Sphinx CHAPTER XXVIII
Cassandra cuddles up into John’s arms, his body has no warmth since he is an undead but it matters not. She is warm enough for both of them. She gets out of the bed and finds a shirt in John’s closet. She looks at her man sleeping and goes to give him a peck. His cheek is as hard as a brick. She goes to the kitchen to fix herself a glass of water. She drinks the water halfway and stops, she notices something wrong. Something feels off about John’s apartment tonight, so she sniffs into the air as she tries to get the scent of any strange presence. She drops the glass on the counter and bends down to hide behind the kitchen table. Something strange is here, but she has to be sure. She takes a deep breath and exhales; she concentrates so her sharp ears can pick up on any footstep around the house. There is one. No, several footsteps around the house and she knows for a fact that none of John’s neighbors would be coming to the house by this time of the night. The only reasonab

87th Street, Roosevelt. Warren parks on the side of the road, close to an abandoned building, “This is the place,” he says, trying his best to hold in his anger for the smashed window. Marcel rubs his hand against his hair, “You are quite the suspicious man, aren’t you?”, Marcel’s blue eyes assess the young man like a jaguar stalking its prey. “Who are you?” Warrens asks, “Shut up. We aren’t here for chit-chat” Gabriel says, sounding like the guardian of two troublesome kids. They step out of the black Honda civic and walk towards the building. The streets are dark and void of any living creature. A cold breeze blows briefly, kissing behind Gabriel’s ears like a lover while his mind is focused on the annihilation of the Assassin sisters. Gabriel hears no heartbeat, no footsteps but he perceives the smell of blood and the rotten smell of carcass creating a vivid atmosphere of death. They enter the building, “What is that fucking smell?” Warren complains as he raises a hand over

5 Years Ago. Samuel walks around a park to dodge the company of John and Elma, not because he finds them troublesome but so they would not interfere with his plan. The human fool Gabriel has taken under his wing will turn out to be a useful piece. Somehow he has gained Count Dracula’s trust but Samuel does not trust him. To be able to gain Dracula’s trust is not something any human can just do. Besides, if immortality is what Frank McQueen wants then Dracula is better equipped for that. So, why Gabriel? Why does Frank McQueen want Gabriel to grant him immortality? Since he has found Dracula, why doesn’t he give them his location? Even the vampires that secretly work for Dracula do not know his location but Frank found it. He even found them.
