Falling for my Vampire Captain 136
Rydan’s POVI was off the sofa before Bruno had completed his first step toward the hallway.“Stay here,” I said to Franklin.I didn’t look back to confirm he had heard it. Bruno was already moving and I followed him, which was an instinct I had developed over six years with him… he had never once oriented that way toward nothing.The hallway was lit and ordinary. The coat hooks, the side table, the runner on the floor. Bruno moved along it with his nose low and his ears forward and his tail doing nothing, which was the version of him that I took most seriously.He stopped at a door.The room at the end of the east corridor, which we had been using for storage and overflow since we arrived… boxes, some of my things, equipment bags from the match. Bruno stopped in front of it and sat down, which was not the behaviour of a dog who wanted to go through a door. It was the behaviour of a dog that had decided its job was done and the rest was my responsibility.I put my hand flat against th

Rydan’s POVI went to the window first.The property beyond the glass was dark and still, the security lights casting their fixed pools across the driveway and the gate and the stretch of path between them. Nothing moved within any of the illuminated areas. I extended my awareness through the glass and into the cold air beyond it and followed the scent that had pulled me forward.It was there. Close enough to be deliberate, faint enough to be deniable.Then it moved.Not toward the house… away, laterally, along the outside of the property wall, and then gone, the way these things went, between one moment of tracking it and the next of losing it.I looked at Franklin.He was asleep. Genuinely, deeply, his face turned slightly away from me, completely absent from the present situation in the way that people are when their body has taken the decision out of their hands.I went downstairs.The grounds were cold and the security were at their positions and nothing was out of order in any v

Rydan’s POVThe nozzle was still in the tank when Franklin’s voice came through the window.“Hurry.”I didn’t need the instruction. I had already registered the flicker and the particular quality of silence that followed it… the station’s ambient hum cutting out for the half-second the lights wavered, and in that half-second the absence of it was louder than the hum had been. The other cars at the pumps hadn’t moved. The attendant was still visible through the glass, looking at his phone.But something had changed in the air.I replaced the nozzle and got back into the car and Franklin was already looking straight ahead in the way he looked when he was managing something internally and didn’t have the bandwidth to speak while doing it. I started the engine and we pulled out onto the road and I kept the speed consistent without making it look like speed.I watched the mirrors for a full four minutes.Nothing followed. The road behind us was ordinary… other cars with ordinary reasons fo

Rydan’s POVI moved to the window first.The engine sound was coming from the direction of the road we had turned off, which meant whoever was driving it had found the track. Not stumbled onto it… found it, which meant they had either followed us more carefully than I had believed or had a different means of locating us than headlights and road sense.I went to Franklin and put my hand on his shoulder.“Franklin.” Firm, not gentle. “Wake up.”He made the sound of someone leaving sleep reluctantly, which under other circumstances I would have let him have. Not now.“Franklin.” I squeezed his shoulder. “Now.”He came up blinking, taking in the dark of the cabin and my face and the expression on it and moving through the stages of orientation faster than most people managed. “What…”“Car,” I said. “On the road. Get up.”He was on his feet.I told him quickly… the engine sound, the direction, the conclusion. He listened and nodded and we moved toward the cabin door and the car beyond it,

Rydan’s POVFranklin’s hand touched my arm briefly… the particular pressure of someone directing attention without words. He didn’t look at me when he did it. He kept his eyes forward, his body in the posture of someone walking normally toward a car, and the touch said everything it needed to say.I had already seen the figure in the driver’s seat.“Get in,” I said. Low, conversational, the tone of two people finishing an evening rather than responding to a threat.We reached the car and I had us moving before Franklin’s door had fully closed. Not peeling out, not drawing attention with speed… the ordinary departure of people leaving a car park after a match, joining the trickle of remaining vehicles heading toward the exit.I watched the mirror.The dark car’s headlights came on.Not immediately… with the specific delay of something that had been watching and was now deciding the watching was over and the following could begin. It pulled out of its space with the unhurried confidence

Rydan’s POVI scanned the crowd the way I scanned things when I needed the answer quickly… not the full extended awareness I used in open spaces, but the visual narrowing that came with focus, my eyes moving through the dispersing crowd in sectors, eliminating faces, looking for the thing that had called my name with that specific intention.The crowd was thinning fast. Families moving toward exits, groups breaking into individual trajectories. The noise was still present but reconfiguring itself, the match energy converting into the ordinary noise of people leaving a place rather than occupying it.Then I found him.Seated still, which was the thing that made him visible against the flow of everyone else leaving. In the upper section, midway along, a man who had not moved while every row around him emptied. A hood pulled forward far enough that his face was in shadow from where I stood, which at this distance meant either the hood was substantial or he was something that shadow adher

Franklin’s POVMy legs made the decision before my brain did.One second I was standing in the doorway of the changing room, and the next I was turning, moving fast, trying to put as much distance between myself and what I had just seen as my legs would allow. The image was already burned behind my

Franklin’s POVThe door opened again about four minutes after it had closed.I hadn’t moved from the bench. My hand was still bleeding, slow and steady, and I had pressed the edge of my sleeve against it more out of habit than any real effort to deal with it. My friend’s words were still sitting in

Calen’s POVThe professor was talking about coastal erosion patterns, drawing diagrams on the board with a yellow chalk he always used, and I hadn’t heard a single word he’d said in the last twenty minutes.My notebook sat open in front of me, blank except for the date I’d written at the top out of

Karl’s POVThe question hit me like cold water.“What do you mean?” I asked, turning to face Calen.“You weren’t at school yesterday.” Calen’s expression was carefully neutral, but I could see something else underneath. Suspicion, maybe. Or hurt. “So I’m wondering if you’re actually planning to go
