Chapter 30 Into The Darkness
Into The Darkness
AVA
I remember nothing but bliss.
I wake up in his arms on the couch with blood stained on my cheeks, along with his mouth.
I’m his. That’s all I know. That when I look at him, I know who I belong to, and who belongs to me.
I smile down at him and try not to wake him up as I crawl off of him. He’s probably exhausted, just like me.
I stumble to the bathroom and wash my face, then look up.
My eyes are glowing blue still. It’s freaky. He said that werewolves aren’t really made anymore and yet something feels different with him, with me.
Frowning, I look closer. The blue isn’t going away, it’s still there. I try not to overthink things, since that leads down the path of nervous breakdowns and move back into the living room and grab my phone.
Xavier’s texted.
Oh shit.
I look at the time.
It’s noon.
I was supposed to meet him.
Xavier: You coming?
Xavier: Are you safe? Are you okay?
Xavier: Now I’m really worried, just text or call.
Xavier: This isn’t like you.
I have ten missed calls from Gabe.
A sudden knock happens at the door, I rush over and open it, knowing I look like crap in a white t-shirt and no pants. The minute I pull it open, I realize I made a mistake.
A huge mistake.
Gabe and Xavier are both standing in front of me, arms crossed, wearing black suits and grim expressions.
"Sorry.” I gulp.
"We were busy, and we slept and…”
“Take her.” Xavier sighs and looks away from me, like he can’t meet my eyes or maybe doesn’t want to.
“What’s done is done.”
“You knew it would happen.”
"What?” I start to back away.
“What’s going on?”
Xavier sighs.
“It's not like I had a choice and you clearly…” He inspects my neck, tossing my hair to the side.
“Have already made yours, so now, we have a meeting, and now, you realize what you’ve done, and now…he faces his past and you, you will face a very uncertain future.”
It’s the last thing I remember before something hits me.
It’s darkness.
It’s cold.
I'm no longer warm.
And all I can get past my lips is.
“Eli…”
