Chapter 7

Oh thank god, it was just a dream. We woke up around a fire; everyone was hear, but still all asleep. I was so relieved, that was the worst nightmare i have ever had, it felt so real. I smiled

"hey jack you will never guess what i just dreamed about" i stared at him waiting a response " jack?"

And that's when i saw it, the dry blood, lingering around jacks neck, i couldn't help it, i burst out into tears, no, NOOO! That mother fucker, i will kill him. I only just seen the note entitled "lost souls"

Dear Connor, I hope you enjoyed the show, as much as i did performing it, it's ok Connor, all i want to do is see you suffer just as much as i did. Go back to your little hideout, and don't worry nothing is going to happen, well at least not yet, maybe i should wait for a birthday?, Christmas?, any sort of a special occasion really. See you soon, Vince!

Who the hell is this guy? my spine shivered at the very thought of him near Mavis, near any one at all, yes i was a hunter, but he was everything i hated, cruel, psychotic and just plain old blood thirsty. When i hunted i would make it quick, clean but this guy? he feeds on the fear, the pain of his victims. I had to find out who this guy was and fast.

We stumbled in the dark until we reached the long bridge, no one had even opened there mouth since we woke up. We slowly walked down the stone bridge, carrying jacks blood socked body. I could feel the cold, crisp, air for the first time since i become a vampire. Or at least i thought it was the air, every time i thought of that psycho Vince, all I could feel was the cold.

We were all exhausted, we hadn't fed in a while and on top of that, our wrists were cut. Kept on walking until we began to drop like dominos, first it was kie and a few seconds later Cazz, i just give in and dropped to my knees, i was feeling tired, really tired. I just stared at at the blood soaked corpse, what am i saying? Jack, until my eyes began to give in. And then there was nothing.

The next day... i think?

"Connor, Connor, you need to feed... take this"

I opened my mouth to receive the blood, my energy. As i drank i could feel myself becoming warmer, and finally had enough energy to open my eyes and realise Mavis was giving me her blood. I stopped as so as i could, what the? I looked around to notice I'm in Mavises room. Nothing better not have happened why i was out.

"What's that suppose to mean?" she said with an angry look on her face "am i not attractive?"

GET OUT OF MY HEAD!

"And i didn't mean it like that, you are attractive" i whispered with a smile.

Haha it never gets old, i love making her blush. Wait what am i doing? I need to warn Drac. I tried to get out of bed, but i was stopped by Mavis, she wrapped her hands around my chest, pulling me back down into my original position. She kept one arm over my chest as she snuggled in with me, are we cuddling? Ah i don't have time for this.

"Connor" she whispered into my ear so delicately. " I'm so, sorry what happened, i know he was like a brother to you, and..." she stopped talking for a moment " I'm not going to try and fill the empty void where he was" she stopped again " i just want you to know I'm hear, you can talk to me... well if you want"

We just lay there in piece for hours, when she fell asleep i left the bed and was about to leave the room until i thought to myself, she always reads my mind, so why can't i read hers? What goes around comes around right?

I sat on the edge of her bed, blocking out everything but her, i didn't care anymore, no wind, no cold, no voices just me and her.

: ahhh hes so amazing, he's the kindest, most beautiful and bravest person i have ever met: i couldn't help it i just let out a smug grin. : he used to be a hunter, but he saved us, he said it was all because of me, i wish i could tell him, I'm just to scared he will reject it, he's my zing and he doesn't even know. Am i a bad person?:

Holy shit, i knew it I'm her zing? I don't know how this thing works but like she said, love at first sight. That explains everything, why i spared her and Draculas life, why i feel warm around her, why seeing her in pain hurts me. And why Vince wants to kill her in front of me. I had to find Drac, now.

I stopped outside his doors which flew open within a matter of seconds.

"Connor, my boy" he smiled "your awake... where's Mavis, I thought she was looking after you?"

I walked over the room to where he stood, and handed him the note Vince give me. He stood there reading, not getting angry, but instead sad. Then suddenly his eyes raged with anger.

"Connor, we have to stop this maniac as soon as we can, he's too dangerous!" he pleaded

" you're telling me Drac... wait you sound like you know him" i stared him down hoping, no begging he said no.

" yes i do" he whispered as he turned to face his roaring fire" are you familiar with a man named Vince van Hesing?"

I looked at him with eyes full of shock and said " your joking right, please tell me this isn't the monster hunter van Helsing". Oh please don't let it be this guy.

" this started a long time ago" Dracula said as he took a seat " his full title is Vince van Helsing, and he was, as you know a monster hunter" he placed out his hand suggesting that i should take a seat, which i did.

" many years ago, Vince had found a beautiful women named Victoria, they eventually settled down and married, but disaster struck. Victoria had turned ill, and there was only one cure. Vampirism. He begged and begged me to turn her, but i was under a pact with the humans to never bite one of their kind. So I could not, i had to protect my beloved, and my daughter, so i rejected him. When the times finally come, Victoria passed away. And out of blind anger he told the humans that i was stealing children in the night, to feed. So they come, they come in the hundreds by the will of one man, Helsing. He said i had taken everything away from him, so it was only fair if he returned the favour." He stopped to see if i was keeping up with him.

He continued "he tracked down a wear wolf to make a deal; the deal was that the wolf would be under Helsings protection as long as the wolf infected him, making him immortal. He swore he would end his own life to be with his beloved, once he had killed everything and everyone i hold dear. That's why he wants to kill you and Mavis together" he explained.

I looked him in the eye and said "because were zings right?"

He looked at me in shock," how did you?"

"Mavis told me how to read minds" I explained "she dreamed about me"

He chuckled "only zings can read each other's minds" he explained. He stopped laughing and become serious "I'm sorry about jack, he was a good man"

I just looked at him with a small smile "yea one of the best" I whispered

"Connor man, how you doing?" i turned around to see Cazz and Kie standing there "so what we going to do about this bastard that killed jack?" i didn't have the answer so i turned my head to Drac.

He stood up and held his hands behind his back "gentle men" he smiled "I'm going to teach you how to hunt the hunters!"
