The Ghost Hunters and The Familiar Strangers

Evan decided to go check up on Laura. He went to the same spot as he checked her room but he was surprised to see her room light wasn't on. "could she be asleep already?". He asked himself. Only one way to find out. He used his hearing power as he heard voices and the mention of someone's name that sounded so familiar. He couldn't be sure if it was the same person or not so he decided he was going to go in and find out.

He walked to the house and knocked at the door. Immediately a young girl appeared in front of him. She stared at him from head to toe.

"Who are you?". She asked.

"Ashley who's that?". Laura asked.

"I think this is for you". Ashley said as she went to join the others in the dining while Laura came to attend to the visitor.

Evan wore a hood that was covering his head so Laura couldn't get a proper view of his face. "who are you?". She asked as Evan removed the hood. When she saw it was him, she tried to close the door but he was fast to grab the door. "honey, who is that?". Her mom asked.

"it's no one". She yelled. "what are you doing here?". She whispered to him.ConTEent bel0ngs to Nôv(e)lD/rama(.)Org .

"What? Are you scared of me now?". Evan asked folding his arms. "listen, it's raining outside in case you can't see it. Can you let me in first?". Evan asked.

"There's no way I'm letting you in here". Laura said. All efforts to send him away or shut him out proved abortive. Evan decided to push his way through but how?

Then his opportunity came. A thunderstruck made Laura so frightened that she rushed to meet and hug him, holding him so tight that it was hard for him to breathe.

"Laura, are you okay?". before Laura could open her eyes, Evan was already in. She knew there was no way she was pushing him out now that he is in.

", Oh it's you". her mom said as Laura looked at both of them in shock.

"Good evening ma'am. I'm so sorry to come by, I was around your house on my way home when the rain started and I needed a shelter. I had no idea this was your home". He lied. Convinced by the lie, Laura decided to let him stay since he wasn't here for her or the kiss.

"Would you like to join us for dinner?". Her mom asked. Evan nodded as he joined the rest on the table where he met Reed of course and Laura's father who he's seeing for the first time. Evan was asked the same question too but his answers were simple and he didn't unveil the truth about his family and himself of course.

Laura wasn't comfortable eating with these two guys in the house. First, Reed, and now Evan. How many more does she have to encounter before you can be free? Laura asked herself as she ate her food slowly. While they were making jokes and laughing, Laura just sat there staring at the two guys sitting right beside her. Reed was sitting in front of her and Evan was sitting beside her. Could this day get any worse? She asked herself.

Evan decided to do something fun. Since Laura was sitting beside him, he decided to make her uncomfortable. He placed his arms on her thigh as Laura gasped.

"sweetheart are you OK?". Her mom asked. Laura nodded as she took a glass of water and gulped every drop. Evan was enjoying the show Laura was putting up. He wants to see how long she can keep on pretending. He moved his hand up and down her thigh, making her give a false cough. She put her left hand under the table as she tried to pull his hand away but instead he grabbed her hand and filled the spaces between her fingers.

Laura knew she couldn't run away so she did the one thing she could think of, she purposely dropped her spoon on the floor without anybody knowing but, of course, Reed and Evan saw it. She bent down to pick making her necklace come out from its hiding place. She made sure she pinned the spoon on his hard so strong that Evan quickly removed his hand. If he wants to play dirty then he's ready to.

Reed was there staring at them. He was the only one suspecting that something was going on between those two. After Evan stopped harassing her thigh, she sat down feeling fulfilled. Immediately she started eating, the whole scene started again.

Reed held his ears as the buzzing sound came again. He stood up as everyone stared at him. "He's at it again". Laura said feeling somehow. "what?". Evan asked.

"This is the second time he's doing this". she told Evan.

"Reed are you OK?". Laura asked. The moment she stood up and tried to touch Reed, Reed pushed her but her father was quick to grab her. "Are you OK?". Her father asked.

Laura nodded. Just as her father was going to set her down on the chair, his eyes caught the necklace she was wearing and his ears started buzzing.

He knew what it meant the moment he saw the necklace but how she got that necklace was the question. And if Reed was feeling this way too, does that mean Reed is a vampire too? He asked himself as he quickly rushed to the room. Evan came closer to Laura as he saw that the necklace was blinking. He knew he couldn't get it off her but he knew he could hide it. He quickly pushed the necklace inside her clothes as the buzzing sound in their ears stopped. Reed was breathing so heavily as if he just run a marathon. He was out of breath too. Martina quickly rushed to check on her husband.

"Are you OK?". Laura asked as Reed removed his hand from his ears and blood was in his palms. "Oh my god! You're bleeding". She said as she quickly rushed to get the first aid box.

"I've got to go. Thank your mom for the dinner". He said.

"but it's still raining....". Before Ashley could finish her sentence, Reed was gone. When Laura came with the first aid, she couldn't find Reed.

"he left". Evan said as he took the first aid from her. "but I know who needs that treatment". Evan said as he told her to sit down while he raised her foot and there was blood gushing out of the foot.

Evan's eyes were failing as his body got thirsty for blood. He tried his best to make sure he had taken care of her feet without having a taste of her blood. It was really hard to concentrate. He thought he had gotten over his bloodthirst, but he guessed wrong is there something about her blood?

Martina got into the room only to see her husband with claws and fangs. She was shocked. She quickly locked the door to make sure no one comes in. She stood far away from her husband as she watched her husband panting heavily, his eyes were red which means he was thirsty for blood. Martina had no idea what to do. She stood there like a statue, watching her husband become a monster in her very eyes.

"Where's your mom?". Evan asked.

"she's with dad". Ashley said. "but the door is locked". She said.

Evan knew what was going on in there. If Jones is a vampire then it's wrong for Martina to be in there. He has to do something before things go out of proportion but what? How can he save them both without things going wrong?
