The first preparations for a fight against Elyssa

The first preparations for a fight against Elyssa

Veronica said to Edward, ‘’ Our date, we can do it, if I have Elyssa for the first

Stopped. ’’

Edward looked at her and said hopefully, ‘’ All right, but I want to help you.

I want to get **** on Elyssa for what she did to Scott. ’

Veronica gave him a very first look at him and said, ‘’ You don’t have to help me.

We vampires are much too strong for you, and I'm so scared of losing you to her.

Unfortunately, your colleague at the dock is no longer there to help. So far, I haven't been able to get a **** back from her, and I've been fighting Elyssa for over 150 years.

Have already done research with captured slaves of hers to no avail. ’’

Edward dropped his jaw when he heard the 150 years, he asked with trembling lips: ‘’ If I haven't misheard you mean you have fought for over 150 years.

How old are you I thought you were around 25 years old.

In any case, you look like 25 years. ’

Veronica had to laugh and replied, ‘’ Oh Edward, when I was 25 years old, it was over 300 years ago. I just turned 330 years old on the day of arrival.

My vampire blood does not make me age, this is one of the benefits of being a vampire. ’

Edward choked and looked at her: ’Then the date on the painting was something, I never saw a mistake by the painter when you arrived?’ ’

Veronica now looked a bit sad, apparently Edward had mentioned something negative from her past, but she replied: `` You recognized that, I had this photo drawn by me, on the 70th day of my father's ****, he was unfortunately betrayed at the time from false friends of his. He was hanged in public. Because the church had brought many false facts against him and many alleged friends of his had made false statements. Unfortunately, we would have to flee Ireland for a good 60 years. He saved us before they could catch us. But that was many years ago, to be precise, a good 250 years ago. My mother and I have brought down anyone who made false statements against my father. Sometimes I still find it difficult to talk about it.

One day, I'll tell you the whole story about it. ’

Edward understood why she looked so sad when he brought up the painting.

There was a knock on the door and they both jumped together.

‘’ You'd better hide Veronica in the next room, I'll have a look.

Whoever knocks on my door there, ’’ said Edward

‘’ All right, Edward. ’’ Returned Veronica

Now there is another knock three times on the door.

Edward walked quietly to the door and looked out the window through a small crack

Carter was at the door and Edward let him in.

Edward immediately asked: ’Hey Carter, what's new from work?’

Carter looked around the room: "Does the little sleep let you have conversations yourself?"

Edward laughed and replied ’Oh, Carter, I was talking to the Countess.

Veronica you can come to us, it's just Carter. ’

Veronica came up to the two of them and said, "Edward had already told me everything about your act of saving me. Thank you, Carter, for keeping a cool head in stressful situations. ’

Carter blushed and said, very embarrassed, "Thank you, Countess."

Veronica said very modestly: ’You don’t have to ask me about my title.

You can do me like Edward. Calling Veronica and as your best friend told you.

You can also enter my villa. ’’

Now Carter's face went red all over, and he said where he had lost a bit of drool from his mouth: "Thank you, Veronica." We did what, we thought, was right. ’’

To get rid of the red head, Carter suddenly changed the subject.

‘’ Oh Edward, what do you mean, it's Just Carter. You should have said yes, Carter is the big one there. ’At that sentence, Carter had to resist laughing.

All three of them suddenly started laughing.

Edward asked again, "Did Scott get to work? Or did you find out anything new? ’’

Carter replied, "No, Scott didn't show up for work today and I haven't got anything new to report."

Carter looked around to see Veronica's right shoulder.

He noticed that there was no more wound to be seen there.

So, he asked Veronica: ’Veronica where is the wound where the arrow hit you?

I had the wound sewn up, didn't I? ’’

Veronica said: ’I owe this to my vampire abilities. When fully aware of my head. My blood heals such injuries in an hour. It must not be poisoned.

Since I am actually residing against all poisons and diseases anyway. Except for the fraction watch. Where I created one against poison.

Carter looked at her with a smile and said with full enthusiasm, ‘’ The sound is kind of very cool. Then you are invincible like a warship. ’’

Veronica was amazed practising Carter's last sentence and said, : ’Then you will get along well with Charlotte. She always makes such comparisons with vampires and earthen weapons. You are welcome to get to know her if you want. ’’

Edward realized that Carter was now in danger of fainting.

Carter had never met a woman who was as well versed on the subject as he was.

Carter said, "I'd love to. Where can I meet you? ’’

Veronica replied: ‘’ In my villa. You are welcome to come and visit her today. ’’

Carter was about to run to the mansion when Veronica said, ‘’ Wait, Carter. You can ride with me in the carriage right away. Edward You can help act against Elyssa.

We were right there with my carriage that comes to pick me up.

I will discuss everything there, how we proceed against her. ’’

Now Edward started beaming too and he thanked Veronica.

Before there was another knock on the door, Veronica felt that the carriage was there.

She said: ’Are you finished. Our carriage is here. ’’

Edward and Carter said like one piece: ’Yes, we’re Veronica, and thank you for taking us with you.’

