Finally, Chapter 14! It's longer! Woo! But not very long, lol. Oh well. It's in Derrick's POV though! You probably won't understand what he's talking about at some points though. Hehe. I'm so evil.
Derrick's POV
Saturday morning at 5am, Cassie and I headed for North Western Washington to hunt. It had been about a week since I've hunted and I was starving. Instead of taking a car, we ran, over 200 miles. I needed the silence, Cassandra's constant chattering wasn't gonna do it for me today. I was frustrated.
Lucian hasn't contacted me for some time. I've been a sitting duck, not sure what to do. Also, killing that vampire was sloppy. He shouldn't have done that. My brother can be very stupid sometimes. If he isn't careful, he'll get caught, and our whole plan will be ruined.
I stopped running at the beginning of a thick forest. I was a much faster runner than Cassie, so I had to wait about 10 minutes before she finally appeared beside me.
She must have taken in my pensive expression, because she asked, "Whatcha thinkin'?"
"Nothing important," I grinned at her. It was fake. It was always fake.
Cassie scowled, "I hate that I can't read your mind."
I don't. I smirked before shooting into the woods. We always hunt far away from each other. I tell them I can't concentrate around others. Truthfully, I just like to get away from them as much as possible.
I stopped, lifting my head up to sniff the air for prey. I smelled the smoke of a fire, the odor of cooking human food. And blood. Warm blood, pumping constantly through their veins.
I sped towards the scent eagerly. It usually took forever. I was lucky today. When 2 green tents became visible I slowed down and smiled, my fangs extending in anticipation.
I paused at the edge of the clearing to examine the campsite. A group of 4 friends sat around a fire, hot dogs roasting over it, the smoke lazily drifting up into the sky. They were laughing, telling jokes and having a good time. I was about to end it.
I stepped out of the trees casually. One of the boys saw me first, saying, "Uh, can I help you?"
At this, the other 3 teenagers turned to stare at me, quizzical looks on their faces. Obviously wondering where the hell I came from. There were 2 girls and 2 guys. 2 A positives, a B negative, and an AB negative. I licked my lips. This will be a good meal.
I shrugged, my hands stuffed in the pockets of my jeans, "I'm just here for food."
The other guy said apologetically, "Sorry, man, but we don't have enough hot dogs for another person."
"That's okay," I told him, "I wasn't thinking hot dogs." As I said this my eyes darkened and I bared my fangs.
Before any shocked thoughts could even register in their brains, I had ripped 3 of their throats out.
I held down the first guy who had talked and grinned wickedly, "Hope you had a nice camping trip." And proceeded to sink my teeth into his neck.
--D--
I threw down the girl lazily, done feeding off of her. Her AB negative blood was delicious, one of my favorite blood types. I looked around the campsite, in perfect condition. Well, besides the 4 dead teenagers, of course. I smiled to myself before wiping the blood off my mouth with the back of my hand.
Glancing up at the now dark sky, I decided I should head back to where we arrived to meet Cassie. I took one last look at the mess I made before running out of clearing.
As I was sprinting back, something caught me around the middle, knocking me back hard into a tree. Recovering from the blow, I looked around, not seeing anyone. I raised an eyebrow. Suddenly something big dropped down from a branch above me onto the ground. I smirked.
Lucian.
"Always have to make dramatic entrances, don't you?" I asked him, folding my arms as he straightened up. He looked a lot like myself, but his jet black hair was spiky, his features were sharper, his eyes were slightly darker also, a burnt gold color.
"Of course." Lucian grinned at me, and reached into his pocket, pulling out a pack of cigarettes and sticking one in his mouth. A book of matches appeared seemingly out of nowhere, he struck one, lighting up his face, making it look menacing. After lighting the cancer stick he put the matches back into his pocket and took a drag, blowing out the smoke in rings.
"Why haven't you made any contact with me this past week?" I asked sternly, "We made an agreement. You'll speak to me every other day. Not every other week, Luke."
He shrugged lazily, "I got sidetracked."
I shook my head, "With killing vampires? I thought you said you would wait 'til after we-"
Luke cut me off, "I know, I know. But, I couldn't help myself. So sue me," he took another drag on his cigarette before continuing, "So, do you know if she's changing yet?"
I shook my head, "So far, I'm not sure. I don't think she is. We have nothing to worry about, yet."
He nodded once, satisfied, "If she does, Derrick, you know what to do." Then he was gone, like a flash. Luke never stayed in one place long, an old habit, which apparently, die hard.
I took off, Cassie was probably already waiting for me. When I reached her, she was leaning up against a tree, looking bored.
When she spotted me she immediately began talking even though I was about 20 ft. away, "So how was your hunt? Did you catch anything? I got a grizzily bear," she grinned, "It was tasty."
I smiled at her and answered when I reached her, "It was good. I got a couple of mountain lions."
"Great," she said in her bubbly voice that annoyed me so.
We started running again, back home.
Yeah, I knew what I had to do. If Holly started changing. I'd have to kill her.
Do you like my plot twist? Haha. You probably don't, it's horrible of me. I hope I don't lose readers! O.O Please review!
