“Nicholas showed us all why he is the master of the city,” he replied. “Both sides had injuries but no one on our side died. It was like being caught in a whirlwind. I never want to go through that again.”
“And David?”
“Eldritch thought it best to send him somewhere else, with the other hunters. You’re too special to risk and he’s too angry to trust.” He paused, and touched my shoulder gently. “Are you going to be all right?” he asked, as I sniffed, then gingerly sipped the amber liquid that burned its way from my mouth to my stomach. I shrugged and nodded, then handed him back the glass. I jerked my thumb toward my bunk.
As I lay there, I heard them talking in low whispers about my mental health and psychic ability, and how much counseling I would need to recover from my ordeal. I stretched both arms above my head and smiled to myself, relishing my “vampire” abilities while I still had them. Soon, I would go back to being just Caroline, dorky kid in school who tripped over her own feet and was everyone’s first choice for “whose paper to cheat off”.
But now I had something no one else had, or could take away from me. I ran my fingers over my lips and called up the memory of his mouth on mine: the sweet, metallic tang of blood under the mints he devoured to appear less monstrous. I felt him in my head and knew he was close, watching over me, keeping me safe.
“You will come back to me, tiny hunter,” he reminded me and I watched a shadow pass over my window. I sighed, trying not to cry over the things I was sure I would now never learn. I rolled over and bunched up the pillow in my arms and with a start realized there was something under the pillow.
I slid the familiar leather-bound sheaf of parchment out and glanced out the window. Nicholas was close, even if I couldn’t see him. He would never be too far away and once his kingdom was back in order, and I was old enough to choose where I would go, I would see him again.
