What Amiya said kept everyone at unease and in confusion of what was really going on. There was much deeper meaning to the map than what they knew. It was full of puzzles.
"How'd you know it's you?" Hawaii asked Amiya, wanting to know more about the symbols and what they really represent.
"Because I'm a witch and a Salem descendant. This, here shows it..." She said and pointed at the symbol on the map.
"Or it could mean that those whatever are called things, end with you. They meet their end with you which means..."
Regina spoke out loud "Means you can kill them!"
"What?"
"Yes Miya, I mean look at this arrow, it's pointing on your sign clearly indicating they meet their end with you"
Alice interrupted "Wait guys, I don't think if our theories are right. I'd be stupid to believe Lunara will actually give an easy way out" she said and they agreed with her.
For sometime they were silent, all glued to the map which provided neither clarity nor specific information which could have determined the cause of their lives. They went back and forth, each had an idea to give and once they sought out more, the more they realized it just didn't fit out.
It was like they were rolling down on a circle. Starting at some point, feeling like they were moving towards something but just to find themselves right back at the centre of it all. It took them the whole day to discuss it, and still they didn't reach a conclusion.
Hawaii and Alice retired to the bar, while Nina, Regina and Amiya stayed in to further solve the puzzle.
The night was young, and so were the young people. The town looked marvelous and every place was packed with young people having fun. Hawaii and Alice were walking near the rollercoaster holding hands as they stared upon the ones who were in the rollercoaster having fun.
"Have you ever rode in one?" Alice asked him when they were sitting in an open restaurant with food they ordered on the table. She was the one eating while he just looked around.
"A rollercoaster?"
"Yes"
"I'm nine hundred years old Alice, I've literally lost counts of it"
"Well, I haven't"
"Really?"
"Yes, I was always afraid of them as a child. The whole circling alone can be a turn off"
"Well finish that food and I'll take you up there" He said but his eyes weren't fixed in one place.
He was all over the place, searching for a perfect food of his own. Alice seemed bothered by it, she said "Are you looking for your other girlfriend?"
"My girlfriend..." He said, and when he realized what Alice just told him, he quickly snapped "What? My other girlfriend?"
"Yes because I am your girlfriend, and you aren't paying attention to me"
"Ali..."
"What is it?"
"I'm searching for a perfect vein. Lord, I'm just hungry" He said with a sad facial expression just to gain some sympathy from Alice. And it worked, she felt a bit sad for him.
"How does it feel...to be a vampire? Like you have to feed every time?"
"Not necessarily"
A girl passes through them, she had a blonde hair and wore blue heels. She was a teen, of about fifteen years old. She was busy with her phone, exchanging messages and didn't want to miss a bit.
"There, she's perfect" He said.
"How do you know?" Alice grabbed her attention to the girl. Hawaii stood up and he said "Follow me"
Alice followed Hawaii, who was following the girl behind waiting for a perfect chance to grab her. Suck her blood and let her go. He was experienced in it, the rule was simple which he and Nina had established all their lives.
Suck and leave, but never kill because that's what causes attention and after what happened to other vampires who were burned in the basement, they knew better. The town may have been silent and safe per what the sheriff thought but it was far from that. The worst was yet to come, and they had no clue.
Hawaii and Alice followed the girl, down the street until she took a corner and came upon a dark sideway which had no pedestrians at all. "Perfect..." Hawaii said and he looked at Alice with a smile.
He used his vampire speed and pressed the girl on the wall hard. "You will not scream or make any noice" He looked straight into her eyes and compelled her.
"I won't" she said.
Hawaii turned to Alice with that grin of his and immersed his face into the girl's neck. He bit her slowly and started sucking her blood, the girl didn't scream at all and she stayed put.
Something was happening to Alice, her eyes had started turning when she smelled blood. But she fought it and looked back, Hawaii was busy feeding he didn't notice something was going on. "What's happening to me..." said Alice holding her head and grunting in pain.
Hawaii was alerted and he stopped. Took a look back and saw Alice on her knees, she was vomiting "Ali, what's wrong?" He bent down and pulled her up.
But he had blood on his lips, Alice fought it hard but she couldn't anymore and she kissed him while licking all the blood that he had on his lips. Then, she stopped but it wasn't sufficient hence she went for that girl who her neck was dripping blood.
Shocked and confused, Hawaii just watched as Alice sucked that girl dry. She drank every last drop of blood that was present, and she was feisty and determined to kill her. Hawaii fought against it.
