Cedric

Cedric felt the flurry of fists striking him anywhere they could. Between stomping boots and the hunched over monsters that beat him to a pulp, Cedric felt the blood pour freely from his nose, his mouth and cuts across his face that were no doubt opened through Jericho’s steel-toed boots.

“I thought you’d put up more of a fight than that, Cedric,” Jericho said, laughing as he looked down at the vampire that just took the beating from the three men.

Cedric’s initial thoughts fell on Marianne, knowing that if she was to get back to where he wanted this night to go, he had to play everything perfectly. She already jumped in to try and save him and was met with the force of a vampires might. If he didn’t play this right, he would have to kill the three here, and Cedric was certain that murdering three men would not leave a good taste in her mouth.

“Get off of him,” Marianne shouted again, but to no avail. She knew that if she ran in again she would just be pushed away without much effort.

Even now you try and defend me, Cedric thought, allowing the message to carry through the airwaves to Marianne, who would no doubt hear them in her mind without words being spoken.

Don’t worry, Marianne. I’ve got this under control, Cedric added.

Telepathy was one of his favourite powers after the turn. Though he enjoyed the strength that came with being a vampire, the speed, the ability to travel through shadows and more, having the mental control to read minds and send messages always came in handy. Though the link was established from the moment they made eye contact, Cedric had no interests in reading Marianne’s mind. He wanted her to give into him on her own or he didn’t want her at all.

He closed the channel immediately, knowing that she would want to reply but he had to think about everything that was going to happen now. This was already difficult with three men who beat him senseless and having Marianne’s panicked thoughts trickling through would only make things harder. She was scared, but he already knew that. His reassurance probably meant nothing at all but he had to give it to her, he needed her to feel comfortable around him and give him the trust he deserved to sort these minor inconveniences out.

Cedric went limp.

“You’re killing him,” Marianne shouted again, jumping to her feet at the sight of Cedric going down. He watched as she made a move to come closer through squint eyes, only half keeping his attentions on what was going on here.

Good, he thought, knowing that if she distracted them, he would have time to make his move.

“He deserves it,” Jericho said, planting a final stomp on Cedric’s temple. The boot rattled his brain and made him dizzy. That one he was not expecting, but he fought not to show it because they already thought he was down and out.

“We were really doing you a service here,” Jericho added, straightening up his jacket and pulling down his sleeves.
