Chapter 6: New Job/ New Faces

Faith's Pov:

After I left the cafe I sat in the park leaning against a tree reading my favorite book 'The House Beyond The Gate', I sip on my coffee enjoying the caramel. I sigh after a while wanting to know who was the stranger that took me home did I give him my address maybe it was a friend of Dimitri's, but no because then he would have texted me or at least Chloe so who was it? I tried piecing together the night I only had one drink I wouldn't have gotten drunk that quickly, was my drink spiked I thought while scratching my head trying to remember.

After a while I look around at my surroundings everything seems...too normal today not like last night when everyone was just looking hatefully at each other around the room It felt like If someone made the wrong move a bomb would explode or at the very least a purge would happen, I'm about to get up pausing my phone vibrating knocking me out of my thoughts.

I look down at the caller ID to see Cain's name I notice my hand slightly shaking I look around afraid he could be behind every corner that's how my life was, I was always looking over my shoulder because he was there or had someone watching me at least I could never go back to that ever I refuse to hopefully mum can keep this quiet she knows where I am let's just hope she has my back.

After the phone stops, I sigh a breath of relief and then hear the notification bell, I go into my messages to see Cain sent me a text.

'Where ever you are I will find you...you have no one to run to unless you want their blood on your hands'

My face turned into an automatic scowl you know what he can go happily fuck himself, I went through my phone blocking him and whoever he was associated with and did what he did besides Georgia and my parents.

Little did I know that they were all a part of this and I was too oblivious to notice the signs.

I get up leaving the park now becoming on edge I walk home trying to get there as quickly as possible while looking around discreetly to see If anyone is watching me, see now I'm paranoid. I arrive home shortly after closing the door locking it with a breath of relief leaving my body as I leaned against the door. However, It was short-lived when someone knocked on my front door thinking the worst I scurried away from it watching, afraid it will open and Cain will be standing there but then I heard a voice that didn't belong to Cain,

"Hello is anyone in there?" It was a male voice to be exact and a familiar one too.

Alessandro's Pov:

I nervously watch Faith's house pacing, contemplating going over there when she would arrive back home.

"Come on Alessandro what are you waiting for an invitation?" Dylan asks

I scoff "Of course not I just don't want to overcrowd her or anything she's new here, meeting new people and she is going to be on edge and I wouldn't blame her if she was, because she was associated with Cain at one point or she still could be," I said watching her house.

"Well Dimitry has taken a liking to her, do you think he knows?" Dylan questions

"Know's what" I replied

"That she's your mate," He said back

I sighed my eyes drifting to Dimitry's house "I don't know I never knew he was a hunter until last night," I said

Dylan's eyes widen a bit "Really?" He asks

I nod, "I have to give him credit for hiding it this long and playing nice but now since she's arrived he decided to reveal himself and I'm wondering why," I said out loud voicing my thoughts. 

Dylan took a gulp of his drink tapping the side of his brandy glass "Maybe because he likes her" He said

As I looked back to see him shrugging his shoulders, "No there's something more to this girl or not a hunter doesn't reveal himself the way he did last night there quite conservative with their existence in the supernatural world, We knew how to tell a part everyone from this town who was a hunter or not but not him he has something up his sleeve Dylan and I don't know what and It's bothering me" I replied

He sighs "Will keep an eye on him they haven't made a move against us It's been a year since the last attack on one of our kind" He stated putting his glass down on the coffee table.

"So did you get the information I asked for last night?" I questioned

He nodded slapping the vanilla folder on the table I pick it up and flipped through it and each page I read infuriated me, "Are you sure this is concrete, Dylan?" I asked shocked at what I was reading.

"Have I ever failed you before Alessandro" He replied

I shook my head and then hear hurried footsteps I look outside to see her go into her house slamming the door shut.

"It's now or never Alessandro" Dylan said raising an eyebrow

I walk out with him locking my door "Good luck and don't scare her off" Dylan added, I rolled my eyes walking towards her house and crossing the street.

I hear heavy breaths behind her door furrowing my brows 'Did she run?' I thought but continued to knock anyway I heard her gasp and move away from the door she sounded scared I took a deep breath.

"Hello is anyone in there?" I asked loudly

I slowly hear small steps come towards the door, It opened and I see her she looks a bit startled

"Alessandro?" She questioned as If not expecting me

"I just wanted to know If you're feeling any better since last night?" I asked

Realization struck her face "You were the one that brought me home?" she replied tilting her head slightly

I rub the nape of my neck "Yeah you were stumbling around couldn't let you walk home in that condition" I said

A blush rose to her cheeks making me want to laugh "Um...would you like to come in It's the least I could do after last night" She questioned

"Sure," I said as she closed the door behind me locking it.
