Another Dumb Vampire Book (A BoyxBoy Vampire Romance) Book One.

Verse 19

Vote, comment, love me. :)

*Tucker's POV*

The closer we got to the mansion, the more nervous I became. Though I had no idea what my punishment would be, if I got one at all, I couldn't shake this growing pit of fear that seemed to swell up in my chest.

We had been running for hours. I knew we were getting close but still had quite the distance to travel. Aiden kept his eyes straight ahead, running at my side with Paul and Clair a short distance behind us.

I could see the worry painted on his face, but couldn't do anything about it even if I wanted too. It was my fault this was all happening, there was no denying that. But watching him now, as his long black hair flowed in the wind and blew passed, I couldn't help but think this was right for him.

I know I had taken his life, and changed everything that could have happened in it, but he just seemed...I don't know, better with himself. Doing a mental eye roll at my thoughts, I silently cursed myself for trying to make excuses. I had killed him myself. Not to make him better, and I needed to start admitting it.

Everyone stayed silent as the trip continued, all of us lost in our own thought. I wanted to know what they were thinking. What he was thinking, but I couldn't find the voice to ask them to speak.

Not a single one of us had a game plan for when we got there. As it was, this would be the first time for me to meet all of the council. Just like Aiden, Paul, and Clair, had never met any of our lords. It wasn't necessary for them because they had been changed in accordance to our laws. Aiden, however, was not.

Something that really bothered me was he hasn't had a vision in a while. I know he doesn't have control of them, but from what I have seen, he normally gets them before something major is about to happen. Like when I changed him, or before I told him how I felt.

The reminder of my thoughts sent a sharp pain throughout my body. I honestly didn't expect him to say it back, but there was still a part of me that wished he had. Just anything that tells me he feels the same.

I thought that maybe because he was still here with us, with me that he felt the same. But at the same time, where else would he go? He didn't even know vampires existed, let alone how to find any. Maybe he was just biding his time until he found a safe way to leave.

Coming back from my thoughts I turned my head in his direction again only to find him staring at me this time. Lifting his right arm and signaling for Paul and Clair to take off ahead, he slowed his pace enough for them to pass then made a sharp left almost hitting into me.

His body blew passed mine with a heavily determined look on his face. Following his movements with ease I quickly found out where it was that he was heading. A small cottage like house set far off in the woods that I would run to when I needed to get away.

How did he know it was there, though? The only other person who knew was Paul, and I don't think he would share something like that to anyone. I watched him run in front of me for about another ten minutes, racking my brain on how he could have known until I heard him gasp as a dead log caught his foot.

Lunging forward as hard and quickly as I could, I turned around in the air and caught him in my arms before he could crash land and hurt himself. His head buried into my chest as my back collided with the ground beneath us, sliding along the rocks and twigs until I felt my head smash against something bringing us to a complete stop.

The pain was incredible, beyond almost anything I had felt before in my life. The only thing that hurt more was my fight with Shera, and the damage that wouldn't heal because of Kylan's magic.
