Chapter 3:

It was peaceful. The only sound that could be heard was the waves crashing against the concrete wall in which river wafted through the outside of the city. The area was quite old, filled with many worn out steel warehouses, the wear and tear of them even obvious to the birds who built their nests in them. It was definitely not the kind of place you would expect to see anyone hanging around, much less two teenage boys.

But there were two teens there. They had parked their red convertible on the side of the road before commencing to walk down the dusty old path that led them to the numerous warehouses that were situated there. They looked up and down at each of the warehouses as if looking for something. The slightly shorter boy, who was slightly nervous about coming to such a place, spoke up, the nerves finally getting to him.

"Logan…" he said as he glanced at a pigeon, which squawked loudly at him causing him to jump in panic, "Do you have any clue where we're going? I really don't like this place!"

"Not really… but trust me, I'll know when we get there. There are always symbols around to tell us where to go."

Carlos, not taking much relief from his friend's words just nodded his head in agreement anyway. It wasn't like he had a choice in the matter. He had been too eager to join Logan in his secret that of course, he had to jump onto the band wagon as well. So of course naturally, he was starting to regret his decision of even following him in the first place.

You see about a year before, Logan had said that he was going to go out on a date with Camille and he would be back about 4ish so that the boys would still have time to have some chill time by the pool. He had left the apartment after about ten minutes to go down to the lobby and Carlos had not batted an eyelid. That changed however when he went down to the pool to chat to the Jennifers in the hopes of asking them out, when he saw Camille with her hair dripping wet wearing only her red polka dot bikini.

"Camille!" He had called out to her. She turned around to face him and gave him a gigantic grin.

"Hey Carlos!" She greeted him as he walked towards her. Carlos of course was totally confused.

"Aren't you supposed to be on a date with Logan?"

Camille furrowed her eyebrows in confusion at this, "Uh… No. Logan and I haven't got a single date planned for this week. Why would you ask that?"

Carlos thought for a minute. Something was up. "Uh no reason… Talk to you later!" And at that he ran out of the Palm Woods. It took him 5 minutes of pure sprinting down the main street to catch a glimpse of Logan walking by himself down towards an abandoned warehouse just outside the city. 'Why would he be going there?' Carlos thought to himself as he continued to follow him down the street in complete stealth mode. It took a few more minutes before Logan turned into the abandoned warehouse and went in through one of the side doors. Carlos followed as soon as he saw that Logan was safely inside. He finally reached the door, with his hands sweating from a mixture of nerves and perspiration. He grabbed the door handle and turned.

When he opened the door the sight caught Carlos by total surprise and he gasped in amazement. It was like nothing he had ever seen before. I was like a gym. But there were mannequins that had painted on faces and out of the corners of their mouths… vampire teeth.

"What the hell is going on in here?" he gasped as he looked around at the sight before him.

"I could ask you the same question…" he turned in the direction of the woman's voice and had a mini heart attack. Standing there all dressed in black was Camille, who was partially shocked that he was there, but her leader persona was written clearly on her face.

"Camille?" Carlos stated in shock. He looked at her up and down and his eyes widened in realisation that he was not in fact dreaming. "What are you doing here? I just saw you at the Palm Woods! You had just gotten out of the pool!"

Camille chuckled slightly but immediately went back to her serious expression, making Carlos flinch slightly under her gaze. "Yes… I was there. Now I'm here. What are you doing here?"

"I was following Logan."

Camille nodded, seeming to take that as a reasonable response to her question. He looked around once more and asked curiously, "Where are we?"

"We're at a martial arts training facility… It's secret so no one really knows about it. It's like a secret club in a way."

"Carlos?" Logan turned in the opposite direction to where Camille was currently standing to see Logan, now dressed in all black, approach him at the entrance. "What are you doing here?"

"He followed you." Camille answered for him faster than he could open his mouth.

"Dude, why would you do that?"

"Well… I bumped into Camille a few minutes after you left and she said you guys weren't on a date so I thought I'd find out where you were going 'cause it must've been a secret… And I really like secrets!"

