† Chapter Eleven †

Harry's pov.

I still couldn't believe what Randel has told me... the Crow was Shane Stone, Jenna's father. It seemed that he separated from his wife and soon after he started a relationship with Regina, a very powerful witch who had always longed for power, he has been exiled many times but has always managed to return to Dullville. What I was wondering now was why on earth did Shane want to kill his family? If he wanted to aim for Jenna he could've just told her he wanted to reconcile with her and her brother. She would have let herself be convinced right away! What a horrible man. Obviously all this would remain secret, I didn't want to tell Jenna any of this, she would suffer too much and I didn't want to complicate her life any more. I just wanted to kill him! Nothing else, so she would never have known and she wouldn't blame herself, because I knew she'd think it was her fault.

I kinda wanted to know how was she... Did I make the right choice leaving her with those dogs? I really hoped I could trust that prick to give her a place to sleep and things like that. She was probably pissed at me now, but I thought I made the right choice, I preferred to lose my life rather than let others die because I didn't do anything, they all had a family, people who loved them, I had nothing like that, not even my family considered me valuable, so it was undoubtedly the best thing to do, there was surely someone who would be waiting for my death with joy.I may fail in my intent, the Crow was hiding in the dusk of Dullville, it would have taken days to find him and I hoped to be able to scrape together some food in my path, in my haste I forgot to take some with me and I was starting to feel thirsty. Us vampires won't get hungry, we could last for months without eating, but thirst was our weak point, it could put everything at risk. And I had to be very careful, I would only be able to find blood around here, and I would have to try not to exceed my limits.Speaking of pushing the boundaries... Randel also told me that Jenna got closer to that asshole Trey. I told her to be wary but apparently it didn't help. Fucking stubborn as usual.I tried to remove that thought from my mind... I haven't been walking for long, I had no idea how I was going to get to my destination alive.I got distracted by footsteps behind me. I let my teeth out and I whirled around, ready to attack. 

But... I didn't see what I was expecting. The pack of Nathars and Jenna were marching towards me. Did they go insane?

The blonde girl in front of me took a deep breath before giving me a violent slap, making my right cheek throb.

«How could you leave me alone?!», she yelled crying. 

But, contradicting the gesture she just made, she warmed my cold body with a hug.

«Hi frog face, I see you're still whole», I smiled into her hair.

«Not thanks to you», she whispered annoyed, «Anyway, we are here because we want to make sure that you can reach the border, once you cross it there will be two of the circumvented witches. You know I was...uh-»

«Worried about me?», I interrupted her with a grin.

«Yes», she whispered, moving a lock of hair from her face and looking at the ground, «I don't want you to die»

«We have to start walking, it's getting dark and we have to find a good place to camp», Randel interrupted.

We started our journey again and I couldn't help but notice that Trey and Jenna were stuck together. It irritated me terribly. I hated that asshole, he would just hurt her and she'd be forced to admit I was right. Man, I was so lucky she was worried about me, because to look at her it seemed like she was too busy making the mussel attached to that filthy rock to realize that I was even observing her.
