CHAPTER 4: SMART JANE

"Wait hold on Jane, what happened?, what do you mean by kidnapped?" Sarah asked Jane curiosly as she looked even more devastated than Jane herself, she held her by the arms and pulled her into the house and then shut the door afterwards.

"I can't even tell what exactly happened, but we were on our way to our graduation party when we got attacked on the road, they took us unconscious and when we woke up we were in some lare or something, but what's even worse is that the guys who took us are actually vampires" Jane said while she was being dragged in, Sarah then gave her a look which read that she didn't believe what Jane was saying,

"I mean it aunt, they were vampires, vampires are real, we didn't want to believe it either but we saw it with our own eyes" Jane said on realizing the look Sarah gave to her.

"Okay okay fine, vampires are real but then did they say anything to you guys?" Sarah asked curiously,

"all I know is the one who spoke to us, their boss, his name is Skull…"

Sarah immediately shook on hearing the name Skull, it was as if it inflicted some fear into her, but it. wasn't just the name, the impression on her face seemed like one which meant that she actually knew Skull,

"he also said something about Rick being a vampire-werewolf hybrid, but that can't be true right, I mean I've known Rick since forever and he's pretty much a normal human being" Jane then finished.

Sarah once again shook this time after she heard about Rick being a vampire-werewolf hybrid,

"hold on did you just say Skull?" she asked Jane curiosly, the look on her face also expressed how curious and scared she was since hearing the name Skull,

"yeah" Jane replied,

"are you sure?" Sarah asked in a persuading manner,

"yeah I'm sure, are you okay aunt?" Jane asked after noticing Sarah's awkward behavior,

"sure sure I'm fine" she answered,

"Are you sure, cause from the way you're acting it seems like you know this Skull dude" Jane said,

"hold on, no I know nothing about him" Sarah said, but she was still acting awkward and Jane kept her eyes on her.

"Okay this does it aunty spill, what do you know?" Jane then quickly asked her,

"Okay why am I the one being interrogated here, we should be out there looking for Rick right!" Sarah then replied her,

"from what I see I think you know exactly where Rick was taken to, but I don't think you knew that was going to happen, I'm no fool aunt I noticed your behavior just now and the expression on your face showed that you know Skull" Jane said to her,

"hold on here what are you saying?" Sarah asked,

"Skull said Rick was born to both vampire and werewolf parents, which category do you fall under?" Jane replied her with a mind blowing question as this one seemed to have taken Sarah off her stand,

"I have no idea what you're talking about" Sarah said,

"Oh no, you do" Jane said as she threw a wooden stake straight at Sarah's chest but within the blink of an eye Sarah was nowhere to be found as she dashed out of the way before it could even get near her.

"Why did you do that?" Sarah asked aggressively, Jane then turned around and saw that Sarah was right behind her,

"So I was right after all, you are a vampire, all this while I had my suspicions but I needed to confirm that vampires really exist and today I finally have my answer" Jane replied,

"hold on, you mean you've suspected me even long before now?" Sarah asked again as the aggressive look on her face turned into a more passive one.

"Yeah, I had my suspicions but I couldn't prove it, and then today on seeing that Skull was actually a vampire, it proved all my theories right and that was why a part of me believed everything he said about Rick" Jane replied,

"you're a really smart girl, you know that, your brain is bigger than your age that's for sure" Sarah said to her,

"thanks",

"so how did you escape?, because I find it hard to believe that Skull would let you go free without compelling you to forget what happened" Sarah then said,

"Rick was the one who asked him to let me go, although he wanted to eat me but he let me go because Rick said so, all he did was tell me not to say anything to anyone" Jane replied,

"did he look you straight in the eye to tell you that?" Sarah asked,

"I don't even remember, but that event made me believe even more that Rick is a hybrid, because hybrids are technically stronger than actual vampires so he probably didn't want to provoke Rick" Jane replied her.

"Oh no, this isn't good" Sarah said,

"Why do you say so?" Jane asked,

If he didn't compel you then I suspect he'll come back to kill you, I don't trust him one bit" Sarah said,

"don't worry, I got myself or rather you'll protect me right!" Jane replied,

"you don't understand do you, any chance I had of killing Skull, it died many years ago, the moment I gave birth to Rick" Sarah said,

"you know what aunt forget about all this for now, why don't we go find Rick first" Jane replied her,

"I'm not ready to face Skull yet" Sarah said,

"you don't have to, he won't kill you if Rick doesn't approve of it" Jane said to her,

"fine fine let's go" Sarah said as she then put on her shoe which was lying on the floor close to the cushion while she and Jane then went out of the house and they went into Jane's car,

"hold on before we leave, if you're a vampire it means Rick's dad was actually a werewolf right" Jane asked,

"yeah now let's go" she replied as she then started the car.

...

*Crunch, crunch* was the sound that was made as the dry grass and branches in the forest were being stepped on, the whole forest was dark but it was almost daybreak, the footsteps all of a sudden stopped when they heard unpleasant screeching sounds, the creatures making the sounds didn't look human, they looked unpleasant to the eye as they had pale blue skin with big eyes no nose and their lips were wide open with spit pouring out from them, they looked extremely hungry as they were now looking to make a move on the other beings in the forest, there were as many as twenty of them or even more.
