The council was scheduled to meet later that night, the moon had risen to its peek and the elders gathered in Asha's office. They exchanged meaningless banter until Ishtar joined them.
Bashaa sat at Asha's desk while Marduk, Arshaka and sekhemet scattered across the room.
Ishtar grew more inpatient with each passing moment and finally she rose to her feet "shall we call this meeting to order?" she suggested impatiently and took her seat by Asha.
The meeting lasted several hours whilst Mikaël sat by Gabriel's side. The former German soldier seemed to be at ease, not regretting his actions, as if he'd done nothing wrong.
Mikaël paced through the room closing the black tinted windows and the heavy curtains. In the early hours of day break, the council had finished their discussions. They had come to an almost unanimous decision. sekhemet was chosen to bring the news to the awaiting Gabriel.
Bashaa and the remaining Elders had come to the conclusion that the gift of immortality had corrupted Gabriel, it made him reckless and inconsiderate towards other beings.
The elders saw to it that the punishment fit the crime. Gabriel had inflicted so much suffering upon Alex, that it was only fair for him to suffer the same fate.
He was sentenced to death, thrown to the lycans. It was the most cruel and painful way to die for a vampire, letting the werewolf venom consume you from within.
Sekhemet mourned Gabriel but more so, she pitied Iris, Gabriel's mate and lover.
Alexandra was stuck in an unknown dimension, consumed by darkness with no light to be seen. No matter how loud she yelled, the only reply she found was the echo of her own quivering voice.
Sometimes she would see flashes of light, she'd hear a distant voice, barely above a whisper. But it was never loud enough for her to decipher the words.
Her limbs and torso were paralysed, a dull throbbing of pain emanated from her neck but it slowly faded leaving Alex disoriented.
Alexandra had no idea how long She'd stayed like this, it may have been minutes, it may have been months, but it felt like an eternity to her.
The darkness that surrounded her began to shift, slowly a soft light began to spread. A certain warmth tingled at the tips of her limbs. Somehow sensations became clearer, more defined. A veil of cloudiness was lifted off Alex's conscious and slowly she began to rise from her paralytic slumber.
The sun had set once more and Gabriel was sent away to a different facility, awaiting his execution. The German vampire seemed unphased by what he'd done. He showed no regret, no remorse.
The council members went their separate ways, some went out into the city to explore while others gathered to discuss literature and art, a few remaining of the vampires headed to the training facility with their creators.
Ishtar retreated to her chamber with Glad tagging along to share a glass of wine. as for Asha, she took her honorary place as Dj for the night.
More than half an hour into her set, the redhead spotted someone to her liking in the crowd. She relinquished her place to their resident Dj Jade, who gladly took over.
Alex's eyes burst open as she gasped for air. She blinked frantically trying to get her pupils to focus, trying to shake the blurriness away. Once her vision cleared, she hurriedly tried to sit up but as soon as she attempted to, the room began to spin and Alexandra felt light headed and weary.
She reached out and grasped at the edge of the nightstand and steadied herself, Alex inched her legs over the edge of the bed and planted her bare feet onto the cold hardwood floor.
The blonde managed with great effort to get on her feet and leave the room, half stumbling over her own two feet.
The hallway she stumbled into was dimly lit, Alex peered from left to right, the hallway seemed to stretch forever in either direction.
As if by impulse, the blonde lunged forward off the wall she had been leaning against and took the right end of the hallway. Alex checked every door on either side of the hall, but each one she tried had been locked.
She wondered where she was and how she'd gotten here, her thoughts overwhelmed by the urgent need to escape....
Alexandra was about to quit and run down the hall when she spotted, a few feet ahead, a door that was left ajar. She hurriedly made her way towards it and pushed it open.
As she took in the sight before her, Alex froze, unable to find any words.
Before her stood a partly naked redhead that's seemed rather familiar to the blonde, those haunting eyes...she'd seen them before. But where? Where had she seen the breathtaking woman?
As realisation dawned upon her, Alex's eyes widened and she retreated back into the hallway. She was getting red to run once more when something stopped her, the expression on the redhead's face morphed from idle into a confused and worried, almost compassionate, look as she spotted Alex standing in the doorway.
Alex glanced around the room noticing the brunette girl that sat at the bottom of what she assumed was the redhead's bed.
Before she could make a move to leave Asha spoke up
"Alexandra, please stay, we have matters to discuss you and I " the redhead spoke as she pulled a shirt over her head.
Alex was mesmerized by the beautiful red headed woman's voice. it was extremely melodic, like the voice of an angel, Alexandra thought but shook the thoughts away rapidly.
