watched him turn
to look at me. His eyes were full of sadness and he walked over to
sit near me. "Where is everyone?"
"Gone, but they will be returning home now,"
he told me.
"Quinn, they took my son. The other vampires
took my baby," I told him softly, as if he hadn't heard me when I
screamed it the night before.
"I know Precious," he said and touched my
cheek, giving me the same gentle sensation of calm that he had when
Julian was gone all those summers ago. I could almost hear his
quiet whispering in my mind. "I felt it the night he
disappeared."
"Where's Julian?" I asked him. He shook his
head.
"He hardly comes out anymore, never during
the day, and barely at night. He knows you're near and he knows
about your son being taken," he said softly, touching my forehead.
"Your eyes are different from before."
"My eyes?" I asked him, and then I got up
from the bed and walked over to the mirror. He was right, my eyes
seemed to glow silver, but I shook my head as if it were nothing.
"It must be the lighting."
"Michael and David should be back soon,"
Quinn said and got up suddenly. He walked to the door and barely
looked at me when he opened it slowly. "I'll be downstairs. Dinner
should be ready shortly."
As he left, thoughts ran through my mind.
What had happened since I had last seen them? Quinn was quiet, not
himself, and Julian not coming out in the day struck me as strange
because he told me that he loved the sunlight.
I was sitting on the bed when I felt Michael
enter the house, and then he was at my door. He stood in the
doorway and we looked at each other. Slowly, I got up and walked
over to him, he held out his arms and I hugged him tightly.
"He'll be home soon, Ash. He's on his way,"
Michael said softly. I shook my head. "He doesn't know you're here.
We weren't sure you wanted him to know."
"Well, he'll find out when he gets here,
won't he?" I laughed and looked up at him."I don't even know if
he's still alive, Mike." My eyes started to water and I pushed away
from him. "I can't feel my son, anymore. It's like he doesn't even
exist."
"He's fine, Ash. You can't feel him because
they don't want you too. They want you to think the worst." He
sighed, then took my hand and held it. "Ask Quinn about the witch.
Tell him that you need to see her. Tell him you need reassurance
that little Jack is okay. He'll help you."
Later that night, I followed Quinn through
the underground tunnels until he disappeared from me. I closed my
eyes, standing in the darkness, and thought about how I was going
to get back to the beginning, when I felt him close to me. I opened
my eyes and looked into the bright red eyes of Julian's younger
brother, who stood less than a foot away from me, staring me down,
with a little annoyance in his eyes.
"You should know better than this, Wolf," he
said to me in a low voice, using my married name. I stood up
straight and faced him. "You could get hurt."
"You wouldn't dare," I told him and smiled.
He smirked back at me and at my defiance.
"Try me," he replied, then turned and started
to walk into the darkness.
"Tell me about the witch," I firmly told him,
barely seeing him stop and turn back to me.
"Why would you want to know about her?" He
questioned me.
"Michael told me that she could help me feel
my son," I replied to him. "If she can do that, Quinn, I need to
know how. I need to see her."
"She won't help you," he replied flatly.
"Why not?" I asked him. He laughed softly,
and then stepped closer.
"Because, you’re a vampire, Ash. She hates
us," he told me. I shook my head, as if I didn't believe him. He
moved at me and grabbed a handful of my hair, pulling my head back
to look up at him. He wasn't hurting me, but trying to make a
point. He caressed the skin on my neck, just to the neckline of my
shirt. His fingers left a trail of tingling sensations wherever he
moved them. I put my hands on his chest where I felt the heat from
his body, a soft pulsating feeling, and smiled at
to look at me. His eyes were full of sadness and he walked over to
sit near me. "Where is everyone?"
"Gone, but they will be returning home now,"
he told me.
