Blood Lust

Chapter Forty-Eight

When it was finally morning and everybody was awake they got dressed and ready then met into the living room to talk and plan. Before they could start talking someone knocked on the door so Sean opened it and let his two friends in. "Did you guys watch the news" Raul asked "not yet, why" Sean responded "the police found four dead bodies" "do you think it was the immortals" "yeah I do. I mean who else would it be" "it could just be new vampires in town". They all talked for a little while longer and then Jonah asked Raul about the dead bodies and if they had scratches or bite marks. Since Raul didn't know the answer to that question Jonah looked around the room and then sped away. "We need to follow him," Michael said "no we don't. Just let him handle it," Talia said "what's he doing" "I don't know but you have to trust him" "but what if something happens to him" "he'll be fine. Trust me when I say he can protect himself". Meanwhile back at the police station Jonah walked in and tried to find someone who could answer his question. He noticed Sheriff Lillian but he didn't want to talk with her and then he noticed another police officer. Just before he could do anything the cop noticed him so he asked him if he needed any help with anything. Instead of answering Jonah grabbed the cop's shoulders and started compelling him for answers. Jonah made the cop tell him everything about the dead bodies and when he got what he wanted he left. Once the male original made it back home he sat down on the couch to tell them what he learned. "The bodies had stab wounds so it wasn't a vampire," he said "maybe it was a witch," Dylan said "the bodies were drained of blood" "that doesn't mean a witch didn't do it. They might need their blood for a spell". Because Dylan wasn't getting it Jonah grabbed her hand and used his powers to make him see the immortals attacking people. After he did that Dylan pushed him back and told him to keep his illusions to himself and leave him out of it.

They all kept talking about the dead bodies and then Abraham decided to tell everybody the story of Demetrius and his partner Iris. While he was getting ready to tell the story everyone sat down on the couch and listened to him talk. "Demetrius was born human and Iris a witch in a town of witches and that's why they fell in love," Abraham said "so how did they become immortals," Susan asked, "after some of the witches turned on each other Iris's sister got hurt and died". Abraham also said how after that happened Iris got hurt when she tried to get revenge and kill the witches that murdered her sister. When Iris got hurt Demetrius realized he had to do something to stop him so he found a witch to help him. "Wait a minute so this all happened because of evil witches," Camille asked "can you let me finish," Abraham said "you're right sorry" "Demetrius convinced the witch to turn him and Iris immortal in order to help stop the witches". He explained how the witch decided to help the young couple so she cast a spell and created an elixir. Once they drank the elixir they passed out and when they woke up everything changed and doppelgängers were created. Right after that happened the witch realized what she did so she tried to fix her mistake by creating the cure and trapping them. When the immortals didn't take the cure the witch created the Other Side just in case someone found out how to kill them. Once he finished talking about the immortals and their story he told everybody that the witch that created them was an Erickson witch like Carter. "Maybe we can go through some of Carter's old grimoires to find out how to kill them," Michael said "Carter's been dead for years so his old stuff might not be at his house anymore," Arianna said "then we'll find another way to get it" "fine". They all kept talking then Arianna noticed the lack of bourbon and food so she got ready to leave to get some more. Before she could leave Tim ran up to her then they left and started walking towards the store to get some things for the house.

As they were walking to the store Arianna grabbed Tim's hand which made him smile but he didn't say anything to her. Both of them kept walking in silence and then all of a sudden Tim started talking about the immortals and what they should do. "I don't want to talk about them right now," she said "I know and I'm sorry but we have to figure out what to do," he said "I know that but I'm sick of wasting my time on talking with them" "could we please talk about it" "fine". Right after she said that they started talking about the immortals and what they should do with them and how they can protect everyone else. Tim said how if they use her as bait then he won't leave her side just in case something happens. "That's very sweet of you but I can take care of myself" Arianna laughed "not against the immortals. You need extra help," Tim said "yeah and my family will be there to help us" "alright but what if something happens" "you worry too much". Just before Tim could say anything to his girlfriend she pulled him and they started kissing each other passionately. Shortly after their kiss ended they finally made it to the store so they walked inside and started shopping. While they were going through the store Tim told her that needed to hurry up so they could plan with everyone else. Fifteen minutes later and they were finally done shopping so they walked to the check out lane to pay and leave. Once they finished paying for everything they grabbed all of their bags and started to walk home. They continued walking and then Arianna used her super hearing and she heard someone screaming. "Something's going on," she said "wait what. What's going on" he responded "I think the immortals are close by" "then let's get out of here and go home" "no. I want to talk with them" "alright let's go" "okay". Instead of going home, they put their things in a corner, and then they walked into an alleyway where Demetrius was feeding. Before they could do or say anything Iris noticed them so Demetrius stopped feeding and controlled the girl to forget what happened and leave.
