Hunted

Chapter 31

... Isaac ...

I knock once on the grape purple door, that seems very dark in comparison to the mauve house. Almost immediately a woman and man open the door, both look weary. "Is Lizzy with you?" The woman asks worriedly.

"No, we thought she was with you." I look around at the small gang of friends that came with us. "We're from the Hunting school. She left us with a note and poem." Everyone wears the same panicked expression.

"You better come in." The woman steps back to let us in. "You can call me Aunt Kelsey, or Kelsey if you prefer. My husband is Uncle Nate, or Nate." She introduces.

"I'm Isaac, that's Mason, Daniel, Clary, and Thomas." Clary and Thomas are good friends with Mason, and are currently in a 'serious' relationship. They've talked to Lizzy a couple of times and claim they're her friends. I don't know.

"Nice to meet you." Aunt Kelsey leads us to the living room where we all remain standing, but Nate and her sit.

"When was the last time you saw her?" I ask immediately.

"About a month ago. She said she needed to hunt, and she never came back. Blaise said that she found another Vampire, and he thinks that he kidnapped her." Wait, Blaise is here?

Suddenly, Blaise runs into the living room and jumps onto my lap in a show of affection.

His name was Aiden, and he seemed a little too interested in her powers. He took her to some club I think. He starts purring. I'm glad to see you safe.

"And this popped up a couple of days ago. It looks like it was slashed with blood." Nate stands up and guides us all to the backyard. On the beautifully preserved paint is,

The hunt will be exquisite. Whoever finds her first, wins...
