Vampire Hunter // Colby Brock

~ Part 79 ~

How did he know what I was? And more importantly, why did he gasp? Sure, I'm not the most common creature but surely he would have seen another of my kind during his long life. If he's an old one, that is. Colby's signature protective growl brought out my defensive side. I wanted to storm out there and confront the vampire. "Interesting." The vampire paused. "You have a particular liking to her?"

"That's none of your concern." Sam snapped at him angrily, a snarl like sound coming from him as well. Since when did Sam care about me enough to be protective like Colby?

"Oh but it is." The vampires voice SOUNDED annoying and cocky. How on earth am I going to stand not going out there to slap the shit out of him or doing ANYTHING to shut him up? "You see, if she is important to you, we can not harm her. Call it old fashioned but it is the way we run." Another pause. "However, if she's not then I have no problem ripping her throat out right now." The loudest growl I've heard from Colby ever in the time I've known him rattled the room. Or it felt like it, at least.

"Touch her and you won't live another second." Colby sounded intimidating, too. I could imagine how he'd look, vampire eyes and all. In the serious situation, it made me feel a certain type of way.

"I shall not and I shall also warn the others against it but I must say, she caused quite the ruckus killing old John." I bit my lip nervously, privately regretting ever going out to specifically kill a vampire before going to the clan meeting. It felt like forever ago now (maybe that's cause it was 78 parts ago. Damn, breaking the fourth wall 😜).

"She was just a vampire hunter then. That was pretty much her whole point of living." Elton stated angrily. And now he cares too? Even just a little bit? There was a long silence before the other vampire let out a chesty laugh.

"She has no idea what she's gotten herself into. And she's dragged you down with her. Whether she loves you or not, she's going to be the death of you. All of you." Now he sounded angry too. My eyes met with Mike's, who was focussing on the vampire still lying on the floor until that moment. He gave me a gentle smile and tiny shake of his head as if to say it wasn't true. "We won't attack her unless we get the chance. I suggest you look after her now." The vampire let out a snarl as he disappeared. I heard his feet lightly tapping on the floor outside. Well, that's not terrifying or anything.
