Chapter 23

Ethan's POV

I woke up next to the love of my life. She is still asleep, curled up into my chest. I tried to move but she grunted and snuggled in more. I chuckled at her, kissed her forehead and carefully moved out of the bed. I walked out of the bedroom and went downstairs where I saw Nash, Cameron, Matthew and Grayson. Nash gave me a glare and I gave him one back. I looked at Cameron and Matthew.

Me- "Are there any blood bags left?"

They smiled at me and nodded. Matthew chucked me one. I opened it and drank it slowly just like Jessica taught Gray and I. After a few minutes, I finished it. I walked over and leaned on the wall.

Me- "So, guys. What are w-"

I got cut off by Jessica screaming.

Jessica- "GRAYSOOOOOON."

Why is she calling Grayson's name?

Grayson's POV

Jess screamed my name. Why my name? Why not Ethan's? I looked at everyone worried and we all ran upstairs and stopped at her door. It was shut. I looked at Ethan then at the others. I heard her whispering. I leaned against the door to hear what she was saying.

Jess- "Help me. Get me out. Get me out. Grayson, help me."

I was worried. I opened the door slowly and looked at her. She was sitting at the end of the bed, knees up to her face and blocking her ears. There was nothing to be heard except the breathing in the room coming from all of us. I quickly walked up to her and sat next to her, Ethan sat on the other side. She was still blocking her ears. What can she hear that we can't?

Jess- "Grayson."

She whispered. I held her in my arms. She removed her hands from her ears. I realised her eyes are closed. She must be having a nightmare of some sort. Like night terrors. Ethan and I laid her back down in the bed and was about to leave when Jess grabbed onto Ethan's and my wrist. She was tightening her grip. We tried to get out of her grip but it was no use.

She was breathing heavily. Then, she screamed. It hurt my ears. It hurt everyone in the house. I saw her window shatter into a million pieces and I felt a liquid come out of my ears. Then she stopped. It didn't hurt anymore. Jessica then gasped and held her chest like she couldn't breathe but she finally did. She let go of our wrists and looked at us wide eyed. She then looked at me and smiled. She hugged me and I hugged back, well duh because she's my best friend. She pulled out of the hug.

Jess- "I can bring her back, Grayson."

I was confused at first.

Jess- "I can bring Faith back."

I looked at her with happiness and confusion, so did everyone else. She has the biggest smile on her face.

Me- "How are you going to bring her back from the dead?"

Jess- "You'll see."

She looked at Nash and Cameron.

Jess- "Go get her body. It is still in the girls' locker room at school."

They sped off. Matthew didn't seem to happy with her.

Matt- "Jess, I need to talk to you, now."
