"Shut up" Gerald told me. "Stop thinking. You're terrible."
"Mind your own thoughts, will you?"
"I would try if you weren't so noisy and pessimistic."
"Read their minds, not mine"
"I can't, you speak with yourself more than they do, so shut the fuck up"
"Ok, you will pay for this", I thought to myself.
"Jullie, please, I'll let you kill me at home, now let me focus"
Gerald's gift was to read the minds of others. Somehow he knew George was not afraid at all. He did not knew his enemy. We did.
"Come on Victor" said the fourth one "let's feed first and then deal with Edgar"
"Run, run as fast as you can" Edgar yelled to George.
"I'm not afraid of a pack of old fools" George said in a proud voice
"You are the fool, these are not people" Edgar screamed
"And now you do it again, don't you Edgar, you just cannot stop yourself" Victor said, in the next moment Edgar caught fire and burned down entirely.
For the first time Gerald sensed a sign of fear in George.
"Now" he gave me the signal. In a minute Gerald was in front of George and I at his back.
"Touch him and you are all dead" Gerald said
George frowned.
"Well, looks like the little fellow has some friends" Daniel smiled. "Two more, Two less, what's the difference? Get them Victor!"
"Why? So that you would tell everybody how you killed three vampires and fed on my behalf?" Victor asked. "No, dear Daniel fight them alone" finishing his sentence Victor and the other two vampires raised themselves to the sky and disappeared leaving Daniel alone in front of us. Edgar also ran away, happy he escaped this time.
This was unexpected. Just the two of us and Daniel. And we had to protect George.
Didn't know where the first hit was about to come, but we found out quickly. He tried to use some kind of a spell on Ger and paralyze him, but Gerald jumped just in time to avoid it, instead a dog on the alley found his last moments.
"Hm, this was for you" Daniel said nervous "I'm not here to kill dogs"
I was the next, I had to take George in my arms and fly a few steps back and protect him with my hands.
"Threatening girls, a?" Ger screamed "Aren't you man enough to have a man to man fight? beast?"
"I'm not afraid of you pussy" Daniel shouted and tried to hit Ger again, but Ger was prepared and the next minute Daniel was lying on the street with a belt of silver on his neck.
"I might know a few tricks too" Ger said "Who are you snake?, who is your master?"
"See that I might tell you, not even in your dream"
"Are you hungry pig?" Ger asked showing to George, "we might have a bargain and give u my friend if you tell me who you are and who is your master?"
"I'm not fooled, you wouldn't sacrifice your dear friend for me"
"Why not? He's only human"
George was freezing in my hands. I could see that now he was not so sure about himself, nor about me, or Ger, or who we were or what we were. I could sense his fear, feel him trembling in my hands, feeling my new strength and the trickery of his supposed friend Ger. My gift was that I could feel other's feelings and the type of individuals that they were. In the same time, only Gerald could read my mind, for the rest of the vampires it was a blank page. "Keep your calm and never forget who we are and what we are to you" I whispered the words as quietly as I could so that only George might hear them. "Don't turn to me", he didn't, Daniel was watching us carefully from the place where the silver belt kept him still.
"Wanna eat something before you die dog?" Ger asked? He paralyzed George in my hand putting him into a state of unconsciousness close to death. Took George from my hands and sneaked him under Daniel's nose, "He smells good, isn't he? If you want him, he's yours, just tell me who you are and where you are coming from?"
Daniel was unsure what to do, give away his secret, break the code of silence between the vampires and eat and catch power to liberate himself from the silver belt or shut up and die, the silver going slowly through his veins poisoning them second by second. He was getting weaker. By down he would be dead.
"Victor is my master", he cried "He is from the clan of the west."
"I sow that" Ger said, "Something else? What is he up to? Where is hiding?"
"He's not hiding, he's the vampire's master. He's the leader"
"And why are you stealing the benefits of his work, snake?"
"This is an old feud of us. He's not what he seems to be, just an old bastard"
"Just like you, isn't it?"
"Enough", Daniel said "Give me to eat, I won't say anything else"
Gerald put George's neck close to Daniel's mouth enough as forGeorge to be able to taste a few drops of blood. Then he pulled George back.
"Now die" Ger said slaying Daniel's head before he could do something.
I was terrified.
"Are you mad? You killed George, no I didn't" Ger said
He cut his hand and poured drops of blood on George's teeth. Then we went back to Sasha.
"What the hell Ger, you made him a vampire?" Sasha screamed. "Daniel's blood and yours?This could poison him you fool, there supposed to be only one type of blood for the transformation, two might kill him"
"Daniel fed on human blood, Sash, he was powerful, more than mine, I gave up feeding on people, remember? Daniel's blood would help him be strong, besides when he awakes he will know all of Daniel's secrets, Daniel's memory would come to his mind. Remember I killed vampires before"
So that was it. Gerald transformed George giving him strength and Daniel's memories.
"How did you knew all this?" I asked
"Sasha's library remember? You said I had nothing to do there, but I found some things I could never believe they might exist"
"The silver belt?"
"One of them, and how to transform people into vampires"
"You don't know anything yet, the all seeing guy can transform every vampire into human. And Guy and I finally found him. And we''ll transform you back into humans so that this madness would stop" Sasha screamed furiouselly because of what happened to her twin soul.
