Chapter 15 : Caretaker

*Daniel’s POV*

Shit! Immediately, I teleported in front of Beth and blocked the soccer ball for her. That could have killed her! Because of my vampire strength, the ball was filled with murderous intent. It spun rapidly in my hand as Beth watched with wide eyes. The ball spun around madly for a few moments, like an angry tornado, until it eventually exploded into a million little fragments of leather and polyester.

This triggered the vampire inside me to make himself known. I could feel the monster inside me trying to break free, attempting to take complete control. He was fighting for command of my body and my actions. I’m sure that underneath my red hair, my eyes were a frighteningly red color. My hands were shaking with rage.

I took a deep breath and tried to calm myself down, fighting against my instinct to destroy, hurt, and kill. Using all my strength and willpower, I suppressed my hatred and violent tendencies until I wasn’t seeing red.
