Rise of The Queen (Complete)

Chapter 9

"Something is after her." Reagan narrowed his eyes looking at a distance and ran ahead to chase after it.

Lia and Tyler followed him.

Reaching a distance, he came to halt, his eyes scanned the area, there was something off about the place. The air was stale, his stomach churned at the sick eerie feeling.

"Are they here already?" Lia asked presuming her brother had sensed the Vampires but as the pungent smell irritated her nose, she immediately threw her hands to cover her nose, "What's this smell?"

"It's not them, it's something else," Reagan replied to her previous question, "I can't exactly pinpoint what but it's something very creepy," He added.

"Oh man, this place stinks like hell," Tyler gagged, unable to tolerate the smell anymore.

Kevin rushed behind a bush and vomited out, "What the hell is this smell?" He complained clutching his aching head.

Reagan looked at his sister trying her best to not get affected but she was barely holding it, she gagged as the smell irritated her beyond her limits, he then shifted his gaze at Kevin who was squatted down holding his head.

"For now, get out of here," He suggested assessing the situation, "And send the patrol team, I'll check on here," He told them.

"I'm not leaving you alone here," His sister protested.

"Fine, you can come along." He rolled his eyes.

"Neither am I," Kevin answered as he stood on his feet but he was staggering.

"Are you sure?" Lia looked at him with concern.

"This smell, you guys must be having it worse," He looked at them.

Reagan rolled his eyes at them but chose not to say anything, "Anyway," he stated, "Let's call the patrol team and get started."

They all nodded in response.

Along with the patrol team, they searched the area, but had no luck, "Keep searching." Reagan ordered as they moved further into the forest, soon he caught on the scent, "there," He led them ahead.

They followed the stench deeper into the forest, along the way they had discovered dead animals, most of them rotten, they assumed the smell was from them, but Reagan could tell they'd discover something much worse.

As they continued their search, the night soon fell and the full moon hung high on the sky, And just he had expected, "Alpha!" He heard one of his men calling him out.

When he reached the place, "Shit" He muttered as he witnessed human bodies, not one or two but piles of them.

"I'm having a bad feeling about this," Lia commented covering her nose.

"A very bad one." Tyler backed her.

The overwhelming smell of blood tickled his nose and Kevin threw up again.

"Are you okay?" Lia rubbed his back as he vomited his gut out. " I think, you should leave." She suggested.

"No," He shook his head, "I'm fine," He muttered but the nausea was back again making him throw up some more.

"You're not fine, It's been ages since you've been having supplements. Rejecting human blood all this while, it's too much for you to handle this." Lia scolded him.

"You never cared before, why the concern now?" He narrowed his eyes at her, removing her hand from his shoulder, "I can handle it just fine." He retorted.

"Okay, whatever, you're both going back," Reagan announced.

"Why me? I am not going," Lia protested.
