Ch.12 You got to Fight for your Right to Live

Duncan's POV

Gwen wasn't so happy that I had made her mine. But she'll get over it. I followed them back to the camp and saw another female adult vampire and a boy. He smelled like a vampire, and a human. He looked like a vampire, or a sick human. What is he?

"Who are you?" he asked looking at me.

"WHAT are you is a better question?" I asked. He didn't like my response.

"This is Duncan. Duncan this is Trent. Trent, Laushawa Duncan will be joining us on our trip." Gwen said slightly annoyed.

"Why?" Trent asked. He looked upset and hurt and furious.

"Well, he kind of….umm..." she was hesitant.

"Nothing to be ashamed of. I own her now." I said proud. Trent's head just about exploded.

"WHAT?" he yelled.

"Why do you care?" she snapped. "I drank his blood and he made me his. And I'm sure he can help us find Sam." Gwen said coldly.

"Who's Sam?" I asked.

"Trent's lover." She answered. Then she walked away.

"Girl how bout me and you go have a talk." Laushawna said taking her arm and walking into the forest leaving me, Connor and Trent. They didn't seem too happy to be with me.

"So…." I said sitting down. They both sat down near me.

"Why did you make her yours?" Trent asked annoyed.

"She's cute and I needed help." I said.

"She could have gotten the bullet out with out being claimed." Connor yelled.

"What if I wanted to claim her?" I said in a cocky tone. That Trent guy seemed like he was going to bust an artery soon. Connor seemed mad but nothing compared to this guy.

"Why her?" Connor asked breaking the tension. I wish he didn't. I'm sure Trent would have pounced on me and attacked.

"She's strong, tough, and cute, I need someone like that. She's useful to me." I answered. But no sooner as the words came out of my mouth Trent was standing up ready to kill. "I have a better reason. I can tell you because we are all fugitives here."

"We are not..." Trent growled but I cut him short.

"You're illegal. Connor and that big girl are skipping school. Along with Gwen, who is helping an illegal? We are all fugitives. We get caught and we are all doomed." I answered.

"What is your intention?" Connor asked as Trent took a new seat closer to me.

"I am starting a war against humans and vampires. Or hemophages what ever we are. When I was younger I fell in love with this girl. Her name was Courtney. One day her sister changed and the next Courtney was hauled off to a testing place. They tested on her like a rat. A RAT. I have no clue if she's alive or dead. But her family was allowed to see her but not anymore. I want to stop what they do in there. Because I know its nothing good." I growled at the memories. I won't rest until she is safe in my arms and the humans pay for her pain.

"They do, do horrible things there." Connor said. "Gwen was tested on after her sister changed. They thought they found a cure and let her go. But she soon changed and she might die any minute now. The hemophage community works hours on end to find a cure for what they put in her. You're not alone." He finished.

"What?" I asked confused.

"Gwen, the girl you now own, she metaphorically has a ticking time bomb in her. We don't know when it will go off, or if it ever will. But we do know if we don't disable it, not only will she die, but the humans will know what kills us and we will soon be no more." He said. "She takes 3 medical shots daily and monthly check ups. So far so good. But she still is carrying that deadly chemical in her. She too wants to stop the human madness. Not only did they kill her twin sister, they put her life and all hemophanges lives' in danger." Connor explained.

"I had no idea." I said. "I thought I was alone and had to force people to be part of my army." I confessed.

"I will fight for you." We all turned to see Gwen coming from the bushes. "But I want my freedom. And I want to fight with words first, fire arms second." She said with a smile.

"Swear? If you lie and run off I'll hunt you down." I joked.

"Swear." She agreed.

"I'll keep the hold for a little while longer." I said. But no on seemed happy about it. "Fine." I sighed. "Gwen as your master I free you from your hold to me." I said. I felt as if I had lost something, like something was missing but Gwen had a big smile.

"Thanks. And yeah I will help you defeat the humans in their evil ways." She said.

After that we all sat down and talked. I decided to tag along on their trip to find this girl for Trent.

I got up to take a bathroom break and on my way back I saw that Connor and Laushawna where mapping out where we should go. And Trent and Gwen looking at the stars. She was pointing things out and he looked interested. I sat near my solo tent that Gwen will use and I share with Trent and saw something on Trent's seat. It looked like a locket but inside was like a weird compass thing.

It didn't have a North South East or West thing just a needle pointing. And it seemed to be spinning around. Trent caught me looking at it and he grabbed it. I wonder what that thing is.
