《A Vampire's Complications》Chapter Fourteen
Advertisement
Against everyone's better judgement, I decided to meet up with Donny. I only did so to come up with an understanding to put an end to some of the fighting. That way we didn't have to deal with the death of so many innocent people. The last attack was probably the hardest for us to recover from when the majority of the deaths were the children.
Donny had me meet him out in the middle of a park out in the open. He also knew that I wouldn't come alone and instructed all of the guards to keep their distance. It was the only way that he would keep his people away because he wasn't going to come alone either.
The night sky didn't hide the presence that Donny had. Just standing a few feet from him, I could sense that this was someone who was groomed to be a leader. I remember Ricky mentioning that he was never supposed to be the leader of the Seadonna family. It was a last minute decision his father made that caused his death.
"You didn't bring the ones I was expecting you to bring," Donny said the moment I took a seat next to him on a bench that the park provided along the walking path.
"I haven't seen David for a few days and Mike is too busy dealing with the aftermath of your little stunt that you had pulled," I told him straight out. Making him smirk out of amusement.
"I'm not as evil as they say I am," he defended himself.
"You sure have a way of proving it," I pointed out to him, "Aren't you sick of all of this fighting?"
He looked at me with his red eyes that glowed in the little bit of light we had, "I don't give orders other than to make Ricky's life difficult. What they do has nothing to do with me."

"Is that how a leader should be?" I asked him before standing up, "I only came because you threatened the only family I have left. What do you want?"
Donny stayed silent. He was quiet for so long that I turned to see if he was still there. Instead he was staring at me with studying eyes. The gaze was so intense that it made me shift uncomfortable, "What have you heard about me?"
"Other than that you were the original leader of the Seadonna family, but for some reason your father changed his mind. Then you killed him in a fit of rage," I answered, "Is there more to the story I need to know?"
He shook his head as he stood up from the bench, "That pretty much summarizes it. But my father changed his mind after he found my mother's letter. Why it took four years for that to surface could only mean that someone inside the family hid it."
It made sense with how he worded it. I was told that there have always been people like Donny long before he was born. It only made sense that someone wanted to have Donny as the leader no matter what. Then a thought popped in my head.
"We have a mole right now, don't we?" I said as I looked at him in shock.
He nodded his head, "One of my people is soulmates with one of your people. I know who it is, but it is your job to find out the answer. There would be no fun in that if I just gave you the answer."
As much as I wanted to be annoyed with him, I had other things to worry about. Like the fact that we had someone in the family that would sell us out to the enemy. With this information I had to talk to Ricky about it. See if he had just the same superstitions as his brother.

"Why are you telling me this?" I asked him.
"To show that I'm not as bad as they make me seem to be. I just have a temper," he answered, "I'm as saveable as some would like me to be."
He then turned and walked away. Making me realize that he never said anything about my father. He literally made me completely forget about the reason why I came here in the first place. Confused how he did that, I shouted after him, "What about my dad?"
He didn't even stop walking. Just looked over his shoulder at me and shouted, "I lied."
