Forced Vampire

Chapter 24

Lexa was standing in her room when Kai walked in...

"Hey, they said you were up. Are you okay?" Kai asked hugging her.

"You really have to stop worrying about me. You were the one whom they...they."

"I'm fine, I'm almost completely healed."

"Nicole and Tyler aren't safe."

"They probably won't get hurt anymore but we've put guards on them too."

"Wow. Nicole won't like that. How do you know they won't get hurt?"

"Most of the people who were at the house were killed except for Drone and Callie. They're here."

"What? They're here?"

"Yeah, in custody. Celeste told me but I haven't gone to see them. Don't worry, guards are with them at all times."

"But why are they here?"

"I have to decide what will happen to them. Now that they don't have a leader, who knows what'll happen to their clan."

"Someone else might become the leader..."

"Not someone who will be respected by the rest. They don't work like that. Their leaders are decided through generations, that's why they brought both Drone and Callie. Apparently they're siblings."

"What? They are?"

"Yeah, I didn't know either."

"You mean when you dated her?"

"I wouldn't call it dating. We only got together a few times until I found out she was with the Spike Clan."

"Wow, because that's better."

"Okay, that came out wrong. What I meant was that it wasn't serious or anything. Why? Are you jealous?"

"What? No! And who are you to tease me about being jealous. At least there was something between you two. There's nothing between Dan and me."

"Not yet perhaps."

"Not ever. What happens now? What's going to happen to them?"

"I don't know. I'm still thinking about it."

"You're not going to kill them are you?Lexa asked but Kai was silent,"Are you serious? This shit is exactly what we argued about before...everything happened."

"I haven't made a decision yet. "

"I wonder what you'll decide." Lexa said and was about to leave.

"Where are you going?"

"I have to get to work soon."

"Work? You're not going to work."

"Who are you to decide that? You just said that there probably wouldn't be any danger."

"To them, not you."

"So you mean that their lives aren't important?"

"No, I mean that your life is more important."

"I can't believe you just said that! Well, I'm not staying here, Count." Lexa said and left.

"Shit! I really have to stop saying the wrong things!"

Celeste was with Tom and Crash in the Count's room,

"Count." Tom said as soon as Kai walked in.

"Let's skip that. I want you two to keep searching the estates. Especially the Tarinova and Harley estates. Someone got to the cameras and I think they have something to do with it."
