The Hunter and The Vampire ➳ Frerard

5. Modern Problems Require Modern Solutions

Gerard's POV

I followed Francesc to his house. I kept my distance, so he doesn't notice me. As he went inside, I watched the house from far enough to not get noticed, but close enough to see him when he comes out. After about 40 or 50 minutes he came out with his same backpack, but this time I could see a baseball bat sticking out of it.

I followed him to his destination. He went to the back of the abandoned fire department. Now, I have to find a secret place to hide and see what happens. The roof cough my eyes. It was already dark, and no one came to this part of the town since it was the end of the street and there was nothing important here, except for some abandoned buildings.

Thinking of that, I kicked open the door of the building ignoring the loud noise it made and went to the roof. It was a two-story building so it was good enough to see everything happening downstairs.

I watched Frannsaidh as he sat on the floor and started reading a book. No wonder why I never knew him and can't remember his name. This guy is a straight-up nerd. Who goes to a secret meeting and reads a book while waiting? There's a thing called smartphone that he can use to pass his time.

I gotta admit, after staring at the guy for about 30 minutes, I start to low-key find him attractive. But of course, I'm not even gay. I never had any feelings for a guy. I don't want to turn out to be gay though. Not like I'm homophobic or something, but my parents are. They've lived around the times when they were burning people for being gay. They're not even religious, but think it's disgusting. That being said, I don't want to be in a fight with my parents and get kicked out.

My thoughts were cut when I saw another figure approaching Francis. When it got closer to him and got into a lighter era, I noticed who it was. It was Thomas. He's one of us. I'm not that close with him, but close enough to know he's a good guy. He's been turned it's been over two years, so it means he knows the rules. He can't feed from people under 18 and this guy looks like 16 but knowing he's from my class, I guess he's 17, but not 18 for sure. At least, doesn't look like it. So why would he want to meet this human?

I saw Franz holding the baseball bat with his shaky hands. Does he really think he can take out a vampire with a bat? Cute. This means he probably isn't a hunter. If he is, he would've had a gun or a stake. Hunters are not this dumb. They know how dangerous we are, and I gotta admit, we really are dangerous for them. Even if we don't need to kill to feed, it's sad to say... but sometimes it happens. Some of us don't even care and drain humans willingly.

I tried my hardest to listen to their conversation but didn't manage to hear a word. I could hear the, talking but couldn't make out what they were saying. On the other hand, I had a clear view, so I stalked every single move they did. I saw Thomas show him his fangs, while the human admired it. What is he doing? He's not allowed to expose us like that. I'm not gonna snitch on him without knowing his side of the story though. It would be an asshole move.

After his phone rang, Frannsaidh left. I followed him to his house to take one last look at his house. I quickly took a pic of the house, including the number, and started walking away from it. On my way home, I called Pete, Josh and Brendon, and told them to come over.

After five minutes I got home, I heard the doorbell and went opening it. They came in one after the other. It didn't take them too much time to get here since we live close to each other. We went upstairs to my room because my parents were already home and I didn't want them to hear what we're talking about.

"Are you gonna talk now?" Pete asked after everyone came in and we closed the door.

"He met with Thomas, they talked and left. Thomas showed him his fangs, so I guess Frandscus now knows vampires exist." I said.
