October 20, 2001“Are you going to be able to pass by later on?” said Frank, while on the phone with Coralis.He stood on the back porch of his mother’s apartment. His sister Stephanie had just arrived, with Sebastian, and they were still waiting for his brother Raymond. They wanted to do something for their mother’s birthday, without their extended family, so the siblings agreed to meet at her apartment for lunch.“I don’t know. I’m still in Winnipeg with Eva, I’ll call you before I leave, but I really have no idea when this meeting will end. I’m not even supposed to be here, but for some reason, elders here are requesting my presence at this meeting. For how long are you going to be at your mom’s?”Coralis stood by a payphone in the middle of a shopping plaza. Eva was next to her. She was still refusing to use her hologram in satellite phone mode to call Frank, to make sure that none of her elders could ever intercept her calls to him. It was lunchtime, so they decided to go to a hu

December 28, 2001“…and it is another victory from our beloved Northerners!! Are they going to win the Silver Cup this season…”The flyball game against Argentina just ended, and Coralis headed back to the locker room with her teammates. Their coach met with them there for a little briefing. As Coralis and Sebastian were about to leave to meet with Frank and Stephanie for drinks, their coach intercepted them.“I know neither of you ever addressed rumours, but just so I know how to answer journalists… is there anything between the two of you?”Coralis and Sebastian looked at each other and started laughing.“And why would they think that he and I are together?” said Coralis, after a minute. “Last time I paid attention to rumours, people still thought that Princess Veronica and I had the hots for each other.”“Uh, well people see you two talking often to each other on the side and leaving the field together, so people are wondering.”Their coach Mylo knew that she was seeing a human.

February 2, 2002Coralis was having lunch in the mezzanine of The Bloody Velvet, with Princess Veronica, Prince Hendrick and Eva.“Something doesn’t make sense. We all know King Matthew never got along with his brother Lucas, and we suspect Lucas of working with goblins. However, I don’t get why the EBEE is asking me to inquire about the Vase of Crimson Sky, instead of investigating the potential of a war, like the CMMA is tasking Eva to do. If Lucas is after it, I should be helping you to keep it out of his hands, not just inquire about it.”“If you don’t mind me asking, why would anyone care about that vase? I’m assuming it’s not just some antic decor?” said Eva.“If we’re to believe what our father told us about it, it’s a family heirloom. It creates born vampires and fortifies bloodlines. He didn’t elaborate, but from my understanding, it allows us to procreate and is basically at the root of our bloodline,” said Prince Hendrick.Coralis and Eva looked at each other.“I think you

February 9, 2002Coralis sat at the back of a taxi, on her way to Frank’s dorm. Mark, his roommate, wasn’t going to be home all night, so they agreed to meet at his place, where they would just be the two of them. She thought about the vase’s replica she created the previous week for the Chicago royal vampire family and hoped it would work as intended. She was confident that it would kill its user instead of granting powers but wanted its curse to extend to wherever the user’s essence could be found, with a different effect.She hadn’t seen Frank the entire week. When she was finally able to leave Chicago, after finishing the vase’s replica in the morning, she had to fly to Winnipeg with Eva for a meeting. After that, she spent the week between South America, for flyball games, and London, for EBEE affairs.The entire week, she’d been debating within herself if she should break up with Frank, or go through revealing herself to him. She knew he wanted her to let him in, but she never c

February 10, 2002The next day, Frank met his mother and sister at a restaurant they like going to for brunch on Sundays.“How is Coralis? Heard she’d been seriously injured last night,” said Stephanie.“I don’t know, didn’t talk to her today. I saw her last night. She was okay, didn’t have any injuries, but then had to leave in the middle of our date. I think she tried to call later on, I know she tried this morning, but I didn’t pick up. I am still a little bit upset that she left when it was supposed to be our time.”“What time was it when she left?”“What did you hear? Did she get injured? How bad?” asked Molly to Stephanie.“Hmm middle evening I’d say, was before 10,” said Frank.“You moron, shit happened after that. I was also called in to work last night, for an emergency. I heard her name mentioned a lot by patients. One of my bosses witnessed the whole ordeal. If your girl wouldn’t have shown up when she did, trust me, we would have had to treat a lot more patients than we did

February 15, 2002Frank couldn’t focus on his school project. He didn’t like that she didn’t call him back when he knew she was supposed to be with his sister. He pulled his phone out of his pocket and called his sister. Stephanie was busy preparing a pitcher of sangria, so she put him on speakerphone.“Is Coralis with you?”“No, she left a few minutes ago for Chicago. You do know that you are an idiot, right?”“I know that… that’s also why I wanted to talk to her. I paged her, but she didn’t call me back.”“Bro, I’m serious. Do you have any idea how dangerous her work is? She didn’t talk much about your fight, but with everything going on at her work, she now thinks it’d be better to break up with you, and that is if she makes it back alive.”“Wait, what do you mean by making it back alive? What did she say?”“Sebastian made her spill her instructions. They work in the same field, remember?”“Coralis is one of the best agents in our field. Technically, she’s only an intern, but her b

