Follow the Blood Stained Road

Trent's POV

Sleeping in the same tent as Duncan was just as bad as knowing he tricked Gwen into owning her. ……. Not that I care……I mean……. I am not even sure anymore. I like Gwen, she's sweet and kind and caring, funny, unique, smart, independent, pretty….pretty interesting I mean. I love Sam and always will.

I was hooked up to my blood transfusion and was annoyed. "Can I try to drink blood normally?" I asked Connor who was half way done with his blood bag.

"You'll just gag it all." He said. Duncan found amusement that I couldn't drink. I thought it was honestly the most annoying thing ever. I want to taste the warm red liquid in my mouth and swallow it down. But my human half won't let me and regurgitates it all.

"Morning." A sleepy Gwen said walking out of her tent. Well its really Duncan's tent but he let her use it. And it's really night time, but to Gwen and Duncan and soon me, this is morning.

"So the address says she lives in the upper side. So we should head north." Connor said helping Laushawna pack up.

I took a peek at my compass and noticed it pointing north. I panicked. I need to keep my love safe. "Umm guys, I think we should head west instead." I said.

"But she lives north." Laushawna said.

"But my gut says she's west." I said with a weak face.

"He's imprinted. He'll be able to find her better." Gwen said injecting herself before taking a bag for breakfast.

"I go with human compass here." Duncan said hauling his bag on his back. Laushawn surged.

"West it is." Connor said looking at the map. I sighed of relief and looked at my now empty blood bag.

"I got it." Gwen said unhooking me.

"Thanks." I smiled at her. but she seemed afraid of something. Terrified. "You ok?" I asked. She looked at me shocked.

"I'm fine. Why?" she asked.

"Never mind." I said as she put all the equipment in its bag. I looked to the left and saw the bag full of blood. It made my mouth water, I wanted it to bad.

"Ok let's go." Connor said standing in now the empty camp site.

The trip was long and boring. I started dragging behind but purposely. I need to make sure we steer clear of Sam. My mouth dry and agitated I looked at the compass but didn't look long Gwen was standing near me.

"You're falling behind." She laughed.

"Sorry." I replied picking up speed but not so much. She's such a sweet girl, Gwen. I looked at the compass. It was pointing north, toward Sam. Then it sharply turned west. With my eyes bulging from my eye sockets I looked at where the needle was pointing.

Gwen was right in front of me and the needled followed her. If she stumbled to the right, so did the needle. If she stopped and fell behind me, the needle turned to her direction.

This cant be. This is supposed to lead to Sam. Now Gwen. I slapped it constantly trying to fix it but it didn't seem broken. But it must be if its following Gwen.

A whole night of walking, compass smacking and dry thirsty thoughts. "Guys we need to stop." Gwen said sitting on a huge rock.

"Ok we'll set up camp." Connor said. Gwen dropped her backpack and walked to Connor and Laushawna. Then I noticed something odd. The compass was pointing to the west. Where Gwen was sitting. Gwen was to me left or east. Then I saw Duncan go to her bag and take out a blood bag.

I walked to her bag and my compass was spinning. It had been pointing to my desire. And that was a backpack full of blood. And here I thought it was pointing to Gwen…
