when my religion has made a mistake,” Thomas replied.
“Well, I think we should go to the Pasteur Institute,” said Sandra.
Deafening silence followed this statement; it was so long that Ari opened her eyes, thinking that in her sorrowful state, she had inadvertently stopped time. Every one of the coven members were staring at Sandra, blinking in disbelief, while Ari just looked confused. What the hell was the Pasteur Institute and what did it have to do with finding out what she could do?
“I think we need to talk about what’s wrong with you and why you are acting so-” Clyde began to say, but Thomas leapt up and stood protectively in front of Sandra. “Oh come on Thomas; surely you have noticed the change in her,” Clyde added, but Thomas shook his head and Clyde fell silent.
“And what will we find at the Pasteur Institute that we can’t find here?” asked Ragon.
“It’s a university in Britain… with the largest vampire library-” Sandra began to say.
“-I’m well aware of what it is,” Ragon said quickly, “but I still don’t see why we should go there.”
“Well, we can’t find out from Ari’s relatives why she is on the Ancients hit list; where else are we supposed to look?” asked Sandra. “The chronicles there have details about almost every legend since the dawn of vampires. Don’t you think that out of everywhere, if there is going to be mention of the ability of human’s to resist our lull, it would be there?”
“Excuse me?” asked Ari, unsure if she had been following the conversation correctly. “There is a university for vampires?”
“Yea, the Pasteur Institute has some of the oldest records on vampires; besides, there might also be a document that explains this Grandor constellation as well,” explained Sandra. “Or were you thinking we’d just ask the Ancients why they want Ari dead? Or maybe we could catch up with some witches and ask if they know if Ari’s one… seeing as they love vampires so much!”
“Vampires at university,” Ari said surprised, siting back on the bar stool. “Are there um, humans there too?”
“Yea, it’s mixed,” Clyde said indifferently.
“I don’t know,” said Ragon, more to himself than anyone else. “The Institute is full of vampires. That’s not exactly the best place for Ari to be right now.”
Ari turned to face him incredulously. How could Ragon be second guessing this solution? If there was a vampire library, full of detailed historical records, then it made perfect sense for them to go there next. Sandra was right; Ari didn’t have any living relatives. No one would be able to tell her why she could do the things she could. But on the other hand, vampires had existed for thousands of years; if there was going to be any record on what Ari could do, or any mention of the truth behind the Grandor constellation, then this vampire university was the best place to start. And it wasn’t just the thought of discovering the truth about her powers; maybe Ari and the coven could stay there for a while. If this university was in Britain, that would mean that Ragon would be able to walk around during the day. What if Ari could continue her studies with Ragon by her side?
Prior to meeting Ragon, Ari had been in the third year of a bachelor of veterinary science at the University of Brisbane. When Kiara had tried to kill her, she’d had to discontinue her studies, something which never sat well with her. Being a vet and caring for animals, was the only thing that Ari thought she would be good at. Admittedly her future career was the last thing on her mind right now, but she had tried so hard to get into the vet, and then studied so vigilantly to keep up with the course work. The thought of just giving up on her dream job felt horrible. But what if she could go back to university? Maybe she didn’t have to remain hidden to be with Ragon… maybe she could have
