“All of the Trackers are sent directly here because we need them as close and as safe as possible. They are the true life-savers. If we had them separated, we wouldn’t be able to get as many mutants. It’s best if you don’t think about it,” Nikolai shrugged at Scarlett’s confused face.
“Why do the Vulkans care about our schools existing?” Ryan asked.
Nikolai sighed. “See? Now this is why the majority of the fledglings start out in a smaller school. That way they can learn about all of this crap and I can save my breath,” Nikolai mumbled agitated.
“The Vulkans want to take over the world,” Charlie said. “Their ultimate goal is the rid the world of all normal humans and fully replace …show more content…
She’s a kitten who thinks she’s a lion. You’re right to be firm with her,” Scarlett nodded and Charlie looked up at her.
“God… Charlie, you look horrible,” she whispered. Charlie noticed that Nikolai stopped mid-sentence to look at Charlie.
“Hey, Charlie! What wrong with you?” Nikolai asked. Everyone’s eyes whipped over to Charlie which made him squirm slightly.
“I’m just tired, no big deal,” Charlie mumbled.
“He’s not just tired. He hasn’t had blood in over four months,” Dr. Lana announced.
“What? Charlie, what the hell is wrong with you? Are you trying to kill yourself? We need you strong and healthy for the fight, and yet you’re over here acting like an anorexic girl, starving yourself. What? Did someone tell you that you needed to lose weight?” Nikolai mocked angrily.
“No. I’ve just been too busy…” Charlie mumbled.
“Four months?” Scarlett exclaimed. “Why did you tell me two months?” she demanded.
Charlie shrugged and just stared at the table. “I didn’t want you to worry.”
“She should be worrying, though! I hate to say this, but you need to find yourself a host by tonight. I can’t risk losing you,” Nikolai said firmly.
“I can’t risk killing another mutant,” Charlie …show more content…
Do you have something against my blood?” Nikolai shouted, offended. Dr. Lana rested her hand on his shoulder and he visibly relaxed.
“I’m not risking the chance of imprinting with you, Nikolai. That would just be weird. Plus, I don’t want to share that kind of experience with you,” Charlie mumbled with a red face.
“What’s imprinting?” Scarlett asked.
“That’s when a vampire drinks the blood of someone else and they imprint on them. It happens every once in a while. The more blood you drink, the more likely and more dramatic the imprint is going to be,” Nikolai said in an irritated tone.
“Ok, that’s how you get it, but what is it?” Scarlett crossed her arms, frustrated.
“An imprint is when a vampire drinks the blood of someone else and then that causes them to be telepathically linked; such as feel what the other person feels and to be constantly drawn to that person. So, say if I was to imprint on you. We would be able to talk within our minds, I would be able know whatever you were thinking and vice versa, and I would always want to be with you. The same goes for you,” Charlie explained.
“Well then what’s so bad about that?” Harkens asked. “It’s not like you were about to start blowing Nikolai when we got here. I don’t see how this is a step
