The Ghost Hunters and The Familiar Strangers

Sophia and Sam looked at the forest, trying to see if there were any human insight before they could begin their operation. After a few minutes of inspecting the environment, "The coast is clear". Sam said as Sophia nodded. "Let's begin". Sophia said as the two of them placed their palms on each other and slowly brought their palms to the ground. This allows them to see where those other vampires might have gone. It took two minutes before images started

flashing before their eyes until their eyes caught a vision of an uncompleted building with vampires inside and outside the building. Just as they were about to stop, their eyes caught sight of a little girl tied and blindfolded, and beside her was a man. The images started fading as the two of them removed their palms from the ground.

"I guess we've gotten what we wanted". Sam said as Sophia nodded with a smile on her face.

"But who could that man be?". Sophia dipped her hand into her pocket and brought out her phone.

"Evan didn't tell us we are rescuing two people". Sam said as he watched Sophia dial Evan's number.

"I better tell him about our latest discovery". she said as she waited for Evan to pick up his call but after waiting for too long, it turned out Evan wasn't picking up his call.

"What's wrong?". Sam asked.

"Surprisingly, he isn't picking up his calls. I've left him five calls and he didn't respond to any. Do you think something might have happened to them?".

"I don't think so. Let me call Reed". Sam said as he dialed Reed's number and in a jiffy, Reed answered.

"Sam?". Reed asked.

"Hi Reed. Is Evan there?". Sam asked.

"yeah". Reed replied.

"Can you give the phone to him?". Sam said.

"sure. Just hold on let me get it to him".

Evan was busy with the rest of the team; Phoebe, Tyler, Bianca, Adam, Chloe, and Jim, telling them about the change of plans. "Evan this is for you". Reed said as he handed the phone over to Evan who looked at the caller and saw it was Sam.

"Sam. What's up? Do you guys have their location?". he asked as he heard the sound of the phone being given to someone.

"Hello, Evan. It's Sophia. We have gotten the location and we saw a little girl tied up and she was blindfolded..."

"That must be Ashley. Good work guys". He told them. As he was about to hang up the call, he heard Sophia whisper some words but he didn't get her. "You say what?". he asked.

"There is a man with her and believe me, the man didn't seem to be in a good condition at all". Sophia explained.

"That must be the father". Evan told her over the phone.

"The father? but how come? he wasn't supposed to be out not to say kidnapped, how did it happen?". Sophia asked.

"It's a long story. I can't explain right now. Tell us about the location". Evan said as he put the phone on a loudspeaker so everyone can hear.

"It's at the side of a very big company but the company looks abandoned. Beside the company is an uncompleted building, that's where it is". Sophia said as they all look at each other.

"Can't you give us a better description? I mean, there are lots of abandoned companies here. How do we find this one you're talking about?". Phoebe asked. "That's like looking for a pin in the bush. Make it easier for us". Phoebe added. "I'm sorry but that's the only information we've got. We'll try our best to search over here too. We'll let you know if we see anything". Sophia said.

"Ok but remember no one must get bitten. Is that clear?". Evan told them. "This includes everyone". he said as they all nodded. Evan ended the call.

"I guess we have to split apart". Evan looked at everyone trying to see what to do besides, he still has a missing Laura to look for. "Reed and Chloe will go north". Evan said pointing to the path in front of them. "Phoebe and Adam will go East". he pointed to the left side. "Tyler and Chloe will go west". he pointed to the right side. "Jim and I will take south". He said as they all nodded. "if there's any other development or change of plans, I'll let you all know but make sure you all are alert. Those vampires might be lurking around". He told them as they all nodded and went to their different locations.

The sound of the owl hooting and the way the nighttime feels today scares the shit out of her. Not knowing where to go but with her feet moving in every direction, Laura glances back to see if she was being followed. The night has never been this scary but right now, this night is the scariest. She was glad to see no one was behind her so she stopped to catch her breath. As she bent down, her necklace came out of its hiding place and was twirling in every direction like a pendulum.

Just as she was still trying to go on with her journey to God knows where Laura had some sounds in the woods. She told herself it could just be some night creatures enjoying their time but when the sound and rustling of the trees came again, she decided not to take her chances and start running but before she could move an inch, a vampire appeared to her.