Veronica said, ‘’ Not for it, you saved me. Then I can do something for you.

I have already told the others that you will come with me.

They will greet you very friendly, and you can fill your belly full.

A feast is waiting for you. ’’

Both turned red around that face.

Edward thought just a few days ago that he would have no chance with such a pretty countess.

Now he and Carter get into a pretty countess's carriage.

Who is also redhead and has a special connection.

An elderly gentleman put them both in the countess's carriage.

Edward had never been in a carriage like this before.

It was for him to go out from the eyes of Carter, for the first time too.

The feeling of sitting in this carriage was difficult to describe in words.

The outside of the carriage was black and white with some paintings and engravings in the wood.

Inside was the carriage with the finest leather covers, which like the rest of the inside, where the walls were clad with the finest fabrics, in a strong red.

The carriage was moving now, Edward and Carter's tingling sensations.

Both were curious how the villa of Veronica looked like.

Veronica could see the thought that the two of them were excited.

How the villa looked like from her and the joy of driving in a luxurious carriage.

Veronica said to increase the tension of both:: ’I hope you are hungry? The cook from my villa went to great lengths for you. ’’

Carter, who must have been startled, asked: ’I hope the question doesn't bother me?

But do you a vampires also eat normal clothes like we do or do you just drink blood? ’’

Veronica laughed and said, ’Oh Carter, your question isn’t annoying. I think it's okay if you ask something like that. We vampires eat normal things like you do. Our blood thirst is another need. What we have to breastfeed at least once or twice a week. But you can do without drinking blood for up to 6 months. But the longer it has been since the last blood meal.

The weaker our forces and the body become. I hope I could answer your question? ’’

Carter who apparently had to take a few seconds to reply: ‘’ Thank you very much for your detailed answer. Sometimes I'm afraid to ask the wrong thing.

There are also people who think there are stupid questions. ’’

Veronica looked at him with a friendly smile and Edward lost some drool from his mouth at the great sight of the Countess.

She replied, ’Oh Carter, there are no stupid questions to ask. A Man's curiosity should never be taken one way. It is the most valuable thing of man besides character.

What do you mean what I asked my parents when I was little!

Sometimes they rolled their eyes. But that kept me going.

If you ask a lot, you keep expanding your wealth of knowledge, and you are never too old.

To improve one's knowledge or to expand it much more. With me in the villa you can ask any other vampire anything you want. They'll give you an understandable answer.

That's what I raised them for. ’’

Carter and Edward also applauded.

Edward said, ’Those views say so much about your great character.

You have such a beautiful way that you take my shyness away from me.

This is just great, thank you very much. ’

Veronica went red around her cheeks and Carter said, ‘’ I really can't add anything to that and believe me Edward is really incredibly shy, actually. Thank you very much from me again. For the insights into your character. ’’

Veronica was now a noticeable redder around the cheeks.

She replied: ‘’ I’ll get all red around my cheeks. I don't get that much praise from people who know that I'm a vampire. But that's always how my character is.

Unfortunately, there are many advantages over vampires. My vampires and I only bite people whose thoughts and actions are so dark. Like the darkest black there is.

We vampires can hear people's thoughts too.

We immediately recognize when a person only has bad thoughts.

Vampires like Elyssa bite anything that isn't in the trees before three.

Many people do what they do best.

Shear all vampires with the same brush. I don't blame everyone if someone sets my house on fire as an example. Just because someone does something didn't mean that everyone else is like that too. ’

Edward looked now in a different light, he now knew that Veronica will be the woman.

Who he wants to marry, her character is just as beautiful as her appearance.

Edward's face went red all of a sudden when he noticed Veronica smiling at him.

He could tell from the look on her face that Veronica could just hear his thoughts.

She sat down right taking him in the carriage and Carter went to her seat.

Veronica whispered in his ear: ’’ You’re adorable. Not only that you're always red when I smile at you. Your thoughts are so positive except when I passed out.

Sometimes you still worry about it. Personally, I think it's so great how scared you were about me. I wonder if you hadn't really got to know me yet.

The connection between you and me can hardly be explained in words.

I feel your unbelievable positive warmth emanating from you.

As soon as we've stopped Elyssa for now. Will we have our date!

I can't wait, but we have to stop you first. ’

At this sentence Edward tears of joy came.

The carriage had now arrived at the villa and Veronica gave Edward a gentle kiss on the cheek.

Edward said inside, himself ’He will never wash that cheek again.’ ’

Her soft lips were the most beautiful feeling in his life so far.

The driver helped Veronica out of the carriage, then Carter and Edward left the carriage.

All three walked him into the villa.

Carter and Edward both looked pretty good at what was in the mansion.

A young woman with blonde streaked hair, an oval, elongated head and a slim figure and a pretty face greeted the Veronica: ‘’ Master you are fortunate enough.

I was so worried. ’’

Veronica replied, ’Hey Charlotte, I'm fine, these gentlemen saved me.

