Vampire crush

Chapter 27: Strange Scars

Kendall POV
It's finally the weekend. I sleep in until about 11. I usually sleep later but I heard a weird noise. Not like a crash but more of a bang.

I get out of bed and walk into the kitchen. Nothing.

I walk into my brothers room to see if he heard it. He's not even in there.

I walk into the living room. Nothing.

Where is my brother?

Then I heard that same noise. It came from the basement. I walk down the creaky steps. They squeak with each step I take. I turn on the light and look around. I only see my dog max.

"Hey Max. I didn't know you were down here, I'm sorry buddy." I say to him.

Then, all of a sudden, there's a banging on the window. Max runs back into the house. I walk towards it and see a surprising face. It's my brother. Taylor. Covered in dirt and with leaves in his hair.

I quickly open the window and let him in. He usually sleeps in a white, clean, tank top. But it's all torn up and dirty.

"What happened to you?" I ask him worriedly.

"I don't know. I went to sleep in my bed and then I woke up in the woods. I think I fell into a bush or something." He says, revealing a scratch on his arm.

"Maybe you sleep walked. Go get some breakfast, I'll be right there."

The scratch on his arm doesn't look like a normal scratch. I don't think it's from a bush or a tree. I'm not sure where it came from. It's like I've seen it before, but I can't remember how.

---

It's almost dinner time and that scratch is still in my mind. I can't stop staring at it.

I put Max's food bowl down and he starts eating it right away. Then I start to put Dukes together. Duke is my brothers dog.

Taylor tries to give it to him but he is backing away from him. Like he will hurt him or something. Like he is an alpha. Like he's afraid. That's weird. Usually his dog is all over him.

"What's wrong with Duke?" I ask Taylor.

"I'm not sure. He's been like this since I got home. Can you feed him? I'll be right back" he says.

Weird. He's not afraid of me.

I watch my brother go into his room. I quietly follow him. I know I shouldn't but my curiosity made me. I slowly look into his room.

He is sitting on his bed, taking off a bandage. Only it reveals that weird scratch. Except now it's bigger and looks worse. More painful than before. How does that happen?

Hey readers! Sorry I haven't updated in so long. School just got out so I've been studying for exams and I've been busy with dance. I'm going on vacation and I won't be back for a while so I may not write. I will if I can though.
