Chapter 45
Alex fell to his knees at Xavier’s side, hand wrapping around his shoulder to prop him. Xavier’s skin burnt at Alex’s, the room much warmer, and his breath climbing in speed. Each breath was as hallow as the last, beads of sweat climbing at his temples. He could barely keep his head up, let alone stand without any support. Alex helped him to the bed, laying him down and puffing a breath.
It was happening to him too.
The worry he’d carried from what he’d just witnessed, doubled. His hands fiddling with the hem of his shirt and he chewed at the inner of his cheek. Xavier turned and twisted, Alex frozen there, barely able to form a thought.
His eyes darted around the room, his feet carrying him around in hopes of calming his overheating head. He’d never taken care of a vampire, and neither did the classes with Alaster talk about nursing a vampire to health.
They weren’t even supposed to get sick!

Alex rounded the corner only to stop in his tracks, gaping at the opened door leading to the living room he’d left Josh in. He slowly took a step, eyes fluttering over the chaos breaking loose before him. The red ball of fury was back in action, bouncing off walls with all the vigour of the children’s toy, Amber’s screams echoed throughout the space, Alex cringing at the pitch of her voice. Hunter was wedged into a concrete wall, legs stabbed through the wooden floor boards whilst Josh ran around with a monkey one his head? Alaster was barely able to keep a form, reduced to phasing matter of flesh and Luca was still a stick. The tempt was so incredibly strong to turn and walk back to Xavier but knowing he could at least make Xavier feel better was enough to drive him into the chaos. Xavier would definitely handle this situation better than he ever could. Spiriting in, Alex tried to avoid Bianca in case of another cut, weaving past Josh who was still trying to

Alex took off like there was no tomorrow, his legs carrying him faster than they ever have, his heart beating as quick as each breath. Th icy feeling that had tickled his back now enveloped his whole body, the terror like shackles on his fleeing body. The darkness chased after him, climbing the walls and ceilings around him, licking at his heels ready to consume him whole. Alex grit his teeth, forcing his legs faster, the memory of those hellish nights nauseating him. He raced up the steep stairs, taking two at a time, ignoring the burning in his throat. He ran out the kitchen, the monstrous abyss still hot on his tails, devouring everything he ran past. He bound up more stairs his lungs crying in sweet agony as his whole world turned dark. The dread pulled at his insides as he clambered forward, the fear making his knees weak but it barely kept him back. He saw a light at the end of the hallway, the last of his energy pulling him through. With a sharp turn,

Josh fell onto the couch, letting out a tightened breath, wiping the sweat near his brow. His legs pained, his ears rung and his head burned altogether. His hair was in disarray, curls falling over his eyes completely shielding his vision. He needed a haircut. He barely had time to register what was happening when suddenly he was being attacked by an array of animals shifting over and over, inflicting pain in all manners. But like an angel, in came Luca with the cure to all problems, fixing not just Griffin and his animalistic behaviour, but everyone else too. Hunter unwedged himself in the house, Bianca slowing down and well Luca wasn’t a stick anymore although it certainly beats a floating head. “How?” Josh asked exasperation in his tone. Luca sat beside him, passing him an opened can. “Alex brought the brilliant idea of blood,” he said, Josh frowning. “You’re telling me none of you had thought of that?” Luca scratched the ba

“That was a good game,” Alaster humbly said, Josh crying over the last of his ownings falling into Alaster’s very thick pocket. “It was about time.” Alex, who’d lost right after Amber, rolled his eyes. Josh stretched his back, the crackling and popping making him sigh in content. His butt had turned to stone from sitting on the carpeted floors for 2 hours, his eyes blurry and god he never wanted to see a monopoly board again. Alaster wore a casual smile, a taunt to the three that had succumbed to his cruel hand. Amber, who had been the first to lose, straightened her slumped figure, eyes growing with sudden interest. Before a third game could be suggested, the front door opening drew their attention. Luca and Griffin had just returned from their inspection of the territory and it seemed that more than an inspection had taken place whilst they had been out… Luca was the first to walk in, dirt staining his face and clothes, a deep crease present within his brow. Griffin who followed

Brother?Xavier has a twin Brother!As those words left the strangers mouth, his crazy orange hair gradually turned a shiny black that was on par to a new moon’s midnight, the chains once holding him dropping to the ground producing a dull sound that caused Alex to flinch.Xavier’s expression had no changes. As if silently agreeing to the notion.Xavier has a brother!Alex felt dizzy from the sudden information slammed at him, his brain taking a few minutes to reboot itself.Now brazenly staring at the so-called brother, Alex scanned the others features, squinting his eyes to make sure he wasn’t imagining all this. Only now that the announcement was made did the others featured subtly change to one that looked exactly like Xavier’s.They weren’t just any twins, they were identical! How was someone who looked as pure and holt as Xavier, closely related to someone who was very likely to be the spawn of Satan. It didn’t take a genius to figure that this brother was up to no good.Questio

Alex stood in front of Xavier door, trying to calm the bubbling nerves cooking inside him. Xavier was much less intimidated when he acted like a drunk kitten but after the whole ordeal that transpired just minutes ago, well that kitten just turned to a ferocious lion.Alex raised his hand to knock on the door only to drop it again and ruffle his hair.Come on, there’s nothing to scared of. Yeah. He’s only just really mad after encountering the person he seems to really despise after only recovering from some once in a thousand-year sickness type of thing. Yeah, its totally fine!Alex bit his lip, ready to yank his hair from all the overthinking.You’re overreacting, just go in.Taking the deepest breath that made him a bit tipsy, Alex finally knocked on the door. It was a bit quiet but he still knocked. There wasn’t an answer for a while and Alex was sure Xavier hadn’t heard him.As he was debating whether to knock again or just leave, the door swung open and there Xavier stood, tower

“What if that dude actually eats me or something.” Josh finally confessed in a quiet voice.Alex was silent for a while before humming in acknowledgment. Amber had said the vampire wouldn’t hurt Josh but he chose not to entirely trust her. Not yet at least. Xander was just as strong as Xavier, what was holding the vampire back from harming any of them in Xavier’s absence?Josh slammed him with a pillow at his silence, Alex finally letting out a laugh. Getting out an agreement through his giggles, he finally calmed, falling back onto the covers.“Man, it’s been a while since I’ve slept on a bed,” Alex sighed, Josh, now silently staring at Alex.“I don’t mind you taking the floor,” Josh said, Alex shushing him with a pillow to the face.“As if, you just want the bed to yourself don’t ya.”*Xavier had returned to sitting at the edge of the bed when a rough knock came at the door, interrupting the deadly silence of the room. Before the person could even open the door, a deep scowl had al

Sitting up with a groan, Josh turned to look at Alex who was staring intently at something. Turning to focus on what it was, Josh had to squint quite a bit to make out a figure standing just at the start of the forestry, his white hair the only thing to identify the man.Really anything else was too far for him to see.He threw his friend another glance, knowing that their spar was definitely over now. Giving an encouraging pat to his love sick friend, Alex gave him a parting head nod and like that he watched the other walk off, almost in envy.How nice it must be to like someone that much and have it reciprocated.He didn’t know where he stood with Alaster. Spending more time with the male hadn’t changed anything, if anything he’d just grown to respect the vampire more but romantically it sat at something he was happy not pursuing.At least that’s what he told himself.He wasn’t so sure he’d be as lucky as Alex and he was still dipping his toes in the deep pool of genuinely liking so
