Chapter 14: Among us

Mikael had slept in Shani's clinic chair last night, which he was thankful for, because it was free, well kind of, Shani will give him a task in the future.

After he slept, he woke up late, as he and Shani played Gwent all night yesterday, which was quite fun, he never felt challenged by someone other than her again, 10/10, would play with her again. They both slept on the floor, tired from all the bickering when they played Gwent. Next morning, he woke up, seeing Shani fast asleep in front of him. He took a blanket near him, and placed it on her, after that, he wore his usual clothing, wrote a note on a paper for Shani that he was going away for a little, and walked away from the clinic, claiming his money from the army office.

Right now though, he was checking out the notice board, searching for jobs again.

"Frying pan wanted… this dude's still looking for his pan? Clown wanted… nope, Need a Beau to Accompany Me to a Friend's Wedding… interesting, but I'm not a date for hire, And… oh, vampires among us?"

Mikael took the notice poster, and read the information inside the poster.

"Need a hunter to kill a vampire that looms around my brothel, reward: 2000 Crowns, 10 free nights with the girls… This looks great."

Mikael nodded to himself, he looked around, and to see if there's any signs that lead to the brothel said in the poster, he saw one, and walked to the brothel instantly.

As the yellow sunset rays shone on the beautiful town of Oxenfurt, Mikael had arrived in the brothel. It was quite small, it's an academic town after all, not like those brothels in Novigrad.

He knocked on the door, still wearing his cloak, and it seems that it's not open yet, and they're still preparing.

"We're still closed!" shouted a woman inside.

"I'm here for the job?" shouted Mikael back. "I heard you're looking for vampire hunters?"

There was no answer at first, but then, the door opened, revealing a rather old woman, but she has this seductress aura around her.

The woman scanned Mikael, and whistled. "My girls would surely like you…"

"Thanks, but I'm here for the job."

"Sure." hummed the woman, as she let Mikael in. She told him to sit.

"So, what's this vampire you talked about in the poster." he asked, putting the poster on the table.

"Yea, My girls been attacked by vampires." she complained. "Two's dead, the best one at that."

"The best one?"

The woman hummed. "She collects the most out of all my girls, a crown making machine…"

"Where was she attacked?"

"She was found dead at the back." answered the woman. "Her throat was cut open, and her ears are bleeding."

"Ears bleeding?"

"Yeah, her drum's been destroyed for some reason."

"Interesting…" murmured Mikael. "Any more… details?"

"Not that I know of…" continued the woman. "That's all I know really."

"What about the army?"

"They refused to believe that it was vampires." snorted the woman. "But I'll tell you, it is vampires, Two's body was drained from blood."

Mikael hummed. He looked around, the girls weren't in the brothel yet.

"Does Two have any… rivalries with your other girls?"

"Not that I know of…" shrugged the woman. "But I heard some bickering a couple weeks earlier."

"Who?"

"Two, and a new girl of mine, Valma."

"What's Valma like?"

The woman frowned. "What's Valma got to do with this?"

"I'm just asking some questions…"

The woman looked at Mikael suspiciously, and sighed. "She's new, the men liked her as she was quite young, but Two's still more attractive than her."

"Where's Valma now?" questioned Mikael.

The woman frowned. "Why do you ask?"

"Just asking some questions to her, as well as your other girls too."

"They're upstairs." she said. "But no touching."

Mikael snorted as he stood up. "Not that desperate to r*pe a prostitute."

He then walked up to the stairs, guided by the woman. As they got up, he smelled the smell of sweat, mixed with incense.

"Incense?" questioned Mikael.

"It was Valma's idea. Quite a good smell innit?"

Mikael just hummed. And they both entered a room full of women.

The women looked at Mikael, and grinned. Some whistled, some stared at him hungrily, but some looked at him suspiciously.

"Mistress, who's this~" questioned a girl. "A customer?"

"Settle down, girls." the mistress commanded. "He's a hunter, he's going to ask questions for a while."

"Is this about Two?"