"Please don't kill me". she said as she pleaded but there's no way a thirsty vampire would listen to their dinner. The vampire took a step closer to her when Laura quickly kicked him in his groin too bad he wasn't expecting it. The moment the vampire went down to hold his groin, Laura took it as a chance to run away. Leaving the vampire alone to handle his pain, Laura ran. But the vampire regained himself and chased after her.

Running through the woods with so many trees and logs and because it was getting darker by the minute, made it so hard for Laura to seek refuge. The only source of light was the full moon and even the moon didn't give clearer light because of the trees.

Laura could feel she was running out of breath but she was too scared to stop. She continued running only for her to see one vampire coming from the front. She turned to the right, another was coming, she turned to the left another was coming towards her, when she looked back, she saw the angry vampire she kicked in the groin coming towards her. She had no idea what to do. She knew there was no way she would escape, it was not like she could kick all of them in the groin as she did to the first. Maybe this is the end of her life, there are no two ways about it. She thought to herself as the vampires came close to her, ready to devour when the moon's reflection shine on her necklace, attracting the attention of the vampires.

"She is wearing the silver moon necklace, everyone run". the vampire that was hit in the groin said but before they could take off, the light from the necklace allowed the necklace to glow so much that it got the vampires and they burnt and disappeared.

The moment they evaporated into thin air and her necklace were back to normal, Laura continued running not believing what just happened. Suddenly, she felt a hand drag her pushing her against the tree as she was running. As she was about to scream, the person covered her mouth. Laura closed her eyes trying to not see who will bite her. She waited to feel the fangs on her skin but nothing came so she opened her eyes and right in front of her was Evan. She didn't even know when she circled her arms around his waist and held him tight. Evan hugged her back.

After a few minutes, Evan pulled her back a little to look at her. "Are you ok?". he asked.

"Apart from the fact that some vampires almost ate me and I was saved by this necklace...". She said touching the necklace. "... I am fine".

"Wait! are you saying the light that glowed, that was you?". He asked.

Laura nodded. "I have no idea how I got this necklace but believe me, it just saved my life". She said as Evan looked at her stunned.

"Can you tell me what happened?". He asked as Laura explained everything to him. "I have to call the others, we have the key".

"The key to what?". she asked only for her to see Evan smiling.

Evan came closer and kissed her lips. "Thanks, Laura". He said to her but Laura didn't understand. She watched him call someone and the next thing she knew, eleven people appeared. The only person she could identify was Reed. "What's going on here?". Laura asked as she stared at the eleven people.

"Laura... this is Phoebe, Tyler, Bianca, Adam, Chloe, Jim, Sophia, Sam, Flora and Al, ex and o, f course you already know Reed". Evan introduced pointing to each of them. "We are here to help you get your sister and your father". "My father?". Laura asked.

"We believe he was captured". Sophia said.

"Captured?". Laura asked. "By who?".

"By the same people that captured your sister". Evan said.

"I don't understand. What do they want?". Laura asked. "first they took my sister and now my dad's gone. Can you tell me what the hell is going on Evan?". She paused trying to keep her acts together and to make sure she doesn't freak out. "A few hours ago, I had a battle with vampires.... vampires I thought never existed". she said. "Evan, talk to me. What is going on?". she asked as Evan sighed.

"Listen, Laura, all we know is that the people that took your sister, captured her to get your dad and now that they have both of them, they won't think twice about Killing your sister and that's why I need you to help us stop that from happening". Evan explained as Laura folded her arms.Belonging © NôvelDram/a.Org.

"You need me to help you do what?". She scoffed. "You must be kidding me".

"Laura, your necklace. It's the only solution right now". He said as Laura looked at him with disbelief.

"Oh! I forgot to tell you, I can't get the necklace off me, I've tried and even my sister helped but the necklace cannot be removed".

"I can remove it". Evan said.

"Did you have water in your ear or something?. I just said I have tried taking it off so many times but I couldn't and you feel like you can?". Laura laughed as she looked at him.

"I can remove it because.... I put it on you". Evan said as Laura's folded arms fall to her side.

"What?". Laura asked still looking at him.

"I... Am... A vampire Laura". Evan said waiting to see her reaction but she was too shocked to even react.

"We all are". Reed said as She looked at him and everyone standing there and they all agreed to the charges.

Laura felt her legs failing her as she quickly grabbed a tree and held it into it for support. She has had a lot to deal with but this was the last straw that broke the camel's back.
