The Ghost Hunters and The Familiar Strangers

Reed quickly ran as fast as he could to a place where he could transform. His eyes turned green, his fingers grew longer till they became claws, and his teeth started growing into fangs. He needed to stay hidden before any vampire catches him or human.

Emerald was walking along the path towards where Reed was, she could notice someone's presence, a presence she had never felt before. Before she could turn to see who it was, Reed quickly launches at her but Emerald was quick enough to dodge. She looked at him and she never believed she would see another vampire apart from the good wine. Reed looked at her, wondering why she isn't freaking out or screaming as every human would. He perceived the air around him. "you're a vampire". Reed said moving closer to her. Emerald stood her ground and was ready to attack any minute she sense danger. "who are you?" Reed asked.

"Why should I answer that?". Emerald shot back at him.

Reed moved closer to her, sniffing her neck, sending shivers down her spine. Emerald tried her best not to move but she flinched when Reed touched her neck down to her shoulders sniffing her skin. "you haven't been taken yet". He said touching her neck.

There wasn't any vampire bite on her neck to show she was taken.

"should I do you the honor?". He asked kissing her neck. Emerald turned and was about to slap him but she was too late, Reed grabbed her and bit her neck, making her moan at the pleasure.

Evan knew he had to make Laura and her sister fall asleep so he could do whatever he wants. He decided to enchant them. Enchanting people especially humans is a lot of work and the power needed can make render a vampire weak, so weak that he can easily become vulnerable but still he had to.

He moved closer to Laura who was talking with her sister, the moment they looked up at him, his eyes turned green. Their eyes were so fixed on him that they couldn't do anything else but stare into his eyes. After a few minutes, they fell asleep on the table. Evan's eyes returned to their color as he held onto the table to regain his strength. He heard a loud noise coming from the room and he knew he had to do something whether or not he was fit for the job or not. He went into the room and tries opening the door but it was locked. He quickly transformed and used his strength to open the door. He found Jones already transformed into a vampire and he was holding his wife by the neck, sniffing her skin. Jones was about to bite his wife's neck when Evan pounced on him so fast that he had no idea what hit him. Martina quickly moved away from the scene. She couldn't believe her eyes.

Jones became so angry and pounced back on Evan, using his claws to tear his cheek.C0ntent © 2024 (N/ô)velDrama.Org.

"get out of here now". Evan told Madeline who tried to move to the door but Jones quickly grabbed unto her leg making her fall down to the ground.

Madeline screamed. Evan quickly rushes to pull Jones off his wife. The moment he did, he told Martina to leave which she hurriedly did.

Jones tried to punch Evan but he dodged it. Evan knew there was only one way to bring Jones back to his senses. He pushed Jones against the wall where he hit his head and fell unconscious to the ground. His claws disappeared and so did his fangs but his eyes were still green. Evan carried him to the bed and left him there. He went out to meet his wife who was shaking in fear.

"How is he?". She asked Evan who sat down next to her.

"he will be fine but he needs to be left alone to regain himself". Evan said.

Madeline nodded. She had lots of questions that she didn't even know where to start.

"What happened to them?". She asked pointing to her two daughters.

"they are asleep but they'll be awake soon". he told her. Evan also had questions to ask too. So he began, "did you know?". he asked.

"that my husband is a vampire?". She asked and when he nodded, she continued. "I found out recently, ". she said. She looked at him and asked," are you also a vampire?". she asked.

Evan nodded. "And Reed?". she asked about Reed because she noticed he was behaving as her husband did. Evan nodded again.

"but what happened? It was like they were affected by something. They weren't behaving like themselves, ". she asked.

Evan knew he had to open up to protect Laura and her entire family. "it's all my fault".

"what do you mean?". She asked him.

Evan moved closer to Laura and showed her mother the necklace. "I gave this to Laura to help protect her from Vampires". "what?".

"Laura has been having strange dreams about being attacked by vampires. Did she ever tell you?" he asked.

Madeline tried to remember but she couldn't remember her daughter telling her about any dream. "no". She said. Then she remembered how Laura do scream at night saying she had a nightmare but couldn't remember it. "she does have nightmares but she never seemed to remember any of it".

"I gave her that necklace to protect her from them. I don't know how to say this but Laura's life is in danger. If she dreams about vampires, there are vampires out there looking for her. The necklace can only do its part but that's all. As you can see, your husband gets affected by it so you have to make sure the necklace stays hidden anytime she's around him". Evan explained.

Madeline placed her head on her palm, trying to reminiscence everything that happened. Then her mind went to Reed. "is Reed ok?". She asked.

"he should be. He's tougher than he looks". He placed his hands on Ashley's head, erasing her memory of the incident and he did the same to Laura. "what are you doing?". She asked.

"they'll be waking up soon. I have to go". Evan said as he moved to the door. "you should check up on your husband". And with that, he left.

Emerald felt so weak. After Reed bit her, he left her like that unconscious. When she recovered, she found blood dripping down from her neck, she has just been marked by a total stranger. Now, it's going to be impossible for Evan to want her. With anger in her heart, she found a stick that has sharp edges and cut her palm with her, pouring the blood on her neck. Although she could hide the mark, she couldn't hide the fact that she has been marked. She's determined to hide it from everyone on the team. And whoever this guy is, she wouldn't rest until she has taken her revenge on him.

She stayed in the forest to gain some strength before she go to meet her team. Even though she is determined to hide it from everyone, it would be difficult to hide it from Evan. He knows her like the back of his hands, would she be able to pull this off that easily?
