The Blind Vampire (Book 2)

His Confession

Two weeks

It has been two weeks since I last heard from him. No matter how hard I tried to reach out to him in our mind link. I was always left disappointed, my worry then turned to fear and it was as if I was constantly walking on eggshells.

Running a hand through my tousled hair my face petting the cool wood desk beneath me. After I ran back home I informed everyone like he had told me to do. I warned them about his plan and how we couldn't just waltz in there.

Aunt Arista had been furious. Even that was an understatement. It took her a while to realize that right now we needed to wholeheartedly trust Wesley. Even if it had been hard to leave him trust was the biggest thing we need to have.

Closing my eyes I felt exhausted. I had been staying up late most nights due to everything going on. I was busy trying to find Nuri's murderer which I believed was the same person who killed Lila.

That was still something to be determined. Collecting my stuff I got up to make my way out of the library. It had been quite lonely without Nuri and Wesley and I found myself eating lunch alone and attending classes alone. Lauren, on the other hand, had already had her own group of new friends.

I walked outside into the cool winter air. The cold winds nipped at my skin causing me to shiver. I made my way home having nothing else to do except continue trying to get in touch with Wesley. I entered the mansion my bad eye aching a bit.

Amelia ran from the kitchen wrapping her arms around my legs. I pulled her into my arms carrying her like a baby. "Hi Lia, did you have a good day today"? I signed and she nodded happily.

We played dollies for a few hours before I eventually got tired. I went up to my room and greeted a swimming Nuri. I sat with the jar on my lap gently playing with her my hands gliding against the water.

Adora

Adora

Are you there...

A voice infiltrated my head causing me to jump. I gently placed Nuri back down.

Wes... I'm here

It was quiet for a few seconds before he finally answered.

I know you've been trying to reach me. I'm sorry I couldn't answer you sooner, I've been alright for the most part. His voice seemed weak and frail as if he had been severely tired.

Everyone is okay here. Your mother has been worried sick, she wanted to come after you. How much time do you still need? I chewed on my fingernails while pacing back and forth.

I need more time. I haven't been able to figure out what they've been injecting me with. My wolf has been so weak that's why I couldn't mindlink you. I managed to convince them that I'm on their side. They are using werewolves as test subjects for something. I don't know what yet but I need you to look into something for me.

I ran a hand through my tousled blonde hair. Just say the word Wes, I'll take care of it.

It was quiet again for about five minutes. The eerie silence worried me causing my heart to race faster. Wes... are you alright?

Nothing

I waited approximately ten minutes before I heard his weak voice. Adora... I need you to look up the scent of a hybrid. I need all the information you can get. I don't have much time... stay strong Piggy... I love you

And before I could say anything else he was gone. Just like that, my mind became empty. Except the beating of my heart rang so loudly I could hear through my eardrums. Blood rushed to my face causing my cheeks to feel hot.

I went to the bathroom to splash cool water on my hot cheeks. Glancing at my reflection I saw the dark circles beneath my eyes. My pale skin looked dryer than usual and the color of my blind eye seemed to be turning white.

Stay strong Piggy

I love you

Did he realize he confessed to me? There was no way his words meant more than that. Maybe I had been reading into it too much but the revelation of it all caused a feather-like sensation.

I love you
