Samantha Emerson | The Lost Boys

I Am Coming

Chapter 19

Marko’s Pov

“Sam!  Sammy!”  Shit.  Shit.  Shit.  Why is this happening?  What is happening?  She was in so much pain, and I have no clue why!  My mind went haywire and the guys bounded in.  All gathering around the bed, my confusion seemed to mirror onto their faces; well everyone but David’s.  He seemed completely lost for words though.

“David!  What the hell is going on?” I yelled, a plead deeply filling into the words.  He didn’t stir; he was in his own world.

“David?” Dwayne asked.  Nothing.

“Davey, Davey, eggs and bacey?” Paul tried to tune.  Yet I could tell, the joy didn’t fill the words, or the confusing look on his face.

“David?” Laddie even whispered.  He was a blank slate.

“David!”  I screamed.  He blinked once, twice, and then looked at me.

“What?” he murmured quietly.

“What!?!  What the hell is happening?”  I huffed out bitterly, holding Sam close.  He turned to the others, a blank look on his face.  “Well?” I yelled to him.  He sighed and closed his eyes.  Then, after much anticipation, he finally spoke up.

“Sam is supposed to be your mate.”  Why is he bringing this up?

“Well, duh.” Paul said flatly.

“No, you don’t fully understand.”  He turned to me.  “Normally, the change would take a few days to really take hold; like it did for us.  But here’s the thing; Sam is supposed to be your mate, no doubt about it.  For her, her blood mixed with yours when you fed her.” 

“So what does that have to do with this?”  I asked, looking around.  Dwayne’s eyes popped open, and he was looking directly at David.

“That can’t be.  That is only a myth.” He said, shaking his head.

“Well,” David said, “we are supposed to be myth’s too.  Who says it can’t happen?”  Dwayne was quiet.

“What are you guys talking about?”  Paul questioned, the confusion etched into his face.  Trust me, I felt the same way.

“You have both fed off of one another.  Usually, that would only happen when both mates are completely turned.  You are, but Sam isn’t; not yet at least.  That blood bond is growing, and quickly too.  You are fine because you are not a Halfling, but for Sam, the bond is rapidly expanding, and she can’t keep up.  Your blood is…calling out to her, if you will, and it is taking over, spreading faster than she can handle.  She’s already experiencing the effects of it.  When all of her human blood has been taken over completely, there is nothing that she can thrive off of.” David explained.
