Emerald Desires Adam
The meeting place was at the front of the flower shop that same day. Everyone - Evan, Reed, Adam, Emerald, Chloe, Sophia, Phoebe, Jim, Tyler, Bianca, Sam, Flora, Alex, and Jack stood formed a circle. Evan stepped into the middle to address everyone.
"I know we started on the wrong foot and I know that it's not real to let go of the past but I want to appeal to every one of you...". He said looking at everyone. "... this victory wouldn't have been possible if we didn't work together. We could attain this greater height because of our cooperation and I know there's a lot more we can do if we work together". He paused trying to see if he got everyone's attention. "Now the question is this, do we still want to work together or should we both go our separate ways". He asked.
Everyone studied each other. Reed decided to speak for his team since whatever he decides, no one objects to it. "Well, if I may speak...". Reed started moving to the middle beside Evan. ".... just like you said, we wouldn't have been able to attain this victory if we didn't work together. Therefore, I don't see why we should let go of each other at a time when we need each other". Reed said. "But isn't it all over?". Phoebe asked, "I mean we destroyed the vampires... what else are we working together for again?". She added.
"How are we sure that's all the vampires?". Adam asked. "Those vampires we dealt with might just be tenth out of thousandths or even ten thousandths".
"He's right". Reed said. "Listen, we need each other now more than ever. We can't let go now. What do you all say?". He asked his team. They all nodded in agreement except Phoebe. "Phoebe". Reed called when he noticed she wasn't saying anything.
"Ok fine. I'm in". Phoebe said after much consideration.
"Thank you". Reed muttered to her.
"So how's it going to be?". Evan asked. "Your place or ours?".
"We could do a shift sometimes". Phoebe said.
"Great idea". Evan said.
After finalizing everything, they all handshake, knuckled and hugged each other.
"Aren't we forgetting something?". Emerald asked as everyone turned to focus on her.
"And what might that be?". Evan asked.NôvelDrama.Org holds text © rights.
"Laura". she said.
"What about her?". Adam asked.
"sooner or later she's going to find out what she is now, what's going to happen to her then?". Emerald asked as everyone's eyes fell on Evan since she's now his property.
"I haven't thought of that. To be honest, I don't think I want to think about it". Evan said with a frown on his face.
"Sooner or later, you've got to make a decision". Emerald said as Evan nodded.
After a few chats, each team went to their abode as they prepared for a new day.
*******
Laura woke up trying to suppress the excruciating pain she felt on her forehead. She looked around and saw she was on her bed. She remembered having to save everyone's life and the next thing she remembered was falling to the ground. She didn't remember being bitten or what Evan did to save her life.
Laura tried her best to stand up but she wasn't strong enough. The head was aching too bad. She tried her best to keep her feet on the ground as she went out of the room straight to the kitchen.

Ashley was the first to see her. "You're awake. I thought maybe you had gone to the other side of the world, you know what I mean". She said winking at her sister.
"Not now Ashley. Can you look for the painkillers for me? My head is aching badly". She said as she took a seat on one of the kitchen chairs.
"Yes, ma'am". Ashley said as she looked for the pain killer for her sister.
Laura glanced around the whole room looking for her parents but she didn't see them. "Where's mom and dad?". she asked.
Ashley came with the painkillers and a glass of water, She gave it to her sister. Laura collected it as she took the painkillers. "They went to the shop".
Laura turned to look at her sister trying to see if she was joking. "They?".
"Yes. Dad went with mom to the shop". Ashley told as Laura chuckled.
"Seriously?".
Ashley nodded. "He's scared to lose any of his family to vampires". The mention of the word vampire made Laura's mood change. She's still very angry dad didn't tell them what he is. She believed if he had, none of this would have happened. And then, there's Evan and Reed who are also vampires and they kept it away from her. She tried her best to push the thoughts away and to forget everything but she knew she wouldn't be able to until she confronted each and everyone that lied to her. "I'm going to bed. Make sure to be careful ok?". Laura told Ashley who gave her a reassuring smile.

... Flashback...
When Adam and Lora were fighting, Lora seemed angry. Her claws were so long and sharp that they could cut the skin of any human. And her fangs were so sharp that we just all bite, it could leave a deep mark. While Adam was trying to protect himself from being bitten, he wasn't as cunning as Lora.
Lora knew he was trying so hard to avoid her bite so she decided to make him avoid both her fangs and her claws at the same time even though she knew how impossible that would be.
Lora tried using her claws to tear his face but he dodged it. She kicked him in the leg making him fall. She quickly used that chance to get on top of him and she pulled her claws and tried to put them in his eyes but Adam used his hand to hold her hand and immediately, Lora bit his hand.
...... Reality...
Adam looked at his hand and he could see her bite mark on his wrist. He knew if he didn't have someone to claim him, he would become bad. He decided that until he finds someone who he could learn to fall in love with, he would have her claim him. Now that there are more girls in the building, it wouldn't be that hard to get someone to claim him.
He tried considering Emerald but she belongs to Reed. Having her claim him would mean two vampires feeding off one girl and that wouldn't be nice.
He got a bandage and used it to cover his wound and made sure the wound stay hidden.
After Adam was done giving first aid himself, he could sense someone's presence and he knows that scent anywhere. He quickly hid the first aid kit as he went straight to the door to attend to Emerald.
A knock was heard on his door. He quickly opened it and immediately he did, Emerald jumped right into his hands and kissed him. Adam was shocked, he pulled her away a little and looked into her eyes. "Emerald". "You said you were going to help me". She said as her eyes were already watery.
"Are you ok?". Adam asked touching her hair and he could feel the hotness on her forehead. "Emerald, you're burning up".
"I don't want Reed... I want you". Emerald said as she looked into his eyes searching if he still has that same desire. "Do you want me to?".
