“Your heart sped up while you were in the bathroom,” he scoffed and quickly reached for my face. I thought he was going to slap me, but instead he rubbed at the corner of my mouth and held up his finger. When I had wiped the woman’s blood from my lips I had missed a spot.
“Well, she…she deserved it,” I justified in a hushed voice. “You saw the way she looked at me—like she somehow knew what I was and thought she was better—and I told you I was starving!” I had no intention of telling him about the terrifying vision I’d had.
“You can’t do that,” he said severely through a clenched jaw. “Not here. Not in this country. These people are different, Genevieve. They know all about vampires and they still secretly hunt them here.”
My eyes widened with alarm. “I’m sorry,” I said sincerely. “You’re right. It was stupid and I didn’t think it through. I knew I could hypnotize her and she wouldn’t remember anything. I made sure the wound had closed up, and she was sleeping peacefully when I left her.”
William kept looking behind us. “What are you looking at,” I said and tried to turn around to see, but he tightened his hold on my elbow and quickened our pace toward the curb.
“Get in,” he said, holding open the door of a waiting car he’d rented before we left Haven. He tossed our bags into the back seat and slammed the door before rushing around to the driver's side.
As we pulled away from the curb I kept feeling like I was being watched. When I turned I locked eyes with a man in a long black coat with the collar pulled high. He just stood at the curb staring at me as we drove away. I turned my attention to William for a brief second and when I looked back where the man had been standing, he was gone. I sat forward and looked all around, but he’d somehow slipped away.
