A/N Thanks for all your reviews. I loved them. Infact they got me so excited that I wrote another chapter. I hope you like it.
Chapter 2
My mouth fell open. I put my hand on my lips and hid behind my car. I dare not look at who
was sitting in the driver seat. I already knew who it was gonna be. But still my eyes turned involuntarily ...and I saw him. I could not see his face clearly but I could imagine those green eyes smiling at me the way they had the last time I had seen him.
His head turned towards my car and I ducked. He could not see me...could he?
I peeped and saw Jill wave at him and he drove away. I released my breath which I had not realised I had been holding. Jill entered the university.
What were Jill and Adrian doing in Russia? And moreover what was Jill doing at the university? Had they found me? No, that could not be possible the alchemists had hidden my trail very well, they couldn't have found me.
I slowly came out from my hiding and circled half the perimeter of the building and entered through the back gate. The reception was empty.
"Who was the pretty girl who came before the first period?" I tried to ask non-chalantly but my voice sounded strained to me.
"Oh she! She was the model for some art project. They say she is quite famous in America."
I nodded and tried to keep my relief from showing on my face. So they had not found me.
But I still needed to be cautious. Alchemists had not given me my freedom for nothing. I clearly remembered the contract they had made me sign. That dreaded contract and what they would do to everyone I love, especially Adrian and Taylor, If I ever broke it.
I had to keep away from Adrian, I could not let him know I was here, to save him from me.
"Dasvedaniya" I said to the receptionist.
She smiled and I got out and sat in my car, pressing my back against the cool seat cover. Today when i had seen him I had almost had a break down. I had wanted to reach out and touch his face.
Adrian's face flashed in my mind, his hand curled around my cheek, his eyes laughing at me, "My little Miss I'm a Quick Study".
I had groaned at that time but now I'd give away almost everything to have him call me that.
I had to get away. This time I was lucky but it wasn't going to be so the next time.
My phone tang and I saw it was from them. They usually called at night.
"Hello Sydney here"
"Miss Sage a strigoi was spotted in the east side of the city last night, the body is in the basement. You need to leave right now before someone notices."
"Alright mam"
The call ended. I stared at my phone and sighed. I called Taylor's school and told them that her babysiter would be picking her up.
I drove over to the address Stanton had given me. By the time I reached, it was evening.
I searched in my purse and took out another vial and dropped a few drops on the metal lock. It melted and I opened the door It was dark and the floor creaked.
I muttered an incantation and a fire ball burned in my hands. The room was messy and dust lined everything.
I walked across the room to a big hole in the floor. I peeped down. No stairs. I huffed and extinguished the fire and jumped down. Thud.
What was that sound?
Before I could turn around a hand snaked around my waist.
I screamed and a hand clamped on my mouth.
