Blood Bound

Martha's POV

I take a deep inhale from the hookah pipe, letting the shisha soothe me. I sat with my sisters at the VIP section of the club.

"You mean Gina's a vampire, babe how's that possible" one of my sister's Linda Ibanga asked with her penciled brow up.

"I have no idea" I answered vaguely.

"So any run ins with those filthy vultures?" Tilda Shedrack asked worriedly.

The others all reported yes and no's but I said nothing about those witches attacking Gina to them, for they'd want to sacrifice her to appease them.

We continued our talks while drinking ourselves to oblivion, It was the norm for us, every Friday night we'd smoke joint together and report any new development as the killed humans and others despite the treaty.

"Hey isn't that Gina entering the bathrooms with that clown Samuel" Alice said alarmed.

"Yeah she's got a crush on the guy for ages now so I'm not interfering" I said not bothered, it wasn't like I was her guardian or her parents, I was just her best friend.

Ten minutes later my sisters gave me a funny look.

"Guys what?" I asked not getting their stares.

"Can't you smell that?" Talia asked.

"Smell what?" I asked

"Blood" My sisters chorused.

I inhaled deeply, and confirmed their claim. I could smell blood wafting from the bathrooms, it was faint not strong but enough to let me know something was wrong, I could only hope I'm not too late.

I navigated my way toward the bathrooms, pushing away touchy drunk guys and stopped by the doors. I pushed open the doors to see a very horrified Gina with blood stains in her face and clothes and a dead Samuel by her feet, drained off every blood in his skin.

"s**t" I swore. What have you done Gina

Gina's POV

"It's not what it looks like, I swear I didn't kill him someone else did" I cried out.

I had nothing to do with Samuel's death, one moment we had been making out, the next I had my fangs on his throat, feeding off his blood and then he had been thrown off me, by someone else, another vampire who jumped on him, draining him. And when I had looked up the vampire was gone, he had disappeared into thin air.

"Are you kidding me, Georgina, na him blood full your face" Gina shouted, giving me a look full of disbelief.

"I swear Martha, I no do anything, there was this guy, a...a white man" I shouted back trying to prove my innocence. I needed Martha to believe me, I would swear if need be for me to.

"Wh... White man" Martha stuttered " how.. what, come girl make we comot here" Martha said frantically.

Fifteen minutes later we were out of the club, and on our way home, I could see everything clearly despite it being two am in the morning. Just then a black Lexus three-sixty packed in front of us.

"Get in" Emeka beckoned.

"What's wrong, why are you both running away like you killed someone?" He asked. Emeka's eyes widened when he saw the guilt on my face.

"You did, didn't you, oh my goodness I'm not going to prison with you" he rambled on "I'm not an accessory for murder, you never saw me, I'm not friends with either of you" He jabbed a finger at both Martha and I.

"Shut up Emeka, take us out of here or I'll make sure you die for real this time around" Martha hissed shutting him up, he drove off almost immediately.

The drive back to my lodge was uncomfortably silent as none of us wanted to talk about what had happened back in the club. I shifted in my seat as I recalled the look in the man's eyes as he raked his eyes up and down my form. I hadn't been entirely honest with Martha, the other vampire, I had seen his face and he had hissed a warning in my ear before he had disappeared into thin air.

" what did he look like Gina, the white man I mean?" Martha asked breaking the silence.

"A white man, what the heck are you doing with a white man Gina?" Emeka burst out.

I ignored Mr. Melodramatic and faced Martha.

"I did not see his face Martha, he moved faster than anything I've ever seen considering my new speed it was like watching the flash move about, then the next second Sa...Sammy was drained and he disappeared" I reported my voice breaking at the end.

"Another vampire in Aba! Martha I'm leaving town, no offense Gina but I want nothing to do bloodsuckers" Emeka eyes flashed a violet color in his anger.

"You aren't going anywhere, we are staying in this town and we are helping out best friend in her time of need. Am I clear?"

Emeka grumbled an unintelligible response that even with my enhanced hearing I couldn't decipher.

"Home sweet home" I announced the moment the car packed in front of the locked gates of my apartment. I stepped down wincing slightly as Martha slammed the door shut.

"I know you're keeping something from me, we'll talk whenever you are ready" Martha said giving me a look that made me guiltier than I already was.

I nodded as I couldn't tell her yet, watching the car drive off while Martha waved at me.

Leaping through the brick wall that served as a fence, I landed gracefully like a cat. Then superspeed to my apartment.

I discarded my clothes the moment I was in my living room, leaving me only in my underwear. I needed to wash out the blood stains in my face and body so I stepped into the bathroom, scrubbing my skin and hair until every blood stain had been washed out. Turning off the shower I took a tower from a rack then dried my body and since I shared my flat with no one, I stepped into my bedroom and screamed when I saw him.
