Chapter twoA Chapter by ShadowWalkerThe Pub was relatively quiet when Zach and Kano entered, Three middle aged men sat at the bar drinking Guinness and an elderly couple were in the booth nearest the entrance. Kano led the way up to the bar and Zachary fell in behind. ''Two pints of Guinness please barkeep'' Kano said ''I'm gonna need to see some identification son!'' The bar tender replied, Kano leaned forward over the counter and looked the gentleman square in the eye, asserting dominance over his subconscious before saying ''I don't need Id you know me, I'm of age'' ''Of course i didn't recognize you for a moment there sorry, Two pints was it? go take a seat and i will bring them over'' ''Thank you'' Kano said handing him a Fifty ''Keep the change'' Both men made their way over to the corner booth and sat down opposite each other.The rain had started again, a torrential downpour unusual for this time of year. ''This weather reminds me of home'' Zach stated not really speaking to anyone in particular. ''Where is home?'' Kano quizzed with genuine interest ''And here i was thinking you knew everything about me.'' Zach said mockingly ''Not everything! I know of your brief history with Tayla, I am aware that after you turned you stayed with her for a few months. I even know that you where in love with her and she betrayed you and so you tried to kill her only for her to gain the upper hand and escape.'' Kano revealed, Zach waited a few moments before replying ''Not my fondest memories alas we all have our burdens do we not?'' ''Indeed we do'' Kano agreed ''Why have you sought me out now? there must be a reason'' Zach queried looking directly into his youthful companions eyes searching for an answer. ''In order to answer that i will need to start at the beginning, I created Tayla and i fell in love with her, i told her many things among them the story of my origin'' ''Yes she told me about that'' Zach added ''After she learned of my history and my brothers issues with sunlight she betrayed me and went off in search of my twin, her goal was to offer him the chance of his own army of daystalkers created by her and through her loyal to him.'' ''Obviously she was unsuccessful, when i met her she was on the run'' Zach interjected ''Yes my brothers loyalty is as fickle as her own, After she had created three he no longer had need of her but she is a slippery one, She knew he was going to come after her so she left for the new world.'' ''What happened to your brother?'' ''Last i heard he was in Roma, He won't cross the ocean yet not until he knows he can kill me and right now he can't.'' ''Why have you not killed him? you have had millennia to do it?'' Zach queried, Clearly engrossed in the history lesson. ''I Haven't killed him because he is my brother, eventually i will have to but Tayla dies first then we move on to Draco.'' ''We? are you saying you want me to help kill your brother?'' Zach asked somewhat bemused at the direction the conversation was heading. ''Lets just say for now i am looking for help in taking out Tayla after that who knows, we may even end up being friends.'' '' Not likely, i get the impression you would kill me first chance you got'' Zach said only half joking ''Ha ha you speak your your mind, A quality i admire and after more than a thousand years of solitude maybe i need a friend, Someone i can trust'' Kano said ''Well as your friend i have to say after a thousand years of solitude it's not a friend you need but a women.'' Zach remarked with a smirk ''No doubt you are correct, I will find you tomorrow and we can see if we can come up with a plan to catch the evil blood s**t.'' Kano announced, As he left he slid a piece of paper across the table, it had a phone number written on it ''Just in case you need to reach me.'' Kano winked and in the blink of an eye he was gone. © 2012 ShadowWalkerReviews
