Chapter 16Jacob's POV Ethan came up that afternoon unhappy. Talking about how my little brother has found us. Apparently he saw one of his men on the sidewalk across the street from the studio. If my little brother is here, that only means that terrible shit is about to go down and that girl, Sonya, is a homicide victim. My little brother is ruthless. He learned it from me. I beat myself up for decades, knowing I'm the reason why he is the way he is. I changed him, taught him how to feed, how to kill, how to survive being something like us. Back then I was an idiot. My brother and I were inseparable, I basically helped raise him since my parents were so poor. I didn't want to live forever without him, so I made the stupid mistake of giving him this curse. Ethan explained to Jordan and I know we need to keep Jessica safe because if Dave knows about her. She will be his biggest target. Stupid prick, always wanting what I had. Ever since I changed him, he’s done everything in his
Chapter 17 Jessica's POV I woke up in the middle of the night with a throat as dry as the Sahara desert.scratching the dry skin at the back of my throat. How long was I out for? As I step out of the bed, a stinging pain shoots from heel to toe. The slight burn and intense sting let me know that I definitely have blisters. "Dang it, Jessica. You know you have sensitive skin." I sigh, talking to myself. A knock at my door almost makes me jump out of my skin. "Come in.” I say with a racing heart. "I'm sorry I scared you, baby. I just wanted to check on you."Jacob says,walking in. “My feet really hurt." I wince as my toes twitch from beneath me. "Come here, baby. Let me see.” He holds out his hand. As soon as I take it, he walks to me and lifts me into his arms. I can't complain because I really don't want to walk. If these blisters pop, I'll die. "Do you never sleep?” I ask as he walks me into the kitchen. "No, baby. We don't sleep.” He chuckles as he sits me on the counter ne
Chapter 18Jordan's POV I gave her a few minutes to get comfortable, thinking about what Ethan and Jacob are doing. They went to see what more they could find out about Sonya and if it looks like something Dave could do. Well, he could, but something he would do. Ethan mentioned seeing one of Dave's men while he was at the dance studio with Jessica. For me, that's enough proof that he’s found us and is moving in. After giving Jessica a few minutes to get comfortable, I knock on the door while slowly opening it. "I'm covered.” She tells me. Once I fully step inside, I close the door. She lays on the massage table with nothing but a small white towel covering her ass. She looks so angelic, so beautiful. Jacob wouldn't be able to control himself around this view. Hell, I could barely handle myself right now. But Nik is always first. I place my hand on her calf, making her stiffen at the contact. "Comfortable?" I asked, just to make sure. She hums nervously, making me wonder if t
Chapter 19 Jessica's POV I couldn't stop thinking about how relaxing yesterday was. I feel so light, weightless, like a feather falling from the highest perch, floating down but never reaching the ground. Jordan is just too sweet. I only felt uncomfortable twice. The first time was him first walking in, knowing I was naked with just a towel to cover me then the second time, him accidentally ripping the towel off of me. I know he probably saw my butt, but at least it was just that.He seemed to not be disgusted though, which made me happy. Nobody has ever seen my body, the only person who's seen the closest thing to me being naked is Jordan. And I actually felt okay about it! When Ethan and Jacob came back home, I was surprised to find myself in Jacob's arms so quickly while Ethan had a serious look on his face, as if he were in deep thought. When Ethan was helping me rub the cream into my feet, he still seemed tense but fully present. I tried to ask him what was wrong, but all he
Chapter 20 Jacob's POV I could hear her moans from the doorway and I know Jordan could hear them from his music room where he was playing his old records. She sounded so sweet, she smelled decadent, like the thickest honey. I resisted the urge to walk in the library and watch what's going on. I didn't want to overwhelm her so quickly. Ethan boasted for hours after that, she boosted his ego quite a bit. He told us how she was riding his leg and how cute her face was when it was twisted in pleasure. I bet her blue eyes were rolled back. The whole day we've been being lazy. Earlier she caught me playing my guitar. She was shocked to know I could play it well and wanted me to teach her. I never would've thought she'd want to try playing it too. She sounded like nails on a chalkboard, but everyone sucks when they first try something. Today is sadly the day she goes back home. She's still asleep, but Ethan told us to meet up in the office to talk about something. I assume it's about
Chapter 21Jessica's POV I started missing all of them as soon as I walked through the doors of my house. Bambi was already there, watching TV with a man to her side. "Oh! Jessica you are back ? She asked , before turning to introduce me to the man with her.This is Theo, Theo, this is Jessica." Bambi said, Theo smiles, "hey, nice to meet you." I give him a small wave, "nice to meet you too." Bambi's smile shows off her slightly crooked teeth, making me remember the story about how she's always wanted braces but could never afford them. "I have to tell you what Leo did at work the other day. It was so funny! We got this bitch of a customer and she just had it out for him, she kept yelling at him and calling him a little man. Boy! I was laughing my ass off." She rambles on with her story, making me laugh. "I mean...he is a little man. Stupid little man. "Did you two have a good time?" I keep the conversation going. She tells me all about her stay with Theo. Apparently, they hav
Chapter 22Ethan's POV The witch we're meeting up with today has lineage within my family. Her ancestors have been in close ties with my family for generations so I'm glad she's agreed to helping us out. "Emily, nice to see you." I greet her with a handshake. Her short white hair and thin arched eyebrows show wisdom. "Hello, dear. My family has books about you and your family. It's an honor to finally see the man described on paper.” Her voice shakes, showing her age. I smile and follow her into her small home. It smells strongly of sage and herbal things all mixed together. "Someone, please take this box. It's freaking me out." Jordan complains. I carefully grab the box between the thin blanket, protecting my skin from the contact. "I was wanting to know if you knew anything about this.” I slowly set the box on the table. Her blue eyes scan the box, making the wrinkles in her forehead become more prominent. "Where did you find this?" She asks, inspecting it closely. "We're i
Chapter 23Ethans POV Speeding past traffic, surpassing the speed limit, running stop signs and red lights. I just need to get to her. "Did she seem hurt?" Jordan asks from the back seat. "She sounded a little shaken up, but I don't know." As I drive, I think about what I'll do to the person, or people, who put Jessica in harm's way. I will make them suffer, plucking out their teeth one by one, ripping their fingers off their hands...so many evil thoughts. The hospital comes into view, making me park the car crookedly, taking up more than just one spot. All three of us run into the hospital using our human speed to not seem suspicious. "We're looking for someone, her first name is Jessica." I told the receptionist. "Okay, last name?" She begins typing on her computer with her obnoxiously long nails. She clicks and clacks on the keyboard, adding to my already steaming anger. I turn to Jordan and Jacob hoping one of them will know her last name. How could I have never asked he
