“You know Avid,” Scott's voice rang in the forest, strangely calm for someone Avid had just threatened to kill. “I don't really appreciate that. The-” He paused as if tasting the word he was about to use. “Threat, you just sent my way.” His voice was mirthful, as if it wasn't really a threat to him. “What I also don't appreciate,” He stepped forward, and Avid let out a frightened sound as his red eyes got illuminated, his washed out hair gleaming in the moonlight. “Is you trying to out me. Isn't that rude? Outing people?” The vampire purred it, and Avid took a step back, hand shaking as it grabbed for his stake.
“I- I knew it was you.” His voice shook. “I- should have-”
“Done what? Killed me then and there? Why, you may have even been able to manage it that first day.” He smiled. “Unfortunately, Avid, I've grown stronger. We've grown stronger.” Avid froze, rustling from the forest all around him suddenly all becoming suspect. “How- How many people have you turned?” Avid's voice shook. “How many have you killed?”
Scott smiled. “Enough. Soon, one more.”
Avid's heart dropped. “No- No no no no you aren't- you cant-” He stumbled back, the stake rising further.
“I can,” Scott smiled, stepping forward. “And I will.”
Avid sucked in a breath, eyes wide and panicked, before throwing a handful of silver pellets at Scott and bolting.
Scott hissed, the silver burning him mildly, and Avid heard him raise his voice. “No, this is my hunt. Stay out of it. I will catch him.”
Avid's heart beat, his lungs ached, his head swam. Scott was- he was actually a vampire, he was actually-
He had to get back. He had to warn them, he had to-
He screamed as a shape lunged in front of him, slowing to reveal the blue haired vampire. His mouth widened in a grin, showing his sharp fangs.
Avid immediately turned, trying to bolt a different way, but even before the claws reached his shoulder he knew it was too late.
Avid was tackled to the ground, his head thudding painfully against the hard dirt, his breath knocked out of him so bad he couldn't breathe at all.
Scott stared down at him with a grin, lips parting widely. “Caught you.” He purred. “No need to run. It will be fine. Who knows, you may even enjoy this life.” His grin turned into parted fangs. “Or at least I'll enjoy this.”
