Falling For The Vampire

Chapter 16

Sage's POV

I was released from the hospital two days after the day I had my procedure. I would've been in longer but it was shortened because of the blood Connor has been giving me.

"Come on Sage hurry up. The car's running", Connor said.

"Well it's not like your the one that was hit with a piece of wood and had heart surgery", I said.

"Okay okay okay I'm sorry but can you walk any faster?", he asked.

I held my arms out and looked at him.

"Carry me", I said.

"You're legs are fine. You can walk", he said.

"Well looks like you better turn the car off cause I'm gonna be awhile", I said.

"Alright alright come on", he said.
He picked me up carefully and put me in the passenger seat of the car then got in the drive's seat. It was a twenty minute drive to my house. Just as I remembered. Empty. He carried me to the porch but set me down. He looked up at my bedroom window and his face became red. Not blushing red but the angry kind.

"What's wrong?", I asked.

"Someone's been here. They've been in your room. The scent's fresh so someone's been here recently", he replied.

"Do you think it was Kane?", I asked.

"No. It's not him. Someone new", he replied.

"Who do you think it was?", I asked.

"I don't know but whoever was here most likely works for Kane", he replied.

"So you're saying someone who works for Kane has been here?", I asked.

"Yes. I don't think you should be at home for the next couple days", he replied.

"What about the house we were staying at before?", I asked.

"To risky to go back. I'll have Dylan come here and get the rest of your things tomorrow. You're coming to live with me", be said.

"Live. With you?", I asked.

"Don't worry my house isn't scary. Plus its not like I have a dungeon where I keep all my victims", he replied.

I shivered at the thought of that. Dead bodies in his basement? Creepy.

"Babe I'm kidding. I don't even have a basement", he chuckled.

"Yeah I totally knew you were kidding", I said faking a laugh.

I'd be happy living in my house by myself at this point.

"What about school?", I asked.

"You still have two days off I think. You'll go back next week. I'll pretend to be your father and say you're sick and your gonna be out until as least Tuesday", he replied.

"I can't keep missing school like this", I said.

"I know but I need to make sure you're fully protected", he said.

"I am when I'm with you. He won't hurt me if I'm with you", I said.

"He might try but okay. Once you feel like your well enough to go back you can go", he said.

He held my hand as we walked to the car. I got in first and then he did. His house was only ten minutes from mine which is a good thing. I got out and admired the house. It wasn't anything big. Just a simple house. No second floors, no basement (I guess) and a huge front yard. The house has a fence made of wood surrounding it for privacy I'm assuming. Plus it was the last one on the street and it was pretty much isolated from all the others. I don't get it. Expensive car but really simple house. It doesn't fit. Maybe the house is bigger on the inside.
