Chapter 51: Day 18 (night) 13/14
Leaving them with that not terribly comforting piece of truth, Sinn gave Yoanna’s hand a quick squeeze and headed towards the turning that led to the farm. Even though she was pretty certain that the main part of the drive wouldn’t be booby-trapped she rode slowly and gave every stray leaf or turned over bit of gravel an extra look. The cameras dotted alongside on the trees she ignored.
If her Mentor had wanted Ella dead he would have just killed her as soon as she had left the protection of the mansion. And if he had done as he had threatened to and sold her to the highest bidder, dead or alive, he would have kept on going and not stopped so close to Bitten. The man had resources and a pilot’s licence. If he was sticking around it was because he wanted to.
As she rode past the barn, Sinn kept her gaze resolutely fixed on the farmhouse and left that for Marcus and Yoanna to deal with. She did let her powers flow that way though. There was definitely s

The first part of their task had gone easily enough after they had split from her love. They had moved quickly but cautiously through the woods with no trouble or sign or traps or cameras. With the denseness of the trees and the wildlife that used the area, it would have been a frustrating waste of time trying to cover all routes on such a large property so he had obviously not bothered and had focussed on direct routes and the land around the farmhouse itself.Yes, that part had been easy. Made so by the fact that Sinn kept talking to her and because Yoanna could feel her so deeply through their power. Just as they had reached the back of the barn though, Sinn had to hang up to go inside the farmhouse to confront her Father.The silence had chilled Yoanna and had her struggling to contain the urge to race after her even though she trusted that Sinn’s plan was the best they had given that she knew better than anyone what he was capable of. A gasp was suddenly rip

Marcus froze. The silence stretching out was almost as deafening as the two blasts that had rung out so close together they had been almost one noise. Ella’s hand tightened in his, her nails digging fiercely into his flesh. Her whimper of fear was eclipsed by a rising moan as a contraction doubled her up.“Marcus, we have to do something,” Ella panted, pulling him closer as she breathed through the end of the contraction. “We can’t leave them there with that monster.”“Working on it, love.” Listening intently for any footsteps heading their way or a call from Sinn or Yoanna, Marcus looked around the room they had found themselves in. He tried not to focus on the furnishings other than to see if they could make potential weapons, it was no easy task though as it was obviously the room of the baby girl whose body was laid out in the barn along with her parents.If he wasn’t feeling so weak he could have made th

Opening the door to the cabin, Yoanna gently carried Sinn’s body inside and laid her down upon the bed. Sitting down next to her, Yoanna took Sinn’s hand in hers and brushed the hair back from her brow and ran the backs of her fingers across her cheek. Her skin was still so warm and soft that if she didn’t look at the blood or her stillness she could fool herself that Sinn would open up her beautiful green eyes any moment and grumble at her softly for waking her while warming her heart and soul with the loving smile she reserved for her.Leaning down, Yoanna caressed Sinn’s lips with her own. Filling her with power she begged and praying for her to wake up once more even though she knew it was pointless. There was no answering touch of power, no gentle stirring of lips. “Please come back to me, Sinn. I don’t want to go on without you.”Biting back a sob, Yoanna straightened back up and wiped away the sting of tears. “This

Marcus froze as his booted heel crunched against a ragged shard of glass hidden in the grass. Looking at the cabin before them he could see that every window was missing. Which had been the fate of many of the windows in the town as well as at the mansion. But to be stepping on glass so far away, and outside the building, told him that whatever had taken them out must have been explosive and it had come from inside.As no light flickered on inside the cabin to say he had been heard, Marcus continued to move closer to the abandoned looking building and signalled to Eric to take care of where he stepped.He knew who Ella believed to be responsible for the windows being shattered, and he wished it could be true. They had both see Sinn’s body though and even if it was possible for Reapers to become Vampires, it was a long and complex process that couldn’t be done if the one being turned was dead or even close to it.Even with a newborn baby to take care

A gentle but persistent tapping on the door stirred Yoanna from sleep. Turning in Sinn’s warm embrace she looked at the clock on the mantel above the fireplace. They had slept through what had been left of the night and most of the day also she realised.Stretching languidly, Yoanna slid out from under the loving weight of Sinn’s arm and pulled the throw cover back over her before stepping into the bedroom to retrieve a robe. She couldn’t remember anything past falling asleep let alone reaching for it but she had the feeling it had more to do with the person still tapping on the door. “Come in, Ella,” she called gently.“Hey, hope you don’t mind, I just wanted to check you were both okay? And as I suddenly got the urge for French toast even though I wasn’t hungry I was thinking that was maybe down to you?” Putting down the tray she was carrying, Ella smiled down at Sinn all snuggled down under the throw on the couch

Sinn could almost feel the tenseness in the library even before she opened the door and stepped inside with Mel. Most of it was coming in waves off of Marcus and Eric though as they paced around. Seeing Mel, Eric abandoned his pacing and moved to greet her as Sinn sat on the arm of the couch next to Yoanna who was watching Ella nursing Aimee.Tilting back her head, Yoanna accepted Sinn’s gentle kiss. Placing a hand on Sinn’s leg she ran her nails lightly over the inside of her thigh.“Okay, you two are reasonably calm and Marcus looks like he’s about to blow a fuse… what happened with that call?”“Ella and I are mulling things over waiting on you, and Marcus is tense because of where the call came from.” She lay her cheek against the hand Sinn ran over her shoulder as she watched the big man stalking around, his body bristling with anger and frustration. “England, what they did, what they still do, does not

Cutting the connection and turning off the TV, Ella sat back on the couch and looked around at everyone as Mel and Eric moved from behind the couch to sit closer. “So, what do we think?”Eric ran a hand around the back of his neck as he tried to take in the logistics of accepting even that depressingly small number of Vampires into their home if that was what they wanted or needed. “To paraphrase ‘Jaws’… we’re going to need a bigger house.”“If we trust them within the mansion that is.” Marcus held up a hand before Ella could even think to protest. “Ella, I want them out of there and safe too. We all do. But! I hate to say this… They have known a different life than us. To them, anything different is something to be distrusted and they will be going from a closeted lifestyle to one far removed from that no matter where they live. They will have to get used to trusting Humans, Werewolves, each oth
