Dasia sat up slowly, her stomach was still sore where she had been run through as Paul called it. She didn't know the woman, or her husband but she knew she had taken other immortal's lives before and the woman no doubt had found out about who had taken her husband and wanted revenge. She got revenge thinking Dasia would die.
"I am an immortal Paul, I cannot die but I do not feed from people like you do. I just exist and never die." she sighs thinking of how she could explain it as well as Chris usually would.
"So you get run through a lot?" he asks as she chuckles and shakes her head.
"Nope, that is maybe the 3rd time in the past 100 years. Still painful as hell though." she sighs as Paul gently rubs her arm.
"I'm sure you have a lot to tell us, I want to hear it but you are exhausted and so am I. I have some old clothes you can wear and I will take you back tonight myself, no one else will be running you through." Paul said as he jumped up and took off into the cave.
Dasia waited until he came back with an old black tee shirt with the band def leppard logo on it and some old shorts she'd have to tie onto her. He scratched the back of his head unsure she would even want to wear his old clothes. Taking them she knelt down beside the table and quickly changed. Holding her dress in her hand, Paul came over and took the dress, tossing it into a bin that would be set on fire later.
"Bad memories are gone." Paul smiled as he went to the couch and laid down.
He then turned to her and patted the spot in front of him. Raising her eyebrow at him, she wanted to ask him how many times that move actually worked but she was weak and tired. Walking up to the couch and vampire she laid down in his arms which were cool and refreshing to her still warm skin. Paul was comforting her, he wrapped his arms around her and kept reassuring her that he wouldn't let anyone else hurt her that night she closed her eyes and drifted off.
Chris was looking at the tapes from Dasia's security system and was surprised to see Dwayne defend Dasia and take her away hopefully to safety. The woman who had come after Dasia was one Cleo Price, her husband Adam had challenged Dasia thinking she would be an easy kill about three years ago, Dasia won the challenge though. Adam lost his head. Turns out Cleo wanted revenge and Dasia gave it to her in one odd way but then Cleo ended her own life.
"Damn, talk about drama. I'll send a clean up crew over but where do you think shirtless took Dasia?" Adrian asked Chris.
"Back to the cave, where he thought she would be safe."
"Uh huh and when she wakes up fully healed, how do you think that will go?"
"She'll tell them the truth and we will come to some kind of agreement. Things have changed since the 80's after all." Chris said as he stood up and walked off.
Marko opened his eyes first and jumped down, he wanted to wake up and see Dasia wide awake and sitting on the couch waiting for them. When he got to the main room, Dasia was there on the couch, wrapped up in Paul's arms. She was fast asleep and in Paul's shirt. Not that he could blame her for that, who would want to sleep in a bloody dress? Dwayne came up right beside Marko and saw she was changed and fast asleep.
"Should we wake her up?" Marko asked Dwayne.
Dwayne shrugged as he walked forward clearly making noise in an attempt to wake up both Paul and Dasia. Paul moved his head up out of the crick of Dasia's neck and saw Dwayne and Marko looking at him.
"Boy has she got a story to tell you guys." Paul grinned.
Marko and Dwayne looked at one another as if silently asking each other the same question, what now? Dasia slowly blinked her eyes open and looked up to see Marko and Dwayne had come into the room. She then sat up with Paul still right behind her.
"How did you survive that?' Dwayne inquired what he and Marko were both thinking.
"She's an immortal dude! Just like us but not a vampire!" Paul answered for Dasia clearly full of excitement.
"How do you become that kind of immortal?" Marko now questioned.
"We don't choose it, it runs in certain genes of certain families. The only way we know is after our first death." Daisa tries to explain to them. "Chris can explain this much better than me."
''Chris is one too?" Paul now asked.
"Both Chris and Adrian are immortals as well, aren't they Dasia?" David asked as he walked into the room.
"Yes, we all three are immortals. Born in different time periods, killed in different circumstances and revived by our immortality." Dasia nods as she stands up. "You all have questions all three of us can answer but I would prefer to do so after bathing and changing into my own clothes."
"Take her and then meet me at the cliff at 10. Don't be late." David said as he left the cave.
Marko shrugged as he walked up and put his arm around Dasia's neck. The other two vampires just chuckled at the sudden show of dominance with the girl before them.
''Let's go and get you there. You all have a lot of explaining to do." Marko grinned as they started to exit.
"This should be interesting." Dwayne said as he and Paul followed Dasia and Marko out of the cave and hopefully to some answers.
Chris had gone over the process of becoming immortal as he knew it and what he had been told. It was something that had been passed down from immortal to immortal and truthfully no one knew who was the original or why those were chosen to be immortal in the first place. While Chris continued with his history lesson, Adrian had noticed how the vampires did pay attention but they were in full defense mode around Dasia, they were on guard in case something happened again.
"Dang, get the immortality but no blood. I can see why it would be appealing to some." Marko commented, earning the attention of his fellow brothers.
"It's not all fun, you have to watch the ones you love wither before you die. It's not an easy sight to see." Dasia sighed as she looked out the window.
"What about children? Can immortals have children?" Dwayne asked out of nowhere.
"No, immortals cannot have children." Adrian answers for both Chris and Dasia.
"Same for vampires. Not that it'd be the best idea anyway." Paul nodded as he looked at Dwayne and Marko.
"Will there be more people after her or even you guys?" Marko sparks up another question.
"No, that would be a time of gathering and it happens once every century. Many immortals go there for mercy from other immortals. All of us have had to do things we never wanted to do as you lot have had to as well no doubt." Chris continues his explanation.
Adrian continued to watch the vampires seeing which one was going to ask the question he knew was on all of their minds. They were watching Dasia like a hawk, whether she wanted to believe it or not, the vampires in that room felt something for her, something she nor them understood at that moment.
"What about an immortal and a vampire together?" Paul asked sort of surprising Adrian, he thought Dwayne would ask that question.
"Immortals and Vampires can have a relationship if that is what you are asking, it would be difficult though since we live during the day and you are active while we rest." Adrian answered Paul's question.
The vampires looked at Dasia who just smiled at them, she wasn't going to say anything at that moment. They were still very new to her as she was to them but that didn't mean she didn't have an interest in them. Quite the opposite actually.
Walking to the multiple stores and checking in with the many groups of people who called this place home was something she took over for Chris since he was busy with Adrian trying to figure out what Star had done to bring the vampires back from their deaths. She knew that another gathering would not be happening anytime soon, the last time it happened was back in 2000 and needless to say it was just as bloody as the one that happened in 1900. Times had passed and though she liked to think the advances had made things better, she passed people on their phones not even paying attention to the world anymore.
"Dasia!" Michael's voice called out from behind her.
Turning around, she saw he was rushing up her way and had a book in his hand. Confused, she wondered why he was running up to her with a book of all things. Michael barely had a chance to touch her when a force pushed them backwards causing both her and Michael to black out.
