Chapter three

He had to quickly leave , he knew he was coming after him and if he actually captured him there was no where he could escape to . He had to immediately leave the country . 

He had already booked a flight but it seems fate wasn't on his side . His flight kept getting delayed .

 It had been raining heavily for two days now , so he decided to move permanently to the airport for the main time the flight would take off. He knew this would cause some issues but he would pull his connection. A little embarrassment was better than him dying. 

Now he was seriously regretting taking on that research. Even though his boss Dr Sidharth told him to drop the case , he refused . He thought the man was scared because Mr Alaric was a powerful man. He must have known the truth behind everything. 

Now Dr Sidharth was no longer picking his calls, he was clearly on his own now. If only he had listened ......

He had already packed his luggage and made a few phone calls , his friend worked in the airport , he was going to be sleeping in his room there. At least that was so much safer , Alaric would definitely not want to cause a scene , especially now that there were rumors that he wanted to start a new company. 

He was about to leave when he hit his leg against the table and fell down heavily. 

" This is a bad omen"

 He didn't really believe in omens but right now ,he didn't want to take any chances. 

" Or perhaps I shouldn't go to the airport anymore? But would Alaric actually cause a scene there ? ,It's better I stay in my house , after all he doesn't know where I live".

But then he thought about Alaric's connection and realized it won't take so long for Alaric to know where he lives. The airport is actually better because Alaric won't think of searching for him there. He finally decided to go to the airport.

Meanwhile..........

Alaric was in the car with Rodrigo , his trusted friend and vampire. He was many years older than Rodrigo. He was born two centuries after him but he had taken a very big liking to him ever since he was born. 

He had natural instincts like his father and knew Rodrigo would be someone who he could trust and he was right to hop on that instinct. 

Rodrigo had been his best friend ever since. People always thought they were gay and he allowed them entertain those thoughts because no matter how you clarify things with people , they would still believe what they want to . The only thing was anyone who directly confronted him about this would definitely pay for it.

He knew Dr Sam was planning to leave the country to escape from him. But due to the weather changes , he hadn't been able to leave, even if he could , he would have dragged him from wherever he went to . His connection wasn't limited to a country , it was worldwide.

 As a vampire who had been living for centuries, he made sure to build connections and fortunes in so many countries . Dr Sam was currently planning to go to Russia, he knew he would be at the airport because he would have guessed he would use his connection to find his home.

Besides he already had his men watching his home and they noticed him when he left for the airport.

" Rodrigo drive faster , before he hides where he wants to in the airport" he knew he wasn't taking a flight yet , but he didn't want to cause a scene at the airport. He arrived earlier than Dr Sam did. He waited for some minutes and saw Dr Sam pull up to the airport car pack. He went to meet him and smiled at him and whispered in his ear, "I'm sure we don't want to cause a scene , think about your reputation and mine ,I can easily destroy yours in a second so just follow me quietly" he wasn't just going to destroy his reputation,he was going to make him a meal but he didn't need to know that . 

Dr Sam wasn't sure what to do, if to consider his reputation or run. He heard Alaric was a very fast runner but since he was a real vampire he would be more than a fast runner, he would be the wind himself. He knew he couldn't run and he also knew he probably wasn't going to survive this. 

Other people who had crossed him in the past suddenly disappeared , he was sure they would have been killed . He decided to follow him quietly, possibly he could be lucky and be free . 

"Trust me , you made a very good decision" Alaric whispered to him with a smile . Anyone passing would believe they were having a normal conversation. 

They went to his car and drove off. Alaric planned to take him to his torture house . He had different houses for different reasons . 

This was a torture house because that was how it was designed . It had various rooms with various torture equipments . He also had a harvest room , although he had a house mainly for that purpose , he decided to build a room for harvesting in all houses just in case of any future use. His harvest room was full of equipments used to draw blood from humans . Their bloods were being drawn but at the same time they were fed supplements from another machine which would keep them alive.

It might be ruthless but it had many purposes , he didn't need to kill the people involved but rather he could put them on a slow and painful way to death. Also he had enough blood and didn't need to worry about food for a while.

They arrived at his torture house. He , Rodrigo and the doctor got down.

 "Don't worry Dr Sam, this won't take long , it actually depends on your cooperation" 

They all moved inside and all sat down. Alaric sat on his king size chair, Rodrigo stood behind him and Dr Sam sat in front of him.

" So tell me Dr do you mind telling me why you were making a research on me , was I so popular that you decided to bring em down by all means? Also it has come to my knowledge that you know my secret so you are now a threat to me". 

" Oh no , I can't be a threat to you at all , I'm very good at keeping my mouth shut. I don't say things I'm not meant to say or even pass my boundary".

"Are you sure about that Dr Sam? " He motioned to Rodrigo to test that ability. 

Rodrigo moved close to Dr Sam and asked him "What exactly is Mr Alaric?"

"Even though he's a vampire , no one would ever hear it from my mouth" Dr Sam was shivering in fear at this point. 

" But you just told me about him" 

" I thought....." Dr Sam looked to and fro the two men and suddenly realized he had been set up he wasn't supposed to mention Alaric was a vampire , any chance he had to surving this , he just blew it up. 

"Do you see now why I said you're a threat to me Dr Sam?" Alaric said with a sly smile on his face. " Do you mind telling me who put you up to this , because I don't want to believe you just woke up one morning and started suspecting me ." 

At this point Dr Sam knew he had to completely comply because they probably knew everything and wanted to hear it from his mouth.

 "Two years ago , a woman came to meet me with a picture of a man that looked exactly like you. I was shocked because this picture was taken in the early 1900s but this is 2025 ,so how could the same person still be the same ? I at first decided to ignore it but it kept bothering me . I decided to search around for more pictures and I saw some even as far back as 1850s . The problem was they all looked exactly like you. At first I thought it was probably your families, but the resemblance was to striking. So I started checking your family background and I noticed something. Your parents died when you were every little but no age was specified when they died . The same thing happened to your father and grandfather. Or rather your supposed grand father , he also died when your father was young. Then it occurred to me , you might have been playing father and son role!. But how you managed to remain the same puzzled me . So I started checking former researches it there was a drug that could maintain youthfulness. Then I came across an article on vampires. It was a very old article published in the middle 1900s but it didn't regain any publicity because the content was implausible. So many people disregarded it then . But some people who believed kept some copies and that was how I was able to get one. I found out vampires could live practically for Infinity. They were even more powered if they had a mate. But then , do you have a mate Mr Alaric? "
