bright figure kneeling in front of her. "Yes little one, it's me.", He speaks with such a calming way in his voice that Drû would like to cuddle up to him and just fall asleep. "Where are we?" Searching, Yanurus looks around, and then looks back to Drû. The way she lies there and looks like she's on drugs, he grins automatically. "We're on target. Are you okay?" He asks with concern in his voice. "Well ... the little cartoon birds circling around my head are a bit annoying, but otherwise everything is fine."With Yanuru's help, she stands up, looks around, and wrinkles her nose." What kind of rat hole is that again? ", she asks contemptuously when she sees the gloomy alley in which they are. Apart from them there is no one to be seen, only a cat hiding behind the many garbage cans that are in the alley and pollute the air. In none the windows that surround the alley have lights on, and the houses are so high that it seems as if they are moving closer and closer together, every few minutes a little further. "We are in Europe my love ... what did you expect? In Europe there are only disgusting little streets, disgusting big houses and, above all, disgusting people, in all imaginable shapes and sizes ... "Yanurus gets up and helps Drû on his feet." I can walk myself! ", she hisses at him, although she knows that he only meant well. Yanurus carefully lets go of her and steps back a little.
Drû stands a little crooked and tries to keep his balance.But somehow everything seems to be spinning ... The floor seems to give way somehow under their weight. I'm not that heavy either! , Drû thinks morosely. Staggering a little, she tries to stay on her feet, but then tips over to the side. Yanurus is there quickly and gently catches them. "Damn it again, that's not possible!", Drû scolds and furrows his forehead angrily. Yanurus helps her to her feet again, and slowly they walk down the alley together. "Where are we going now?" "First we need a shelter." "But this time something sensible, yes ??? Not a shack like the last time in Kanivaíl." "Yes my sweet, this time something that is also worthy of you , after all, the best is just good enough for you. ", Yanurus tries to reassure her, because the last thing he can use now is a companion who doesn't speak to him all day, because Drû is really good at that. "I want this house.", she says, when the two have just left the alley and discover a mighty mansion on their right." That is far too obvious. "" Yanuschatz, you promised me everything I want. And now I want this house. ", she says defiantly, and stamps her foot on the floor. Yanurus rolls his eyes, but is very happy that Drû has ​​not seen it." Well, if you really want this cursed house, then you should get too, my darling. "He takes her by the hand and they walk up the hill together. Drû is still a little dizzy, so she hooks herself to Yanurus halfway through. The light is still on in the old mansion, Yanurus quickly looks through one of the windows . "It's a family, mother, father and two sons, all very handsome. "He says, giving Drû a brief briefing on the situation. She just nods, then knocks twice on the large front door. After a few seconds it is opened to her, Yanurus is back with her in the meantime."Would you like, please?" Asks a butler. Damn, I just hadn't noticed that. Echoes Yanuru's voice in Drû's head. "We would like to dine with the noble people. I am Lord Tanler, owner of the local bank. This is my wife, Lady Chantall Tanler.", Says Yanurus puffily, Drû tries to suppress the laughter that rages inside her. The butler looks them over briefly and then leads them into the drawing room. "Lord and Lady Tanler.", He says loudly into the room and disappears back into the hallway. "Who are you? I don't remember having invited you." "You know, we like to come unannounced, that makes it somehow more exciting." Now Yanurus is no longer pretending to be. He slowly approaches the man, his wife tries to hide behind him, which she does very well with her husband's corpulence. Meanwhile, Drû kneels down next to the two boys, one is 5 the other at most 7. "What are you doing fine here?", She asks, with a twinkle in her eyes.When the two do not answer, she takes the floor again. "You are two really, really bad boys. You answer when you are asked something by a lady. Now I have no choice but to punish you, it definitely doesn't hurt either." A grin graces her lips, her eyes beam with anticipation. Yanurus is turning away from the two people, whose bodies are now lying motionless on the ground, a small trickle of blood flowing down their necks. He goes into the hallway, walks down the hall and follows the smell of the butler. When he found him, he made short work of him too. Drû is already standing on the stairs when he leaves the kitchen again. "I'm going to sleep. Will you put it away, will you, my darling? Then we will discuss where to look next." "Are you waiting for me in bed?" Days. "" Which is certainly still very, very far away, "says Yanurus with a grin. Drû smiles briefly and then disappears upstairs.Meanwhile, Yanurus sets about removing the corpses of the people. When he enters the living room he looks briefly at the two children. Drû must have had fun with them. She had put the two boys back down as normal; she had even put a wooden train in one of them. He smiles lost in thought ... She was an extraordinary woman. A little crazy ... well, not just something, but very crazy ... but that's exactly what he loved about her ...
First of all, Drû roamed the upper floor of the house. She discovered a bathroom, a study, a children's room with two beds, a bedroom with a spacious double bed and a walk-in closet, which she particularly liked. She had fun examining or trying on a wide variety of things. Even if Yanurus didn't like to see her wearing normal clothes. But with these things you really couldn't speak of "normal clothing".They were the finest clothes that one could wish for. Drû envied the landlord's wife for it, but considering the fate that had befallen her, she was probably not so bad off after all. Drû had never tried very hard to hide her origins or what she was now. Even if Yanurus kept reminding her that it was dangerous to reveal one's identity so openly. Lately many vampires had been killed here in Europe. It seemed to mutate into a national sport of killing creatures of the night. She yawns profusely. The journey through time and space had made her very tired, so she took one of the beautiful black lace nightgowns out of the closet, put it on and made herself comfortable in bed. , it didn't take very long and she fell asleep.
After Yanurus had put the residents of the house in a small storage room, he too climbed the stairs. He determined soberly that Drû had put on human clothes again.She just couldn't keep her hands off beautiful things, be it clothes or diamonds. When he entered the bedroom he had to smile. Drû lay curled up like a small child in the middle of the bed and looked as if she couldn't harm a fly. But Yanurus knew all too well that appearances are deceptive. He walked slowly around the bed, careful not to make any noises that woke her up. He carefully lay down next to her. when he looked down at her she looked at him with wide eyes. "Sorry if I woke you up." She only smiled briefly, gave him a gentle kiss and snuggled up against him. He put his arms around her and gently ran his right hand over her long black hair.
