Cult of Fangs

Chapter 5; Past

Hey guys, another new chapter. Hope you are enjoying the story. Shout out to @EquipoDeLeo for commenting. I really appreciate it. Also, sorry to say, I will be updating a forenight from now rather than a week, I am just busy and I won't have time. Sorry about that, but the next update will be on March 3. Anyways, thank you for reading!

Standing over my kill, I looked back to the girl's whose life I had just saved. Her face filled with horror as she stared up at me.

"Darcy?" Her voice was weak. I knew that something like this would happen. Now she knew the truth, and once again, it was all my fault.

"She gets on my nerves. She dares talk to me like that?! I will not let her get away with this!" As Veronica's screeches reached me, I wished that I didn't have such strong hearing. But I knew that it would come in handy, she loves to talk and if she planned revenge against me, I would know it.

"Why don't we follow her? We may find something about her that we can use! If she is as strange as she is, she must have some kind of embarrassing secret or something!" Rebecca, one of Veronica's loyal servants exclaimed.

"Rebecca, that is the best idea you have ever come up with!" Veronica jumped up with a smile on her face and an evil glint in her eye.

"Not that there is any competition" I mumbled, giggling. I knew that they wanted to follow me, so that means I could control what they see. This was going to be fun!

I made my way to the shops stopping only pat a cute puppy on the head.

"Hello Baxter, how's life?" I smiled as Baxter nudged closer to me.

"Why hello Darcy! Stopping by today? I can make you something." Mrs Gladius offered.

"No thanks, I am just heading up to the shopping centre. Do you want anything?"

"Thank you Darcy, but I am all good. I'll see you later," she waved me off.

"Who was that? How did she know Darcy? Is that Darcy's grandma or something?" Tiana asked. I rolled my eyes. 'Of course not, she is just a friend I have known a long time...' I thought.

"Possibly, but I doubt it. Look at the way she just walked off," Veronica surprised me with a smart comment.

I smiled as I walked down the streets. As I headed into the shopping centre, I saw that there was a sale in the clothing shop. I didn't need anything but don't often get a chance to shop so I decided to poke my head in and grab a few things. Besides, there was someone I wanted to see. The store attendant found me quickly to help me. A teenage boy who looked like he would often get into trouble.

"Why hello, miss. Is there anything I can help you with today?" He asked with a sly grin. I rolled my eyes.

"Why would a guy pay attention to her? There is not much to like," I heard Veronica comment. I refrained from turning to glare at her.

"Just ignore her, she ain't worth it. Besides, she doesn't know you like I do."

"Wow Ash, that was kind of sweet of you," I laughed.

"Don't go getting used to it, I still have a reputation to uphold," he smiled.

"Yeah, a reputation of the name 'Ashton Katara', causing people to cower in fear because he tried to use a 'Barbie' doll as a voodoo," I said sarcastically. I heard the girls behind me snicker.

"That was one time, Darce. Give me a break. Man, you're annoying..." He sulked. I laughed and went back to searching through the clothing racks.
