I'm Being Stalked By A Ghost & Hunted By A Vampire

Part Seventy-Five

"We lost her." Alex announced as Sven follows close behind him back into the kitchen.

"Damn!" Hasten curses; he is now standing in front of the booth, his fist clenched and his features distorted with anger.

"Should we run?" Alex suggests as Solaris shakes her head, "They'll track us down if we try to run." You pause, "They can track us down?" Avent tunes into the conversation, "Of course, most of us still have our creators. Rumor is yours, while Hasten is Alexs" you nod your head curious as to how that works,

"You will stay connected to the one who made you. So that means-"

"I'll always have a connection with Rumor?" you say, not realizing how distasteful your voice sounded.

"No matter where you go, I'll find you." Rumor teases, still standing off by the door. "I'm permanently stuck with you?" Alex says with disgust towards Hasten, as Hasten pays him no mind.

"We can try to split up." Solaris suggests, "I can take Emi and we can go into hiding! My creator is no longer with us, so they have no way to track us down. Also I can take Alex for extra measures."

Avent looks towards Solaris with concern, "It won't do, and we can't keep Emi hidden forever. We should request a pardon. Surly we can work out some sort of agreement with the Elders."

You sit back in your seat, thinking over your options. If you do go into hiding, you would force everyone into hiding. You would completely uproot their lives, and in the end, they may hate you for that. Though it is Rumors fault, you do not want to be a burden. To go through so much trouble over such a ridiculous matter, it is not worth it.

'Emi' you pause when Farons voice echoes from within,

'Turn yourself in. You will be of no use if you're in hiding.' You find his wording off putting, as if the safety of your friends was not a concern.

But why would it, Faron is a god amongst the immortal of the world, he has one goal, and that's collecting what belonged to him.

'Are you sure?'

'Trust me.'

"I agree with Avent." You speak up, Hastens head turns sharply towards you, but you stop him before he could speak, "You must be mad to think you can hide me forever. They're obviously going to find us, there is no use in preventing the inevitable. We need to go to the elders, maybe they'll give us a break for turning ourselves in?!" you try to sound cheerful while hiding your fear. You can't help but think if this group is afraid of their Elders, you could only imagine the reasons why.

The idea makes you shiver.

"If this is what Emi wants, I will happily oblige" Rumor chips in as you turn to him, his smile looking rather devious.

"You realize this may result in your death?" Hasten spits out, glaring at Avent for suggesting the idea in the first place, "It is what it is, I take full responsibility for my actions." Rumor adds, seeming pleased with the plan.

"They'll have to listen to me, I'm their leader."

"This is the best plan of action?" Hasten states with disbelief, as he turns his body around to face you, releasing an agitated sigh.
