Chapter Six: Can we keep him?

It was nearly morning, a time where everywhere was still quiet in Silver falls but the same couldn't be said at the Silver forest villa. Six large wooden stakes were raised and of course six of the remaining surviving crazed vampires from the earlier attack were tied to them, there were two females and four males, their ages ranging between 18-30. They had been fed some animal blood that Pug the familiar had gotten from God knows where, they were sober enough to know the kind of shit they were in. Harley and Ezra sat on outdoor lounge chairs opposite the vampires, Harley's wounds being tended to by Ezra.

"Please spare us!", a male vampire begged for his life and those of his companions, his eyes nervously watching for the break of dawn. Ezra just shook his head as he put some ointment on one of Harley's bruise. "You know the rules, you attacked us first so your lives are in our hands now"

"We didn't know! We weren't in our right senses! Please let us go!", A lady begged tearfully, they all began screaming at this point. They were really noisy. Harley sighed then asked, "Who sent you?"

"We don't know!!", another shouted causing the werewolves to sigh, they were useless. they continued to beg but it fell on deaf ears as Ezra continued to treat her injuries, "No wonder they aren't healing fast, why didn't you tell me? You aren't showing at all...", he continued to ask questions that gave her a headache.

"I swear if you ask me something else, I'll tie you up a stake and set you on fire", she spat at him causing him to frown, "Well I won't be asking so many if you had just told me in the first place", he said moodily. they conversed normally, ignoring the vampires pleading for their lives. One particular vampire remained quiet and watched the two, Harley had noticed and pointed at him, "You... What do you know about this?", the young lad's eyes expressionless before saying, "W're not lying... we really don't know how we got here or who sent us. But i remember darkness, we were locked in holes and starved for days. We were brainwashed, mindless minions... All I know is that we were sent here... to kill"

His words brought along an ominous silence that made the atmosphere tense, the other vampires expressions were unreadable at this point. "This guy could tell horror stories for a living", Ezra lampooned before asking, "And why is it that only you and not the rest remember this bull crap story?"

"My affinity added me in neutralising some of the brainwashing's effect, my memories are fragmented", he said. Harley thought for a while before asking, "How can we trust-", before she could finish, her pupils turned white as her body shuddered, her brain taking in a pile of information in one go. She had to catch her breath to take it all in. Ezra growled at the young vampire and oppressed him with his powerful aura, "What did you do to her?!"

Harley massaged her forehead and put a hand on Ezra's shoulder, "The kid isn't lying", Ezra calmed down slightly and asked, "Are you okay?", Harley nodded in reply then looked at the young vampire, "Do you remember your life from before?", the young vampire was silent and didn't answer.

She sighed and didn't pursue the matter, "Let him down", Ezra gave the go signal to Pug who instantly used his sharp tail to cut the rope tying the young vampire to the stake' the boy fell to his knees. At that time, the sun was already coming above the horizon and the other vampires screamed for their lives but no one paid them any mind.

A cloak was thrown over the boys head and shoulders as the first rays of sunlight broke through, the vampires screaming in horror of what was to come. Harley knelt down before the lad and wore the cloak for him. She studied his appearance, his ruddy appearance, perfect feature, black curly hair ad jet black eyes. The boy was really handsome., "Your name?", she asked.

"The boy was quiet before saying, "Malakai", he said meeting her gaze directly. She smiled before raising her hand to hit him across the face, the force dislocating his jaw with such ease making one wonder how much strength she had used. "Rule number one, Don"t look around where your'e not supposed to"

"He's a mind reader huh? I guess i'll have to get a tinfoil helmet", Ezra joked as picked the kid up to his feet roughly and fixed his jaw, their backs facing the rising sun. The cloak surprisingly covered most of his body, the sun was finally up, the day had broken. Of course it was followed by the tortured screams of the vampires that burned, Malakai could hear the screams right behind him but he seemed unperturbed.

"Do you hate us for killing your people?", Ezra asked, the corpses of the vampires Ezra had killed disintegrated right in front of them. "Those are the inter-species rules, you did no wrong", Ezra raised a brow at the reply, "Don't you feel aggrieved? sympathetic for them?", he asked the boy.

"I do not know them", Malakai's reply was brief and Ezra smirked, "This kid is cold, can we keep him?", Ezra asked like Malakai was some kind of pet. Harley rolled her eyes at him walked towards the house, Ezra took that as a yes and put his hand around the vampire boy's shoulder before leading him inside.

They all forgot about the remains of the corpses that littered the yard, their focus now elsewhere. It was only Pug who felt miserable at this moment as he began tidying up the mess.
