Falling for my Vampire Captain 176
Franklin’s POVThe knock came at seven-fifteen and pulled me out of a sleep that had not been doing me any particular favours anyway.I had been somewhere between properly asleep and the frustrating shallow version that left you more tired than when you closed your eyes, and the knock was almost a relief in the sense that it gave me permission to stop pretending the night was going to improve. I pulled on a shirt and went to the door.Mr Okafor from next door was standing in the hallway with a covered plate in both hands and the expression of a man who had decided that his neighbour looked like someone who needed feeding and had acted on that decision before consulting the neighbour.He was seventy-something, retired, with the particular energy of a person who had more warmth than he had people to direct it at. He had introduced himself three days ago when I arrived at this building with one bag and the general appearance of someone who had recently made a series of large decisions an

Rydan’s POVI didn’t think about it.The bag hit the floor of the room and I was down the stairs and through the front door before the rational part of me had assembled an argument for or against. The gate opened faster than it was designed to open and the teenager was already moving, which meant he had been watching the window and had seen me see him and had made the correct assessment that staying was the wrong choice.He was fast for his age.Not fast enough.I kept enough distance between us to look like pursuit rather than interception, managing my own speed the way I managed it in public spaces, staying within the range of explainable. He cut left at the first corner and right at the second and I followed both turns without losing him, and the streets around us thinned from residential to the kind of area that residential streets backed onto and nobody walked through deliberately.The warehouse had been empty for long enough that the building had started the slow process of forg

Rydan’s POVOne week was not a long time by any reasonable measure.I had lived through centuries of things and one week was nothing, an increment so small it barely registered against that kind of scale. I knew this. I held it as a fact in the part of my mind that dealt in facts and timelines and the rational organisation of experience.The rest of me was not consulting that part.The gym had been my solution to the particular problem of having too much in my body with nowhere to put it. Not the academy gym, obviously. A commercial place three streets from the mansion, the kind with enough members that one more unfamiliar face didn’t produce questions. I had been coming every morning for four days, arriving early enough that the crowd was thin and leaving before it thickened, and it had been working in the limited way that physical effort worked on things that were not physical problems.I was mid-set when I felt the shift in the room.Not a sound exactly. The quality of attention ch

Rydan’s POVThe traffic had no interest in my timeline.I sat in it for forty minutes on a stretch of road that should have taken twelve, watching the minutes stack up on the dashboard clock with the specific frustration of someone who had left with sufficient time and was now watching that time dissolve through no fault of their own. By the time the court building came into view, the session was already scheduled to have started.I came through the entrance fast and followed the signs to the correct room and pushed through the heavy door at the back of the courtroom and the sound of it opening made heads turn.Franklin was already seated.He was at the table to the left, beside a representative who had the look of someone provided rather than chosen, and when the door opened he glanced back the way anyone glanced at a door that interrupted a quiet room. Our eyes met for the length of time it took him to decide not to hold it, and then he faced forward and the back of his head was wha

Rydan’s POVThe woman left the way people left when they had delivered something and wanted to be somewhere else before the delivery landed.I watched her go and then I looked at Franklin and the look on his face was not the look of someone who had just received ordinary information. Something had shifted in the few seconds of that whispered exchange, a quality I had learned to read in him over months of reading him, and what I was reading now was the particular tightness of someone who was processing something they hadn’t expected.I crossed the corridor.My hand found his jacket and his back met the wall and the movement was faster than I had intended, which was becoming a pattern I was aware of and not proud of. I held him there and looked at his face and kept my voice low because the corridor had ears in the form of cameras and personnel and I was not going to give anyone in this building more than they already had.“What did she say to you?” I said.“Let go of me,” he said.“What

Franklin’s POVThe security personnel didn’t give me a chance to finish.Two of them were at my elbows before the second sentence had formed in my mouth, not roughly but with the firm, practiced efficiency of people whose job was to manage situations before situations managed themselves. I felt the grip through my jacket and the building entrance was suddenly very close and then I was inside it and the doors closed behind us and the noise from the crowd became something happening in a different world entirely.I looked back once.Rydan was being brought in behind me, and the look on his face when my words landed was something I had not fully anticipated. Not relief exactly. Something more complicated than relief, the expression of a person who had heard something they needed to hear and wasn’t yet sure what it cost.I didn’t have time to read it further.They separated us in the first corridor.A woman in a grey jacket gestured me left while Rydan was directed right, and the distance

Calen’s POVI woke up to an empty bed and cold sheets.“Karl?” I called out, but silence answered.Panic fluttered in my chest until I saw the note on the pillow beside me, written in Karl’s sharp handwriting.‘Had to take care of something early. Don’t worry. See you at school. - K’I read it thre

Karl’s POVI’d been with Rowan since before dawn.We’d met at the abandoned warehouse as planned, and I’d spent hours watching him pace and fidget, clearly terrified of both me and whoever was using him.“They’re going to attack you,” I said, breaking the silence. “The people investigating these mu

Karl’s POVThe figure in the shadows was wrong.Not just unfamiliar… actively wrong. The shape kept shifting slightly, like I was looking at it through distorted glass. One moment it seemed tall, the next shorter. Features that should have been clear remained blurred no matter how hard I focused.G

Karl’s POVI’d been watching Rowan all day.From a distance, staying out of sight, tracking his movements around campus. So far, nothing suspicious. He went to classes, sat alone in the library, grabbed food from the cafeteria. Normal student behavior.Too normal, maybe. Like he was performing the
