Chapter twenty five
Alec's P.O.V.
I strolled the streets of a night time Mississippi town, that I didn't know the name of.
I wanted to be mad at what Tessa said, but I couldn't bring myself too. I guess that was just another side affect of loving someone unconditionally. Just looking at her heart shaped face, her dimples, her beautiful sea water eyes, not to mention the rebellion of the purple streak in her hair...I knew I could never be mad at her.
Though, that didn't make me not want too. But I had to focus on not Tessa, besides how much I wanted too, but I had to realize the danger we were in.
Not just the danger I was in, but the danger that Vincent, and Tessa were in.
As much as I loathed Vincent, I couldn't let my...girlfriend? Um, my girlfriend's best friend die.
It was hard to say the word girlfriend- or even think it- in context of Tessa...she seemed like so much more to me. Something not explainable...
Anyways, back to immediate danger. There was always the chance, that something horrible could happen to Vincent or Tessa. Considering, who the 'vampire hunter' was.
Lauren.
It had to be, that was the only possible explanation to why she found me that day. She found me, because she was in New York for Vincent, and she just happened to stumble upon me, following his scent.
But now I had no idea what to do. Should I tell Vincent and Tessa? Making finding Lauren and Dana all that easier? And Lauren would probably be killed because of it.
I didn't want Lauren to die, I wanted her to go away for sure...but I couldn't let her die. I had loved her once, left her, and it was my fault for her being so evil.
But was I supposed to do? Pretend to love her? I couldn't do that...could anyone?
I told her I didn't know what happened when she turned, I told her I didn't know why I fell out of love with her, and why our love just didn't grow stronger.
I told her I didn't know anything about it, but I knew EXACTLY what happened. I knew everything.
But I couldn't let her know, she would die inside, and maybe kill me out of anger.
So that would have to be kept a secret.
The bigger problem was, how would I keep Tessa and Vincent safe, and not get Lauren killed? I felt responsible for Lauren, and I didn't know how to fix things.
But why Lauren wanted to kill Vincent in the first place, I thought he was her brother! How could kill they're own flesh and blood? What had gotten Lauren so angry?
I had to figure these things out, and I only had two more days.
Dana's P.O.V.
"Sorry guys, but I need two more days."Lauren was speaking to us at in the car.
I narrowed my eyes, I couldn't remember how we got into Mississippi, only that it was a long drive...I must have fallen asleep or something.
"What do you mean? ANOTHER two days? So now, we have FOUR more days till we come face to face?" Ali said infuriated. Ali was getting frustrated, because she wasn't asking any more vampire questions. I could tell that she wanted too, but for some reason, her face would freeze up whenever she looked like she was about too.
All I know, is that it probably had something to do with Lauren.
"Sorry. It's the way things have to be. I'm not prepared, let's just say, I have to sharpen a few more stakes..." She grimaced.
