The Challenge | BOOK 2

28 - Drafting a Plan

What do you guys think is happening to Cassius and Drusilla? Do you think they've been taken for their blood? Who is behind it?

We arrived back at the pack, running fast towards Ezra and Jenny's doorstep. By now, I couldn't help but laugh. Liam and I were drenched again, head to toe wet with water. We probably looked like drowned rats.

Liam chuckled deeply as he pulled me up the porch steps and then knocked on the door. I tried to wring out my dripping wet clothes.

"I wish I could say that I hated the rain," Liam said, looking behind him at the scene before him. The rain, lightning and thunder was the best.

The front door opened and Jenny gasped as she grabbed Liam and I and pulled us into the house. She gasped again after she slammed the door shut.

"My goodness, you freaks! Don't move a muscle. I'm getting towels," Jenny scowled at us. I giggled as she turned and disappear down the hallway. She returned seconds later with a pile of dry towels and some dry clothes.

"Sorry for dripping on your floor, Jen," Liam apologises with a cheeky grin. Jenny rolled her eyes at him and walked away with a small smirk on her lips.

Liam and I dried off and the changed clothes quickly before we cleaned up the water on the floor and then headed through the house.

I grabbed the wet towels and clothes, tossing them in the laundry room before I returned to where everyone was. Frankly, I hadn't realised that Ezra and Jenny were having a big dinner, because all of our friends were sat around the table.

"Pussycat get her feet wet?" Bodie teased me. I rolled my eyes at him and kicked his chair as he chuckled. Everyone els eat the table had their eyes fixed on Liam, who seemed fine.

He was getting better. I hoped.

"Why the hell are you guys out here running around in the damn rain?" Leon asked with a chuckle. He had a bunch of playing cards in his hands. The guys were playing poker.

No surprise there.

Liam sat at the table as Ezra pulled up a chair. He sat, and I walked around to him, taking a seat on his lap. Ezra ruffles my wet hair from next to me. I grinned at him.

"Well, we were just with the witches," I started. Before I could get another word in, Lucas gasped.

"Did you see the moving dishes? They wash themselves!" Lucas shouted out. I rolled my eyes as Liam deeply chuckled.

"No, but the towels floated. They flew through the air by themselves," Liam replied. Lucas clicked his tongue and cursed under his breath. Brianna giggles from on his lap.

"Anyways," I cleared my throat. "Two of them have been kidnapped, by vampires."

Everyone frowned. The playing cards were put down as everything quickly became serious. Lucas snuck his hand into the middle of the table and sneakily took twenty bucks from the winnings pile.

Although, everyone saw and it wasn't sneaky. At all.

"We're thinking that they took them back to the city. Vampires love magic blood, and we think that the witches that were taken are going to be kept in some sort of underground vampire bar," I said. I heard Ezra mumble and looked to him.

"Witch blood is damn good. It's like ecstasy, but way better," Ezra said. I scoffed and rolled my eyes at him and Jenny punched his arm.

"What? So we have to go get them back? How?" Lila questioned. I nodded slowly and looked to Liam.
