Obsession of Dracula

This Could Be a Problem

Chapter 14

(This Could Be a Problem)

Parker’s point of view

When the meeting had first begun I had paid close attention and given ideas. Now, eight  hours later, what had begun as a joint venture to kill the creature that had kidnapped my girl seemed to be turning into a quest for dominance between the leaders of the various groups of slayers. I rolled my eyes and getting up I walked over to a window in the church tower and looked outside.

What had started out as a sunny morning, had now turned into a rainy afternoon. Rain fell from the sky drenching those walking in the courtyard below. I couldn’t help but sigh as I ignored the arguing behind me. My eyes looked in the direction of the count’s castle and thoughts of Katie entered my mind. I knew he hadn’t turned her yet but I couldn’t help but be concerned he might have forced himself on her. I’d heard about the leers Katie had been given by the creature. Trent had even told me they’d been just in time to stop him when we’d gotten her in England.

I rubbed a hand through my blonde curly hair. Not being able to do anything was wearing on me. My mind and heart screamed for me to stop wasting time and go after her. Common sense, however, is the only thing that stopped me.

“Will you still want her if he’s had her?” I looked to see a woman with jet black hair looking at me. Actually she was leering at me; I ignored it.

“She’s mine,” Is all I said and stepped away from the slayer from Jordan. The only woman I wanted was Katie.

“She doesn’t have to know,” She said suddenly before me. Her hand rubbed over the outside of my shirt over my abs.

“I only want Katie.” I practically threw her hand away from me and walked back over by Monica and Memphis.

“Careful around that one,” Hana told me as I joined her, Monica, and Memphis. “Badia is a good slayer but she’s also known for stealing men.”

“That doesn’t surprise me,” Monica said and crossed her arms.  Memphis gave me a slightly uncomfortable look and I had to look away so his girl didn’t see me smile. Something told me the Arabic woman just might have hit on Memphis. I looked back to see a glaring Monica. ‘Damn it!’ I lowered my head in apology. Monica rolled her eyes and looked away. If she was being normal, I was now forgiven.

Memphis Point of view

With the meeting getting too heated it was decided a break was needed. I left the tower and headed down stairs and into the sanctuary. Monica was still mad at me even though I had nothing to do with Badia hitting on me. I walked along the hallway. With the church closed we didn’t need to be as careful about where we were.

Something caught my attention out of the corner of my left eye and I stopped. I walked back to the window and looked out. A man was walking away.  Although I couldn’t be completely sure, everything in me told me it was Sedrick. ‘Shit!’ I silently cursed. If it was Sedrick, the count would know we were here. Then again he might only know about the other slayers. Either way we could be in trouble. I’d have to let everyone know. Quickly I headed back toward the tower. I needed to let Dennis know first.
