Sacrifice

When Lucas finally broke down the door, they were both gone. There was no indication of how they had exited or where they went, but they were gone.

"Fuck," he yelled, slamming his fists against the wall before running back out into the hallway.

He saw Violet, looking weak and shaken, standing outside a room with her arms crossed in front of her.

"Has she taken more revenge on us?" she asked with a tremulous voice, one hand toying with a chain that was around her neck.

"What?" his eyebrows pinched together. "Violet, stay in your room. It isn't safe," he said before running off the other way.

They couldn't be far. They had just disappeared. Surely they were still on pack land.

Lucas descended the steps leading to the front door of the pack house. Once he alighted at the bottom, he looked around to see the common area nearly empty of people. Had the vampire done something here as well? Where was everyone?
