Chasing The Rejected

-CLARA-

“I… I thought you were asleep?” Dimitri questioned and I scoffed.

“I know you must really think I’m s**d but I’m far from that. I’ve known you’ve been up to something since the day we met. You claimed you were there to expose Aurora but you were always around me. You were keeping an eye on me right? Waiting for the moment that you can take me away for whatever plan you have going on right?” I questioned and he frowned.

“Clara…”

“Start talking Dimitri. What are you planning to do with me? Why did you bring me “Start talking Dimitri. What are you planning to here and who was that on the phone?” I interrupted as I stared at him sharply.

“Can

calm down? I’ll tell you everything but that’s after you rest for a while. Today has been such a hectic day and I don’t want it affecting the baby” He uttered and I scoffed.

“You’re already affecting the baby by bringing me here in the first place. You better start talking, Dimitri” I told him and he sighed.

“Okay, let’s go to the living room then so you can sit down at least” He uttered and I nodded before walking past him.

I always knew he was up to something and I knew something was up when he volunteered to take me away from the pack by himself. Why did I follow despite knowing all these? I was curious.

Why could he possibly want to kidnap me?

I took a seat on the couch and Dimitri took a seat in front of me. He stayed silent for a while which was starting to pi**me off.

“Can’t

you speak?” I questioned, irritation evident in my voice and he chuckled.

“Calm down peaches. I will only start talking when you wipe that frown off your face and stop glaring at me” He said and his words only made my frown deeper.

“Start talking before I start attacking you. I’m this close to losing my temper with you” I uttered as I glared at him but that smile still didn’t wipe off his face.

“Are you calm? I’ll only start talking if you calm down” He said to me and I sighed.

“Fine, I’m calm. Tell me” I told him and he nodded before letting out a sigh and immediately, that playful smile on his face was wiped off.

“Damon is in trouble, Clara” He started off and I frowned.

“What kind of trouble?” I questioned.

“There have been unusual killings in the supernatural world for some time now. Werewolves, Witches, Vampires, Lycans, any supernatural being you can think of are getting killed” He said and I furrowed my eyebrows as I couldn’t understand what he was getting at.

“I didn’t know Lycans or vampires existed” I voiced and he scoffed.

“Ohh they exist, they all exist but we have maintained a peaceful barrier between our species for years. We never ventured into their territories and they don’t venture into ours. The witches do sometimes but that’s because witches and Werewolf can co exist with one another on a tolerable level” He explained and I frowned.

“What does this have to do with Damon?” I asked.

“I’m getting there. You see, a lot of these supernatural beings have been getting killed for a while now. As a matter of fact, these killings have been going on for over five years

my frown now and guess who everyone is pointing a finger at?” He questioned and deepened.

“Damon,” I softly pointed out and he nodded.

“Due to Damon’s bad rep, he’s always everyone’s first suspect especially when it comes to mass killings like this. They are going to come after him and Damon is the strongest person I have ever met but if all these species gang up against him, I don’t think he’ll be able to win nor survive it. Not only them but werewolves as well will join in on the fight and things won’t end well for Damon, that I can assure you. I’ve been on the sidelines these past five years trying to figure out who or what was carrying out this mass killings and why they were trying to pin it on Damon. They studied his way of killing and executed it perfectly. I almost believed as well but I know Damon. He doesn’t just strike if he hasn’t been challenged or angered” He explained and I slowly nodded as this piece of information sinked in.

“So have you found out who or what is carrying out these mass killings?” I questioned and he nodded.

“Yes, humans” He informed me and I froze before I let out a chuckle.

“You can’t be serious. Humans? How exactly could they have possibly pulled

everything off? So you’re trying to tell me humans are killing powerful beasts like the Lycans and are not getting killed instantly” I questioned out of confusion and disbelief.

“I didn’t believe it at first, Clara but these humans are powerful. They have the tools, the materials and everything to bring us down. They are not a force to be looked down on. They are hunters and they have been around for centuries and the knowledge of

to generations. My ancestors fought for their lives back in the day against these humans and many lives were lost. They are powerful, Clara” He told me and I frowned.

killing beings like us have been passed down from generation. nd the knowledge of

“So what do we do now? How do we stop these humans? How do we prove Damon’s innocence?” I questioned and his eyes suddenly darkened as they stared into mine intently.

“You” He uttered simply and we both went silent before I scoffed.NôvelDrama.Org (C) content.

“Me? And how exactly can I prove that?” I questioned.

“You don’t have to do anything. I just have to use you as bait” He revealed and that just got me more confused.

“What are you trying to say?” I asked.

“I’m trying to say that the leader of these human hunters is your uncle and he has been searching for you and that’s why I believe you’re the key. I’ll use you to lure him out and then we can kill him. Once the head is dead, the rest will follow”.
