New Vampire In Town

Across The Plains

He attempted to pick me up but I insisted I walk. He helped me get up and I walked slow, because the pain kept getting worse, but i could walk. He had to help me at times when I had to stop because my side hurt the worse.

We walked behind the houses in the beginning of the forest behind the hybrid village. When we got to the plains, I was too weak to continue. I had lost a lot of blood from my arm and my side. It was late so we walked about another mile. It was about 10 vamp time. I nearly passed out in the grass. I was still in pain but it reduced, which frightened me. I could tell I was different already. I needed a drink but I wasn't as aggressive to get the one like I would be.

I laid down on my back and tried to concentrate on something rather then the pain. Joey got up and I didn't ask why. He came back later, like 30 minutes later. He was dragging a deer from the forest 10 yards to our right. He smiled and said, "Dig in." Hit picked a spot in its back and drank. I did too. It was dry when we were done. I felt better and relaxed that the only pain I felt was in my arm and side.

The taste of blood lingered in my mouth. It was a bad taste, that's when I knew I was a mundane again. We slept on the ground for the night. We ran the rest of the way the next day. We occasionally stopped at a creek for a drink of water. But when Joey got another animal, I didn't drink. He knew that I was turned. That is when he freaked out.

"How long have you known? You could be in danger! The wolves roam in these plains! They could smell you and that's it!" He was screaming at me. That caught the attention of a black wolf. The same one I saw when the vamps were captured by the hybrids.

I turned to face it hand knelt down and let it sniff my hand. It sniffed, growled, and the ran into the distance so we couldn't see it. I turned to face Joey, he had a what were you thinking face. Then his face went paler than it usually was while he was looking behind me.

I turned around slowly to find a half turned wolf, she looked familiar. That's when it clicked. "Bigby?" "Laura?" "Yeah. I saw you and the clan being captured by the hybrids. Dude, what happened to your arm, side, and your neck?" That was when Joey noticed I still had the bruised ring on my neck. "I was bitten, stabbed, and strangled, not in that order." I said. "Stabbed with what? You smell like a mundane."

"She was humanized." Joey said as he lowered his head. She looked at me, then at him, then back at me and crossed her arms. "Well, I'll escort you guys so no other wolves question why you are here. This is the only favor I'll ever do you Joey. But it's mostly for Laura." She says. She growled at him, he jumped. We got in a triangle shape with Bigby behind us. We walked the remaining 10 miles in silence. When we reached the Vamp base, she went full wolf and ran back to the plains. "See you tomorrow Laura." She said before she ran.

I was weak and needed help to walk. We went to the big entrance to hit he room where the wall was fixed. Joey knocked on the wooden door with his free arm. Raymond opened the door.

He was ecstatic. "Everyone! They and made it! Joey and Laura are back!" Joey asked if I could stand and I though I could but when I walked in the door, I collapsed. Everything went black after that.
