Lost Alone In The Dark ● Calum Hood fanfiction ○

Chapter 16 ● Revenge runs in the family ○

Calum only just remembered that he has a knife with him. I can't let him drain me of my blood and make me into a vampire Calum thinks to himself. Calum sneakily takes the knife out of his pocket and stabs Cade in the leg. This surprise attack almost immediately makes Cade lose the grip he has on Calum. "Ouch!" Cade screams in pain. "Sorry, I can't let you drink anymore of my blood" Calum says moving a few steps away from Cade. "I'll stay with you till Darren shows up though" he adds.

Calum gets bored and just starts to think about things. Then something comes to him. He starts to remember something from a few days ago. He remembers the time when he was stuck in his own mind with Darren's thought. He gets a flashback to the time he picked up that notebook while looking for a way to escape. He recalls some of the little he read from the notebook before Darren made him drop it. This is so unfair Cade gets to go out with friends, have them over and go to school and all. But I'm just stuck here.

"Cade?" Calum calls him. "Yeah" he replies to Calum. "You know how Darren trapped me in my mind with his thoughts?" He asks Cade. "No I don't" he replies. "Okay, well he did, and I just had a flashback to when I happened to read his journal turns out he was envious of you" he responds. "What?" He asks surprised. "He wrote about you in his journal" Calum replies. "Why would you tell Cade that?" Darren asks Calum though his thoughts. "I just wanna annoy you" he replies to Darren. "Why?" He asks. "Because I'm stuck with your brother until you show up" he replies.

"You do know he tried to turn me into a vampire right?" He asks Darren. "Yeah, I know" he replies. "So, why didn't you show up? I got him to stop biting me but that doesn't mean I still can't stab myself so I turn" he responds to Darren. "Did Cade tell you to say that?" He asks Calum. "Nope, I'm saying it myself, I'm just bored of waiting for you to catch up with your brother" he replies. "I'll show up once you leave" he responds to Calum. "Cade will kill me if I leave" Calum responds back.

"You talking to Dare?" Cade questions  Calum. "Duh! Who else would I be talking to? You stole my phone" he answers. "I'll give it back once Darren meets me" he tells Calum. "He's only gonna show up when I leave though" he replies to Cade. "Fine, you can have your phone back so long as you don't try using it" Cade somewhat gives in, passing Calum his phone. Calum switches it off and puts it in his pocket. "You're gonna hate this, but I know how to make Darren arrive quicker" Cade replies.

Cade then grabs a hold of Calum's head in a strange manner. He starts to feel all Calum's thoughts. "What the  hell are you doing?" Calum asks Cade. "Something that's already been done before, don't distract me" he replies. "Ow my head hurts stop!" Calum shouts. "Keep quiet!" Cade shouts back. Cade holds on long enough so that he can feel Calum's mind in his hands. Calum then becomes unconscious.

Darren then finally arrives. "What did you do to him?" Darren asks his brother gesturing to Calum. "Just something to drive you and him mad" he replies. "Why did you do this?" He asks Cade. "Because I knew you would show up if I did it" Cade replies. "Why were you envious of me anyways?" He asks Darren. "It was because I wasn't allowed outside and dad had to pretend to hate me in front of mum and all but you on the other hand you were allowed to go outside, have friends over, get a proper education and all. It was just so unfair" Darren replies. "Yes, but that was before you destroyed my life" Cade responds.

"Do you think Calum's alright?" Ashton asks Luke and Michael. "He'll be fine, you worry about him too much" Michael replies. "I know I just don't want him to get himself killed or something" Ashton responds. "Darren may be a villain but he won't let Calum die" Luke responds. "Unless he's the one who kills him" Michael adds to what Luke says.

"You say that like you're so innocent, you ruined my life since the day I was born" Darren argues. "What do you mean by that?" Cade asks. "You always took everything from me, you were always mum's favourite while mum hated me and dad was the only person who cared for me and you killed him in front of the whole family!" Darren replies angrily. "I know what I did and it needed to be done, but that doesn't mean you had to kill mum and my fiancée!" Cade responds he too is angry. "And then you turned me into a vampire as well!" He adds.

"Shit Calum's waking up!" Darren shouts. Cade then gives Calum a really terrible headache which makes him stay unconscious. "That was revenge for what you did!" Darren replies to what Cade told him in a frustrated tone. "You never know when to stop and always take everything too far!" Cade shouts. "I could have had a family of my own but you took that opportunity away from me!" he adds. "I could have had a better life but you took that opportunity away from me!" Darren responds.

"What are you even doing with Calum?" Cade asks. "He's really important for something" Darren replies. "What?" He asks Darren. "I can't tell you" he replies to Cade. "I'm gonna spoil whatever you have planned for him" he tells Darren. "You're the one who said I take things too far, but you already turned Valley against me and now you want to turn Calum against me too, I won't let that happen" he replies to Cade. "Why does everyone you target have an elder sibling?" He asks Darren. "I have my reasons" he replies to Cade.

Cade then realises that with all the arguing and everything, he nearly forgot to try and force Darren to give him what he really needs from him. "I found out that I need your blood for something important, so you're gonna have to give some of it to me, or I'll kill Calum" Cade threatens Darren.
