Jeeze; my last chapter was way too short. Anywhoozle; Chapter 8. :D
Mary-Lynnette was frantic. Where could he be? This was not like him at all. To just disappear; to scare Jade half to death and to make Mare worry so much it hurt. When they found him; he'd better have a good excuse for going missing, or she'd hit him herself. She was sick of all this drama. Jade was sobbing in the back of the car; Rowan attempting to comfort her. Assure her Mark was fine. No one, not even Ash had dared try to do that with Mary-Lynnette. She wasn't in the mood to be cuddled. She had to find her brother.
They went across the whole town; house to house, door to door but they still couldn't find him. Till they got to Bunny's house; "Excuse me Bunny, have you seen my brother around since last night?" "I saw him on my way home last night, he was with Jade. She got into the car and drove away but he went down the alley to Mad Dog creek. I thought it was a little late for him to be there alone really." She told her. "He's missing." Mary-Lynnette sighed. "Ring my cell if you see him, please?" Her mind was racing but she couldn't help but cringe internally. She hadn't been there since Jeremy died. "Sure honey; hope you find him."
His forehead burned. Mark lightly touched where the pain was centred. Just as he thought; blood. It stuck his dark hair in a messy clump across his forehead. Mud clinging to where the blood and ground had connected. He was still on the floor, tied to a chair. He was helpless. There was nothing he could do, except use the remaining energy he had to make as much noise as possible. He began to shout, but he was losing so much blood…
All the girls were searching the creek. They wouldn't give up, they couldn't. Mary-Lynnette wouldn't let them. Even Ash was helping with the search party. Making Mare very grateful for his more accurate senses; for once she was glad he was a vampire. They neared Jeremy's old caravan. Ash could hear something; Rowan and Kestrel decided to check it out.
Kestrel kicked in the abandoned caravan door; it crashed to the floor. Dust flew into the air; Kestrel had always hated dust; she saw it as a sign of laziness. Maybe she should let Jeremy off; being dead and all. Kestrel couldn't help but smile at that thought. He was pretty hot; but he reeked of dog. She didn't date dogs. Past the stench of mildew and grime, she could smell something else… Yes, definitely human blood. She raced through the caravan; Rowan following her closely. They had found him, but he was barely alive. Kestrel's eyes were silver, but she pushed back the urge to feed. Rowan gripped her wrist tightly; tears forming in her eyes. As well as the keep gash to the back of his head, there were bite marks. There was another vampire, and he was close. Kestrel was sure there was a reason it had taken Mark; she knew Rowan felt it too.
"Mary-Lynnette! Mare, we found him!" Kestrel yelled, as she took Mark's limp form into her arms. Mary-Lynnette gasped, she hadn't expected this. How could she have been mad at him? She longed to hold Ash's hand, but she didn't want Jade to see Mark like this, his once white shirt completely blood stained. Who ever had done this; they would pay.
Yet again, still not as long as I'd like it to be, but I'm determined to update more often. So my little Night World loving darlingss, tell me what you think.. Or I may be mean! Could make you wait a LONGGG time for the next chapter. ;D
Yes I am a review whore; I have told you this.
