Unknown's P.O.V
We had just finished dinner and were walking back to my place where I had plans for the lovely lady that was so willing to accompany me on this date tonight. Little did she know that she would not be seeing her beloved cat again after I am finished with her.
Taking them out for dinner and getting the drunk and soft makes it easier for me. Also, you know slipping something into a drink here and there has also never hurt anybody, well except for the girls of course. Blood from a willing victim just tastes so much better than blood from someone struggling. The fear that courses through it just adds a weird aftertaste that I have learned that I do not care to taste when I need to refill my energy levels.
I mean I could always just use my powers of persuasion on them, drink my full and let them go with them not remembering anything but where is the fun in doing that? I have more than just hunger needs that I have to fulfil and in any case
Mary's P.O.VWaking up I got the pendant out again fully intending to find out exactly what it was and what it means. I was hoping this would help me to be able to retrace my steps of last night and find out what had happened and in whose blood I was covered. I didn't want to let my imagination sore and think of random possibilities and scenarios because each one that I had come up with was more gruesome than the previous one and to be honest I was making myself both sick and scared.I didn't want to take it to Dory or dad because I didn't have a story to tell them about where I had gotten it and I didn't even have the energy to be creative enough to make up a story of how I had happened to get it into my possession. I had a feeling that telling them that I had picked it up on the street would not suffice and that they would not buy that story.Full well intending to go to the library and see what I could find out about the pendant, I had started my
"RUN!"I didn't have any time to think about the voice in my head because the tone of the voice just let me know that there was no space for argument and that if I didn't run I would regret it soon enough. I might not be feeling the eyes on me anymore but that didn't mean that they weren't lurking somewhere behind me. I didn't know whether I would be able to make it back home before whatever was chasing me caught up to me but I was hell-bent on getting there. Luckily I had the recently acquired speed on my side helping me zoom past everything faster than I have ever thought of running. I thought where would be the safest to stop and try and get into the house because I didn't want to struggle with the extremely solid front door that took forever to push open and I didn't leave any windows open when I left not thinking that I would need to make a quick entry into the house. Exiting the town square and entering the little clearing where the house is located I was so glad to see that
Ryder's P.O.V When Mary told me that she felt watched and followed from the library that had me worried already but when she told me that she had noticed the change in the attendants in some of the shops and someone told her to run I was glad that she was able to get home safely. I really want to meet that person who told her to run because I want to thank them for their help but she said that she didn't see who talked to her and that there wasn't anyone that she saw near her so she has no idea who talked to her. She mentioned that is why she said that it could have been something before she said someone. At the moment, I didn't care who or what it was, I was just really grateful that she was okay. The most important thing on my mind was to get everything packed up into the car and leave before there was the need for another fight. Mary didn't know who it was, and with that little knowledge gap she had because of me not telling her what she is and what actually exists, that could
Mary's P.O.V I don't remember how long I was awake after we left, but I know it wasn't long. Car rides always made me sleepy, and in all the years, I have not once managed to stay awake long enough to see the whole trip. The calming sound of the tyres on the road just lulls me to sleep with its calming lullaby. Being shaken awake, out of my calming sense of sleep, wasn't something that I wanted. Smacking the hands away from me and murmuring for them to leave me alone also didn't seem to work because I was still shaken even after that. "Dora is picking the snacks alone, and we both know she doesn't have the best taste. You might want to go and help her." That had me awake almost immediately. She never chooses the speckled eggs and always goes for kale chips or something healthy and sugarless that has no taste at all. Smiling and eating it just to make her happy is what dad and I did, but for the last while it has been becoming increasingly more difficult. Jumping out of the car,
Ryder's P.O.V That girl will be the death of me still. What have I gotten myself into? Thinking of simpler times I tried to get everything into the little cottage that will be me and Mary's home for the next month or two before we would need to move on while also trying to finish the breakfast before she woke up. She never understands that I am doing this for her, to keep her safe from everyone and everything. At least that is the excuse I use whenever she asks me. I painted this picture of a group of bad men that are following us and that they want to take her away from me to somewhere where she would be sad. It's been working so far but I do for a fact know that I would need to get a better story together because as she gets older she will be asking more intelligent questions and won't be falling for this stupid story anymore. All she wants to do is go out and play and make friends but I can't risk anyone seeing and recognising her for who she really is. One would think that
Getting Mary and everything back in the car really wasn't as easy as I thought it would have been with everything still mostly packed as we hadn't gotten to the unpacking part as of yet. It had taken a little more time than I had wanted it to take but we were still able to leave before any wolves showed up. Keeping my eyes in the rear view mirror I saw some shadows of wolves just as we were turning from the dirt road onto the paved road. I hope and pray to the Moon Goddess that they do not give chase and just let us leave peacefully and without a fight. I might not have seen anyone following but being on the run for the last five years have definitely taught me that not seeing someone following doesn't mean that they aren't following behind you. I drove around taking random turns and making random stops just to be sure that I wasn't being followed and that they had just wanted to install a false sense of security by staying a little back making me think I
Mary's P.O.V I woke up way before we arrived at the bed and breakfast last night. I just saw how worried dad was and how not worried his eyes were when he saw me sleeping and save so I pretended to sleep all the way there. I don't know who these bad men are and daddy doesn't want to tell me the story but when I see how afraid dad is that makes me really scared because dad is this big tough man and him being scared means that the bad men have to be even bigger and badder than daddy. I was kinda scared when he got out of the car after he stopped and left me alone in the car to go into the store but I'm a big girl and that means I can't be scared of stuff like this. I have asked daddy if I could train with him but he said that I am still to young for all of that and that when the time comes he will start my training. I really try and be the best girl I can be as to not put any extra stress and worry towards dad because he already has. Somet
I woke up quite early despite what had happened last night and didn't feel like I needed any more sleep so I decided to wake daddy up by launching an all out tickle fest on him. He loved to do it to me so why should I let him have all the fun when I can also have some fun.To say my plan didn't work would be an understatement. He hadn't even moved and when I sighed and got on him so I could reach his most ticklish arms he had me in a tight bear hug making me giggle when he started tickling me back just as much as I had tickled him when I wanted to wake him up.Not wanting to get up and daddy still holding me close and cuddling me we just laid in bed until my stomach growled loudly.Daddy started poking me in the stomach asking if I was hungry. His poking made me giggle again but I still managed to do a yes nod with my head telling him that I was indeed hungry. Daddy started tickling me again before he told me to get dressed so long and to meet him do
