"Listen to me very carefully," He said after putting me against the wall.
"I cannot breathe without breathing in your air."
"I cannot hear without listening to the sound of your voice."
"I cannot live without feeling your heartbeat next to mine."
"...
"But why are these Soul Suckers after us?" I asked, completely confused.
"I don't think it takes a wiz to even take the wildest guess Amilia," he said in a soft tone as he looked at me.

"They think my blood can turn them human?" I asked quietly to myself.
"That's just a guess. For now, we're gonna assume that they don't know about you and someone just sent them out to fetch you who does... If the Nomeds really knew the truth about you then it would be millions of them surrounding us by now. Or better yet, there would be several other Supernaturals surrounding us by now."
"So you want to just stay here and wait it out until they do?" I shouted.
"You got a better idea?" He shouted back.
I sat there quietly. I didn't have an idea at all whatsoever.
"Besides, like I said before, the Nomeds won't make a scene or show themselves at any public vicinity. It's against their rules and they also only move at night time. So we're perfectly fine here."
"And what about Pete and the rest of the guys?"
"They're on their own," he harshly admitted. He saw me staring at him in disbelief and disappointment. I felt there was much more that we could do to help the others.
"What?" He shouted. "Amilia don't look at me like that, There's nothing we can do. They'll be fine with each other."
"There has to be something we can do. We can't just sit here in this hotel all day long. I mean how long do we have to stay here?"
"I don't know," Keith answered. "And Come on I mean, it's not like we don't stay in a hotel already," he joked. "Well technically it's a school now but you know what I mean."
"I don't even have any regular clothes. What if Sebastian gets word that we're here? Forget about the Soul Suckers. Or even Malakai, what if he finds out?" I started freaking out.
"Then I will protect you," Keith said as he awkwardly stepped closer to me. It's like he wanted to hug me to make me feel better but he didn't want to make me uncomfortable.
He saw the pain in my face, the fear. He couldn't help but to protect me. "Amilia I won't let anyone hurt you... ever."
I moved away from him and sat down on the bed. "You won't protect me," I exclaimed. "You don't care about me, you're just playing with my head like you've been doing. One day you wanna help and the next you could care less."
Keith said nothing as he stood there staring at me. I leaned over to turn off the last light in the room and I closed my eyes and went to sleep.
I kept having nightmares about Renaldo. Whispering in my ear, saying things that I couldn't understand. It was like he was telling me to do something. Telling me to kill someone. But who?
