Chapter 43

"Hello?" A husky voice answered the phone.

"Who's this? This isn't Mr K?" Eve asked concerned.

"Eve? I don't know if I should be offended, it's me, Leon."

"Oh.. Leon, sorry I didn't realize it was you."

"What are you doing with Lily's phone? Not that I'm complaining, I always enjoy speaking with you beautiful." His smirk could be heard in his voice.

"Ugh-" She moaned with pain growing stronger still.

"What's the matter? Are you okay?" His flirting ceased as he realized she needed help.

"Eh, I've been better. I could ask you the same since I called Mr K. Where is he?"

"Eve, please tell me what's going on." Worry grew in his voice, something Eve was  not accustomed to hearing.

"I'm just.. Do you know if it's possible for a vampires heart to start beating after it already.. died?"

"That shouldn't be happening unless a god made it happen or if there was a specific spell someone cast on you. Your parents wouldn't have done that to you would they?"

"No- I don't know honestly. Please find Mr.K so I can speak with him."

"Right.. Give me a second."

"Please hurry.." She whispered leaning forward till her knees met her chest.

"Hello? Eve?" Mr.K answered.

"Mr.K, I need your help. I need to get away from this place. I need to move as fast as I can but, I can't do anything. Lily told me something about a twin flame and if it's with a mortal, you'll see sights of them, then feel what they feel and then hear or something like that and I think it's happening right now. I'm in a lot of pain." She spoke as quickly as she could fighting the tears building in her eyes.

"Whoa, slow down.. Your twin flame wouldn't cause you a pain like that. It's sight, touch then breath. Besides, he's not in America, if that's where you're still at."

"How do you know that?"

"Well, when you were little, your dad didn't want you to go through what they went through, so they found your twin flame for you when you were about five years old. I don't know who it is but it's not there.."

"It?"

"Just listen to me okay? This happened once before.. or something similar.. Do you remember why you're so angry with your parents?"

"Of course. Otherwise I wouldn't be angry with them."

"I think it's your brother. You two still must be linked somehow.."

"Wait, Owen's alive?" Shock filled her veins as she thought of her brother.

"I don't know. I need to speak with your parents first. I know you don't want me to but if we can find him-"

"I don't care what you have to do. If Owen's alive, I want to have my brother by my side." Her panting grew, she was angry but she was willing to deal with her parents if it meant having her brother.

On the other side of the country, Owen(now known as Threx, he is unaware of the family he was born to and unaware of his true identity), was suffering with chest pains and stuck in his bed.

"Are you any better?" Andrew asked as he walked in the door. Andrew was Threx's second in command and his only friend. He refused to have anyone else come near him.

"No, it feels like my heart wants to stop beating." He pushed through gritted teeth. His energy was low, his chest beating slow.

"Maybe you're having a heart attack?" Andrew whispered to himself trying to think.
