Sorry that it's been a while since I've updated. Everything is happening at once now and I can't find the time to sit down and write.
Chapter 11
Ash POV
"Seriously, how much longer until we get there?" Quinn's voice rang over the stereo that was blaring Ethnotechno music that James put on.
"Not soon enough!" My temper was rising. I could handle Quinn's constant questions, but three hours of James' music was killing me. Clenching the steering wheel I quickly turned into the nearby gas station. Without saying anything else I got out of the car and went straight for the nearby woods. Need to do something that I can be alone for a while and calm down. James would see that we needed the gas anyways giving me a couple of minutes to just do whatever I want.
I ran. I ran for miles until I finally stopped. I was standing at the end of the full forest but I was still surrounded by trees. It was a beautiful clearing that I came across. There was a little waterfall and a stream of water. A few deer were drinking in the water. Looking up I could see the clear blue sky. Mare would love this. She could still see her stars if we came at night. I thought about bringing her here after I went back to her.
Just as I thought that one of the deer perked up and noticed me. I didn't have to even blink before they all started to run into the cover of the forest. One more reminder of the creature I am, of the creature that Mare couldn't stand to be around.
"Gotcha!" The voice was a whisper beside my ear. Quickly turning around I saw no one behind me. "Looks like age is making someone slower and less observant!" The voice came from across the stream, it was clear that I was dealing with a vampire, and I knew just who it was.
Without saying anything I ran into the cover of the forest. They wanted to mess with me, than they get the full experience. This was also the perfect thing to calm me down right now. A nice hunt.
Within a minute I found the guy that thought he could mess with me. Now it was my turn to mess with him.
Without making a single sound I ran up to him from behind. Very smoothly I raised my hand to the same level as his head. At the right moment I swung back and made contact with his head. His head jerked to the side and just as he had turned around I went back into the cover of the trees.
"Now who's slow, Grandpa!" I ran circles around him so he couldn't tell where I was. Once I was done I made my way up a distant tree and waited to see what he was planning on doing next.

He just stood there. With his eyes closed he lowered himself to the ground. I was confused as to what he was doing. Normally he would start running trying to find me. This was going to be interesting.
I hopped down the tree and started to walk around him making sure that he couldn't tell where I was. With my eyes on him I started to think of a plan. It wasn't long before I came up with one.
I crouched down. This wasn't one of my better plans but I was short on time and I wanted to get some action going. He stayed where he was. Very carefully I made my way until I moved towards his back. Once I was there I couldn't wait any longer to get some fighting done.
I made my way into a run at him. He never noticed me coming and I knew that was his weakness. He could never realize when he was being stalked from behind. Today though, it worked for me. Later I would teach him the basic way of sensing someone else.
While we were on the ground I flipped him over so I could see his face. When I did I saw a huge smile plastered on his face. I knew that there was something else that was going on. He never would be smiling after this.
I knew that he had something up his sleeve. I braced myself for the worst to happen next.
Thank you and remember to REVIEW!

Hopefully that plan will work.
