Chapter 3 - Saeko the scientist

Estimated reading time: ±7 minutes

I open my eyes and stretch, I slept surprisingly well. I get up and take some clothes to get dressed, I take my brush and start brushing my hair. I don't know why, but I'm starting to think about Drake, I feel weird when I think about him. He is clearly not like the other men or women I have known before. I think a little bit about Sophia, I haven't seen her for two days and I can't wait to think about the taste of her blood. I finish brushing my hair and put my brush on my table. I approach my mini-fridge and lean over to take a blood bag.

I sit next to it and pull out my fangs before biting into the blood bag and drinking all the contents. With my years of experience as a vampire, I know where to bite to avoid causing too much damage and drink everything to the very last drop. I breathe a sigh of satisfaction when I finish with the bag. I put it in my trash and go to my window. I open my curtain and notice that it pouring rain. I sigh and go put on a jacket.

Saeko: Damn it, the roofs will be slippery again and there will be almost no one outside...

I close my jacket enough to leave a cleavage, just in case and put the hood on my head. I open my window and leave my house. I close my window well to prevent water from entering my apartment. I look down, no one in the street. Do I risk jumping or do I join the alley a little further to the right? The answer is simple. I bend my legs a little and jump on the roof. I go to the side of the alley, I see a cat passing by, I growl a little, I hate felines. I jump down and receive myself like a pro. I put my hood back on and start walking to Drake's hiding place thinking about him. I wonder what his ultimate goal is, how he wants to build his team, how long he has had his power. I see two guys who were at a bus shelter and smoking. I suddenly want to smoke too. I approach them and smile at them.

Saeko: Hi guys, don't you have an extra cigarette for me?
Right guy: Depends.
Saeko: Depends on what?
Right guy: If you'll give me your number so you can give me one the next time we see each other?

I'm smiling, maybe I could see him again, he's not bad and his blood, B negative, can taste good. I see a cigarette shaking in front of my eyes.

Left guy: Take it, turn it on and go.
Saeko: Wow! You don't have to be so tough, come on!
Left guy: He has a girlfriend and you're too good to get close to us, so either you're a whore, if not a nut.
Saeko: It's not good to judge people by their looks~ but hey, thanks for the smoke~

I turn it on and leave while I smoke a little. I knew they were watching me leave. I continue on my way to Drake's hiding place. I finally get there and look at the door. I knock and Drake opens the door.

Drake: Yo.
Saeko: Yo Drakounet~
Drake: Come on in.

I go in and take off my jacket. I see Drake is looking at me.

Saeko: Are you all right? Don't you watch too much? ~
Drake: Actually, I have something to tell you.
Saeko: Oh, yeah? Go ahead.

I come up smiling, Drake looks at me again.

Drake: I have a plan to recruit more people. I made a few comments and I heard that there are companies that have names of people who have powers a little like you and me.
Saeko: That's a rough assumption, there's nothing definite.
Drake: No matter how hard I try, I can't get in, there are sensors on all the doors and you need access cards.
Saeko: So you need my pretty face to get information and an access card, right?
Drake: Yeah, sort of.
Saeko: I have to steal the card from a guard or something?
Drake: A scientist, actually.
Saeko: She's cute, I hope?
Drake: Meh, she looks like you.
Saeko: You say I'm "meh"?
Drake: No, no, no! But hey, the point is, she looks like you enough to make it through with the guards.
Saeko: Well, well, how the hell do you want me to find the chick in question?
Drake: I know her address, but she doesn't really stay there, she spends most of her time at the bar after work.
Saeko: So we're going to go to the bar?

I hit him on the shoulder. He rubs his shoulder with a grin.

Drake: Ouch!
Saeko: That's for calling me "meh"!
Drake: Roh, I'm fine, sorry.

I smile and stretch.

Saeko: Can you put my jacket on to dry?
Drake: Yeah, okay, I'll take care of it.

He's going to take my jacket and I'm going to walk around the warehouse. I walk past one of the doors that Drake kept closed. I wonder if I should try to open it or not. Fuck it, I'm opening it. I put my hand on the handle and turn, I feel the mechanism breaking. I slowly open the door. I see several computers and smile.

Saeko: Ah well Drakounet is a big geek?

I smile and approach to see what's on the screens, there were plans of large buildings and several floors. There were several pictures of employees and I notice a girl with long blond hair and blue eyes and yeah, she looks like me enough for the guards to see nothing. I pull the chair and sit down to start searching on the computer. I hear Drake coming into the room.

Drake: What are you doing here?

I turn around and smile at him.

Saeko: I'm checking your plans, little Drakounet~
Drake: You don't have the right to be here, I have plans and you have to trust me.
Saeko: I'm curious so I'm sorry, and then she's not "meh" she's still cute.

I point to the picture of the woman in question and smile at Drake. Drake sighs and opens the door.

Drake: Go out and stop going through my stuff.
Saeko: It's okay, it's okay, if you want us to team up, you have to trust me too~
Drake: Yeah, come on, please come out.

I get up and walk towards him, I caress his shoulder a little as I walk by.

Saeko: That's because you ask nicely~

I observe his reaction a little bit, he doesn't really react, he doesn't seem to be angry that I managed to get in.

Saeko: Oh and you're going to have to change the lock, I broke it~
Drake: Yeah, you owe me one.

I leave the room and move a little my hips in the process.

Saeko: We'll see! I'm gonna find a room and relax a little before I go see the chick~ Drake: Okay.

I go to where Drake showed me the rooms and enter the first room I see. There is a bed, a wardrobe and a table with a chair, the minimum. I get the head out of the room and scream.

Saeko: If you go into the room to look at me, I'll drain you of your blood!

I see him approaching.

Drake: I'll put a label with your name on it if you want it to be your room.
Saeko: We'll see, but don't come in, I'm serious.
Drake: It's okay, close the door and do your stuff.

I close the door and put myself in my panties before lying in bed. I look at the time and stand on my stomach.

Saeko: I'm going to sleep for an hour or two.
