Chapter 20 - Are You That Dumb?

Morning quickly came, Jack who came back home late at night was soundly awake, well he looked like he didn't have a good sleep.

Nobody could get as curious as a scientist could, Jack was a guru at getting inquisitive and now he couldn't take his mind off seeing Liam cut his hand open, then dip his blood into a bottle and head for the location Max was, when earlier that day he fed Max a red liquid to get out from whatever was wrong with him.

Jack could swear that he has never seen such thing before in his life, someone's eyes suddenly changing colors and shouting maniacally, it was a first, even for him.

So although he acted like he believed every nonsense Liam and Max told him, he actually didn't, what tunic? That was blood!!

"Hey"

"Hey!"

"What the hell, Jack!!" Lucas shouted at Jack's face.

"What?!* Javk snapped out from his deep thinking,

"What the hell are you thinking about this early morning?" Lucas asked with an annoyed expression.

"That? Sorry." Jack slowly sat up.

"Did Liam inform you about where he would be going last night?" Lucas asked

"No, he didn't." Jack answered.

"I feel like Max and Liam are behaving a little bit too strange." Lucas said as he sat down beside Jack on the lower bonk. "I can understand while Liam is like that, we all know his grandma just died but I feel that something is off about Max."

Jack stared at Lucas, he thought he was the only one noticing these stuffs, but seems like it was quite visible to anyone close enough to those two.

"Really?" Although Lucas kinda had a hunch about those two, Jack felt like he'd be crazy to say he felt like Max was drinking Liam's blood.

"Yeah, we don't even know why Max was arrested, we can omly pray he is safe."

**********

By the time Max was released from the station it was already afternoon. Lieutenant Dan had secretly put Max's file on the list of suspected, he was gonna keep an eye on him.

They got back to the dorm but Lucas and Jack weren't around, they probably already went out for lectures.

"Freshen up, we have lectures by 1pm, it's still sometime before then, I'm a human and I think eating some good food will help refill my lost blood." Liam said to Max as he saw his friend lie on the bed.

Max laughed dryly as he got up and headed to the washroom.

Max couldn't stay long under the sun even with Liam's coat on, but that was okay for now, he couldn't actually carry umbrella around like a lady. And today was kinda cloudy and the sun rays were dim so he could bear it.

As they got to the cafeteria, Liam bought his food and sat down, Max was sweating profusely even though he just spent only approximately 20 seconds under the sun.

Just then as Liam and Max were discussing someone dropped a plate on the table and sat down beside Liam.

The area around the canteen was scanty and free of people as it was just 12pm, so thee table they were sited in could still fit 2 more people 'a table of four'.

"Hey Liam." It was Noah.

"Hey." Liam replied surprisingly, he didn't expect that he will see Noah here.

Max who was by the side could sense Liam's shift in mood and that wasn't only what he felt, he sensed a dangerous aura from Noah.

Sensing Max's strange gaze Noah suddenly shifted his gaze to Max and then he frowned.

Noah felt like he was looking at a long time nemesis, someone he could never befriend.

"Who are you?" Max and Noah asked themselves in strange sync, the sound of their voices overlapping each other.

"Ok, instead of asking who are, I will rephrase my question, what are you?" Noah asked with a sly smile.

Max stared warily at Noah, he didn't even think of suspecting Liam, bevause he knew his friend well, Liam won't sell him out to a random person. Random because he has never seen this guy around Liam before.

Liam who was by the side kept quiet, what could he do?

Hey, you guys just met what's up? Nah this was a wolf and a vampire.

Apart from an occasional super hearing he could swear that these two could kill him with a single swipe of their hands.

He could feel the spark between these two, who didn't even recognize each other.

If Max knew that this was the guy that killed him, maybe he will just start a fight here.

"I'm watching you man." Noah said as he saw Max stare silently at him. "Anything you are, it's oozing around the place and you could die at anytime, I feel like you are my prey, it'd be a shame if you died so quick." Noah said as he left his food untouched and exited the cafeteria.

He didn't even stare at Liam.

Liam felt angry, he suddenly felt like a minor in the big things unfolding and he didn't like the feeling.

"Who was that?" Max asked Liam with a serious look.

"You don't want to know, trust me." Liam replied. He really wanted to know what expression Max will have when he learnt about Noah's identty.

"Tell me, I felt a dangerous aura from him, and I felt like I'd loose to him in a fight before it even started." Max said anxiously.

"Of course you will loose to him, apart from sucking blood what else can you do?" Liam joked.

"I'm serious man, I want to know who he is, I feel like he is too dangerous for me not to keep tabs on him." Max said with his expression still solemn.

"Okay, okay, I will tell you."

"Yes, who?"

"Are you even that dumb? That guy killed you once, I'm pretty sure if you die a second time, then you will die for good."
