Love and Revenge

Chapter 7

Jake's POV

I shut the door and lock it. I walk out into the lobby and out to the parking lot to the car. I grab a blood bag and stuff it into my coat pocket. I hurry back to the room and open the door.

"You're only getting one-" I look around and see Dirk nowhere insight. "Dirk where are you?!"

I frantically look around the whole room and feel a slight breeze coming from behind me. All there is is a . . .window. And it's open. I hurry out the room and pound on the door to Dave and Jade's room. Dave opens it up with an annoyed expression.

"This better be a good damn reason."

"Dirk is gone."

He looks at me coldly. "What do you mean he's gone?"

"He left out the window. I went to get him some blood and when I came back he was nowhere in sight and the window was open."

"If he's not back by morning we'll go looking." Dave starts to close the door but I stop him.

"We can't wait. What if he does something?"

"Knowing him, he won't. Again, if he doesn't come back by morning we'll go looking. Now go to sleep."

He closes the door and I go back to my room. I close the window and go to sleep. Maybe Dirk just went out. He wouldn't do anything. That's not him. He probably went to get an animal or something. It's almost like he's a vegan demon or something. Feeding on mostly animal blood, most ridiculous thing I've ever heard. I quickly fall asleep.

I'm shaken awake by Dirk. "Where the hell have you been?" I reach over and put on my glasses and get a better look of Dirk seeing blood all over him. "What happened to you?!"

"I-I don't know. J-Jake I don't know what happened, I just blacked out and then I woke up in the middle of the street, just a few miles from here. I'm freaking out man."

"Okay calm down. let me just get Dave-"

"No! You can not get Dave."

"Why not?"

"Just please."

"Fine." I get up and take a better look at him. "Is any of that your blood?"

He stays silent.

"Dirk, answer the question."

He shakes his head.

"Who's blood is it then?"

"I don't know."

"Tell me everything that happened." I say sitting on the bed across from him.

"I was waiting here for you to get back and then I had this thought and I blacked out. Next thing I know I . . ." His voice trails off and he just looks at the ground.

"We'll talk about this later. I'm getting Dave and Jade and then we're leaving. Take the window out and meet us at the car."

Dirk gets up and jumps out the window. I go across the hall and bang on Dave and Jade's door again. Dave answers it looking very grumpy.

"We got to go." I say pulling the car keys out of my pocket.

"Why?"

"Dirk came back."

"What happened?"

"He . . .he just went out for a walk. Said he needed some air."

"Then why are we leaving."

"Pack it up and wake Jade up too. Don't make me ask again.

He just groans and pulls Jade out of bed, letting her fall to the floor.
