THE SECRETS- I share with a Vampire

26. Get Set Go

(Ignore Typos if any)

"You know she is kicking?!" The excited voice of Dylan came in through the phone's receiver.

"Is she?" I said, a little less enthusiastic than usual.

Dylan is happy that she can finally feel her baby girl. Dexter is beyond happy that Dylan did not have any trouble with the shadows in a while. But all of us knew things will only get worse if we do not work fast. The shadows need a very small poking to start feeling insecure again. It is an irony how such creepy looking creatures can fear for their existence so much. 

"You okay?" Dylan sensed the dimness in my voice.

I told her what happened with Spencer's Nest and how we lost Desiree again. I also mentioned how I felt that someone from the vampire community is still supporting her and funding for her survival. 

"Do you think Miranda is lying to us?" Dylan asked.

I thought so too. But then if Miranda was lying to us, the phone conversation must be fake. But Miranda did not know that Dylan was tapping her calls. Is she smart enough to guess that she would?

You never know. 

"I don't know, Dylan. I'm so confused right now. I'm disappointing everyone"

Dylan sighed, "You are not disappointing anyone. I know things will get worse one day and there is no stopping what is to come. What we expect from you is the strength your leadership will give us to go through it all...to endure it all to see a bright day when it has to come"

Strong words. 

They were supposed to make me feel better but somehow I felt more burdened. Maybe because it was the Queen saying such things and the citizens would follow her lead. I cannot be a leader. I was doing such a terrible job at it already. 

I spoke to Dylan for a while but then she had to go throw up so she handed the phone to her husband. My hands started sweating.

The King.

"Be as calm as you can, Sasha" Dexter said in a cool and relaxed tone.

"Uhm-Hmm"

"You know Lucifer can feel your anxiety? It will slow all of you down."

I wanted to cry so badly.

"I...I don't know...we are already..."

"Shh..don't lose your hope already. There is a lot to do" 

I wiped a tiny tear which slipped from my eye, "I'm lost presently. I don't even know if Desiree survived the fire"

Dexter did not reply immediately. He was thinking and I was waiting to listen what he would say.

"Go to Spencer's Nest" He said finally.

"It is locked down."

He chuckled, "We need to do the illegal sometimes, Sasha. You need to go to Spencer's Nest. You will find clues and I strongly feel it"

"Okay..but...NO! I am going there."

I wanted to tell him I was scared. But then I realized, why should I be? Maybe I was doing something wrong by stepping into a restricted area but I was doing it for the welfare of people. My people. I am not there to harm any innocents or justify my stupidity to be the goodness of humanity like the hunters. I was being real and honest to myself. If I have honesty with me, why should I fear for anything?

The Goddess is with me. My friends will always have my back and the love of my life will never let me go. What else should I be fearing?

But then, I felt like something terrible was going to happen.