February 16, 2002 - noonShe arrived on the flyball field just in time. The game against Pakistan was scheduled for 18:00, but they had some practice time before it.“Spill. Did you talk to him? Did you make a decision?” said Sebastian as soon as he saw her.Coralis looked around to make sure no one would overhear them talk.“I stopped by his place before coming here but didn’t have much time to talk. If I don’t get called to go to Chicago right after the game, I’ll go see him and, well, I’ll reveal myself to him. I have to.”“Good call, I think he can handle it. What made you decide that, instead of ending things with him?”“He wants to move off campus. He thinks that I should come home to him, so we’d see each other more. Honestly, I like the idea of coming home to him, he got me at that, but there is no way I can do that if he doesn’t know what I am at the very least. Considering that I have a phone book thick of enemies, well, he also needs to know about what he’d be signing up fo

February 16, 2002 – 22:45As soon as she was back up in the sky, she called on Sebastian’s hologram.“I was literally about to call yours, assuming you also had to take off to Chicago. Want me to drop Stephanie off at Frank’s with a mute-ball? How did it go?”“Pager went off right after I got to the point of telling him that I was a mage and so was Vic, but couldn’t elaborate on the non-human aspect of myself. Hell, I totally forgot to mute his room. I honestly don’t know what he’s thinking right now, he looked like he was in disbelief, but I think he was about to freak out.”“All right, I’ll take Stephanie to his place. I will not repeat to anyone that you didn’t mute his paper-thin walls before getting started and will thank the gods that I never had to be in your shoes.”“Don’t worry about my brother freaking out, he’ll get around, I’m sure. If not, I’ll make sure to remind him for the rest of his life what he’s missing out on.”“Please don’t. I mean, thanks for talking to him, but

July 20, 2003Despite going to bed in the middle of the night following the celebrations of winning the Silver Cup, once again, Coralis woke up early. She hoped she wouldn’t get called by the EBEE to go on a case. She knew Frank would be working all day, so she agreed to meet with Panjik and Sonylla for training.Frank woke up while she was still busy making breakfast.“Morning luv!” he said while standing behind her kissing her neck with his hands on her waist.“Morning!” she said, turning her head to kiss him back on the mouth. “Breakfast is almost ready.”“Still wanna go train today? With the workload you’ve had for the past few months, I’d think you deserve a break,” said Frank as he filled his mug with coffee.Frank sat on a stool by the kitchen island.“Yes, I need to. Panjik wants to help me train my spirit magic and give additional fire magic training to Sonylla, and I won’t pass on that. I was supposed to go to London for hand combat and weapon training with the EBEE… but I’l

June 8, 2003 – 16:45They chuckled as they got deeper into the forest. The scent trail led them to a clearing and a hunter’s cabin at the back of it.They saw five goblins playing cards outside of the cabin. Coralis, Veronica and Eva stood behind the tree line and watched the goblins for a minute.“If the vampires involved don’t have a daylight bracelet, they won’t stick their nose outside. We each kill one goblin, tie up the other two and we then go into the cabin,” said Veronica.They bumped each other’s fists and walked toward the goblins. As soon as they saw the trio approaching, the goblins stood up, accidentally reversing the card table.Without stopping nor saying a word, Coralis and Veronica unsheathed their swords and Eva pulled out her knife. The goblins walked toward them.“What are you doing here? You aren’t supposed to be here,” said one of them.The women quickly beheaded three of his companions and Veronica got behind him, grabbed his wrists and pushed him down. Coralis

June 8, 2003 – 14:00“Lucas! That smells like him,” said Trisha.“Nah, that has an EBEE stench,” said Eva, sniffing the air. “Only Blue has officially been sent here. The smell purge probably was just in case I’d be here, but I agree with her, this looks like a setup. In the middle of a human town like that, either they want to force her to expose herself to humans to solve the case… or they hope to be able to take her out alone when she searches for the missing people.”“Last year, some elders at the EBEE worked with Lucas to take down my family, but they failed. I think the setup isn’t just against Blue, it’s also to expose us. Why else would they leave corpses drained of blood for humans to find?” said Veronica.“All right, so we will solve this case the old-fashioned way and talk in code between us when town folks are around,” said Coralis, her hand on the door handle. “Here is what we will do. We will go next door to confirm our theory, and then we check on the corpses. We will d

