Walking down the street with his backpack in his hand, Fex was smiling broadly. His grandpa had looked after him nearly his whole life and it was only a few years ago that he had decided to go into an eternal sleep and give control of the family over to Fexs father.
But Fex never forgot the stories his grandpa used to tell him, the countless things earth had to offer them as vampires. Of course, it had been many years since his grandpa had visited earth but the one thing he would never stop talking about was this drink called wine.
This was why Fex put it at the top of his to-do list when he would finally visit earth.
"You’re being followed you know," Ham said.
"Yeah, I can tell," Fex replied.
"Did the family find us already?" Ham asked.
Fex started to sniff the air when he noticed that there were at least four people following them from a distance.
"No they don’t smell like vampires, most likely they are humans. But why are they following us?" Fex said.
Although Fex didn’t pay much attention during his lessons, there was one law that was hammered into his head. Never, under any circumstance, reveal yourself to humans. If they found out what you are you only had two options. Bring them back with you to turn them into a blooded, or kill them.
Right now he was sure he hadn’t done anything to make him look suspicious. Although there was a law against revealing that you’re a vampire, there was no such law saying anything about fighting with humans. Fex decided to turn around a corner into a dark alleyway, to confront the humans following him.
"I know you’re following me." Fex said. "Is it because I bought this?" He lifted up the plastic bag that contained the bottle of wine.
"Look I know times are rough but I heard the cities were quite wealthy, if you want I can buy another bottle for you." Fex offered.
The two men stepped towards Fex. "Relax, we are not looking for trouble." One of them said. "We just want to confirm your age and if you have any ID on you?" The other one said.
"It’s about my age again, what’s with this place? I already said I’m 16 and about the ID I must have lost it somewhere." Fex exclaimed.
The two men then looked at each other. When people were trying to avoid the military draft it was quite common for them to get rid of their IDs. They would try to live their life by other means never showing their ID card.
But Fex looked young and he had also confirmed his age to them. No more questioning was needed, the actions they had to take where clear.
"Fire when you’re ready." The first man said.
’Looks like I might have to fight my way out of this one.’ Fex thought. But he knew he had to be careful not to use any of his vampire abilities. But that didn’t mean he had to hold back from using his regular abilities.
He took a step forward and a small sharp pain was felt in the side of his neck.
���What the..?" as he looked to the side he noticed that something that looked like a dart had been shot into his neck, inside the dart a green liquid could be seen.
"Why am I suddenly ....feeling...so..sle.." His eyes started to close and he had collapsed onto the floor.
