That Fang Called Love [boyxboy] [15]

Javen P.O.V

 

It’d been a week since Ezra had been released from the hospital. I hadn’t seen him at school nor had I heard from him apart from a text I got the day I went to go see him in the hospital. Ashton had also disappeared off the map, he and Sky had left town. Well I assumed they had her parents didn’t know where she was and I hadn’t seen either of them in a week.

I spent my nights prowling around town trying to scrounge up more information about who was supplying the blood for the FVA pills. My first thought was Ashton but he was too young to know anything about FVA, I thought of my brothers but neither of them knew we had a dealer in town. FVA was a harmful drug to humans; it was vampire blood with a kick of aspirin and meth. It was an addictive substance.

The vampire blood in the pill enhanced a humans physical strength and allowed them to see and hear better until the pill wore off, the meth provided the hallucinogens and the aspirin took care of headaches, and dizziness but made the pill addictive. FVA was dangerous not all humans that took even one pill made it. Ezra was lucky. It also meant he had better chance of surviving the change.

FVA was illegal, not only among the humans but also among the vampire’s. Yes vampires had a council; they were in charge made up the rules, which were pretty simple. Stay hidden and don’t get caught, clean up after yourselves. But vampire blood was sacred, as the council thought; they hated the idea of vampires allowing humans to feed off us, to ingest us. The vampire council regarded us as the better species and thought it a disgrace that some vampires let humans fed and use them for their blood.

If it got out that the FVA was being made and sold here, well the council would come down to fix the mess i.e. killing every vampire in sight. And I couldn’t have them in town not when Lisa and her… I was suddenly snapped out of my thoughts when I saw Ezra walking across the road from where I was sat in the coffee shop that Connor had got a job in. Not that we needed the money but Connor needed to blend in, plus his cute professor had started going here to get her morning coffee now.

I stood up ignoring Connor’s protesting voice. I raced down the road after Ezra; he had headphones on so he couldn’t hear me. I looked around the road was too busy for me to use my vampire speed without someone noticing, so I just followed him at a fast human pace. But before I could catch up with him he turned into a building. I walked up to it and read the sign.

Eastwood Rehabilitation Clinic. He was going to rehab, wow. I sat on the stairs outside prepared to wait for him. An hour and a half later the door opened and a group of people streamed out, I looked at all of them Ezra weren’t part of the group. Suddenly I could smell fresh blood, it wasn’t a lot but it was delicious. My head snapped up and I spun round, Ezra was standing behind me watching me with shock and horror on his face.

I glanced down at the cotton ball tapped to his elbow blood stained it. I took a deep breath, Ezra smelled fantastic. He hadn’t used all week I could smell the last remains of drugs leaving his system, his blood smelt so pure and fresh and sweet. It was invigorating; I closed my eyes forcing myself not to think of him as food. I felt my gums tingling my fangs begging to be released.

“Javen? What are you doing here?”

I opened my eyes flashing him a lazy grin “I’m here to see you obviously”

“Oh...” he looked down the road left and right. I listened, as his heart jumped around in his chest, was he really still frightened of me? I didn’t understand why. I took a step closer to him and his heart sped up.

“Ezra… Are you frightened of me?” I whispered, I allowed the hurt to seep into my voice.

He swallowed and shook his head “No, you don’t frighten me, just the things you keep in your house do”
