We All Still Die

12|To Hunt a Vampire

Viktor and Sage

After class, Viktor walked ahead of Sage to go to the cottage. 

Sage followed him out and looked around. "Um, can I ask you something?" She began, curious as to why he would be willing to do it.

He nodded. He turned on his heel to his next class. "Ask any questions, I'll answer to the best of my ability." He took a steady breath. Turning Sage would make her his responsibility. He could do that, it would just be difficult.

"Why would you be willing to turn me? What would you benefit from it?" She asked curiously.

He looked down at her. "Benefit? None really, besides making you happy. I just...I don't really know why I want to, other than I want to." He knew it didn't make a lot of sense. He tried to explain further. "You are very clever and smart. You deserve the world you want. If I can help, I will. Plus, I'll be your sire which means I'll get to teach you. I like to help you learn."

Sage pulled her notebook out, sitting at the desk next to him. "A sire? Describe that to me." She was prepared to write it.

He nodded as he sat down in the next class. "A sire is the person that turns you. The fledgling-freshly turned- is their responsibility. I would be your teacher and protector. That's the simplest way I can put it." He wanted to make sure that she completely understood, so he was keeping it simple.

"Oh, okay! So like a mentor?" She wrote his explanation in the spot next to "sire."

"Yes, like a mentor." He smiled, she was catching on. He heard the bell ring. He gathered his things. "Time to head to the cabin, I have work to do. Do you wanna come?"

Sage nodded, putting her journal in her bag and throwing it over her shoulder. "Sure!" She smiled and skipped ahead of him to the cottage, eagerly thinking ahead to how she would turn. She didn't know how the transformation worked, but she was eager to learn.

Class had finished by the time they arrived and Lilith shrugged, making her way to her locker instead. Not that she really needed anything from there. She just didn't want to go to the lunchroom yet.

Eros followed her as he didn't plan on going to the cafeteria, either. He opened his locker and took out a pendant, which wasn't his of course. He looked at it carefully and put it back inside and locked the locker. He turned towards her as he leaned back on his locker.

Eros looked at the time. There was still a lot of time before eleven. "The time is going by too slow, isn't it?" he asked as he looked at her.

Lilith leaned back against a locker. "You're telling me..." she groaned. All she wanted to do was rip into some human's neck and feed, but she would have to be patient, wouldn't she? After all, once they carried out their plan, they could feed on all the humans they wanted. She smiled at the thought.

"I seriously can't wait ...." he said as he smirked.   After all, Eros really wanted to annoy Viktor in any way. He thought about how to distract the vampire to pull their plan off.

Viktor followed Sage at a slow pace to the cottage and checked the time, 2pm. He smiled. 

Sage arrived at the cottage, Viktor not too far behind. She looked at the door leaning on the side. "Is that one of the things on your to-do list?" She asks him.

When she spoke, he looked up. "That's one thing I need to do, yes." He dashed around and fixed the door in mere seconds. He stepped back, happy with it.
