Carters POV

it was obvious there was something increasing wrong with Gregory, he looked like death—no pun attended. From the night into the grave yard up until now there has been a drastic change in her appearance and demeanor, even in the few hours from seeing him in the morning he looked worse. And now he has the audacity to tell me I'm not up to search for the amulet?! I mean, I can't deny, him being all serious and shit telling me not to go was sooo attractive. Like I had to literally swallow to keep myself calm. Also, I wasn't up for walking for hours on end.

The four of us stood there in silence, waiting for Gregory to answer my question (once again). I didn't want to take no for an answer now, I'm devoted to helping them I need to know what's going on—plus I want to make sure he's okay. It's as they expected tony and I to he completely transparent so why shouldn't it be reciprocated the same way.

"Well?" I asked in an annoyed tone, looking at Gregory with my arms spread wide as of saying are you looking for an invitation to start speaking orrrrr?

"Why can't you just drop it?" Gregory said deeply under his breath, with narrow eyes

"Because you look like you were hit by a 18 wheeler" I said seriously even though I wanted to chuckle

Silence

"Like I said it's nothing" he was keeping his tone strong and dominate—something I was familiar with with Collin—but unlike with Collin I wasn't intimidated or scared of Geogory

"Why can't you just tell me...were in this together" I tell him, my heart breaking. I just want to help him

"Gregory" freda began but stopped herself (how awkward were always bickering in front of them)

"It's nothing serious..." he paused, licked his lips and looks at his parents—back at me—and at his parents again "I just haven't been able to feed" he sounded utterly defeated

"Feed?" I asked questionably "what do you

Mean when you say feed precisely"

"You know exactly what I mean. I haven't been able to feed, On humans or animals"

Human??

"You bit a human?" My voice was more dramatic than I meant

"Of course" he smiled at me "they are the most delicious"

What—the—fuck

"We don't know what caused it" Fredrick finally spoke "but it's something we've never seen before. We have no idea how to treat it but, vampires need to feed. Our best bet is it find the amulet—that's the only chance"

"Only chance of what?" My voice Crocked

"Nothing—everything will be fine" freda said putting her hand on Fredricks shoulder and looking at him with a warning glare

"What can I do?" I asked, my heart pumping now knowing this new information that Gregory is sick.

"Maybe there's something written about ill vampires on that, uh what was it called? Internet?" Gregory looked at me

"I can look" I walked over to my laptop and turned it on

"Splendid" freda said walking over to Gregory "let's go sit down hun" grabbing his arm she led him to the couch, Fredrick following closely behind.

Gregory sat on the two person love seat; Fredrick and freda on the full couch. I unplug the laptop (which was fully charged) and sat next to Gregory, even sick he was the most stunning boy I've ever seen

"We're going to figure this all out" I told him grabbing his hand, purely out of instincts. He didn't respond verbally but instead squeezed it back, not letting go.
