Eagle Crest Hallows [3]

Rayah

I sense Andrew's presence nearby and I drop the guy, walking to where I sense him. I ring the doorbell and my fangs go back into my gums, my eyes turning back to green.

Jace

Rayah brings me a guy and I look up at her, shaking my head.

"I-I can't," My voice cracks, my eyes teary again, "I can't, Rayah. I can't."

I don't even notice when she leaves, sliding down the brick wall and cradling my head in my arms.

Andrew~

I hear the doorbell ring, I get up and wipe my tears.

"I got it!" I yell to Aaron.

I open the door, Rayah is standing there. Normal again,

No, it's a lie

"Go away Rayah" I say, about to close the door.

"Andrew wait," she says, holding the door open with her hand.

Rayah

I smelled his blood but kept control, taking a deep breath. "Andrew, I don't know why your mad at us. It wasn't our fault. You have to believe that. Do you seriously think I wanna drink blood for the rest of my life? Hell no. So just remember that. Whatever we did to deserve this, wasn't our fault." I say.

Andrew~

Rayah leaps into a rant about how it isn't their fault.

"There has to be some way to reverse this then," I say.

Rayah

Reverse? What?

I look at him weirdly, "Did you get hit in the head or something," I ask, knocking on his forehead. He was warm...

"Dude, Your so warm!" I laughed, "It's weird." I felt my hands, the opposite.

Andrew~

I had an epiphany.

"You're mom! She can reverse this!" she gave me a weird look.

Rayah

I look at him again weirdly, "Yep you hit your head." I sigh, crossing my arms. "I'mma go find Jace, and we'll talk alright?" I ask, then run off in vampire speed to where Jace was and crouch infront of him. "Jace, can you please come? Please?" I ask, taking his hand.

Jace

Rayah returns and I glance up at her, my eyes wandering dazedly to the man she'd left.

"Jace, can you please come? Please?" She crouches before me.

She takes my hand and I look back at her.

"Where?" I ask.

Rayah

I sigh. "Anywhere. Just stop being depressed." I give him my wrist. "If you won't feed from that dude, feed from me." I say, "I promise it'll boost your energy and you'll be all happy again."

Jace

I shake my head and bury my face in my arms again, shaking.

"No. I don't want to feed from anyone. I don't want to do that to anyone."

Alyx

It's been too long. Something happened.

I stand and walk out of the house, searching for the two. Finding them in an alleyway, my heart breaks at the mental state Jace is in.

Zoey

I slip my jacket on and set off to find Rayah. I walk outside and see her in an alleyway, next to Jace. "RAYAH!" I yell, running towards her.

,,,,,,,,
Rayah

Zoey runs towards me and I smell her blood.
No, no, no, no, I think, standing.

"Zoey, I-I think you should--" Vampire takes over and I close my eyes.

"Go. Inside. Run. Please." I say. She backs away slowly and I try to control my bloodlust.
Oh god...Jace.

I look down at him, "Stay calm, try to control it." My eyes slowly become red and Point for Zoey to run.

Alyx

I turn to Zoey, swallowing, and drag her out of the alleyway just as Jace catches scent.

"Go!" I let go and gently shove her. "Shift. You're okay if you shift. Go with Indi."

Zoey

I shake my head, "But Rayah! I need to talk to her! It's about Logan and Riley!" I say, trying to walk back in.

,,,,,,,
Rayah

When I hear their names the bloodlust slowly escapes me. I run inside and upstairs, seeing them gone. "Oh no..." I muttered, trying to pick up their scent. Nothing.

I run back outside and pick up Zoey from her shirt and shove her against the wall. "I told you to watch them!" I yell, my eyes turning red. She nods.

"I- I was...I-I fell asleep please don't kill me..." She says, flinching. I drop her and She stands quickly. I sigh and turn away.
This. Is. Bad.

Alyx

I tighten my jaw and bury the guilt. Should have been there too... I pull Zoey away from Rayah and take her away.

"Shift," I order, "Find Indigo. He'll get them."
