Crystal High

No Going Back

As Andrew slowly opened his eyes, he saw a figure standing at the end of his bed. It was George, the third leader of the Bloodshed clan.

Andrew sat up quickly, his heart racing. "What are you doing here?" he asked, his voice shaking.

George smiled, his eyes glinting in the early morning light. "I came to talk to you, Andrew," he said. "I want to make you an offer."

Andrew looked at George, his eyes filled with suspicion. "What kind of offer?"

George took a step closer, his eyes locked on Andrew's. "I want you to join us," he said. "I know that Leo and Hugo are dead, but we still have a chance to take over the vampire world. With you on our side, we can do it."

Andrew shook his head, his eyes filled with disgust. "I'll never join you," he said. "You killed my mother, and you've been trying to kill me ever since. Why would I ever join you?"

George shrugged, his eyes filled with indifference. "Suit yourself," he said. "But just remember, Andrew. We're always watching. We'll be waiting for you, and when the time is right, we'll strike."

With that, George turned and walked out of the room, leaving Andrew alone and shaken. He knew that he had to be careful, but he also knew that he couldn't live his life in fear. He had to stand up to the Bloodshed clan, no matter what the cost.

After George's visit, Andrew's hands were shaking as he reached for his phone. He knew that he had to tell Jacob what had happened.

With trembling fingers, he typed out a message to Jacob. "George was here this morning," he wrote. "He wants me to join the Bloodshed clan. I'm scared, Jacob."

Within minutes, Jacob was at Andrew's door, his eyes filled with concern. He wrapped Andrew in a tight hug, holding him close.

"I'm here, Andrew," he whispered. "I won't let anything happen to you. We'll get through this together."

Andrew felt tears prick at the corners of his eyes as he buried his head in Jacob's chest. He knew that he was safe with Jacob, and that he could always count on him.

Together, they sat on the couch, talking and holding each other close. Andrew felt a sense of peace wash over him as he realized that he was not alone in this fight.

Andrew and Jacob received a message to meet George at the park in one hour. Andrew was anxious, and Jacob comforted him, assuring him that they would figure something out.

When they arrived at the park, they found George waiting for them, surrounded by his cronies. He sneered at them, his eyes filled with malice.

"You're too late," he said. "I've already won. You'll never take me down."

But Andrew and Jacob refused to back down. With a fierce determination, they charged at George and his followers, fighting with all their might.

George revealed that he had a final trick up his sleeve. He motioned towards a figure standing behind him, and to Andrew's shock, it was his mother.

"Mother!" Andrew exclaimed, rushing forward to embrace her. But George held up his hand, stopping him.

"Don't get too close, Andrew," he said, a cruel smile on his face. "Or you might regret it."

Andrew felt his heart sink as he realized what George was saying. "What have you done to my mother?" he asked, his voice shaking.

"She's one of us now," George said, his eyes glinting with triumph. "A vampire, just like the rest of us. And if you want to save her, you'll have to join our ranks."

Andrew looked at his mother, his mind reeling. He didn't know what to do, and he didn't want to risk his mother's life. But he also didn't want to become a vampire.

Andrew knew that he had no choice but to join the Bloodshed clan and undergo vampiric transformation to save his mother. He looked at Jacob, his heart heavy with guilt.

"I'm sorry, Jacob," he said, his voice trembling. "I never wanted to become a vampire, but I can't let my mother die."

Jacob looked at him with compassion, his eyes filled with understanding. "I know, Andrew," he said. "I'll be here for you every step of the way."

Andrew knew that in order to become a vampire, he needed to drink the blood of another vampire and then feed on human blood to complete the transformation. He looked at Jacob, knowing that he couldn't offer himself up as a donor.

"I don't know what to do," Andrew said, feeling lost.

Jacob put his hand on Andrew's shoulder, his eyes filled with compassion. "Don't worry, Andrew," he said. "I'll find someone who can help us."

And so, Jacob reached out to his contacts in the vampire community, and found a vampire who was willing to help Andrew undergo vampiric transformation. The vampire gave Andrew his blood, and Andrew felt himself getting weaker and weaker.

As the vampire's blood flowed through his veins, Andrew felt a sense of euphoria, followed by a sharp pain. He gasped for air, feeling like he was drowning.

And then, everything went black.

When Andrew woke up, he felt different. His senses were heightened, and he felt an insatiable hunger for blood. He knew that he needed to feed on human blood to complete his transformation.

Jacob watched over him, making sure that he was safe. "Welcome to the world of vampires, Andrew," he said, his eyes filled with warmth.
