Chapter 34: Collateral

While Mallix sat on his bed talking to both his brother and friend about the couples recent incident, Lain was having a little meeting of her own.

As she entered the small room currently holding the teens, the woman glared at them all silently as the boy who was banging at the door cowered back towards his friends who were sitting on the bed.

Without saying a word Lain shut the door behind her and turned back to face them with dead eyes.

"Let us go!" Zander yelled back.

His voice cracked as his constant screaming was causing his throat to run dry. He could feel himself losing his voice slowly. Zander knew that if he didn't stop screaming soon he wouldn't have any voice to scream with for a while.

But despite his cracking voice Lain just stared at them.

The teens couldn't take their eyes off of her either. It was almost as if they were having a stare off by how hard they were just glaring at one another without saying a single word.

The still air in the room was awkward.

Rosy was sat next to Alia as she tended to her girlfriends wound using clean water from the attached bathroom to wash it.

The pain in her leg was unbelievable. Luckily, they couldn't see any bones or muscles exposed over the skin level. The only thing that was visible, was the blood dripping from her leg that came out from a small gash she got while attempting to hop the couples tall gate.

But once Lain walked in the small girl froze in her tracks as she dropped the cloth from the bathroom and grabbed her girlfriends hand.

Alia immediate gripped onto Rosy firmly as she pulled both Zander and Rose close to her sides letting her adrenaline take away the pain coming from her leg.

"What do you want from us?!" Alia screamed as she laid with her bleeding leg on the bed.

But Lain just crept even closer into the room so that she was standing at the edge of their bed. "I could ask you all the same thing." She said lowly.

All the teens froze at the comment.

"You were the ones caught breaking into my home, and now you have the audacity to tell me to let you go." Lain chuckled as she shook her head. "No you kids don't get it. You broke into the wrong home tonight. And now you're going to pay the price." She threatened through her teeth before the blond girl sitting between her friends smirked.

"What? Are you going to bite us?" She sassily remarked leaving Lain flabbergasted. Not once had she ever had someone—especially a human—talk to her that way. Talk to her with so much disrespect.

It made the woman's blood boil.

Already knowing well that the teens knew of the monster within her, Lain didn't hold back as she let her fangs drop out past her lips as her sudden assets made Alia swallow her confidence.

But not for long.

There was still a raging fire inside of the blond girl. Something telling her that she had nothing to fear. She used her confidence up against Alex, and she was sure going to use it against Lain as well.

"You don't scare us." Alia commented with a roll of her eyes, making Lain clench the knuckles in her fist as her breathing intensified.

"You know what I am. So you know what I can do to you." Lain's eyes soon followed after her fangs as the teens were staring into her red orbs. "You should be scared."

"Listen lady, as much as you want to think vampires are all...well that," Alia snapped back, "you're just not. You're so old and outdated. At least those werewolves were nicer to us than you."