Logan and Camille glanced at each other, the look in both their eyes as if they were having a conversation in their minds. They finally looked back at Carlos as if they had reached some conclusion. "Carlos," Logan began, his eyes shining slightly as if he was a little excited about something, "How would you like to join this secret club?"

"Oh! Oh! Oh! Oh! Oh! I would! Of course I would! This looks so cool! I'll be like a real life ninja!"

"Well, not exactly."

The Latino furrowed his brows in confusion. "What do you mean?"

Camille glanced at Logan for a few moments before turning her attention back to the confusion of their friend. "Well, there's a little bit more to it than we let on…"

"We're actually Vampire Hunters…"

And that was how he had found himself wondering through these abandoned warehouses with Logan. They had been working together hunting vampires for a year now and although Carlos was only a novice, he packed a fight in him. Logan had always thought that he was exceptionally brave being this early on his Carlos' training, but he guessed that if anyone was indeed going to be the brave one, it would definitely be him.

Logan finally came to a stop at the door at the front of one of the warehouses; the pungent smell of seaweed engulfed their nostrils as he took a deep breath, hoping to God that he had found the right place. He knocked on the door in the specific pattern that the vampire hunters used as a code to allow other members to enter their training premises.

*knock* *knock* *break* *break* *knockknockknock* *break* *knockknock* *knock*

After a few moments of waiting the door was opened to Camille wearing blue jeans and a striped red and white tee. She had obviously just finished her training.

"Hey guys! Come on in! I've just finished up. But there are still lots of people around so I'm sure Carlos can get someone else to teach him."

"Where are you off to?" Logan asked curiously.

"I'm having lunch with my grandma so I gotta scoot! She doesn't like anyone being late…" She gave him a kiss on the cheek and ran out the door behind them, waving as she turned the corner. Logan sighed and turned to Carlos.

"Ok buddy. Looks like someone else is gonna have to train you…"

Carlos looked at Logan with his eyebrows furrowed in thought for a moment before he spoke, "Can't you train me? I mean wouldn't it be better for partners to train together instead of apart? I mean that way we'd get to know each other's strengths and weaknesses in a fight… which would definitely give us a stronger advantage."

Logan had to admire the dedication Carlos had put into the last year and he had to admit, that the boy was getting smarter with every fight that passed. Even though he was an advanced vampire hunter, having been training since he was around five, he knew that Carlos was probably right. They would need to become a stronger unit if they were going to take down any more vampires.

"Ok Carlitos!" He said as he walked into the training room, full of dummies and fighting equipment, "Show me what you got!"

Carlos ran towards his friend at full speed and went to kick his friend in the stomach which Logan easily dodged. He tried again and just like before, Logan easily moved away. Carlos continued to try and attack him but Logan was just too quick.

"Wha? How? Huh?" Carlos asked, puffing and gasping for air, the sweat dripping off of his face.

Logan just smiled and shook his head, "Carlos, you know all my family were professional Vampire Hunters so they started training me at an early age! More than a decade's worth of training adds up bud. It'll take a lot more than that to beat me!"

Carlos was always up for a challenge and immediately jumped to his feet, his fatigue vanishing into thin air. He was not about to lose to Logan. No Sir. This was his best friend who was going to be a doctor, who liked school more than girls, who wanted to spend a day at an all girls' school dressed like a girl just to get into a maths lecture. I mean this was LOGAN! He was not about to lose to Logan! His eyes narrowed as he stared at his opponent. Challenge Accepted. It was game on…

They continued to train together for a few hours more, feeding off each other's weaknesses and strengths. By the end of the session, Logan had managed to teach the Latino some very important skills for future kills and Carlos managed to figure out the smart boy's weaknesses, which would enable him to step in and help in a fight. All together, the two boys felt like they had had a productive day. And now, as they packed up to go home and walked to the car, all they could think about was how they couldn't wait to have a nice warm shower, stretch their legs out on the plush orange couch and watch some TV with the other boys in their safe Vampire-free apartment.
