Chapter Twenty Two

🌕

Tap.

Tap. Tap.

Tap.

My feet tap away on the surface of my floor. My pacing is clearly getting on Wes' last nerve as he throws a glare my way.

"He might be just doing his job we do look for something to do to kill time," Vincent finally speaks he is resting his shoulder on the wall looking out the window.

Wes shrugs and then looks at me waiting for my reaction.

"Doing his job? It seems as if he is stalking me. He appears at my workplace the day after I beat him it seems more like he is looking for revenge."

I seethe still pacing the small living room, I breathe in through my nose trying to calm myself as I remember that Hannah is in my bedroom asleep.

"So what do you want to do?" Wes asks but it seems as if he already knows the answer.

"I'm going after him."

"Abigail, think this through," Vincent finally tears his eyes away from the window and looks at me.

I know that vampires don't age but Vincent's eyes seem as if they have aged ten years in the last few minutes.

"You go after him there will be others ready to come after you. You're one of a kind as far as we know and you already showed him you're resourceful let him take the next step."

"Hell no," I yell at him and then regret it as I hear the bed squeak in protest as Hannah moves.

"You're on edge because you haven't fed," Wes says and that's when my hunger lets its presences known.

"I know that."

The ringtone blares and we all fall silent.

It's my phone.

I stare at it as a bad premonition rises within me. The caller ID states its Mason.

I answer it and pull the phone to my ear, "Hello?"

"You would be interacting with humans," the voices whisper harshly into my ears and I'm sure if I were human a chill would be running down my spine.

"Where is he?" My voice comes out a soft whisper.

"Walk out of the apartment and meet us...alone in the clearing from yesterday or else your friend here makes a delicious snack."

"Chris if you touch — " the line goes dead and I let my phone drop to the floor. "He has Mason," my anger is making my body tremble and my fangs protrude filling my mouth with venom. "Stay with Hannah protect her at all cost."

Wes is ready to come with me but I glare at him.

"I don't have time to fight you stay with Hannah and protect her, please." Wes steps back and nods.

"Be careful. Vincent is going with you." Vincent is by my side in a blink of an eye.

"I need to go alone."

"I'm coming whether you want me too or not. I'll stay away from them but close enough to help you if you need it." Wes pleads with me with his eyes and I nod.

I run out of there with Vincent on my heels after a couple seconds Vincent disappears and my feet step out of the concrete into the ever-growing lush green forest. I run faster knowing that Mason is with them.

My feet skid to a stop as he comes into view. There is a harsh breeze making my hair whip in all directions.

The wind doesn't just pick up my hair it carries Mason's scent to me letting me know he is close by.
