Chapter 2

Mick awoke to the irritating sound of banging on his door. Thinking it was Beth coming to talk with him some more about the current changes, including becoming human.

BANG BANG BANG!

"Alright, alright. I'm coming!" Mick yelled as he moved from the couch to the door with haste to answer her. But when he opened the door, he got a surprise.

"Josef? What are you doing here?"

"Ok Mick, where is she? Did you kill her? Turn her/ Is she hiding out somewhere around here? Because if she is I would really appreciate it if you told me."

"Slow down Josef. Who are you talking about and why would she be here?"

Josef was moving around his apartment looking in every possible hiding place he could find, when he stopped.

"You mean, you haven't heard?"

"Heard what?" Now Mick was scared. What didn't he know? And why was Josef so keen on finding this person that had been misplaced?

In silence, Josef turned on Mick's TV.

"Again the top story of the evening: Young reporter Beth Turner has been reported missing. Officials say that the large stain of blood found by the side of the road in the small park on the East side of town, has been confermed to have come from Miss Turner. Others also say it is too much lost for one person to survive. Please stay with us as the story unfolds."

Josef was silent, as he stared at the crazed man before him. Mick was lost in his own mind, he paced around his apartment fighting back his tears. Only one thing was going through his mind 'Why? How? Was this intentional?'

"Mick, Mick I'm so sorry. I thought you had...and then brought her here." Mick wasn't listening, he just couldn't stop moving. But he was also feelong drained, and yet at the same time, he felt his senses increase ten fold. The compound was wereing off. Mick didn't care anymore, it didn't matter anymore, nothing mattered anymore. He had done this, all of this for her, what did it matter now that she was dead.

"NO!" Mick shouted with anguish as he destroyed his apartment with Josef trying to calm him.

"Mick, hay man stop! You do this to yourself, it was an accident!" But Mick was to far gone. He vamped and sped off to the park after tearing out of his building. With his senses returning, perhaps, just maybe he could find her and bring her home.
