Still nauseous from throwing up all the blood he consumed today, he found himself leaning against the side door, completely exhausted. [color=83bf7e][i]'obviously, I can't drive.'[/i][/color] he thought, which wasn't a big deal, really. The basement apartment he is renting is only one block away from Alexei's. He can walk home and come pick the car up tomorrow. He inhaled the smoke, hoping it would make him feel better, but instead it just heightened his nausea to become even worse. [color=83bf7e]"Ugh, piece of shit."[/color] he muttered as he flung the unfinished cigarette to the side of the road. He looked back at his car, shook his head in frustration, and then let out a sigh. Walking up river lane, Kade tried his best to hide how sick he felt from his fellow pedestrians. He didn't feel drunk anymore, but it did feel like he had something at the corner of his throat, itching its walls to get out as everything around him became blurry and strange. He brushed his hands on his face as he was nearing his apartment, waiting on a bus to pass by so he can cross the road, when something completely unexpected happened: across the street, there he was... Sam. Kade's best friend since childhood, Sam, had always been there for him up until his death. In a series of events unknown to Kade, Sam was murdered with vampire blood in his system, making him transition into a vampire himself. All of that happened as Kade began making a life with his new wife, Mia, a powerful hedge witch, which forced Sam to be very cautious by staying away from Kade's life. In the end, Sam came back into Kade's life only so he could spy on him and his soon to be coven leader wife, and ultimately was the reason that the vampires and witches were at war. He was the one responsible for the death of Kade's mother. He was the one who had murdered Kade's wife. Kade stared for a moment. There he was. Sam was standing there, blankly staring back at him, completely expressionless. It was extremely surreal as Kade hasn't seen Sam in years, and Sam, being a vampire, looked exactly the same way he did the day Mia died. Kade felt neaseua coming on even stronger, but with utter willpower he pushed down whatever was coming up his throat. He pulled out his gun and pointed it at Sam. [color=83bf7e]"Hey, asshole!"[/color] he shouted, [color=83bf7e]"Did you miss me?!"[/color] of course, he wasn't looking for a response, only revenge. He stepped forward, his gun aiming to hit Sam right between the eyes, as he pulled the trigger. Or at least he wanted to, but the damn bus he was waiting for to pass - [b]just did[/b], completely obstructing his line of fire. Kade grunted as he ran behind the bus to cross the street quickly, arriving at the other side and spinning around trying to locate Sam. His eyes darted from side to side, up and down, but the vampire was nowhere to be found. Realizing Sam wasn't there, the puke Kade had been trying to keep in all came out on the side of the road as he choked. Nearby pedestrians eyeing him in disgust, purposefully avoiding him. [color=83bf7e]"Sam!"[/color] he shouted angrily. [color=83bf7e]"Come out you coward!"[/color] Kade setteled down when he realized he was attracting quite a lot of attention. Smiling at a group of pedestrians that stopped to look at him. [color=83bf7e][i]'Am I hallucinating? Was Sam even here?'[/i][/color] he thought. He rolled his eyes, and walked around his puddle of puke, and continued his walk home. [color=83bf7e][i]'That wasn't Sam. It couldn't have been.'[/i][/color] Back in his apartment, Kade quickly closed the door behind him and began drawing symbols on it. His wife Mia taught him how to ward off vampires by using pre-enchanted grains that he had in a small pouch. As soon as he was done, he rushed to the washroom to puke again. This time there was no blood in it - It was mostly just water and stomach acids. Knowing the blood was finally out of the system, he brushed his teeth, and popped 3 sleeping pills as he crashed on his bed. He looked in his phone one last time for the day to see that he still has no response. [color=83bf7e]"Whatever"[/color] he muttered, [color=83bf7e]"I'll go find my own work, starting with Lover's Lake."[/color]
