Chapter 7:

-Kathleen's worried-

Alex ran into her arms and started again to cry. She caressed him gently over the head and calmed him down.

"Shhh... Shhh. Don't cry, Alex. Big boys don't cry, do they? However, you are a big one boy, not true?" Alex nodded and Kathleen smiled at him. "Now go and play something. I will make a cocoa for you immediately and afterwards you have to go to bed soon."

"Yes aunt."

Alex went quickly into the kitchen and got itself some chocolate from the refrigerator. He vanished somewhat more satisfied after it and calmed in his bedroom. Meanwhile, Kathleen and the guys sat in the living room on the sofa and talked. Zed went also shortly into the kitchen and opened the little chamber between the refrigerator and the combination, nothing uncommon except that it was locked and Alex didn't have any access. But he never was curiously, definitely only cleaning utensils was inside there, the usual boring testifies.Together with the boring testifies was another somewhat bigger refrigerator. He got out a bottle with a thick red liquid. Blood. He locked the door with the key behind himself as he had what he wanted, then he went back in the living room to the two and sat down between Caleb and Kathleen. Zed opened the bottle and inhaled the smell of the blood, which deadened his mind for a moment, then he filled the glasses, that stood ready on the small table before them.

"It is long ago for me and Caleb too, have tasted fresh blood and fresh meat. Maybe you vampires can live long so, however we can't."

"Oh come on boys, nobody forbids you to hunt. Now, what happened? Alex seems to be rather infuriated."

"Everyone would hold this as a normal matter, the usual school-pranks..."

"Zed, come to the point. What happened?"

"Well, it wasn't his fault. He's been teased and got threatened with trashing by a few boys of the upper class. Well then it happened..."

"What happened, for god sake!"

"He lost his control unintentionally and transported the two guys some meters to the back, as if he made this daily, he ran crying after it from it. Probably he wasn't aware of what he did."

"Ah my God. And who else saw this?"

"Almost the whole school, inclusive teachers." added Caleb as he drank a sip from the blood. "I propose, for the security of the students and Alex, that he shouldn't go anymore to the school, private lessons probably would be the best."

"And how should we explain this to him, why he hasn't to go anymore to the old school? I don't know whether that is such a good idea."

"We simply tell him, that he is too good for this school and that he can learn quietly on this, what he once wants to do in the job."

"And if he finds out what's wrong with him, before Michael comes back? What would be if he gives in his nature and finds pleasure at it? Then..."

"Kathleen, calm down. If we keep him away from temptations and treat him as normally as possible, then nothing will go wrong. Michael knows what he is doing, don't be afraid." itwas Caleb's he comforting speech however, this calmed Kathleen in no way.

"But Michael is no foreseer."

"He knew, that it won't be easy, therefore we are here."

"Michael is strong, physically like also with his will and the same will be also for his son."

"You seem to be so sure about it while I have totally no idea."

"Instinct." Zed showed with the forefinger at his nose and grinned. My kindliness, I'm starving. How is it with you, Caleb?"

"You speak exactly from my stomach."

"If you don't mind, Kathleen, we will pull something around the blocks. Should we bring you something?"

"No thanks, it's kind of you."

"Don't rack your brains about it. It will be fine and we are back soon."
