The Vampire's seal lll : Love over immortality

Rescue plan

Michael

"So, what are we going up against? " I asked Freya, who finally reached us along with miss Secaw and Hailey. My eyes narrowed when I saw Hailey.

She was with him in his tent.

She seemed to have noticed my look of annoyance, because she made a pained expression before I looked away.

She doesn't know anything. Stupid girl.

I looked at Freya and saw her panting. I could now hear the tiny heartbeat of the child within. I instantly smiled, before I was reminded by Vale's menacing look that it was too early to celebrate.

Marceline was still missing. So it was my job to get her back. And that was exactly what I planned to do.

"Red obviously isn't what he claimed to be." I said thinking out loud. " That much is painfully obvious. He's not an ally, he's an enemy. And a powerful one at that. To be able to tempt me to turn over with a simple note, and to kidnap Marceline with such ease..."

"Gold eyes." Vale whispered under her breath. I looked at her confused. "He could have golden eyes."

Everyone looked at Vale with a crazed expression. I looked at her curious about what she had just said.

"That's preposterous. " Miss Secaw finally said.  "There's only three gold eyes rumored to still be around. Duke Damon in Europe, Ayumi in Japan, and the American Lawrence family's pair, which now all belong to Michael since their self destruct. The idea that two of them could be in the same continent? It's just not believable."

"Wait, what?" I asked surprised. "There's only three left?" I looked at Secaw,  who gave me a grilling look.

"Well, if you actually paid attention in class, you would know!"

Oops.

"I don't feel so good..." Freya said, obvious that she had been ignoring everyone up until that point. "Like, I really, really don't feel good."

Secaw looked over at Freya instantly worried. Hailey looked away embarrassed. "Is it the baby?" Secaw asked while catering for Freya. I looked at the floor too ashamed and feeling slightly guilty for having made Freya feel all of that pain when I noticed something that made my nose twitch.

It's... blood.

"I... I don't know... Mike?" Freya called out wanting reassurance. I ignored her. This was much more important.

Blood... blood... blood! It smells so... Good...!

"I'm sorry Freya," Vale said strained. "It looks like I'll just have to carry you."

"What?" Hailey said confounded. "Why? Can't you see that she's in pain?" Vale looked at her and sighed annoyed by me.

"Can't you see that Michael's about to go at it again?"

They all looked at me, and I felt my eyes burn. Standing up from my crouched position over the blood, I smiled. I felt some of my teeth exit my mouth as I smiled, and I realized that my face alone must have made a gruesome sight.

But I didn't care.

I feel great! I thought to myself as I felt all of my sense highten. I could smell the fear in the air, see each individual blade of grass... hell, I could taste the sweat on Freya without even having to move.

After I smelled the blood, something slightly moved in me, but not completely. I had changed, but not really.

I had halfway transformed and hadn't even realized it.

I'm invisible. I'm powerful.  I'm unstoppable!  I kind of want more of this... This feeling! Whatever I think it is... I want more of it!

My ears perked up all of a sudden in a direction when I heard a scream from miles away. But it just wasn't any scream. It was Marceline's.

And she was terrified.

No... I need to save her first. She's always saved me, now it's my turn to repay the favor.

"Guys, come over here." I called, while tying together the strings of a risky yet satisfying plot inside my head.  "This is what we're going to do..."

[Another update tomorrow morning!  Goodnight all!]
