A (Mostly) Welcomed interruption

For hours You scoured that library, absolutely crushing any title, any page number, hardback, paperback it. did. not. matter.

You breezed through all of them, never could any mere mortal even perceive how quickly You were learning, growing in that dark dusty room.

However, all good things must eventually come to an end...

With superhuman ears did You hear the rapid descent towards your newly found crucible of knowledge, three of them, two men and a woman, their scents familiar and lucid "Here comes the cavalry to give me a good Talking too." You muttered, standing patiently as You waited to receive Your new guests.

Appearing suddenly in the doorway, came a goofy smile, a heavy Iron form and a dark-haired vixen, clothed tight black jeans and a leather coat.

Huginn and Hawkins had this look on their faces, this kind of weird satisfaction, Cleo, however, curled her lips in annoyance at her companions, strange, you could barely tell if that was Lipstick or type O?

"Holy Moley!" Huginn started, darting over to the table, stacked with the hundreds of books that You had been reading "You read All of these, In two hours!?" Huginn said, picking his jaw off the ground "Ummm, yeah, it's called Flicking right? the enhancement of Mental perception throughout all the senses." Cleo raised an eyebrow while Hawkins grinned darkly as he did before.

Hughie reached into his jacket pocket, brandishing the silver stopwatch, He muttered a couple of sums to himself, looking at the stack of books on the table once more and then made a face like a child who had just seen a mountain of Pop-tarts "What is it, Hughie?" Cleo asked curiously, the brown of her eyes zapping between the two of You. Huginn rubbed his shoulders, exaggerated amazement on his pale face "115 Books in 130 minutes...."

"Can You not Flick that fast?" You asked innocently, Cleo smirked, "No one in Gerix history has ever flicked that fast."

"You read the accounts of Kvasir, correct?" Hawkins spoke in his foreign tone taking a couple of steps towards You.

Your memory flickered to that very book, remembering Kvasir's words with clarity.

Vampires vary even in their categories, though the Law of Singularity (where all Vampires are distinct and unique) should always be kept in mind, Leeches, Blooded and even the fabled Nosferatu come in three kinds.

First is the Mystar: fast, agile and with a great talent for mesmerization. Then there are the Harkin: heavy, strong like juggernauts and finally are the Noctus: Vampire's who have a mixed ability, powerful, fast, cunning and with great control of the shadows.

"Hawkins the Harkin" You said with a proud smile, The Large Vampire only grinned deeper, "Master Corvus asks if You have an answer to his question, Nosferat?" These three were sent in response to Your quick deduction, they obviously didn't want You to know too much too fast... but as too why, You could only guess, though Corvus would confirm that for You soon, that much You had already decided.

"I will speak with Your Master, tomorrow, that's what we agreed, right??" You're not exactly sure where this stern attitude, inquisitiveness, and assertiveness was coming from, but You were gonna take Your time, touch every base.

Cleo's smile echoed that of her partner's, though her's was more than a feast for the eyes, The grace of her dark visage, it was remarkable, either Corvus had great "Taste" or Her transformation was just a thorough as Yours "Love?" Cleo beckoned, making Hawkins turn to look at her curiously "I am sure that our Master would like an update on the situation?"

Hawkins pushed back his Iron colored hair with his large hands before nodding quietly, giving, what you thought might have been a smile, "Î****ă nu intenționez să-ți plătesc datoria, Iubire." the lady whispered with a sneer, the strange smile had vanished from the incredible hulk's face, replaced by his usual hard indifference "Come, Crow." is all He said, clutching Huginn by the collar "Hey! wait." He cried in protest but Hawkins only pulled the much smaller man in close, his iron continuance twisting further into beast hood "I said, Come. Now." Huginn chuckled nervously "Ummm, see You later New-Blood" and just like that, they whizzed off, leaving only You and the dark viper that was Cleo.