"Yes, it is Sylvie," said the Mistress. "So girls, behave."

""Yes, mistress.""

The woman nodded, and turned to Mikael. "Then I'll leave it to you, again, no touching."

"Sure."

The woman then exited the room, leaving Mikael alone with the horny girls. He looked around, and saw the one who didn't look at him angrily, instead, suspiciously.

Mikael pointed at the woman. "What's your name?" he asked.

The girl frowned. "I'm not going to bed with you, you smelled horrible."

"Name." repeated Mikael.

"Valma." she said. "Why do you ask?"

"You bickered with Two?"

Valma showed disgust in her expression, but hid it quickly. "It's just a normal fight."

"Why?"

"She stole my client." she answered. "It was a client that I really wanted."

Mikaele hummed. "Is that really worth the fight?" he questioned, not to Valma, but to the others.

"Sometimes," A girl said. "When a handsome man like you entered our brothel, which was rare, we often rushed to him, tried to get him to our bed."

"How's that relevant for Two's death?" Valma questioned.

"Not really, just curious." shrugged Mikael. "You two close?"

"Not at all." she scoffed. "Quite a stuck up bitch I might say."

Mikael just chuckled. "Alright, I guess that's enough."

"That's all, not gonna question us one by one?" a girl seductively said. "We could REALLY be talkative you now~ especially in bed~~"

"Sorry girls, I need to do my job right now." chuckled Mikael. "I'll get some coupons after this though, I might try to use it."

"Then we'll be waiting~"

Another girl said as Mikael exited the room. He walked downstairs, and he saw the mistress, sitting impatiently.

"Have you finished?" she questioned.

"Yes, just need to check where Two was found now."

"It's in the back." she said, asking Mikael to follow her. She opened the door to the back, and Mikael entered the back.

After that, she closed the door, letting Mikael do his job.

He looked around, blood everywhere. He saw the bloodstains from the slashing of Two's throat, and examined it.

"Quite a rough stain for a knife or sword slash…" murmured Mikael. "Definitely claws."

He then walked to the place where Two's body had been found, and saw minimal blood stains. "Drained of blood… as there's no blood pool, or has been cleaned…"

He looked towards the sky, the moon was now shining brightly, the stars sparkling dimly around it.

Suddenly, someone– something pounced on Mikael from above. The humanoid creature was glued to him from the bite, before it bit Mikael in the neck.

Mikael winced in pain a little, before slamming his back to the wall, effectively knocking the thing from his back.

He turned around, and saw a female, naked, her skin pale as snow, and her mouth full of blood.

"A bruxa, in a brothel?" said Mikael to himself as the bruxa hissed at him. But then, the bruxa froze, her eyes widened as she looked at Mikael, full of fear.

She then held her neck, and tried to breath. She gasped in pain on the ground, trying to stay alive.

"Nice try Valma," said Mikael. "But you sucked my blood, a mistake."

The woman from the inside suddenly rushed towards the back, seeing the scene.

"What just happened?! I felt shaki-" she looked at the vampire, and exclaimed. "I knew it!"

The bruxa just kept trying to breathe as her neck slowly rotted, she looked at Mikael in panic and fear, she wanted to talk, but couldn't.

"It's Valma." said Mikael, grabbing the bruxa's hair, showing it to the mistress.

"W-What?!" shrieked the woman. "H-How?!"

"Bruxa hunts attractive men," he said. "That's why when a handsome man came to your brothel, she would do anything to get him. After she fucked him, she'll drink his blood. Not sure why a bruxa would work in a brothel though."

As he looked at the bruxa,he saw that  her neck was completely rotten, he pulled the hair a little bit, and the head was easily detached from the body.

"I've done my job." he said, showing the head.

"Y-Yes…" the woman stammered. "I suppose I'll give you the reward now, wait a second will you? A-and watch for the c-corpse… who knows… might resurrect…"

Mikael hummed as the woman entered the brothel once again. He touched his neck, it was bleeding a bit, he could feel the bite, and shrugged as he looked towards the full moon again, shining brightly on the night sky.
