Blood Moon | LUCAS

Chapter 4

What is she? Lucas thought as he watched in the shadows as the girl somehow convinced the paramedics that she was the dead man's guardian. He was tempted to run and join the scene as well but if his father found out that he was involved with the death of a man with bite marks, he would be in big trouble.

Lucas was about to walk away when he he was hit with another smell.

Death.

Lucas turned back to see that the girl and dead man were gone, the ambulance driving away. In their place was another man, where the smell of death was coming from.

"What the-"

"Don't."

Lucas felt someone join his side and realized who it was. "Kun-ge."

"Hi Lucas." Kun said, grabbing onto Lucas's arm and giving it a tug. "You should get going. Your father would be worried if you weren't home when he woke up."

"But the people." Lucas said, motioning to the crash site but to his surprise, the road that had been previously been blocked was now empty, cars and trucks passing by as if it were a regular day.

"I don't know what you're talking about." Kun said, but Lucas knew he was lying.

Did he spell it?

"Lucas, if you don't hurry up, I'm going to have to tell him myself." Kun said sternly.

Lucas ripped his arm out of Kun's grip, angered at the tricks that were clearly being played on him.

"There's no need. I'll go." Lucas said, walking away from the warlock and towards his own home.

After a few steps, Lucas decided to look back but as expected, Kun was gone and not a trace of his smell was in the air either. He couldn't help but shake his head, unable to wrap his thoughts around the events of that morning.

Who and what was that girl?

...

"Congratulations." Ten snickered, a smirk on his face as him and Evie stared at the man sprawled on the floor of their apartment.

It had been a huge ordeal just to compel all the humans that the man was just fine even though he had no pulse and Evie did not enjoy it one bit. Thankfully, Ten must have realized what had happened and quickly arrived, and for once, Evie was glad that the older vampire was there for her.

"This isn't funny, Ten." Evie spat back, feeling frustrated. "He had my blood."

"I know." Ten chuckled, sitting on the couch. "This is going to be so much fun."

"For you." Evie rolled her eyes as she stood up, fiddling with her ring. "When he wakes up in a few minutes, it'll be anything but fun for me."

"Oh come on, Evie. Relax a little." Ten said, his body sinking into the cushions. "It's the first time you're turning someone, enjoy it."

"Turning a human into a vampire isn't a good thing." Evie argued, glaring at her mentor. "I just stripped him from whatever life he had before."

Ten sighed, standing up from the couch. Evie watched as he gave the man on the floor a light kick, shaking the man's leg.

"Look at the clothes he's wearing, Evie. He's not a man of wealth. The jacket he's wearing is cheap. He probably lived alone in an apartment or something." Ten said before kneeling down. He slipped a hand into the pocket of the man's pants, pulling out his wallet. "Here, take a look for yourself."

Ten tossed the wallet and Evie caught it, carefully feeling the fabric before opening it. She gulped as she realized how thin it was, only a few cash bills and cards inside it.
