So sorry I haven't updated since basically last summmer, but my muse went a little dead in the off season.
I decide to walk to the Morgan household the human way. Vampire speed would certainly get me there faster and it's a beautiful day for flying, but if I'm dealing with something related to Ethan's new fledgling status I don't want it to end up as the royal disaster last night was. I arrive ten minutes later and knock on the door.
Mrs. Morgan answers almost imediately "Sarah sweetie, you don't have to knock...you're always welcome here." and then, she begins to chuckle. "Maybe I shouldn't have called you about this though...but I thought you've seen Ethan enough lately to know if I should be concerned or not."
I nod my head trying to seem sympathetic, in reality I'm trying to get more information out of her.
"He's locked himself in his room." she adds.
"Well that's odd." I respond completely sincere before adding "Do you think he'll talk to me?"
"Tell him he's not in trouble...we're just worried," she yells after me as I walk up the stairs.
I pause to knock on Ethan's bedroom door and after I make sure his mom is out of earshot I add "Oh fledgling boy..." in my sweetest tone."
Much to my surprise his response is "is anybody with you?''
"Umm, your parents are downstairs and I think Jane's still in her room, why?"
I can hear the door unlocking, however Ethan pauses to speak before opening it "Something is very wrong."
When the door opens, I can't help but gasp, before me is no longer the strong fledgling I'd seen just hours before, but someone weak and pale...someone who could very easily be dying.
I know I'm supposed to do longer chapters but I wanted to get your thoughts on why Ethan is suddenly so sick(plus my laptop battery is dying and I was supposed to be asleep hours ago)...next chapter should be up by the end of the week.
