I storm out of my hut to come face to face with Cai. Startled, I take a step back. The flash of anger I felt toward him in the cabin returned. I felt like hitting him, demanding were my friends were. But I did none of this. I just stood there and stared at him. His beauty once again taking over me. But he looked sad. It showed in his eyes.
"Hello Mezocatra," He started with no emotion. I was taken aback. "I'm sorry about your friends I had not done it, though. I know who has… but you not have believed me if I told you." He glanced up at me; his black eyes were so full of sorrow and loneliness I had no choice but to listen.
"I will believe you if you tell me. I have known you didn't do it. But, I want to know who did." A spark lit in his eyes after I spoke with much needed gentleness. But he still spoke with no emotion. "I am sorry to say this Mezocatra, but it was your brother, Kaian, who had taken your friends." I was confused. Kaian? But I killed him all those years back. Unless…
"But," I said very slowly, "Kaian is dead, I killed him…"
"He is not as dead as you think, Mezocatra." Cai said, fire growing in his black eyes. I took another step back.
"What do you mean?" I asked, afraid of the answer.
"What I mean is after you so-called killed him he came back. Even before then he was impenetrable! He's the undead much like your friend Molli! But he's a bloodsucker! Do you get what I'm saying, Mezocatra." I nodded and felt sick. My own brother was a bloodsucking vampire, more powerful than the psychic ones, like Molli was.
"Do you understand the danger we're in, Mezocatra? He could kill us both." Bile rose in my throat but I held it back. He is an old Vampire and even with Cai I could not defeat him. I nodded stiffly and fell back, my knees were weak. Cai caught me and brought me back up to my feet. It was all too much to hold in my mind. Cai looked a little worried but not much. I put a slim hand to my forehead and said.
"My own brother trying to kill me! Even out loud it sounds scary and weird." I tried to laugh but felt sick when I did. I was much more powerful and faster than a normal vampire, but a one hundred sixty thousand year old one, well, lets not get carried away. Cai touched my arm and the beautiful woodland scenery dissolved. I was in an eerie blue light, full of mystery and desire. My thoughts were his and his thoughts were mine.
"No!" I pull away. What was I thinking, letting myself go like that. I had to rescue my friends. I looked up into his eyes. Those sad, endless, black eyes. I shook my head and ran away from him, leaving him to be alone once again. I turned into the wolf to escape faster. I had to go to the school. I had to see Alyx.