She glanced at the brunette once more wondering if she should stay or leave, but Asha had caught her glancing towards the girl sitting uncomfortably on the bed.
Asha cleared her throat and Alex's eyes snapped up to meet the vampire's, the redhead's green orbs burning their mark into Alex's soul.
Alexandra pointed towards the brunette who seemed just as confused as she was and was about to speak but was cut off by Asha who looked at the girl idly then spoke "she was just about to leave, we need clear some things Alex, mind if I call you Alex?"
A confused look crossed Alex's features and she hesitantly nodded, her eyes trailing after the brunette who merely picked up her shirt and left, her actions almost automatic and emotionless.
Alex let the thought go and looked at the redhead
"take a eat Alex, we have a lot to discuss" she spoke pointing to a leather chair opposite to the bed
"like what?! I don't even know who you are!" Alex protested, her voice weak and strained.
Asha smiled sweetly as she sat at the foot of her bed "my bad, ma name's Asha, have a seat and I'll explain everything" she reassured the blonde and proceeded to get dressed.
Alex sat in the leather chair but her eyes wandered to Asha's body, she couldn't resist the urge to look at the beautiful redhead before her. Alex's eyes wandered up shapely creamy white thighs to a narrow yet curvy waist to a toned and tattooed stomach. Alex felt a blush creep onto her features as she looked at Asha. The redhead sensed Alex's eyes on her and smirked teasingly.
The blonde was snapped out of her gawkingwhen Asha cleared her throat, a mischievous grin playing on her lips
"like what you see?" she asked tauntingly as she pulled her hair into a high ponytail, giving Alex a great view of her abs as they flexed.
Alex immediately looked away and cleared her throat "so....Asha, what is there to talk about other than..." she paused for a moment considering her words "well since you obviously know who I am and where we are and I don't"
Alex stood up, feeling the urge to pace around the room to avoid looking at Asha, who was still shirtless.
"how about you calm down, stop pacing and you can start off by telling me what you remember?" Asha suggested as she stood up and took Alex's hand leading her to sit at the foot of the bed, Asha sitting extremely close to her.
Alex's mind went blank when Asha's skin made contact with hers, she felt a bolt of electricity course through her body, leaving a tingling sensation.
Alex tried to remember what happened before she blacked out and woke up...
The blonde began to get lost in her thoughts and a faraway look drew itself on her features. Asha waited for a few minutes hoping Alex would have a very brief recollection of that night's events, and as the minutes passed by, she became more anxious that Alex would fall back into her comatose stare.
Asha took Alex's chin between her index and thumb turning the blonde's face towards her, Asha broke the silence and called out to the girl
"Alex are you okay?" but the blonde was unresponsive, Asha tried several times before snapping her fingers in front of Alex's face and raising her voice "Alexandra! Snap out of it!"
Alex snapped out of her reverie and shook her head, she looked up swiftly and her eyes caught the vampire's.
It was as it they were both transfixed by the other's intense stare.
Alexandra was set adrift within tumultuous oceans of kryptonite green whilst Asha was lost in swiveling pools of silvery grey. Alexandra's eyelids half closed as she leaned into Asha's touch slowly releasing a ragged breath.
Asha examined the girl's features intently, from her perfect golden hair that fell perfectly down her shoulders to her slightly knotted eyebrows and her half-closed eyes, finally to her pink kissable lips where Asha's gaze lingered.
The redheaded vampire leaned in ever so slowly and brushed her lips against Alexandra's, the blonde inhaled deeply before reciprocate the kiss with a fiery passion.
Alex rested her hands on Asha's hips while reclining onto the comfortable bed pulling the redhead on top of her. Without any hesitation, Asha straddled the blonde, placing a knee in between Alex's slightly parted thighs.
Alex let out a soft moan as Asha's body fell flush against hers, moving in perfect rhythm while Asha's knee pressed into Alex's core.
Asha's hand slipped under the hem of Alexandra's shirt, the redhead dragging her nails down the blonde's stomach eliciting another moan, Alexa was intoxicated by the woman's scent like that of exotic wild fruit, she was captivated by the softness of Asha's lips and the heated salsa that their tongues were dancing.
'what the Hell am I doing?' a fleeting thought crossed Alex's mind just as she began to break free of Asha's addictive essence, suddenly she realised she still didn't know where she was, better yet, she didn't even know who she was kissing. The only thing she knew about the redhead was her name and she even doubted that.
Alex hastily pulled away from the passionate liplock and moved up the bed and away from Asha who let out a frustrated groan at the loss of contact. Alexandra shot off the bed panting, eyes wide at what she'd just done
