Chapter Thirteen

" We need to come up with a plan,"

" I say we leave him,"

" No, we can't do that, he needs our help,"

Voices, I heard them, who are they? Oh, yeah they're my friends.

" Can you guys quiet down, I'm tired," I said softly. All the noise stopped.

" Ethan, you're awake?!" Can a voice that could only belong to Noah.

" Quick, let's leave before he wakes up all the way,"

" Oh, shut up Alex," Noah snapped.

" You, guys are so loud," I mumble covering my eyes with my arm.

" Wake up and we won't be," Alex said. I lift my arm off my face and opened my eyes to look at her scowling face with her arms crossed looking down at me.

" What happened to you?" Noah asked.

" We found you passed out on the ground covered in someone's blood," Alex stated madly.

" Hunger," Is the only thing I said.

" Don't you guys know anything, he's half Vampire he lives off of blood and have you seen him drink any since he's got here," Zero spoke up. I didn't even know he was here until he said that.

" Well...no," Said Noah. Zero nodded.

" Exactly, he's running on empty now, he needs blood,"

" Everyone, I'm fine," I say as I stand up.

" You don't look so good, you're pale," Noah said.

" I'm always pale, I'm half Vampire remember," I laughed. " I'll go look for something to eat then I meet you guys back here," I said with a wave and left before anyone could reply.

When I'm out of earshot I begin talking to myself.

" What am I going to do. Oh, yeah I forgot I stashed some blood in my room just in case,"

I ran to the cabin the door on the ground, I carefully stepped over it and walked inside the trashed place.

" I hope it's still there,"

The door to my room was also broken it now lay in pieces on the floor. I manage to get into my room. My eyes scan the room its a complete mess.

" The floor looks intact which means they didn't get to it,"

I walk over to were my bed was and break the floorboard. I take away the pieces of wood to see three packages of red.

" Yes, right where I left them," I grab them and sit down. I rip open the first bag carefully and start drinking the animal blood that I stored weeks before. I empty all three bags before leaving once again, I head back to everyone else. When I get within earshot of everyone else I overhear what they're talking about.

" You can't be serious, we can't let him stay here!"

" Alex," I mouth.

" He has nowhere else to go," Noah countered.

" Let him crawl back to Bastian," Alex snarled.

" He's the lost prince! We can't lose him, he's our only hope!" Noah screamed. Silence hung in the air at his words.

" Your joking right, all the Crescents were wiped out," She whispered. Noah nodded saying it's true.

" If you're right about this then this changes everything,"

" How long do you plan on eavesdropping, your highness," Zero spoke. I stiffened and walked in.

Alex walked right up to me grabbed me by the collar of my shirt and yelled, " Are you truly the Prince Ethan?!"

" Yes, now let go of me," She let go of my shirt and backed away folding her arms looking at me questionably.

" Now that's settled we need to come up with a plan," Said Noah. Zero flips over an upside-down table and lays out the map of the different regions of land for the supernatural. We all gather around it.

" We have to assume that the Witchs had sided with the Vampires again," Noah claimed.

" They have," I whispered remembering when I killed one the night I was turned into a Vampire.

" Okay, now we know for sure that they are," Noah said.

" It's a repeat of last time," Alex declared.

" NO!" I yelled slamming my fist onto the table. " You have me this time,"

" That's true, the Crescents didn't show up until we were all dead, now we have him from the start,"

" We need the demons," Zero said suddenly.

" Are you insane!" Alex shouted.

" Think about it for a second instead of always yelling," Zero growled.

" He's right," Noah said after a minute. " We'll have a better chance if we have them on our side,"

" Okay, we've established that we need to get them to come to our side but how are we going to do that?" I asked. Everyone turned to me and smiled.

" You've got to be kidding me," I said backing away with my hands up.

" You're our one shot of winning them over," Noah said walking towards me.

" You're the last of your line, your family was kind to them," Alex stated joining Noah.

" The Vampires will also be after the demons as well, the more time we're debating this the closer the bloodsuckers get them," Said Zero. I'm now surrounded by them.

" Fine, but I'm going to regret this," I groaned.

" Great! We leave at dawn," Noah shouted.

" No, no, no, you guys are not coming with me,"

" Oh, you think so do you?" Alex said crossing her arms.

" Just,..don't get yourself killed," I sighed.
