Blessed by Night

Chapter 279: Accomodations

Currently, Malachi and Luna were staring in awe of a building that they had seen literally be created out of thin air.

From the outside, it looked like some sort of high rise apartment building.

Luna and Mal, both with their mouths wide open, stared at the great structure before turning to each other.

Without saying a word, the two of them ran inside like kids at an amusement park.

"Aww, they're so cute." Thea chuckled.

- 7 Minutes Later

"Well? What'd you think?" Thea asked with a proud smile.

The couple were absolutely speechless.

Thea had created a building that was almost exactly like the base they already had, but better.

The farming area? Bigger.

The cafe? BIGGER!

The quarters? Magic Mike XXL.

There were even certain amenities there that Luna didn't even consider during her construction of nightfall, like a public and private pool, gaming room, adult lounge with a fully stocked bar, and an entire medical floor, a real daycare area, and more.

"I know it's a lot, but I figured that since you guys are big on saving people I know you'll probably have a lot more bodies in the future, so I figured it would be best to over prepare a bit."

*Mal and Luna are currently stunned into silence.*

"Oh, but I meant to tell you that anything that you try to take with you when you leave will just disintegrate so long as it originated from here.

BUT to compensate for that, I can slow time down or speed it up in here as much as I like! Sweet, huh?"

*Mal and Luna are currently still stunned into silence.*

"Ah, what else am I forgetting... Oh, right since I can't recreate meat and all, we'll have to hunt it at first, so I hope you guys know how to get your hands dirty... On a random note, do you think you guys are allergic to monster meat?"

*Malachi & Luna. exe has stopped responding.*

Jasmine tapped her wife on the shoulder and shook her head sadly.

"Babe, I think you're overwhelming them just a bit. The light seems to have left their eyes."

Thea looked back at Mal and Luna only to realize that her wife was right.

"Ah... This must be a lot to take in, huh?" Thea said as she scratched her cheek in embarrassment. "Do you have any questions, or-"

""Are you a goddess...??""

"Not yet!" Thea said proudly.

"O-On a more serious note.." Luna began. "How are our members supposed to get to and from here easily? You all won't be around here forever, will you?"

"Nah, I'll be taking visits back home when I start to miss my parents too, so I'll give you something similar to a set of keys. Your hand please?"

Malachi shrugged as he warily gave Thea his hand.

Both Luna and Jasmine stared daggers into him, seemingly daring him to enjoy it in any way shape or form.

He found Luna to be cute, but was absolutely terrified of Jasmine, so he didn't even crack a smile.

Thea held up one of her fingers, and the tip started to glow.

She traced some sort of symbol or rune onto the top of his hand.

It glowed momentarily before disappearing like a mere trick of the light.

"There! Now all you need to do when you want to come here is hold it up to your mouth, say 'Base' and open any door.

Then, you'll appear right here or back in the base with no delay. Are you impressed yet?" She smiled.

""…Are you sure you aren't a goddes-""

"I'll take that as a yes!""

-

The next morning, a meeting was held over breakfast with the entire organization of Nightfall in attendance.

For the past four minutes, Malachi had been talking and trying to explain who the three tall, hot, and horned people behind him were.

But no one really seemed to listen to his actual words.

"So, I'm sure you all will be thrilled to know that from now on, there'll be no more patrols necessary. These three are officially acting as our very own private security, so we can all rest a lot easier."

Mal finally noticed that nobody was even following his words, and their eyes were mostly glued to the three inhumanely attractive siblings.

"I'll just let them introduce themselves then." he chuckled.

As soon as Mal stepped down, Apophis stepped forward with his hands behind his back like a trained soldier.

As soon as he opened his mouth to speak, multiple hands shot up.

"Uh...Yes?"

"I heard we're almost at capacity, so do you need a roommate!? On a completely unrelated note, I'm a gymnast."

Apophis smirked as his eyes found a familiar pink haired girl in the crowd.

"Thank you, but I think I'd like to stay with Miss Serana, if she'll have me."

Serana, who was in the middle of a glass of orange juice, was more than a little caught off guard and her eyes practically burst from her skull.

She quickly covered her face in embarrassment, hoping that he hadn't seen her beverage coming out of her nose. (He had)

While Serana was currently receiving envious gazes from almost every woman in the cafeteria, Nadine and Anna were only just getting off the elevator.

The vampire was currently giving the sleeping goth girl a piggyback ride, as Anna had declared that it was too early for her to be using her feet. (It was almost 10 am.)

"Don't jiggle me so much, you're making it hard to stay asleep…"

"You might as well wake up, how do you think you're gonna eat if you're unconscious?"

"Babe will feed me…"

Nadine started to laugh when she suddenly stopped dead in her tracks after leaving the elevator.

Her very pulse quickened, and she felt a panic set in that she hadn't experienced ever since coming to earth.

Her eyes darted over to the crowded seating area, where three individuals she had never seen before were standing among the crowd and introducing themselves.

Anna only opened her eyes when she noticed Nadine had stopped walking, and she gave her a curious poke on the cheek. "What's the holdup? I want pancakes…"

"Ah… I'm sorry, Anna, but could you go on ahead without me..? I'm suddenly not feeling all that well."

"Hm? You were just fine a moment ago though."

"I-I know, but it's just a a sudden stomach thing I'm feeling. I think being around food might make it worse."

"Umm… do vampires even get stomach bugs?" Anna asked suspiciously.

"Y-Yea, some do. They are kind of like allergies or morning sickness."

"D-Does that mean-"

"No, I'm not pregnant…!"

"Boo…" Anna sleepily crawled down from Nadine's back and gave her a hug before heading towards the cafe with everyone else.

"Feel better. I'll send Sei back down to check on you after we're done."

"Oh, that's… a-alright."

Nadine hurriedly ran back into the elevator and pressed the button that would take her back to their quarters.

As the doors slid closed, she accidentally locked eyes with the two horned men introducing themselves.

It was only for a moment, but as soon as the two of them saw her they glared at her with so much ferocity that she fell back onto her butt.

When the doors shut, Nadine curled up into a ball and tried to prevent herself from crying hysterically.

"Darling, I don't want to die… I don't want to die…!"
