" Like they said...old people are the wisest...I know what I am gonna if I face my murderer someday" Allec close his phone and put it inside his pocket. " I guess were invited to a party...Well you better find yourself a suit that is formal, Because Im gonna go and rent some." Allec turn around and said " Ill think see you guys at the Undercity tomorrow night 7 PM" Allec put both of his hand on his pocket and get out from the hotel to rent some suit at the tailor he know.

Zhoralel could only watch Allec leave. True Zhoralel was old but he never thought himself to be that old. In fact he prefered the term 'Experienced', but what could he do.

Zhoralel made his way back to Clara, "the vampire," he thought where he came from he had studies many things about the subspecies. Though most vampires are a monsterous beast, larger than the average male, a human based vampire was the result of a virus. But who knows maybe the rules are different here.
He entered the hotel room, "Hey, are you feeling better?" he asked before seeing if Clara was in the room.

Clara was gone as soon as Zhoralel entered the room. The window was open and the sound of the whistling wind entering was the only thing heard. Clara needed some time to herself. Although she acted tough, she was still that timid and scared little girl from before. 'Til now, she cannot accept herself or her identity. She can only hide it and lock it away.

Allec went home that he brought the suit he rent that he hang it inside his cabinet. He still think about what Clara and he decided to try his best to trust even though she is not a human. Allec went to his room that he polish his weapons and made more silver bullet from melting the silver ware that he bought from the store. As he work he look at the picture of Alicia on a picture frame that he misses her so much. "Alicia, you will be avenge no matter what." After the work he has done he went to his bed and sleep. Tomorrow Night at the time of 6:55 PM, Allec was waiting for the two of them that he wear his best suit and he was waiting patiently for them.

Zhoralel was left standing in the door way, what was he to do. These people could handle themselves.
"Perhaps it is time for us to go," He said vanishing from the hotel. He would stay this way till the next evening only to reappear at the club in front of Allec.
"What did i miss?" he asked.

Allec was little surprise that Zhoralel arrived " You look more gentleman on that suit your wearing and I bet the ladies love guys who are gentleman" he gave him a sarcastic smile.

Zhoralel wasn't in a suit when he arrived but that slowly changed, his white robes formed into a well tailored sherwani. It was perfectly white and the gold lay around it in an intricate fashion.

"It helps if one is dressed to impress." Zhoralel said back to Allec. "I hope Clara is well, if so i hope she would join us." He said.

"While waiting for her, What was your world looks like? " Allec asked him a question, because he was curious about him from the start.

"Wow," Zhoralel looked to the sky,"It's been so long I nearly forgot what it looked like."
"Really it's sad you ask that Allec, cause... I can never go home. I will keep wondering till the day I die." For eons Zhoralel has traveled though time and space, never once returning home. Never allowing himself to even rest his weary body.

Allec lean behind a closest wall "Why not stay here? After this could be your home than your previous...because there are great thing you can see here on what God had created." Allec give a small smile and continue on " It's a good thing that my sister taught me about the Bible and I learned many things from it. Especially...that I want justice rather than vengeance. Dont think if I find the monster who've killed my sister that I want to put justice not vengeance."

"You'll have to be carefull though. Don't let your sisters death be the only fuel for that monsters fire." Zhoralel looked back at Allec.
"Let me tell you something, I have traveled for a very long time, seen things your mind could never dream of, but for as long as i can remember i have never had a normal human life." Zhoralel looked away now.
"I have watched my own demons and the demons of others consume me, drive me to the point of madness. The only thing that kept me from giving in was the hope that one day i would be free. That day, even after I died, has yet to come. So what I'm tying to tell you now is this, hold true to yourself and remember what is important. Or else you will become what you have sworn to destroy and lose everything."
Zhoralel knew all to well what it would be like to give in to the madness.

" I dont know the reason why sister killed by that monster...All I know from that past, that monster wear the same pendant that Clara wear around her neck." Allec clench his fist as he stop himself from anger. "Who knows...I bet that monster has a reason for killing my sister and I dont hesitate to kill it for justice."

((Finally! Internet is working. Sorry, guys. My internet can't access RPR sometimes. it's so laggy.))

