1 WEEK LATER

ROSE

I was sat in the lounge watching TV on my laptop doing some more school work much to Ricky's annoyance who was trying to get my attention by shooting me the famous puppy dog eyes. Everyone else couldn't believe that I was able to ignore Ricky and their focus was on me instead of the TV.

"Ricky stop annoying Rose while she's doing school work, maybe we need to get you neutered to stop your horniness."

I chuckle as Chris's threat seems to work and Ricky backs away from me looking scared out of his mind.

"Oh, you wouldn't dare Chris. I'm not that horny."

"You're the horniest vampire in the room Ricky, even hornier than Vinny and Ryan."

Ghost hit the nail on the head. Earning mumbled protests from both Vinny and Ryan, who were sat on each other's laps looking cute as a bug in a rug.

"Go to hell Sola." Ryan shoots Ghost the finger making everyone in the room laugh including me.

My eyes are drawn to the TV screen where the news came on out of the blue, it wasn't scheduled for another hour. Chris sits down on the arm of the sofa and turns the volume up cutting everyone's laughs off.

"We interrupt this program to bring a breaking development in the case of the four missing students. Unfortunately despite the countless search parties, the bodies of Tony Perry, Jaime Preciado, Jade Thirlwall and Leigh-Anne Pinnock turned up dead this morning in a ditch just off the main roads skirting the edge of the woods. Early reports state the necks had been snapped after the bodies were drained of blood through two holes in the side of their necks. Do we have a serial killer on our hands?"

Chris switches off the TV cutting off the news reporter. I close my laptop and put a hand on top of his to try and calm him down, because if looks could kill everyone in the room would be dead.

"Okay, who killed those students? I don't want any lies."

"Chris, none of us would do something like that. We're not stupid; we know not to bring attention to ourselves."

Ryan huffs defending the vampires in the room. Chris shrugs off my hand and slams his fists on the coffee table making the wood splinter.

"We're the only vampires in this town; the bodies were drained of blood in the same fashion as we feed off people."

Chris was getting angrier with each passing second. This was turning into a toxic environment and I wanted him to cool down before he ripped someone's head off to put them in their place.

"Come on Chris, you're coming with me to the store before you kill someone."

Getting up off the sofa I grab his hand and all but drag him out of the room.

~Store~

"Why did you bring me here Rose? I need to be getting to the bottom of which vampires under my roof is murdering high school students."

I roll my eyes at a pouting Chris as I push the trolley around the store.

"Shouting at them won't get any results, Chris. You need to think logically, out of all of them who is capable of that much murder."

I grab some more Pop Tarts and throw them into the trolley while Chris thinks over my suggestion. Everything in my gut was telling me that Ricky was involved in the murders somehow, especially after waking up to see him covered in blood the other night.

"Who do you think it could be Rose? I value your opinion."

I sigh, "as much as this pains me to say I think Ricky might be involved. The day you pulled me into the office when the students went missing I woke up next to Ricky who was covered in blood. Plus he met them briefly and threatened them after they were mean to me."
