Chapter 2 A Strange Visit

As the night wore on, Alex and Mia found themselves lost in conversation. Ask the talk about everything from their jobs to their favorite books and movies. Alex was surprised by how much he enjoyed Mia's company. She was smart, funny and beautiful. As they finished their dessert, Alex suggested they take a walk along the river. Mia agreed, and they strolled hand in hand enjoying the cool night air. As they walked, Alex couldn't help but notice the way Mia's hair shown in the moonlight. He felt a pang of desire, but he pushed it aside not wanting to ruin the moment. Suddenly, Mia stopped and turned to face him." Alex can I ask you something?", she said, her eyes sparkling with curiosity." Of course", Alex replied, his heart beating faster and faster.

"What do you do for a living?", Mia asked, her eyes narrowing slightly.

Alex hesitated, unsure of how much to reveal." I...... I work in finance", he said finally, trying to sound normal as possible. Mia raised an eyebrow,"Finance? That's interesting. I've never met anyone in finance who..... who seems so......", she trailed off, searching for the right words.

Alex's heart sank.Had he blown it?Had Mia discovered his secret?

But then she smiled and said,"...... so mysterious".

Just as Alex is about to breathe a sigh of relief, a figure images from the shadows. It's a woman with long curly hair and piercing green eyes. She's dressed in a black leather jacket and looks like she means business.

"Alex, darling", she says, her voice dripping with sarcasm." I see you're still playing with humans".

Alex eyes widened in surprise as the mysterious woman approached. Mia, sensing the tension took a step back.

"Who are you?", Mia asked, her voice firm but wary.

The woman smiled, her eyes glinting with amusement.

"I'm Sabine;she said,"An old friend of Alex's".

Alex's face was pale, and he looked like he'd been caught in a trap.

"Sabine, what the hell are you doing here?", he asked, his voice low and urgent.

Sabine chuckled."I could ask you the something,Alex.You're not exactly known for your..... social skills", she glanced at Mia,her eyes narrowing."And you're certainly not known for your taste in women".

Mia's eyes flashed with anger, but Alex intervened before things escalated.

"Sabine,stop",he said,his voice firm."This doesn't concern you".

Sabine raised an eyebrow."Oh , but it does concern me; she said."You see,Alex and I have a history.And I'm not about to let him ruin it with some....... human".

Sabine's eyes tend to cloud over ,and for a moment, Alex taught he saw a glimmer of sadness. But then ,her expression hardened and she smiled again.

"You see,Alex and I go way back; Sabine said,her voice dripping with malice."We were together, once......, centuries ago"...