June 8, 2003 – 11:00Coralis hovered above the rooftop of Eva’s apartment building. Because of her line of work, Eva didn’t want to live on any pack lands, to prevent endangering innocent pack members if one of her enemies decided to seek out revenge against her.Given their long list of enemies, Coralis had her building warded recently, to prevent any elementals from entering Eva’s building, except for her very short list of trusted ones. She also warded it to allow Eva to go in and out of her apartment using portals to and from her rooftop, without any human seeing anyone mysteriously appearing and disappearing from it.“I hate portals, but I think I’m going to start using that method when coming home covered in blood,” said Coralis as Eva sat behind her.“Are we still meeting with Princess Veronica in a small town near Chicago called Clear Valley?”“Yes, Alfredino sent me there. I called Veronica right after I ended my call with him. No one in her family called the EBEE and she sai

April 26, 2003After her flyball game in France, she stopped at her London flat. She hadn’t been there for a month and Henry told her she had a pile of mail waiting for her.“Hey sis, it feels like forever since we haven’t seen each other, yet you still live here, technically,” said Erik.“True, last time I stopped here for the night, you weren’t there.”“Ah yes, we were playing in Asia. Are you still working in Scotland?”“Not at the moment. This past month I’ve been working more in the United States, but I’m being sent to just about everywhere for consulting works lately.”“That explains why you’ve been getting a lot of mail from EBEE,” said Henry.“While I’m here, I should also collect my stash of uncashed checks.”“Speaking of the United States, we got a tip regarding Fart in the Sea, somewhere in Florida. You in?” said Gus.“If I don’t have to be across the planet when you’re going there, count me in.”Coralis had a drink with them and took off toward Montreal. She arrived at her

March 10, 2003Coralis got back home in the middle of the night. They considered installing a pet door on their kitchen window. Their back door didn’t have a screen door. The window did have a screened layer, but it wasn’t the time of the year to leave the windows open and they didn’t want squirrels to come in during summertime. It would look suspicious if only Cheetah could pass through a pet door, so they decided against it.Once again, she had a lot of blood on herself, but her winter coat was clean. She was hoping that no one would notice the blood on her face as she crossed the street and was thankful that Frank chose an apartment located across the street from the park.She took a shower to get the blood off her skin and crawled into bed next to Frank. He turned to bring her closer to him.“Hey luv!” he said in a sleepy voice, as she passed her left arm around his chest. “How was your night?”“Long and weird. Elf against pixies, goblins and djinns in the mix. We were 6 agents an

December 24, 2002 – 21:35“There is a lot of truth to that, I think,” said Coralis.“What about your bloodlines? You two are pure-blooded, right?” said Lizzy.“Yes, we are. Mine originates from the Roman goddess Salacia, we’re water mages. We’re close to our god and although most of my family lives in an elemental realm… somewhere underground… we never agreed to the radical ideology that wants us to rule over humans. We believe we should guide and protect, not rule and enslave.”Sebastian removed his vest and rolled up the short sleeve of his shirt to reveal what looked like a small tattoo behind his left shoulder, a pattern symbolizing his family goddess.“When we reach maturity, usually a few years after graduation, but depends on bloodline and, well, life events,” continued Sebastian while putting his vest back on, “we get the mark of our family god. It appears on our skin overnight or gradually, depending on the bloodline.”“Oh, so we could potentially be in danger from your kind?

December 24, 2002 – 21:00“Uh, right, sure. I admit I’m not fully knowledgeable about human marriage rituals, I mean, ceremonies, except from what I saw in the movies I watched with Stephanie. I’ve had classes on human society at school so we can blend in better, but the teacher didn’t elaborate on the marriage part. Coralis might have to teach me about it,”“Nah, my past among humans taught me about divorce, I’m not a reference there.”“Right, so. Yes, we view mates as soulmates and unlike humans, we don’t do divorce. For us, when we decide to take a mate, it’s a forever thing and the ritual ensures that. However, I will also point out that when it comes to mixed couples, I mean, when an elemental takes a non-elemental mate, or spouse, we may or may not do the full ritual, it depends on the couple and uh, the non-elemental partner,” said Sebastian.“Why does it differ, is it because it involved a certain amount of magic?” said Frank, his arm still around Coralis’s shoulder.“Partiall

December 24, 2002 – 19:10“BRO!” said Stephanie and Frank at the same time.They all stopped eating.“Why would we?” said Coralis.“Humans aren’t our enemies, I don’t see why we would kill you all just because we could,” said Sebastian.“I’m not trying to offend anyone, but I can’t help myself from wondering if you’re all into a fake bubble, feeling safe when you aren’t, although I can hear myself thinking clearly, so I don’t know. I’m confused about all of this. Coralis, if you grew up in orphanages, shouldn’t you hate us all? Unless you didn’t.”“BRO! That’s enough!” said Frank, then looked at Coralis, “Luv, you don’t have to answer him.”“It’s fine,” she said while massaging his thigh to reassure him. “It’s a legit concern, especially considering the current heated climate among elemental clans and other supernatural. There are a lot of clans and factions out there that want me to hate humans enough to turn against them.”“But you would never, I know you would never, right? Neither
