Chapter 4
"So how was your full moon last night?" I asked Anna the second she walked through the door.
"Fine," Was all she said tightening the jacket around her waist.
"What's with the jacket? I don't remember you having that when you left." Lacey said from the kitchen.
"Borrowed it," Anna went into her room and shut the door behind her.
I set the book I was reading on the coffee table. Lacey came over to sit on the couch opposite me sliding a coke across the table.
"Thanks. So I'm about 95 percent sure that she doesn't have pants on." I tell Lacey flat out.
"Well you know how those werewolves get." Lacey told me.
Anna walked back in fully dressed in jeans and a T-shirt.
"You all ready to head to breakfast, I'm starving." Anna called to us on her way to the door.
Lacey and I followed her out of our cabin and down the path that led to the dining hall. After we all got our runny eggs and bacon we found an empty table.
"I always manage to snag the burnt bacon I love it." Lacey exclaimed holding up a piece of bacon triumphantly.
"Ugh I can't stand it burnt." I tell her.
I hear someone sitting their tray down next to me. Chris is grinning from ear to ear as he sits with his food. I feel my body instantly react to him and feel a blush start to creep onto my face.
"How have you been?" Chris asks me running his hand over my arm.
Goosebumps break out at his cool touch. "Oh sorry." He notices what his touch does, "I know how cold we can be."
"It's not that." I tell him pushing my eggs around.
"Oh so it's just me?" he teased leaning closer. "I can smell the pheromones coming off you remember."
"What can I say the animal in me craves you." I purr leaning closer to the vampire next to me.
I can see the blush start on his cheeks and I burst out laughing. "I might be horny but I can still fuck with you."
Anna cleared her throat loudly to get our attention, "I honestly don't know what I just witnessed but if you two are gonna go fuck just go do it."
I rolled my eyes and turned my attention back to my bacon. Norman came up behind Anna and wrapped his arms around her. Nothing could've surprised me more when she turned around and brought his lips down to hers. We all turned away to give them as much privacy as we could.
"If you two are done?" Burnett told the wolves, "I need to speak to Norman and Chris."
I gave Chris a puzzled look but he only shrugged and followed Burnett and Norman out of the mess hall. After a few seconds I walked out after them. The second the doors shut behind me my body slid away and I shot off as a sparrow into the sky. The view of Shadow Falls from above was amazing, something I wouldn't give up for the world. Soon Burnett came into view under an alcove of trees some distance from the mess hall. I glided lower onto a branch a few trees over from the one the men were standing under.
"The FRU is certain that the killer is still at Shadow Falls," this was a shock to me, "I need you two to start getting chummy with the other campers find out what you can."
"How are we supposed to do that without raising suspicion, everyone already thinks the killer is still here. The second we start questioning people they're going to be less trusting." Chris reasoned.
"I didn't say it was going to be easy, that's why I asked…" Burnett looked up and sniffed the air.
Shit I shuffle back into the foliage to hide myself more but it's too late. The vampire has my tiny body in his hand in a flash. I let out a shriek as he crushes half my bones easily. My human form comes back and I hit the ground with a sickening thump. Chris is by my side in an instant propping my head up in his lap. Burnett knocks him away like he weighs nothing growling in my face. I know fighting would look bad since I had just been eves dropping on them so instead I stayed on the ground.
"What the fuck are you doing?" Chris came back almost as quickly as he was thrown.
"She knows how bad this looks," oh didn't I, "she was spying on us and right now everyone is a suspect." Burnett growled in my face.
"I was curious, no one is telling us anything and I'm tired of always looking over my shoulder just to get to my cabin." I tried to explain.
"Honestly, I'm surprised you were the only one that followed us. I thought Perry would've been the one I would find in a tree." He stood up and took a step back.
I don't know if I should get up or stay on the ground. The FRU agent turned around and shot off into the woods. Chris pulled me into his arms and held me there.
"You can put me down now." I told him, still out of breath.
"I'd really rather not." Chris whispered as he kissed my cheek.
I was so surprised I didn't know how to react. Before I could he crushed his lips against mine holding me even tighter in his arms. Nothing else in the world mattered at that moment except Chris and the trees around us.
"Get a room." Norman was still standing there.
"Ok." With that Chris flew over the tops of trees landing on the porch of my cabin. Only then did he set me down on my own two feet. I stumbled a bit but eventually got the door open, his hands roaming over my body.
Anna was standing just behind the door the second it was open. Chris drew his hands back save for one resting protectively on my hip.
"Oh, I didn't think you would be back so soon. I was just waiting for Norman." She was blushing so much I don't think she even noticed what Chris and I were about to do.
"Well we're going to go back to my room we have things to discuss." I told her with as straight of a face as I could manage.
"Ok I'm going to go find Norman then." She brushed past us out the door and ran into the woods.
"Finally alone," Chris purred into my ear, "that is if you want to be alone with me? I know some might be afraid of the things that could happen if you were alone with a vampire." With that he bit into my neck and I cried out at the sudden sharpness, but that cry died into a moan as it turned into bliss.
I turned and grabbed the front of Chris' shirt and pulled him into the cabin shutting the door behind us. My room was just down and hall and Chris was already half way there. A growl rumbled from my throat as I watched him walk toward my room. The sudden sound made him stop. In an instant he was against me, wrapping my legs around his waist and my arms around his neck. We kissed as he carried me to my room and kicked the door shut behind him.
