WillowCreek's Vampire Academy

Chapter 22- Digging

Would you guys prefer for me to publish as I write or to publish a bunch of chapters?

"Vampire what's now?" I raise a brow at Nathan.

"Vampire Hunters, I knew they existed a long time ago but I wouldn't think there would be any left." He shakes his head as if to clear it.

"Do you think their the ones who attacked me at the park?"

"Maybe...."

I bury my hands in my hair and start to massage my scalp.

"Why are they coming after me, their Vampire Hunters why are they after me? What about my m-"

Nathan grabs my face in his hands and turns me to look at him.

"Scarlette, Im not going to let anything happen to you okay" His thumb brushes against my cheek, "the last thing I'm going to let them do is hurt you."

I take a deep breath and sink into him. l rest head on his broad shoulder. One of his hands comes up to my hair while the other comes around my waist. I wrap my arms around his strong back and relax against him.

"I promise we will figure this out, but we can't do it alone."

I'm sitting on the couch next to Nathan, Thomas and I Jackson sitting across from us.

"Vampire Hunters... definitely not my favorite people." Thomas sighs staring at the symbol.

"You've had encounters with them?!" My eyes widen.

"Not me but Jackson has" he nods his head in his direction.

"Yea, one time some people in suits came to my house asking about my parents.." his eyebrows furrow

"Because they're vampires but doctors?"

"Correct." He smirks. "I can't think of a reason why they are after you though.."

"Join the club" Thomas lays back and puts his arm behind me on the back of the couch.

I see Nathan raise an eyebrow at the action. I look to Jackson and he looks from Thomas arm to me. I clear my throat.

"Okay, so what's our approach?" I lace my fingers together.

"I'll stay by you just in case anything like what happened at the park can't happen again." Nathan looks me in the eye.

"I'll help too" Thomas says on my right.

"Count me in" Jackson smiles.

I wish I could say no, but I was clearly defenseless at the park...

"Okay, fine but you guys don't need to act like body guards okay?"

"Deal." Jackson nods his head. I looked at my phone and notice the time and realize it's 5:00.

"Damn, I got to go. Moms going to be home soon, she doesn't need to see me come out of your house." I raise my eyebrows, " thanks for your help guys, really I appreciate it." I turn around and smile at them.

Before I close the door I turn back at them for quick peak. They all sit there eyebrows furrowed with their hands clasped together.
