Gwen's POV
We were worried. We didn't hear anything and now all of our friends are missing and all that's left is a trail of blood to help us out. "Well let's follow it." Trent said. I took his hand in mine and we raced off following the bloody trail. It smelled familiar to me. But I couldn't place my finger on it.
We ran deeper into the forest as we came to a small clearing. We stopped there and saw the scene as it unfolded. Chuck had a sharpened stake above a girl on the floor. I've never met her before. She had long brown hair with clip on color extensions, glowing red eyes, a KISS t-shirt and black jeans. But what really caught my eye was the blood all over her face and hands.
"Don't kill her." Mari yelled. She was looking over a bloody Geoff. Bridgett had his head in her lap as tears strolled down her face.
"Why not? Look what she did to him. She can't be trusted." He said ready to stake the small vampire at any second.
"She's innocent. She doesn't know what she was doing. She was abandon. She doesn't know how to feed properly and thought she was doing ok." Maria explained. Chuck dropped the stake but picked the girl up not wanting to set her free.
"What's going on?" I spoke up. Everyone turned around not knowing we were here.
"Gwen, come quickly. Heal Geoff, he's going to die." Maria said, not helping Bridgett in anyway. I ran to him and put my hands on his chest, just like I did with Trent when he was dyeing and my hands began to glow a faint golden color. Soon Geoff's eyes opened and Bridgett grabbed him in a huge bear hug.
"Ok now can someone tell me what's going on?" I asked as the newly reunited couple began to furiously make out.
Maria got up and walked to the vampire girl. "There, there. It's ok." She said taking out a handkerchief and wiping her bloody face. "But you cant feed off humans. It's savage." Maria said slightly scolding her. "Tell us your name and your story please." Maria said in a kind tone.
"I-I'm Liddy. I am 14 and was turned 5 years ago." She said.
"5 years? And you've been feeding like this?" Maria asked.
"There is no other way." She said.
"Who is your creator?" She asked Liddy.
"I don't know. I woke up like this. I had to learn everything on my own." She said slightly crying.
"Not anymore. We'll take care of you." She smiled. Then she gave Liddy and hug and all seemed fine. "But no more feeding on humans." She said once more in a stern tone.
"And I ask again. What the hell happened?" I said with anger rising in my voice.
"We were standing there and suddenly this young girl came and tackled Geoff and dragged him off. We followed and saw her trying to drain him." Maria explained.
"Well I saw it was a vampire place. And there were humans around. I thought they were for food." Liddy explained herself.
"These humans are our friends. Not food." Maria said.
"Let's get back to the cabin and come up with a plan for the Elders." Chuck said.
"This is if Gwen and Trent don't need it anymore." Duncan said with a wiggle of his eye brow. I blushed slightly and Trent just snickered. As we all began to walk to the cabin we heard a rustling in the trees. We looked up to see another vampire swarming down on us. She pushed Maria away and grabbed Liddy in a protective way. The vampire girl began hissing making the humans back up, the wolfs take form and growl, but the vampires had no change.
"And who are you?" Maria asking in her motherly tone again. The girl vampires turned to face her. Her long black hair, reaching her knees, swishing with her movements, she also had on a black t-shirt with a ripped black skirt over dark blue jeans.
"None of your business." She hissed backing away from Maria. Everyone else just watched as Maria carefully approached the girls.
"We won't hurt you." She reassured. She touched her shoulder making her flinch and Liddy lunged to Maria but the other vampire girl held her back. "Please tell us." Maria said.
"I'm Kate. This is Liddy. We're best friends and we were made this way. We've been tormented and are just trying to survive." She said threw clenched teeth trying to break free from Maria's grasp.
"Tormented? By who?" Chuck chimed in.
"Your kind." She spat. "We're their test subjects. And we're not going back." She said and getting in a defensive position and Liddy followed.
"Wait, who?" Maria said.
"Your stupid council. You think they are so nice and kind. Bull shit." She hissed.
"You mean our council did this to you guys?" Maria asked in a disgusted face.
"We've already said too much." Kate said grabbing Liddy's hand. Before they could run off Maria grabbed them.
"Let us help you." She said.
"We don't trust you." Liddy said.
"It's us, or you'll be killed soon." Maria said. It's true, if not by the council but someone.
"We were made to kill. Humans, shorten the population." Kate said playing with her hair. "I don't mind telling you everything." She said with a smile.
"Everyone go home. Humans, we don't want you in this anymore. It's too dangerous and doesn't involve you. Go home, and never speak of this." Maria said authoritively. "Wolfs, stay clear from danger but stay close, mind the forest?" she asked as the pack shook their wolf heads 'no' "Duncan, Gwen and Trent, find a safe place to stay but do not go home." Maria said. "Chuck and I will take Kate and Liddy with us." Maria said wrapping her arms around the girls shoulders. "No everyone go." She said and everyone despite but Duncan Trent and me.
"Now what? Where do we go?" He asked annoyed.
"We? Don't you mean you? Gwen and I have a cabin a few feet from here." Trent said grabbing my hand.
"Cool, I'm crashing." He declared.
"No way. It's my cabin and I decide who stays and who goes." Trent said slightly angry.
"Dude just say it. You want me gone so you can be alone with her." Duncan said raising his eye brows. Trent looked ready to kill him. It was the whole lead vampire thing taking place. 2 guys and 1 girl, and everyone wants control.
"I want you out so Trent and I can be alone." I spoke up. Both guys turned to look at me. "What? I nearly died. Cant I have some TLC with my man?" I asked slightly annoyed. Trent grinned from ear to ear as Duncan smirked and ran off after the wolf pack. I knew he was going after Courtney. I'm shocked she's okay with sleeping in wolf form.
Trent turned around and smirked at me. "What?" I asked giggling slightly. He just stood there and raised an eye brow making his smirk larger. I couldn't help but giggle and blush at his gaze. "Are you just going to stand there, or are we heading back to the cabin?" I asked.
"That depends. Why are you in suck a hurry to get back?" he asked. I could feel the blood rushing to my face and Trent caught on to it. He chuckled at me and I decided that instead of letting him get to me, I'll just run back with out him. With a chuckle of my own I turned around and sped back to the cabin. But I didn't make it inside.
Trent glomped me right in front of the small house and showed no singes of letting go. "Why in such a rush? We have time." He purred in my ears sending a shiver down my spine. Then he nipped my ear lobe gently making me bite my lower lip to refrain from making any noise. I opened my closed eyes and saw the drained body still dangling from the tree.
"Trent. We should take care of that." I said nudging to the body. Trent moved his attention from me to the body.
"Hmmm, go inside and get ready. I'll take care of it." He purred in my ear.
"Ready? For what?" I asked half annoyed and half flirty. It might be what I'm implying but I'm still a lady and Trent will not start treating me like a piece of meat.
"For bed if you want. Unless you want something more." He said nuzzling my neck.
"You got 10 minutes. Take care of it, properly, and I'll think about it." I said breaking free from Trent's grasp.
"I only need 5." He said and zoomed off in a great speed with the body. I giggled to myself and ran inside the cabin waiting for Trent to return.
AN: DONE. Finally. Its been slow I haven't had much inspiration for this story but I have ideas for others coming out of my wazoo. Okay sorry it was a long wait. But tell me. Should I write the next 'scene' or skip it like I did before in book 2. Let me know.
