Mark of Darkness [private for me and RedRose4]

[zajawa]

Ashley was waking up slowly. The first thing he saw was.. Destro wasn't there. Standing up he went to the bathroom and fixed everything that needed to be fixed. His shirt and shorts were a bit messy but there was nothing he could do about it. Going out of the bathroom he saw that there was something on it. Seeing what was written there he sighed, remembering now the vampire said something about it. Complete in five hours.. How many hours already passed? Sighing he looked around bedroom and then peeked into the bathroom. Everything seemed clean. Okay so the next point. Where the fuck was a mail office? He went outside the room and looked around. Sighing deeply when he didn't see anybody on the corridor he went to search for it by himself. After fifteen minutes he was lucky enough to be given directions by some other passing by pet. Knocking he waited for someone to open him so he could ask about any mail or boxes. Only then he thought that other male was an idiot because he never told him his name or surname. Ashley knew his name was Destro only because of his friend telling him that. Sighing deeply he knocked once again.

[RedRose4]

While Destro worked someplace else, the office was rather empty, only two people inside sorting through a few stacks of paper, some being advertisements although the larger boxes showed equiptment for the vampires to use. Extra leashes, collars, things that only animals should have on were meant for the pets that grew in population each day.
When one of the men heard the knock, they got up, heading towards the door and opening it Glancing down at Ashley, he took a moment to look at him before speaking. “Yes?” he asked, his body towering over the young vampire before him due to just how tall he was.

[zajawa]

Blinking and looking up he didn't speak for few moments but then remembered about why he was here and cleared his throat.
"I was sent here to ask if there are any boxes or mails for master Destro", he said quickly, knowing he probably didn't have much time left for all those points at the list.

[RedRose4]

Waiting for the vampire to reply, the man glanced back at his colleague and said a few words before his attention was brought back to Ashley. Hearing what he asked, the vampire then cocked an eyebrow and asked something else.
“Did he send you?” He wondered, looking at Ashley for a few seconds and then walking back into the room, grabbing a bag full of mail and bringing a small box as well. “If so, this is for him.”
It was clear he was a little hesitant due to how he kept looking at Ashley, skeptical if Destro actually told him to pick it up, or if he was trying to steal the mail.

[zajawa]

"And why would I be here if he didn't send me?", he asked, rolling his eyes with a deep sigh. "Have better things to do than stealing his mail."
Taking the bag and a box from the man he said goodbye and looked at the list. Okay. So now that Tera. Heading right he knocked to doors, once again waiting. If that keep happening there is no way I will be done within five hours... Gritting his teeth he knocked once again, being a bit pissed off already. Taking few deep breaths he just waited.

[RedRose4]

The man looked at Ashley, his gaze less calm and slightly more hostile at the males words. “You’d be surprised how many people try.” He mumbled, not saying anything other than that as he gave it to him and closed the door with a faint, “No problem.”
A few moments later, when Ashley knocked on the door, it took at least four minutes for it to open. An old woman with a cane peeked through and inspected Ashley, her brown eyes framed with glasses as she nearly wobbled when walking.
“Yes? Has he sent you? Tell sweet mister Destro that I’m fine.” The human was at least eighty years old, her short, plump body was covered with a floral nightgown. “Would you like to come in?” She wondered, not knowing that Ashley had no time for that.

[zajawa]

Seriously? Though.. Destro was a head of organization.. and some of his mail could be quite important. Mhm. Whatever. Seeing the old woman opening the door he felt a bit stupid for being so irritated that she was so slow. If he would be as old as her he would be too.. probably. Hearing her reffering to Destro as she did made him a bit surprised. Much more than a bit actually. Didn't she know what that 'sweet mister' was doing?
"Yes, ma'am. I'll tell him that. And I'm afraid that I can't come in. Have few other things waiting for me. Maybe next time", said Ashley, trying to be as polite as he could. "I wish you good day."
When the doors closed he checked the list once again. Storage. Great. Once again he didn't really know how much things there should be.. etc. Going inside he then looked on the clipboard. There were some things written down.. though how he was supposed to write it down? With his blood? Sighing he looked if there was anything to write. There was marker.. Ok. Fine. He will write it down on the list Destro gave him. That done he took some food and water and went to the other vampires, knowing they were probably really hungry. Just like him.. but still.. Opening the door to the cell he looked around, hoping both guys were still there and weren't sent to be test dummies.

[RedRose4]

“Okay sweety.” She smiled faintly and took a step back, placing an unsteady hand on the door and giving a half wave of the other hand. “Thank you, tell him I said thanks as well.” Closing the door slowly, she returned to her room while Ashley went to the storage room.
By the time the vampire got into the room with the other men, Beray was actually smiling when he walked in, his eyes snapping to the door and his smile left almost to ensure whoever saw wasn’t going to be upset at such a nice emotion.
Looking at what Ashley had, Beray smiled and looked at him. “Good to see you. Thanks again.” he said before even taking the food, wanting to wait for Ashley to give it to them first. He had to have some humanity left him in, and attacking someone just because he was hungry didn’t apply.
The older, much more muscular man looked at Ashley as well, usually he didn’t speak although this time he mumbled a “Thanks” as well.
“We really appreciate you giving us food, if not we’d starve.” Beray muttered, then shaking his head. “You should go back, I have a feeling Destro wouldn’t want you gone for long. Thanks again.”

[zajawa]

Seeing they both were still there he sighed in relief. Smiling he gave them the food and then nodded.
"It's not a problem. And yeah.. I'm running out of time I believe. It seems I would have more time tomorrow. Sorry. Have a good day", he said waving and hurriedly leaving.
Reading what was written as the last point he headed down the hall and right. Okay. Cafeteria. Walking inside he looked around, curious how the cafeteria would look like and who would be inside.

[RedRose4]

“No problem, we’ll see you then.” Beray said, trying to be a little enthusiastic as well as hopeful. He wanted to see Ashley, wanted to stay in this room instead of having to be something worse. It seemed he wasn’t having a great life, but Ashley…Beray felt thankful he didn’t have to go through that.

The cafeteria wasn’t exactly a cafeteria. It was more like a large room, with blocked back door and a large counter that a woman stood behind. Reading through a magazine, she glanced over at Ashley and stood up straight. “Here for food? Let me get it…” Heading to the back, the woman put the warm food into the bag, bringing it to Ashley and speaking.
“Come everyday and you get a warm meal, and we also have blood, type A and B mostly. Since it’s your first time here, I’ll give you an O-.” She smiled and grabbed a warm glass bottle of blood, placing it inside the bag and speaking again.
“Today it’s fries and a medium-rare burger with all the toppings you can imagine. Enjoy.” he said again, finishing her job for now as she grabbed her magazine and opened it once more.
