The Vampire Next Door

Chapter 38

Harry carried Luke to the cabin while he was still unconscious. Once he entered, Jake and Louis bombarded him, asking him what happened, and he explained to them, stunning them to silence.

"See? I told you he has a good reason for doing this bullshit," Jake remarked.

"I'm leaving," Harry announced, "Keep her here." He gestured vaguely towards me.

"What? Where're you going?" I asked, afraid of the answer. I know he's running off to The Masters to give them a piece of his mind, and for them to set Luke free, but I shouldn't let him go like that. They would hurt him. They're much stronger than him, and if they already know about the revolution we're planning, they'd kill Harry the moment they see him.

"Where do you think?" Harry snaps.

"Harry, you can't just go there! You'll get hurt," I exclaimed.

"I have to do something! Fuck!" He shouted, "I can't just sit there while they're hypnotizing my friend and trying to kill you in the process. I failed to protect you many fucking times and I'm sick of it!"

"That's why we're doing this revolution, Harry," Jake responded calmly, "It'll be over soon."

Louis and Harry tied Luke into a chair where won't be dangerous if he woke up in the same state as before. We waited for a few hours before Luke woke up, and when he did, he was normal, at least for the first few minutes.

He realized he was in ropes and looked at us questionably.

"You were hypnotized, Luke," Louis explained. Luke's eyes widened and once his gaze fixed on me, it got harder and more intense.

"Luke," Harry snapped his fingers in front of his face, trying to bring him back. Luke still made no move and his eyes kept piercing their way to me, making me freeze in terror. "LUKE," Harry finally yelled. Luke slowly teared his gaze from me to Harry, his expression still deadly.

"He's far gone," Louis said, inspecting Luke's eyes.

"I will kill you all," Luke said it so slow, chills went down my spine. His tone dripping with venom. His gaze turned back to me, "Especially you. I will torture you so hard and slow."

Harry's jaw tightened, "Luke I'm contemplating snapping your neck right now. You can fight this. This is not you. The Masters did this to you, I know you're still in there somewhere."

Something snapped inside of Luke because he started thrashing violently in the ropes. He broke free from one of the layers on his left hand. His eyes turning and impossible shade of vibrant blue, indicating the control The Masters had over him.

"Go," Harry motioned for me, "Sarah get out of the room now! Jake go with her."

"Harry this is too dangerous for you. Leave too." Louis argued, as Luke still thrashed in his seat, almost free. I panic at the sight, we don't have much time. I look at Harry and Louis, still discussing.

"He's after me and her. I have to settle this. Sarah, don't make me repeat myself." He turns to me, his frown becoming more prominent. He kissed my lips before pushing me away gently.

"Please be careful," I pleaded as Jake guided me out of the room quickly. I tried my best to hide my tears.

[Harry's POV]

Luke broke free from the ropes and attacked me immediately. I shielded myself from his pounce and pushed him to the side, making him fall to the ground.

"LUKE! FIGHT THIS!" I hear Louis yell at him, as he attacked me again. He pushed me to the ground forcefully, making me wince in pain.

"M-Must.. kill you," Luke mutters over and over again, his trance steady. He punches me repeatedly until I finally dodge one and flip him over and punch him back, just once. I wasn't keen on hurting him. He pushed me back and got on his feet fast. He screamed as he grabbed onto my shirt and threw me all the way to the end of the cabin, making the wooden wall collapse over me.
