Blood Lust ~ A Sequel to Blood Ties

Chapter 1

****Eddie's POV****

"CALM DOWN. HOLY SHIT. YOU NEED TO BE PATIENT WITH IT!" I shouted.

"Eddie..."

"You're fucking thinking it. Harrington. And Hargrove is gone. He and that fucking thing took their chance and fucking took off because of this shit. It was a fucking test." I snapped as I got up and began to pace around the shallow grave.

I can't hear anything from her, no heartbeat, no blood, not a damn thing... I don't know if I got to her in time and I don't have the fucking balls to tell everyone here. Harrington is already suspicious. Buckley is ranting and raving... Something about Rabies and in her head she feels as though she's gonna die next. Hardly the case, I won't let anything happen to any of them. I kept Dustin closest to me. The kid refused to leave but I can't risk losing him too... Harrington needs someone to lean on if by some stroke of luck I save Y/N...

"Eddie... What's gonna happen?" Dustin asked, "Is... She coming back?"

I shrugged, "I don't know... I hope so... Umm. Do me a favor and check on Buckley... I'm gonna talk to Steve real quick... Check in on him." I said, lying about that last part.

Harrington is a complete and total wreck and he is trying not to crumble on the outside. The guy's head is louder than Buckley's and I swear she is on a whole other level of paranoid and worked up... But do I blame them? No. I do know however, Harrington is gonna be the only one who can carry out what I'm about to ask of him, and he'd probably do it with pleasure...

"Can I talk to you in private for a sec..." I asked as I approached him.

"What?" He asked.

I pointed my chin in another direction, away from everyone, "In private."

He grew skeptical, "What's going on?"

We walked a few feet away but close enough for me to be able to reach the others if I heard ANY signs of movement, "I need to ask you for a favor... And it can only be you..."

He raised an eyebrow, "Okay..."

"If she doesn't come back... If this doesn't fucking work... Kill me, Steve Please..."

His jaw dropped, "Eddie... I-"

"A life without her, even an immortal one, isn't worth fucking living, Harrington. I can say that with one hundred percent fucking certainty. If this doesn't work... Take me out."

"I can't just-"

"As if. I know you've been dying to get a decent shot in on me since you learned what I am. Since you found out I took back what's mine..."

If I bait him into being angry... He'll do it. He'll jump at the opportunity to get the closure. Knowing he killed the killer. What do ya know. Eddie Munson was a monster all along. A self fulfilling prophecy.

"Come on Harrington... I took her away from you not once... But twice... And then you watched me fucking kiss her..."

I could feel the anger welling up in him but his mind is and I know just the fatal blow to make him really just burst into a full blown rage. I know what he needs, a little push.

"Eddie. I'm not gonna do that... I can't do that to Dustin. He'd lose you twice." Steve explained.

He would use Dustin against me, but I need to be stronger than him... Both physically and mentally. Even when it comes to Dustin. I have to remind myself at the end of the day, Dustin is safer away from me than he is around me. He is very trusting, but danger follows me, and I know he is safer away from me.
