'The boy is being compelled. But how is that possible?'
Mr. Richard was really confused. Vampires can compel other people to do their bidding to obey every one of their commands while playing with their minds but it's very rare for vampires to compel other vampires.
It's rare and very difficult.
Of course, only if the vampire is very strong and very old, with thousands of years of cultivating their charm, then compelling other vampires would be a piece of cake for them.
So believing that Uche had compelled Eric to do his bidding does not make any sense. Unless Uche is one old vampire in disguise, of course, then compelling a young one like Eric wouldn't be a problem. But Mr. Richard still doubted that too.
If Uche was an old vampire in disguise, he would've known all along, no matter how strong his disguising ability was. So Mr. Richard wondered,
'Was Eric doing this out of his own willingness?'
