Down At The Station

Down At The Station

(3rd Person POV)

*Under-City Police Station*

There was an eerie darkness covering small office. The office was as hot as a Californian summer day and the only audible noise was the soft rumble of the old, computer mainframe.

Velmaior loudly sighed, sweat rolling down his temples, and leaned back in his chair in frustration. He buried his face in his hands and let out a low, animal-like growl.

Knock! knock!

"Come in!!" Velmaior yelled, looking over his shoulder at the door. The door opened, revealing a woman. She looked to be about the age of 35. She had light blond hair that was fixed behind her ears and her eyes were a beautiful sky blue. She wore a very businesswoman like, dress suit. Her name was Catherine Shores. She and Velmaior were partners, but unlike Velmaior. She wasn't a vampire. She was a werewolf. As unlikely as their friendship may have seemed to most, they got along extremely well. Better than most human teams in the police force.

"What have you found on the murders?" Catherine asked, walking closer to Velmaior. "Well, from the evidence I gathered at the crime scene. These adults seemed to give sign no struggle before their death. I checked the medical report; there was no spike in their heart rate... It's almost like they were..."

"... Almost like they were killed by their own shadow?" Catherine finished the sentence in a skeptical tone. "Exactly!" Velmaior exclaimed, almost falling out of his chair. Catherine sighed and crossed her arms, "Then why didn't we find the boy?" Catherine raised her eyebrow. "Velmaior, I think what happened was the parents were strangled by their son. I mean, think about it. The parents are both dead and no sign of the son? It sounds more like to me we may have a murderer on the loose to me." Catherine tried to speak some sense into him. "You're probably right..." Velmaior sighed. "... That would explain why we couldn’t find the son." Velmaior agreed, nodding his head. He had a hunch that there was something more to this case, but shrugged it off. He needed more evidence. "Velmaior, I got to go... Okay? Don't drive yourself too insane over this." Catherine smiled as she walked out of the office. Velmaior sighed and resumed his computer work.

Upper-City

(Erik's POV)

I walked up the hallway. I looked back at the guards. "I need to get rid of this bodies." I thought, biting the tip of my thumb.

"Σκοτάδι, μπορείτε να ανοίξετε με μια πύλη για τον άλλο κόσμο παρακαλώ(1)?"

I asked Darkness in my native tongue. Suddenly two, black portals appeared under the corpses and swallowed into what I assumed was another world. The portals closed shortly after. A large blood still remained, but I had a suspicion that the second person to walk in here would be blamed. So I didn't worry.

I honestly didn't know where the portal took the bodies. I just assumed Darkness devoured them. One of my personally biggest gripes with my powers was that I can control with the Greek language, I've tried English, and it doesn't work. I guess it could work another way if I knew another language, but I still liked Greek more. That'd be all I spoke if it wouldn't hinder my livelihood due to the fact almost 95% of the population could only speak and understand English.

I gasped as I reached the end of the hallway. I now found myself in the doorway of a large, one thousand square foot, and metropolitan themed room. The floor was laden with pure, white, pearl titles and the walls perfectly matched the floor. In the middle of the room was a black, plastic desk and a dark grey, swivel chair was stationed not too far away.

The most striking feature of the room was the large window covering almost the entire wall behind the desk. You could see almost all of the Upper-City from that one window, which greatly surprised me since I had never seen anything like it before in my entire life. I cautiously stepped into the room, trying not to set off any possible alarms in the room. I walked around the room, trying to find something of interest. But to my dismay it looked almost as if the room had been abandoned right before I had walked in. I looked around the room and soon decided that maybe the desk would have something of interest.

I walked over to the desk and opened the front drawer. That's when loud, overbearing, heart bursting alarm filled the room. I closed my eyes and grabbed my chest in pain. It felt as though my heart was about to explode in my chest, as my eyes were closed. I heard quick and heavy steps rushing down the hallway. When I opened my eyes the entrance and I were completely surrounded by at the minim 20 troops. They all wore white, spandex jumps. They wore what looked like a white, biker helmet with a black visor covering their eyes and black boots that stopped at the knee. I gasped and backed up a few steps.

"You're under arrest by Legion. If you don't surrender, you'll be killed immediately." They told me union. I frantically scanned the room. They were completely shadow less.

I didn't respond to them. I just stood still and thought of a plan.

"Since you refuse to speak... Prepare to be killed." They continued to speak in complete union, at this point their voice sounded almost robotic. Suddenly a glowing, light blue, florescent sword appeared in their hands.

They charged at me one, by one in a bee like way. I screamed in pain as one of them sliced my shoulder. I grabbed the wound, trying to stop the blood flow. I gasped in shock as another dashed up and kicked me   as hard as he could. Sending me flying out of the glass window back first. 

"This isn't good." I thought, still in mid air. I soon crashed to the hard ground with a loud

'THUD'.

I breathed heavily as my body lay almost lifeless on ground. I had glass fragments stuck in numerous parts of my body and I swear I couldn't move my left arm. My body was too numb at this moment for me to feel the sharp pain surging through my body. 

I could see blackness creeping into my vision. I soon after blacked out.
