Blood Lust

Chapter Twenty

Once all of the Mercados and their friends woke up they walked into the library to talk for a little bit about Carter and their family. They all sat down on the couch then began talking about what they should do with their new enemy. "We have the dagger so now we won't have to watch over our shoulders," Dylan said "just because we have a weapon to kill him doesn't mean we're safe" Sean replied, "but now we have the one thing that can kill an upgraded original vampire". After they finished talking they all walked into the kitchen to grab and eat some food while talking. While they were all eating some breakfast Michael started talking about the unification ritual a little bit more. Before Michael could start talking his only sister began to talk about Susan and the ritual to help her brother understand it more. "Are you sure Susan can be trusted" Arianna asked "of course I do. Why" Michael said "one part of the ritual is telling each other your secrets. All of your secrets" "that's fine. I trust Susan. She's a good person". After they finished talking Sean explained how he could use his powers to bring back Jonah from the dead. He said how phoenixes can resurrect people and animals like how they resurrect themselves. Everyone looked at each other then looked back at Sean and continued listening to his explanation. "How do you know you're strong enough to do it. You're still learning," Dylan said "it's the best chance we got," Sean said "we can always use our magic" "it would require a lot of magic". Then they quickly agreed to give Sean a chance but first, he would have to learn some control. As soon as they finished talking about Jonah and Sean they started to talk about Carter and Edna again. "After Carter dies we'll kill Edna," Dylan said "we already agreed to not kill Edna until she learns the truth," Jayda said "but don't you want her dead. After what she did to you" "of course I do but she has a right to know". When they finished talking they cleaned up their mess then walked into the living room to do research on phoenixes.

After Carter woke up to the sound of a gardener next door he rushed out of bed then walked outside in a huff. He looked around then noticed the gardener trimming some bushes next door so he walked over to him very quietly. Carter hid behind some bushes then saw the gardener accidentally cut his hand so he walked right behind him. "Are you okay" Carter asked "I'm fine. Do you have any bandages" Rafael asked "I think so. Follow me" "thank you. You are so kind" "thank you". They walked inside of Carter's house then into the bathroom to grab some bandages for the gardener's cut. Once they were alone Carter pretended to start searching for the bandages to make sure the gardener didn't get suspicious. "Do you have the bandages" Rafael asked in a confused voice "I have something better than bandages" Carter replied, "what is it". Before Rafael could say anything Carter turned around with red eyes and black veins from his eye sockets to his cheeks. He screamed and tried to run away but it was too late, Carter grabbed him by the shoulders then began feeding on his neck. Edna woke up to the screaming so she immediately rushed into the bathroom to see what was going on. She saw her friend Carter sitting on the floor with a smile while feeding on the gardener's neck. "What the hell is going on," Edna asked with fear "oh relax I'm just having a little bit of fun" Carter answered, "I thought we agreed you would feed on blood bags" "I changed my mind". Right after they finished talking Carter groaned then compelled the gardener to walk away and forget. Once Rafael was gone Edna and Carter walked into the kitchen to talk about their plan and what they should do. "I'm getting tired from all of this planning" Carter groaned "I don't care. We have to get rid of the Mercados" Edna said "talk to me like that again. I dare you" "I'm sick of you talking to me like that" "I don't care". She rolled her eyes then sat down and started talking about their plan to kill all of the Mercados once and for all.

"It says here phoenixes were treated like gods because they were able to bring back the dead" Arianna said "does it say how they did it," Sean asked "no it doesn't" "then keep looking. We need to find something". While they were all searching for something that could help Sean bring Jonah back from the dead Michael walked back into the room. He told all of his siblings he would be leaving to meet up with Susan and Connor but they all told him to stay home. Once they said that Michael just explained how he has to meet with them so they can prepare stuff. "You're always leaving to meet with the wolves," Dylan said "I'm going to become their alpha and turn them into evolved werewolves like me so don't you think I should be there" Michael explained "alright fine but be careful" "I will". Right before he could leave the house and meet with his soon to be wife his sister stopped him to talk. She told him to watch out for Edna or Carter because they don't know what they're planning so he hugged her goodbye then drove away. After he left they all sat down and started talking about Jonah and his siblings Abraham and Talia and how they must be feeling. "Maybe I should call them again," Sean said "could I do it," Dylan asked "I don't see why not. Let me give you their number" "okay thanks" "just let them know what we're planning" "okay. Be right back". Dylan then walked out of the library and into the hallway then he called his Uncle Abraham and Aunt Talia. While he was waiting for them to answer the phone he kept playing with his fingers because he was a little bit nervous. "Hello," Abraham said "hey Uncle Abraham, it's Dylan," Dylan said "hey, are you okay" "I'm fine I just wanted to check in. How're you feeling" "I'm doing okay. It just hurts losing a sibling". They kept talking then Dylan mentioned how Sean is working on resurrecting Jonah and killing Carter. After he finished explaining everything he said goodbye then walked back into the library to talk. Once they were together again he started telling his siblings and friends what happened on the phone.
