Part II Chapter 1 First encounter Long, Mei Ling and Si Lin arrived at Kai Tak Airport with their luggage and proceeded to the check in counter. It was odd that Si Lin did not react much when she heard that Long would be joining them. Instead, she was light hearted about it stating that it would be nice to have a man around. Her statement made Long beamed. When the check in was done, they proceeded to the departure hall to board the plane. The plane taxied to the runway and flew off towards Singapore. They landed in Singapore Changi Airport in the evening. After collecting their luggage, the trio headed towards the exit of the arrival hall. Mei Ling saw an A3 sized paper with Chu Mei Ling written on it and acknowledged. The man led them to a waiting car and helped them to load their luggage into the trunk. Long sat in the front while the girls sat at the back. The taxi drove out of the airport towards Orchard Road. Along the way, they were greeted by lush greenery and flowers at the road side making their ride a pleasant one. As it travelled away from the airport, there were no more flowers but the lush greenery still greeted them. The trio checked in to Mandarin Hotel which Mei Ling had booked 3 rooms prior to arriving in Singapore. They agreed to have dinner at the Chatterbox that they had heard so much about when they were in Hong Kong just as soon as they had washed up and put on fresh clothing. Making their way up to their rooms, Si Lin noticed that her room was next to Longs and Mei Lings was opposite theirs. Was this Mei Lings idea? Mei Ling smiled at them both as she entered her room. It was a modest room with the usual amenities a 5 star hotel would have for its rooms. Mei Ling plopped down on the bed letting out a sigh and kicking off her shoes. She closed her eyes to relax breathing evenly for a few minutes and turned to look at the clock, it was 7.30pm she had better get out of her travel clothes and meet Long and Si Lin for dinner at the Chatterbox. Pulling herself up from the bed, she stripped then walked to the bathroom for a quick shower. Mei Ling would usually be the first to arrive for any appointments. This time however, she was the last to arrive much to the delight of her friends. It was a symbolic moment for them. She could see their faces beamed when she arrived at the hotel lobby. Mei Ling had expected to hear some remarks from them. It did not come. The trio walked towards the Chatterbox, Mei Ling noticed a sign board that advertised a lounge on the second floor that offered nice piano music. They stood at the entrance waiting to be seated. A minute later, a waitress showed them to their seat and they sat down. It took them awhile before they ordered the house special Chatterbox Chicken Rice. Aside from that, they ordered Oolong tea and 15 sticks of Satay along with its Ketupat and peanut sauce because they were curious about the dish. Shall we head up to Top M after dinner? Long asked as he looked at the small card that was on the table. What is Top M Long ke? Si Ling asked. Its a discotheque. he said plainly playing with the card. Arent you a little too old for that Long ke? Mei Ling asked. She could not place the pragmatic Long in such a rowdy place. In the years that she had known him, never had he gone to such a place. Of course not. The Disco has no age limit. Shall we go later? he asked again a little irritated by Mei Lings remarks. I will go with you Long ke. Si Lin said sweetly. Mei Ling smiled inwardly when Si Lin readily agreed to go with Long. You guys go on ahead and have fun. I will go that lounge on the second floor to enjoy some piano music. she said when their order was served. Are you sure you do not want to Mei Ling? he asked as he ate the Satay which he found to be a little spicy for his taste. Yes, I am. Go! Have fun! she said smiling at them. When they were done with dinner and after they had talked for a bit, Long and Si Lin stood up and walked out of the Chatterbox. He led the way holding Si Lins wrist. Mei Ling paid the check then proceeded to the lounge on the second floor. As she climbed the flight of stairs leading to the lounge, she could sense a presence. It was as if a vampire was nearby. Mei Ling stopped half way up to ascertain that what she felt was not because she was overly sensitive. The feeling was gone. She shook her head then proceeded to climb the stairs. Mei Ling took her seat in the lounge when a familiar tune was being played by the pianist that made her looked at him. Ballade pour Adeline was played exquisitely. The notes flowed freely to her ears. Mei Ling closed her eyes to enjoy the serenity the music brought her and for a brief moment, she found herself in a different world. It made her smile, the music soothed her soul. When it ended, she clapped along with the other patrons in the lounge. Unlike others, Mei Ling could again sense that presence awhile ago when she climbed the stairs. She tried and failed to pin point the location which puzzled her. She was sure that it was a vampire that she could not pin point its location despite being able to sense it. Mei Ling stood up and walked down the stairs towards the lifts that would bring her to her room. She could not risk any civilian being hurt should a battle ensued. She rode the lift to the 10th floor then got out of it and walked to her room. The presence was even more acute while she walked along the hallway. She