- Missionary
The morning breeze was cold, and that meant it must've been really cold. Luckily it wouldn't effect our journey, if you're cold you deal with it... But we're always cold, aren't we.
Everyone was up, they'd even let one or two of the Newborns out, I knew I'd be seeing a lot more of them in the near future. Rose came over to me, she was carrying something.
"Exited for today?" Her tone was warmer than usual. I hope this wasn't just because she was getting rid of me.
"I suppose I am, I haven't been out of the country yet..." I tried to smile but I was a little nervous.
"Well I brought you some necessities. Lets just say you haven't met the full Lessen clan..."
I looked at her seriously. "Are you joking? There's more of them!" I looked at the pile she was holding.
Clothes, Loads of them.
"You'll be dining out every night. They're the richest clan you'll have come across so no more converse for you." She gave me a cheeky smile and swapped into a whisper. "There's also a mobile in there, check the notes."
She handed me the clothes pile and walked back towards her caravan. Still trying to put the pieces together Sven came over, he didn't look too pleased. Couldn't he see I was busy.
"Why aren't you packed Ava! We're leaving in twenty minuets! Here let me take these for you."
I pulled away quickly. "I'm fine Sven, I'll see you in ten minuets." I walked away smiling to myself, I was one sweet bitch.
As soon as I was in my caravan I knew no one would disturb me, I made sure they were all watching my conversation with Sven. I unfolded most of the garments until I found the mobile. I went straight into my notes, they were written out like instructions.
(1) I've put a password on your texts and calls, its 1352. Always lock your phone.
(2) Now Ava, you're not exactly going to Denmark just to find Possible Newborns, I need you to do something for me. I need you to spy on the brothers. No one can know what you're doing. Only three of us know. Me, you and Erik. Erik will help you, there was no way I could keep this from him with his sort of power. He'll help you.
(3) Wait for me to text you.
I put the phone down and shoved the garments into my holdall. I hadn't even had the chance to look at them, I'd have to wait until I reached the Lessens. I grabbed the phone and put it in my coat pocket and went over to my bedside table draw. I had three keys, one to the caravan, another for Rose's home and the last... I knew I'd never use it again but I couldn't let go of it. It was the key to my old family home, when I was human. It reminded me of my childhood. I also put them in my coat.
I dragged my bag out of the caravan and locked its doors. Rose, Rich and the Newborns would be gone in a few days, I guessed they'd take the caravans with them, or hide them somewhere. While walking towards car park my skirt got caught in one of the wheels on my bag. Shit. I bent down and tried to release it. With a bit of a pull and tiny rip it came free. I didn't have this sort of time to sit around and clean it up. I picked up my bag and rushed further down the path. Soon I arrived in the small dark car park and to my surprise there was one, two seater truck parked in the middle surrounded by everyone. Fred came over and lifted my bag into the back of the truck. I looked at Rose in question. I didn't see Erik anywhere.
"Okay Ava, Sven and Fred will take the Truck... You and Erik are going on Horseback."
I gasped and looked at Erik, Was he seriously expecting me to take a horse. I couldn't even ride a bike! I know, I know, I'd been around for sixty seven years and I couldn't ride a horse, or a bike. As I'd said before, I was pretty useless, only good for guarding cellars. Not anymore I guess. Rose must have seen my reaction.
"I'm only kidding Ava, but while you're in Denmark you'll have to learn. Erik just getting the other car."
I let out a sigh of relief, anyway I'd soon be alone with Erik, I could find out what was really happening.
