R*A*T*S (Sequel To A*M*E*R*I*C*A)

Chapter 30

Ricky's POV: 

"What are you talking about Hyde?" I stepped in front of Balz despite him trying to stop him. 

The older vampire's eyes went from gold to their normal dark brown. Then out of nowhere Kaz appeared just behind Hyde but his eyes were also their normal dark color. Hyde changed his hair color to blonde and seemed a bit more...relaxed? Kaz looked different as well. The two stood in silence for a moment, the only sound being the faded applause of the audience and some laughter coming from backstage. 

"We...."Hyde paused to look over to look at Kaz who raised his eyebrows at him before turning back to us. "I came to ask a favor from you." 

"Favor? What-" Before I could finish my sentence, someone sped past us and had Hyde pinned against the wall next to us. It was Chris. Hyde was tiny compared to Chris, but Hyde didn't seem to be phased at all by him at all. 

"What are you doing here Hyde? You're not welcomed here." Chris growled. Call me weird but the way Chris had Hyde pinned up like that was kinda hot. But I need to shake those thoughts away!

"We did not come here as a threat Christopher. Please." Kaz calmly stated. Chris turned his head to the side to look at Kaz who still had a calm demeanor to him and then looked at me. I gave him a small nod letting him know it'll be okay. With that Chris let out a sigh as he let go of Hyde's throat but the vampire didn't seem phased at all. He just shook it off before going back to stand next to Kaz. 

"We came here on business only." Hyde adjusted the collar to his button up shirt as well as his blazer. 

"What kind of business?" Chris folded his long arms across his chest raising a perfectly drawn eyebrow at the two vampires.

"We wanted to ask to merge your sakasu with ours. May we speak to your owner?"

Chris's POV:

"Well you'll have to talk to me because Manson passed away some time ago." I bit my lip feeling my fangs had slipped out at some point during the confrontation.

"My apologies and condolences for your loss." The two vampires both gave me a deep bow before standing straight again. 

"Thank you, now what's your business proposal? And make it quick, I've got a show to run." Chris clicked his tongue as he finished his sentence. 

Hyde didn't take his eyes off of me, but they didn't seem evil. He actually seemed sincere. 

"We believe merging both of our shows together would benefit all of us."

"And what benefit is that?" Balz spoke this time. 

Kaz stepped forward this time lifting his hand up and snapped his fingers once. Before we knew it, a few more familiar faces appeared out of nowhere. The rest of Hyde's vampire buddies along with several familiar faces I recognized from the first time we met them. Only one of them I realized wasn't there.