"Alright, Alice stop it you'll kill her" He said trying to pull her away but she resist, she kept feeding and feeding and when the girl was close to fading. Hawaii pushed Alice and she fell on the ground. He then held the girl, fed her his blood so as to heal her and then he grabbed his attention to Alice who had picked up herself by then.
They locked eyes, and Hawaii's were of concerned and amazed by what had just happened. Alice's were confused and not knowing what was wrong with her. She looked at herself, covered in blood of an innocent girl who she would have killed if she continued feeding. "Am I a vampire now?" She asked shaking and trembling with fear.
"Hawaii, what's happening to me...?"
"It's okay, we'll figure it out"
"Nothing is okay about this" She snapped "I...I almost killed that girl! And I drank her blood, the urge was so strong to do it and I...I couldn't control it. I wanted it so bad, I wanted it and it nearly destroyed me. I can't be a vampire, I can't be..."
She cried it out loud, Hawaii held her close to his arms trying to comfort her. Alice was confused and so was him, nobody knew what happened exactly that made her turn into a vampire, of if she is even a vampire.
While Hawaii and Alice were met with their catastrophe, the same was about to happen to others. Nina, Regina and Amiya were inside Nina's house at night still trying to solve the puzzle and it was full moon.
Miraj was in town, and she had brought three werewolves. They met at Simon's parents house and planned everything about how they were going to attack the vampires who thought killed Cullen.
Simon knew where Amiya was with others and he had picked up a scent of her. These werewolves unlike Cullen's park, they don't chain themselves during full moon. They are proud to be wolves, and don't mind roaming the whole night tearing people up and they enjoy it.
That full moon night was of no expection, they gathered at an open space just before the moon had reached it's apex. Miraj was their leader, she was a bit old, in her mid twenties and very experienced at being a wolf. She was the one who trained Cullen at the first days of his transformation.
"Simon, you have the scent so you'll lead us to these vampires who killed Cullen" She said and then turned to others "You all know why I called you here, these people killed our friend. Killed my one true love and we are not going to let them get away. So, I want you to bite them. Tear them apart limb by limb, show no mercy"
"Are they all vampires?"
"Yes they are"
Simon intervened Miraj "Not all, I told you two of them are witches"
"Well witches, vampires or whatever they are I want them dead. You hear me, dead tonight"
Miraj continued giving out instructions to her pack and she held it down for long until she couldn't. The force of full moon overwhelmed her and she couldn't control it.
She fell back grunting, and the whole pack dispersed each to own holding it down. But until they couldn't, and they transformed whole into wolves. Simon led the way, they followed him with one intention only and that is to kill who they thought killed Cullen.
Hawaii had no idea or whatsoever about the plans of the werewolves or let alone existence of ones in town since he thought they all died after Gladys came to life and sacrificed them. Everyone thought they were safe from the werewolves, and free to roam at night during full moon.
"What's going on with me..." Alice kept asking and asking while Hawaii was leading the way to a nearby restroom. He didn't reply anything, Alice had covered herself up with his shirt to obscure hers which had blood all over.
He opened a door of an open supermarket, he picked up randomly a shirt and pants and then walked straight to the wash room, he let Alice in first and shut the door.
"Come take off your dress" He commanded and Alice removed her dress. Hawaii opened the tap and used the toilet papers inside to wipe up the blood off. He soaked them first and wiped Alice slowly while she just stood up silent not knowing what to do.
He wiped her whole body clean, and told her to wash her mouth too. He really was caring and loving to her, the last he needed was to see her get hurt or confused. He didn't know what exactly was going on but, he believed it's something that can be fixed but in the matter of time, he needed to hold on to her tight.
After he finished, he helped her put on the shirt and the pants and he held her face into his arms. He looked straight at her.
"Alice, listen to me. No one can know about this!"
"What? How are we going to keep this from them? I...I am vampire now I can feel it"
"Hey, hey look at me" He said and she calmed down and looked at him "It's alright, I'm a vampire too and do you see me struggling? What I'm telling you is, this needs to stay between us. I will teach you how to be a vampire, a good one and if this is going to be a forever thing when I also got you but don't tell anyone it's not a perfect time now"
"They will notice me, I just don't know how to...did you see how crazy I was back there. I nearly killed someone"
"Every vampire has a murder list stretching from Vienna to Rome trust me. And you didn't Ali, you didn't kill her. Listen to me, I got you, I got us. I will take care of you"
"Promise me"
"I promise you babe, I have your back"
She hugged him with tears rolling down between her cheeks and he embraced the hug, deeply. She knew she was safe between his arms, she had nothing to worry about. "I got you Ali" He said.
