Chapter Seventeen – Kirk

There was a commotion in the cemetery. Two people were fighting. But that wasn’t what drew me in. It was the smell. I could smell her from a mile away. Kass was here. I ran and, even though I had started out over three miles away, made it there in mere seconds.

The sight of that guy on Kass made me very angry, even though it may have mirrored a situation I had put us in not too long ago in our home.

I bared my sharp teeth, body slamming him off her, and soon we were hundreds of feet away, tousling and fighting, more equal to each other than Kass was. I snarled, sounding like a lion.

The guy in my arms did the same, exposing his extended teeth and red eyes. Whoever this guy was, he was old. I could see it in his eyes. He was so ancient, deep down, underneath his twenty-something outside, that he was far different than me.

And by different, I meant that he wasn’t born like this. He was made this way. How? I had no idea how things like us were made. I may not have been born like this either, but I was born with the curse of my family. The Vampirism wasn’t always there, awakened. It was dormant. It wasn’t awakened until John set the curse in motion all those years ago.

That stupid fool.

The man shoved me back, his muscles rippling under his fancy shirt. I had to grab a close gravestone to keep myself from spinning in the air. He was strong, that’s for sure. Stronger than me, definitely.

I glanced back at Kass. She laid on the wet grass, bleeding massively. Turning my attention to the man, I felt my chest rumble louder than it did before. I felt the adrenaline changing my eyes. I couldn’t help it. I breathed out, calming myself as much as I could.

In an instant I opened my eyes, revealing a blackened stare and extended fangs. All of them. My lips curled in a sneer.

The man’s malicious red eyes switched from me to Kass, and back to me. A small smile appeared on his face as he vanished. He was nowhere near here, I could feel it. He left us on purpose.

My head jerked toward Kass and shortly I was holding her in my arms. She was barely awake. I licked my fangs. It was now or never. The blood dripping down her arms looked so…delicious.

I ripped out what remained of her stitches for easier access. She hadn’t had them earlier, and I didn’t want to know what they meant. A slow, fervent pant came out of my mouth. I could do this. I could control myself. I could save her.

No. I had to do this. I had to control myself. I had to save her.

I brought her wrist to my mouth and licked the wound, healing it as well as taking in the taste of her. My eyelids fluttered to a close. Damn it.