stopped. I know you are here somewhere. Show yourself. she challenged and waited. There wasnt anyone around. The brightly lit lavish silent hallway was empty. It made her wonder if she what she felt was because of fatigue. She continued to make her way to her room and let herself in and put the security card in the slot. The lights came on. Mei Ling walked to the bathroom to clean up. As she washed her face, she sensed it again. This time, it was strong. It was as if the person was behind her. She looked in the mirror and all she saw was her own reflection. She turned around swiftly and saw no one. Shaking her head and smiling to herself, she felt silly. She told herself that she was tired and walked out of her bathroom. What she saw in her bedroom near her bed stopped her in her tracks getting ready to defend herself. A 1.78 meter tall man stood with his hands tucked in his pockets. He had clean cut hair, gaunt look, pale skin and wearing a black leather jacket, jeans and sneakers. Hello Xiao Lin. It has been a long time. he greeted. I am not Xiao Lin. Who are you and why are you here? Mei Ling asked puzzled as to why he had called her by that name. That is a pity. What happened to her? he asked ignoring Mei Lings question as he paced the floor sizing her up. I do not have to tell you. Do I? Ah... as feisty as Xiao Lin. Are you here to finish what she failed to? he remarked smirking a little at Mei Ling. What are you talking about? You better get out of here before I kill you, vampire. she threatened. Such an uncouth and violent girl! the vampire remarked ignoring her threat. I could sense your presence the moment you left the airport. It was curious that you have the same aura as Xiao Lin. Take my advice go back to where you came from. The next time we meet, I wont be this hospitable. Consider this your only warning. he said flashing his fangs as he smiled and vanished chuckling softly. It was a strange yet familiar encounter. Mei Ling could not make heads of tail about what had been said by the vampire. He was not intimidated by her. The coolness in his voice told her that. What puzzled her were his words as feisty as Xiao Lin. Are you here to finish what she failed to? What did he mean by that? She did not recall anyone by that name in the ancestral tree that her grandmother had shown and given her. She took out a small box and fished the ancestral tree diagram out of the box. Spreading the diagram on the table, she examined it. Mei Ling was the only 4th generation slayer. At the bottom left hand corner, there was a faint remark The slayer that never came Xiao Lin. It did not make sense to her. Xiao Lin was a slayer that never came? Did it mean that she was not regarded to be in the lineage? Why wasnt she? What happened? Most importantly, who was she? It made her wonder why her grandmother did not tell her about Xiao Lin. She sat at the desk for a few minutes pondering over what had happened and was no wiser. Sighing, she folded the diagram and put it back into the box. Mei Ling decided to go to bed and wished that her grandmother was still alive. She would be able to shed light on this matter. Tossing and turning in her bed, Mei Ling could not shake off the vampire words out of her head as feisty as Xiao Lin. Are you here to finish what she failed to? it lingered in her thoughts when sleep took over. Si Lin slow danced with Long. Her body was not press too close to his as he put his hands around her waist. Si Lin swayed her hip slowly to the rhythm of the slow music unaware that she had rubbed against his crotch. The slow dance was mesmerising and enchanting bringing her to another world she never knew existed. Being in that state, Si Lin wanted to feel a tongue in her mouth while she pressed her breasts against the chest. She imagined that she was in bed with someone who she yearned for, it was not Long and felt warmth between her legs. Her heart pounded fast at the image that she had in her mind. Wondering if she should just tell the person how she felt, Si Lin gave a soft sigh. Si Lin could feel Longs lips closing on hers. She turned her face away from him, his lips touched her cheek. It made her blush a little and knowing that she may have hurt his feelings she explained that she was not ready for such an intimate act yet. Long smiled telling her that he understood. They continued to dance with her keeping a small gap in between them. The slow music ended, she broke away from him telling him gently that she was tired and would like to retire for the night. Long escorted her back to her room and bade good night at the door step. Once back in her own room, she stripped then laid on her bed with her legs spread. Cupping her breast and squeezing it she moaned softly. Her hand automatically reached down to where her womanhood was then began to rub it up and down sending vibes of pleasures thru out her body. As she teased her own womanhood, Si Lin arched her back and tilted her head letting out moans of ecstasy. The desire for someone to make love to her was intensified as she inserted a finger into her sex. Moving and twirling her finger inside herself, every fibre in her body reacted to the vibes of pleasure that she was giving herself. Eventually, she climaxed. Panting a little and catching her breath, her body felt light and boneless. She did not bother to clean up letting it flow and slept thru the night blissfully. - End of Chapter 1 -
