Chapter 12

Mason

I'm exhausted. Every step is a struggle. The harsh terrain makes it even more difficult to keep up with the group. We've apparently come during the rainy season, and they don't call it that for nothing. I trudge after the rest of the group, the mud sticking to my boots and making me feel like I'm wading rather than walking. Lexi cast some sort of spell to repel the rain since it hasn't stopped falling the last couple of days, but the spell can't protect us from the mud that the rain has created.

I thought being on tour without Eva was miserable enough, but evidently, I was getting more of an energy boost from the crowds than I thought because I feel like I'm steps away from death right now without it. I haven't said anything, but I can tell that Damon and Beckham are well aware that I'm not myself by the worried looks they keep casting towards me. With how the trip has gone, I'm almost flattered that they're actually worried about me. If I bite it, it's one less person in competition for Eva. I mean they'll still have the rest of the male population, and probably most of the female ones as well…and now I'm rambling. Evidently psychosis is a symptom of hunger as well as extreme fatigue and lethargy.

I'm paying too much attention to just trying to take my next step that I don't notice that the group has stopped in front of me. I end up running into Beckham who glances back at me annoyed before turning back around to pay attention to the frantic Liu in front of us. He's gesturing frantically at Damon who, as he has for most of the trip, looks like he wants to kill him. As my energy has waned, so too has a lot of my supernatural strengths like good hearing. I have to strain to try and pay attention to what Liu is so upset about.

"We have to stop here. We can't go any further."

"Why would we do that?" snaps Damon. "Do you see any vampire infested fortresses around here?"

"This land doesn't feel right. We can't go any further," Liu responds in a panic.

Damon turns to look at Beckham.

"Can you please do something about this?" he asks.

Before Beckham can open his mouth to compel him, Liu suddenly pulls his long hunting knife out of his belt and stabs Damon in the stomach before turning and sprinting away. I'm too shocked at how much Damon is bleeding to even think about going after Liu.

Beckham is the first one to get to Damon. He pulls the knife roughly out of Damon's stomach, which garners a glare from Damon. It's a less effective glare than usual since Damon is wheezing with pain. Liu must have got him in the sweet spot. I'm not overly worried about Damon since he's very hard to kill, but I am worried about the copious amounts of blood that he's spilled all over the ground.
