Leah's Imprint

Chapter 7

Me and Seth went back inside and he apologized to Daniel for freaking out.

" That's ok. I'm sure I'm sorta the last person you expected to see here" Daniel said with a smile.

"No kidding." Seth said under his breath. I elbowed him in the ribs to tell him to shut it.

The boys started a conversation about the latest baseball scores while I started thinking about ways to tell the council about Daniel.

I knew that Billy wouldn't be happy but I couldn't see any way to remedy that. My best bet was probably to talk to the imprints. If I could get them to talk Daniel up to their guys it could make it easier. Once I did that I could tell everyone at the next council meeting.

Yeah. That works.

I think.

I was pulled out of my thoughts by Daniel's voice. " Hey, I better get going If I'm gonna be able to find my way home." He got up and put his mug in the sink, rinsing it first. Wow. He cleans up after himself too. Score.

"Don't you have a car?" I asked. The thought of him walking alone through the woods when it was already getting dark did not sound like a good idea to me.

"No. I didn't think I'd be out this late just wanting to get some nature shots."

"I can take you back to your house! Seth saw the moving trucks there earlier today so I know where it is." Did I sound to eager?

" Thanks. That would be great. To tell you the truth I was dreading walking back home." He chuckled.

"Let me just grab my keys and we can leave." I walked to the front door grabbed my coat and my keys before leading Daniel outside to my car.

It was a 2003 Honda Accord EX V6 Coupe that Jacob had Redone for me on my 21st birthday. It was gold with beige leather interior and a sunroof. Jake had done such a good job on it that it looked new and since I liked cleanliness it was still impeccable.

"This is a nice car." Daniel said when he opened the passenger side door.

"Thanks. It's sort of my baby, even if I don't get to drive it many places." The farthest place I'd gone with it was Seattle

" I have a 2005 Range Rover that's seen better days."

"Why don't you get a new car?" The look on his face told me the car was in really bad shape.

" That's a long story." He was looking out the window as we pulled out of the driveway.

"I wanna know." I said softly. I had enough experience with pain to know he had some hidden in this story.

He took a deep breath. " Do you believe in vampires?"

I think I almost crashed the car….
