Blood Lust

Chapter Seventeen

Now that they all knew Carter's plan and how they would stop him they all woke up and started talking to each other while Michael started cooking some food and Dylan got blood bags. Once they were done eating their breakfast they all continued talking about Carter and his new status. "How will we get close enough to dagger him," Raul asked "Jayda will distract him since Carter likes her. We already said this" Arianna said "that sounds like a good plan" "I still don't like it" Sean added on while Arianna rolled her eyes. As they were both talking Michael brought up the Mercado pack and how he would help them be like him. He started talking about Susan and how she is an alpha but he doesn't know a lot about her so why would he marry her. "You promised the pack you would help them," Dylan said "I know but I don't know a lot about Susan," Michael said "then why don't you take her out or something to get to know her better" Jayda suggested, "whatever I have to do it before Carter gets angry and kills them all". Then Michael explained how the full moon is coming up and how he would have to help the wolves through it. After he finished explaining everything about the Mercado pack he decided to leave to talk with them. When he said that they all said goodbye to him then Arianna explained how he should be careful as he got ready then left the house. "I've never seen him this passionate about something," Sean said "it probably has something to do with dad," Dylan said "you're right" "just let him do his things and he will figure it all out," Arianna said. Right after they finished talking about Michael and the Mercado pack Jayda said how she would be leaving the house. Once she said that Sean immediately looked at her and explained how he won't let her leave the house. "I'll be fine. We need a few things for the house," Jayda said "then let me go," Sean said "just stay here I'll be okay" "alright fine. Be careful". After they finished talking Jayda grabbed all of her things then left the house but not before kissing Sean goodbye.

Once it was morning Edna woke up and walked into the kitchen to talk with her friend Carter about their plan to kill all Mercados. Carter sat down right next to her at the island and started telling her how he would lure Abraham, Jonah, and Talia back to Pawtucket. He told her how he would bite one of the Mercados so they would call for the rest of their family for help. "That sounds like a good plan but it's a little dangerous," Edna said "how is it dangerous" "Sean is getting stronger by the day" "I never said I would bite him" "then who will you bite" "Arianna". Right after he said that Edna started explaining how Sean would come for him if he attacked his older sister. Before she could finish explaining everything Carter shushed her then said how he would go after Dylan instead. "You just need to be careful with what you do," Edna said "could you stop worrying about me," Carter said "I'm sorry but I'm sick of watching my friends die" "I'll be fine. I'm just as strong as them". They both continued talking about the Mercados and how they could use a golden arrow to protect themselves from Sean. Edna thought for a moment and then told Carter how the golden arrow is just a myth but her friend knew the truth. "A golden arrow is a phoenix's only weakness," Carter said "it's a myth," Edna said "it's not a myth. Michelle was killed by a golden arrow" "how do you know" "a witch told me about all of it". Right before Carter could say something else about the golden arrow his friend Edna interrupted him. She started telling him how they would have to find the spell for the golden arrow otherwise they would have to try to make one without the right spell. Once they finished talking about the Mercados and their plan a little more Edna noticed the lack of food. "We need to pick up some more food," Edna said "then go. You don't need permission," Carter said, Edna rolled her eyes then quickly got ready and left. When Edna was gone Carter grabbed a bag of human blood that he stole the other day then sat down and started drinking.

After walking for a long time Jayda finally made it to the store so she grabbed a shopping cart then walked inside. She started going up and down the aisles to grab a few things for the house while looking on her phone just in case Sean texted her. Because she was too busy shopping and checking her phone she didn't notice Edna walk inside of the store. Edna grabbed a shopping car and started shopping for some food and didn't notice Jayda at all. They both continued shopping for a few minutes without even noticing each other in the other aisles. Once she had everything she was looking for she started walking to the checkout lane and saw Edna. "What the hell are you doing here," Edna asked while setting the cart aside "I really don't want to fight," Jayda said while doing the same thing "then leave" "I'll be glad to but you're in my way" "oh my bad". Edna smiled and once Jayda took one step she said "motus" then Jayda was thrown across the aisle and onto the floor. Before Edna could say anything else Jayda started siphoning from her necklace then used her magic to pain inflict Edna long enough for her to run away. When Jayda was gone Edna left all of her things and went after her to finally kill her once and for all. After she left the store she quickly started looking around to find Jayda but she was long gone which made Edna grunt with anger. Then she went back inside to finish shopping while Jayda kept running to the house to protect herself from Edna. Once Jayda was far enough from the store she sat down to catch her breath and to think about what happened. She started panting hard while trying to wrap her head around everything that went down at the store with Edna. Right after she calmed herself down she started walking back to the house while still worrying about Carter and his new friend. When Edna was done at the store she grabbed all of her bags then started walking back to the house. She kept walking for about fifteen minutes until she finally was outside of the house she has been staying at.
