Chapter 3: In the Woods Part 2

What's this?! Me posting two days in a row!?

Y/N POV:

Fucking boot licking money-hungry hypocrites! You thought as you walk away from the town into the woods. Well if money is what will make them dance to my tune then so be it. As long as it ensures a better future for all species to coexist then so be it. No one said this was going to be an easy clean road.

No matter what you told yourself you still couldn't help but replay what the Mayor had whispered to his fellow colleagues to calm them down before you entered the room. The only reason they listened to you and were kind to the Outcast was simply because of the high income the school generates. Now with you enlisted the town's funds were higher than ever thanks to your family and your godfather the King of Vampires dumping investments into the town to help your education and social experience.

Soon those fake smiles hiding fear will be replaced with true smiles..... I pray I will see the day this dream bears fruit. You thought as you continued walking deep into the woods, only to stop suddenly when a gothic girl came into view.

Instead of running over to her right away, you chose to stay a few feet behind her to see what she was doing. The longer you watch her, you couldn't help but find her to be admirable. She truly is an interesting human. No one would dare to get this close to a pack of Vampires and take notes on what they're doing. This girl truly doesn't care about her place in the food chain, she only cares about getting answers no matter what..... It's kind of adorable.

Upon realizing you found her antics adorable you quickly shook your head to dismiss such thoughts. She probably wants to kill me just like many. How curious that she is here.....

You quickly yet silently walk over to her and glance at her notebook to see what she was writing. Here analysis makes her look like she isn't connected to the beast. But that doesn't mean it rules her out of the suspects list.

Suddenly Wednesday stop writing and froze as she looked up. It was like she was having a flashback to something due to how stiff her body had become. You could clearly hear her heart beating faster and faster as the seconds went by. Her fear was flooding your nostrils as your predatory instincts were debating on jumping her for her reaction reminded you of the deers you would hunt at times to drink blood from. The longer you stood behind her the more you felt that mysterious itch on your back. It was an itch that always appeared when you felt the thrill of the hunt ever since you turned 16 which was a year ago.

It scared you. You never felt like that when you use to hunt. It was like there was something inside of you demanding you come out of you. Another side to your vampiric nature that was even more dangerous than the side the world knows.

Quickly you sniff out the predatory instincts by poking fun at Wednesday. "You Know I would suggest taking pictures to gain evidence of a crime scene Miss Viper or else no one will ever believe your findings. Wanna use my phone?"

As soon as you finish the remark you supernatural speed kick in to catch Wednesday's fist with one arm while the other grabbed her other arm to pin them both behind her against the tree. You moved forward a bit to push her body against the tree as you leaned in with a smirk as you lazily stared at her.

Her raven hair cascaded down her face as her almost black eyes bore into your Y/E/C with frustration.

"Wednesday"

"Y/N" she sneered. You couldn't help but give her a bigger smile as her warm breath splash your cold skin. She began to thrash in your grip. "Where have you been?"

"I think I should be the one asking the questions here Adams."

Wednesday lifted one eyebrow at you but stayed quiet. You took that as an invitation to return the question to her. She didn't answer. You ask again. Seeing that you weren't going to back down she answered, "You've been missing for a week. I saw your right hand at the cafe and decided to follow because I believed she would lead me to you since you promised to help me with something, remember?"
