The screams woke him from a nightmare. Noah had been dying in his arms, and Bella’s body, spewing intestines and bloody residue, had burned on the wooden pyre outside of the shelter.

He roused, gasping, calling out their names…

He hadn’t realized he had fallen asleep after eating, but when he woke to the sound of gut-wrenching wailing, his dishes had been removed and a blanket thrown over him. Perhaps his addled, sleepy brain had him jumping to rash conclusions. But with the screams present nearly every night, and his encounters with Maddox so utterly contrived, he couldn’t restrain himself.

He lay there, listening, with his arms by his side. What if Maddox had lied to him and not given his group a life? What if those screams belonged to them? What if…what if the vampires were turning them into bloodsucking monsters, forever shattering the one ounce of hope Vincent clung to?

Sleep still heavy in his limbs, Vincent lunged out of bed and banged a fist on the door.

“Hey, vampire. I need help. I’m fucking pissing blood in here.”

Not that he thought his lie would gain him any interest. But he’d give it a try. To his astonishment, the door popped open, and a young Asian boy, short and grasping a Taser for dear life, stood in the doorway. His puny figure reminded him of Emory on his first hunt. Unprepared and terrified. Vincent noticed the metal collar locked around the boy’s thin neck, and the white clothes worn by the rest of the ‘volunteers’.

“You one of them, too?”

The boy’s dark eyelashes fluttered up and down. “Y-yes. Don’t come any closer. I’ll… I will use this.”

Vincent eyed the Taser, unblinking. “Kid, we both know I could crush you like a fucking fly. But I don’t want to. I want to know what the commotion is all about.”

The freckles on the boy’s nose scrunched up. He looked to be only eighteen, at a push. Younger than his nephew. “I can’t… You’re not allowed out the room until Ezra gets back.”

“Is he your sponsor?”

The boy shook his head.

“Maddox Caine?”

Another shake. Another sickening scream wailing through the hallway. They came from the direction of the kitchen around the dark corner.

“Then who the fuck’s your sponsor?”

He winced at Vincent’s tone of voice. “He’s…he’s no longer in the city. He went away.”

“Can’t you say who he is?”

“I’m not allowed to,” he whispered, his eyes cast down. “He’ll punish me if I say.”

“Then tell me your name, boy.”

Amongst the agonizing screams, Vincent could hear nothing else. And he smelled nothing either, which meant the hallway was a vampire-free zone. If he was careful, he could make by the kitchen without being caught.

“It’s Yuri.”

“Nice to meet you, Yuri. The name’s Vincent, but you probably already know that.”

Vincent stepped forward, and the kid held out the Taser.

“Don’t come any closer,” Yuri breathed, his feeble hands trembling.

“I just want to see what the screaming is. It might be someone who needs help. I can help them.”

One more step, and all Vincent needed was a moment of hesitation… There! The boy looked over his shoulder, and Vincent made his move.