On that cold lonely night before the party when Clara disappeared from the hotel, she took a little visit to a familiar place -- an old church tower, still strong and tall but abandoned and alone just like her. Clara gradually flew to the top of this tower. And as she finally reached the top, she received an unexpected welcome from her old friends -- the bats that took care of her after her rebirth (and were also the ones that killed her--Ahem--awkward). But anyway...

"Haha." Clara miraculously gave a small giggle as they all surrounded her with the sound of their squeaks and the wind from their wings. They were all surprised to see her. "I missed you too, guys." Clara said, thanking them for the welcome, "Hey, where's Betty?"

Then as she asked that, the smallest bat in the room quickly went flying towards her and gave her chest a hug. It was Betty Bat -- known to be Clara's best friend many years ago until now.

"Hey, Betty. I missed you." Clara smiled and Betty empathized, but--SLAP!--"Ow!" Clara gasped with Betty's assault. "What was that for?" And Betty started complaining why she left without saying goodbye. She missed her so much that not having Clara around for almost a hundred years was unbearable!

"Awww...I'm sorry, Betty. I should have told you." She apologized and just like that, Betty forgave her and then asked why she has returned after a long while. Then, with Clara's head bowing down, she sat down and replied sadly, "Well, I don't know... I just need some time to think. Looking at his face, I can't stand it. I thought I was strong enough to handle his presence, that making myself work with him would make me feel at ease from what happened before and make me able to forgive myself, but no... The memory is still haunting me..."

Betty and the other bats didn't understand. Who and what was Clara talking about?

Flashback:

Blood painted the walls...

Screams were in the wind...

And an innocent voice cried...

"Please... Please don't kill me!"

Then Clara closed her eyes. "What have I done?" She clenched her fists and suddenly, as she was about to punch the weak floor--"I don't think the tower will handle your punch, dear lady... It might crumble down." An old voice was heard. It was from a very old man. Clara knew him since he was a baby abandoned in front the house of God, adopted by a beloved priest who eventually died from cancer, and was taught to serve in the church.

"Jacob..." Clara was surprised. "What are you doing here?"

"I live just beside this church, remember?" Jacob replied, "And I'm just here to feed your bat friends." Then he slowly scattered the food at one place of the room. "Well, it's been a while since you've returned. Why is that?"

Clara sighed, "Well, you see... Years ago, I've done something that broke someone's heart...and then, I met that someone. I thought that maybe...just maybe...if I could just show him a better side of me and not the monster, he would be able to forgive me if he ever found out who I really was and maybe give me the chance to explain what really happened..."

"Trying to win someone's trust by hiding who you really are is not honesty at all, my dear. To win someone's trust is to be true to yourself and true to what you say and believe in." Jacob looked at Clara, "So, dear, if you really want to win his trust, you must let him know who you really are...and if he doesn't listen, at least you've done what you can do... God knows the truth and he forgives you... So anyway, stay if you like. Nothing has changed since you left so it will be quite comfortable for you..." Then after that, Jacob went down the tower, leaving Clara to realize what he said...

It was finally the night. So much glamour and sophistication was in the place. And by the entrance, a tall and gorgeous woman slowly approached the guard who eventually stopped her.

"Your invitation, ma'am?" He asked, looking so typically serious.

The woman then chuckled, "I don't need an invitation, darling..." Then she gently caressed his chin giving him a sexy smirk, and just like a spell, he let her in.

Once she was finally in, she carefully made her way to the hall where she sensed two men waiting for her. And when she caught sight of them, she stood right behind them and said, "Did I take too long, boys?"

It was Clara. Her bright crimson red lips were shimmering. She had hot smokey eyes that matched her hypnotizing stare. And her sparkling black side slit sleeveless dress perfectly formed her curvy figure. "So, what do we do now?"

Allec heard that familiar voice that when he look at her, he was little stun by her beauty that gave him a little blush. " well, I think your right on time." Allec and his friends walk inside the UnderCity Mansion and inside the mansion are the other monsters enjoying the party with a smooth jazz music. The monsters were chatting dancing and happily enjoying the part, as they enter the hall GodFather Vladmir walk towards them with a welcome gesture and he said " It's good that you've came here good Hunter and I see you brought your friends with you. Please enjoys the party and the 18th birthday of my young daughter." Vladmir smiled that he was surrounded with 5 bodyguards as he shake Allec's hand.

