Five (Stevie Rae)
He didn't come.
He left me their to die.
How could he?
"Stevie Rae."
"Rephaim!"
"What are you talking about? It's me. Dallas. You know, your boyfriend?"
I'm back in the sewer?
Oh.
"Who is 'Rephaim' anyway?"
No.
"He is - was a very close friend of mine."
"What happened to him?"
"I don't know."
I really didn't.
Maybe I could try and find him through our bond!
Rephaim. I-
Darkness.
EVERYWHERE.
NO! FIGHT IT!
Suddenly, a tendril of darkness came towards me and-
I gasped.
"Stevie Rae? What's wrong?"
He couldn't know.
He wouldn't understand.
Through the bond, I could feel hatred.
But who was it towards?
I needed to find out but how?
"Dallas, what happened to me after the bull collected his debt?"
"Well, I couldn't get through the darkness in time to stop the bull. But I found you after the bull left, lying on the ground, covered in a lot of blood. I thought you had died. Then I saw you barely breathing. So I kinda transfused some of my blood to save your butt. Your welcome."
" If I lost that much blood, how long have I been out?"
"Almost a week."
No freakin' way.
"Did the others deliver the prophecy?"
"Of course."
Okay.
That's one less thing that I have to worry about.
But what about Rephaim?
I can't mention him to the others.
They would kill him, especially since he killed Professor Anastasia.
What would Dragon think?
He might kill me for keeping Rephaim a secret.
But not before Zoey does.
Oh, man.
When did things get so complicated?
When you fell in love with a Ravenmocker.
Yeah, that sounds about right.
"I think you need some fresh air."
"That sounds really nice right now. And Dallas?"
"Yeah?"
"I think it would be better if I went by myself."
"What?"
"I just need some time to think about what I've done and how my actions affected the other red vampyres. Just for a little while."
"If that's what you wanna do, I ain't gonna stop you."
"Thanks, Dallas."
On my own.
Again.
Once I was far enough from the sewers, I had to try.
At least once.
"Where are you, Rephaim?" I whispered.
"Right behind you."
Geez. Stevie Rae sure has a lot to say. Like the story so far? Please leave a review!
