Vampire Slayers

So, you believe you've managed to cast me aside by hurling despicable insults my way? Think again. Each derogatory remark only fuels my resolve to reconstruct my empire in honor of my father, the formidable Lucas Romano. With my devoted husband, Shiki, standing steadfastly beside me, we will rise from the ashes of the past, more powerful than ever before. Together, we will forge a legacy that embodies strength, resilience, and the unbreakable spirit of our family name.

I am strong

I am a great leader

As you finish supper, you go freshen up and look at the card given to you. If you show to the job. Call this number and you're coming. And meet at the lounge, it's a high-class bar. When you enter you'll see a person greet you and give them the name of Romanos and they'll escort you to a private VIP table. 
As you set the card, you take a shower and quickly get changed, picking up the phone to dial the number. As a voice answers. You speak. "I'll be there." You say.
The voice gives you time. You look at the clock as you say your thanks and hang up. You have about a half hour to get there. So you quickly lock up and catch a cab. 
As you whistle to a cab, it stops and lets you in. As you close the door, you lean back in the seat, looking out the window. The noises of the city make you feel comfort to the nerves in your belly about this meeting. 
As the cab pulls up, the cab lets off at the entrance. You pay for the cab and it drives off, leaving a trail of exhaust. You chuckle to yourself. Only to stop short seeing a talk intimidating man, she swallows hard, as you stop. 
"name?" The man asks you.
"SleepToken" you say, it was the only name given to you. 
The man looks at you and signals someone to escort you back, as you follow this person. You notice the gold, the layout. You raise a brow. It was pretty crowded. Not your usual hang-out. But it was nice. 
As the man walks you back to the VIP section, you an intimidating quiet shadow. You squint your eyes. But then you look over at the bodyguard. Then you notice the shadow move. 
"Sit. Relax. She won't kill you." The other female snickered. 
The show seemed amused but your brow raised. "It would be weird cannibalism. I'm not beef or chicken." You say. Although you're making a joke, you're nervous as all get out. 
"Have you ever taken anyone out execution style?" The shadow says. 
"Taking someone out...do you mean by killing them?" You ask. 
"yes. They are a traitor. You know someone who once worked for us. Then betrayed the hand that gave him a family. I mean it would be one thing if he just left. But he didn't..he gave out family trade secrets and killed one of ours. And you know what we do to those kinds of people?" The shadow spoke so coldly but his voice was soft. 
"yes. My father was like that. I've killed people for less." you say, the shadow nods. 
"In that case, I'll even make it easy for you, I'll come with you. And I'll give you the gun to shoot them. And I'll even have it cleaned up. what do you say?" The shadow says. 
You nod, but before you can speak of anything else, two men bring up a bloodied bruised man. Spitting and snotting all over themselves. 
You turn to look, and as you study the man, you wonder why he did it, and instead of asking why, aloud you ask "Was it worth it?" 
the shadow looked at you surprised by your question, "not a question I thought you'd ask." He says. 
As you pick up the gun that was handed to you. You crouch down and you ask again but louder. "Was it worth it? Was it worth doing all this work only for you to be torn apart?" You asked again. 
The man didn't answer, he only coughed and wheezed. As you let the coldness cover your features. And you allow yourself to disassociate yourself from your emotions. You shoot him. As soon as the bullet penetrates the man's forehead and shoots through. The man's blood is everywhere including your clothes. 
"Awe man. I need a new shirt. I just got this shirt." You say as the shadow laughs in amusement. 
"you just shot a man, you worried about your shirt." He says. 
"I mean you had a guy beat up then handed him to have me kill 9nly yo pay me? That either selling my soul. Or recruitment or maybe both. But either way I. Just your normal civilian anymore." You say.
"haha..good, we need your mentality. If you are interested you're welcome to join this family." He says with his card out and a wad of cash. 
"get ahold of me or Adeline if you're interested. Well, goodnight."
