V's Diary - Waiting Sucks

This is taken from the diary of Varekai Valentine.

I know I shouldn't be surprised, but the Council really wasted no time throwing me back into the fray. The night I got the email with my directions in it I was given a meet point, and once there a car picked me up and drove me to the closest facility. As it turns out there was a recently added one within three hours of where I was living, I suppose Ka probably knew that but to be honest I didn't care. It was stupid, but I'd hoped that they'd simply forgotten me. I'd once lived for this job but right now I want nothing more than to be curled up in bed with a certain florescent cat boy instead of sitting in some shitty hotel room waiting for an even shittier vampire to make his presence known.

I always hated the waiting part of this job. You'd think that a vampire hunter would have a life filled with excitement and I won't lie, a good bit of it is pretty damn exciting, but there's also a large part that's just sitting around and waiting. Those times were simply annoying before but now they're excruciating. If I'm moving, if I'm tracking and killing then I'm not thinking. Sitting here... well that's all I do.

I know I screwed Eilo up. I didn't think about it when I did it, I just thought he was a great challenge and the sexiest little thing I'd seen in a long time so I wanted him. At least I can say in all honesty that I wanted him for the long haul, or at least as long as an immortal can want a mortal creature. There was just something there that clicked and goddamnit I was going to make it happen even if I had to drag him out of the closet kicking and screaming. It made sense at the time, but at a certain point I started to wonder if I'd made a mistake. Of course by the time that thought even crossed my mind it was really too late anyway so I tried to just ignore the nagging worry and enjoy myself. But then I got that damn email from the Council and all my worries turned out to be completely and totally justified. I fucking hate being right all the time. Now I've gone and broken the one thing that I really wanted nothing more than to protect from the rest of the world. I wish I could say this was all just speculation but I'm afraid it's not. I talked to Jack the other night, he's the only one who has the number of the cell phone I was given, and he confirmed it. He said that Eilo never leaves the Winnebago and Key has taken to bringing him food and sneaking in at night to steal his laundry and clean up a bit. I had a feeling that was going to happen, which is why I made sure to leave behind an extra set of keys. Hopefully this is all just temporary. Maybe I can get Jack to lure Eilo out to a titty bar or something. He'd like that... at least if he was drunk enough not to worry about being touched... or to think too long on being with the son of the man who broke his heart.

Fuck I hope this guy shows up soon.  I’ve never known a vampire (besides Yan) to spend so much time in crowded places.  I really just want to get wasted and sleep till my plane leaves tomorrow.  England better be more exciting than this.