Allec then replied " Its quite surprising that you've invited a hunter like me on this occasion and you don't feel uncomfortable that you've shake a monster hunter like me? Allec was little nervous that he is in the CIty filled with monsters that made him felt different. Vladimir replied " Nonsense! because of the two vampires reported that you've killed Jack the Ripper and I am truly grateful you put justice on him. Because he has been warned 3 times and he got what he deserve." Vladimir stop shaking Allec's hand that he escorted us to the VIP seat with the GodFather. Vladimir called his best servant to serve our food on front of us and most of them are human style."Go on eat, and don't worry...its not human but animals." Allec tried the food and its delicious and after that the Godfather made a deal to me " Hunter...I have a request for you...I want you to put justice on this monsters." VLadimir slide the paper in front of me and its the list of 10 criminals who broke the law of monsters. As allec saw the list " You want me to kill them?" then Vladimir replied " No...some of them just committed minor crimes like stealing, kidnapping, drug selling, and false advertisement and your just gonna bring them here on UnderCity that will put them to jail. But some of them committing murder that they kill innocent people and crime of rape, All I want to kill them if they resist to be arrest. Please I need your help on tracking this Criminals."

Allec began to think and later on he accepted Vladimir's request and said " If they hurt my people, its either to surrendered or to put justice on them." Vladimir was pleased by his answered that suddenly his(vladimir) Daughter run to the Godfather that her daughter is a werewolf, wearing a purple dress with a gold collar around her neck and her hair is curly " Father I am so happy that you throw this party just for me." She was so happy that her tail start wagging that her father replied " Anything for your Sweety and Oh Hunter, I want you to meet my daughter...Sheila McTon." Sheila started to bow like a lady " its nice to meet you Hunter, I heard you killed bad monsters with your weapons, because daddy told me about it." She smiled innocently.

Allec was little embarassed and replied " Oh I see and Its nice to meet you too...Sheila" The musician start playing a good pop music that all the monster start dancing. Allec just look at them dancing while he was holding his cup of wine and start drinking.

Zhoralel couldn't help but feel out of place amongst the creatures. In his mind he was running over all the different species and subspecies of demons, werewolves, vampires, and everything else. But at the same time he was fascinated, nothing knew or could have known what he was. He would stick with Allec as he talked to Vladimir. Taking a glass of wine he would change its shape till it became a fine decrotive jewel and gave it to the young birthday girl
"For you," he said with a smile. "Had I have known this would be you birthday i would have gotten a diamond instead." With that he bowed and left to lean on the same wall with Allec.

"Birthdays, they can be fun, if its yours though. Otherwise you just kiss up to whoever's birthday it is."

"Well I could say that is the joyful Occasion that you feel so special and important on that day" As he drink his wine few girls went to him to asked for a dance and Allec didn't know what to do. The girls were attracted to him because they never saw a human this good looking before.

"I'll take that,"Zhoralel said grabbing Allec's wine,"and you can have this." He pushed Allec to the dance floor. Zhoralel had a big smile on his face, as he laughed at Allec's misfortunes. Whatever it was, the girls made him dance with them and he wasn't to bad at it. Zhoralel watched from outside the circle cheering the Hunter on.

After meeting Grandfather Vladimir and her somewhat familiar werewolf daughter that reminded her of someone (but Clara decided not to think about it too much), Clara remained silent and poised as she was drinking a glass of fine red wine. Then, she just continued watching every monster around do their thing in that party until Allec was pulled to the dance floor. And seeing Zhoralel cheer on for Allec, Clara can't help but walk towards him and get along with the fun.

"Hehe. What a magnet Allec is. Even monsters like him..." Clara sighed but with a smile at the same time. "But, what about you hot shot?" She then asked Zhoralel, "Can you dance? For sure you do..."

"When you are immortal you learn a thing or two." Zhoralel reached his hand out to Clara.
"Care to join me." Zhoralel had a welcoming smile on his face.

Clara was quite surprised with his offer. She was never asked to a dance after a very long time. But, she didn't want to reject either. "Okay then," Clara nodded and with her telekinetic powers, she floated the glasses of wine from Zhoralel's hand, along with hers, to one place. "Just don't step on my foot... These sandals are new." She added with a teasing smile and placed her hand against his palm.

((It's jazz right? What music is it? *.*))
