Klaus's Pet Book 2

29

Lorelei's POV:

I sink my fangs into a woman's neck. Rebekah convinced Hayley and I to let loose a little. After much resistance, we gave in and crashed a party a few towns over. It was nice to let go for a bit.

Rebekah feeds on a man next to me.

"I was right wasn't I?" She says

Hayley and I share a look as she makes her way towards a human a few feet away. I watch as she approaches him, stalking her prey subconsciously. It's a trait vampires and wolves have in common. Laser like focus when it comes to your next meal. She sinks her fangs into his neck and holds him upright.

"Right as always Becks." I tell her

When we all finish and heal up the people we fed on, we contemplate our next steps. It's a bit crowded on the streets tonight due to the festival but nobody wanted to attend tonight.

Everyone's wiped out.

Five minutes later we're home. We hear shouting as we walk in, finding Nik and Freya in the midst of a heated argument.

"What the bloody hell is going on in here?" Rebekah shouts causing the yelling to halt as they turn to face us.

Nik gestures to Freya.

"Why don't you ask our dear oldest sister what she's been up to? I need some air." Nik says and brushes past us heading out into the street

We turn to Freya for answers.

She rubs her forehead and sighs.

"We have a problem."

"Clearly." I say

Hayley shoots me a look before turning her attention to Freya.

"What happened?" Hayley asks her

"Vincent and I have been keeping an eye on the covens around town. Making sure everyone's keeping the peace, witches are performing safe spells, not plotting against anyone, that sort of thing. We started getting word from the covens that witches had been disappearing. Nobody could track where the missing people went. Then they took a vampire. Family came forward demanding answers and I had to tell Nik. He didn't take it well."

"How long has this been going on?" Hayley asks

Freya looks like she won't answer for a moment, then sighs and sits down.

"A few weeks. We're still working on it." Freya says

She puts her face in her hands. Her hair is a mess and there are dark circles under her eyes. She looks like she hasn't had a good night sleep in a long time. We hadn't seen a lot of her lately and now it all makes sense. While we'd been dealing with our daily shit, she and Vincent were hunting down whatever was snatching the townsfolk.

Hayley looks off in the distance looking worried and I can tell she's thinking of Hope. A lot of drama happens in New Orleans. More than what any human could imagine.

Wars between species.

People turning on their own kind.

I decide to go find Nik.
