PART II: Chapter 47

"What the fuck are you doing here?" Kira questioned Damien impatiently as soon as he walked into her room. 

She dropped the few clothes she had in her hands on the bed quickly and turned to face him directly with her arms folded across her chest. 

"I came here to talk to you Kira," Damien replied, maintaining a calm look on his face. 

Kira immediately rolled her eyes. Dhe believed that the only reason he came here was to talk about what had happened between them a few nights ago and probably tell her what she already knew and she wasn't ready to feel even more embarrassed than she already was so she had no intention of listening to him. 

If he really wanted to say anything positive to her, he would have definitely come to her the night after what happened between them happened or rather, he would have shown the very next morning to speak to her but instead, he went over to Sheila first and now he was coming over to her to probably tell her that what happened between them was a mistake and she was not ready to hear that from him cause that would only make her even more upset, disgusted and disappointed. 

"What could you possibly want to say to me Damien? Is there really anything else to say cause I don't think so," she said to him, visibly uninterested in whatever it is he had to say to her and immediately going back to folding her clothes. 

As much as she didn't want to hear him talk about what had happened between them, she also decided it would be better for her to just give him a listening ear just in case she was jumping into conclusions and what he had to say had absolutely nothing to do with what had happened. 

"I actually came here to talk about a few things but I'm not too sure on which one I should begin with but I think I should start with the one I feel is less complicated...," he was saying but an impatient Kira quickly chimed in. 

"Do me a favour Damian and just get to whatever brought you here cause I don't have all day to listen to you making up your mind on what to start with," Kira hissed, visibly irritated with him. 

Damien wasn't really expecting her reaction and it kind of bothered him that she looked so nonchalant and irritated by him but he decided to just shrug it off and get to what brought in here.

"So concerning the vampires, something actually came to mind and I've been bothered by it for a while now," Damien began.

"I thought about it for a while and it actually occurred to me that these vampires are not that different from us. Aside the fact that they have the ability to heal much faster than we do and maybe the fact that they are pretty fast and difficult to detect, I don't see any other difference between us just yet at least from the little I know about them," 

"So I've been thinking of this all through yesterday and then I came to realize that what actually makes them different is they are more dangerous is the fact that they're actually determined to kill everyone of us at least from what we've seen so far and that's what's bothering me. For all we know, these so-called vampires or whatever have probably been existing for a really long time now and we've never heard of them coming at us in all this while so what I'm bothered about is the sudden reason why they want to kill everyone of our kind, like what could be the reason behind their plotting? Cause I strongly believe there's more to this," Damien said, voicing out his conclusion. 

"So what exactly is it you're trying to say Damien? Be clear," Kira demanded. 

"I'm not really trying to say anything too serious. I'm just pointing out the fact that it's weird that they're coming after us all of a sudden and I think something may have triggered their sudden hatred for us and what that is is what I'm curious about but then again, I get that's not very important at the moment but it just occurred to me and I decided to share," Damien explained and Kira sighed. 

"Is there something else you have to say?" she asked, noticing that he still looked like he had more to say. 

"Yes actually there's something else I want to point out and it's the fact that I really think we have a spy amongst us and I'm suspecting that the person is from my pack. I know it might sound absurd and all but I really think there is someone giving out our information and the person had to be from my side," he stated. 

Kira furrowed her brows. "How are you so sure?" she asked. 

 "It's not that I'm sure or anything but I tried thinking through it and to be honest I doubt that whoever the spy is is someone from your pack because we haven't been in your space for too long so he certainly has to be someone from my pack. My confusion now is, why are they suddenly attacking your pack and no longer attacking mine and which pack will they decide to attack next? These thoughts have been running through my mind and I'm also very curious to know how they intend to wipe each and every one of us out because I'm very certain that they have something up their sleeves and I don't think it's something that we can simply guess," Damien explained. 

Kira sighed tiredly. She knew that Damien was making a lot of sense but she still felt frustrated with the entire situation and at this point, she was just getting fed up. 

  "To be honest with you Damien, I honestly don't know what to do at this point or what to think anymore cause I'm so lost and confused. I know for a fact that this is something I can't give up on which is why I'm still trying to figure things out but it's getting way too complicated and tiring for me and I'm honestly just frustrated," Kira confessed tiredly as she sat on her bed with her head hanging low. 

In the last couple of days, she has been trying to come up with solutions and ideas that will help them get to the bottom of all of this but nothing has been coming to mind and even when something popped up, it eventually does not make any sense to her and all of these thoughts are just starting to frustrate her at this point because she doesn't know what else to do and she feels like she can't give up on it because thousands of lives depend on her decision. 

She tried putting herself in her father's shoes to think of what he would have done in her place but it did not work as nothing came to mind and the fear of failure was all she could think of. 

Damian noticed the worried look on her face and decided to move closer to her. He took her hands in his gently and even when she tried pushing his hands off his, he made sure to hold on to her hands very tightly so she wouldn't be able to let go. 

"Look at me Kira," he said to her but she quickly refused. 

"Just look at me Kira," he demanded and this time she did look at him.

For some weird reason, as soon as he laid his eyes on her, he could tell what was going through her mind and he knew that he had to say something to calm her down and encourage her. 

"I know all of this is tiring but I can assure you that everything will be fine eventually. If you're afraid of him failing to do what you believe you have to do, then be rest assured that if it won't happen Kira because you're not the type to fail, especially not after you've set your mind on something," he said, squeezing her hands a little. 

Kira's eyes welled with tears. "It's not just the fact that I'm scared of failing, it's also the fact that I'm scared of making a wrong decision that could cost so many people their lives and the thought alone is...," she stuttered nervously and Damien quickly stopped her from talking so she doesn't end up crying even more. 

"Relax yourself Kira," he said.

"You really need to calm yourself Kira and stop thinking that you can't make the right decisions because that is not true. Have you even met you? You are one of the smartest people I have ever met and this is me being completely honest with you and I doubt that someone like you would ever make a wrong decision that will end up putting anyone in danger. So please, stop thinking that you're going to make mistakes or do something wrong because I am certain that will never happen. You can do this Kira and that is why I have so much admiration and respect for you as a person," he said to her and he meant every word he had said. 

Kira suddenly felt shivers down her spine. Her lips parted slightly as she looked into his eyes before she quickly snapped out of it. He was talking about his respect for her and yet, he had gone to meet another woman the very next morning after he had been with her. 

She removed her hands from his and instinctively, she pushed him as hard as she could so he could fall and as she hoped for, he fell backwards with his butt hitting the floor hard. 

"Fuck! What was that for?" Damien asked perplexed and Kira simply stared back at him with a proud look on her face.
