Chapter 2: Confusion

"Will you stop thinking about that leech?" A voice shouted in my head.

"Damn it, Kevin." I snarled, startled. "I told you not to talk to me while I'm thinking."

Kevin laughed. "Sorry must've slipped my mind."

I gave out a low growl. "Let's just keep moving." I said running faster then the others.

The rest of the pack stayed quiet until we got to the village. I phased back into my human body and walked over to the pile of clothes and found mind. I pulled a pair faded blue jeans and a red t-shirt on. I waited there until the others caught up. The first one to phase was Kevin, his black hair mostly coving his blue eyes. He stood to six foot eleven, with his messy hair he looked like a monster from the sands. I laughed.

He shook his head of the sand as he grabbed his clothes, which were just a pair of shorts. Next was Quincy his gray hair was pulled into a short pony-tail, his hazy brown eyes shifted from me to Kevin as he picked his blue button up shirt and a pair of black pants. Josh and Grant were the last ones to phase back. Josh moved his blue hair backwards putting it into a spiky form. Grants hair was mostly gone shaved military style the way he likes it he said. I shook my head as everyone got dressed and entered the village.

"Robert, I would like to see you." Elder Roux called as I passed his tent.

I walked to the entrance and bowed, and then entered. Elder Roux's tent was plain; a small bed lay in the corner while a fire glowed in the center. All of Elder Roux's medicines were in small bags along a shelf he had.

"Yes elder." I replied, as I sat down in front of him.

"Some disturbing news caught wind and blew passed my ears this evening." Elder Roux said as he stared into the fire, flames reflecting of his smooth glassy eyes.

"News of what?" I asked, staring into the fire as well.

"News of Sirius." Elder Roux whispered, throwing a small amount of dirt onto the fire.

"What of him?" I asked staring at the Elder now.

"He is to come here." The Elder shuttered. "He will kill all of us." The Elders eyes looked up from the fire to look into mine. "You must leave to keep us safe, for he only wants you."

My breathing stayed normal. "Elder if I was to leave where would I go."

He shook his head. "I have some money left over from the trading season." He said as he got up and walked over to one of his selves that lined the walls. He lifted a pouch from behind a picture of his wife, my mother, who passed away a few years ago, from vampires. I punched the ground lightly remembering that day. I shook my head to clear the image as my father threw the pouch towards me. I caught it in one hand and opened it, inside was enough for a months worth of food. There was a piece of paper there with a name and an address.

"Father this address is in America." I said pulling the paper out.

"Yes it is." My father replied. "I want you to go meet this person for he will help you. You must go to him and ask for help. Do you understand?"

"Yes father." I replied as I bowed. "I shall leave in the morning."

"No!" Elder Roux shouted. "You must leave tonight before that monster comes here."

I stared at my father, I never seen him so angry in my life. I nodded. "Yes father, I shall leave tonight. But what of my pack?"

"I shall tell them you went on an important mission and will be gone for a long time." My father said as he sat down in front of me once more. "I want you to go to your house and grabbed what you need."

"Yes father." I said again and got up and ran out of the tent to my house.

I ran up to my room and grabbed my backpack and packed it full of clothes. I also put a few provisions in the bag as well.

"Food and water is what I need." I thought. "It's going to be a long trip to Cairo."

I ran out of my house and out the gates of the village, phasing when I got far enough away from the village. I ran full speed to Cairo.
