Chapter 19

After taking a quick shower I headed into the kitchen. My eyes landed on Alex sitting behind the kitchen island and eating his breakfast. A smile appeared on his face once his eyes collided with mine. As I walked over to him to have my now cold breakfast, my stomach decided to make its self know, gurgling loudly. I absentmindedly put my hand on my stomach as I quicken my pace. My hunger was stronger than I thought and I needed to eat as soon as possible if I didn't want Alex for my breakfast.

I quickly plopped next to Alex on the barstool and began to eat the eggs and bacon quickly. With every spoon full of food my hunger subsided and I felt my body slowly relax. We eat in comfortable silence. I felt his eyes watching me, sensing my unease.

After demolishing half my breakfast my mind began to wander towards Henry "when are we going to attack him"

His eyes shot to me "patience Ellie, we need to plan" he said carefully.

I shook my head frustration slowly setting within me "I've been patient enough, you've been planning for weeks and still nothing"

"So what do you propose" his voice had a slight edge as his eyes bored into mine.

"I could sneak into his house and kill him there"

"And how you going to get through his security" his eyebrow raised on his forehead, taking in my reaction.

"It's doable, I've been there, I could sneak in without anyone noticing me, kill him and then sneak out," I said between eating my cold eggs.

"Do you think I didn't consider it? He has too many vampires around him" I could sense the irritation rolling off of him.

I stayed quiet, straining my brain for ideas. I had to consider Markus as well needing to be careful, they would kill him. I couldn't have more blood on my hands apart from Henry's.

"Look, I know you want him dead for what he did to your parents, but we need to be careful. I can't let you get yourself killed." His irritation was gone replaced with concern. I gaze into his endless depths and catch a glimpse of tenderness. I moved my eyes away from him and let out a sigh.

"I need fresh air" I mumbled. Standing up I washed my plate and stepped into the balcony. Crisp cold fresh air hit me in the face. Goosebumps erupted all over my body as the coldness engulfed me. I closed the door after me and leaned over the railing of the balcony, watching the life beneath me. Cars passing on the road, people walking busy with their lives oblivious to the vampires and werewolves. I wondered what would happen if the humans would find out somehow? I looked up into the sky, angry grey clouds took over the sky.

I strained my brain for ideas of how to kill my so-called brother. I couldn't come up with anything. Alex was right, it was impossible. My heart sank, feeling despair in the pit of my stomach. A heavy sigh escaped my lips and I shook my head, slightly irritated with myself.

Later that day Liam, Olivia and Sam returned from the Base. They brought a few computers and set them up in the living room and kitchen table. Liam looked stressed and from what Olivia told me the meeting with the mayor wasn't pleasant.

"The mayor was an asshole about the whole situation," she shook her head, annoyed. He wasn't happy about so many weapons and technology was taken away by the vampires and of course the deaths. Because most of the dead slayers didn't have families as most of them lost their closest to vampires they would have to be buried and the city council would have to pay for it. The word 'asshole' as Olivia used was an understatement. The other slayers that had some family left had to be notified and come up with different stories of how they died, depending on their wounds.
