Love Is Thicker Than Blood
Chapter 09: Secrets Finally Revealed
-----------------------
(Johnny's POV)
"I wonder where this leads," I whispered to myself before starting to descend the stairs.
I hadn't gone to far when the fireplace closed behind me. I was left in the pitch dark so I ruffled around in my pockets to hopefully find a light. After a few moments of rummaging I found the pack of matches I had gotten back in Europe. I lit one and began walking down the steps again.
"Ow!"
The match had burnt my finger, so I dropped it leaving me in darkness again. I lit another one and began my venture down the spiraling stairs yet again to be burnt. However, this time when I flicked the match it hit something on the wall, and suddenly there was light. The match had fallen one of the many torches that seemed to lead down the stairs. As if on cue from the one I accidentally lit, the rest all burst into flame as well.
"Whoa."
Having my way lit now, I descended the rest of the stairs to find myself in a dark stone walled room. Yet, what caught my eye were the four coffins situated in the middle of the room. Four different coffins just lying in the middle of the floor. There was a white one with silver bearings on it, while next to that was a cedar coffin with gold bearings. To the left of those two were a black coffin and a cherry wood coffin, both with silver bearings.
"I must go tell Robert," I thought to myself before dashing up the stairs.
Lucky for me I found Robert passing through the hall when I came bursting into the hallway.
"Johnny! Don't just jump out at a person like that! You scared the dickens out of me," Robert said holding a hand to his chest.
"Robert. Fireplace. Stairs. Hidden. Coffins," I stammered, not being able to make a complete sentence.
"What on earth are you babbling about man?" he asked arching an eyebrow.
So I grabbed one of his hands and dragged him into the living room where I opened the secret passage I found. He looked at me shocked, and I nodded at him, answering the question he didn't have to voice.
"Wait here," He told me before disappearing down the stairs.
"But-" I started but it was too late he was already out of hearing distance.
---------------------
(Kai's POV)
"Robert!" I heard what sounded like Johnny shout.
"What on earth is that twerp shouting for?" I thought to myself heading in the direction I heard Johnny yell from.
I rounded the corner to the living room when I found Johnny standing in front of the secret passage behind the fireplace. The secret passage that led to our hidden lair. The one that held our secret. This was definitely not a good sign.
"Johnny!" I growled as I entered the room, making him jump before he turned to face me.
"K-Kai," he stammered with what sounded like fear.
Good, he should be scared. He should be very frightened indeed.
"What's the matter Johnny? You seem awfully.pale," I teased as I walked further into the room.
"You just stay away from me!" He shouted, his courage starting to come back to him.
"Oh? And why should I do that? We're old friends after all."
"Friends? We were never friends. And I definitely wouldn't want to be friends with you now," he stated, hate starting to burn in his eyes. "You- you filthy creature."
"I have no idea what you're talking about Johnny," I said coming to a stop a mere 5 feet away from him.
"Ne. You know what I'm talking about. You know what evil you are. The whole lot of you are vampires!"
"You can't prove a thing," I stated crossing my arms over my chest.
"That's where you're wrong Kai. I -can- prove it, and as soon as Robert finds the evidence you'll all be a mere memory. All of you will be toast."
I wasn't sure exactly what to say, but I knew Johnny had a point. If I didn't do something to protect them, then we wouldn't survive. I had to find a way to make sure Robert didn't find out about any of this, but how?
"Say goodbye to your friends Kai," Johnny said viciously, breaking me out of my thoughts. "And you're precious little Rei."
At just the mere mention of hurting Rei I snapped. I launched myself at Johnny. I knew I was much faster then Johnny so I had no trouble in catching him. He struggled against my hold, but I was stronger, more determined. Without thinking I sunk my fangs into his neck and began draining him of his life's nectar.
As he no longer struggled I helped his body to the ground so his weight was no longer on me. I knew I couldn't let him live so I had no choice but to end his life. I could feel his life draining away as I took the last of his blood. He could no longer hurt Rei.
---------------------
(Rei's POV)
The smell of fresh blood filled my nostrils, kicking in my vampire urges. My eyes flared red and my fangs made their appearance. Naturally, I followed the smell until I found myself in the living room where I found Kai looming over someone's body. As I looked closer at the face I saw Johnny.
"Kai?!?" I exclaimed.
"Rei." He said turning from Johnny's body, blood colouring his lips and fangs as he stood up.
"Oh my god you killed Johnny!"
"Rei it's not what it looks like," Kai said stepping towards me.
"You killed Johnny!?! You killed Johnny!?!" I said becoming hysterical.
"Rei, just calm down and let me explain," Kai said gripping my shoulders firmly.
As Kai told me what happened I listened carefully though a thousand thoughts ran through my head. Things definitely took a turn for the worse. We had many close calls before, but we definitely had no excuse for why Johnny was dead.
"We're in trouble aren't we Kai?" I asked nervously.
"I better find Tyson and Max before Robert finds out," Kai replied as if not hearing me.
"Kai." I started before he cut me off.
"You stay here," Kai told me before running off to find Tyson and the others.
I collapsed onto Johnny's body, crying for my friend. Things didn't have to be this way. They shouldn't have turned out this way. If only we told them the truth. If only we could have made them see. If only we could have convinced them we weren't really evil. Then. Then maybe Johnny could have lived.
"So you ARE the ones!" Robert exclaimed from above me, his voice full of malice.
