As the weeks passed, the tension within the group began to grow. Anna and Mark sensed that something was wrong, but they couldn’t figure out what it was. Then, one night, they were all gathered in Adrian’s den when one of their friends, Lily, spoke.
“I’m tired of taking orders from the old vampire,” she said, and her eyes flashed with anger. “We are young and strong, we don’t need him telling us what to do.”
The others murmured in agreement, but Anna and Mark exchanged worried glances. They knew the old vampire was leading them for a reason, and they didn’t want to do anything that would compromise their safety.
But Lily was already on a mission. She was secretly communicating with a clan of rogue vampires who shared her desire for power, and they were hatching a plan to overthrow the elder vampire and seize territory.
Anna and Mark tried to reason with their friends, but it was useless. They had already made up their minds. The group broke up: Lily and her allies went to carry out their plan, while the boys and the remaining friends were left, not knowing what to do next.
As the days passed, there was no word from Lily or her group. Anna and Mark grew more and more worried, but they didn’t know who to turn to for help. They couldn’t go to the older vampire, for he would surely be angry that they had allowed a mutiny to occur. But they couldn’t just sit back and do nothing.
Finally, one night they received a message from Lily. It was short and to the point: “Meet me at the abandoned warehouse on 5th Street. Come alone.”
The pair knew it was a trap, but they had no choice but to leave. They slipped out of their hiding place and headed toward the warehouse, cautiously looking around for any sign of danger.
As they entered the dark and empty space, they saw Lily standing there, surrounded by several other vampires. Anna and Mark tensed, ready for a fight.
But Lily surprised them by dropping to her knees and bowing her head. – I’m sorry,” she said, her voice tight with excitement. “I didn’t know what else to do. We were all so hungry for power, and I got bogged down in it. But I realize now that we were wrong.”
The boys exchanged glances of relief. They knew they’d dodged a bullet, but they also knew they couldn’t trust Lily or her allies again.