You have the right to enter the villa at any time. You can stay in one of our guest rooms. We'll eat right away, then we'll discuss everything with the two men. How we proceed against Elyssa and her people also have a lot of news. ’

Charlotte smiled and said, ’It's time to stop Elyssa. We, or much more of you, have been fighting each other for over 150 years. Then I say hello to our heroes. ’’

She turned to Carter and Edward and hugged them both and said, "Thank you very much for that." Saved our Master. You both always owe him my fault for that. ’

Carter looked at her and asked, quite embarrassed: The Countess said to me. You are familiar with ships, weapons, cannons and all other things related to this topic, is that correct? ’’

‘’ Yes, that's right, I've served on a British warship for over 40 years.

I learned everything there, including things that are not in books.

The practical experience is a lot more valuable than the theoretical experience. ’’

Carter looked at him with a beaming smile that Edward had never seen before.

He said: ’That’s something really great. I never thought of meeting someone else who was familiar with the subject like me. Then you can tell me if it's a cannonball.

Can sink a medium-sized brig? ’’

Charlotte laughed very friendly and replied: ‘’ Of course not. I know he alleged sailor's book, What You Can Buy Anywhere, Is It In It. I found out that this man had never boarded a ship. It took us at least five to nine bullets to sink without using a mortar. With a mortar, you could do it four to six. But there you have to have good cannon shooters. I can speak from experience there, after all, I have many French, Ottoman empires and other countries. Those who dared to point the cannons at English ships sunk.

There were already very many of them. I can't give you an exact number, I stopped numbers after 120. ’’

Carter couldn't believe that at first he felt stupid about his subject.

He thought it was so great, the feeling where Carter always thought he had a wealth of knowledge on these topics, but this was just the tip of the iceberg.

Veronica called for dinner and Carter and Edward were now famished.

Both sit at the table with all the other vampires.

They were overwhelmed by the number of vampires, there were 11 of them.

Everyone seemed to be quite nice.

All the other vampires also thanked Carter and Edward for saving Veronica.

They promised to come and help them if they got into trouble in the evening.

The food smelled excellent and there was something for every type of taste.

Edward was very elegant in front of Veronica to eat and not to smack her lips.

It seemed that Carter intended to do the same for a good impression on Charlotte.

At the window you could see that it was starting to rain.

Veronica tapped her glass with her spoon and said roundly: ‘’ You all already know it. These two men saved my life, and I thank them for that,

Edward and Carter you can sleep in our guest room as often as you like. You are allowed to wash and dress you should suit you.

My carriage will also drive you to work on time tomorrow. ’’

Carter and Edward thanked Veronica again

When everyone had finished eating, everyone went into the fireplace room.

Where there was a cosy atmosphere

When the last person was seated, Veronica started to speak: ‘’ So guys, we have to talk about how we can stop Elyssa? There is also news that is not good for us.

Elyssa has teamed up with Fractional Teeth Watch or, much more so, these are their new slaves, like their colleague. I wanted to rush to his aid.

Unfortunately, this had only been a trap of Elyssa. The Scott had already been her ****.

Then I have such a strange feeling. That Elyssa is planning something where she wants to turn people into her slaves without lifting her finger. But of course, I don't know if this is just my gut feeling or if this is absolute nonsense. How do we want to proceed? ’’

Edward answered and said, ‘’ I would be for being trapped like you.

One of our traps beckons. Preferably with a bait where Elyssa just has to take a bite. ’’

Charlotte said: ’This is an excellent idea, it’s only missing small, fine touches.

It would of course not be bad if you smuggled a spy into her.

He could inform us of her on all events.

This, of course, is a very dangerous task. The risk of getting caught by Elyssa is pretty high one day. Then it's stupid because of her spit that immediately enslaved you.

There you would have to try to find a remedy that you are immune to this.

That's where we should find out where you are hiding here in London.

Maybe you can find a book with her that tells you how to do something about her spit.

This is also a difficult and dangerous task. ’

Veronica spoke up: ‘’ I can do this. Of my strength, I am the only one who can take on Elyssa in an emergency. I just need to know where their headquarters are located. ’

Edward spoke up again: ‘’ I can help with that. Carter and I are friendly with the guards. They can tell me where a recently large house was rented for Elyssa. We could know this at lunch break. ’’

Veronica replies: ‘’ Excellent, but you have to ask for the name Black Apple too.

That was her nickname when we were friends. ’’

"We're doing well, then I want to accompany you to her tomorrow." Edward said back

Veronica looked at him and said, ’Well, only on one condition, you really have to do everything I say. If I say hide, are you hiding all right? ’’

Edward replied, ’Yes, Veronica, I'll do that then. Will do whatever you say. ’’

Veronica then said: ’Well, it should be enough for now, it’s almost 2 am by now, you’ve got to lay down Edward and Carter. I'll show you where you sleep and where you can wash and get dressed. ’

Both replied: ’All right, Veronica.’

She showed the two of them their room and washroom.

They both said goodbye to Veronica and went to showers, changed their clothes and then went to bed.

What was so convenient that both almost fell asleep.

Edward wanted to ask Carter something else, he probably had Charlotte on his mind the whole time, just like him.

When he saw the painting by Veronica.

Exhaustion won and they both fell asleep peacefully.
