Blood lust.

Chapter 22- Crunch.

Mel would slowly wake up on the sofa. He was in nothing but his boxers, his hair greasy as he looked down at his side. His side was still stitched up, Mel would slowly look at the time. 6:30 am. A groan would escape his throat as he slowly sat up. Ambling upstairs and into the bathroom. Stripping out of his boxers he turned on the hot water. He began to shower, letting the water slide down his body as his hair fell over his eyes. A soft sigh escaped his lips as he began to clean himself with the bar of soap. Shampoo bottles and conditioner bottles perched on the walls.

Lyla was downstairs. Her hair was in a pony tail as she wore her glasses. Wearing one of mels shirts and her panties with fuzzy socks on. She was also on her laptop searching up more names that the dragons want dead. However, she closed that out and began to try and get into darks system. She began to surface the heart of all dragons data base where dark had control of. However, upon getting there- she stumbled across a fire wall. Not just any other firewall. A skull symbol flashed the screen as lyla began trying to hack her way into it. However, she wasn't the best when it came to taking down firewalls. "Goddamn it!" She shouted slamming her fist on the table.

Mel would slowly walk downstairs. A towel wrapped around his waist as he looked over at lyla. "Hey.." Mel smiled lightly. Lyla lit up, smiling as she got up and ambled over to Mel, falling into his arms as she giggled. "Are we finalllyyyy a couple?"

"Fuck yeah." Mel would let out. Gently twirling lyla as she giggled. "I stole this for you last night!" Lyla ran to the kitchen, on the table laid an iPhone 6s. She ran over and handed it to Mel. "Bout time you had a phone, yenno?"

"Yeah beautiful." Mel would look at the phone. Punching in his fathers number as Mel rung the FaceTime feature. Trying to contact his father. His father would answer not too long later.  "Hello.. Mel?! Jesus son. When did you get a phone?!"

"Not important.. crimson, he's dead."

".. Jesus Christ. Better him than you, we sent ethan out the city before they built up the walls. He's safe with grandma.. everyone thinks you're dead."

"Far from it.. how are you and uncle ray?"

"Alive. Any leads on dark?"

"Met his daughter, I'm gonna try and see what I can squeeze out."

"Please be careful. The streets here are a war zone, the military tried to help.. but that didn't last long. I'm just confused."

"About?"

"Dark had political strings nation wide. And suddenly the USA is turning against him?"

"Maybe a change of heart?"

"Hopefully.. I'm gonna go son. Me and your uncle are gonna go try and save more people, be safe."

"I will pops.. also I have a girlfriend!" Mel hung up, stuffing the phone in his pocket.

"You're going to school now?"  Lyla spoke looking up at Mel.

"Nah.. I wanna spend some time with you." Mel would smile as lyla giggled. He took her hand, raising her hand up to his lips as he gently pecked her hand. The two would spend a few hours together, laughing, telling jokes, cuddling before the time: 12:30pm came around, lunch was at 12:45pm.

Mel would groan as he leaned his head back, lyla sitting on his waist. Surfing her finger tips through his hair. "What's wrong?"

"I gotta face them."

"Killer X and Emily?"

"His Name is Jio."

"Nice. Why? What's wrong?"
