Black Widow: A Vampire's Bodyguard

9) Time Travelers

"Where are we?" I walked around the nice size living room. Kade was doing something in the kitchen, soon coming out with a colorful drink with a lemon squeeze on the sides. He smirked, offering me one. Taking it, he nodded and glanced out the glass wall to the vast clear waters.

"An island off of a Greece, my second home."

I blinked, watching him take a few sips. "So why stay with people?"

He shrugged, "I can't be predictable, ya know?" He smirked, walking off to the bedroom. "Sorry, there's only one room here too unless you want to sleep on the couch."

"That's sounds like a cheesy pick up line." I groaned, taking a sip from the glass, really tasting the vodka. I grimaced, fighting to not not dry heave while he was still in the room. How could this guy drink this stuff? "But I call the bed." I turned halfway to him, standing in the bedroom doorway.

"Too bad, I called it."

"Then we're bed mates." I raised a brow. "Just don't touch me when I'm sleeping."

He came back. "Same here." winking at me. "We need to figure what's our plan now."

"If I want to get accepted as the best in Aiden's eyes then of course."

He sat down on the white sofa, settling this drink down on the coffee table. "Did you ever think you are the best but just too good for Aiden and his gang of blood suckers and mixed mutts."

"Watch it." I growled, slowly coming over when he pulled something out from under the coffee table.

"Guy can't say his opinnon, huh? Damn." He snorted, unrolling the paper to reveal a map. He sighed, gesturing me to sit. "I've been looking in time patches for Sin and everytime it feels like I'm a step behind." He tapped a circle in the middle of Italy, glancing up at me as I slowly sat down.

"That's where you've been going when you weren't at the mansion, weren't you?"

"Yes." He nodded, both of us looking over the multiple circles and X's over each of them. "I just feel...not complete without it." He ducked his head down, I nodded, glancing to my drink. Kade suddenly cursed under his breath, glancing through my bangs to see him no longer present but now there was blood drops on the map. I snapped up, his figure dissapear through the bedroom drooway. Settling the drink down, I got up and called after him.

"I'm fine." He called back once I was in the bedroom, peeking in the bathroom and seeing him holding toliet paper up against his nose. Immediately, my head flashed back to what Nolind said. Because if he doesn't, he'll die. I came in, getting his eyes on me. "I said I'm fine."

"No, you're not." I muttered, pushing him backwards to sit on the rim of the bathtub. "No--Nolind said if you didn't find Sin, you..."

He ripped the toliet paper away, sniffling. "I what?"

I huffed, getting a new peice of toliet paper and dabbing his nose, bugging me. "I'd rather not say." I whispered, fighting to not meet those eyes. He shook his head, leaning over and grabbing his head. He was speaking in a different language, muttering it under his breath. I touched his shoulders, feeling through his toasty skin he was trembling. I can't believe I was going to say it, leaning my head back to stare at the ceiling. "...I'm not going to let it happen, Kade. We're going to find it."

There was an awkward pause, making me glanced down right when he groaned low and hugged my waist. I fought my insides to not slap him repeatedly till he let go, growling faint but playing with his hair. If I knew it was so silky soft, I would be playing it a long time ago. "Come, we should stare looking."
