Chapter 15: Blood and Vomit
David Cox was expecting today to be like any other he got up ate breakfast brushed his teeth had a shower and then waited for his morning call by watching television.
Halfway through the morning quiz show his phone rang getting up he walked over to the hallway where his phone lay on a dresser.
Picking it up he as always heard his boss's voice from the other side. "Hello, am I speaking to Daniel Cox?"
"Yes, Mr. Hopkins," he said exasperated, his boss Keneth Hopkins was a piece of work always complaining about this and that.
"Ah, Mr. Cox" he snickered "I'll connect you to the, woman, that you'll be chauffeuring today."
Then there was a loud beep and knowing he had been connected he spoke "Hello"
A feminine voice replied, "Hello, am I speaking to a Mr. Cox?"
"Yes, that is correct," he said in his business voice.
"Ah, excellent, the name's Victoria Sharp and I would like you to drive my lady and me to the Rhubarb restaurant, Edinburgh."
His eyes widened, a lady so either she really was a lady or she was just extremely rich.
"Of course it would be an honor. When and where should I pick you up?" he asked while taking out a notepad.
"At Saint Mary's street at eleven-thirty."
"I will need both your names."
"Lady Eleanor Black and Ms. Victoria Sharp."
"Well thank you Ms. Sharp I will see you later then." He said finishing his notes.
"See you later Mr. Cox," she said before hanging up.
Looking at the clock he saw it was only seven AM. So he just relaxed for the next three hours.
He was now driving his black Rolls Royce silver spirit to the allotted place, he was wearing his usual black suit.
Feeling a bit nervous he took a sip of the water bottle next to him.
Turning the corner into saint mary's street he looked around for his clients.
He almost instantly saw the two females, one woman, and one child.
Driving up and parking in front of them he stepped out "Excuse me, are you perhaps, Lady Black and Ms. Sharp?" he asked politely, he thought it was them because of their appearance.
"Yes, then you must be Mr. Cox," said the black-haired woman.
Grabbing the door handle he opened it "That would be my name, please step in and I will drive you to your desired location,".
The small girl who he guessed must be Lady Black sat down first.
He then shut the door and went to the parallel door and opened it like the last.
Now that everybody was inside he heard the two talking about the seat belt and the small girl's voice was like that of an angel sent by God.
Throughout the ride to the restaurant, Ms. Sharp had told the young lady everything about Edinburgh.
'So she isn't from around here then how come she was at Saint Mary's street.' he thought to himself.
They soon arrived at their destination, and he parked his car, David got out to help his two passengers.
The young lady thanked him with a stunning smile.
'God, she's so cute' After he helped Ms. Sharp, Lady Black asked him "Mr. Cox will you be waiting here for us to return?"
He bowed and said "Yes, of course," respectfully.
The two then turned away towards the restaurant.
Opening the door and stepping into his car he picked up his water bottle and had a sip before taking out a book he had been reading whenever he was taking a break while in his car.
Some time had passed when David had heard a scream coming from the restaurant, he was so startled that he knocked his head on the roof of the car.
Growing he stumbled out, rubbing his head to alleviate the pain he looked up toward the building.
There were still screams coming from it until there were a few bright flashes of red light and all went silent.
He rushed forward and slammed the front door open.
Before him lay multiple people, unconscious, he walked up to one of them a woman in her late thirties with auburn hair and average features.
David tried to shake her awake but it didn't work, so he moved on.
Walking to the next room, what he saw shocked him.
Blood, blood everywhere it stained the floor walls and ceiling.
An arm here a leg there he couldn't see a single intact body.
FRozen as he was he could only stand there in abject horror, but what shook him out of his shocked state was the quiet mumbling he heard reverberating throughout the silent building.
Wanting to find the source of the voice he pressed on.
After a few minutes of searching, he finally reached the room from where the mumbling came.
So in a moment of courage that would make a Gryfindor prowed he slowly walked forward.
Inch by inch he neared the archway that separated his room and the one where the mumbling originated from.
As he passed one of the tables he quickly picked up one of the table knives.
When he turned the corner into the next room what he saw rooted him in place.

The kind lady that showed them to their seats fell to her knees as the slaughter continued, nobody except for her and Victoria were left when the girl jumped at the young woman slicing straight through her throat with her claws.
Victoria tried to stop her there but when she had managed to pull out her wand, Eleanor had already run into the next room.
While trying to catch up she kept seeing the dismembered bodies of current guests.
She then slipped on a wet piece of ground looking down she saw red obviously blood.
Jumping up Victoria carried on running, finally catching up to Eleanor she razed he wand and shouted "Stupefy" a red bolt of energy burst out of the end of the wand hitting the red-head vampire straight in the back.
The now unconscious Eleanor now just lay there unconscious.
Knowing she didn't have much time Victoria rushed around the restaurant stupefying the rest of the guests and staff.
Victoria was now sitting in front of a crying Eleanor "Your highness it's not your fault that you couldn't control your body."
Reaching out Victoria pulled the crying girl into her arms and started rocking her back and forth.
"Hush, hush, just calm down, it's alright."
Eleanor kept sobbing "No, I'm a monster." she then looked up and Victoria could see her bloodshot eyes while tears cascaded down her cheeks.
"I-I-I"
Turning to her right Eleanor emptied out her stomach.
Victoria had a worried look on her face she hadn't been serving the young girl for very long but in that short time, she had come to care for her, and seeing her in that condition concerned her.
Reaching out Victoria started to rub the red head's back while saying soothing words.
When the heterochromatic-eyed girl looked back at her, Victoria noticed the vomit all across the girl's lips and chin.
Quickly grabbing a napkin she cleaned the girl's mouth and jaw.
Smiling she said, "How are you feeling your highness."
"Like shit" Eleanor chuckled her tears now dried up "Not very becoming of a princess to talk like that now is it."
"You can talk however you want your highness, you have been through a terrible experience, so please don't push yourself."
Eleanor slowly stood up "No, I have to get to that meeting an-" but she instantly collapsed right into Victoria's arms.
"I told you not to push yourself, your highness," Victoria said looking down at Eleanor.
"Your highness, your highness," she said shaking Eleanor a bit. "She must have passed out."
That's when she heard someone enter the room.
Her wand flew into her hand and she looked up at the intruder her wand razed.
It was Mr. Cox their driver and he was rooted in place.
"Mr. Cox?" she called out. "Mr. Cox?
He was shook out of his stupor "Y-y-yes?"
"Could you please come here." is was more of an order than a request.
He slowly walked over his whole body shaking from nervousness.
When he arrived in front of them Victoria spoke "Would you please help me carry her to the car."
"Y-yeah, sure." he then reached down and slipped his arms around Eleanor's slim figure.
Now holding her in a princess carry he waited for Victoria to stand up to then they walk out of the restaurant.
