The Lust for Power: Chapter 40

Mikmak’s POV

When I saw Kari bit Josh I almost got a hyper tension. Kari ran away towards the forest, Josh tried to follow her but he’s weak. I stop him and he collapse, I catch him instantly. The blood was flowing from his neck. I feed him some nectar and ambrosia but he’s still unconscious.

“Let’s try to bring him out; maybe the light can restore his energy.” Evan suggested.

When the light hit Josh, it seemed that he absorbs it. He was glowing and his wounds, including Kari’s bite, were healing. Josh started to wake up.

“Where is Kari…?” He murmured. I started to cry. I don’t know what happened to her. She once told me that she’s a vampire but all I thought was she was just kidding.

Evan patted my back and gave me a handkerchief. I turned and hide my face.

“Sorry Josh but he’s gone...” Evan explained.

I choked a sob before turning my head back to my friends. Josh was ready to cry but when he saw me he didn’t let it go.

“We’re going to find Kari no matter what,” Josh promised with a shaky voice.

“But we need to get back to camp first, we need to report this to Chiron…maybe he knows why…” Evan stammered to continue but he doesn’t need to finish his sentence.

I straightened and wore my confident face. “Let’s pack our things I’ll call our ride.”

While Josh and Evan were packing our things, I whistled, paging my pegasi friends.

Suddenly three winged horses came. We rode to our pegasi and flew back to camp.

Everyone in camp was waiting for our arrival. When we landed at the top of the hill, many campers surge forward and ask a bazillion of questions at once. Suddenly Chiron appeared in the crowd. When he notice that Kari is missing he offered us a talk and led us to the big house.

We tell Chiron all of the things that happened.

“I think I know the answer,” Chiron said. Josh sprang to his feet and move closer to Chiron. “You know why?!” He said aloud.

“Well, After gods started to well...create children with mortals.Nyx also started creating what you call now vampires. Vampires are considered to be Nyx's daughters and sons of Erebus. Vampires are mortal children picked by Nyx.They are marked by a tracker (male vampire) by putting cresent moons on their forehead. Like the tattoo on Kari's forehead. Kari is Nyx's daughter, but Kari won't turn into a vampire unless her mother wants too and I’m afraid she already change her into one.” He explained.

“And do you know how to change her back?” I asked. All of us got tensed...
