Blood Lust

Chapter Eight

After finding the grimoire to make the golden arrow they decided today would be the day that they would make it. Michael sat down on his bed along with Jayda, Raul, and Sean to talk about how they were going to make the golden arrow. Their conversation was interrupted by Arianna rushing inside of Michael's room with big news to tell them. "I'm guessing you guys haven't seen the news," Arianna said "what happened," Sean asked "Emma is dead. They found her body this morning. Her heart was ripped out". Once Arianna said that they all froze and looked at each other to try and figure out who could have killed her. "You don't think mom did it do you," Michael asked "why wouldn't she. Emma knew a lot about her and Dylan," Arianna said "but why would she kill her" 'unless it wasn't her" "you think Dylan did this" "maybe". While they continued talking Sean looked over at Jayda and noticed she was very upset because of Emma. He helped her off the bed then walked with her into his room to talk to her and make her feel better. "Are you okay" Sean asked while putting his hand on her shoulder "I'm fine" Jayda answered "no you aren't. I know what you're feeling" "Emma was my best friend and now she is dead" "she got you banished from your home" "I know but she didn't deserve to die". They continued talking until Jayda started feeling better then they both walked back into Michael's room. When they were all together again Arianna started telling them how the killer could have been Dylan. Arianna said how Dylan might be finding out more of his mother's secrets and when Emma didn't tell him the whole story he killed her. "That does sound possible but what if Dylan already knows everything," Raul said "our mother is a compulsive liar. I don't think she told Dylan everything," Michael said, "we might be able to bring Dylan on our side". Once they finished talking Michael grabbed the grimoire and started going through it once more. When he finished going through it again he told his friends and siblings that they need to hurry and make the arrow.

Once Michelle woke up she immediately grabbed some food then sat on the couch and turned on the news. While she was eating her food a news report came on explaining Emma's death and how it was a little bizarre. As soon as the news report was finished she put down her food and rushed into Dylan's room. "What the hell did you do," she asked "what are you talking about" he replied "Emma. She's dead. She got her heart ripped out" "and that's my fault" "you went to see her last night and now she is dead" "IT WASN'T ME" he yelled. Then she stormed out of his room and went into her room to cool off before she did something bad. When she left Dylan got off of his bed and started going through some more of Michelle's journals and grimoires. About thirty minutes later and Michelle walked back into his room causing him to hide the journals. "Stay here. I'm going out" Michelle said "where are you going," Dylan asked "I have to check on the french quarter coven so they don't get suspicious" "they won't get suspicious" "you never know. Now stay here" "fine". Before Michelle left to check with the french quarter coven she asked Dylan again if he was responsible for Dylan's death. "How many times do I have to tell you, I didn't do it," Dylan said "then who did," Michelle said, "I remember seeing Sean and Arianna last night but the rest is a blur". As soon as he said that Michelle explained how Sean and Arianna must have attacked them and killed Emma. Dylan just shook his head then watched his mother quickly walk out the front door and into her car. Once she left Dylan walked out of his room and into his mother's room to see if there was anything else he missed. He finished looking before he found his mother's last journal about the merge and her life. After looking for something and finding nothing he went back into his room and read the journals and grimoires. He read about his mother's siblings, the merge, his father, and his siblings over and over to pass the time and to relax a little.

While Michelle drove to the cemetery to pay her respects and check on the coven she wondered if Dylan was telling her the truth. After driving for fifteen minutes she finally made it to the cemetery where she could see a lot of people walking in. She got out of her car and rushed inside to see how everyone was feeling and to pay her respects. Michelle walked around the cemetery until she bumped into Edna who had a bunch of tears in her eyes. "I'm so sorry about what happened," Michelle said "there is nothing you could have done," Edna said "she was too young" "we will avenge her". They continued talking in a hushed tone as people passed by them to pay their respects and visit Emma's grave. Once they were alone they continued talking and hugging each other until Edna started feeling a little better. After they finished talking Michelle walked to Emma's grave and stared at it while thinking about who killed her. "I'm guessing you didn't do this" Bailey said "what the hell are you doing here," Michelle asked "the coven was worried about you" "that doesn't mean come here" "I'm not really here". She thought for a moment then realized what Bailey meant by that "you're astral projecting" Michelle said. Michelle and Bailey kept talking to each other until Edna started working toward them which caused Bailey to fade away. "Who were you talking to," Edna asked "she was friends with Emma" Michelle answered "do we need to worry about her" "I don't think so" "do you have any idea who could have killed her". As soon as Edna said that Michelle thought for a moment then told her that the new visitors of New Orleans are responsible. Then Edna realized that Michelle was talking about Michael, Arianna, Sean, Jayda, and Raul which made her mad. "They will pay for what they did," Edna said "I was thinking the same thing but how" Michelle replied, "I don't know and I don't know but they will pay". They continued talking until Michelle walked away to walk around the cemetery and try to come up with a plan.
