Fatal Impressions (Book 2)

Chapter Eight

Sarah’s POV

Since the moment Jason left I had Lucas stay by my side the entire night, constantly investigating every little noise that past his sensitive ears. I sat on my bed knees to my chest repeating to myself; It’s not him, he’s dead, he’s gone. I knew it wasn’t him I had seen Jason kill him that day in the clearing but that didn’t seem to clear my mind of the fear that was plaguing it. My fear didn’t care about the logic or the truth it just kept flashing back to him, back to that day, back to that moment he killed me.

I tried to keep my eyes open knowing what would await me behind my closed lids but after several moments of silent crying they started to become heavy, my eyes were sore and it was useless to try and keep them open. Luckily at this moment Lucas decided to pipe up.

“Sarah?” I looked up at him through my glazed eyes.

“Maybe you should go to sleep? I just got a mind link from Jason, he thinks he won’t be back for a while”

“I can’t, he will be there” I said whilst looking outside.

“Who will be there?” He asked with an apprehensive look.

“He’s always there, waiting” I scrunched my eyes up, trying my best to push him to the furthest parts of my brain.

“Who Sarah? Vincent?” Hearing his name sent a wave of anxiety throughout my body. I placed my head in my hands and begun to cry even more, rocking back and forth, what was happening to me? The thought of being alone now terrified me these days when I use to cherish it, hearing ‘that’ name sent me into a world of fear that I could only be brought out of by the touch of my mate. What had happened to the independent girl I use to be?

“I’m sorry, I didn’t mean to bring up bad memories” Lucas sat down beside me and held me close to him. “I don’t know what to do for you Sarah, no one should of went through what you did and I hate myself that I wasn’t able to save you sooner” His grip on me became stronger, I looked up at him to see his eyes now only slightly filling up with tears. I placed my hand on his cheek and brought his face down so that we were now looking at each other, I tried to smile the best I could. “You’re a good brother Lucas” He tried his best at smiling but it only came out half-heartedly.

“I’m actually feeling a little tired now” He nodded and released his hold on me. I crawled over to my pillows and Lucas laid my blanket over me. “Goodnight Sarah” and he left the room, to stand by my door. I shut my eyes knowing full aware he would be waiting for me, in a world where I couldn’t run, I couldn’t scream, in a world with no Jason.

---------------------

I woke with a startle, to find Jason sleeping soundly next to me. I turned myself over so I was now facing him. Watching him sleep had to be one of my favourite things to do. To see him rest and not worry, the lines on his forehead weren’t creased but were relaxed and to hear his steady breathing and heart beat was better than any lullaby. The sun was up and I had no clue what time it was, it could be time for school or half way through the day but I didn’t care, I didn’t want to move from my bed, I didn’t want to be apart from him. Jason groaned and shuffled closer towards me, his fingers were gripping and releasing and moving around the bed in search for my body. I smiled and placed my hand on top of his and his hand stopped wondering and had now entwined with my fingers.

It wasn’t long before Jason woke up and we laid there for some time enjoying the closeness of our bodies.

“Do you know the time?” He asked. I shook my head.

“Do I want to know the time?” I shook my head again with a smile.

“You want to stay in bed with me all day” I said whilst bringing his hand to my mouth and kissed each one of his fingers.
