Yes, but the university grounds are secured by Dracula’s people. Attacking the university or any place related to it would mean open war with Dracula. The Serpent Lord wouldn’t risk that, at least not yet.”

I tighten my arm around Irina, my lips hardening as I think of the reason she’s trembling like this. She’s a vampire, the cold can’t bother her, so it must be what that bastard got to do to her at the club before I arrived to save her. I hope to God he didn’t break her. No, no one can break Irina Motovilova, no one, I have to believe that.

The only place I can take them to is my office, because it’s from here that I can organize a dorm for us. It’s Saturday, and many students have gone home for the week-end, so we’re sure to get one if I ask the right people. I hate doing it, but it’s the only solution right now.

The university never really sleeps. There are students inside, scattered, working late on their rapidly approaching deadlines, exhausted eyes on notebook screens, energy drinks in hand. I see two of my students on the steps. I stop in place, looking around for alternate routes, but it’s too late. The two girls look up from their work and stare at us with big eyes.

“Professor Raica,” they greet.

They stare at us baffled, and who can blame them. Here is their professor, water dripping from his hair, his shirt clinging to his body, one arm around a woman who looks like a prostitute. And when Herald catches up, bracing himself against the cold and looking like a scared chicken that’s been plucked of all its feathers, one of the girls gasps and takes a hand to her mouth.

“My fiancée,” I blurt as we move past them. “And my father in law. Fire at his house, the extinguishers went off.”

I take Irina and Herald up the flight of stairs and down the hallway, ushering them inside my office, and locking the door. The news about Professor Raica having brought his soaking wet, leather and latex wearing fiancée at the office is going to raise quite a few questions on Monday, but I’ll deal with that when the time comes. Right now I hurry to get quilts and start the kettle.
