Emma's POV
Chloe groaned. We could hear gunshots going off inside but we were posted out here. It was obvious the man…Matt was his name right?… didn't want us going in.
"Screw this," Chloe grabbed a plank holding the door shut and pulled.
"Chloe!" Jeremy panicked as the wood cracked loudly.
"I'm going in," she grabbed another.
I smelled blood inside but couldn't tell if it was fresh or old. My stomach rumbled and Jeremy must have heard it from the look his gave me.
"Emma," he warned.
I grabbed onto the planks with Chloe and we tore them off. All my mind could think was blood blood blood. Chloe kicked and the door finally busted open. In the middle of the factory floor was an all out brawl. Vampires and Jeremy's friends tearing each other up. Brilliant red blood flying everywhere. Chloe dashed in and joined, jumping on a vampire that was fighting her boyfriend. The smell of blood was too strong I couldn't stop myself.
"Emma!" Jeremy was running after me.
When did I run into the building? Where were my feet taking me? My body acted on instinct, I was trapped inside my mind. I watched as I tackled a vampire and sank my teeth into its neck.
Chloe's POV
Finally. I was fighting side by side with Derek and it was awesome. There was no other way to put it even though it was a little scary. I raised the vampires as they died and ordered them to attack the other vampires. Derek covered me as I commanded them. Firing at advancing vampires. How many bullets did that thing have? It felt like something out of an epic movie, like battle music should be playing around us.
Very quickly the vampires were defeated, our team was growing too big with my zombies for them to be able to win. I released my zombies and the factory quickly fell from screams and shouts to silence.
"Damn," Simon smiled as the last vampire fell.
He was standing on top of a detached bulldozer front. Vampire blood splattered all over his shirt.
"Nice job," he said.
"Mhm," Matt nodded. "Good thinking adding to our numbers Chloe. Use that in the future for sure."
He wasn't yelling at me for joining? Maybe he knew I would all along. Or maybe it was because I was still standing virtually unharmed.
Liz and Tori appeared around Simon's bulldozer, they must have chased some vampires trying to flee. It was hard to keep track of where everyone was during the fight. They had some cuts but nothing too serious that I could see.
Jeremy grabbed my shoulder and pun me around to face him, his eyes were wide with panic.
"Help," he whispered.
"I'm uh going to help Jeremy track down Emma," I called over to Matt.
Derek turned to follow.
"Hold on Derek, I need your strength. Help me move the bodies, we can't leave them here like this."
Jeremy dragged me away from the group before I could hear Derek's response.
"I'm sure she's fine," I said.
"Chloe, she attacked the vampires and started drinking from them. I can't let the others see that."
I searched around but couldn't see her around any of the machinery. I grabbed Jeremy to stop him and listened. Far off to our left was uneven breathing. I pointed to my ears then to our left, trying to get Jeremy to use his werewolf hearing. Jeremy dashed towards it as soon as he did.
We rounded a machine that looked like it was for crushing big objects. Maybe it was used for trash/waste? Emma was against the machine, knees to her chest and covered in blood. Beside her was the body of another vampire. But the breathing we heard wasn't coming from Emma. Standing ten or so feet back from her was Kyle.
Jeremy rushed to her side while I approached a terrified looking Kyle who was stilling holding his knife.
"Kyle…"
"She… she…"
"I know," I gently took the knife from his hand.
Kyle's shocked expression moved from Emma to me.
"You knew she was one of them?"
I moved in between them more to Kyle's gaze would stay on me.
"You were ok with me being vampiric, what's wrong with her being the same way?"
Kyle stumbled over his words, "It's not that there's something wrong with it. Though she does seem to have impulse problems. I just think that it's something we should have known Chloe. I mean what else did they do to her? What is she going to do to us?"
I glanced over at Jeremy frantically trying to clean up some of the blood.
"It'll be ok," he kept saying to her.
"I don't know what else they did," I took Kyle's hand as Jeremy got Emma to stand and we all walked back. Kyle watched her suspiciously the whole time.
The bodies were piled up to be burned when we got back to the group. Matt didn't want to leave evidence of supernatural activity. The problem was getting back to Matt's car. We could wait here for the car to pick us up but someone still had to go get it. Matt didn't seem concerned like the rest of us though so he must have a plan for getting back to his car.
