Now that I could focus I turned my attention to searching for him, seeing if I could hear his thoughts anywhere around, but I couldn't. I tried to relax, hoping that would help me, but there was nothing, it was like a blind man reaching out for someone that he hoped would be there but not finding anyone.
Was I going crazy? Quite probably. Total isolation and hunger would do that to any person, let alone a vampire who was dealing with a broken heart that no longer beat. Add to that an unquenchable thirst for human blood and my desire to protect the coven I called my family above all else and this was a recipe for disaster.
